VAN DER VRIES When one>speaks.of a citizen-such as was John X o Van der Vries'af Winnetka,.he is _ at once str.uck, with. tbe futility of any attempt. to measure the value.of a life and its influence upon contemporarv, events.

THANKS To TRIUSHIP CLUB To the TriSbip club of New Tr ier High school muwst be given fl çredit for an unusual achieve- ment in bringing ta' the north shore America's premier exponent of claracterization, Cornelia Otis Skinner, who appears at the scbool auditori- un Wednesday night, March 4. The event will net only be of value te the club in swelling its student fund, ht thighly entertaining ta those fortunate enouig ta. be -present. While',the at-, tempt ta p resenit talent of sucb ah.igh order migbt be considàeréd audacions -an the part of a group of youngsters, the success which crowns the ,ir effort wilI serve as a.n incentive for, tbem te go forward with any plans tbey may have for, future nave it' tor everybocly. Their thaught is that the non-urban citizenship of tbe state will look upon the measture as a reflectioi, upon its honesty, and demand its defeat. We do not think aur country brothers and sis.ý ters. will be s0 easily fooled. There is nothing about the permanent registrati 1on system ,ta wbichi any citizen interested in bodnest ele tionscnra sonably take exception. While it. may involve a little more time and trouble the first time, it does flot have ta be, repeated, as lonig as the voter re- mains in the precinct . Andi saprtcint him against',the perpetration of voting frauds that miglit reasonably deprive him of victory in same election in- wh.ich he has a definite or personal interest. Downstate members of. the legisiature shouild' support the.permanlent registration bill and thus insure its passage. "'ONE GREAT, Bic, JOB" Speaking to the' Wýomatns Republican club o' Winnetka Monday of last week, Miss Cathrine Curt is, national director of Women Investors of America. placed squarelyjiupon the shoulders of ber hearers the responsibility for saving the American form of gavernment. Warning tbem that it is "a great. big job," she asserted that it is imperative that the present f arm of aur gavern-., nient be preserved if the investments of American women are ta be preserved. "Everytbing you have in this country bas came through the c-apitalistic' system," sbe said, explaining that a capitalist is anyone who bas saved anything at aIl. Referring ta tbe Constitution, Miss Curtis said that it is the individual's cantract with the gov- ernment. "It is industry that supports govern-' ment, flot gaverfiment that supports itidustr%.," she asserfed, and gave as ber' emphatic belief that real prosperity would came with a rush if the pressure were removed from industry. The important thing about 'Miss Curtis' address is the force with whicb she brought out the fact that every woman who bas investments in indus- trial or other stocks and.bonds must support the American republican form o f government, if ber investments are ta 'be saved, Insurance1 policies, bank' deposits, commercial and industrial stocks. and bonds. would have absolutelv no value under frains from quoting any president previaus to March 4, 1933. Probably not worth quoting, inas- much as they lîved before America was dis.covered.
