SCHOOL BOARD SEEKS NEW PLAN
High Court Upholds Fisher;
Village-or-City Vote Coming
The Illinois Supreme Court
Tuesday upheld a Cook County
Circuit Court order compelling
the village of Skokie to hold
an election on the question of
incorporation as a city.
Village officials, who previously had held petitions
seeking a vote on the question
were invalid, said at Tuesday
night's board meeting they
probably would not carry the
matter to the U.S. Supreme
Court.
If they do not, then the
election presumably will be
held in 30 to 60 days. This is
the period required by statute
after petitions have been filed.
The petitions were filed Aug.
4 but the matter has been tied
up in courts ever since . The
village fathers said they did not
contain one-eighth of the signatures of persons who had
actually voted in the last
village election , which was
their interpretation of the
wording of the statute covering
such petitions and referendums.
Proponents of a city form of
government argued that the

pet1t10ns need contain only
the signatures of an eighth of
the persons eligiblt. to vote.
Judge Harry Fisher of Circuit
Court, and now the Supreme
Court, agreed with this stand.
Io the referendum, residents
of Skokie will decide whether
they want to continue the present village manager form of
government- six trustees and
a village president elected at
large - or switch to a city plan:
a mayor elected at large and
16 aldermen elected by wards ,
teo from each.
The Supreme Court decision
said, in part:
"We think the statute as a
whole , when read in the light
of its purpose, evidences an
intentiqn that any person who
has the right to vote likewise
has the right to sign the
pet1t1on; that the phrase in
dispute does not concern the
qualification of the individual
signator but the number of
petitioners required to initiate
the proceedings; and that a
petition which is signed by
electors equaling in number
not less than one eighth of the
number voting at the last
preceding election satisfies
the requirements of the section .... ''

Morton Grove Posts
Dr. John H. Speer resigned
as chairman of the Morton Grove
Plan Commission and Zoning
Board of Appeals at a meeting
of the Village Board on Tuesday, Dec. 16.
In a letter to the board explaining his reasons for this
move, Dr. Speer stated:
"On Aug. 11, I mailed to
each of you an informal notice
of my intent to resign as chairman, and member· of the Plan
Commission and Zoning Board
of Appeals. At that time, I
indicated that I hoped to be
able to continue until the passage of the new proposed zoning
ordinance before making my
resignation effective.
' ' At the h e a r in g on this
on Dec. 1, it became clearly
apparent that final passage of
this ordinance cannot take
place as soon as I had hoped.
The reasons for this are well
known and I agree that they are
sufficient and in the best pub- ·
lie interest. At the same time,
the con flict of my other commitments has not decreased.
In view of this, I have reluctantly concluded that I cannot
continue until such time that
work on the new zoning ordinance can be properly concluded, and t hereby submit my
resignation to be effective at
your earliest convenience but
not later than Jan. 31, 1959."

to be philosophical about the
result. After the off i c i a 1
canvass of the vote Monday
night, board president William
Wise said "we'll simply have
to find something chat the
people will accept."
But first, he said, the board
will attempt to determine - by
a survey , or some ocher form
of sampling - jus.t what the
voters are prepared to spend,
and what they're prepared to
spend it for.
Krier said in a statement
following the election that
''it is obvious chat the entire
program was completely out
of step with the thinking of the
people of Niles Township"
and that ''it is now up to the
board to come forth with a
program more in keeping with
the current facts of economic
life."

The Illinois Supreme Court has upheld Circuit Court Judge
Harry Fisher's order directing an election in Skokie on the city
form of government. The village fathers should get it over with
as soon as possible.
...
We are confident that the voters do not want a change in
their form of government. For various reasons , which will be
covered in later issues , a ward plan is not suitable for Skokie;
indeed, we question its suitability for an y municipality .
But this is beside the point. There are certain groups in
Skokie who in their zeal to oust the present village administration will continue to tinker indiscriminatel y with anything, with
any' form of government, if this will help them.
A year and a· half ago, they went all out for a village manager.
We have a village manager system, but they're still not satisfied.
Now they want to burden taxpayers with a cumbersome, expensive, politics-breedi ng system that can only serve to divide
the village into eight little factional communities-w ithin-a-community which would continually vie with one another for preferential treatment.
Skokie is working out its problems. It admittedly has many governmental, commercial, religious. But gradually it is attaining
a semblance of community character - "togetherness ," if you
wish.
To upset this trend by installing a form of government which
inspires di vision would be a tragedy.
The School Bond Vote
Result of Saturday's school bond referendum can be interpreted
many ways, but there is one way it shouldn't be interpreted:
that residents of Niles Township do not favor good educational
programs for their children.
Because they rejected this one does not mean they will reject
all. Without arguing the merits of the one that failed, we noted
that even its most bitter opponents conceded the necessity for
some expansion, some spending.
It is now up to the school board to return to the people with
a plan that can be accepted. After all, it does no good to offer
Utopia, if people don't want to pay for it. So undoubtedly the
board must compromise, at least immediately, between what the
people say they can afford and what the boa:rd would like to
provide.
This the board gives indication it intends to do. We're sure a
second, more modest proposal will receive an attentive ear.
Our Ears Still Ringin g
The Villager switchboard was swamped with calls Saturday
night as Niles Township res~dents sought immediate word on
the result of the high school bond referendum.
A notice had been placed in last week's issue stating that
this service would be available. Three persons were assigned to
answer the phones. However, calls were so numerous that
eventually seven persons were manning phones.
Villager operators also reported a steady stream of calls on
Sunday.
In addition, the Villager's editor and publisher, Tom Branagan,
handled hourly radio broadcasts of the progress of the vote
count Saturday night. The broadcasts were offered as a public
service in co-operation with FM station WSEL.
Branagan and co-publisher Myron Greisdorf announced later
that they were "gra~ified for the interest showh not only in the
election but in the service offered.'' They said the same service
would be provided for similar events in the future.

Funeral services for George
A. Ringler, 69, of 7939 Kolmar
Ave., Skokie, were held Tuesday, Dec. 16, in Ha b en's

Center Rd.
'
. Ringler had been prominent
in Republican politics for many
years, getting his early training
in Chicago's 43rd Ward.
As president of the 43rd
Ward's ~ooster Club, one of the
outstanding Republican organizations in the country with
over 8,000 members, Ringler
knew what it was to work with
people in all walks of life. On
the east end of the 43rd were
the Potter Palmers, the Swifts,
the Cranes, and the home of
Cardinal Mundelein. On the
west end of this cosmopolitan
area was the German settlement
and in the center was LaSall;
St., with its transients.
~i?gler . reigned as a strong
political figure during the heydays of Mayor Thompson and
Gov. Small. He became closely
associated with Titus Haffa
and Arthur F. Albert during
their campaigns.
Although he was a candidate
for Sheriff of Cook County at
one time, Ringler withdrew
from the race in order to work
behind the scenes of his party.
Always an ardent Republican
Ringler saw illany transition~
take place on the political
scene from f-Iooverto Roosevelt.
When Calvin Coolidge signed
the papers opening the St.
Lawrence Seaway, Ringler was
one of the group that attended
the signing of this important
event. Coolidge would not turn
over the pen he used for the
signing since, he claimed it
'
w~s government property, so
Ringler went out and purchased
a pen of his own, which the
president used and returned to
him.
During the 1952 presidential
campaign, it was Ringler who
brought Richard Nixon and
other
prominent Republican
leaders to Skokie' s VFW hali
for an .appearance.

"is not an expression of dissatisfaction or of any political

When John Speer and his

did so only on the promise that
Finke, if elected, would enact

The Trojan cagers jumped
off to a quick lead and were

In the second or sudden

to play to wrap up the game.

center Ron 1-lenrici, totaling
1 ~ points. Following were Ron

7 each. Top scorer for the

We wonder what makes the medical, dental
and bar associations so critical of any of their
members receiving any kind of publicity. The
criticism is usually hidden under the guise of
"ethics."
Can a physician,• dentist or attorney help it
if he ha- God given talents separate and apart
s
from his profession? Is it so wrong if these
are recognized?
If a physician becomes a force in the world
of literature, or a dentist gives of his artistic
creativity to the world, or an attorney forms a
group to help married couples stay that way, is
this to be construed as un-ethical?
It's a little difficult to divorce these talents
from a man's profession when giving due credit
to them.

When Mrs. James Woodward, publicity chairman of St. Joan of Arc Women's Cluh hirf'cl a
cab to deliver copy to us so we'd get it on time,
she luckily got a driver who knows his way

Tex Lynn, Skokie Flash Cab driver, cab 127,
came directly to our new home at 3425 Dempster
St., even though the envelope handed him was
addressed to Main St.
Besides our complete devotion to , Captain
Kangaroo, we have found Totem Club at 4: 30
on Channel 11 (WTTW) to be one of the finest
television shows for the youngsters. Master of
ceremonies, Joe Kelly, is a warm, likeable
personality. He meets the children on a level
of intelligence and understanding without "talking down" to them as so many children's shows
do.
Don't rant and rave about the bad quality of
television shows - just lead your youngsters to
those shows that are really worth while.
Remember when tights were something you
wore with your leotards at ballet school? Today,
they've become part of the everyday wardrobe.
They're warm, look good under a skirt, give
a female an illusion of being "sexy," and save
on the hosiery bill.
"Come down and see me sometimes," In the
lovely building now housing The Villager, the
production and editorial departments have been
relegated to the "lower level," or as we used
to say in our day, the basement.
Barring the absence of a ping pong table, a
television set, a bar, and bamboo furniture, our
"recreation or family room" is really great. It's
what you call "coming down in the world" in
style.
Virginal white, the fallen snow ..... Blanketing
city's street ..... Reflecting the sun in glimmering light ..... Causing heaven and earth to
meet ..... How deceptive its softness, its sheer
purity ... .. As it lures everyone with its charms
. .... For just like a love that has gone away .....
It cannot be held in your arms ..... So like a
memory, lovely and sweet ..... It melts into
Spring's flowing stream ..... But you know that
it will be back soon again .. ... As you once
more with your love share a dream.

There was a quiet expectancy
in the ballroom of the Sovereign
Hotel the evening of Saturday,
Oct. 25. Hushed whispering
commented on the loveliness
of the bridal canopy o f all

greeted one anothe1 joyously.
Suddenly all was still. Then
the violins began their songs
of Io v e and romance. The
only illumination in the room
were the spots that paved a
path down the 1 on g, white
runner leading up to the canopy.
The magnificient voice of
Murray Lind was heard as he
made his way down the aisle,
his white robes flowing. Cantor
Lind, God's servant, preparing
to join two lives, two hearts,
two souls, who henceforth
would be as one.
The~ Terry Craft, the junior
bridesmaid, and Bobby Foreman,
youngest brother of the bridegroom came down the aisle.
Other bridesmaids, Sandy Liss,
Merle Druck, and Mrs. Sandra
Gamer, were joined by ushers
Jerry Sen escu, brother of the
bride, Marv Cohen, Alan
Wertheimer, and Marshal Craft.
Peter Foreman walked in
and took his place near the
dais, acting as best man for
his brother, the bridegroom.
Mrs. Sue Holzman played an

A Queen Ann crown of pearls
and sequins held a two tier

Joseph Senescu held tightly
to his daughter's arm that was
slipped through his. There was
a look of pride on his face.
Waiting on the dais for her
daughter to join her was Mrs.
Senescu, unshed tears fringing
her lashes.
Slowly father and daughter
walked toward the bridegroom,
and with love and solemnity,
he placed her hand into the
hand of the, man who would
now be all things to his daughter.
Together they made their way
to the platform to stand under
the canopy.
The bride's mother was
charming in her blue Chantilly
lace sheath, a Christian Dior
creation. The attractive blond
mother of the bridegroom wore
a blue chiffon sheath. Both
mothers wore orchid corsages.
Adding to the blue and white
color scheme were the pale
blue silk organza shirtwaist
frocks of the bridesmaids.
They carried blue fans covered
with an array of white roses.
Then the meaningful ceremony, the sip of wine, th e
breaking of the glass (symbolic
that henceforth there would
be a wonderful life without
rough edges), the kiss - and
arm and arm, husband and
wife - Dolores and Joel Foreman - walked back down the
aisle - forever together as one.

'A BIT OF ITALY'
by BETTY NEFF
Think of orange trees, a sunny grape arbor,
bread sticks and Chianti and operatic airs. Where
are you?
Ahhhh, caught you! You're in Morton Grove-in
a bit of Italy transplanted to that suburb by Ray
Caruso, no kin to the late Enrico but just as
devQut a lover of good music, particularly grand
opera.
Caruso has been successful in combining the
art of the restaurateur with that of the musician,
and still numbers among his clientele many who
were his patrons when he launched his first
restaurant venture, the Singers' Rendezvous,
on Chicago's Rush street in 1945.
With his attractive biond wife Dorothy and a
troupe of talented singers and instrumentalist s,
Caruso puts on a nightly concert of well-known
airs from grand opera, light opera, musical comedy
and the popular idiom at "The Carusos' "
restaurant at 9110 Waukegan road.
"We will even sing 'Vol are' upon request,"
Caruso laughed, ''although I think it's the
craziest thing - but we refuse to sing rock and
roll here.''
Passion For Puccini
Ray Caruso is a native-born American with
an Italian accent. That seeming paradox results
from the fact that his family returned to its home
village of Torre del Largo, Italy, when Ray was
five and he remained abroad until he returned
alone to America at the age of 18.
Significantly, Torre del Lago also was the
home of the great Italian composer, Giacomo
Puccini, who wrote such melodic operas as
"Madame Butterfly" and "La Boheme."
Puccini is Caruso's idol "because he has
written the greatest music in the world," the
dark-eyed tenor ,asserts. And one of the most
charming features of Caruso's restaurant is a
simulated courtyard with a grape arbor and
wrought-iron trellised balcony, lighted by a
skylight and dubbed the "Villa Giacomo Puccini."
Photographs of the composer and his home in
Torre del Lago decorate the walls.
The cozy, en closed courtyard - giving the
illusion of an open-air dining room - was added
to the existing building by Caruso when he
established his Morton Grove restaurant· in 1955
after 10 years in two different Rush street
locations.
f-le did much of the construction work hims elf
because as a youth he had learned his father's
trade of bricklaying in addition to inheriting his
mother's musical talent. (In Italy each state has
kay aruso doing a napkin trick as part of the
entertainment at his restaurant. Note the moustache - he's clean-shaven nou·adays.
its own official opera company and Ray's mother
frequently sang leading roles with one of these
groups.)
As a youth, he studied voice in Pis a and
joined the Florentine Opera Comp ;in y as a
dramatic tenor at the age of 15.
"That's not so young," he countered when
an interviewer expressed surprise. "There, many
youngsters start out in the chorus when they
are nine or 10 years old.''
Back to America
In 19V~ Caruso felt a yen to return to "my
. native land" and arrived in time to get a job
at the Italian Village at the Chicago World's
Fair. After the fair closed he sang for club daces
around Chicago and when Ric Riccardo opened
his Rush street restaurant in 19~5 the young
Caruso signed on as a singer. He gained his
experience in the food-purveying line during the
more than six years he remained at Riccardo's.
At the same time he worked daytimes at his
bricklayer's trade with the Fuller Construction
Company of Chicago.
In 1945 Caruso was ready to go into business
for himself. He opened his Singers' Rendezvous
and almost immediately reaped a harvest of
publicity. A number of famed Italian opera singers
were stranded in Chicago because of a misunderstanding with the Metropolitan Opera company,
brought about by the hard feelings generated by
World War II. Caruso . hired them to appear at
his restaurant and they performed there for
several weeks.
Newspapers headlined tl 2 story. The re taurant
caught on.
After about three yea-s, though, Caruso sold
his interest in the Rendezvous because of differences with his partner. He set up shop on
his own at another Rush street location, calling
his new spot ''Caruso's.''
Among the many talented singers who applied
for jobs was a pretty blonde lyric soprano from
Tennessee who had sung with the American Opera
company in Chicago. Duets between her and
Caruso became popular with the patrons and after

about a year "I decided to marry her because
it would be cheaper that way," Caruso joked . .
With the new restaurant firmly established,
the Carusos decided to branch out. Leaving
"Caruso's'' in the hands of a manager, they
went to Hollywood, Florida, and launched
''Caruso's Theater Restaurant'' , patterned after
the Chicago venture.
Although the Florida spot became popular,
Ca:uso sold it after a year because the Chicago
enterprise was in trouble without the personalitie s
which had been its trademark.
After Caruso aod his wife returned, the Rush
street operation revived- "But the street wasn't
like it used to be 15 or 20 years ago," Caruso
said.
"Many of my special customers had moved into
the suburbs, and I decided to follow them,'' he
commented.

Caruso's charming and talented wife, Dorothy,
uhom he says he married after hiring her as a
singer "because it was cheaper that way." This
remark obviously was made with tongue in cheek.
One of the many autographed pictures of cele•
brities which adorn the walls of Caruso's restaurant. From left are Arthur Bud11ey, baritone star
of the Metropolitan Opera, Doro. by Caruso, and
Raymond Burr, actor who has attained recent TV
fame as Pe rry Mason in the new who •done · it
series.
He acquired the Morton Grove property three
years ago. It had been an old blacksmith's shop
in the early days of the village, and when workmen dug down to erect the sign they found many
horseshoes and hammers. The chimney for the
old forge still is an integral part of the building.
Pleasant traditions established by the Carusos
have drawn a large following of "regulars."
Among the nicer customs is that of serving
dessert "on the house" as a windup for each
meal. A tiered tray of Ttalian pastries and fresh
fruit is always offered a diner because Caruso
believes a meal should be leisurely and gracious
in the ontinental manner and the light touch of
fruit, so popular in Europe, provides a fitting

Just how did it all start? Why isn't it ''Scotty "
T(rier, or Tom Branaga n, or Bob Elson? Or why
not Sheryl Leonard ? Well, listen my children and
you shall hear, of the midnigh t ride of the man
full of cheer. This is the story of "Good Saint
Nick."
There actually was a real St. Nichol as way
back in the fourth century. He was born of very
wealthy parents at Patara, a seaport in Asia
Minor, and when his parents died during an
epidemi c, they left all of their loot to little Nick.
1 he young Nichola s dedicat ed his life to God's
service, packed up his duds, and moved to Myra.
This was the largest city in the provinc e, not a
gal. There, after the death of their bishop,
member s of the council had a big hassle trying
to choose a success or. Final!)', in a dream, the
oldest official was told to stand next day at the
cathedr al door and select as the new · bishop the
first man named icholas who entered. IVell, we
don't have to hit you over the head with a fender
because you already know what comes next. Our
hero was the first man named Nichola s (whoeve r

refused the position , but he was overrule d.
History shows that Nichola s was extreme ly
popular as bishop, and several stories of his
ability to perform miracle s have come down to
us. His prayers once saved a ship that seemed
to be doomed , and another time he capture d a
man who had dismem bered three little boys and
placed their bodies in casks of brine. He forced
the man to confess ; made the sign of the cross
over the casks; prayed ferventl y to God; and
found the three boys restored to life. It is not
the least surprisi ng that the good saint became
the patron of children .
The favorite story of St. Nick's deeds concerned the three daughte rs of a wealthy and
titled gentlem an. When he lost his fortune there
was no money for dowries , and let's face it, if
a gal didn't bring along a little loot in those
days she was up the creek as far as a merger
was concern ed. Nichola s heard of the situatio n
and decided to remedy it. When the oldest girl
was of marryin g age, he went to their home one
night and secretly threw · a bag of gold through
the window . Where be got it history doesn't say.
He repeate d the kind deed when the second girl
was wed, and when the third one was grown,
Papa decided to find out who was leaving the
happy stuff. He caught the bishop in the act of
heaving the bag (of moneyf through the window,
and being an old blabber- mouth, he told everyon e
about it.
One version of this story is that one of
bags of money fell into a stocking hung near

Birthdays and anniversaries are always
festively observed, u·ith a drink brought to the

The performers, billed as "The Caruso Operatic

Riffner, coloratura soprano, from Chicago; Elsa
Pomes, soprano, Uruguay; Marvin Berkman,
guitarist, Cleveland, and Maxim Olefsky, concert
pianist, Russia. Olefsky is the father of Paul
Olefsky, noted cellist.
The clientele has included many well-known
personalities. When a grand opera troupe plays
Chicago many of the stars repair to Caruso's

regular artists in entertaining the customers.
The list includes Richard Tucker, Ruggiero

Numbers most frequently requested by patrons
include "One Fine Day" from Madame Butterfly,
"Musetta' s Waltz" and "The Tiny Hand Is
Frozen,'' both from, La Boheme (Puccini again);
songs from The Student Prince, the prologue to
Pagliacci, and medleys from Oklahoma, My Fair

The Carusos make their home in the restaurant

Dorothy and Ray Caruso as they perform together in one of their frequent duets.
Redora (pronounced Ray-Dora). They feel their
move to the suburbs was sound and well-timed,
and only this month they, began serving luncheon
in addition to dinner.
"I have here atmosphere to please the eye,
music to please the ear and food to please the
palate," Caruso stated. "The combination has
proved very popular so far.
"The restaurant can seat 200, and on Saturday
nights we often have to turn away nearly 300
people."
Asked if he thought a suburban location was
preferable to one in Chicago's night-life belt,
Caruso laughed:
''We're here to stay, I call this 'Caruso's last
stand.'"

SPECIAL CLASSES FOR
SPECIAL CHILDREN
by BETTY NEFF
Two special students at Nilehi West study
geography with the aid o(a globe.
A new program of education for children with
physical and mild mental handicaps is under
way in public schools of Niles Township.
By next fall, between nine and 10 classrooms,
representing all IO school districts in the township, are expected to be in operation - serving
150 to 200 children who need special methods
or materials in order to get an education.
The township-wide program had its inception
a year ago last April when the IO township
boards of education met to discuss common
problems and to organize the Niles Township
Council of School Boards.
A survey of the number and type o fhandicapped
children in the township was authorized. It
showed that the IO districts - nine elementary
and one high sch o o 1- serve a population of
85,000 in which 17,000 children are attending
public sch o o 1 s. Of that student population,
approximately 160 children were estimated to
be in need of special facilities.
As a result of the survey, the new Counciland each participating school board - voted to
organize a township Department of Special
Education.
Plans were made to provide two elementary

classes now are being held at ilehi West; at

Additional surveys and testing were authorized

Hire First Director
In August, Miss Dorothy Patch of Clarinda,
Iowa, holder of a master's degree in education
and a specialist in dealing with hmdicapped
pupils, was named director of the Niles Township Department of Special Education.
A full speech correction, serving 75 to 100
pupils, is in effect in all 10 districts this fall
in addition to the three classes now serving 29
mentally handicapped . The latter program does
not overlap with that of Orchard school, which
serves only the ''trainable'' mentally handicapped ,
or severely retarded. The "educable" mentally
handicapped , in contrast, are pupils who have
academic difficulties but are emotionally and
socially normal and may be expected to become
independent, selfsupporti ng adults. The high
school program for these pupils, for instance,
will provide a bridge between school and the
community, with seniors working at jobs during
their last year.
Special help for maladjusted pupils also is
available this fall in the persons of four visiting
counselors, two serving high school pupils and
two in elementary districts.

Two Grove school pupils practice writing on the
blackboard. Though slow in school work, they
have the potential of becoming independent adults.
Until this fall, Niles cownship had a limited
program, mostly speech therapy, to help handicapped pupils - but it never had a director nor
more than two classrooms for this purpose.
Miss Patch said surveys now under way will
determine what additional fir. cilities will be added
first. Hard of hearing, blind and crippled children now go to special class es outside Niles
Township, mostly in Evanston or Chicago.
''ff we have · enough pupils with any of these
special problems, l hope a limited progrum can
be begun for them next fall," she stated. "We

definitely could launch a program for the hard
of hearing if the need were shown to be there.
An orthopedic program takes much more planning
and you need a lot of space for physical therapy,
occupational therapy, facilities for rest, special
lunch ... ooms and the like. Halls have to be supplied with handrails and ramps and non-skid wax
for wheel chairs, and that's expensive.
"We feel that the people in this area would
not be satisfied with a haphazard program, and
we think it would either have to be good or not
be attempted at all."
Another program which might be set up would
provide a teacher on call for home instruction
for children temporarily handicapped by illness
or injury, she stated.
Reading competence is stressed in this class
at ilehi West.

Two N ilehi pupils examine art work of their

"The whole special education program started
haphazardly and without direction and we have
to get chat all straightened out. But in another
year, it should be much better. We'll know what
our needs are and we' 11 do our best to fill them.''
Of the high school classes for mentally handicapped, Miss Patch declared: "I'm really thrilled
about that program because the children have
such pleasant surroundings and are going out
and caking pare of their w;rk with the regular
pupils. Counselors are helping work with the
children and their families, aid there is so much
hope there.

The feeling that your nerves are being shattered

complaints and the psychiatrist can give the
reason behind the trouble, it is the patient who

and pain producing nervous tension.
Recovery, Inc. is a group designed to help
nerv~us and former mental patients help themselves. Working on the same theory as does
Alcoholics Anonymous, except with a different
problem, the members of the group meet together
to discuss their problems frankly among them selves.
It is one thing to discuss a problem with
someone who will give well meaning although
often useless advice. It is another to discuss a
problem with someone who might have had the

"Do you realize what you might have done?"
Maybe this man was worried about his business. Maybe he was watching the scenery instead of the road
ahead. He didn't know he was speeding ... he didn't
see that stop sign a mile back!
Last year, nearly 40,000 Americans died in traffic
accidents. In too many of these tragedies, the drivers
who caused them didn't realize they were at fault-or
how - until it was too late!
Just think what could have happened if the officer
hadn't stopped this driver in time!
Help stop senseless killing on our highways. Drive safely yourself.
Insist on strict law enforcement for your own protection.
Work actively with others to support your local Safety Council.
Remember-where traffic laws are strictly enforced, deaths go down.

�Let us help make little dreams come true. Here at Jack 'n Jill we've made
a speciality of stocking just the right toys to fill your Christmas lists.

