The Volkswagen Delivery Van has an amazing loading capacity 170 cu.ft. (4.8 cu.m.) with a payload of 1,830 lb. (830 kg.).
To give you a rough idea of what this mean.s:
you can stow in its body almost half a million cigarettes.
Whatever goods are to be carried - you can load them
with ease and speed either through the wide double doors,
the large rear door, or through both at the same time.
There is an entirely flat and unobstructed floor
right to the engine compartmen t, enabling the driver
to stack his goods even in the furthest corners - just as required.
Whether he has to pick them up from a loading platform
or the ground - he will always have the body floor
within easy reach, saving him a lot of extra strain and effort.

Cost-consciou s businessmen have worked out
that billboard space equal in size to the
advertising area on the VW Delivery Van
costs more during one year than the entire
VW. That is why they are so anxious to utilize
both panels and top for impressive publicity.

Hom eown ers Act to
Prev ent Rezo n ing
An eight-point resolution
was passed at a meeting of the
Homeowners
Ridge
Timber
Sunday in an effort to prevent
possible apartment construction
just south of their area.
Donald Mann, 8922 Samoset,
Skokie, president of the Timber
Ridge group, stated, ''It is
never too soon, but it can be
· coo late," in urging passage
of the resolution. He said
that people move into the
Skokie area to have a rural or
semi-rural life and don't want
to see ''the city coming to
them."
While nothing definite has
been done to petition for rezoning the area in question
from single family dwelling
to apartment house construction, Mann felt there was
enough comment about such a
project to warrant taking action
against its possibility.
The resolution, copies of
which were sent to the Zoning
Board, the Planning Board
and members of the Board of
Tru:.tees of Skokie, stated:

dilute and seriously deteriorate the quality of educational
effort in our area for all the
children involved.
It would act as an opening
wedge to make more likely the
construction of town houses on
the 70-foot strip on the west
side of Timber Ridge, adjoining Crawford avenue.
It would lead to congestion
of traffic and parking facilities.
It would lead to an overcrowding of children's rec re a tional and play facilities.
It would create an urban
atmosphere which would be a
direct contradictio n of the
basic plan of this area as
presented to all of us, ';'l'hich
plan served as an inducement
for the purchase of our homes.

On July 19, there will be a

Pa rk Enrollme nt High
In spite of the inclement
weather on the opening day,
total registration at 13 park
playgrounds operated by the
Skokie Park Di strict totaled
1. 734 boys and girls ranging
in age from 5 to 15
Throughout the remainder of
the week attendance was good
whenever weather permitted
children to come to the playgrounds and Friday with the
sun shining all day attendance
reached its peak.
Registration will continue
for a week and any child residing within the Skokie Park
District area may attend any
of the 13 playgrounds during
the hours of the supervised
program free of charge.
CHIEF HONORED
A plaque honoring his 25
years of service to the community was presented to
Skokie' s Police Chief William
Griffin at a Rotary Club meeting
at Vosnos Restaurant, Tuesday,
July 1.
Skokie' s population today is
52,136.
Village Clerk John E. Seeley
made the announceme nt upon
completion of a special census
by the U.S. Census Bureau. The
nosecount was directed by
John W. Cam et of the federal
bureau's staff, who recruited
approximate ly 80 local persons
as enumerators .
The census was requested
by the village board not ortly
to determine how fast Skokie
is growing but to enable village
officials to apply for additional
gasoline tax funds.
Seeley said that, with an
population of 8,149 over the
43,987 persons living in the
village according to the 1956
census, Skokie' s share of the
tax money: would be increased
approximate ly $40,745 a year.
The special census costs in
the neighborhoo d of $6,500 well worth while from a revenue
standpoint.
Had the census not been
taken, Skokie would have had
to wait for an increase until
results of the 1960 federal
census were announced. The
village's share of the tax funds
1s roughly $5 per person.
Seeley said that building
permits being issued indicate
that the village's growth will
continue at about .its present
rate - 4,075 new citizens a
year.
Th1s growth may make it
advantageou s for the village
to conduct another special
census just prior to the regular
10-year federal nosecount in
1960.
Seeley pointed out that
results of the U.S. census
sometimes are not announced
for the greater portion of a
year after the actual count.
All this time -and money would be lost to the village,
he added.

