Such'ibaterial mU~m I theeditor. by ?.ay nôoouto . ain:time fOb* CHANGE ROUTE 42 riforts ýof the North Shore Property Owners Association, to secure remioval by the state highway department, of State E.bwy makesfm Sheridan road, should receive the hearty support of all nôrth shore citizens. Sheridan road serves through ail the north shore suburbs a bighly developed residenti-al community that is continuons in extent, touching only an occa- sional business section. It- is a route of, almost matchless scenic beauty, with nuieroust, curves, steep grades, beautifuil ravines and sharp curves, utterly undesirable' for commercial traffic,, but a marvelously attractive drive for sightseers. The association. recomniends Ithat Route 42 be moved to one of the broad highways to the west, where through traffic van attain a bigher speed and thus reacb destination in less time. The new Skokie. highway is suggested, and it appears to be the logical one to take on traffic which, by ail. means, should be renioved f rom a strictly residentiai thor- oughf are. TEACHEiRS' OATH* The Baker bill, requiring that ail prof essors, justructors and teachers in public and private schools, colieges and universities of Illinois shall take an oath of alegiance to thée1FederaI' constitution and to refrain frorn disseniinating information ýconcerning ail governmental and social systems other than those in operation in the United States, has been passed by the Illinois bouse of representatives and is now up for passage in the senate. TJhe measure, is not only a needless- one, but is fraught witb controversial possibilities that might well defeat the very purpose, for whicb it. is intended, and thost assuredly should be defeated. It points the finger of suspicion at ail teachers, wbereas, with tihe possible exception of an, unimportant few, our tlrougbou s is almost universal is, "Why bas not the purging been donc long ago ?". Obviously, no one without any means of support can be denied relief, for, no matter bow or from what source the ,noney is to corne to prevent- starva- tion, it must and wili b. raised. It follows, then, that if there b. those who can be removed, they, bhave been -wrongfully receiving id f rom state and nation. Sucb instanees are not rare, and it is these "cëlients"- who have imposed so heavy, a burden upon the taxpayers._ *It is no wild guess that if relief roils are pared down to includé only those desperately in need and, without any means whatever of caring for themselves, Illinois would flnid'no disposition on the part of taxpayers to withhold theý necessary funds. with or witbout f ederalý assistance. There would be no nmiserly inclination to keeép food from 'the hungry. Thé trouble bias been that the whoie relief admin- itaion,, fromi Washington down, b as been too often- imipôsmd--tupon by those seeking to secure something for notbing. This is due in great measure, no doubt, to the -f act that administration forces were not experlenced in social relief work, and w ere prone to aeeept staternents of applicants as gospel' trutb. The solution of that probleni is now, as it has been frotu the start, to put relief into the bands of tbe Red- Cross and let that organization take care of it. It would probably flot make votes for anyone, but it-wouid cut the cost of relief in'balf. Illinois resents tbe slur cast upon it by Mr. Hop- kins when he said tbat "I amn sure Illinois will want to do something for the unemployed." Illinois bas been doing something, and much, not only for bher own unemployed, but for those in other states more favored by the conimissioner.. DELAYS QSTLY Recently elected Village boards in the New Trier township villages now baving been inducted into office, attention is again directed to the absolute necessity for some concerted and unified action looking toward a reduction of automobile- accidents onthe streets and bigbways. This is a matter se urgent that itsbould have the immediate ýattention. of the various boards, and some plan evoived that will bring ail township boards and civic organiza- tions into aggressive and efficient, cooperation.

A bot discussion.is now goîng. on,. stirred up, by a St. Louis ýpr ofessor, wvbo averred that the fruit witb whicb Mother Eve tempted Dad Adam was a peacb and net an apple, as, we have bee» believing ail these years. Personally, al- thougb we bave no inclination to get mixed up in tbe con- troversy, we tbink the profes.sor is ail wet and that tbe fruit: was really an apple. It was Eve wbo was the peach, as the pro- U<EE P fessor will no doubt agree if be 0 T/ gives the matter a second thougbt. As we remember the story, Eve tempted Adam and be fell. Who ever beard of a man f alling for an apple? But Eves have been peaches ever since, and it is a, well established fact that alrnost any man will fail for a peacb.