7J~ Sw...
Looking forward:
At Christmastime, every girl wants her past
forgotten and her present remembered .
Our youngsters who are on the Santa Claus
borderline claim that this year they' re going to
find out for sure. Christmas Eve they're going
to hang fish hooks in the chimney.

My uncle and his family had an electric Christ·
mas last year. Little brother got an electric
train, baby sister got an electric toy iron, my
aunt got an electric washing machine, and uncle
got the electric chair.

around with a bag all night and not get talked
about.

...and ...
I want to thank the Villager for the wonderful
Christmas gift. We received a beautiful 114
piece after-dinner set - a box of toothpicks .
As I watch our four children looking forward
to the rapidly approaching Christmas, I think
back to my childhood, for I, too, was one of four
youngsters. And strangely enough, we were two
boys and two girls, as is my family.
1 can't recall too clearly those Christmases
in Glen Ellyn, although the season of 1928
stands out because on Christmas Day I was
running across the dining room with a toy airplane (a model of Lindy's plane)when I stumbled
and rammed the propellor into my skull just
above the eye. This was followed by a quick
trip to the Elmhurst Hospital. Little did I know
then that years later I would make many trips to
that same hospital, and return each time with a
babe in arms.
Christmas 1933 stands out in my memory because even at the height of the depression, the
man with the beard came calling, and I still
have the American Flyer standard gauge model
of the Olympian in our family railroad museum.
Christmas 1935 was a rough one. A few months
earlier we had been involved in a serious auto·
mobile accident in Ohio, and even though Mom
and Dad were still hospitalized, somehow the
old gent with the beard made it. High School
years in the late thirties saw the annual coming
of Christmas starting to mean more than material
blessings. I was growing up, and with this maturity, just having the family near was the most
important thing at Christmastime.
Working at the post office one Christmas, and
wrapping gifts another year in the basement of
a loop department store helped me come of age
and appreciate Christmas even more. Now I was
going to college and working and learning what
a sacrifice my parents had made over the years especially those lean years of the depression.
Open every night except
Saturday til 9 p.m.
Then came the war, and Christmas away
from home for the first time. Christmas Church
services helped unite us with the folks at home,
and during these years we prayed the Christmas
theme year round - "Peace on Earth, Goodwill
Toward Men." Then suddenly, the war ended.
And now, unbelievably, it's 1958.

And when you look back over the years, only
the most important things stand out. Your weding in 1947 to the most wo·nderful girl in the
world. And because of that you're seeing Christmas of your childhood all over again through
the eyes of little children - YOUR own four
children.

'Villager' Will Give Vote Results
By Telephone and Broadcast
In what appeared to be a
decisive development, the
mayors of Morton Grove, Lincolnwood and
iles
today
joined Democratic committeeman ~!artin " co tty" T(rier in
opposition to the proposed
$8,625,000 bond issue for . iles
Township High chool expansion.
The mayors, joined by Skokie
village trustees, said in a
joint statement that the high
school board should utilize
land it already owns to build
additions to the existing two
high school buildings.
~leantime, advocates of the
plan, which hubs around immediate establishment of a
third township high school
on the Evanston Golf Club
grounds in Skokie, were pushing
a house-co-house
drive for
votes.
The issue will be decided
Saturday in a referendum expected to attract a near-record
number of voters. Sixteen polling places will be open from
12 noon until 7 p.m.
There are three propositions
on the ballot:
The first proposal is to spend
a ppr ox i m a t e l y 6½ million
dollars to acquire a 31.4 acre
tract of the Evanston Golf Club
to build a third high school.
The second is for spending
a mi 11 ion d o 11 a rs for the
acquisition of about 55 acres
of land between Harlem Ave.
and t 'aukegan Rd. in Morton
Grove, for a possible future
high school site.
The third request is for 1 1/8
million dollars for addjtions to
the two present high school
buildings.
L nofficial results are expected to be knoun later that
night. \s a public service,
Villager staffers uill man the
polling places. Citizens interested in hou t_ e vote came
h
out may call the Villager office,
or: 6-3535, anytime up to midnight Saturday night or through out the day Sunday. Special
operators uill be on duty to
provide the information.
In addition, the Villager has
arranged to broadcast the
results over FM radio station
USEL, 104.3 on your PM dial,
at 8:58 p.m., 9:58 p.m. and
10:58 p.m. Saturday night.
Editor and publisher Tom
Branagan will oversee the creu
ofvote-countersandu;il/ h-:tndle
the radio broadcasts.
Among those who, like Krier,
took a strong stand against
the high school board's plan
were Mayors Henry Proesel of
Lincolnwood,
Frank
Stankowicz of Niles and John
Koller of 1orton Grove.
Village president Ambrose
Reiter of Skokie did not make
his views known, but others in
the village administration declared themselves against the
proposal.
Skokie trustees Miles T.
Babb, Raymond V. Krier, Jum
Smith,
\~'illiam Krewer and
~y Ivester J. Reese sig.ned a
statement of opposition, along
with Proesel, tankowicz and
Koller. The elected officials
said:
"Recognizing our great responsibility to the people of
our respective communities we
are compelled co issue the
following statement:
"In the best interests of
our communities and knowing
the already heavy financial
burdens being borne by our
residents, we are opposed to
the referendum being voted on
Dec. 13.
"We are not opposed to the
construction of n e c es s a r y
classroom facilities but we do
believe that the two existing
high schools can be expanded
to sufficient classrooms to
take care of increased enrollments. With the acquisition of
a small additional area at
Lincoln, Howard and Cicero
avenues there will be adequate
room to construct additional
classrooms at
ilehi East

Continue Eckhardt
Picketing Case
For the first time since 1955,
Carl Eckhardt will start a New
Year without a union picketing
his gas station at Austin and
Lincoln in Morton Grove.
This seemed assured when
Circuit Judge John T. Dempsey
continued to January 14 hearing
on a union motion to life his
July 31 injunction prohibiting
picket lines at the filling
station. The picketing, carried
on for three years, was ruled
illegal by the judge.
Postal Schedule
The
Skokie
and Morton
Grove post offices will deliver
gift parcels on Christmas day
this year, but money order and
and postal savings transactions will not be available
on Sundays, on Saturdays after
1, nor weekdays after 5.
In order to facilitate stamp
purchases and mailing of greeting cards and parcels the post
offices will remain open weekdays, Dec. 12 through 19 from
8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sun days, Dec. 14 and 21 from
10:00 a.m. to 3 p.m.
With the conviction of John
O'Connell on misconduct
charges,
Skokie's
police
magistrate chair is empty - and
likely to remain so .
O'Connell pleaded guilty to
the charges ~londay before
Circuit Judge Joseph A. Pope.
They involved his refusing to
sign a waiver of immunity
before a grand jury and failure
to keep or produce proper
records.
O'Connell also was charged
with embezzlement of $8,423
in fees. He has returned the
money to the state and this
charge was nolle prossed by
Judge Pope.
O'Connell then was fined
$100 and the judge signed an
order removing him from office.
Charges
of
malfeasance
again st •Sidney God ell, Niles
Township Justice of the Peace,
were continued for three weeks.
There
was
considerable
sentiment among
Skokie
trustees to eliminate the post
of Police Magistrate. Some of
them said privately that since
O'Connell hadn't been handling
any village cases for two
years, and no state cases
since his indictment several
weeks ago, there appeared to
be no need for the position.

County Changes Speed Limits
On Several Town ship Streets
Four changes in speed
limits on Church street in the
2. '.36 miles stretch from Austin
to Crawford , in Morton Grove
and Skokie, is provided among
new limits on 52 roads totaling
142 miles under jurisdiction
of the county highway department, fixed recently by the
Cook county board.
Final approval by the state
highway department , as required under the 1957 law
giving county boards power
to fix speed limits, is expected
any day.
This will probably permit
posting of the signs, 12 to a
mile, before the end of December, according to Edward
traffic
country
Whiston,
engineer.
So far the country's experience has been that more speed
limits are going up than down
under the revision, according

Editorial
Unfair Shake ?
Dear Sir:
We wish to thank The Villager for editor i a 11 y reviewing
the currently pending question before Mayor Ambrose Reiter "Should a liquor license be issued to a bowling alley so close
to the Sharp Corner School. The granting of which has been
actively objected to by every religious, educational and lay
leader in our area. ''
Although we are diametrically opposed to the conclusion
reached by the Villager, we welcome an open airing of the
question. We reaffirm our stand that this was a "zoning blight"
put forth by a "Harris Chicago Syndicate" against" the will of
the people" and that we have implored Mayor Reiter to stanfl
forth as the spokesman of the will of the people and to "rise
above the profiteers and the politicians, to protect the people."
The basic fallacy in the Villager's editorial "A Fair Shake"
of November 20, 1958, is in stating that "The question of whether
or not the bowling alley should have been constructed is not at
issue. It is an accomplished fact" and thus the owners have
every right to expect a liquor license. The cart and the horse
are all tangled up in this form of reasoning. The exact point is
that our community originally and continually has fought the
bowling alley for the reason that it would be a congregating place,
unnaturally close to a school, catering to children, where liquor
would be served, subjecting the children to all the unfavorable
atmosphere, examples and dangers of a liquor serving establishment. The proximity to a school and the ease of access to the
facilities by children is the issue. There is no God- given right
to businessmen who wish to make a profit from our people to
subject our communiry to such an unwanted and undesirable
" sidelight" of their business.
Northwest Property Owners' Assn.
Bob Martin, President
(Editor's note: The Villager was attempting to inject some
reason into an issue in which Mr. Martin and others are relying
mainly on a "save our children" theme. This is a rallying cry
that excites emotions, arousing the protective instinct in all
of us. But in this case what are we goi~g to save our children
from? Knowledge that the serving of liquor is legal and thqt
people even drink the stuff? Practically every home in Niles
Township is a "liquor serving establishment." If you concede
that serving liquor in the presence of children is harmful, then
we venture to say that the lives of virtually all youngsters in
the township already are hopelessly blighted.
(We are not making a case for or a g a inst Prohibition; we
assume that issue was decided a long time ago.
(One of the directors of the Northwest Property Owners' Assn.,
of which Mr. Martin is president, is Mr. Kenneth Littrell. His
name appeared on the masthead of the Nor'wester, which violently
opposed, first the erection of the new bowling alley, and then
granting it a liquor license. Mr. Littrell is a member of the Niles
Township High School board and currently is campaigning
vigorously for passage of an SB,625,000 bond referendum. If it
passes, Mr. Littrell and other members of the board will purchase
property on Waukegan Road in Morton Grove and erect thereon
another high school. This property is directly adjoining the big
new Classic bowling lanes where liquor is being served, and
will continue to be served. We submit that youngsters of high
school age probably are more susceptible than grade schoolers
to any "dangers" inherent in exposure to liquor traffic. We don't
see how Mr. Littrell, as a member of the high school board,
can campaign for the voluntary placement of a school smack dab
up against one "liquor serving establishment" and, as an officer
of a property owners' organization, be against a similar situation
for a grade school. The only di/ference is that whereas the proposed
Waukegan Rd. school grounds is right next to the Classir hnwl.
the Sharp Corner school is a good 1,000 feet (that's roughly three
blocks) from the other bowling lanes.
(At any rate, if the supervision and guidance we give our young·
sters is so weak that the sight of adults drinking in a bowling
alley will corrflpt them, then certainly the fault lies not with the
bowling lanes, or the people who run them, or Mayor Reiter. We
assume we'd be belaboring the obvious to point out where the
fault would lie.)

Morton Grove Days Group
Bids for $750,000 Center
The Morton Grove Days Com·
mittee has released the results of a survey which
indicates that 75 percent of
residents
village's
the
"definitely favor" a community
center and swimming pool.
Consequently, the committee
said, it will seek a referendum
on a $750,000 bond issue to
provide these facilities.
President Allen Goldberg
distributed copies of a study
prepared by Gould, Gleiss &
Benn, Inc., the research firm
which handled the survey, at
a meeting of delegates Monday
night.
The survey, which last summer sampled one of every eight
families in Morton Grove, was
ordered by the Days Committee
to determine how best to spend
the money it makes in its annual summer celebration, and
to determine whether residents
might favor a bond issue to
recreational

At the present time, there

PROFIT DOWN
The ~lorton Grove Days
realized a
Commit t e e
$10,154. 99 profit on its fourday "Western Days" celebration at Linne Woods last
August.
A financial report on the
celebration was given at a
committee meeting Monday
night.
The profit figure was
down about $6,000 from that
of the 1957 celebration.
President Allen Goldberg
explained that more than
half of the loss was due to
the elimination of any gambling devices th is year. Other
drops were in the ad book
and in the automobile raffle.
swimming pool in Morton Grove.
In addition to these two items,
the survey showed residents
also would favor certain improvements at parks already in
operation.
Delegates from the various
Morton Grove civic, governmental and fraternal organizations who attended ~fonday
night's meeting agreed to return to their respective groups
for a determination of whether
each will help sponsor such a
program.
Th ere are 39 of th e s e
agencies. Another meeting of
the committee is planned for
late January to determine how
many of the organizations will
actively help put the referendum before voters.
Goldberg said that, if the
program is approved, it would
mean an average tax increase
of $10 or $11 a year for homeowners.
First, petitions must be
circulated and, after signatures
~re obtained, they must be
submitted to the Park District
board. A referendum on the
program then would follow.
Pertinent results of the
survey included:
1. Eighty-two per cent of the
residents of Morton Grove have
children of high school age or
younger.
2. Seventy-six per cent felt
that additional facilities were
needed.
3. Sixty-six per cent stated
they would gladly pay additional taxes for a community center
and would vote accordingly in
a bond issue.
4. Eighty-six per cent indicated a swimming pool was
desirable with 75 . per cent
feeling very strongly in favor
of this project. Seventy per
cent stated they would vote
"Yes" on a bond issue for a
pool.

a good hospital to our community," said Mrs. Santucci
in making the gift to Judson
B. Branch, Allstate Insurance
company president, aid a member of' the Board of Trustees
of the hospital.
"Because the creation of
a living memorial in a hospital
is a worthy act, many opportunities to so designate gifts
are being offered in the present
building fund campaign for
$4,250,000," said Mr. Branch
as he accepted the gift from
Mrs. Santucci.

Sgt. Kruger of the Skokie
Police Department spoke
recently to the children of the
lower division at Cleveland
School on the subject of safety.
Special emphasis was placed
by the sergeant on bicycle
safety. The police department
official stated that a high
percentage of accidents are
attributable to the student's
failure to follow safety rules
when riding a bicycle.
A safety program to be
carried through both the upper
and lower divisions of Cleveland School has been set up by
a committee composed of Mrs.
Bernard Mick, chairman of
Niles TownshipSafety Council,
Mrs. Leo Killian, principal of
lower division, and Mrs. J. R.
Olson, PTA chairman.
The program will include
several phases of safety such
as safety to and from school,
bicycle safety at Cleveland
School and safety at home with
special thought given to holiday trees and decorations.
Appropriate films, class discussions, creative projects,
and hand out material are being
used to carry out the theme.
The important subject of
relationship with strangers was
discussed. Pamplets entitled
"This is For You" and an
effective film was used in
connection with the discussions .

Mr. and Mrs . Herman Hennig
They all gathered - children,
four grandchildren, a greatgrandchild, and a multitude
of friends, on Nov. 7, in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Herman
Hennig, 5249 George St., to
help the couple celebrate their
golden wedding anniversary.
As they did 50 years ago
when they cut their wedding
cake, the Hennigs held hands
cutting their anniversary cake.
A new school now stands
on the site at Galitz and
Lincoln Aves., where stood
the little St. Paul's Lutheran
Church. It was here, in 1908,
that the Hennigs first exchanged
vows.
Today, Herman Hennig is
sexton of the new St. Paul's
Lutheran Church on Ni I es
Center Rd., a position of honor
he has held since 1926.
The ,-J.ennigs started their
married l i f e by farming at
Church St. and Gross Point
Rd., until 1925 when they
moved to their present home
on George St.
The charming couple have
reason to be proud o f their
children. Two of their sons
are members of the Skokie
Police
Department - Captain
Louis G., and Lt. Art. Another
son, Edmund H., is an employee with the Skokie Water
Dept. Other children are
daughters Mrs. Richard Endres,
5124 Dobson St., Skokie, and
Mrs. Lila Gillis, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
However, no amount of pride
the H en n i gs have in their
children can equal the love
and pride their children feel
for them.
SKOKIE HOME BUREAU
The Skokie Unit of Home
Bureau will meet on Monday,
Dec. 15 at 7:_45 p.m. in the

HEAVENLY PACKAGE
A wonderful Heaven sent
pre-holiday gift arrived on Dec.
1, at 12:07 a.m. for Edward
and Marlyn Farber, 5131 Davis
St., Skokie.
J anye Elizabeth was born
in St. Elizabeth's Hospital,
Chicago, and weighed 8 pounds,
5 ounces.
Equally
deli g h ted are
maternal grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. Arthur Stoneberg.
"It's been a year since you've touched me!"
With these poetically touching words, one is
supposed to be lured to a movie now showing
in one of our theatres.
When we first heard the star's tragic voice
on the air, we thought perhaps she was suffering
from a highly contagious disease and her remarks
were to be the prelude to a commercial on some
medication.
There must be something radically wrong with
a woman who hasn't been touched in a year. We
suggest she go stand on a crowded bus or elevated
train.
Or- "The nightmare terror of the slithering
eye that unleashed agonizing horror on a screaming world!" Wow! This is supposed to create a
desire in us to see the movie?
The promotion to end movie promotions is the
one about the "blubbering, blabbering blob of
The Blob!" If they replaced the "B" with an
"S" they might give a more convincing idea of
wha the movie is about.
We are a great believer in promotion. However,
we don't believe in having our intellect insulted.
We don't know to what base instinct in us they
are appealing, but as far as we are concerned,
their words are more humorous than horrifying.
The day after the tragedy of last week's
heartbreaking school fire, it seemed to us that
more mothers could be seen with their arms about
their youngsters' shoulders, walking them to
school. It was a gesture as if to say-"There,
but for the grace of God-"
When the great Jewish philosopher Dr. Mordecai
M. Kaplan appeared before the Niles Township
Jewish Congregation, leaflets were distributed
in order to enable the over 1500 worshippers to
follow the service. On the front page were these
words:
"Before the service- if you must whisper,
whisper a prayer; if you musttalk, talk with God."
Mary Gillette certainly knows how to merchandise her products. She has one of those lovely
Magnus electric chord organs in her home. Then
she invites all the board members of the Skokie
Valley Business and Professional Women.
So what happens - they all scramble to play,
and they all decide that they must have one for
their home.
We can picture all of Mary's guests knocking
on the Gillette Music Shop's doors in Old Orchard
early the following morning.
An ideal holiday gift is one of those tape
recording gadgets that feeds the sub-conscious
mind while you're asleep. We would like one
with a tape that ~eps repeating, "It's good to
be poor ..... it's good to be poor ..... it's good
to be poor ..... "
You can have your night clubs . .... And your
galaxy of stars ..... Shoot a ship out into
orbit . .... Or plan a visit up to Mars . .... Even
take your movies . .... Or name studded TV
show ..... Run away to Florida . .... Or down
to Mexico ..... Just let me sprawl beside the
fireplace ..... While flames leap ecstatically.....
Lighting up the book I'm reading ..... This is
the life for me!

The group discussed the

issue for the high school. They
were unanimous in the need
for a continuing program of
adequate classroom space for
the young people of our community, but opposed the Dec.

that the proposed $8 million
expenditur e was excessive and
that individual members of the
group should oppose it.

1 he Villager recently received a copy of a
letter written by fJarold E. "Curly" llegelman,
president, of the Morton Grove Chamber of
Commerce, to i3asil II alters, executive editor
of the Chicago Daily '-Jews.
Mr. Degelmann has given such a spirited and
comprehensive assessment of the Morton Grove
situation that we have decided to reproduce it
in full. It follows:
Mr. Baiil \' alters, Exec. Editor
fhe Chicago Daily News
400 West Madison Street
Chicago, Illinois
THE REAL
MORTON GROVE
SPIRITED LETTER
TO AN EDITOR FROM
M. G. CHAMBER
Dear Mr. Walters:
Your atte~tion is directed to an article on
1->lorton Grove written by. John Drury which
appeared in the r~orth zone suburban section of
your newspaper.
The entire article gives a completely erroneous
and false impression of Morton Grove as to its
size, population, public facilities, etc. As a
historical piece of information the article is
fair, but evidently the reporters of the Daily
ews have not broadened their scope, as has
the Village of Morton Grove since 1950.
It is true the census of 1950 showed a
population of 3,926. However, the special
census of Morton Grove taken in January, 1958,
revealed a total of 16,643 residents and presently
it is estimated at 18,000 ..:.. not "more than 4,000"
as stated in the article. There are 4,515 homes
in the Village, which is known as the "Friendly
Village" due to the warmth and friendship
shown the new home-owners. This is a 450%
increase since 1950, while neighboring Skokie
has grown but 300%. Mention was made that our
growth had not been as fast as our neighboring
comm u n 1 t 1 es. True, our area is smaller,
approximately six square miles, but our growth
has been at a much more rapid pace. Despite
this the Village of Morton Grove has been able
to maintain an equitable balance between residences, business and industry.
GLENVIEW
Morton Grove "smoke-eaters" are strictly volun•
teer, but swing into high gear quickly and
efficiently when called upon.
An artificial kidney was loaded aboard a Navy
transport plane at Glenview air station for an
emergency flight to New Orleans recently.
Officials of Baxter Laboratories, Morton Grove,
asked the Navy to make the flight after receiving
the emergency request for the machine from a
New Orleans hospital.
And - Morton Grove is still growing, with a
total of 82 building permits issued during the
month of October, and 516 permits, covering all
types of buildings, issued since January 1, 1958.
Mention was made of the building of t]-)e railroad station by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul
II(_ Pacific Railroad, and the former Grove Pickle
Company. However, no mention at all was made
of the present industries that are located here.
There is a total of 45 industries located
within Morton Grove, and among these are some
of the most architecturally modern buildings and
up to date operations. To briefly illustrate this there is Baxter Laboratories, Inc. which recently
had one of their artificial kidneys flown by the
U.S. !.J'avy to New Orleans to save a man's life.
They are also well known for their manufacture
of parenteral fluids and the equipment for ad•
ministering them.
Bell & Gossett Co., manufacturers of "Hydro-
Flow" heating systems; Avon Products Company,
a showplace of e ff i c i en t production line
operations in the manufacture of cosmetics;
Cook Technological Center, composed of eight
buildings doing technical research and development in the field of aero-dynamics, nuclear
physics, electronics, etc.; H. M. Harper Co.,
one of the largest manufacturers of nuts and
bolts;Minneapolis-Honeywell Regulator Company,
engaged in the manufacture of pneumatic and
electrical commercial control systems, and many
other large firms representing nation-wide, and
world-wide operations have located in Morton
Grove. There is a total of 8,000 people employed
by industry in Morton Grove.
The article stated the leading edifices in the
Village numbered two - the Village Hall and the
Grove School. For your information, and others
who read the article, following is a listing of the
many types of public facilities in the Village.

The Chicago Daily News is familiar with our
efficient Volunteer Fire Department as evidenced
by the coverage given it in your article published
in the October 9th edition of the North Zone
section.
Six public, and tuo parochial schools with a
total registration of over . 4. 000 children . Among
these is Park View School, one of the most
modern grade schools in the area. Several of
the most modern grade schools in the area.
Several of these schools are planning further
additions to accommodate the increased
population.
Five churches and synagogues - with facilities
for properly serving the religious needs of the
Village's residents.
ine separate parks are maintained by the
t,lorton Grove Park District u:ith playground
equipment, drinking fountains, and planned year
'round activities for all age groups . 1 hey also
maintain an office with two full time specially
lrained and qualified people to plan and super•
vise recreation activities for the residents.
The Morton Grove public library is open daily
for the public's use. In October 1950, the library
had 4,425 volumes, 874 library card holders, and
a circulation that month of 772. October, 1958
figures show 11,307 volumes, 5,428 library card
holders and a monthly circulation of 7,165.
1 he Morton Grove Municipal Building, pictured
in connection with the article, will in a short
time be turned over to the Morton Grove Police
Department for their use. Police Chief t.1ilton
Scanlon has every right to be very proud of his
well organized and departmentalized force of 20
men, which op,e rate 3 squads and 2 motorcycles.
Thanks to their very effective work Morton Grove
does remain a quiet Village in regards to
vandalism, juvenile delinquency, robberies, auto
accidents, etc.
Morton Grove's Village offices will soon be
transferred accross the street to the newly
acquired building at the corner of Lincoln and
Callie. They too have grown through the years
from a one-man office, to a staff of 6 full time
employees to serve the public and keep proper
records .
In the early part of 1959 construction will
begin on a new 2 million gallon water reservoir
to insure sufficient water supply for the residents,
supplementing the 1 million gallon reservoir
completed less than four years ago.
This is the true representation of the public
edifices in Morton Grove.
Undoubtedly you will be interested to know
that the Illinois Bell Telephone Company is
constructing a new exchange building at 6801
Dempster Street to serve Morton Grove, with the
new exchange name of YO rktown 5, specifically
for Morton Grove users.
At Baxter Laboratories, the two workers on the
right are searching for light-colored impurities
before a dark screen, while the two on the left
scan the same bottles for dark-colored specks,
which a light screen would show up.
The commercial aspects have also broadened
their scope to a present total of 202 establishments located in the shopping districts along
Dempster Street, Waukegan Road, Lincoln Avenue
and Golf Road. Two of these areashave shopping
centers as well as the coverage along the length
of the streets. Actually, every product or service
desired is available locally. Recent sales tax
figures for the month of August, 1958, reflect a
total of over $5 million of sales taxable goods
sold during that month.
With the increase experienced in population,
naturally came the need for proper medical,
dental and professional centers, with a total of
28 professional people with offices located
lo ca 11 y to service Morton Grove's needs.
Although Morton Grove does not have a hospital
within its village limits, when all construction
is completed residents will find themselves
approximately equidistant between the Lutheran
General Hospital and the Skokie Valley
Community Hospital.
�29
Widespread use of the modern public library facilities is
evidenced by the increase in library cards from less than 1,000
in 1950 to more than 5,000 to date .
Expressway runs through Morton Grove, or a t
least through the extreme southeast corner of
the Village . The boundary to th e north is Golf
Road. The western boundary is not the Forest
Preserve District as s t ated. Forest Preserve
land runs obliquely through th e Village, with
approximately 50% of the Village west of it. The
western boundary is Washing ton St reet, 8200 West.
Almost every residential area has i t s homeowners 'association' and is extremely active in
community and civic affairs. The busin ess men,
realizing the importance of the cooperative
spirit, and strength through uni ty, are continually
building their Chamber of Commerce to promote
Morton Grove as the outstanding village in which

to live and make a living. The wonde rful
friendly atmosphere of a well-knit commun ity
has been maintained, BUT in a well-balanced
Village with all the conveniences of local shopping and a very clean industrial area.
Mr. Walters, on behalf of the businessmen ,
residents and industries, we respectfully reques t
your coope ra tion in putting this information
before your readers in its enti rety, to properly
inform them on Morton Grove and correct the
erroneous impressions in your article. Also , we
extend a cordial invitation to visit Morton Grov e
and see fo r yourself the things we have pointe d
out in this letter.
One more point mentioned in the article was
the boundaries. It is true that a portion of Edens

Why Buy A
Catalog Number?
LET'S FACE
FACTS!
This is the age of "Discount Buying"
Everyone has access to one or more of the so • called "Wholesale
catalogs." The only trouble is that you must know what you want
and then, after you get it, you must know HOW TO USE IT. No
POE'S CAMERA Co. buys as cheaply as anyone can. We have
a full selection for you to choose .from. We give you the service
and instruction the "discount or wholesale houses" cannot give.