THE VILLAGER
3, 1958
Written by Fanny Lazzar
by TOM BRANAGAN
This week's cover of the Villager is devoted
to a patriotic motif: a reproduction of part of the
Declaration of Independence. The colors: red,
white and blue.
We notice that other publications this week
also are carrying patriotic themes. They are
stressing Gov. Stratton' s proclamation that this
week be known as Flag Week.
The governor undoubtedly was acting on the
noblest of impulses, but throughout the proclamation is woven a chest-beating theme that seems
gratuitous, or even in poor taste. Among the
several WHEREASES we note such phrases as
"the greatest nation on God's earth; "our blessed
land has been charitable and helpful to needy
and suffering humanity everywhere"; "it has
al ways been and is a haven for the oppressed
and persecuted"; "our republic represents man's
greatest, noblest and most sublime dream," etc.
Th~ Declaration of Independence - signing of
which the Fourth of July commemorates - is one
of the great documents of history. This is not
alone because it proclaimed the intention of this
country's citizens to cast off foreign bonds and
govern themselves. The paper set forth a concept
of liberty and respect for human dignity that
forever will stand as Man's noblest cry that he
be allowed to determine his own destiny.
But beyond this, the Declaration of Independence is a work of literary genuis:
"When in the course of human events .... We
hold these truths to be self-evident .... that all
men are created equal. ... with certain inalienable
rights .... life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness .... government .... governs from the
consent of the governed .... "
This is writing. Simple, direct, forceful. In
an era of the flowery phrase, the studied art of
eloquence, the patriots assembled at Philadelphia
Dr. and Mrs. R. B. Cuthbert of Canastota, N.Y., announcing the engagement of their daughter Frances to Charles L. Hulin, son of Mrs.
Alta Hulin of Lake, Mich. Guests were Mr. and Mrs . Phillip C. Elliott
of Buffalo, Mrs. R. B. Cuthbert, Sr., of Canastota, Harvey Clause of
Plainfield, N.J ., Mrs . R. E. Bolen, also of Plainfield, and Chris Lund
and Ross Reed of Evanston.

July 4, 1776, somehow strove to make themselves
understood in plain language - and in so doing
conceived a sacred thing.
We think they'd take a dim view of some of
bombast that fills the air every Fourth of July.
Carl Adam, the former ace United Press newsman, reports that one of his greatest ambitions
with the UP was never realized. That was to
engineer the transfer of a byline writer from
Milwaukee to cover sports for the wire service
in the Chicago area. The writer's name: Hale
Champion.
Adam, who lives in Morton Grove and is
employed by Standard Oil now, says he and
other UP-ers used to take considerable pride in
the fact th~t a gent named John Barrow was
their Chicago livestock expert. And Barrow, he
says, was preceded by a writer named Oats.
Personally, we lean toward the incongrous
in our byline preferences. For years the Associated Press carried- somewhat fretfully, we
imagine - the sports byline of one "Finis Mothershead."

Sorry, But
The Villager regrets that , because of the
Fourth of July holiday, this issue has been
limited in size, thus making it necessary for us
to eliminate or sharply edit some news items
submitted by our friends.
Like other businesses, we like to give our
employes some respite from day-to-day work
routine when the occasion arises, and we can't
think of a better occasion than the Fourth of
July.
But don't go away. We' 11 be back with bigger
and better issues, and all the news first.

