The proposai, of, the Cook county board of commissioners to turn over to the; federal govern- mnent, a large part où Skokie mparsli, including that portion now under developmnent as a CCC drainage. peoject, may be a,,wýay out of a dificuit and expen- sive situation. Aside from the fact that this regilon. .would f orm the only national park near Chicago, it is contended that it wouid still remnain a miost attractive playgrounid for citizens of the mietropolis as weIl as-those of thenorth s hore. The thought motivating the proposai is that when the .work of devekipment now i progress is corn- pleted the area will have to he maintained by the county, and the cost of upkeep, it is feared, will prove to be too beavy a burden upon the shoulders of taxpayers already carrying, too inicli of a load. For ibis reason the proposai, is probably advisable, if governnient officiaIs, do not rej ect thé offer on the grounds that the area is too smfiall for national park purposes. ,OBJECTIVES e. doubted by any intelligent, person who take. the trouble to inform bimsèlf of the provision~s of enacted and proposed legisiation. It is seen in the securities act. it is seen in TVA and other water power developnments. It is seen* in the trust-creating NRA.

It is to meet just such problems that the building and boan association was created, and its benefits have been proved over a long period of years, both, here and in other countries. That existing associa- tions are fast bieing converted into Federal Savinigs and Loan associations casts no reflection uipon the' privately owned organizations, for their record is one of practically no loss and an immense amount of profit.