-- --The new, modern Villager building at 3425 Demp•
ster St. Marquee-type sign in front will carry a
variety of important business announcements , as
well as public service messages.
To meet requirements of growth, the Villager,
after eight months of publication, has moved
from its old stand at 4846 ~Jain St. to 3425 Dempster St. in Skokie.
The move was accomplished a week ago Wednesday after last week's issue had been "put to
bed" and before production had begun on this
issue. The entire operation was transferred to
the new and larger quarters without "missing a
beat": production machines were installed
immediately and began pouring out copy for the
current Villager late Wednesday afternoon.
To accommodate the publication's large battery
of phones, Illinois Bell Telephone Co. linemen
worked around the clock under the direction of
Joseph Ramsey, manager of the Skokie office. As
a result, the Villager's switchboard and 25-phone
hookup, as well as an office intercom system,
were in operation the second the old office was
officially closed down.
The Villager's new headquarters, which hereafter will be known as the Villager Building,
formerly was occupied by Foremost Builders.

get the idea - we hope - if you refer to the

is considered a showplace among office buildings.
There are large offices extending over three
floors, each light and roomy and appointed
beautifully. Editorial, production, advertising
and executive departments occupy panelled
suites with the latest innovations in lighting and
acoustics. Thomas E. Br an a g an and Myron
Greisdorf, who share ownership in the Villager,
said in a st,.rement:
"We are extremely proud to announce acqui•
sition of our new headquarters and we invite our
friends and readers to visit us at any time.

Now, with only 34 issues behind us, we have

our subscribers and advertisers, we have ac•

"To those who have made this move possible our loyal subscribers and advertisers - we ex•
tend our humble gratitude, and offer the hope
that we will continue to merit their confidence."

by TOM BRANAGAN
The celebrated Nov. 29 old-car parade of
Skokie' s East Oakton merchants was run on a
dry track - but otherwise conditions were deplorable.
The temperatur e was near zero, and this circumstance turned the event into a sort-of man
vs machine affair. We are pleased to report that
the East Oaktoners came through nobly: at the
end, every last man was on his feet - numbed
feet, to be sure - while one of the ancient
vehicles pulled up at the seven-furl ong post.
Happily enough, this turned out to be in the
vicinity of both Breit' s and Rudd's service
stations, where prompt diagnosis disclosed an
asthmatic condition complicate d by a bad cold.
The patient is recovering .
This is not to be taken as a reflection on the
courage of the oldtime vehicles: forty gave notice
they would appear and 38 showed up. Considerin g
the forbidding nature of the weather, this was
a remarkable display of fortitude for fellows
45 years old, or so.
The parade began at Crawford Ave. and
Dempster St., and according to plan was to proceed leisurely west and south to Lincoln and
Oakton and then east to the Oakton and Kostner
finish line. An hour and a half was ·allotted for
th<! tour.
.-fowever, a general absence of insulation
(there were no heaters, of course) forced the
participan ts to toss aside the timetable. As a
result, hardy souls who ventured forth on foot in
the biting cold to witn1;ss the affair were astonished to see the venerable vehicles whizzing by
at a great clip, their heavily bundled occupants
hunched grim and stiff, intent only on survival,
while an unfortunat e Santa, exposed to the
elemeqts in an open-air touring car, scattered
goodies wildly from his sack in an effort to
deplete the supply before either mechanica l
calamity could strike or the race end.
Nearing the finish line, the straining, swaying
automobil es slid to a halt upon the command of
a Sun-Times photograph er who stood implacabl y
in the middle of east Oakton street and bade all
hands to line up for a picture. There was some
confusion at this point - that, or outright desertion - for a majority of the paraders seized
the opportunit y to unpry their grips on whatever
they · had been hanging onto and scurry to the
shelter of the Skokie Trust & Savings Bank and
other nearby havens.
Two of the real heroes of the parade were
Roy and George Strom, a father-son team of
excavating contractor s and old-car fanciers who
live in one of the western suburbs. They entered
two old-timers : a 1915 Cadillac and a 1927 truck.
In the Cadillac with them were several Skokie
officials, including village attorney William M.
(Tame Bill) Hennessy, who had the foresight
upon graduation from college to lay aside his
raccoon coat for just such an occasion.
The Stroms spent the rest of the afternoon
visiting with residents here and impressed all
with their conviviali ty and good will.
They sent the '27 truck home with one of their
drivers but, as nightfall approache d and the
temperatur e dropped even further, were seen to
be eying their open Cadillac with some misgivings. There was no question that a ride home
in th1: air conditione d patriarch would be a
hazardous venture.
Fortunatel y, the Strums are resourcefu l chaps.
Theywent over to PeterEpst een's place, plunked
down a S3,000 check and drove home in a 1959
Pontiac.

Most of us who are residents
and/ or property owners in Skokie,
moved here from Chicago, hoping
to escape from the overcrowded
conditions of living there, as well
as the burdens of over-taxation
and thought perhaps that in this
village community, we might find
an environment conduci-ve to good,
well ordered living, where we
could bring our children up proper·
ly, or finish out the remainder of
our lives with peace of mind, as
the case might be.
Now , we are faced with a situation where the Nile-Iii Board of
Education seek to impose upon
us their will, by telling us a
portion of the Evanston Golf Club
is the only site in Skokie on
which to build Nile-Hi No. 3 at a
cost of six and one•half million
dollars . This, in addition to their
ocher expansion program totals
eight and one-half million dollars!
Even in these days when figures
of millions and billions of dollars
are tossed around at random, eight
and one-half million dollars is a
lot of money! I, for one, am not
unmindful of the fact chat I will
be called upon to pay my full
share of this in taxes - and so
will every other property owner
in Skokie . Further, in my opinion,
chis is only the beginning- not
the end!

I have no doubt but what the
members of the Nile-Hi Board of
Education are sincere dedicated
men, in their opinion, feel they are
acting in the best interest of the
community with respect to the
educational needs of our children
now and for the future . Frequently,
however, those closest to a pro•
blem, in their zeal to do something
quickly, based on what they feel
pressing need, "oversell"
is
themselves in their desire "to
sell" an idea to others. It's a bit
like "not being able to see the
forest because of the rrees".
The reasons stated publicly by
the Nile-Hi Board of Education for
choosing Evanston Golf Club as
a site for Nile-Hi No . 3, do not
make sense to me. First, why
Evanston Golf Club? They say
geographical location, but Oliver
Sandquist, a former building com·
missioner of Skokie, whose past
experience should qualify him to
know the truth, as well as state
it, has publicly declared that the
site which they call "the City
Dump" is better suited for a
central location than the Evan·
scon Golf Club.
Why desecrate Evanston Golf
Club? Even in Chicago, public
officials seem to find virtue in
preserving places of beauty and
breaching space. Witness Edgewater Golf Club, beverly Hills
Counrry Club and even closer at
hand, Edgebrook Golf Course . If,
in the crowded condigion of Chicago Ii ving, it has been deemed

from
in the best public interest to
preserve these beauty spots, why
in Heaven's name do we here in
chis Village of Skokie, co which
we have escaped from Chicago
living conditions, now find ourselves confronted with chis in·
tolerable situation?
An exchange of letters between
Evanston Golf Club and the NileHi Board of Education on this
matter has been publicly printed.
The Club stated:
1. Evanston Golf Club is not
for sale.
neither made,
have
2. They
nor received any offer co sell.
3. They would resist any further
negotiations in the matter.
To chis Mr. Wi;; e, as President
of the Nile-Hi Board, replied in
part as follows - and I quote this:
"A formal offer, based upon expert
appraisals, will be made to the
Board of Directors of the Golf
Club for acceptance or rejection,
and, if, at that time, the acquisition cannot be amicably arrived
at, then the Board will immediately
acquire the property by condemna•
tion proceedings . "
From the above, it seems to
me chat the School Board is asking
us citizens co sign a blank check
to acquire a piece of property
from a seller who doesn't wish
to sell and who, failing in their
~ ttempt to buy, threaten co enforce
their mandate by condemnation
proceedings.
Quite frankly, since ocher sites
must be available in Skokie or
Niles Township where Nile-Hi
o . 3 could be built at less ccs c,
it seems to me that acquiring a
site on the Evanston Golf Club
ha, become almost a matter of
"personal challenge" to the members of the Board of Education.
I submit the face that the matter

is far too important to us to be
considered in such mt nner - parcicula rly, where we are asked to
"foot the bi 11."
I feel very strongly that Evanston
Golf Course, which has given the
pleasure of beauty since 1917
of those of us who don't play golf,
as well as cha; e who do, is fully
as important in City Planning as
parks, pools and other recreational
centers. Why destroy a landmark
of 41 years, when it is not necessary - and pay an exorbitant
price to do it?
I am for higher education - at
lower cost!!
Respectfully,
L. E . Hagenow
Skokie
Dear Sir:
I feel that it is time a mother
spa ks 'on the High School bond
issue. My children have been
attending Skokie schools for fifteen
years and my husband and I have
been members of the PT A and
served in various capacities with
chem throughout the years.
I am opposed to Mr. Krier' s
suggestion· to enlarge and crowd
3000 children into our present
High Schools. 1 chink the High
School Board's direction away
from large enrollments is right.
. We have just witnessed a tragedy
beyond comprehension where too
many children were crowded into
small as well as shamefully unsafe
quarters.
Since when, I would ask, have
our young fam1lies objected co
improved facilici'es for eduo tion?
The families . who ire settling
in Niles Township are doing so
primarily because of what our
community offers their children.
Our modern schools, our fine park
and recreational activities plus
the
wholesome atmosphere of
space, light, and clean air are
the attractions that have brought
and are still bringing them. Mr.
Krier mistakes himself as their
spokesman. He may speak for a
few of the "old guard" whose
THE VILLAGER
families being grown, no longer
need our schools - or for some of
those who prefer parochial schools
and so are unwilling to pay for
public facilities they do not use.
Mr. Weinbrechc objects to the
cost of physica 1 education facilities
in the schools, co the extent he
advocates
ammendment of the
State Law, to limit our boys' and
girls' parcicipa cion in the physical
fitness program. That brings to
mind a question that I would direct
to the High School administrators,
Why, and must, the seventy-odd
boys who annually turn out for
basket ball and some other sports
be cut co twenty-two or three?
Mr . Weinbrecht also accuses
our schools of ostentation. Again
I disagree. I haven't seen a frill
in any of our new school buildings.
In any event, let us not allow
the old hue and cry to confuse
us. No amount of wishful chinking
will change the direction of taxes
downward. Let's see chat our tax
money is spent where it will do
the greatest good. School buildings
will continue to be needed in chis,
the fastest growing suburb in
Illinois .
Let it not be sa id chat Communise force won world supremacy
because of its educated leaders,
whereas the fall of democratic
America was due to its voters'
refusal to foot educations bill.

on the three proposals, Dec. 13,
was paid for through contributions
of their organization. This group
is also paying for the rental of the
room that we use for our meetings
at the high school.
We also feel justified in what
we are doing and feel that we
should not be cricized for using
the grade school children to bring
chis literature to their parents, for
who should have a better right to
bring home chis information but
the grade school children who
will be using t'hese high schools
in years to come?
Mrs . Victor R. Rasmussen

Dear Sir:
It's about time some citizen
asked a few questions of the opponents to the High School Bond
Issue.
I am tired of hearing these opponents vilify and by innuendo
accuse the High School Board of
Education members of ''putting
something over" on the tax payers.
Any person who sincerely wanrs
answers co the S8,625 ,000 bond
issue needs only to read and
listen to explanations given by
our elected board members as to
why they feel their proposals are
the best solution to the educational problems.
As a member of the Citizens
Council for High Schools I personally know who the members are
and am p:oud co be associated
with people who are so dedicated
to furthering the education of our
children. These people are a true
cross section of Niles Township.
Every section, school district and
educational group of chis community is represented on this
council. The names of these people
appear on the Council's letterhead. These members believe in
the school boards proposals and
recommendations.
During the past 2 weeks the
o JPOnents of this bond issue have
attended meetings of various PT A
groups and harassed school board
members, disrupted orderly procedures and in some instances
openly shocked those in attendance
by their complete disrespect of
officers of these PT A groups. All
chis under the quise of "asking
questions." No answer the board
might give them would change their
opposition to the bond referendum.
It is the time now for voters who
have a sincere interest in the
future education of our children
to ask some questions of the
opponents of this issue!
Mr. James H. O'Brien, listed
variously as Chairman, Spokesman and Vocal Leader of the
"Committee for Higher Education
at Lower Taxes" an "Economy
Bloc" claims his group is composed of a "fair cross section"
of Niles township . Question One Who are the members of his group?
Mr. O'Brien owns a home on the
golf course. Are his members home
Dear Sir:
In last week's issue of one of
the local Skokie papers they
wondered who was paying for the
literature issued to date and I
would like to inform chem through
your paper.
I would greatly appreciate it if
you would print this letter in your
next edition, Thursday, Dec. 11,
letting the public know chat the
literature that was sent out by the
Citizen's Council for High Schools
of Niles Township informing the
public why it should vote "YES"

owners on the golf course, golf
club members, or whom? - Is this
whar Mr. O'Brien describes as a
"fair cross section" of the c ommunity? Question Two-"What is
the strange alliance between Mr .
O'Brien's group and a local p olitical
machine?"
The anti- high
school propaganda literature put
out by Mr. O'Brien's committee is
currently
being distributed by
Scotty Krier ' s precinct captains.
I, for one, bitterly resen t any
politician celling me how to v ote
on an educational issue that wi ll
affect my children.
When Mr. O'Brien can show th e
people of chis township chat his
group is not aligned with a political organization - chat the membership of his committee is an honest
and fair cross section of the
voting public of Niles Township,
then, and only then will be citizens feel the convictions of his
group are sincere and their oppo sition to bond is sue is based o n
economy.mmm

Dear Sir:
•
To vote "no" on chis issue
is to imply chat the board of education is not qualified to determ1ne
the best course of action for chis

long and serious hours in order
to give this community the proper
educational facilities. They are

sincere, dedicated men, all reports
to the contrary nothwithstanding .
deThe political tactic of
nouncing certain minor phases of
a generally sound program, and
negative
thereby creating a
"emotional" climate in a community by use of the newspapers
and "vocal" individuals , is not
new Some people would vote "no"
to ANY social advancement that
meant a raise in their taxes. When
you consider that the increase in
taxes would amount to approximately Sl6- 20 .00 per year on an
$25,000 .00 home, and
average
consider this factor along side of
EVERYONE
the amount which
(some more than others) Hitters
away per year on personal luxuries,
be it cigarettes, whisky, make-up,
clothes, pleasure-trips, bowling ,
etc . , is this not a rather harsh indictment of our so-called belief in
''brother-man"?
So after spending all this time,
listening to architects, professional
educators, making trips to schools
all over the country, our board
comes up with what they consider to be the very be st solution
for our comm·unity. Now they must
take this solution to the people
and according to the democratic
process, allow them to say "yes"
or "no". It seems a little absurd
in one sense, for who else could
know the best answer better than
they?
Bence my reason for writing this
article. Those of you who know
me, and who value my opinion,
for whatever it may be worth,
please get out to the polls on
Saturday and vote.

�THE FIREMAN ST AGE
by MILES T. BABB
Chairman, Fire and Police
Committee
Skokie Board of Trustees
Almost every boy goes through "The Fireman Stage".
Each imagines himself in the characteristic red-metal headgear
and strapping boots, storming up and down ladders and performing
heroic deeds.
Boys become men and most forget their childhood dreams, but
not all of them. Some actually become firemen. Those that do, have
something more than just courage . .... Something that enables each to
perform a grim and thankless job from day to day.
The fireman is far from overpaid . He knows no timeclock. He
see·s his family less than he'd like. When he works, they are often
asleep and vice versa.
Ever see a Fireman swing Jnto Action?
He moves furiously! Almost mechanically! And when he's on
the scene he does what needs to be done , to the best of his judgment
and ability . .... usually in the face of great personal danger.
The majority of us don't give much thought to our fire fighters
until some terrifying blaze strikes close to home . Recent tragedies
place the fire fighters in sharp focus, and their value to a community
is assessed as "immeasurable."
There is little that can be done or said about past events . But
for the future , the surest safeguard is to keep a "ready" system based
on a community's knowledge of and interest in its fire fighting process,
and what needs to be done for the protection of life and property.
Niles Township has its firefighters . .... both volunteer and
professional. All of them are long past "The Fireman Stage." They get
the job done . .. .. and we're lucky to have them.

Fourteen years have passed since the first

of development and discovery. And what have I
discovered concerning the guided missile program? Well, nothing scientific. But music-wise
I've discovered the top ten outer space records.

Stopped in one day last week to have a chat
with our good friend of many years standing,
Charlie Wenk. Charlie is the genial proprietor of
the Chinese take-home restaurant at 4417 Oakton
Street, and .'. '.! had a most interesting observation
for us . ... . "In this country we drink coffee out
of cups, and in China they drink tea out of doors."

It had been almost five years since we last
called on the Skokie Fire Department. At that
time we found them prompt, expert and most
gendemanly. While our mansion was being licked
with flames, and the fire laddies were in the
basement doing battle with the blaze, one lone
fire-eater placed a blanket around the bird's
cage and carried our parakeet next door. The
men in the lower regions covered the boy's train
table with tarpaulin, and took every precaution
elsewhere to protect our belongings. That fire
was a beaut, and but for the efficient work of
the FD (and an unidentified neighbor who is now
on the Skokie Police Force ..... and whose
initials are RJR), we would have lost everything. As I said earlier, it had been almost five
years ..... then, one nite last week-BOOM!!!
The furnace blew up. Once again we called on
the boys with the Dalmatian - and once again
they responded as they had before. Our hats are
doffed to the Skokie Fire Department. They may
not get much in the way of monetary compensation, but if it means anything to them - we sure
appreciate 'em. It's good to know they' re around.

WEBER NAMED'PRO TEM' MANAGER
Heavy Opposition Develops
To High School Bond Issue
Debate grew hotter this week
as the bitterly-contested 8 ½
million dollar high school
bond issue approached a test
by ballot.
In a referendum a week from
Saturday, voters will accept
or reject the Niles Township
High School board's propositions for expanding the township's
secondary education
facilities.
Aost furiously discussed of
the three issues co appear on
the ballot is the proposal to
spend 6 ½ million dollars to
acquire a ~1.4 acre tract of
the Evanston Golf club and
build a third high school there .
The other two proposals
provide for spending a million
dollars to acquire approximately 55 acres between Harlem
Ave. and Waukegan Rd., south
of Dempster St. in Morton Grove
as the possible site for a fourth
schoo I building, and 11/ 8
million co build additions to
each of the two present high
school buildings.
I\ public meeting will be
held at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the
all-purpose room of the Golf
school, with the school board
represented by Dr. J oho Speer,
Ernest Eisenberg, William Wise
and Clyde V. P. Anderson .
Speakers who oppose the
board's proposals w i 11 be
Gordon Levine, Don Falknor,
James O'Brien and Sherman
Pate, members of the recently
formed "Committee For Higher
Education At Lower Taxes.''
Open discussion from the floor
will follow the pro and con
talks.
The League of Women Voters
of Skokie this week a nnounced
its endorsement of the high
school bond issue proposals.
Mrs . Alfred Kamin of 9434
Lincolnwood Drive, president
of the League, said the group's
education committee recommended support of the
referendum propositions after
a year-long study, and added
that "87 per cent of League
members favor supporting the
proposed bond issue."
Here is a summary of the
school board's proposals and
its reasons for advancing chem,
followep by rebuttals put forth
by opponents of the propositions, notably the "Committee
Democratic Organization
Against $8,625,000 Project
~lartin ''Scotty" T(rier, longtime Democratic committeeman
of
i le s Township, today
aligned
his powerful party
organization against the proposed new $8,625 , 000 high•
s chool bond issue.
T( rier conceded that some
expansion of high school
facilities is needed, but said
the people of the township are
already
overburdened
with
taxes and chat a more ' ' reasonable" approach is needed. In
addition, he said any high
school program should include
prov1s1ons for attracting and
keeping "the finest educators
possible." His statement
follows:
"A proposal by the high school
board to spend another $8,625 ,000
to build a third high school and
acquire land for a fourth high
school will be presented to the
people of
iles Township in a
referendum December 13.
"The Niles Township Regular
Democratic Organization and I
For Higher Education Ac Lo',Ver
Taxes'':
School Board: The greatest
need for a third high school
is in the no rtheastern section
of the township . The Evanston
Golf Club site is idea 11 y
located because many hundreds
of pupils will live within
short walking distance, permitting the saving of thousands
of dollars each year in bus
coses.
Committee : The program to
build a series of 2,000-student
high schools in scattered
locations, followed by construction of a junior college ' 'a program which will cost a
minimum of 25 million dollars
in the next few years'' - is
not well founded .
The committee feels that
a student limitation of 2,000
per school is not necessary,
considering "the successfully
operating programs for vastly
more students in such outstanding schools as Evanston,
New Trier and Oak Park, all
of whom have 3,000 or more
students."
The committee urges chat

personally have a long record of
supporting the educational needs
of the township. Starting with the
construction of the present Niles
Township High School East - the
first high school in the townshipwe
have supported each and
every attempt by the various
school boards to improve our
educational facilities . As a matter
of fact, I and the Democratic
organization intervened to make
a $350 , 000 PWA g rant available
for the first high s chool building
when to complete it during the
Depression
years
seemed impossible .
"So we have the greatest sympathy with the natural desire of
parents to see that their children
get the best education possible .
We realize, also, that some provisions must be made for enlarged
high school enrollment in the immediate years ahead .
"But we feel duty-bound to
point out at this time that the
proposed program as set forth by
the high school board will not be
acceptable to a majority of our
people.
"In addition, we cannot agree

Another Winner
Veteran Public Works Head
Will Serve Only Four Months
Henry
"Hank" Weber,
Sko~ie' s veteran superintendent of public works, Tuesday
night was named "pro tern"
village manager.
Skokie's board of trustees
unanimously okayed Weber for
the interim position at it s
regular meeting.
Weber will serve until a fulltime village manager is selected
to
replace Arthur Lowther,
Skokie' s first such administrator. Lowther quit suddenly
Nov . 18. He assumed his duties
only lase March.Voters approved
the village manager form of
government in April, 1957.
Under the law, a "pro cem"
manager may serve a maximum
of four month s, Meantime,
trustees were expected to begin
the process of weeding out
applicants for the full-time
position. There were more than
50 wouldbe managers applying
for the job originally. Presumably this list will be used
again as the basis for another
selection.
Weber, 57, has been in charge
of public works in the village
for more than 25 years. For
t he last 16 years he has held
the title of superintendent.
But for nine years previously.
he was designated "foreman
in charge" - meaning virtually
the same thing.
Ia addition, he has been a
Park District Board commissioner for 21 years - serving
as president fo r six years.
He has lived in Skokie fo r
41 years. He and Mrs. Weber
reside at 5253 Cleveland St.
They have three children: 1--1.enry
Jr., a junior engineering student
at Marquette University; James,
a freshman commerce student
at Loyola University, and Jean ,

With the score tied, John •

what looked like the final shot
of the game. Bordes was fouled
by George Pomey, who was
ironically the leading scorer
for both squads, amassing 21
points. Bordes, upon sinking
the winning point, was carried
off the court by his team mates.
Jay Bu_
sscher, senior forward,
lead the Dons in the scoring
department with 16 points.
The first three quarters of the
game found the Dons unable
to get any sort of sustained
attack mounted against the
Bull do gs. But in the final
quarter of play, the Dons with
the aid of Bordes' winning
free throw overtook the Grant
lead and went on to defeat
them to maintain a spotless
record for the first three games
of the season.
This next weekend the Dons
play away for two games. They
will go against Taft of Chicago

Can't Happen Here? Morton Grove
l\linety young lives were snuffed out in t\londay's tragic fire
at Our Lady of ch e Ange ls Catholic school in Chicago. The
sympathy of the entire nation goes out to the parents of these
youngsters.
And yet, in the midst of this terrible loss, many parents of
Our Lady of the Angels schoolchildren may consider themselves
fortunate: their own children were rescued or their lives saved
by prompt medical and hospital care.
~Ir. James ;1lancuso, co-chairman of the kokie commercial
section of the Skokie Valley Community IIospital drive, called
attention to chis fact at a meeting of his workers Tuesday morning.
"llow fortunate these people were that hospital facilities
were easily accessible, so that suffering children could be spared
lingering pain or death," he said.
And then he asked this question: "\\'hat would we here in
kokie do if a similar tragedy occurred in our midst?"
No one bothered to reply, "But it can't happen here," because the same thing obviously can happen here. Who is to
guarantee us that tomorrow or the next day or next month an
explosion or fire will not find Niles Township parents scaring
starkly at a cl_rnrred school building, sorrowfully lifting a blanket
to identify a lost-forever youngster, or pacing a hospital corridor
waiting for some word of hope about a badly burned child?
Such accidents uill happen. And when they do, will ue be
prepared? Will the few minutes more it takes to reach an Evanston or Chicago hospital mean that lives are lost instead of saved?
'\'X'e are fortunate that answers to _these questions have been
sought for some time Dy responsible persons in our community.
As a result, a drive is underway to raise funds for the proposed
Skokie Valley Community Hospital. It will be situated near ~he
township's center of population - a few minutes away from any
school or home.
The hospital also will serve persons from communities to the
north and northwest. People in these areas are working diligently
to help raise money for it - even though the benefit to them will
not be as great as it is to us. They realize that they, too, need
a nearby hospital facilit)' - and the question of the degree of
benefit is, to them, of minor consideration.
The hospital fund drive currently is concentrating on solicitation of businesses. After the first of the year, a big house-tohouse drive will begin. To date there have been many willing
contributors - but there also has been a noticeable dragging
of feet by others.
Let's not be niggardly in a matter of such obvious merit. \Vie
may not be able always to prevent tragedies which kill and maim,
but when they occur we can at least be prepared for them.
The Skokie Valley Community Hospital will be our hospital.
Let's all get behind it.
Plan Commission
The Morton Grove Days Committee will hold a meeting at
the Luxemburg Gardens at 8:30
p. m. ;1londay to give a financial
report of this year's ~Jorton
Grove Days.
Highlighting the meeting will
be announcement of the results
of a recent survey taken among
the residents of Morton Grove
by Gould, Gleiss and Benn,
Inc.
The survey, sponsored by
the Morton Grove Days Committee, for the purpose of determining the wishes of the
members of the communi ty as
to the desireability of expanding and improving Morton Grove
park and recreation facilities,
will be presented to the assembly
by president Allen
Goldberg.
The /\Jorton Grove Days board
of directors also will present
the nominating committee for
next year's officers and Board
Members. The nominating committee this year will be comprised of three past presidents
of the committee: Ed Apcel,
Henry
Flammini and Luke
;1leier. They will work with the
committee co fill the expired
terms of five directors and four
officers. The retiring officers
are Allen Goldberg, Roman
Lach, Dorothy Bond and Raymond Revers. Retiring directors
are
Richard Bleser, Oscar
Cy llin, \1: illiam Tamminga and
Gordon
icholson. Directors
held over for another year are
/\larvin Weiss, Harley D' Eath,
Francis
Fredericks, Nathan
~lann, Paul Connelly and Kenneth Myers.
day night asked the Skokie
board of trustees co reconsider
a previous veto of the plan.
The board agreed to do so.
John J. Puetz, representing
the owners of the property,
said he was reopening the case
to present previously undisclosed "elements."
The Howard Johnson chain
has proposed to operate the
motel, if it is built. The site
is near the Sharp orner school.
The board of trustees unanimously turned down a recommendation by the kokie P Ian
Commission that erection of
the motel be permitted after
1,800 residents of the area
voted against it in a "straw
poll.''
Among new points which
Puetz argued in a letter to the
board were these:
A Brand New
neged on an old agreement on
which he based his retirement
plans.
Stopping of the checks was
based on a state official's
legal opinion that none of the
21 years service Kutz put in as
a volunteer fireman from 1926
to 1947 may be counted toward
the 20 years needed to qualify
for a retirement pension.