Priest's Plea Produces Pup;
Painful Rabies Shots Unlikely
An announcement by The
Rev. L. J . Flynn of St. Joan
of Arc Catholic Church set off
a chain reaction that probably
will spare a three-year-old
Skokie boy a lot of pain.
The youngster, Bruce
Phinips, son of Mr. and Mrs.
S.R. Phillips , 9106 Kilpatrick,
was bitten by a black and
white terrier on June 21 in
Central Park.
His parents, fearing the dog
might be rabid, had launched
a frantic search for the animal.
Numerous neighbors and organizations , including 100 Skokie
Little Leaguers, had scoured
the village for the dog and its
owners.
Bruce was facing a painful
series of rabies injections
unless the dog could be found
and pronounced free of the
disease.
The hunt turned up nothing.
The parents appealed to various
ministers , asking them to make
an announcement about the
search at their Sunday .services.
Father Flynn was one of
those who complied . One of
the families who heard the announcement had such a dog.
They called the Phillipses,
then brought their dog over and
Mrs. Phillips, who had witnessed the biting, identified
him.
The owners, who have asked
that their name be withheld,
have placed the dog in an
Evanston veterinarian's kennel, where he is under
observation for a possible
rabies condition.
However, the dog has had
rabies shots and is not believed
to be diseased.
Phillips and his wife, who
are non-Catholic, say they have
decided on expressing their
gratitude in a concrete way.
They and several other
members of their family plan a
sizeable donation to St. Joan
of Arc Church.

There will be all kinds of freedoms celebrated
on July 4. We offer prayers of gratitude for freedom from want, from illness, from anxieties, from
intolerance, from bigotry, from persecution.
But the greatest freedom that should be known
to all man,kind and is felt by so few, is freedom
from fraud,
We once read a play in our high school days,
entitled, we believe, "Masks." in it, the hero
wore a number of facial disguises, each one
adaptable to a mood or place.
When in the company of those members known
as "pillars of the church," the gentleman wore
a mask that was almost angelic. fl e had another
"face" when dealing with business men, another
disguise that he used with his wife and children,
and many others masks that he donned to meet
an occasion.
His wife, like Lot's wife, was curious and
often questioned him about his many changes
and asked to be shown what lay beneath the
final or last mask.
This request would strike terror into the man's
heart and he warned his wife never to try to
lift his "masks" when he was asleep.
In true wifely fashion, she proceeded to ignore
his admonishments and one night, started to rip
off the facial coverings.
As she started to tear the last mask from his
face she emitted a scream - for underneath all
those layers of personality and behaviour, wasnothing.
Most of us have quite a kinship with the man
in the story. We have one face that we wear to
club meetings and with others in our own social
sphere; we put on another "face" when with
husband or wife and family, and don still another
for those with whom we are employed.
After a while, it gets to be a bit difficult
determining just which one of us is the "real"
one and which the mask. Perhaps it is best
that we don't try to penetrate too deeply, for we
might find that after we've shed all the disguises,
we migh t discover there is only - nothing.

Receives Funds
The Orchard School in Skokie
will be one of the many recipients of funJs from a recent
benefit sponsored by the North
Shore League for Exceptional
Children.
The school will use its check
for recreation equipment.
Since its inception in 1946,
the Morton Grove Bo a rd of
Health has been carrying on a
program of education on good
health and sanitation.
In 1950, the board was instrumerrtal in having the Retail
Food Purveyor's Ordinanc e
amended, which made it necessary for every place of business
handling or serving food or
beverages to have all employees submit to an annual medical
examination , including a TB
chest X-ray.
Before a license is issued
to any new establishme nt, an
inspection is made, and every
employee is re<juired to have a
properly f i 11 e d certificate of
physical examination before
the Board of Health grants
approval.
In keeping with this health
policy, a TB X-ray Mobile Unit
will be stationed in front of
Dahm's Department Store, Austin
and Dempster St., on July 14
and 15. Anyone over the age
of 15 can avail himself of a
free chest X-ray.
The unit will be available on
Monday, from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m.,
and on Tuesday, from 12 noon
to 7 p.m.
Mrs. Helen Nordin, RN, and
Mrs. Delfont Fallbl}cher, RN,
will be in charge of the unit,
with the assistance of Mrs.
James Emmett, of the Morton
Grove Woman's Club, and Mrs.
Frank Schneider, of St. Martha's
Altar and Rosary Society, together with volunteer s from
their groups.

