A Forest Park Milnola editorial column laments high living costs and predicts a rural exodus once whiskey prices adjust. It notes the streetcar strike settlement, fare increases, carpenter wage disputes, and political jockeying for 1920 offices, including possible senate and governor bids amid upcoming constitutional convention delegates.
Edith Ukileman portrays cheerful Red Cross canteen workers in khaki serving meals to discharged and jobless servicemen on a hot day. The note highlights their selfless service, the lively interlude of music, and the sense of home they provide to the wavering veterans.
In a tribute to Forest Park employees, workers are praised for equal opportunity, hard work, and cheerful service at the canteen. Names such as Elvin Chattieux and Louise Wallardhannon appear among the group, with some unable to continue due to health and others shifting to summer roles. The piece exalts diligence, patriotism, and the honor of staying on the “team” through tough labor as the community cherishes their service.