The board believes the golf
club site can be obtained a t
a ''far lower cost to t he taxpayers than ei t her the 'dump'
site or the 'Kiddy land' site."
"Competent Skokie real
estate men", it said in ~
statement, "have advised the
board that the cost of acquiring
adequate land for a high school
either at the 'dump' or at
'Kiddyland' would be more
than twice as great as any
reasonable price for the Golf
club site.''
Board architects estimated
that construction of a school
on either site "could add as
much as $5 per square foot,
or a total of a million dollars
for a building of 200,000 square
feet, to the cost of a third
high school."
Committee: "The committee
conducted independent
has
investigations of the school
board's statements and found
many of them completely
erroneous.
'' An outstanding example
of this is the board's statement that pilings to support
a new building, should one
be built on the 'dump site',
would cost at least ~5 per
square foot, or a total of one
million dollars or more. A
study of this subject reveals
that other high schools such
as Thornton Township and
Lane Tech are built on filled
garbage dumps and swamps,
and that much more complicated
caissons· for these building~
cost 75 cents per square foot.
"The school board labeled
the 'dump site' unsat isfacotry
because of 'un stable subsoil'
when in reali ty soi l t es t s proved
it to be muc h mo re stable than
t he site upon which Nilehi
\Vest is constructed."

Eight-Day Hanukkah Fete
Starts in Temples Saturday
Starting at sundown Saturday,
Dec. 6, Jews throughout the
world will start the eight day
celebration of Hanukkah. Here
in Niles Township, synagogues
will hold special services. A
little explanation of the meaning of this holiday is expressed
in the following by Rabbi Sidney J. Jacobs, spiritual leader
of the Niles Township Jewish
Congregation.

Greco-Syrian em porer, Antiochus, who sought to abolish
Judaism.
Resistance by the people,
under the leadership of a priest
named Mattathias and his five
sons, known as the Maccabees,
resulted in a guerrilla war which
ultimately brought defeat to
the pagans.
After their victory, the
Judeans reconsecrated the temple which had been desecrated.
According to legend, oil for the
altar light, apparently enough
for one day, lasted for eight.
Hence, the holiday is celebrated for eight days, with an
additional candle blessed each
night.

chancel at St. Timothy's Lutheran Church, Skokie, the four
weeks before Christmas. During the worship service an
acoloyte lights a candle for
each week as the Old Testament prophecy of the coming
of Christ is read by the pastor.
The Advent wreath which is
widely used in all Protestant
churches during the pre-Christmas season is a tradition that
came from the Lutheran churches of Scandinavia and Germany .
The four candles, one for
each Sunday in Advent, represent the four major prophecies
of the coming of Christ.
The evergreens of the wreath
symbolize" growth unto eternal
life" which the Christian has
in Christ.

T. V. Education
Mr. and Mrs. James Noffz
One of the love l i e st of
weddings this fall was the
beautiful candelight, doublering ceremony of Miss Pearl
Schoell, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. C. Henry Schoell of Niles,
and James Noffz, son of Mr.
and Mrs. August Noffz, of
Chicago - at the Edgebrook
Ev. Lutheran Church, Nov. 8.
The Rev. Louis Valbracht,
pastor of the church, officiated.
In an heirloom gown of ivory
chantilly lace over taffeta,
·trimmed with pearls, and
wearing a fingertip veil of
french illusion netting caught
up in a dainty pearl head
piece, the lovely bride walked
down the aisle on the arm of
her father. She carried a cascade bouquet of white Fugi
mums.
The bride's attendant, Miss
June Noffz, sister of the groom,
wore a beige chiffon and lace
gown. She carried a cascade
bouquet of pink Fugi mums.
Dainty little Christine Husa,
lovely in a pale burnt-orange
chiffon and lace dress, was
flower girl. She carried a
basket filled with pink and
bronze porn porns.
Beautiful
white bouquets
graced the altar and white
satin bows, holding white
carnations and fern within
them, were placed at every
pew.
Renditions of "Because"
and "The Lord's Prayer" were
given by Paul Rossmann,
cousin of the bride. Raymond
Husa, cousin of the bride acted
as "best man" and the Messrs.
Craig and Noffz, relatives of
the groom, attended as ushers.
In Fellowship Hall of the
church, where all was lace,
silver, flowers and soft candlelight, a four-tiered wedding
cake was the center of attraction.
Assembled to wish the bride
and bridegroom a lifetime of
happiness were 125 guests.
After an extended honeymoon, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Noffz
will be at home to their many
friends at 6107 No. Cicero Ave.
"Help Yourself to an Education" was the topic of a talk
given before the Zonta Club of
Northwest Cook County at its

Joyce
Lois Ni ch o 1 as,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William
C. Nicholas, 9208 Keating Ave.,
Skokie, and Anshel Eugene
Gostomelsky, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Abe Gostomelsky, 4843
Greenleaf Ave., Skokie, were
married recently in the· North
Shore Hotel, Evanston.
The lovely young bride was
a June '58 graduate of Niles
Township High School. Her
husband was a June '58 graduate of Northwestern University.
Every individual has "one book" in them.
It doesn't matter whether one has the ability
to express themselves with words, the thought,
the emotions that go into a story, are there.
More years back than we care to remember,
we started on our masterpiece. At that time, many
laborious hours went into research and typing.
Then, like most pseudo authors, we put the
pages away and promptly forgot about them.
In Skokie, "the days that the rains came"
usually brought with them flooded basements,
and the next time we saw our artistic creation,
it was floating around in muddy water.
A few of the pages were salvaged and put
away. This past year, in a need for "therapy,"
we decided to take up where we left off.
The other night, at about two in the morning,
we wound the whole thing up. Upon re-reading,
we became firmly convinced it will never appear
in print. But it served a purpose - gave us something to do evenings, and provided an emotional
outlet.
Putting thoughts into words, whether one has
any kind of literary creativity or not, can be an
excellent catharsis.
Now that that's over, about the only thing left
to Or....:upy us is baton twirling. We may never
get to lead a band, but we've a head start on
being able to go about in circles.
We're buggy on horoscopes. However, we do
wish the daily newspapers would get together on
their prognostications.
Three different astrologers will have three
completely divergent opinions on what the day
holds in store. Could be even the stars are a
bit mixed up these days.
The only gratifying thought behind these differences is that if you don't like what one
horoscope says, you can always pick another
one.
In this manner, one can have a 11 kinds of
wonderful days. The only trouble with selecting
the "happy" thoughts is that so frequently they
just don't match up with what actually does
occur.
On a "financially rewarding" day you're apt
to have to borrow lunch money; on the "new
romance in your life'' day, you will probably
end up watching television, the only romance
in your life being Steve Allen or Mortimer Snerd;
on the day you are to "take a trip," you can
be prepared for travel to the supermart for the
bread you forgot yesterday.
Even though we're completely cognizant of
the incongruities that exist in horoscopes, we
shall continue devotedly to follow them.
Who knows, some day a prediction may just
happen to coincide with an event. It's the law
of averages and bound to happen - and then will
we have a few choice words for our deriders.
There are certain days of liv ing . .... That we
never can forget .. ... Like the birth of a new
baby . .... Or someone wonderful we met .. ...
So on this day, my dearest . .... fjvery year that
goes through time . .... I recall with reverent
gratitude . .... Other days when you were mine
..... Three years today, my darting . .... Since
you had to leave . .... With a vow of love upon
your lips . .... And a plea I do not grieve . ... .
'Though I always shall remember . .... The
wond'rous joy when you were near . .... As I
light the candle in your memory . .... It seems
once again that you are here.

GRENNAN HEIGHTS MODELOVELIES
Sheryl Leonard, society editor of The Villager,
tells all as she does the fashion commentary fpr
the Grennan Heights Garden Club show held in
the Bunker Hill Country Club on Friday, Nov. 14.
Lovely fall frocks and suits were all from
Weil's Apparel Shop, 5047 Oakton St., Skokie.
The affair was a combination card party and
fashion show.
Sheryl Leonard describes
Glarice Goldbeck' s three piece
outfit.
Some of the attractive models showing fashions by Weil' s of Skokie were Mrs.
John Frick, Mrs. FTedNott, Mrs. Clinton Sipe, Mrs. Clarice Goldbeck, Mrs. Weston
Parker, Mrs. John Peterson, Mrs. Carrol LaSorella, Lynn Doud, Mrs. William
Leidner, Mrs. Edward Mueller, Mrs. Gene nagner and Mrs. Oscar Mayer. Model
Mrs. Minnie Treutler was not around when this photo was taken.
Lynn Dowd has a captive
audience in her good looking
wool suit.
Where did that man come from? But this man among hundreds of
maids seemed more intent on his cards than on the fashions.
1 he ladies seem intrigued with Mrs. Fred Nott' s plaid skirt outfit as Miss Leonard spoke of the pertinent details.

�ED PRELL
by GILBERT GARDNER
Niles Township is getting a comer on the
sports reporting market.
First it was Jack Quinlan, who calls the
Chicago Cubs' plays over WGN, and now it's Ed
Prell, of 9545 Harding Ave., Skokie, who covers
sports for the Chicago Tribune.
There are several others, 'including Jerry
Holtzman (Morton Grove) of the Sun-Times and
Howard Roberts (Skokie) of the Daily News.
Prell, who is rounding out 20 years with the
Tribune, has been a sports writer in Chicago
since November, 1929, when he joined the Chicago
American.
From 1932 thru 1945 he wr9te baseball for the
Hearst paper, but then "went west" to become
sports editor of the Ft. Worth Star-Telegra m.
While in Texas he organized the state's Golden
Gloves program, bringing amateur boxing champions to the Chicago Stadium in 1937.
That year Prell transferred his allegiance to
the Toledo (Ohio) News•Bee, where he was
sports editor - again organizing Golden Glove
competition in the Buckeye State, returning to
Chicago with northwest Ohio champions.
New Year's Day, 1939, Prell joined the Tribune
and he's been there ever since, handling a
variety of assignments , but most recently
specializing in baseball, traveling with the
White Sox on out-of-town games and also covering them at home.
From 1941 thru 1952 Prell covered pro football,
helping in the promotion of the All-Star football
game in buildup stories.
March, 1953, brought a quick switch in assignments for Prell, after the Boston Braves transferred to Milwaukee. Though he hadn't been in a
plane in 25 years, sports editor Arch Ward was
in a hurry to get the Braves covered in their
Bradenton, Fla., training camp and dispatched
Ed southward via plane. That year-1953 - Prell
enjoyed the distinction of covering three big
league baseball teams on one eastern trip. He
started with the Braves, joined the Cubs for
their final few games in the east and then stayed
there and picked up the White Sox on their
eastern swing.
The last four World's Series have been covered
by Prell, who reported his first series game in
1933, when the New York Giants played the
Washington Senators.
With Edgar Muzel, now of the Chicago SunTime s, he has written the movie script for the
last five series games. In cooperation with Lew
Fonseca, motion picture director of the major
leagues, Prell also has done the script in recent
years for the All-Star movie.
Like many reporters and editors, Ed Prell has
difficulty keeping away from a typewriter. He
has one at home and does freelance sports articles
for Look, Esquire, Saturday Evening Post,
American Legion and other publications .
A native of Pittsburg, Kansas, Prell started
his 37-year newspaper car~er as sports editor
of th_e Pittsburg Sun, a morning paper, in 1921,
while a high school junior. An athletic career
was nipped in the bud by a mild attack of polio,
knocking out a youthful ambition to become a
professional baseball player. In high school he
had played baseball, basketba1.l and was on the
track squad.
He attended Pittsburg State (Te ache rs)
College, but didn't bother to get a degree.
His first fulltime newspaper job was sports
SKOKIE'S ACE

Series.
editor for the Salina (Kansas) Daily Union in
1925 after he got out of Pittsburg State. He had
worked there in the summers between college
terms and covered his first professional baseball, in Salina, a Class D team (the lowest they
get in professional baseball). From there he
more or less "worked his way up" to the majors,
covering the Western League while with the
Omaha, Neb,, Bee-News in 1929, the Texas
League while in Ft. Worth and the American
Association when in Toledo, when the Mudhens
were still in existence.
Prell served briefly as sports-teleg raph editor
at the Ponca City, Okla. News in 1927-28 - the
same job he had filled at the Pittsburg Sun
In the summer of 1928 Prell married Callie
Taylor, a Pittsburg State co-ed who then was
teaching at a Norfolk, Va. public school. The
couple has two sons, George, a graduate of
Northwester n and now a senior electronics engineer for General Precision in Chicago, and Edward
T., a senior in mechanical engineering at Northwestern. Neither of his sons showed the slightest
interest in newspaper work, Prell says, indicating
how smart they are.
Prell left Ponca City in the fall of 1928 and
went with the Wichita, Kan., Beacon for three
months before joining the Omaha Bee-News as
night sports ~ditor, from whence he made the
shift to Chkago late in 1929.
"Players today are a lot more intelligent than
a few decades ago,'' Prell declared in answer
to a question on comparison of player characteristics in 1958 with the mid-thirties .
"Baseball is 'big business' today," Prell
added, ''and that is probably the main reason
for this state of affairs. The game was more of
a sport 25 or 30 years ago - more of the men who
owned and operated ball clubs and who managed
clubs could point to their own athletic backgrounds .
As an example, take Jimmy Dykes, who managed

the White Sox for 12 years - longer than any other
Sox manager.
"Baseball is said to be 'too mechanical' these
days," Prell went on. "We probably have superior
players, but we don't see as much 'pepper' on
the field as in ·che days of 'Pepper' Martin,
stellar third sacker for the Cardinals' "Gashouse
Gang" of the early tbirties."
"Games are played today in more leisurely
fashion,'' Prell recalled, ''with game time running
more than two hours as a rule nowadays. Why,
a decade or two ago it was the rule for a game
to be finished under two hours - one hour and
45-minutes or so.''
Asked the reason for this, Prell said: "Today
the lively ball and the lively bat are responsible.
Oldtimers used to swing 40-ounce bats. Ernie
Banks today swings a 28-ounce bat and Banks
is typical of the sluggers who go for the light
bat because they can wait a bit longer to swing
and look that ball over- and that ball is coming
in pretty fast. More home runs are being hit todaypitchers are becoming overly cautious and hence
work a lot slower.
"Almost every pitch nowadays is a 'production'
with a pitcher hitching his pants, toying with
his resin bag, looking around the stadium as if
he were 1counting the house and then he winds
up by being so careful that he misses the plate.
Then what do you have? More 3-and-2 counts
on today's hitters."
Another thing that slows up the game today
is the substitution routine, Prell claims.
More 'Master Minding'
"Even if a club wins a game by a fairly
,decisive and healthy score, the chances are the
winning team will use 11 to 15 players - sometimes a lot more. There is a lot more 'master
minding' by managers today," Prell opined. "At
the first sign chat a starting pitcher is weakening,
a relief man is hustled up from the bullpen."
Among the nicest guys in baseball today Prell
lists popular Stan Musial, of the St. Loui~ Cardinals. Prell recalled two summers ago when
he was in New York covering a Cubs' game and
Stan Musial happened to be in town.
"I was at the Commodore, where the Cubs
used to stay," Prell related, "and iusial was
at the nearby Biltmore ffotel, practically around
the corner from the Commodore. The Tribune
had asked for a series of interviews aimed
toward Little Leaguers, and Uusial apprared a
likely candidate for an interview.
"I had talked to Brooklyn's Sal faglie on
pitching and to the Giants' Willie 1fays on base

running and I had to interview 1.1usial on playing
the outfield.
"Musial was ready and waiting in the Biltmore
lobby under the wellknown clock when I arrived
at the hotel for our interview," the Tribune reporter related.
"As we started to talk some fellozv who was
a deaf mute came up and handed Stan a card with
a message on it, requesting an autographed ball.
Stan wrote a message in reply asking the man
to drop around to Ebbets field the next day, when
the Cards started their series there after the
Cubs left. The mute then wrote another note to
Stan, to which 'The Man' as he is affectionatelyknown, responded with another written message.
The mute, it developed, wanted a job working
in the club house and Musial went to ·bat for
him - you'll pardon the expression- by suggesting
whom the mute might see at the Brooklyn clubhouse. !.1usial is that kind of a guy."
Many another player would have given the
mute the brush-off under similar circumstances.
Prell added that Musial subs quently came
to Chicago as the guest of the Chicago t3aseball
Writers Assn. and refused to accept any expense
money for the trip. Time was, Prell recalled,
when baseball players were second only to newspaper reporters as freeloaders. Now that they
are in the higher income brackets, baseball
players are better spenders, with the exception
of a certain high-salaried pitcher who is knowr

Tn the earlyl940's Prell(onrigh t in shirtsleeves )
had a bit part in the B movie, "The Golden

''Oldtime ballplayers and sports writers were
great fuqlovers;'' Prell said, relating an· exp.erience he had at Catalina Island in the thirties.
The late Charles W. Dunkley, Chicago Associated
Press baseball writer, and George Kirksey, then
with United Press in Chicago, but now a Houston,
Texas, public relations man, used to put fish
in the beds and baths of ballplayers.
"I remember one year," Prell recalled, "when
Bob Lewis, Cubs traveling secretary, got even
with them. Kirksey was going over to Los A~geles
from Catalina Island to spend the day.
"Lewis called up a friend of his in th e
Los Angeles Police Department and arranged
to have Kirksey arrested for vagrancy when he
got off the boat. It was all in fun, but we had a
lot of laughs.
"Several years back the late Pat Malone, star
Cub pitcher in the mid-thirties did something
that was surprising for one who was supposed
to be a 'rowdy' player. We were at Catalina
Island at the Cubs training camp and we had our
oldest - then only - son, George, age 5, along.
It was Ester Sunday and upon opening the door,
we found a large chocolate egg there, presented
to George by Pat Malone.''
What's one of the big problems for sports
writers, Prell was asked.
Prell thouP,ht a minute and then told how it
took him from 6 p.m. one night in New York until
2 a.m.the next day in Ailwaukee to get some

'SHAKE, RATTLE AND ROLL'
by SHERYL LEONARD
When "Shake, Rattle and l{oll" admonished
listeners to "get out of that kitchen and rattle
those pots and pans," some of the female members of the PTA took the advice literally.
The sweetest music this side of a kitchen stove
is being played these days with the use of washboards, kazoos, tubs, glasses filled with water,
"'ooden spoons and all sizes and shapes of pots
and pans.
Kitchen bands are quite the thing among PT A
lovers of music. The wonderful part about it is
that one needn't have a formal musical education
to participate.
There is no Ii mi t to the versatility of the
members of these unique ban'ds . It is nothing for
them to put on an entire production complete
with costuming, scenery and choreography.
Almost all of the material the girls use, (besides
being musicians, they also sing) is created by
the members themselves.
In the case of the East Prairie PT A ki t chen
band, most of the clever parodies and sc ripts
used are created by the talented and beautiful
'-frs. ol Shor, who a lt hough not a member o f the
band. itself, provides much of its material.
Such things as program planning and production
continuity, is usually handled by the band directors. For East Prairie, band di rect or is Mrs.
Bert Yill and for the \liles School PT A band,
1.frs. Adolph Foss .
Paris might frown on some of the headgear
u•orn by kitchen band members, but it c<mldn' t
deny the originality and cleverness of these
chapeaux.
Chef's caps, frying pans, baking tins, strainers,
dish mops - these are but a few of the items the
This Thurs., Fri. and Sat. ... at Golfview Plaza
ladies use for head adornment . Occasionally,
a hat might have spoons, ladles, or measunng
cups as an added touch.
Costumes run the gamu t from tea aprons to
army unifo rms.
PT A kitchen bands perform at meetings and
special affai rs . Local civic organizations have
been known to contact these music makers with
requests for performances.
Besides bringing pleasure to others, the band
members have fun themselves.
It took the kitchen band to let many a woman
realize that she needn't hide behind a wash
board, she merely has to get in front of it and
start strumming away.
If a strange sound is heard in a home from the
use of a plunger on plumbing, it is not someone
fixing a stopped up sink, but a band member
rehearsing for her part in a show.
Should ki t chen utens i ls start disappearing
from the home, check with mom . She's probably
loaning her "instruments" to other members of
the band .
A recording company may never approach these
women to cut a record (although they are good
enough for one), and the Philharmonic may never
sign any of the members up for solo roles, but
all of these PT A kitchen bands without a doubt
bring the most wonderful kind of music to the
area.

Rail Fans Make Final C. & N.W. Trip
Nearly 50 intrepid railroad
"fans" mingled with regular
commutors last Saturday and
braved bitter cold weather to
make the final round-trip to
Chicago from Skokie on the
Chicago & North \';'estern R.y.
last Saturday. Fourteen "fans"
made tl1e trip to the city and
19 made the return trip, indicating that some were not too
keen about the 7:38 a.m. departure time.
~ervice was discontinued on
the Skokie-Chicago run,
as
noted, effective Dec. 1.
Adam \luraski (left) engineer and Abe Arowitz, fireman, prepare
to guide engine o. 1688 -0f Chicago & orth Western Ry. on its
final run at 7: 38 a.m., Saturday, ov. 29 u hen the last trip over
this division was made.
Adrian M. Smith, passenger
and freight agent at the Skokie
depot of the C. & N. W. for the
past 25 years opened
the
station, normally closed on
Saturday, to permit passengers
to warm themselves.
"It's funny," mused Smicl1,
"we had to discontinue the
service for lack of passengers
and now there is a sudden
interest rn it." Smith will
continue to keep the depot
open for freight business.
The train crew, consisting
of
Jack Davis, conductor,
Frank F. Pettingiol and R.
Lavelle,
collectors,
Adam
~1uraski,
engineer and Abe
Arowitz, cheerfully posed for
photographe rs before No . 634,
the 7:38 a.m . train pulled out
for the ~Jadison St. depot .
The men are being shifted to
other runs.

has petitioned the Circuit court
to overturn the refusal of the
Skokie zoning board of appeals
to allow construction of homes
on two "small" lots in the
village_
Both parcels are located in
R-1 single family zones where
a lot must have a frontage of
at least 55 feet and an area of
6,600 square feet.
One lot, at 8433 . Kimball,
has a frontage of 30 feet and
is 123 feet deep. The other lot
is at the northeast corner of
Emerson and Kilbourn and has
a frontage of46 feet on Emerson
and 124 feet on Kilbourn.
The zoning board denied a
variation for the Emerson lot
in October and did the same for
the one on Kimball in July,
to the lawsuits
according
prepared by the law firm of
Arvey, Hodes, and Mantynband.
In both cases, the plaintiff
contends the decisions were
unsupported by any evidence
arbitrarily ignored the
and
power of relief the zonrng
board has.
The zoning board has authority
to grant variations in such
cases when the owner furnishes

�CALLING ALL CARS
by ALBERT G. COLLINS
Member, Skokie Fire and Police Commission
Albert G. Collins
This signal , in years gone by , often meant children were
playing "cops and robbers" or that someone was listening to that
old radio favorite , "Gang Busters".
To a policeman, however these calls hold a far different ,
more sobering meaning.
They may mean a fugitive is at large in YOUR neighbor-hood, or ·something equally terrifying . .. . . Terrifying , that is , to
all except the law enforcement officer, to whom the day-to-day job
of keeping the peace has been entrusted. To him , it may be
routine. But, you ask , how can PERIL ever be a matter of routine?
,
\
Doesn't the policeman feel anxieties at the possibility of
having to "gun" a man down? Indeed , he does! Doesn't he get
·sick at the sight of a small child victimized by a hit--and--run
driver? You bet he does! In fact , he feels every tension involved
in discharging his duty that you or I would feel. Just ask him
sometime .
BUT , he has pledged himself to the defense of his com-
munity .
His commitment to you and to me spells our a greater
safety for our families and friends and also a greater peace
of mind .
He deserves the respect of those he protects!