Banlier's Passion
by BETTY NEFF
A Skokie man whose abiding passion is America and its history has turned his place of
business into a patriotic museum.
He is Sidney L. DeLove of 7056 Lavergne,
president of Cook County Federal Savings. The
company, at 2720 Devon avenue in Chicago, is
housed in a replica of Philadelphia's Independence Hall. The white-colonnaded brick building
was designed and built by DeLove to provide a
suitable setting for the impressive exhibits with
which he has filled it.
Most prominent among the displays is a
fabulous, irreplaceable collection of guns which
played a part in America's growth. The 571-gun
collection, insured for tl,100,000, is rated as
one of the finest in the United States-not only
for its extensiveness, but because the quality
and condition of the guns make it so.
For there are some beauties. It took DeLove
30 years to assemble the collection, which he
amassed with the objective of owning truly
representative American guns - guns which tell
the stoty of this nation.
"These guns have played as big a part in
our countty' s histoty as any inanimate objects,
if not the biggest," DeLove said.
Contents of the collection include many
martial items, but the display is not limited to
firearms used by American armed forces. For
instance, there are 37 examples of the Derringer
pistol, of the approximate size and shape of the
wicked little gun used by John Wilkes Boo th
to assassinate Abraham Lincoln.
Shades of Dan'I Boone
There also is a smoothbore Brown Bess flintlock musket that might have seen service before
the · Revolutionary war, and a slim flin.tlock
Kentucky rifle, such as Daniel Boone carried.
The brass patchbox has been polished bright,
but years ago when the lives of a frontier family
may have depended on it the brasswork was
stained dark lest it reflect light and catch the
eye of a hostile savage.
There also is a heavy whaling gun, thick in
the barrel for throwing a harpoon. It dates from
the days when American sailors embarked on
whaling voyages that lasted as much as three
years out of sight of land.
Of course,. the collection includes many
weapons which tell the story of armed conflicts
Banker Sidney L. De Love in his office at Independence I/all. Part of his fabulous
collection of historic guns can be seen in glass cases behind him.
in which America was involved. DeLove's guns
are the most comprehensive Revolutionary and
Civil War collection in the Middle West.
Figuring largely in the collection are the guns
of Sam Colt, including several versions of the
1860.44 caliber Army revolver, a major handgun
used by both North and South during the Civil
War. Of possibly equal importance was the Navy
model Colt- an octagon barreled . 36 caliber
six-shooter which served as a model for what a
revolver should look like.
DeLove has a Colt Dragoon of a rare type.
Although the gun itself is a standard specimen,
it has a detachable shoulder stock that hooks
on to convert the revolver into a rifle. One of
his Navy Colts has a compartment in its stock
for holding liquid - presumably it was designed
for water, but DeLove suspects it was used
more frequently for carrying a ration of grog.
caused by the black powder then in use. It had
a cylinder u hich not only rotated but also moved
fore and aft when the trigger was pulled. \lhen
the cylinder was pushed forward, the chamber
covered the end of the barrel and the connection
was sealed against loss of pouer- theoretically
a good idea, but in practice unsuccessful bec~use
the heavy smoke created by the black powder
fouled up the Savage as it did other contemporary
guns.
Typical of the weapons in the union armories
at the start of the war were DeLove' s several
fiintlock U.S. Martial pistols, including the 1813
Army pistol a~d the 1826 Navy pistol, both
made by Simeon North, first official pistol maker
to the U.S. government who supplied the army
with regulation firearms from 1799 to 1851.
Rare Pocket Models
Ranged against the Yankees were some unusual
guns, and DeLove has examples of these as
well. A huge nine-shot LeMat "grapeshot" revolver, .a handgun with a shotgun barrel beneath
the regular revolver barrel, was made in France
for the South. Another rare Southern revolver is
a Griswold & Grier, made at Griswoldvillr,
Georgia and showing crude hand-filing and rough
workmanship which characterized many Southern
guns made in haste. DeLove has examples of
some of the many varieties of hand-made revolvers turned out in plantation blacksmith shops
all over the deep South during the war years.
DeLove' s collection also boasts several
pocket model Colts. One is in its original case
complete with ivory grips, and another is the
short-barreled Wells-Fargo model, used by guards
and express carriers.
A second major type of handgun used in the
Civil War was the Remington, which was superior
to the Colt in many ways, chiefly because of
simplified design. Other popular guns of the
period were the Starr single and double action
revolvers, the Whitney revolver and the Savage
revolver. DeLove has specimens of all of them.
The Savage was designed to eliminate fouling

