Save Life I Let'a, Hatten the DagIt IF happiness and growth 'are the two Lsupreme -aims of human beings theri tbe necessary means of'achieving happi- ness. and, health. must be secured- and niaintained. One of ý the Drai tMe in o st ne cessary .means, Skoke!p probably the .most neces- sary, the, mostfundamen- tai, is, perf ect saniitary conditions. And j ust so0 long as sewers vomit their filthy con- tents inito ,basements during and after heavy rain falis, human health and hap- piness -are sç.riously endan'gered. It is generally.agreed that this backing9 ap of sewers in storm times is, due to sev- eral factors: Ditching to, the north of the Cook county une; effluent Of sewage plants ini the northivesterly, Part of the drainage area,; seepage Ieaks' and the like. Ail of thèese causes of overllow can be re- duced to one cQIilprehellsive cauise, naine- Iy, inadequacy of the present svstein to take care of stormn waters. Manv 1robleis of mnany kinds face north shore icotiiiiitunities, b;ut the para- *mount probl.eni is- this. one, of (riae involving as -it so, plaiîîly dloes the hiealthi of northl shore peoiple.'

We, regard it witb alarm, a kind of discomfort such as we feit once when we had thrust upon us the opportunity to seli some tic- kets. We hýad always hated to sell tickets, s0 thé opportunity was. not welcomed, not even with wonder. Sooner or, later we'Il have, to learn to. fly. Progress in the* field of aviation is being made with sucb Ieaps' and bounds that the oppportunity will be f orced upon us. We don't want, to fly, 'but we just know that we'll have to learn,- just as we had to learn to drive a ýcar. Maybe it won't be so disagreeable as we think.* Sometimes we've feit when ive were' skimfming, along the -concrete high- way at 50. miles per as *if we. were. flying. Perhaps if wings .wére attached 'to the, sidesof the -car, we .might leave the I ma- terial earth, take a short' and, excit ingz flight, and aliglit softly on the highiway'. There's a possibility-very slight to be sure-that we'll take up flying. So doing we mighit realize one of our childhood dreams of soafing like a bird over such obstacles as walls, trees, and even inoun- tainis.

Our hair-trigger f riends were, bowever, consid- erate enough to stage their little prank witbin a block of the Wilmette police station, so that the demonstration can be tabulated . in, gangland history as at least approximating success. Wilmette, it is suggested, may. retain some of Cicero's constabulary, the better t9 idéntify, the lads who invade the north shore for their littie parties. We Iearn, also, ,that 'London is about. to obtain the services ot a veteran Chicago gunan for hero stuif- in British'films. Not a bad idea, especially if such popularity would only entice more of his ilk to forsake Chicagoland for duty abroad.