The population of our country is 170,000,000.
There are 72,000,000 people over 60 years old,
leaving 98,000,000 to do the work. People under
21 total 54,000,000 which leaves 44,000,000 to
do the work. Then there are 21,000,000 employed
by the Government. That leaves 23,000,000 to do
the work. But there are 10,000,000 in the Armed
Forces, which leaves 13,000,000 to do the work.
Deduct 12,800,000, the number in state and city
offices, and that leaves 200,000 to do the work.
There: are 126,000 in hospitals, asylums, etc.,
and that leaves 74,000 people to do the work ...
but 62,000 of those are bums or others who will
not work, so that leaves 12,000 to do the work.
Now it may interest you to know there are 11,998
people in jail, leaving just two people to do all
the work ..... and that is you and me. And I
might add friend, I'm getting sick and tired of
doing everything by myself.

After I had written last weeks column on
safety belts I found an article on automobile
safety in France. For years I blabbed about the
dangerous hood ornaments on our cars, and the
dangerous projections on our dashboards. Now
the French Government has ordered that all
bumps, hooks and projections on automobiles
must be taken off by July 1. Fancy statues
sticking forward off the radiator, backing lights
that jut out - all those fancy little things that
could poke a hole in a pedestrain must come
off. Projecting door handles must be eliminated.
Dagmar-shaped pro j e ct ion s must come off
bumpers. Sharp knobs must be removed from the
dashboard, and any other projecting knobs must
come off or be rounded so they won't hurt in
case of collision or sudden braking. And there
is talk of making the big, bulbous American cars
leave their Dagmars at the border.
Here are some figures that may (or may not)
interest you: In 1958, 385 mountain climbers
lost their lives, 300 hunters were killed, 600
small plane pilots died, 650 persons lost their
lives in 1958 in water sports, and 37,000 died
in accidents on the American highways. Those
figures are for 1958 only. Yet, since 1927, 176
persons have lost their lives in auto racing.
Mike Hawthorn, the great 1958 driving champion
of the world, said just three weeks ago that
driving on the highway was far more frightening
than driving in competition. A week later, at
age 29, he died -on the highway.
If I'm in town on March 3rd I'm going to attend
a meeting and hear a speech. According to a
Villager headline, the big event of the affair
will be, "Ernest Anderson Rotary Speaker"
I've heard all kinds of speeches, but one by a
rotary speaker should be most unusual.

A _t_ n_ _ y
Head Skokie 's United Party
The Morton Grove Action
Party &nnounced its candidates
today to run for village offices
in the April election.
Heading the list were Police
Jagistrate John 0. Braeseke
and Richard T. Flickinger.
Braeseke is running for reelection this year instead of
next year to save the village
the cost of a special election
and to strengthen the Action
Party ticket.
Flickinger, a member of the
joint Zoning Board of Appeals
and Plan Commission, took a
promin ent part in the formation
of the ticket and is a candidate
for trustee.
Other candidates for trustee
are Robert L. Schreiber, Jule
C. Bode and Edward P. Colby.
John T. Kelly, Jr., is the
candidate for village clerk.
Trustees Joseph Rei t er, Luke
Meier and Ray Giese an ·
nounced t hey would not seek
re -election.
Trustee John H. Shea said
he will run for election on a
ticket picked by Mayor J ohn
A.
Koller 's party.
Justice of the Peace John
A. Nordbe rg, Jr., spoke in behalf of Police Magis t rate John
0. Braeseke's plan to run this
April at the Tuesday evening
meeting of the village board
and may have eliminated his
own post as a village judge.
Judge No rdberg's job may be
eliminated because the board
instructed the village attorney
to prepare an o rdinance placing
the Police Magistrate on a
salary basis. Wit h one salaried
judge, concei vably th e board
would ask the fee-paid Justice
of the Peace not to sit in the
village. Both judges said they
were against a salary for a
judge at this time.
For the first time in years, the regular Democratic and Reppublican organizations of iles Township have united behind a
coalition ticket for the Skokie village election April 7.
Marci n ''Scotty'' Krier' s Democratic organization and Art
Simmons' Republicans - along wi th the Independent Republican
club - are sponsoring a threeman ticket which includes:
Jum W. Smith, 8109 Kilpatrick
Ave ., Democr at who has been a
trustee for two years.
Sylvester J. Reese, an independent Re publican who has
be e n a t rustee for eight years.
Sam Samaras, a newcomer to
S k o k i e who has be com e an
official of Simmons' Regul ar
Republican organization.
T he ticket will run as the
Uni ted Party .

by Sheryl Leonard
All those fantasies we once had about being
a female spy complete with belted trench coat
and wide brimmed hat, or becoming a real femme
fatale or a Mata Hari, went down the drain after
reading Boris Morros' account of his ten years
as a counterspy.
The book was informative and interesting.
There is no doubt that Morros performed a great
service to our country.
However, it must take a great deal of courage
to turn over information on an individual with
whom you've spent many months or years together.
These people, whose downfall Morros caused,
were degenerates intent on causing the destruction of our democracy.
But no matter how low a man falls, some kind
of bond develops through close association.
This may be the reason for so many prolonged
"unhappy marriages."
Anyway, we'd never make a good spy.
People in the automobile business have ,always frightened us a bit. No matter how much
we are convinced that we are· getting a "real
deal" on a car, we're aware of the fact that we
wouldn't know the difference if we weren't.
It's probably 'complete ignorance of the automobile business that puts us automatically on
guard. We even have a little trepidation about
members of our own family engaged in this operation.
However, sometimes you come across an individual who does a great deal to put you at
ease. We mention a man by the name of' 'Whitey.''
We don't even know his last name.

Guess we're just plain paranoiac, suffering
from defosions. One of our latest seizures was
thinking we could take off some time to stay
home and rest.
Rest at home means getting up earlier than
usual; cooking three meals a day instead of one;
helping youngsters with dressing; answering a
million questions throughout the day; sitting on
the floor having a "tea party" with the little
one; listening to and acting as referee for interfamily squabbles; cleaning, sorting clothes shall we go on?
Sure hope when you fellows get home from
"work" you appreciate the "day of rest" your
wife has had.

�NEISON HARRIS:
'TONI BOY'
SKOKIE'S NEWEST
BUSINESS FORCE
BY BETTY NEFF
One of the last of the Horatio Alger heroes
is about to become an important force in Skokie
life.
He is Neison "Wishbone" Harris, who risked
$1,000 in forming the now-famous Toni Company
and sold it four years later for $20,000,000.
That was 10 years ago, and Harris until re·
cently continued to head the Toni firm since its
purchase by The Gillette Safety Razor Company.
He also has operated the Paper Mate Pen Company for Gillette since its acquisition three
years ago, but a few weeks ago relinguished the
presidency. But these established, successful
ventures haven't proved stimulating enough for
the energetic and imaginative Harris.
Harris heads a group of outstanding Chicago
area ,businessmen who are financing construction
of two new super bowling alleys in this com·
munity. One, at Skokie and Foster Avenues,
will boast 64 lanes - 32 lanes on each side with
a concourse down the center. The other, at the
intersection of Oakton, La Crosse and Kirk, will
have 36 lanes. Both will be fully air conditioned,
with automatic pinsetters and restaurant facilities, and large meeting rooms available to community groups. Hlarris envisions them .is Skokie's
"family country clubs."
Who Is Harris?
What sort of man is Neison Harris, and why
is so fabulously successful an executive embarking on this new venture?
At 43. he is a restle:,s dynamo whose ideas
seek expression but who obviously doesn't suffer
from money-hunger.
He's a family man, father of three, whose
hobbies are golf, music, and - significantlybowling.
He's an unassuming fellow who was many
times a millionaire by the time he was 33 - all
by dint of his own imagination, initiative and
ingenuity.
He': a man who would never have to work
another day in his life if he had a Farouk com-

plex, but who can't be happy unless he's producing ideas and putting his ideas to work.
Harris apparently inherits his drive from his
father, William, who left a poverty-stricken New
York home at the age of 12 to become a supersalesman in a rather exotic field - peddling pea•
cock feather6. By the time he was 18 he had
founded his own wool-jobbing firm, and by his
mid-20's he had saved more than $1000,000.
After "Wishbone" Harris was, graduated from
Yale university with a major in economics, he
burst on the business world armed with the
brashness of youth, a gift of gab and $5,000
staked him by his father. (He had acquired his
nickname because of an inordinate fondness for
chicken wishbones during his college years.)
1-iarris plunked his $5,000 down for a half interest in "Noma," a struggling little beauty
supply company in St. Paul. His timing was perfect. The firm supplied heating p:ads, curlers,
wave lotions and other products to the beauty
industry and the chemical cold wave had just

Ten space-conscious teen-agers are selling a
map of the moon.
Sho-way, a Junior Achievement company, also
sells such down-to-earth material as maps of
Skokie and Evanston, but its "leader" this year
is a map of the moon.
A "leader" is an advertising gimmick that
attracts buyers according to Neil Siegal, 8207
Keystone Ave., a Nilehi student and treasurer
of Sho-way.
The idea of selling a map of the moon was
conceived by the teen-agers, most of them Niles
and Evanston high school students.
They took the problem to their advise_rs, ex•
ecutives from Rand McNally Corp .. who aided
them in the publishing job .
In addition Junior Achievement also has an
annual Trade Fair to give each company an
opportunity to exhibit its wares.
Sho -way had a booth at the recent fair, held
J an. 31 and Feb. 1 in Chicago, and made an
impressive showin~.
Steve Nison, 4025 Dobson Ave., and Susan
Paul, 4844 Hull Ave., were among those who
helped Sho-way sell its products at the Trade
Fair.
Nison, sales manager of the company, says,
"if we get the support that we should from newspapers, we'll really give our stockholders a
proper dividend."

We are in receipt of a news release from the

Our Satu1day Special
Like the radiant youngsters with whom he
sings, Carlin himself is only in his mid-twenties,
Ile is rt native of County Derry in northern Ireland. Carlin u•as born in the city of Derry,
traditionally famous for one of the great songs
he sings: "The l>erry Air. "
g
The map features a u•eight chart, descriptions
of the moon, and a picture of the moon take,n
through a 36 -inch telescope.
All we can say is, we hope Carlin pronounces
his lyrics deliberately and dis tinctly, because
if you run over that title too fast you're in
trouble.
Sho-way hopes that its biggest sales will be
to elementary schools, according to Arla Goldstein, 5001 Birchwood Ave.
The firm's executive offices are located in
the Evanston Community Center, 828 Davis St.

~IRE~TOR ROBERI QUINN breaks precedent this time by
allowing viewers to attend rehearsals of his coming show, "The
Country Girl." He agrees that our little theatre's paying customers
often get more thrill out of a play by watching the labors of its
birth, and has kindly offered to allow visitors access to rehearsals any Monday, Wednesday or Friday evening at Todd
Hall, 3925 Lunt.
I will be there, too, behind the stage manager's script.

HA YING SPENT a weekend of catching up with correspondence, of investigating the hazy possibilities of dynamiting my
antedeluvian refrigerator (among the first atrocities thrown to•
gether as post-war peace offerings to an appliance-starved public),
of sacrificing my Saturday night shoe-soles to the delightful
intricacies of the Cha-cha, and contemplating the marvels of the
Sean O'Casey autobiographies, I am deep in a night's fireplacegazing
This column's notes have been jotted in many places - but
this one seems best. A roaring fire envokes - such things! Oh, well.

chance to see PTA organizations operated autonomously, with
less encumbering folderol and more concentration on its first
two initials ....
And more frequent exposure to the cavalierly calm and
affable sincerity of one of my candidates for the town's outstanding gentlemen: Joe Abrams .... Or the uords to describe the
"man of distinction" charm of Jim Woodward .... 1he gentle
empathy of Bess ~lalmsley, so visible in her face and in her

NO ONE LOVES you for the sensible things you do. They
respect you, admire you, sometimes envy you - and eventually
rely on you. But when they love you, it's for whimsical inconsistencies and unexpectedly delightful flights of nonsense. Or
maybe it's for the way you have of giving an unconventional
gift, or of reacting in a wholly individual way to things around
you. In any case the consistent habit of being "sensible" is the
least likely of all reasons for being loved.

To Her ... if she's ro montically inclined
(and who isn't), it means Love, Kisses,
Hearts, Cupids & Bows ... a nd of c o urse

DEAR TEEN GIRLS:
This is to only a few of you - the indirect approach of someone who has longed for a chance to have a heart-to-heart talk
about the difference between the "femme fatale" and the real
beauty.
No one appreciates - or investigates the mysteries of cosmetics any more than yours truly. There isn't a· woman alive
who doesn't owe herself and her associates a cosmetic-encouraged
loveliness. But let's not forget, cosmetics have but two purposes: To enhance and to correct.
They were never meant to mask - as some sterile expressions
signify - or to give a sweet young thing the hardened visage
of a burlesque dancer.
Please, darlings, let your blossoming beauty shine through!
It's such a brief and lovely thing, this little while of young
uomanhoud. Later on, you're going to need makeup to cover
time's tracks. Right now you have uhat the rest of us u·ould
give our eye teeth for - the precious glow of youth that no
cosmetic ever can duplicate.
Wear that glow proudly; and if you must help it along, use a
gentle touch. Smile often, and hold your head high - and you'll
be beautiful. That's a promise.
For t250 Steve Weiss is almost certain he can bring the
U.S. boys' table tennis championship to Lincolnwood.
He needs the money to pay
expenses for a trip to Los
Angeles where the table tennis
tournament will be held this
summer.
Steve, 14 and a sophmore at
Nilehi West, paired up with a
Chicagoan earlier this month
to win the national junior team
championship held in Milwaukee.
He has won a number of
trophies in earlier table tennis
play. In 1956 Steve won the
International Boys' Championship in Toronto.
lHe is ranked the number two
boys player in the nation and
is seventh in national junior
circles.
He's rated fourth among
Illinois men in table tennis
competition.
Steve's father, Fred Weiss,
6735 Harding Ave., told the
Villager that he just can't
afford to send his son every-
where even though he's a surefire bet to win.
The elder Wei5s is an accountant for a Chicago firm.
Steve and his father stage
benefit table tennis shows for
local clubs, but they do not
charge for the performances.
Weiss said he has approached
several companies to sponsor
his son but has not been successful.

cooking and is the only restaurant in Nues Township
to feature this new method.
Wesley's is open from 4 p.m. to midnight daily,
12 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday, and from 12 p.m. to midnight
Sunday. There is ample free parking. Because in all
of us there is a tendency to think warmly of the past,
of grandmother's sty le of good Sunday afternoon cooking, the Gladstone brothers are quick to assure you
that in the "Broasted method there has been no sacrifice to the diner's taste appeal and that the Broasted
method in fact seals in the flavorful juices which too
often escape in normal preparation.''
For this week's restaurant feature, we are presenting a complete pictorial story on Wesley's, Dempster
ao:l Crawford, Skokie, and its techniques of food
preparation. For we agree with the ancient Chinaman
who, with brush in hand, made his picture worth a
thousand words.
In our advanced age of moon rockets and manmade moons, it's interesting to note that methods of
food preparation are matching strides with, frankly,
other slightly more glamorous scientific achievements.
Wesley's have introduced the "Broasted" method of

In six minutes, Chef William Toombs will have an order of "Broasted" chicken
for an eager patron. Wesley's "Broaster" is the latest in scientific equipment
that "broils and roasts" at the same time. It injects heat units instantaneously,
sears the chicken, seals in all flavorful natural juices, and prepares chicken that
is done to a golden brown (no batter is used), tender and wonderfully palatable.

Baby-back ribs are popular and this is

says "we still stick with the age-old

"We use baby-back ribs," he said,

�SCOUTING
LOOKS
AHEAD
by JACK SLADE
Vice Chairman, Skokie Valley
District, Boy Scouts of
America
Here, as well as elsewhere in America , Boy Scout Week will be
observed February 7 to 13 . It will mark the 49th anniversary of the organization that
has touched the lives of more than 29,500,000 Americans since 1910. There is hardly
an American family that has not felt its influence.
Today there are more than 4,780 ,000 boys and leaders playing the
"game of Scouting ." Although one of every four boys eight to sixteen years old is
enrolled , leaders of the movement want to serve at least a majority of the boys
in America.
The next five years will see a large increase in boys of those ages .
Today there are 10,000 boys in Cub Scouting , Boy Scouting , and Exploring within the Northwest Suburban Council which administers Scouting in this
area . Within five years , local leaders expect to find 17,000 enrolled.
"Looking ahead for the next five years ," says Dr. Arthur A. Schuck ,
Chief Scout Executive , "we must recognize that never has it been so important or
imperative that the youth of our nation be trained to high idealism , acquired through
unselfish service , by self-reliance, and cooperative effort."
He says that although Scouting's ideals and objectives have remained
constant since 1910, "the program , organization methods, and operating techniques
have changed as a result of study and understanding of changing conditions and as
necessary to meet the n'eeds of a rapidly growing organization."
To bring Scouting to more of the boys who want it will require more
trained leadership and more facilities including camps.
We are confident that the present 4,000 leaders in the Council will
meet the challenge. Happy birthday, Boy Scouts!
The orthwest Suburban Council is an active , participating member
of the Des Plaines , Schiller Park and Suburban Community Chest; the Combined Chest
and Council of Niles Township , and the United Fund of Park Ridge, Inc.

had this to say when I interviewed him two years ago: "Our
studies of s t atewide fatal crashes have disclosed that 43 percent
of the de aths in Indiana occurred in survivable conditions. Our
investigators considered t hem to be survivable because collapse
of the vehicle was not the cause of death. The fatality occurred

"We have had six patrol vehicles involved in collisions
(some of them to tally demolished) and in no instance was a
Trooper hospitalized. In every instance the patrolman was using
a safety belt. ''
by ART HELLYER
I concluded last week's column with a statement by
Roy Campanella concerning automobile safety belts. Campy was
in another accident a couple of weeks ago and he was the only
one who came out uninjured. He was also the only one in the
car wearing a safety belt.
1 first installed safety belts in our car in 1948, and
over the years we have put them in every car we've owned. Our
children are so well trained they won't even ride to the garage
without putting them on, and we never pull away from the curb
until each of them has given us the O.K.
Four years ago I was coming in from Lake Geneva for
my early morning show when I had a blowout. I never drive over
sixty-five, even on open dual expressways, so this particular
morning I was doing exactly sixt y-five when the tire blew . The
car flew across the road into the oncoming lane, which was
empty (thank Heaven) this early in the day. Normally I would
have been thrown clear across the font seat and never would have
regained control of the car. Thanks to the safety belt I stayed
right where I belonged and guided the car to a bumpy halt. This
is just one instance where a safety belt saved a life or certainly
sav ed a person from serious injury.
How often around town at fifteen or twenty miles an hour
have you had to make a quick stop ... a stop that has thrown a
youngster against the dashboard? what a wonderful feeling it is
to know that the children are safely strapped in.
The Indiana State Police have been big boosters of
Ove r the years I've had people say, "M y , you must
drive fast . What other reason could there be for having those
belt s?" I don't drive fast as I indicated earlier, and in the case
of our VW station wagon, the top speed was fifty. It has been
found that most automobile accidents happen at less than fifty
miles an hour . And how often have you seen a car that was involved in an accident with all the doors and glass intact and
very few dents in the metal, only to be told that two or three
people died in that car? The reason? They were either thrown
about inside like a grapefruit or thrown out on the pavemen t .
Another objection that has often been voi c ed: they seem
such a nuisance, cluttering the seat and floo r - putting them on
for short trips, w rink 1 in g the clothing. Well, as I see it, the
choice is between a minor nuisance and a cracked head.
Actually, good belts are attractively designed and can
be matched to an interior scheme. They are not hard to put on.
This has been proven by our youngs t ers who start putting their
own belts on at age two. And as fo r wrinkling clothing, first of
all, they don't. And secondly, what if they did? Wouldn't it be
worth it for the protection they give? And the objection I get most
furious about ? Good driv ers don ' t need belts!! BALONEY!! There
is only one person who needs a belt more than that guy - the
guy who rides with him.
Do your family and yourself a lifesaving favor - put
SAFETY BELTS in that car!

BRAESEKE ASKS TO RUN IN APRIL
Plan Board OK's Oakton Shop Center
The Skokie Plan Commission approved the rezoning of
land to the rear of Oakton St.
in an executive session Monday evening.
This paves the way for the
add1tion of a shopping center
of Crawford and Oakton.
The land was zoned B-2
commercial to a depth of about
145 feet north of Oakton St.,
but the rear portion was zoned
R-2 residential.
Joseph J. Hansen & Associates, who proposed the
commercial development, asked
that th e rear portion be zoned
B-2 so that the stores could
be set back and a parking lot
could be established in front.
Before the executive meeting
the Plan Commission granted
the request of Sam F. Rowe,
8907 Bronx Ave., to rezone
from R-3 (two-family) to R-4
(multiple-dwelling) property on
the west side of Bennett Ave.
between the alley south of
Main and Madison Aves.
The Commission denied a
request to vacate the alley
bounded
by Dempster St. ,
Keeler, Enfield and Karlov
Aves.
The request by the Skokie
Board of Trustees that the
Plan Commission amend the
zoning ordinance rules for
setbacks in commercial areas
was postponed for study in
executive session.
Other requests on the agenda were postponed until the
Mar. 2 meeting ·o f the Comm1ss1on.
District 68 to
Ask Bond Issue
The District 68 board of
education says a study shows
"conclusively" that Jane Sten•
son school needs a six-room
addition.
This is in addition to the
proposed junior high school
for the district.
An announcement by Supt.
Wesley F. Gibbs said: "A
referendum will be presented
as soon as specific plans are
drawn to offer the school building program to the community."

Allgauer to Defy
Lincolnwoo d Order
Gustave Allgauer, owner of
the Fireside restaurant, said
he would defy the Lincolnwood
village board's condemnation
order against his property.
Allgauer told the V ill a g er
he was ''shocked'' at the board
action.
Owner of a chain of quality
restaurants, Allgauer said he
was angry be c ause no one in
the village administration had
bothered to tell him of the proposed condemnation order.
At a Jan. 15 meeting of the
board, the village attorney was
instructed to drav, up a condemnation ordinance.
Trustee Marvin Schmidt of
the Building Ordinance committee told the board the cafe
. hulk was dangerous.
At the meeting Mayor Henry
A. Proesel said, "not only
is it a terrible eyesore but the
loose beams and joists in the
structure constitute a dangerous
hazard for our children.''
Allgauer said, "I' 11 fight
this order all the w~y. If they
(the village board) want to act
· this way, they're only making
trouble for themselves.
"I'm sure if they had talked
to me about it, we could have
settled the matter."
Allgauer admitted the building was not structurally perfect.
"But it isn't going to fall
down
tomorrow," he said.
''The Fireside is an old building, put together by craftsmen
who knew what they were
doing.''
He said the building is always guarded by watchmen and
children couldn't enter.
"I've had a 24-hour guard
there since last May,'' Allgauer
said.
"As for being an eyesore,
it made my heart sore when it
burned down. I' 11 fix it up or
tear it down when I'm ready.
Good workmen don't come out
in sub-zero weather.''
Allgauer said he would wait
until he received an official
notice before giving the matter
to his attorneys.
Village building inspector
Ray Thomas said he has made
numerous inspections of the
restaurant, one as recently as
a few days ago.
Thomas said children might
be able to sneak into the back
part of the restaurant while
watchmen were in the front
part.
The Fireside restaurant was
destroyed by arson May 15.
The reason for burning the
restaurant has not been disclosed, but the theory is that
racketeers
destroyed it to
silence Allgauer who reportedly
"cooperated"
with
Senate
Rackets Committee investigators.
Mayor Vetoes Glen-Golf;
Pic ks Dr. Schlitter Over Lutz
The Morton Grove village
board adjourned abruptly Tuesday evening after three sur·
prise actions:
I. It voted to reconsider
Mayor John A. Koller' s veto
of a board action the previous
week awarding the garbage con tract to Glen-Golf Disposal
Service and then failed to
reconsider or again vote on the
on the matter.
2. It instructed the village
attorney to draw up an ordinance providing for the election
of the police magistrate in an
ordinary
municipal election
rather than a special election .
3- Astounded at Mayor
Koller's appointment of Dr.
Russell E. Schlieter as chairman of the Plan Commission
and Zoning Board of Appeals
instead of Robert R . Lutz, the
nominee preferred by some of
the trustees, it adjourned.
In a jammed meeting with
more than 200 visitors present,
Mayor Koller announced his
veto from a prepared statement.
The Mayor said he was
vetoing the board's action of
last week because Leyden
Disposal Company intends to
file suit against Morton Grove
for not awarding the con tract
to Leyden, the lowest bidder.
Mayor Koller said that Leyden
met all requirements asked in
the bidding and should receive
the award.
He presented a lis t of figures
showing it would cost the
village considerably less to
operate its own garbage disposal service.
Trustee Joseph Reiter offered
a motion to reconsider the veto.
It passed, 5· to-l, with trustee
John Shea voting against.
Anxious to move on to other
matter s, the trustees forgot to
reconsider or vote on reawarding
the contract to Glen-Golf.
Police Magistrate J oho 0.
Braeseke explained his urgent
request for an ordinance permitting the office of police
magistrate be open for the
general municipal election on
April 21. Braeseke offered to
terminate his period in office
this year so that he wouldn't
have to run 10 an off-year
election.
Braeseke said the village
would save about $4,000 by
adopting his ordinance.
The board instructed the
attorney to draw up an ordinance
similar to Braeseke' s.
In another important action
which caused the adjournment
Mayor Koller announced the
appointment of Dr. Sch litter
as chairman of the Plan Commission and Board of Appeals.
Asked by the trustees to
explain why he selected Dr.
Schlieter, Mayor Koller said,
"I wanted to appoint somebody
so I picked him, that's why .
It's my prerogative and I don' t
have to explain why.''
Trustee Reiter criticized the
Mayor for not taking the
trustees into confiden ce.
Trustee David A. St. Pierre
said he thought the Mayor
named a chairman with the
approval of the trus t e e s. Village
attorney John Moser interjected
that the Mayor alone picked the
chairman.
Trustee St. Pierre moved
for adjournment but
Mayor
Koller pounded his gavel asking
the trustees to remain because
there was more work to consider.
The trustees left.