draw his particular wrath.
"What's a Buntline?" he snorted. "It's just
rot. Television can take an idiot and make a
hero of him - it idolizes something that isn't
worthy of it and that isn't even true."
Children visit DeLove' s museum and ask to
see a Buntline, which saddens the collector.
"I wouldn't even put one in my morgue, where
I put all the junk," he said.
(DeLove has a number of non-historic guns
which have been donated to him which he doesn't
display, but keeps in his " Morgue" to satisfy
visitors' curiosity .)
For his collection, he is more interested in
the model of the gun, its condition, and the role
that model played in our country's history than
in who owned it - although he does have a gun
once presented to Jefferson Davis and another
given to Ulysse s S. Grant.
How does a man amass so imposing and singleminded a tr~asure trove?
"You start, and before long you get to be
known and you meet others who collect guns."
DeLove said. "You begin with junk and oddities, and you learn-your taste improves as
your information grows. It's only seldom that
you make a real find, although we chase it all
the time.
"There are thousands of gun collectors, and
they bold shows, fo rm clubs and make trades.
There are several national magazines and books
devoted to gun collecting. All the historic guns
are registered - they have num bers and they all

�Chapt er VIII of Niles Towns hip Histor y:
by BERTHA M. ROSCHE
[
The fue of 1910 was hardly a candle's flicker
to the excitemen t a dozen years later. "THE
FIRE" consumed barely two busine·ss blocks.
"THE BOOM" consumed most of Niles Center.
NILES CENTER
STORY OF THE GREAT
EXPAN~ONNORTHWARD
So shouted "The Economis t" of November 10,
1920, in letters two inches high across its front
page. This was "a weekly financial, commercia l,
and real estate newspape r'' published in Chicago.
Under the above caption followed in bold type:
"EXTENS ION OF THE ELEVATE D TO
NILES CENTER AND CONSTRU CTION OF
THE CHICAGO , NOR TH SHORE AND
NORTHER N RAILWAY TO WAUKEGAN
RESULT IN UNPRECE DENTED ACTIVITY
IN AFFECTE D COMMUNITIES.
"GREATE ST DEVELOP MENT AND EXPANSION MOVEMENT IN THE HISTORY
OF CHICAGO IS PRESAG ED IN CONNECTION WITH PROGRA M OF THE
INSULL INTEREST S.
"INVESTO RS PAYING $5000 PER ACRE
FOR ATTRACT IVE HOMES!
"Chicago has not in a long time experienced a boom anything like the present
movement now developin g in the northern
part of Cook County, following the news of
the constructi on of the Chicago, North
Shore and Northern Railway's line, beginning
at the intersectio n of the Chicago and North
Western Elevated at Howard Avenue, thence
west to Niles Center."
Chicago Commerce of April 4, 1925, telling
the story with less gusto · and more attention to
literary style, begins:
"For nearly sev~nty years Niles Center
drowsed and dozed in the shade of the litle
grove where Lincoln, Oakton, and Carpenter
Road intersect, content to be a country
cross-road with two trains to the city a
day -some days.
"Now the whole atmos Jiiere of the village
is changed, electrified , thrilled at the sight
of L cars."
The writer's patronizin g manner is belatedly
typical of the "hick-che wing-a-str aw" attitude
of the big city press during the early part of the
century - an attitude which changed tune with
the extension of rural delivery and the resulting
new market for subscripti ons.
First New 'L' Extension
There had been no new L extension since
