INsTANT AcrloN Th at foresight is'better than hindsight has again been demonstrated in the providing of relief, for victims, of the. flooded areas of the East and> Soutb. When* these ernergencies arise time'is too often lost and suffering. extended be-. cause communities are.flot, prepa red to takeè in- stant action.. Organizations miust be formed, plans devised and machinery set up toe gat ber and. for,%ard the necessary materials or rnoney. Alil this takes f ine, precieus hours and days if l.ives are, to besaved and distress alieviated. The Winnetka Community Cheaf recegnizeci- this ditiic.ulty several years ago and prepared to overcome it. A reserve fund was establislied which co uld be drawn upon at a momnent's notice, and instant action taken te put the inoney' at work ini the interest 'of hurnanify. As a result of this foresight, theWinnetka Chest- was en- abled f0 do ifs part in the present ernerge ncy without any loss of timne, while the Chicago area proceeded with the slower work of collectîng individual contributions and forwarding themn through the regular American Red Cross chan- nels. If is a splendid example of'the efficient man- ner. in which fthe affaira of the Winnefka Corn-. tnunity Chest are conducted. The plan might. we l be followed by the Chest organizations of other villages., Docs The dog population ini north shore villages is pre senting te officiais a problem of no smnail di-, mnensiïons. Jn some if approaches 75 per cent of the hurnaix population, and thaf means a lot of dogs. If is conclusive evidence of mxan's fondness for the aninials, and his commendable desire to enjoy the cornpanionship of a pet that in many cases shows almost hurnan intelligence, to say in gardens or conxritting nuisances at store fronts and en privafe porches, then relief must 'corne through police enforcernent. T1he wise owner of a dog wil net run chances of cither eventuality.
