WHAT REAL COMMUNITY SUGGESTS Through the splendid community service campaign which has been so successfully waged lor several weeks under the leadership of energetic Albert Baumberger, the city's leaders have come to realize its importance. There are some people yet who do not know what it means. What is it? Hammond Community Service is organized friendship made practical. It is the medium through which the residents of the city and county get together and truly become members of the Community with a consequent real interest in community welfare, prosperity and stability. Community Service seeks to co-operate with the Park Board, School Board, with all agencies, organizations and groups in the furthering and strengthening of their own programs, and where there is a need in the leisure time or recreational field not filled by any other agency. Community Service seeksk to fill any existing gaps. It is to carefully study ways and means of safeguarding the physical, moral and cultural life of the citizens, through leisure time recreational and cultural activities with special emphasis on children and the young men and women, but by no means overlooking the older persons. Community Service Is a social clearing house and stands in the same relation to tne social life of and serves the community as the Chamber of Commerce functions and serves the community in its business and industrial life. Community Service does not attempt to enter the field of religious activities; that field belongs to the churches and such organizations that concern themselves with religious education and religious training, although Community Services desires to co-operate with all churches and such organizations In the development of their social and recreation programs. The field of Community Service is leisure time, looking at the problem from the angle of the entire citizenship of the community, therefore, it is essential that it needs be nonsectarian, non-partisan, nozi-commercial, and non-sectional, cn thi3 basis representative departments and committees have been formed to function for the needs of every individual of Hammond and vicinity. Recreational activities through the instincts of music, drama, social and physical recreation

are fundamental. Under community music such activities are fostered as group singing, traing of song leaders, glee clubs, choruses, orchestras bands, caroling, music week, music memory contest and many others. Through the drama department is fostered amateur plays, throughout the community using children as well as adults, working same Into programs for neighborhood and city-wide entertainments, pageants and civic festivals, the organization of a drama league and a little theater work-shop. Athletics and sports form a large part of the program, teams and leagues for boys, girls, men and women, In basket, volley, foot and baseball, field hockey, field meets, horse-shoe pitching, athletic tournaments. Social recreation will include story telling, folk games, and the socializing of programs in schools, neighborhood centers, young people's societies and clubs and the training of volunteer leaders for conducting games and social parties. Civic activities, not included in the program of other agencies or organizations, will be fostered by Community Service. Special days' celebrations that call for thoughtful planning, preparation and direction such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Washington, Lincoln, Arbor, Armistice, Flag and others will receive the attention of this Community Service. Through the department of girls and womens activities, special attention will be paid-to fostering the organization of Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls or Woodcraft League, thus filling a long felt need in this community. Attention, will also be given to requests from the older girls and women for assistance in securing the desired form of pleasure and recreation. There i3 no other organization or agency existing that can serve the community as Community Service, because it does not have a fixed membership fee, or limit the membership or activities to any one group, one age, one sex, it does not center its activities In one place or two in the city causing those who care to participate to come from a distance, it rather takes he activities to the people, in parks, playgrounds schools and neighborhoods. Community Service has no big overhead expense, rather its cost is nominal, being approximately about $7,500.00 a year and everybody is a potential member, with everybody having a voice in the affairs of the association.

A REAL PAYING BFS'NESS

A quarter's worth ef roasted chestnuts Is about the size of an eye cup. A nickel's worth Is measured m In a thimble, it seems t rr i. I asked one of these business men Why I got so few fo 25 cents, And he said, smilingly, "I tella you, meester, eet ees bacanse That ees the price of tve same." A good reason, and incontrovertible. For pure, unadulterated profiteering, Bald-faced and without conscience. These hot chestnut bird hae Anything skinned that ever stepped In shoe leather.

I am sort of an optimist . And I can take ths tport That the Standard OU Company Daid A 400 per cent, st-ck dividend, Without a pang of envr or remorse. I can "o this for the j ason that There are some business men in my town That make the Standard Oil company Look almost like a loser. I refer to the roasted chestnui dealers, 1 have tried for soma years to tet More than a nickel's -. rtL of f-hestnuts For a quarter bat have always 'ailed. The little tin measure that holds

One Judge refuses to have divorce co-respondents and other notorious characters referred to as "le dies and gentlemen" in his court. Well, darn it, what are we goin' to call 'em, judge? London doctor advises everybody to lie on the right side. Yes, generally pays better to do that. CONFESSIONS OF A CYNIC I see by the Paris styles that fat folks have gone out of fashion and angular ones are now all the tage. Weighing 230 pounds anc not knowing what to do about it, I believe we ought to cut loose frorr the Paris styles at once and stay cut loose. I don't believe that any man in any neighborhood is better informed than the barber or any man who flnda out so mack that isn't true. I often wonder how Europe got along without America's help before America was discovered. I know a man who always eats the parsley that comes with his steak but I do not admire his taste. I know some men who have nothing In the world but money and 'hey do not seem to have such a tough time, at that. 1 would last as soon be tried by a jury of women because I am a man but, if I were a woman, I would demand a male jury or none. I may have committed a few sins in my life, but I am entitled to some credit from the recording angel for the reason that I have never arritten any anonymous letter and I have never said a thing to a man's face that I wouldn't say behind his back. I had a habit of hanging in my library all letters I receive telling me how punk I am. I have now given up that habit because the library walls are now completely covered and I am starting on the parlor. New York man has invented a rug made out of steel netting. Well, can you beat that? Bank clerk stole $25,000 to go Into the bootlegging business. Ha must have planned a very modest strt.