Some people said it couldn't
be done! They said the Trojans
couldn't do it. But they did.
They won themselves a Suburban League basketball game.
The Nilesmen whipped the
Oak Park Huskies 58-51 last
Saturday on the Trojan court.
The day before, the Trojans
had succumbed to the Highland Park Little Giants 67-60.
Ron Lis and Bill Reading
were high scorers in the HP
game with 13 points each.
The Trojans jumped to a
19-11 first quarter lead which
they never relinquished, but
they gave up six of their eight
point lead in each of the next
two periods. In the final
quarter, the• Trojans really
went "to town" and outscored
their opponents 17-12 . Clutch
baskets by Jim Dahlman and
Reading helped to put the victory on ice late in the quarter.
Top scorer for the Trojans
was Bill Reading with 21
points, 16 of which came in
the first half.

We like hats on men - particularly Homburgs.
This all may be something connected with our
advancing years, but the bare-headed Adonis
doesn't cause as much of a reaction as the behatted, professional looking intellect.
For years, the male of the species have been
getting away with their so-called casual dress.
All this time, we females have seen to it that
our colors were in coordination; that we always
wore white gloves, and that whenever appro·
priate, a seasonal bonnet perched on our head.
They say that u·omen dress for other U'Omen.
Personally, we'd rather catch a male's eye than
a woman's comment. Generally, women do try to
dress for their sisters .
For whom does the male dress? Certainly he
must look good for other men in business and
we're even more certain he wants to cut a dashing figure in his social life.
This is no pitch for men's shops. It's just
that if we females have to be constantly on the
alert to be "lovely to look at," we'd like the
men in our life to present a reasonable facsimile.
Perhaps if they start paying more attention to
their attire, they'll have a better appreciation
of what we women go through.
Don't blame us if we happen to like Billy
William's latest hit disc, "Nola." There's a
line in there that goes, "Sugar '/Ii spice and
everything nice . .. "
Last week's poem was written by us for a
special friend. Comes a cute note from another
friend, the golden haired lovely, Florence Shor,
who tells us: "I may not hold your hand, my
friend, but bet your bottom dollar -If anyone
picks on you, I' 11 be the first to holler!" Thanks,
ol' buddy.
Oh for the life of a modern housewife. Instead
of just shopping for vittles, the little woman
can shop, deposit her groceries in a cabana,
and go in for a swim.
That seems to be the contention of an outfit
that intends to erect a combination shopping
plaza, swimming pool, ice skating rink and
fashion boardwalk at Harlem and Dempster Sts.
Instead of "Meet me at the supermart," it' 11
be, "Meet me at the pool, I have to shop for
dinner.''
We can't guarantee that mom will ever get
home on time to make that dinner, but what a
time she'll have shopping.
With apologies to Harry Golden, this could
happen "Only in America:" Dean Ceithaml of
the University of Chicago School of Medicine
took time from a busy schedule to phone a
mother informing her that her son was one of 72
selected from students throughout the country
to attend their school - and that as much finan• '
cial assistance as possible would be given in
order to have a student of this calibre attend
the school. All right, so we're bragging.
The camera catches the eyes of some of the members and guests
at a recent party given by the Niles Township Democratic
\~omen's Club.
If one places his _ greatest faith in God .....
Then he's living as best he can ..... For some•
how our faith can become abused . .... If we
place it only in man . .... For man is only mortal
..... And gi.ven to changes of mind . .... Only
His love remains unchanging . .... Only His
heart is constantly kind . . . .. So if ever there
is some anguish . .... At hurt that• s done to you
..... Remember man is prone to human frailty
..... And only God can see you through.

Love's Independenc e i1all before embarking on
their great adventure.
by BETTY NEFF
FREE TOUR OF
Forty-three kids are about to take the jaunt
of their lives because of one man's devotion to
the American heritage.
The kids are seventh and eighth-graders m
public and parochial schools in Niles Township
and in nearby areas of Chicago. They are the
ones who will be named winners in an essay
contest which, when it was begun three years
ago, was greeted with suspicion and which now
draws more than 2,000 entries each year.
The man behind the contest is Sidney L. De
Love, whose devotion to America and its history
has permeated his business, as well as personal,
life. De Love is president of the Cook County
Federal Savings & Loan association at 2720
Devon Avenue in Chicago. His company's building i s a replica of In dependence Hall in
Philadelphia, and it is crammed with historical
mementos.
De Love feels that America's strength is seeping away through apathy, materialism, and failure
of adults to teach children the old-fashioned
virtues.
Many other people feel this way, De Love
pointed out, but that's as far as it goes. De Love
has dedicated his life to doing something about
it.
Contest Draws Suspicion
ALASKA FOR
PATRIOTIC PAYOFF
sickens you to have people always say or think
that there must be something selfish or ulterior
in your motives.
"We have gotten away from the fact that one
can simply do something because he sincerely
believes in it."
This year, however, with the third annual contest under way, recognition has come from high
places. Rep. Charles A. Boyle of Illinois has
the U.S. House of Representatives' commendation to De Love and his "Independence Hall
association" for the national spirit the contest
inspires.
Winners of the current contest - one from each
of the 43 eligible schools - will enjoy an eightday, all-expense trip by Northwest Airlines to
Alaska.
"This is a trip to greet our newest state into
the union," De Love said. "The students will
take part in history."
Subject of this year's essay is "What the Flag
Means to Me," with a March 16 deadline. Winners
will be announced early in April. Judges will
be selected from among civic leaders, editors
and teachers.
What does De Love hope to accomplish?
"We have forgotten that democracy in this
country will only be lost by our own doings,"
he asserted. "It will not be conquered from
without, but by the ungrateful sons within, just
as all great civilizations have been. Our real
crisis is our own complacency and negligence
and desertion of our responsibility as citizens.
"We have gotton to the point where we don't
know what history is. When 10 kids - eighth
graders - tell me Independence Hall is in Washington, I know that Americanism isn't taught any
more.
"We've drifted far from the original concept
of America - far to the bad. With all the government bureaus, the citizen has given up his
sovereignty to the politicians, and why? Because we worship materialism. The•man who has
Three years ago he conceived the idea of an
essay contest with a patriotic theme. Prizes

of American independence - Va I I e y Forge,
Gettysburg, Independence Hall, Williamsburg,
The project cost De Love some S40,000 the
first year, but it was greated with a fishy eye
by many persons, including teachers, who felt
De Love must be profiting personatly in some
way they couldn't put their finger on.
"People would say, 'Who's giving the money?'"
De 'Love snorted, "as though we were getting
it from Joe Stalin."
Others have pointed out, "Look at the publicity you get with this."
"We spend from S50,000 to S75,000 a year on
this contest," De Love declared, "and in three
years I' ve had one man open an account as a
result of it. If we wanted accounts, I'd give
away free ball point pens and jam the place. It
43 YOUNGSTERS
a million bucks is looked up to - character and
honesty aren't important."
It's De Love's conviction that love of country
must be taught, and that a knowledge of American
history is indispensable to good citizenship.
He feels that bringing youngsters face to face
with American shrines gives history an immediacy
that can't be acquired in textbooks.
"Kids who have gone on our first two trips
write us to say they have taken their parents
back with them for subsequent visits," he said.
"They' fl never forget the fee ling of participation
in history uhen they stand before Washington's
tomb, walk over the battle fie ids, or stand in front
of the capitol.
"You're not born a Catholic, Jew or Protestantand you're not born an American, either. You
have to be taught. Let the schools teach Americanism and you won't have to worry about
Communism."
Previous Winners Thrilled
Some of last year'·s winners - seventh graders
then, eighth graders now - would like to try to
win in the current contest, too, but De Love has
ruled them ineligible.
Kathleen Cashatt, an eighth grader at Niles
public school and daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Robert G. Cashatt of 7034 Monroe, Niles, is one
who would like to have entered because her
earlier trip so impressed her.
I' 11 remember it for the rest of my life," she
told the Villager. "It was just wonderful. It
btough t out a lot of the little points in history
that you couldn't learn from books. Seeing Independence Hall and the White House were about
the best.''
Others who would plan to enter again were
they eligible include Steve Spilberg, eighth grader
at Lincolnwood public school and son of Mr. and
Mrs. Louis Spilberg of 731 S Kedvale; Wendy
Grossman, East Prairie school, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. David Grossman of 7448 Kedvale; and

of Mr. and Mrs. Edward M. Hensley Jr. of 4~12
Suffield court, Skokie.
Wendy had never been on a train before last
year's trip. "You read about things in history
books, but it's so much more interesting and
en joy able when you see it yourself," she said.
''It sticks in your mind. I really marveled at some
of the places; I never believed they were that
pretty and that nice to see."
Nancy said she saw "a lot of exciting things,
butlthink Gettysburg is the one I remember best.
It made history more real to me." She, too, had
never been on a trip before.
Among last year's winners who now are freshmen in high school are Claudia Kusek, Paul
Brietzke, Michael Scott, Diane Simons, Jan ice
Kreiner and Mike Stavy. Each has his own special
memory of the journey.
Claudia, daughter of the Matthew J. Kuseks
of 8415 Kedvale, was a winner from St. Lambert's
school. She particularly liked seeing Monticello
"and the houses where famous men lived."
Claudia plans to become a teacher.
Paul, a winner from Niles public school, is
the son of the Wi 11 i am H. Brietzkes of 7035
Michael, son of the R. Jack Scotts of 9435
Drake, was a St. Joan of Arc school pupil when
he won.
"1 of course enjoyed the trip and was glad to
have the opportunity," he said. "I had visited
most of the places before, but every time you
travel you meet new people and see new things.
I would say the highlight of the trip for most of
the boys was going to Annapolis. They were
having a full dress parade and it was very impressive.
"The battlefield at Gettysburg was wonderful,
too. They have a shop and in the back there is
a room which has a most amazing thing- a relief
map of the battlefield with blue and red lights
showing the positions of the opposing troops.
As the lights light up, you can follow the soldiers'
advances and retreats."
Michael, who says he holds a "definite interest"
in history, intends to be an archaeo{ogist when
he grows up.

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis J. Simons of 8231

1-lamlin, said she probably never wouldhave gone
on such a trip if she hadn't been a contest
winner. Her winning essay was in verse, and it
has stimulated her to continue writing poetry.
''The trip was so wonderful,'' she smiled. ''It
was an experience I' 11 never forget.''
J an ice, formerly of St. Martha's school in
Morton Grove, lives at 9101 Major, Morton Grove,
with her parents, the Roy J. Kreiners. Highlight
of the trip for her was "the friends I made - l 1 m
still writing to them.''
Janice "never really did like history" until
the trip, ''but after seeing those places and
learning why our forefathers did the things that
they did, it really makes me get more out of
studying it."
Mike, son of the Samuel Stavys of 6529
Monticello and a former Lincolnwood pub Ii c
school pupil, said he was most impressed by
"how nice the city of Washington looked."
"The Smithsonian Institution was pretty neat,"
he opined. "The whole trip made history seem
more real. Now when I see something in the newspaper about any of the places we visited, I read
it. Before, I would just skim over it."
All Aboard for Alaska
The 1959 contest winners will leave April 26
and return May 5. Their itinerary includes stops
at Juneau, where they will received by the new
state legislature; Fairbanks; Anchorage, and
McKinley National Park where they will see Mt.
McKinley, highest point in North America.
A side trip will be a flight over the Arctic.
''Why, we might even fly over Russia,'' De
Love said. (At one point, the Al ask an and
Russian borders are only a few miles apart,
across the Bering strait.)
The winners will be accompanied by several
civic leaders who will serve as chaperones, plus
a doctor and registered nurse.
Local radio stations in Juneau, Fairbanks and
Anchorage will present special programs in their
honor, and the group will be official guests of
new state.
Next year's contest winners will return to
Washington and other eastern historic spots.
Seeing the places where America's founding
fathers established this democracy is De Love's
real goal for his young essayists.
"I've had people say to me, 'What do you want
to go to Gettysburg for? Why not go to Miami?'"
he says indignantly. "People will drive within
five miles of Gettysburg and never stop - they' re

"When we get to that point and the nation

it.''
So after this year the contest winners will go
back to first principles and first places, with
one possible exception.
''I suppose when Hawaii comes into the union
we'll have to go there, too," De Love mused.

Break in
Ten vacant lots on a busy
highway in Skokie have been
rezoned from single family to
multiple dwelling district in
an order signed by Judge
E. Kluczynski 10
Thomas
Circuit court.
The property, owned by Mrs.
Margaret Ellison, of Skokie, is
on the west side of Crawford
between Howa:rd and Dobson.
Judge Kluczynsk.i held the
R-2 single family zoning for
the property was "harsh, arbitrary, confiscatory, and unrelated to the public health,
safety, comfort, morals, and
welfare." The R-4 multiple
dwelling district classification
is the "highest and best use"

�Start Special Education Program
An educational program will
be started in September for
Niles Township children with
severe hearing impairments.
Ch ilcren to be included in this
program will be in the 5 through
12 age group. Those who are
eligible for this service must
have a severe hearing loss
which keeps them from acquiring language naturally.
~fiss Genevieve Drennen,
Assistant to the Director, Division of Education for Exceptional Children, Decatur, Ill.,
met with ~farvin Garlich and the
principals of the Lincolnwood
School district to outline a plan
to be followed in setting up the
_ iles Township program so the
district may be eligible for
state reimburse men t .
In the past, the children of
1'.Jiles Township had to be sent
on a tuition basis to special
classes in Evans ton or Chicago.
T ui tion to these classes has
been high and t he re was always
the chance a tuition student
might not be accepted. For
these reasons the school districts in Niles Township felt
the need to establish their
•
own program.
I t is planned to locate this
facility at Rutledge Hall in the
Lincolnwood School distric t.
The program will serve two
groups of children. Primar y
age children will spend their
mornings in the room . Intermediate age children will be
accommodated in the afternoon .
During the time children are
not in the special class they
will be placed in regularclasses according to appropriate
chronological age and academic
achi evement, as is any school
chil d.
21
TH E VILL AGE R
February 5 , 1959
~frs . Lillian Cutler will teach
these children. She had her
special training at Central Institute for the Deaf and has
worked in a program for children with impaired hearing in a
St. Louis suburban school.
During the spring , special
equipment and books will be
ordered for these classes by
~fr. ~foody, business manager
of the Lincolnwood schools.
The. cost of these materials
will be absorbed by the various
districts in the township cooperating in the program.
A meeting will be called of
parents whose children may be
eligible to attend the classes .
O tological reports and other
medical records must be secu red before a child can be
placed.
During the spring, Miss Drennen also hopes to return to
talk to nurse s and speech
therapists about s e 1 e ct in g
children for referral into this
kind of program. She will also
give an orientation to all faculty members of the Lincolnwood School next fall. This is
important as all regular teach -
ers in the Lincolnwood School
may be dealing with a deaf
child in her regular classroom.

THE TIC
Upon entering the foyer of Tally- Ho,
guests are confronted with a bas relief
of galloping horses i:,ulling an English
coach of merry- making holiday travelers.
This brings to attention that the
origin of "Tally-Ho" was a "fast day
coach which bega n o _rera tions in 1823
between London and Birmingham . ' '
Gerry Bringman, manag':'r of Tally- Ho,
has been one of Evanston's popular
restaurant host for the last seven years .
He has done more than present a fine
menu, for he has maintained the period
of leisurely dinning accompanied by
an atmosphere of pleasant painting's,
dioramas, and numerous antique pieces .
The main dinning room, painted in
the traditional g reen of the theater's
"green room," has on one wall a 70
foot canvas mural of a country side
scene painted by Chicagoan Pauline
Graff Little.
On other walls are displayed dioramas
(three dimensional scenic representations) by R . G . Rodelle . These have been
described by the American Weekly as
the "very best in the world . "
Some are of birds , fish, and animals hand carved and painted in minute detail- placed against a background hand
painted in oils. Others are realis t ic
scenes of early American life.
Gerry began his ow n collections of
painting and antiques "$ome 15 or 20
years ago'' and today shares his findings
with the guests of Tally- Ho. Some of
his paintings, which are changed monthly,
are displayed in the "patio room."
Among his antiques are candelabra,
some dating to the l 700's , made of

mtDAS•:
A survey taken by the U.S.
chamber, "What New Industrial
Jobs /'-.lean to a Community'',
points out that 100 industrial
jobs, such as those at RCL,
result in the creation of 74
additional jobs dsewhere in
the community; $767,000 more
personal income tax per year;
an increase of $351,000 in
bank deposits; establishment
of four new retail stores; an
increase of $468,000 in retail
sales annually; the establishment of 112 new households;
and 296 new residents in the
community.

These are but a few of the

the growth of the community.
In 1958, RCL completed two
additions which almost tripled
the size of the original plant increasing it from 6400 square
feet to 18,600 - and added 30
employes to its staff.
Incoming orders in the second
half of 1958 were 52 % higher
1 than the corresponding period
in 1957. For the enti're year,
incoming orders were $2.1
million - 38% above 1957.
"The energy and enthusiasm
of ~kokie residents which has
contributed so greatly to the
amazing ·growth of the community
has also contributed to RCL' s
rapid gro'wth,'' Wakefield said.
"In turn, we at RCL have
done our best to aid the
community," he added, "both

COMMUNITY CHEST IS THREATENED!
Oil Blast Kills One
One man died Monday as the
result of injuries suffered in an
oil fire and explosion at the
Hughes Oil company s torage
yard, 3 349 Howard St., Skokie.
The dead man was William
Betke of Palatine. He was
taken to St. Francis hospital,
Evanst on, shortly after the fire
started Sunday morning. Doctors
at the hospital said Betke had
first- , second- and third-degree
burns over 50 per cent of his
body.
Fire Chief Edwar d F. Steek
estimated damage at $250,000
for the l-lughes Oil company,
a subsidiary of Sinclair Refining Company.
Chief Steek said he assumed
that Becke was si tting in his
truck wit h t he mo tor running
when a spark from the mo tor
ignited the oil causing the ex•
plosion. However, Chief Steek
said several witnesses told him
he was near the loading plat form.
In any event Betke was cov•
ered with flaming oil by the
explosion. Co-workers rolled
him in snow, putt ing out the
fire. Chief Ste e k said the first
call to the fi re d e par t m e nt
asked for help fo r a "man on
fire."
Betke's oil truck was being

Contract
A packed Morton Gr o v e
village board meeting vo ted to
retain Glen-Golf Disposal Co.
for two more years on Tuesday
evening.
In a s tormy session in which
more than 175 visitors jammed
the meeting hall Glen-Golf was
retained with only trustee John
Shea voting agains t trustee
Joseph Reiter' s proposal.
Vital Agencies in Danger;
Eleventh Hour Appeal Sunday
The Villager cover this week makes one of its rare departures
from standard format. No rmally we try to feature interesting persons in our. community.
But this week we have attempted to portray, through artist Sam
Brown's brush and pen, a deplorable situation.
The Niles Township Community Chest is in danger. The danger
is immediate. It is real. It is heartbreaking.
These are the facts:
The Chest campaign was organized months ago. It's aim: to
provide all, or most, of the funds for six agencies. These are:
The Boy Scouts, the Girl couts, Family Service, Orchard School
for Retarded Children, Niles Township Safety .Council, Niles
Township Human Relations Council.
These agencies all are most deserving of support . No one
questions this fact.
If you need an example, you have but co take five minutes of
your time some day to visit Orchard chool, which gets from the
Chest virtually all its operating funds except those which paren t s
of pupils can contribute.
Mayor John A. TColler asked
the vote that Leyden Disposal
Service be assigned the bid
because it would save the village more than $10,000 over
the contractual period.
(CONTINUED ON P A G E 25 )
Trustee
Edwin F. Brice
received an ovation when he
announced his vote saying, "I
don't think good service should
be rewarded by firing
him
(Glen-Golf)."
You will see pitifully afflicted youngsters, their brains damaged beyond repair, stumbling, groping, grappling with the
problems of infancy. Only they are not infants. And they will
never solve the problems.
A child suddenly passes out in a fit of epilepsy. You find that
this happens six or seven times a day. She must be watched constantly, lest a fall kill her. Another ... this one is a boy in his
teens . .. wanders aimlesslywith a tray in his hands ... He does11't
know how to put it down because he cannot judge the distance
between his hands and a table or floor ... fie may walk into the
wall.
There these unfortunate children are: some grotesque, some
uncontrollable, some sweet - but all of them living, as they will
live forever, an eternal babyhood.
And beside each child is an always-patient, always-careful,
always wise and solicitous guardian who must guide and teach
and protect her charge every second.
Glen -Golf had bid $1. 10 per
home per month. Leyden bid
99 cents.
A large group of home owners
were present at the meeting
to speak in behalf of GlenGolf. First to speak from the
group was Thomas J. Flynn,
past president of the Southeast Property Owners Assn.
Firemen figh ting fire at /lughes Oil Co . last Sunda y poured tons
of water on the oil fire . The buckled storage tank may be seen
in background.
Letters were also presented
from the 1-foward Community
Assn. and the Eldorado Estate
Civic Assn.
Street Crew Snowed Under? Not Quite
In the recent snow storms
the Skokie superintendent of
streets received phone calls
from complaining citizens in
a definite pattern.
Bernard Hohs, superintendent
of streets, said the first calls
came immediately after the
snow fall.
The first calls . Hohs listed
in the "when are you going
to plow my street?" category.
Next on the list was the
"your men plowed snow around
my car. 1-Jow do you expect
me to get to work?''
The third series asked,
"when are you going to clean
up my sidewalk ... I pay taxes
and I think ... "
Fourth were calls asking
when the alleys were going
to be cleared.
Finally, were calls demanding
when the garbage was going
to be picked up.
The street department used
26 pieces of equipment during
the most recent of the snow
storms, from Jan. 21 to Jan . 25.
Fifty-two men from the
street and refuse department
worked 438 overtime hours to
(CONT I NUED ON PAGE 28)
If you witness this monumental work of kindness - and see
the i mm ea s u r ab 1 e benefit these helpless children derive
from it - and do not come away with a lump in your throat, you
are made of much sterner stock than the editor of this publication.
For here is sheer goodness: an every-day, living reality in
Niles Township. Surely those responsible for this precious thing
at Orchard School are blessed.
And who is responsible? You are, as surely as those patient
teachers and their helpers at Orchard School - if you have been
generous to the Community Chest.
The need of the other agencies which benefit perhaps can not
be so dramaticially documented, but they, too, are vital to the
township and must be supported. The Scout movements guarantee
the perpetuation of all that is dear to those who love their
country . We must support the Scouts if for no other reason than
that the development of true citizenship in our youngest citizens
is a matter of enlightened self-interest.
The Human Relations Council and Family Service are havens
for those of us who suddenly find our lives, our families, our
values torn apart. The Safety Council protects us - from our•
selves, as well as others.
Yes, all this must be done. But will it? Norman Schalk, president of the Community Che st, reports that in all the mon ths that
the Chest campaign has been underway only ~65,000 has been
collected. This, from an original goal of ~120,000.
Snow plow in action, cleaning out parking area in front of Heidi
woman's apparel shop, 3455 Dempster St.
He, Lincoln Shonkwiler, the general chairman, and Myron
Greisdorf, the residential chairman, say the campaign is in danger of disintegration. The reason: pure unconcern.