America's entrance into the First World War.
Within the next eight years Chicago's population
made such rapid growth that by 1923 it would
require the addition of the equivalen t of ten
square blocks annually to provide for the increase. The cities along the lake were likewise
filling up. The only northern outlet for overflow
was the Skokie Valley. The L branch to Dempster and the electric railway would open up this
area.
From the coming of the Milwaukee Road to
Morton Grove in 1872 the h i s tor y of public
transporta tion in our township would make a
chapter by itself. There was no transporta tion
to Morton Grove to meet the train.
Niles Center people walked the mile and a
half to the depot and did not consider it•martyrdom.
Some did it regularly and, returning home in the
early darkness of the winter evenings, ca"ied a
lantern to light their paths.
The North Western branch came through Tessville to Niles Center in 1911. From about that
time until the coming of the L, there was one
attempt after another to organize a street railway, or interurban , or bus route to connect the
township villages with Chicago.
Three times supposedl y watertight plans died
a-homing.
One was the extension of the Lincoln A venue
street car line from the Bowmanvi lle corner
(Lincoln, Lawrence and Western) through Tessville, and Niles Center to Morton Grove. All
paper work was done, the spade work ready to
start, and the line was to be in operation by
January 1918. It must have been a World War I
casualty. A line was granted right-of-w ay on
Oakton from the east to west limits of Niles
Center, and at the same time another from
HoV"ard north and west through the township.
The legal work for both was finished by 1916,
but these, likewise, fell by the wayside.
Region Remote
With transporta tion, and somewhat off the
beaten lines of travel, the region was felt to be
remote. To Chicagoan s, even of Rogers Park,
the township seemed much farthe~ than just
"over the line." Because of that the promoters
pointed out that the L would open up country
which would be nearer the Loop than North
Evanston, the shore towns, or even many points
of Chicago.
In the Chicago Evening Post of May 23, 1925,
one W.C. Jenkins wrote an article on "The
Skokie Region of Tomorrow - a Prophecy. '' He
said that in winter this new area was cut off
from cold lake winds; that many North Shore
residents ha-d found these winds so disagreeab le
that they were giving up their lovely shore
home s and moving farther west. (The man who
dreamed that one up hadn't crossed the open
spaces past the Oakton L and North Western
stations two or four times a day for fourteen
winters!) As a further incentive he predicted
curving streets and private courts as "being
more attractive than a rectangula r system."
He made one ultimately correct prophecy that the population would grow at three times
the rate of growth in the city.
The pages of The Economis t and Chicago
Commerce are peppered with dollar signs as they
report fabulous speculatio n.
"An operator has just closed the purchase
of seventy acres half a mile from the rightof-way for $210,000, or $3000 an acre. One
operator bought ten acres on Main Street
near the Chicago, North Shore and Northern
three months ago for $25,000; he sold one
Skokie, waiting for the boom: an occasiona l dwelling dotting
the prairie which trains periodical ly breezed through.

