Hall had requested an investigation by the regular grand jury, whereupon Judge Dady announced he would charge the December grand jury on December 1, when it would be impaneled, with the probe into why illicit gaming was allowed to exist openly so many years here. The citizens’ petition was not presented to the court in view of this development, but general opinion was that it had accomplished its end unofficially although a special jury had not been called, since Okel S.

Almost every subscriber has noticed this during 1947, and one group and another from time to time has become particularly aware of the change from the standpoint of its own interests. We have grown more vital, more aware, more critical — a little more like a newspaper, and a little less like a weekly bulletin. Our “eye appeal” has increased, too. IT has IS been ONLY FITTING accomplished what The Highland THIS YEAR that while we in Highland Park in take 1947, stock we of what also survey Park News has accomplished. WE HAVE TRIED to maintain closer contact with municipal affairs and to keep our readers informed of them. Especially during the closing months of 1947, we attempted to give critical reports of the conduct of city affairs. Encouraged by wide approval among our citizens, and firmly believing that good government always prevails in a community where there is a conscientious newspaper willing to take forthright stands in the interests of the average citizen, The News will continue in 1948 the vigorous editorial policies inaugurated in 1947. WE TRIED, during the past 12 months, to develop a greater civic consciousness, civic pride, and sense of civic responsibility among our readers. REALIZING THAT HIGHLAND PARK is a suburban community of which a large percentage of residents are commuters whose work in Chicago, center their homes, interests, apart from and the editors of The News lately have largely undertaken “bring home” the fact that Highland Park lies in Lake County. to In 1948 we will try to print more news of the county government at Waukegan in a continuing effort readers to their own county seat. to turn the attention of our AMONG THE MOST NOTABLE of our accomplishments is our recent and current role helping to bring about the investigation into illegal gambling now being conducted by the grand Jury. As far as is known, The Highland Park News is the only weekly newspaper in Lake county which has ventured to take a strong stand for action in this matter, and to keep its readers informed from week to week of developments in complete detail. We are convinced the gambling evil has been inter-twined with other evils amongst which oughgoing BUT we have lived, and manner may accomplish MOST CONSISTENT that to eradicate many it in a thor- ends.

A forthright editorial which we April 15 is credited with putting an end to “whispering campaign” which threatened conversation until elecpublished shortly before an unfortunate political to mar the friendly pro- cedure of the campaign. “VOTE APRIL 15,” our cover admonished the issue just before election day, and it was well we had conceived this idea, for the telephone strike which went into effect the day before elections posed a serious problem to “getting out the vote.” We like to think our conspicuous message had something to do with the fact that an unexpectedly large number of voters went to the polls. FOLLOWING THE MANY ELECTIONS and referendums held in the city, township, park district and school districts, we published an editorial suggesting ways to eliminate the confusion of many voting dates and polling places. There are indications that these suggestions WE ALWAYS and fund campaigns. may bear fruit in the future.