Dons Beat
Lake Park
The Dons of Notre Dame
boosted their erratic season's
record to nine and seven Sat.
night by a 59 to 5 ~ victory
over the Lake Park Lancers ·
a No t re Dame.
The Dons sophomores kept
pace with the varsity by defeating t he Lancer sophomores
39 to 29.
Notre Dame coach Don Nie,
handicapped by squad injuries,
was forced to start the game
with four guards in the cen te r.
The scoring for No tre Dame
was spread throughout the
squad: John Bordes and Mike
Donoven hi t fo r eleven points
each; Dennis McMahon, John
Schramm and Jay Busscher
scored t en point s.
High score fo r the evening
was the Lancers' fo rward Chuck
Reedes wit h 25 point s.
The Dons will go i nto battl e
twice this weeken d . F ri. night
a t St. Procopius and a home
game Sat. against thei r t raditional rival, Gl enbrook.
Due to a complete second
half collapse, the Niles Trojans lost to fhe Waukegan
Bulldogs 72- 54 last Friday in
the Nilehi gym. Twenty-four
hours later the Trojans were
defeated by Proviso East 67-46
in the Maywood gym.
In the Waukegan game, the
Nilehiers jumped to a 14-13
lead at t he end of the first
qua rter and a 32-23 lead at
half. Then the second-half
collapse came.
A bright spot in the game
was the improvement on free
throw percentage. The Nilesmen hi~ on 24 of 38 for 63 per
cent . Jim Dahlman, Ron 1-Ienrici,
Bill Reading, and Ron Lis all
fouled out for the Trojans.
l{igh scorer was Dick Nixon
of Waukegan with 24. Top Niles
scorers were Lis and Henrici
with 10 each .
The Proviso contest went
much the same way. Losing
only by f~u r at in termission,
the Trojans were outscored
35-18 in the second half.
Coach Jack Fabci played
only five men throughou t the
game .
Top scorer was Ed Buchanan
of P~oviso, a junior, with 32
points. Ronnie Lis led t he

Jackson, Smith, Siegel
Midas, Inc., Has
Head Caucus Ticket
Morton Grove
The Skokie Caucus Nominating Convention, at a meeting
Sunday , chose G. Ray Jackson,
Al Smith and Bill Siegel as its
nominees for three village
trusteeships in the April
election.
This is the second slate
to be formed. Former State
Rep. Thomas J. Halpin and the
Independent Democratic Voters
Club have announced a ticket
which includes Halpin , Leo
Sako! and Jack Bocker.
Still to be heard from is the
Regular
Republican organization, the Regular Democratic
organization and the Independent Republicans.
These organizations do not
present
slates under party
labels, as such, but throw
their support behind candidates
of their choice.
Caucus Party spokesmen say
they hope their leaders, J.falpin
and the Regular Republicans
can get together on a common
ticket. A coalition of Martin
''Scotty'' !(rier' s Reg u I a r
Democrats . and Independent
Republicans won the last election, two years ago.
One of the Caucus nominees,
Jackson, was a candidate two
years ago for the Caucus Party,
which ran second, ahead of a
ticket backed by the Regular
Republican organization.
Smith also was a candidate,
but withdrew from the Republican-backed ticket to make
way for Bill Derus, a Caucus
renegade who eventually headed
the GOP-backed slate.
Smith is president of the East
Side Property Owners Assn.
Siegel, a comparative newcomer to politics, lives at
8 306 "J. J.fam lin.
There will be a meeting of
the Caucus Party at Highland
School Sunday at which formal
a pproval of the slate is expected.
New Shop in
Last Thursday was a big day for Skokie Chief of Police William
C. Griffin. He was elected president of the Illinois Assn. of
Chiefs of Police at the group' s annual convention in the Morrison
Hotel, Chicago. "Grif" succeeds Milan Plavsic, chief of the
Park Forest police force. The Skokie lawman was first vice president of the association last }ear, He has been a Skokie policeman
for 25 years - the last 10 as chie (.
Griffin being congratulated here by Quinn Tamm, assistant director of the FB I (left) while William Morris, superintendent of state
police, looks on.
Midas, Inc., t he organization
that has made a national reputation for itself by specializing
in
one product - au tomobile
mufflers - announced the ope n ing of a new shop in Mo rto n
Grove.
Situated at 5610 Dempst er
St., the shop will be under th e
managemen t of Dick Hurwit z.
The Midas organization was
formed only , years ago and
has over 250 independen t
franchised dealerships across
the country.
Midas mufflers are unconditionally guaranteed for t he
life of the car, and a guarantee
certificate , good in any Midas
shop in the country , is issued
to every customer.
The shops resemble only
faintly the average garage.
Instead, they are equipped
with comfortable waiting rooms,
attractively decorated . Chairs,
magazines and hot coffee are
provided to make the customer's
wait pleasant while the muffler
is installed. This wait is only
a brief one, however, fo r Midas
makes t he complet e installation
in 15 minutes, and no appointment is necessary.

commission of his ''thoughts
in the planning stage" for a
California-type innovation of
a community and shopping

Schwinge and his attorney
told the Commission
they
would like to erect one large
retail store to cover 60,000 sq.

Doh!' s Morton 1--J:ouse," a Stineway Drug store that would
cover 20,000 sq. ft., and

A Lincolnwood woman carried her two children through

early Saturday morning.
Mrs. Shirley archer, 6452

Mrs. Archer found the home

Shocked out of her sleep, she

picked up her children, Carl,

them out of the house through
the window.
She awakened her neighbors,
Mr. and Mrs . Omar D. Hassan,

COMMUNITY CHEST
James V. Mancuso, president
of Mancuso Chevrolet in Skokie,
reports that his agency ' s sales
of new cars in the y ear ended
Dec. ~l. rose 17.3% from 1957.
despite a H % decline in industry sales and production
and a 21 % drop in national
Chevrolet Sales.
"The acceptance of the
1959 Chevrolet has been
wonderful and we feel that
sales for 1959 will increase
approximately 20 per cent,"
he said.

Local 713 of the International

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5)
As a last, desperate measure they and other Community Chest
leaders have organized a door-to-door drive on Feb. 1 - "Cleanup Sunday."
They wonder if it is too much to ask: that Niles Township
persons, as individuals, support those selfless agencies which
are devoted to helping others.
Of course it is not too much to ask! Any reader of this publication can pitch in right now by offering to aid in the drive on
"Cleanup Sunday." All you have to do is phone OR 4-2668.
And, if we can't help actively, then the least we can do is give
a little, even a very little, when we're called on Feb. 1.

Danger Ahead!
We are in receipt of the following news release from the PT A
publicity chairman, anent a recent incident that preceded the
village-or-city vote last Tuesday:
PTA POINTS WITH PRIDE
PT A is proud of its part in squelching a recent "smear" attempt
in local politics. PTA, of.course, like the League of Women
Voters, cannot take a stand on any political issue but can only
disseminate information and urge the publir to vote.
The night before the recent election a mimeographed "bulletin"
was widely distributed in College Hill and Timber Ridge, the
two cormnunities of Skokie which are located in the Evanston
School District. The scare sheet tried to persuade voters that
if the city form of government won the election schools would
no longer be in the Evanston system. It spoke of "learning from
good authority in Evanston" without naming that authority. It
mentioned "a movement now under way, reliable sources assure
us" without making known those sources. The message was "vote
against the city form if you want your schools to remain in the
Evanston School District." The bulletin was unsigned.
Within minutes after the "scare" s beet was discovered in
doorways the PT A went into action getting out a mimeographed
refutation (which said, in part):
The schools will not be affected by tomorrow's election ....
regardless of the outcome . ... or how you vote. Your local government has no jurisdiction over the school boundaries or school
districts whatsoever. If you desire additional information, please
phone Mrs. Eitzen at OR 3-5169.
This was promptly distributed to every mailbox in College Hill
and Timber Ridge by 6 dedicated PT A members who trudged
through snow and cold until after 10 p.m . to make sure every
voter would be reached in time.
There is no question but that the "scare sheet" at issue was
ill considered and, instead of affecting the vote in favor of the
village form of government, worked against it. The tactic was
deplorable. We have checked with the Committee to Keep Skokie
a Village, and the others who fought the city plan successfully,
and they likewise disown the maneuver. Chances are, its author
was either a misguided, over-enthusiastic neighborhood worker
or a proponent of the city form who envisioned just such reaction.
Be that as it may, we question the wisdom of the PT A taking
upon itself the burden of disproving the pamphlet. This prerogative should have gone to the Skokie Civic Federation, which
was sponsoring the city form of government.
Residents might well ask: Would these ''6 dedicated PT A
members" have trudged through snow md cold half the night on
behalf of the Committee to Keep Skokie a Village? The Skokie
Civic Federation literature included a statement that "our schools
need protection from irresponsible zoning changes and political
intervention.'' No reasonable person could accept this statement
at face value. Schools were not at issue - and never have been.
The election was strictly a municipal affair. School districts are
sacrosanct.
Yet we didn't see any "dedicated"-or undedicated-PTA
members doing anything about this statement.
The fact is that there is a close alliance between officials of
the Skokie Caucus Party and the officers of a number of school
districts - including the high school district.
One of the ranking leaders of the Caucus Party has openly
urged school boards and PT As to join the party "en masse."
Just two years ago, school children were sent home with literature
urging the election to township office of two persons opposing
the present township administration.
Thus members of the Sharp Corner and Niles Township High
School boards - who also are members or supporters of the Caucus
Party - used their school mailing lists, and our children, as
political tools.
Our schools - and PT As - do indeed need protection from
"political intervention." We suggest that political parties g e t
out of the schools - and stay out.
CONGRATULATIONS IN ORDER
The village of Skokie was singularly honored last week with
the announcement that its police Chief, William C. Griffin, is the
new president of the Illinois _Assn. of Chiefs of Police.
Obviously the 364 chiefs who make up the membership of this
exclusive organization would want only the highest type of police
officer to serve as their president.
His selection thus speaks more for him than any eulogy which
might be offered here.
Griffin has been a Skokie police officer for more than 25
years.:.... 10 of them as chief of the department. He is recognized
not only as an able lawman, but as a public-spirited citizen who
attempts to mold the Skokie force more in the image of a friendly
guardian, rather than a threatening club.
We congratulate him - and Skokie - on this latest honor.

Sunday, Jan. 25, marked the 200th Anniversary
of Robert Burns, the Scottish poet.
In many of the writings of Burns, he articulated
the romance, the patriotism, the compassion of
his native folks. Writing about himself, Burns
says, ''Robin was a rovin' boy.'' And prophetically
he goes on, "He'll hae misfortunes great an'
sma', But aye a heart aboon them a', He' 11 be
a credit till us a', We'll a' be proud o' Robin."
Burns died at the age of 37, yet he 1 e ft a

Never let it be said that an executive board
meeting is dull. At least not when the board
consists of members of the Skokie Valley Business and Professional Women.
Lyda Roberts of Powers Regulator brought
cocktails already mixed. Mitzie Koliba of Cane
Craft Gift Shop in Morton Grove, supplied some
of her exquisite cuisine.
There was little left for us but to roll up a
meat loaf and shout "come and get it."
After the meeting, a few of the s ta 1 wart
characters remained to stretch out on our rug.
The only light in the room the glow from the
fireplace. Court was held with:
Mary Gillette of Gillette Music in Old Orchard;
Jean McCarthy, child psychology teacher; Lyn
Steinert of Wyatt Co.; Carole Hilkin of Hilkrest
Interiors, and Jean Knapp, our lovely president,
and h~ad of Jean Knapp Enterprises.
Female executives "at ease" are like no other
group of women anywhere. What glorious blackmail material one could gather if one were so
inclined.
Remember the good old days of large families?
The only psychology a mother used was a spanking. Yet, we somehow managed to grow up without
psychosis, neurosis, maladjustments, or compulsions.
Today, when father comes home from work, he
has a "play period" with the children. In the
old days, when pa came home (when he did) he
was greeted with a cheerful request to "go kill
'em! I can't take no more."
The terrifying part about the set-up today is
that it is our children who are psychoanalyzing
us. When we go into convulsions of laughter, we
are "inclined to hysteria."
Should we decide to relax at home in a pair of
old jeans instead of dressing up and going out,
we are "regressing - becoming anti-social."
Should we tell the young ones to "get upstairs
and get to bed" in a voice slightly higher than a
whisper (after the third or fourth request), we
are "venting our frustrations on the poor children."

pieces" in chairs created by Laverne, Inc.
The interior designer or decorator and the
home owner who does his own furnishing, will
find that the latest home furnishing market in
the Merchandise Mart had many new and exciting
offerings.
It seems that furnishings this year run the
gamut from ultra-modern to Victorian. The long
heralded, slowly materializing ''return to elegance" seems to have caught up with us at last.
On the ultra-modern side are the '' flower chairs''
in shapes resembling . a tulip or a lotus. These
fluid abstract shapes inspired by nature are
designed by Estelle and Erwine Laverne.
Also in the modem trend are the rattan chairs
and furnishings. A lounge chair, with curved
ox-bow stretcher and flared arms, is one of the
latest of the Ficks Reed collection. The chair,
as well as other pieces in this line, come from
the "Mandalay" collection, a distinctive blend
of crisp American design and Oriental influence.
The ever popular Jens Risom designs, used
by many of our interior designers, features
sweeping, contured lines in sofa and chairs,

Recreation
by
H. 0. GLEISS
President, Board of Park Commissioners
Skokie Park District
Recreation is recognized as an integral part of community
service. It takes its place along with education, health, religion,
and work as an es•
sential process - moulding individual personalitie·s
and creating abundant community living .
Our increasing population , shorter u;ork hours, growing
demands for proper satisfaction of leisure hours , and industrial
growth have all had a tremendous effect for the provision of increa·sed
recreational services.
Wholesome recreation provides opportunities for sociability, physical exercise, and the development of otherwise unused
talents and energies.
The Skokie Park District, a separate taxing unit of local
government under the jurisdiction of the Board of Park Commissioners, has the responsibility of providing park and recreational service·s
to the community .
The park district's two bro.ad functions are:
l. provision of facilities without leadership such as parks ,
picnic areas, tennis courts, athletic fields , playground areas , ice
skating rinks , etc.
2. to offer under professional leadership a well balanced
program of recreational activities such as music, dramatics , athletics, arts and crafts , and social activities.
In our planning, it is imperative that the park district
consider that the services are essential to all the people - not to
only a selected segment of the population. This is fundamental to
the process of democracy.
As the demands for Skokie parks continue to increase
more services will be required and will be provided to assure a joyful participation and happiness through whole some activity.

are easily adaptable in any room. They, too,

A beautiful golf course provides the outdoor

Reversing the usual procedure, the living room

In the winter, the scene outside the Cribari
living room is one of picturesque white beauty.

On the dining room side of the room divider
is a mahogany driftwood finish round table with
cane back chairs. Drawers and cabinets are built
into the divider.
Tall tapering copper wall candleabras are
effective on the off white walls.
A leather topped bridge table and chairs in

From the dining room one enters an enclosed

Single Col or Theme
Within the home, Mrs. Cribari has successfully
demonstrated how a single tone can be effectively
carried throughout the house. Using soft rose
beige as a color theme, she starts by having this
shade in the til~ on the floor of the foyer.
Shaggy wool carpeting in this same soft color
is used in every room of the attractive ranch
house.
A smartly modern so/a in rose beige metallic
cloth occupies one entire wall of the living room,
then arches gracefully out around a corner to end
in front of the tall, room divider planter.
Directly in front of the sofa is a modified "free
form" cocktail table.
One entire wall is used to make up a crab
orchard fireplace with raised hearth. Small narrow
ledges in the crab orchard brick protrude from
the wall holding exquisite porcelain figurines.

In the kitchen, a built-in desk proves an

Skokie Boy Winner in
Cook County Spelling Bee
by ART HELLYER
I'm writing this column from New York and
I thought a few comments on railroad travel
Might prove of interest. Back in World War Two
(that was a long time ago, wasn't it?) I traveled
from one end of the country to the other, and
almost always by train. To say the service was
atrocious is putting it mild. (Or should it be the
adverbial form .... mildly?) During the war the
railroads were undermanned and overloaded, and
I suppose we should be amazed that they even
found time or space to haul we human beings.
Let's face it, without the railroads we never
would have won the big one. So much for the
steam buggies during wartime. What about the
diesels during peacetime?
From the moment I phoned the New York
C entra/ for my reservations until I arrived in
New York City, the word was courtesy .... courtesy .... courtesy. Plus politeness! The railroads know better than anyone that this is the
the battle for survival. It has been predicted
that by 1965 there no longer will be coach
service, and that in 1970 the pu/lmans will be
a thing of the past . Where will that leave us?
\Veil, we'll either fly (our arms will get tired,
won't they?), or "leave the driving to us, and
take the bus". I ho/1e we never see the end of
rail travel because it's still the most fun. In
this day and age when everyone has to get
places in such a hurry, it's refreshing to sit
back on a train and relax. It's still the best way
to see the country, and in the case of a trip to
New York, it's only an overnight run.
And is there anything more beautiful than the
ride along the Hudson River? And the names of
the towns along the Hudson .... Dobbs Ferry,
Tarrytown (Ichabod Crane knew this one better
than anyone), Hastins-on-Hudson, Poughkeepsie
(where my day was born), Hyde Park (where
Sam Schwartz was born*), Peekskill, Chelsea,
Mt. Beacon, Red Hook, Rhinebeck, Catskill.
Such picturesque names and such picturesque
country. And where else but on the Central can
you see the Gerber plant at Rochester? Now
that our fifth youngster has arrived (as reported
in Sheryl Leonard's column) I felt even closer
in the Gerber people. I'm sure we must own
stock in the firm by now. And at Ossining I
felt closer ro my Uncle Louie. In fact he was
only about thirty feet from the train as we
whizzed by. (Ed. note. Sing Sing is at Ossining,
New York)
When I saw the newspaper headline • 'ROCKY
SIGNS" I assumed that Rocky ~Jarciano had
agreed to finally come out and fight. I read the
article and found that it meant Nelson Rockefeller had signed a bill. This is typical of New
York tabloids. On the front page of another one
was the story about the mayor of a town in England. This was front page top center, mind you.
It seems the mayor had himself sculpted for
posterity, wearing nothing but his medal of
office on a chain around his neck. In New York,
this is worthy of the front page. "t-.ly only thought
was, no nudes is good nudes.
I talked to Roy Campanella about thirty
minutes ago. He has a daily program on WINS.
He told me that he surely would have died as
a result of his second auto accident (the one
just the other day) but for the fact he was
wearing a safety belt. The other four occupants
did not have theirs on, and all are still in the
hospital. :-J ext week I'm going to devote my
entire column to safety belts. Sooner or later
they've got to be standard equipment in every
car.
Keith Lencho of 5243 Grove,
Skokie, an 11 year old boy in
the 6th grade at Jane Stenson
school,
has come through
victorious in the first session
of the semi-finals of the Chicl;go Daily News Spelling Bee.
The spelling bee included all
of Cook County Public Schools
outside of Chicago.
Keith was one of the twentytwo boys and twenty girls
participating in this event
which turned into twenty three
rounds of spelling. He cinched
his winning by spelling
"Casserole." Keith won a
watch which was presented by
William R. Etherton , Assistant
Coun County School Superintendent.
Keith is now qualified for
the County Public-Perochial
School finals. This will be
held in April and will be televised on Channel 11.
Young Lencho also does
well in art work. His cartoons
have appeared in the paper of
the company which his father
works. He has done are work
for the teachers and also PT A
posters.
Model railroading also holds
a special interest for Keith.

effecting Illinois
business men were topics of
discussion at a Members Report
of the Illinois Chamber of
Commerce at a dinner-meeting
last Thursday in the International Minerals and Chemicals
Corps. building, Skokie.
David L. ffarrington, chairman of the board of Reuben H.
Donnelley Corp, Chicago, and
president of the Illinois Chamber
of Commerce stated that the
most important problems to
business men are:. ( 1) high
taxes, (2) increased government
spending, (3) inflation,
and
( 4) union domination.
He said that of approximately
i500 billion appropriated by
the last session of Congress,
the greatest portion of it was
directed into subsidies, such
as agriculture.
This continuous deficit
spending, he said, is creating
more and more inflation so that
today the purchasing power of
the dollar is one-half that of
f·farrington, "will cause business men to either knuckle
under or go under. Congress,
so far, has declined to pass
effective laws to curb union
boss es.''
I-le asserted that
sooner or later Congress must
realize that a few men cannot
control the rights of many. "It
is a fight," he said, "that
must be won.''
In summarizing what the
local business man can do to
promote their personal views,
he said: "We business men
regard politics as something
to shun, or leave to others.
When it comes to effective
action, business men can take
a lessor;i from labor."
He stated that business men
can participate in government
by: (1) running for office, (2)
supporting others with time
and money, 0) helping local
political leaders by knowing
them person ally and not waiting until election time, and
(4) informing employees of the
destructive economic forces
of inflation in terms of property
values an d fut u re social
security.
1940.
Harrington said that there
is a great danger of ''national
socialism" and that we must
dispell the theory that "we
can take out more than we put
in; federal expenditures must
be brought within the level
of governmental income.''
"Union domination," said

BLAST

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5)
loaded with No. 5 fuel oil, a
heavy industrial oil for heating,
from an 11, 000-gallon storage
tank. The truck had a capacity
of 3,500 gallons.
The heat from the truck,
which was completely demolished by the conflagration,
caused the roof of the tank to
buckle. Two pipes also burst
because of the heat. The pipes
served as feeding lines to
underground tanks.
When the pipes burst, gallons of oil poured onto the
ground, catching fire and
causing an additional hazard
for the firemen.
Chief Steek then directed
operations to keep the burning
oil from spreading to nin~ other
tanks in the storage yard along
:\JcCormick Rd.
While firemen were fighting
the blaze, a line of oil tank
cars were taken out of the
yard by railroad workers.
Flames went 200 feet into
the air as firemen poured tons
of water in the blinding snow
storm. Chief Steek said seven
pumper trucks were used, three
from Skokie and Evanston and
one from Niles.
The blast was heard as far
west as :\lax Berger's Shoe
City in :\lorton Grove.
About 2,000 feet of fire hoses
may have been ruined by the
glue-like oil. Chief Steek said
that firemen from Skokie, Niles
and Evanston were trying to
wash the oil off the hoses but
it was· an impossible task. Cost
of replacing the hoses would
be about $4,000.
The Hughes Oil company's
storage ya.rd covers a two-acre
area. Fourteen tanks in the
yard hold 1,700,000 gallons of
industrial oil.
ChiefSteek said about 10,000
gallons were lost in the fire
an<l two st or a g e tanks were
ruined.

the village's n 1 n e tractors
equipped with snow plows.
Biggest problem for the
blocks of apartment buildings.
Cars were left on the street
during the snow storm and
consequently were plowed in.
Some still haven't been moved.
Hobs said if people rn aa
apartment block would remove
all their cats, he would send
a snow plow to clean up the
street.

One of the country's famed re staurant families a rr ived in the )forth Shore
suburban area t wo years ago when Sam Rickett chose 'l:'aukegan Road i n
Glenview for a new restaurant site .
After wo rking 17 yea r s for his "uncle Ernie" in the well known Ricketts
a t the Ch ic ago Ave nue \V'ater Tower location, Sam moved to the suburbs
upon E rnie 's retirement and is most happy to have made the move.

Since 1896, the Rickett ramily has
served and pleased the palates of hundreds of thousands of diners.
Sam's father and brother have been
at Clark and Oak streets 5 2 years, 24
hours a day - more hours of serving,
claims Sam, than any restaurauteur in
our time. Another brother owns the
popular llomestead Restaurant in ~faywood, while two cousins run another
Ricketts at Clark near D iversey.
Also moving to Ricketts of Glenview
from the former Rickert ' s on Chicago
Avenue was chef Leonard Kolbuk, who
Sam says is the "best soup man in
Chicagoland
besides being tops in
sauces and gravies and the creator of
Ricketts famous garlic salad dressing."
Leonard comes from a family of
kitchen artists in Atlantic City and
Europe.
"Country Charm Room Cuisine" is
the way Chicago scribes describe eating at Ricketts of Glenview . Ricketts
is a place to take the whole family and
leisurely enjoy complete dinners or just
a snack. Special dinner menus for
childre n provide a fine selection beginning at $1.35.
Amidst pine panelled walls and an acoustic ceiling, th e " Coun try Ch arm

-~~-·
Shortly after noon on the day after the twelfth day of Christmas
the 71st session of the Illinois Assembly met to hear Governor
William G. Stratton's far-reaching legislative program for 1959.
After listening to Stratton, the lawmakers retired to plan the
presentation of their favorite bills.
The most curious of the proposed bills will be the one dealing
with branch banking, sponsored by Rep. Paul J. Randolph (Il . ,
Chicago).
As nearly as we can disce·rn, Randolph's bill will not have
the backing of downstate and suburban congressman.
They feel as we do, that branch banking's monopolistic tendencies are unhealthy for 1>uburban economies.
In California, for example, the Bank of America grew to such
enormous proportions because the state did not legislate against
branch banking that depositors unhappy with tbe B. of A. have
no other place to put their money - except, perhaps, their mattresses.
Therapeutically speaking, this might not be ha:mful since
medical researchers claim that our sleeping pads are much too
soft.
Some green on our backs might be additionally beneficial
during these cold nights if we could compound the money v.ith
mustard plasters.

The city-or-village hassle is all over now, but we thought our

SKOKIE VOTERS TURN DOWN CITY
ELECTION PHOTOS
Fear of Higher Taxes
Apparent Key to Defeat
Skokie stuck to its vi 11 age form of government Tuesday.
Voters turned back, 7,772, to 6,526, a proposal which would have
made the community a ci ty.
The election climaxed a vigorous campaign waged by local
governmental "outs," who formed the Skokie Civic Federation to
push the change and thus possibly gain a toehold in village administration. They built th ei r campaign around the theme that
neighborhoods needed "someone to see" - a nearby alderman who would be more directl y responsible to thei r wishes.
The so-called "ins" and their friends, notably Martin "Scotty"
Krier' s Niles Township Regular Democratic Organization and the
Independent Republican Club,
fought
back fiercely . They "at large" system of electing

Nilehi Trojans Lose Again;
Evanston W
·ildkits Win 63-44
by MIKE RUBY
If the Niles Trojans had
played four first quarters last
Friday, they would have woo
themselves a basketball game.
As it was, they were outscored by a substantial margin
in each of the other three and
lost to the Evanston Wildkits
63-44.
The Trojans, who outscored
their oppone"ts 13 - 11 in the
first quarter, were outpointed
20 - 13, 16 - 8, and 16 - 10 in
each of the last three quarters.
High point man in the game
was Ron Henrici with 17 - 16
rn the first half. Close behind
were three Evanston men:
Jack Stickney, 16; Fred Gablenz, 15; and Dan Holman, 14.
Holman, a fast 5 foot 9 inch
guard ,
passed brilliantly
throughout the game. Ron Lis,
Trojan guard, was limited to
eight points, a far cry from the
30 he hit against Morton.
The Trojans again were
weak at the free throw line,
hitting for only 50 per cent
while their opponents hit for
67 per cent.
Next on the varsity schedule
is an away game with W
aukegan Friday.
The soph game was a different story, with the Trojans
pulling out a 37 - 36 Win.
The Nilehiers jumped to a
10 - 5 lead at the end of the
first quarter, but relinquished
this and. were losing 18 - 15
at half. In the third quarter,
the Trojans moved ahead and
stayed there.
Top players, for the Trojans
were Larry Mills, Bronson
Davis ana Jim Reicherts.