"Kenneth C. Brown & Co. have a beautiful piece of frontage on the north side of
Dempster Street from Niles Center Road to
the Chicago, North Shore and Northern rightof-way, of about 1400 feet of frontage,
which is being sold at from $150 to $300 a
front foot. They opened the subdivision a
week ago and sold 400 feet of frontage the
first day."
(This is the quarter mile to be seen looking east
from the Bronx Building, and "THE VILLAGER"
of April 24, on page 20, has an excellent photo
of it, as it was then.)
"45 acres at the intersection of Howard,
Lincoln, and Cicero have been purchased
by George F. Nixon & Co. for subdivision
purposes. It is admirably located for development, and from a residential viewpoint
could not be more attractive, as it is on the
edge of a beautiful strip of the forest preserve, heavily wooded."
(However, it was cut off from actual contact
with the forest preserve by the already granted
right-of-way. These acres are now the campus
of Niles Township High School.)
"Edward and Maurice Aaron have acquired
from Arthur Salinger & Co. the 125 x 96
northwest corner of Howard and Dodge for
$30,000 - just north of the projected L
extension.
"Les Perron has purchased the southeast
comer of Main and Gross Point Road for
$20,000."
"Many Niles Center lots have reached
the stage where the boom is booming fastthat is, they have reached the resale stage.
A buyer buys; he holds his lot a month or
two; and then he sells. And he makes
money. - • - William C. Galitz, president of
the Niles Center State Bank, pointed to a
comer lot, 75 x 12 5 feet, in a choice location - the corner of Lincoln and Main
Street. 'That lot,' he said, 'sold for $3200
two and a half years ago. It was resold
eighteen months ago for just about $10,000.
Then six months later it was sold again
fur $20,000, a bit more than double. Now
it's on sale for $45,000.'
"At first the average price for small
residence lots 35 x 125, was about $800.
They sold fast. Now the same ones resold,
or new ones on sale for the first time, are
going like hot cakes for $1350."
And, finally:
"One can readily see what the new line
(Chi., N .S. & M.) means to this community;
it will mean new life, much construction,
new business center5, new picturesque
residential communities, all of which are
only awaiting the spark of transportation
to bring forth a beautiful new city."
But the glowing prediction flared up, sputtered
and went out. Even while it was being written
the event that caused the prophecy's failure had
already passed into history. For , a thousan<;I
miles from the scene, in Wall Street, the stock
market had broken. Unknown to the luckless
final buyers , the Great Depression was on .
'Booming Fast'
Eyewitness Picture
These are only samples from pages and pages
dizzy with fi~uresl Just one more:
picture. Coming to Niles Center in the late
summer of 1937, the author spent many Sunday
afternoons roaming the streets to learn the layout of the town she was to serve as librarian .
Even a stranger could read in the very pavements
the story of boom and bust. There lay the
streets, criss-crossing the wide-open prairie in
neat rectangles - with grass growing up through
the cracked asphalt! The curbs and sewers and
walks were in, but the streets were silent. Over
the empty prairie, with views of a mile in any
direction, here and there rose a lone apartment
house. It was customary to walk in the streets,
since there was no traffic, for the sidewalks
were heaved by the frost and the broken squares
of cement tilted cra .,. i ly. On Oakton, from Long
Avenue west to Ausun, even an active five-yearold by my side gave up the perilous pleasure of
scaling the miniature mountains and sliding
down the opposite slopes.
But in the spring abandoned orchards blossomed; and in June the prairie was beautiful with
wild roses and bluebells, and later with Queen
Anne's Lace. In summer the birds sang a varied
concert; all day the plovers cried their shrill
"kill-deer" where Hines' Lumber Yard is now;
and in the morning and evening the prairie
chicken called his three plaintive minor notes,
and the partridge drummed.
Tessville farmers and Morton folk and those
at Niles must have watched pea•green with envy
while their neighboring villager~ sold their farms
for sums that occasionally reached six figures.
But, if they missed the boom, they were spared
the collapse. Twenty-five years more and another
world war were to .pass before they had their
tum, and then it would be in a real estate development that had firm foundation and stability
-not the mirage of speculation.

�A DAY IN THE WOODS
by LORENE WENNERSTROM
Whenever the woods I walk among
Are very Green and very young,
With Leaves a-twinkle on every tree,
The heart begins to dance in me,
And my feet to caper from tree to tree
Over the sun-patched greenery.
-Rachel Field
Chow down! A holiday in the woods is a safe,
pleasant way to spend the Fourth of July. But
be sure you bring plenty of f0od. Here youngsters
who accompanied writer Lorene Wennerstrom
on such a trip dig in at one of the many picnic
tables provided by the forest preserve officials.
And with these "capering feet" we set out
for a day in the woods. We picked one of the
nearby forest preserves -St. Paul Woods in
Morton Grove.
There are 43,000 acres that b"elong to all the
people of Cook County. Eighty per cent of this
property is native in character and sixty per
cent is wooded. These preserves are visited by
some 15 million persons annually, with an average summer attendance of 500,000 on seventeen
Sundays and holidays. Our entourage consisted
of three neighbor children and our own two.
There are 180 major picnic areas in the county
- plenty of them throughout Niles Township.
The only essential part of a picnic is food,
and if you don't care to bother with a fire on one
of the iron grates provided at the preserves, you
can enjoy a packed lunch and plenty of refreshing beverage. We picked a nice bench-table,
spread our plastic cloth on top and all pitched
in and enjoyed, "A jug of ade, a sandwich loaf,
and thee beside me in the wilderness."
After we put away the empty lunch basket, we
started for the path along the river bank. There
are 87 miles of stream shore and many inland
marshes and ponds. The fields under foot were
blanketed with fragrant wild violets and, overhead, the crab apple blossoms were bursting in
all their glory. (The public is asked to "love
'em, and leave 'em.")
We walked through many doors
Between the trunks of trees,
And some were wide, and some were high,
And some were quite a sque~ze.
(Editor's note: One of the most enjoyable holi•
day recreations is a day 'away from it all' in
the woods. What's available to Niles Township
residents? We asked writer Lorene Wennerstrom
to take her children and their pals on such a
jaunt and to give us her impressions of what
a similar excursion on the Fourth of July might
provide for our readers. This is her account.)

After lunch, you might risk getting your feet wet
to take a gander at a big old catfish lazying m
shallow river water, as our gang does here.
• • • •
We followed the trail along the North Branch
of the Chicago River for about a mile and, if we
wished, could have traveled the 150 miles of
forest preserve trails that have been established
for hikers, bicyclists" and horseback riders. We
peeked in gopher holes, climbed huge old trees,
tossed twigs into the water and then ran down
to the rapids to watch them dam up. At many
points in the river, there are rocks in the water
where horses cross, so we gingerly trotted
across, too, and made it with only one soaker.
On the bridal path, our son Jackie warned,
"Don't walk in the-maneuver!"
We went from room to room
With ceilings green and tall,
And looked around, But no one seemed
To live inside at all.

water and smile prettily for the camera. Left

Barry Schoeller and Paul Fischer caught a
big old lazy catfish by the tail and pleaded,
"Oh please,. can't we take him home?" It was
tough to convince them that the only thing we'd
get from taking it home, was a smelly car, and
besides, he probably was somebody's Grandpa.
We watched a log floating in the river and
proudly perched on top was a sandpiper. We saw
many of these long-legged fellows plus wood
peckers, cardinals, blue jays, pheasant, robins
and many others that would 'delight a'll bird
watchers. The woods have been and are being

Little things like the
contradiction between these
two signs bother us.
There's a discrepancy of
20,300 that should be accounted
for somehow.
The one showing Skokie' s.
population as 23,700 is on
Oakton St. at the western edge
of the village.
The other, bearing notice
that the village's population
is 44,000, is on Skokie Blvd.
at the village's southern limits.
We suppose the first is
based on the 1950 U.S. census
and the second on the special
census taken by the village
in 1956.
All this will be purely
academic, of course, when
village clerk John Seeley gets
the results of another special
nose count, being taken under
U.S. Census Bureau auspices
this month. We're betting the
figure will be close to 55,000.
At any rate, we hope that
when the new signs are painted
and put up they'll all come
out even.
And now, lest the good
citizens of Morton Grove start
poking fun at Skokie, we want
to call attention to a little
discrepancy existing in that
village.
Somebody forgot the "p" in
Dempster on several street
signs in the western part of
Morton Grove. The Skokie sign
painters got it right (other
photo).
�WHEREAS,
it is a commonly known fact that every red,blooded American
loves to take advantage of an automobile dealer at least once a year, and
WHERE AS,
in order to accommodate this desire we are selling 1957
Fords as low as $1295 in choice of colors and body types , and
WHEREAS,
in order to further help this desire along , we are offering
discounts up to $1000 on 1958 demonstrators and company cars , and
WHEREAS, in
order to feed this desire a little more we are giving year,
end prices on all new cars , and
WHEREAS,
in order to give this desire one last little push , we have
jammed our used,car lot with the best buys possible;
NOW THEREFORE, let it be
proclaimed that the month of July be
known as "TAKE-ADVANTAGE,OF-FERGUS-FORD" month , and that the people
of this fair township be allowed to come in and take advantage of us by buying all
of our new cars , used cars, demonstrators and company cars, at ridiculously low
prices , thereby making everyone deliriously happy.
IN WITNESS THEREOF,
we pledge to the public the best
deal you have ever received on an automobile in the last 10 years . Let us rejoice!