Famed Soprano Mimi Benzell
To Appear in Skokie Feb. 28
Mimi Benzell, world famous
coloratura soprano, has signed
for a special benefit performance on Feb. 28 for the Niles
Township Jewish Congr~gation
of Skokie.
The concert will be held in
the new West Niles Township
Hig'll School auditorium in
Skokie, which has a seating
capacity of 1,500. The concert
will begin promptly at 8:30
p.m.
All proceeds derived from
the ticket sales will go into
the special "Children's Fund"
of the Temple. All seats ar'e
reserved, and ticket donations
are $3.50 & 5.00.
This is the first attempt to
bring 'cultural arts' to the fast
growing suburban community of
Skokie. It is the hope of Rabbi
Sidney J. Jacobs, spiritual
leader of the temple, that this
will become a community project, and a sell-out for this
initial effort to bring people,
such as Miss Benzell, out from
the city.
Tickets for the concert are
now on sale at these following
locations:
First National Bank of Skokie

On Small Lot
Judge John A. Sbarbaro of
Superior court h a s ordered
Skokie to allow construction
of a home on 'a "landlocked"
lot at 8724 N. Harding in the
village.
The lot, only 30 feet wide,
is in a single family residential
(R-1) zone where 55 feet of
frontage and 6,600 square feet
of land area are required under
the village ordinance.
The vacant lot was termed
because it's
"landlocked"
flanked on both sides by homes.
Thus, there is no additional
available land the owner can
purchase to widen the narrow
lot, the court said. The lot
is 119 feet deep,
A variation to build was
denied by the village zoning
board of appeals in August,
1958. But Judge Sbarbaro said
the plaintiff · is entitled to
relief sought "as a matter of
law."
The court said the effect
o f the zoning requirements
amounts to a taking of the lot
without due process of law
and without any just or adequate
compensation. Judge Sbarbaro
noted the lot was s.ibdivided
by a plat recorded in 1925,
many years before enactment
of Skokie' s zoning ordinance.

Wbile the Diner's Club is internationally known,
the Dyer's Club, although local, is equally
prominent.
Members of this unique organization meet
every other Thursday evening in Alex and
Stephanie's Beauty Salon on Oakton St.
Charter members are Ann Johnson, Doris
Martins and Joan Beach. The only requisite for
joining is the adoption of the club's motto:
"Hail, Male! We Gladly Dye for Thee!"
Like an enchanted castle in the middle of a
dense and forbidding jungle, is the charming
"Golden Deer."
Located,at 936 Rush St. in Chicago, it is a
complete contrast to the fast moving activities
on that strip. Candle lights, soft music, wonderful food, it caters to those who like to en joy
their dinner leisurely.
Larry Beneitone, former University of Iowa
athlete, sets the pace for his charming, below
street level spa. No flashing neon lights o r
blazoned banners mark the spot. Just a tiny
golden deer.
We concede to the attractiveness of doorknobs
placed in the center of a door. However,we must
admit they are quite disconcerting.
Every time we tum one of these center knobs,
we expect the door to slide up like the one on
a garage.
Mrs. Shea Heads
Heart Fund Drive
Mrs. L. Shea, 8329 Oketo,
Niles, has accepted the chairmanship of the Niles Committee
in the Suburban Division of
the 1959 Chicago Heart Fund
Campaign.
The Chicago Heart Association conducts a camp a i g n
annually during February with
the climax occurring on Heart
Sunday, Feb. 22, when between the }fours of 1 and 4 p.m.
an army of Heart volunteers
in Cook, Lake and· DuPage
Counties will call on neighbors seeking contributions to
the fight against Heart Disease.
For weeks we counted calories. We wasted
money purchasing tasteless "non-caloric"
goodies. But undaunted, we valiantly fought our
battle of the bulge.
Then the thrill of victory won. A female remarked that we "looked positively tiny." This
is an adjective never before used in connection
with our particular type of figure.
But how fleeting is victoi;y. Along came the
Skokie Valley Hadassah Taste and Test Luncheon.
We did not realize this was a subversive group
determined to undermine the will power of dieters
when we accepted their invitation to be one of
their "taste" judges.
The food was delightful, delicious and most
inviting. The wonderful offerings were attractive
as well as much too palatable.
We tasted flld tested to the tune of about a
few thousand cal.ories. The Hadassah women
are probably the world's greatest culinary artists.
The only thing left for · us now is to sign up
for a re-match with our wrestling partner - Kid
Calorie.
These are the facts, ma'am: A triend, known
for her propensity for ma iotaining apartment
acquariums, noticed that one of her gold fish
had leaped out of the bowl. As the wiggler
struggled on the floor, the "keeper of the bowl"
shouted frantically, "Stand back, give it air!"

Swing in' Time at East Prairie
Timber Ridge
The Timber Ridge Parent
Teacher Association, through
its recreation chairman Mrs.
Murray Jans, has- arranged with
the Art Institute of Chicago
for Miss Margaret Vanes, a
graduate of the Education Department of the Institute, to
present an art education series
in the school. The goal of this
series is to teach the children
to be able to appreciate good
art by understanding it.
At the first lecture, on Jan.
27, Miss Vanes will discuss
several pictures. The groups
of children will be arranged on
the basis of age, and as the
age advances Miss Vanes will
be able to go into greater detail.
On her second visit to Timber Ridge, on March 31, Miss
Vanes will bring ten or twelve
reproductions
from the Art
Institute with her. She will
take them to each class-room
and discuss them at length
with the youngsters. The pictures will be on display at the
school for a week after this
session so that the children
can study them further.
No wonder these men decided to go native, with an attractive
"Hawaiian" dancer like Mrs. Harry Schrimmer to lead them, Male
members of the troupe are, left to right, Monroe Glazier, Samuel
Ludmer, Bruce Stein, Frank Schada and Robert Wellstein. It's
all part of the fun for the East Prairie PT A presentation of "And

�BELL and HOWELL'S
PERC Y
His Philosophy
Of 'Democracy
In Business' Pays Off
For Huge Lincolnwood
Photographic
Equipment Firm
. . . in his office
by BETTY NEFF
When Charles H. Percy took overthe presidency
of Bell & Howell company at the age of 29 he
was a phenomenon of the business world. Today,
10 years and innumerable honors later, the boy
wonder has fulfilled his youthful promise.
Percy has been one of those apparently starblessed prodigies who has succeeded at everything
he has attempted.
He worked his way through New Trier high
school and the University of Chicago, where
his qualities of leadership were quickly recognized. At the university he was president of
his fraternity, Alpha Delta Phi; president of the
Inter Fraternity Council; president of Owl
and Serpent, senior men's honorary society;
captain of the university's Big Ten championship water polo team, and university marshal
to Chancellor Robert M. Hutchins, the highest
honor given to a senior.
While attending the university, he entered
Bell & Howell's cooperative training program,
working his way through almost every department.
Upon his graduation in 1941, he assumed fulltime employment with the company and a year
later - at the age of 23 - he was elected to the
board of directors.
In 1943 he entered the Navy as an apprentice
seaman. He was discharged in 1945 with the
rank of lieutenant senior grade and a commendation
on his '' efficient administration and supervision ...
(and) his initiative and cooperation" from Rear
Admiral V.H. Ragsdale.
When he returned to Bell & Howell at the ripe
old age of 26, he was made corporate secretary
and given responsibility for the company's industrial relations and foreign manufacturing
programs.
His boss, Joseph H. McNabb , was of the old
autocratic · executive school. Young Percy, on
the contrary, felt that bridging the gap betwee1Z
labor and management- explaining management's
position and listening to labor's problems - was
a key to sound-business practice.
When McNabb died the board of directors,
whose ages averaged 66 years, elected the 29·
year-old Percy president. That same year he
was named one of the IO outstanding young men
in the United States by the U.S. Junior Chambe.r
of Commerce.
Thus , in a span which finds many men still
unsettled on a career, Percy had attained such
executive eminence as is granted to few even
twice his age .
'Expect The Best'
"Chuck" Percy is a man of ideas, and he
puts those ideas to work.
Nuclear to his success in the business world
is the high value he places on other people. He
... with Sadie Wright in BMM Projector assembly.
definitely does not believe in the adage, "If you
want a thing done well, do it yourself. " Percy
can - and does - delegate authority, and under
his leadership this policy reaches right down to
the bottom level of employment.
''I believe that the faith we place in people is
seldom disappointed," he said in explaining his
philosophy of management. "To expect the best
of a man is almost assurance that you will receive it. When I give a man a job to do, I leave
that job to him. It is his responsibility - his is
the credit or the blame for what he makes of it.
"Generally, no two people do a thing in the
same way. Every man brings to a problem a fresh
point of view and a new approach. The value of
individual effort and thinking can never be overestimated. At Bell & Howell company our production workers often have solved problems on
the job that management has wrestled with unsuccessfully.
"Once a man knows that his opinions are
respected, that his ideas are valued, his energy
and mind are turned to constructive interest in
his work. I do not believe in men doing the work
that machines can do. Nor do I believe in hiring
only the work of a man's hands when he is eager
to give his heart and his mind to his job."
Percy brought democracy to Bell & f/ouell.
fl is first move as president was to invite all
2,000 employ es and their families to a meeting
at which he laid it on the line with respect to
company problems, profits, costs and other
data.
This first "family night" has become an an•
nual affair, but Percy didn't stop there. He
instituted monthly meetings with foremen, giving
them information to pass on to all employes. He
and other top executives went "back to school"
for intensive courses in the company's business,
ten hours a day for three days. He began writing
a column for the company newspaper.

economic factors and the company's own performance record, a series of future goals - high,
but theoretically attainable - are set.
Within the long-range program, short-range
planning for the ensuing year is worked out.
Continual scrutiny and revision keeps the operations on target.
\\hen the recession came along last winter
and spring, B & H stepped up its timetable for
issuance of several new photographic items
featuring emphasis on automatic, foolproof
picture-raking and projection. As a result, there
was no recession at Bell & Howell.
"Over 60 per cent of our sales for the first
half of 1958 were in new products introduced in
the past two and a half years," Percy said.
Sales for 1956, 1957 and the first half of
1958 totaled $121,525,758 - only a little less
than the total of $127,087,629 accumulated
during the seven years of the postwar boom in
photographic sales from 1946 through 1952.
Only this month the company introduced an
electric eye still camera, the first completely
automatic still camera of its kind to reach the
market. The camera automatically sets the lens
for proper exposure and for distance.
Civic Respons ibility, Too
In addition to t he far -sighted leadership which
has characterized his career at B & H, Percy is
in cit ic and political a ff airs. Among his outside
posts are:
Member, business ad11isory council of the U. S.
Department of commerce,· vice -chairman, Republican National Finance Committee; president,
United Republican Fund of Illinois; board member, Committee for a National Trade Policy,·

A transplanted Englishman is teaching American
businessmen how to make sense to their employes.
He is George J. Rogers of 9226 Newcastle
Ave., Morton Grove, economic counselor and
director of American Free Enterprise Productions.
His mission is to create mutual understanding
among a 11 levels of a business or industrial
organization, thereby eliminating in-plant friction
and promoting higher productivity and- as an
.I
en d result - greater profits.
How does a stranger go about telling the
president of a firm how to run his business?
"In this country, consulting has become an
accepted practice," Rogers said in a recent
interview. "The average businessman is so very
long-range problems, that he doesn't have very
much time to sit down and just think.
"In those areas where you have research or
study required, where ideas have to be developed,
they (top executives) usually have to rely on
outside assistance. The important thing is that
they reach the point where they know they need
the help . "
Executives usually come to the "help wanted"
conclusion by trial and error, he said.
"Suppose they are continually having problems in the plant," Rogers explained.
"Productivity isn't high enough, or there is all
kinds of friction in the company. They try 101
ways to overcome it and they eventually find
that the patchwork approach to these problems
doesn't work.
"Then they begin tu look for some thing that

has a basic overall application, such as changing
the employes' attitudes. It's at this point that
they start looking for professional help (n that
area."
What English Language? .
Each firm's problems are individual, and
Rogers attacks them as such. But a cornerstone
of his approach is his conviction that many
problems can be solved by semantics - the science
of the meaning of words.
"We think of the English language as one
language, but it actually is a tremendous number
of different ianguages," he declared. "Your
doctor has one jargon, your chemist another.
Executives, supervisors, and employes all have
their own.
''One of the great difficulties that executives
have had is in expressing a thought in the language
of the employ es - a.'ld instead of expressing it
in terms of the self-interest of the company, they
should be expressing it in terms of the selfinterest of the· employes.''
Rogers gotinterestedin whathe calls "applied
human relations'' when he was a young man
operating his own business in Canada.
He had migrated to Canada when he was 22.
England was undergoing tough times in the postWorld War I period, and Rogers felt the New

He worked for the Metropolitan Life Insurance

as well as a Canadian branch of his old firm,
Royal, in Ottawa. Then he became an employer.
''I had lent a man some money co go into

A fundamental concept emerging from chis work
was that all human friction results from a lack
of know ledge or understanding of the actual
faces of any given situation.
While working at GE, Rogers had occasion
co consult with the American Economic Founda:

dealing with human behavior and economic
education. General chairman of the AEF was
Fred Clark of New York, and Rogers wound up
on Clark's staff.
The Foundation was conducting experiments
in semantics, tests which showed that certain
words - used commonly by millions - could be
proved co be the cause of misunderstandings.
Many of the words had acquired different meanings for different social groups, or had no meaning co all for some.

�BEAUTIFUL
TRADITIONS
The Orientals represent our ol.dest civilization
and adhere to many beautiful traditions and customs today.
The Chinese New Year is a day of honor and
celebration among them. On this day they have their feast
and festivities, but most significant of all is the tradition
they have of undertaking to pay off all indebtedness and
obligations prior to that day.
Friendships which have been s trained or
broken are restored as far as humanly possible.
It is only then that they bow before Confucious
or Buddha stating that their debts have been paid, friendships
restored, etc., and then ask God's blessings for the New Year.
Isn't this type of New Year celebration sane
and sensible?

rings in the Winter Season!
R ogers and his wife, Adele, enjoy their pet
parakeet . The economic coun selor doesn't u·orry
about semantics when teaching the bird to talk.
that's u·hat has happened in this country as far
as economics goes.
"Whal I'm trying to do in the simplest way
possible is to explain how industry operates
and to explain hou the people living in this
country can get the most for probably the least
amount of effort - and you don't do it by fighting
each other, you do it by cooperation."
Do n't Loaf, Cooperate
By '' least amount of effort'', Rogers does not
mean getting paid for doing nothing.
"This is elementary and childish," he stated,
"but no one in this country can be paid for more
than he does and still contribute to the building
of the country. He has to take it away from somebody else or have a momentary advantage, but
eventually he pays for it.
"If you pay employes more than they earn,
you mus t charge the customer more than the
value of the product or service. The customer
has a right to freedom of choice - and his choice
always will be :-./OT to buy the product - so the
normal end result is unemployment.
"There is one way we can overcome a mass
unemployment situation. If the government will
print more money and give it to the consumers,
the consumers are willing to buy those over-
priced product s and that's exactly what goes
on today. Every time you have a wage increase
you either have unemployment - which is almost
wha: we had recently - or you have inflation.
"And the terrible thing about it is you don't
have to have inflation; it doesn't produce any
more goods.''
Roge rs' work requires considerable travel. He
conduct s seminars for top ma nagement, writes
company reports to stockholders, and recently
was commissioned by a publishing house _to
write a series of 5 2 booklets - one for each week
in the year - to be distribut ed t hroughout a number
of indust ries.
The booklets will be sold as a set and mailed
once a week to executives. They will deal with
such subject s as the roles of different groups
in the economy, in t ernal cost reduction, productivity, and similar facets of American business
life.
Nippersink and Jack Frost get along
great together - and combine their
talents to create a winter vacation
setting that' s just wonderful.

"A very small part of my work could really

I hear and read falls into place, and I simply
rearrange these things int o a patt ern t ha t gives
them a uniqueness t hey didn' t have up to now."

THE VILLAGER
Skokie Receives
Traffic Award
by Art H ellyer
Back in 1949 Clara Ann Fowler spent an afternoon on the air with me in Milwaukee. She was
a sweet, unaffected, pleasing I y-plump little gal
from Tulsa who had just captivated the country
with her first hit recording. It was the first of
the multi-voice, by one person, records and the
label told us it was Patti Page singing "Confess."
Yes, Clara Ann Fowler, Patti Page, was the
singing rage, and all those who came in contact
with her fell under her spell. I can recall three
or four different times, when Patti was appearing
at the Towne Room, calling for her in my little
Austin in mid-afternoon. We would drive out to
Wood Veteran Hospital and spend the afternoon
entertaining the GI' s.
As emcee of Patti's radio shows from the
Towne Room, I got to know her quite well, and
Elaine would come down and spend the evening,
and the three of us would chat by the hour
between shows. I remember one time when Eddie
Hubbard, even then a big name here in Chicago,
came up to hear Patti and we all sat around the
bistro until 4: ::w a. m., Eddie and I playing
guitars, and Patti leading the vocalizing.
One evening recently, on TV, I saw a skinny
blonde with her silvery hair piled on top of her
head. She said her name was Patti Page. It
is hard to believe the changes that have come
over this gal in ten years. I saw a pseudosophisticate, a girl from the golden west putting
on eastern airs . Gone zl'ere all the down-to -earth
Oklahoma qualities that made us like her so u•ell.
She's still Patti Page, but she sure isn't Clara
Ann Fowler. I choose to remember her as she
was in 1949, not as she is in 1959.
The same night we saw Lauritz Melchior on
"This Is Your Life". Seeing Mr. Melchior made
me realize that it is the truly great who remain
mo st humble. I can't help but feel that this is
the reason they remain truly great.
"Out in Arizona where the badmen are, a nd the
only thing to guide you is an evening star",
there's a gentleman named Homer (Uncle Dick)
Grigsby. Seems Uncle Dick has ridden the
Arizona ranges for 74 of his 90 years, and he
feels qualified to speak on the subj e ct of
television westerns.
Uncle Dick was recently interviewed by a
reporter from the Arizona Republic, and he had
this to say: "These television programs of today
are a bunch of hokum. These modern writers
would have people believe most of the old-time
range riders were gunslingers and no -goods. We
didn't have t_
ime for crooked or underhanded
shenanigans in those days. We worked from dawn
'til dusk, and most times we were too busy
minding our own b us in e s s. Wby, the only
reason zle carried guns was to shoot snakes or
wild animals, and sometimes kill a boltin' horse
if it got going after we were thrown and still had
one foot caught in the stirrup."
Uncle Dick finished his tirade with this s ta t ement, "The only time I ever saw a gun drawn
was by some greenhorns from back east who
came west filled up with ideas from those novels
written back in Chicago."
So there!
Chief of Police William C.
Griffin of Skokie has received
word from the State Division of
Traffic Safety that pie Skokie
police department has won
honorable mention in the 1958
Inter-city traffic accident improvement program for cities
in the population class of over
50,000. The Chief received an
attractive wall certificate for
outstanding participation 10
the Program.
Rockford, Moline, North Chicago and Lake Forest won
first place in the program in
their respective Illinois population group cities, receiving a
magnetic traffic accident investigation board awarded by
the Allstate Insurance Company of Skokie, co-sponsors
with the state of the program.
'Three Cheers '
For Skokie
Fire Laddies
Dear Sir:
On January 13th at about
5:30 p.m. we called our Fire
Department at 8340 Hamlin to
report we had noticed a smoky
odor in the house for the last
day or so and wondered if it
might be dangerous. Before
we had time to realize what
was happening two fire trucks
and the Captain's car were
here. The men of Engine 2
and Truck 1 - Captain Jaeger,
Lt. Burke, and Firemen Suckow,
Bicknase, Guirsch, Siemsem,
Baumhardt, and Tedschi - entered our home in a most orderly
manner, made an extremely
thorough search, and reported
nothing of a serious nature.
These men were highly
considerate and careful, and
even spread a tarpaulin on the
floors to protect the carpeting!
It is certainly a comfortable
feeling to know such capable
and thoughtful' protection is
only moments away!
Three cheers for our wonderful Skokie Fire Department!
Very truly yours,
Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Solotke

Town ship Traffic Deaths Take
Sharp Turn Downward 1n '58
lraffic deaths rn '\Jiles
Township have taken a sharp
turn downward, according co
figures released by the , iles
Township Safety Council.
"An improved off i c i a I
program combined with better
citizen support has begun co
pay off," said Leon a rd J.
\ic Fnnis, Jr., spokesman for
the safety council.
"Thirteen persons lost their
lives in traffic in the townshir
in 195 7, " continued ~lcfcnnis,

"but only three were killed in
traffic last year."
'Jiles showed the greatest
reduction. Eight lives were
lost there in 1957, while 1958
was a deathless year in traffic
for them. ()nly one person died
in traffic in each of che other
villages.
''Even though the total
number of traffic accidents increased lase year," ~lcFnnis
pointed out , "safety officials
believe a good part of the rise
is due to the increase in traffic
within the Township , and also
co better accident reporting.
But even with chis rise in the
total number of traffic accidents,
injuries decreased by nearly
500."
every citizen really supports
our local officials in their
efforts to keep him alive in
traffic, maybe 1959 can be a
deathless traffic year for all
of ~Jiles Township," :-Slcrnnis

Sbarbaro Orders
Small Lot

Judge John A. Sbarbaro of
Superior court has entered a
summary decree commanding
Skokie officials to allow construction of a home on a 40-foot
wide lot at 4219 Bobolink Ter.
in the village.
The ruling was entered in
a case filed in August, 1958 ,
by Allan f-lurwitz, the owner ..
The court said the pleadings
on fi le show there is ''no
genuin e issue as to material
facts and that the plaintiff is
entitled to a decree as a matter
of law." Hurwitz was represente d by At torn e y Sheldon
Pelofsky.
In May of last ye a r, the
village zoning board of appeals
denied a variation of zoning
regulations over the lot, loc ate d in a single fa m il y
residential z on e where a
frontage of 55 feet is recµired.
Hurwitz was unable to acquire
at a "reasonable price" additional frontage from adjoining
land to meet the lot area and
width requirements demanded
by the zoning ordinance, the
court said.

Modern William Tell
�A FEATHER
IN YOUR CAP!
by NORMAN SCHACK
President, Niles Township Community Chest
After the holiday season , most of us feel literally and
figuratively "spent."
I
Yet , while we take a post-New Year pause to catch our
breath and take a quick financial inventory , there's one organization
that can't afford to ease up for a minute . . . let alone run out of funds .
Most likely you've heard of it . . . THE NILES TOWNSHIP
COMMUNITY CHEST.
Somehow , the chest ne()er seems to be quite full enough . .. .
That's undoubtedly because there are so many deserving individuals
and groups who benefit immeasurably from funds provided by the chest.
Supposing Community Chest did happen to fall down on the
job . What would happen to:
Niles Township Boy Scouts?
Niles Township Girl Scouts?
Family Service?
The Orchard School?
iles Township Safety Council?
Niles Township Human Relations Council?
Where then would these organizations - all within our own
community - obtain sufficient funds to do the same wonderful , constructive things that have marked their past efforts?
It's simple. They wouldn't.
The key to the success of any community chest lies in the
word, "community ." In the case of the NILES TOWNSHIP COMMU ITY
CHEST , it's the first three words that spell success or failure .
How about lending a helping hand? It'll be a feather in your
cap . .. . a red feather .
Note . . . Watch for the
iles
Township Community Chest
"Cleanup campaign;" to be
announced soon.

So that accounts for the rat-a-tat-tat of air hammers

Number 2
Our Legislators Oppose
Morton Grove,
Bronch Banking Plan
Lincolnwood
The three state legislators
who represent Niles Township
have declared themselves firmly
against any form of branch
banking.
At the same time Lincoln
Shonkwiler, of the Skokie Trust
and Savings Bank, was named
to the '' Bankers Committee
to Oppose Monopoly Banking"
_by the Illinois Bankers Association.
This means that if all Illinois
communities take as strong a
position against branch banking
as Niles Township it will mean
certain defeat for Rep. Paul
J. Randolph's branch banking
bill rn th i s sesswn of .the
Illinois legislature.
The bill would permit branch
banking in and within 15 miles
of the Chicago city limits, a
radius that would cover all of
Cook county and parts of Du
Page, Lake and Will counties.
State congressmen from the
6th Congressional District see
nothing but harm for the economy
of the area if the bill is passed.
Rep. Arthur E. Simmons
(R, Skokie) told the Villager:
''I have been rn close touch
with about 20 banks in the 6th
district and if I were to vote
today , I would oppose it.
''The main reason for my
opposition to it is that money
earned and deposited locally
should be used rn the com-
munity. This is impossible
with branch banking because
major loan decisions ire made
in the main office."
Simmons said that rn areas
where branch banking has been
rn effect home owners an d
potential home buyers find it
much more difficult to arrange
loans.
Rep. John W. Carroll (R.,
Park Ridge) said, "I am opposed
to the Randolph bill personally
and philosophically because
monopoly banking would not
be in the best interests of the
people in the 6th di strict. "
Rep. Bernard Peskin (D.,
orthbrook), voicing similar
disapproval, said "experience
in other states where there is
branch banking, shows that
there is one loan officer for
every ten branch banks and
that this loan officer is directed
by the main office.''
Executives of banks rn
Morton Grove
Lincolnwood,
and Skokie said that branching
would tead to monopoly of
deposits and credit by a few
large banks, the only ones that
could afford to start branches.
Chicago's two largest banks,
both of w h i ch support the
Randolph bill, are the Continental Illinois National Bank
and Trust Company of Chicago
ational Bank
and the First
of Chicago.
Liquor License Granted Twin Bowl
A liquor license has been
granted the Orchard Twin Bowl,
lavish '14-lane bowling alley
being erected on Foster St.
west of Skokie Blvd. in Skokie.
Village President Ambrose
}.f. Reiter, rn his capacity as
liquor control commissioner,
announced this week that the
license would be issued.
Some residents of the area
had objected to li1uor being
served m the new lanes because, they said, it was too
close to Sharp Corner school,
and schoolchildren might be
adversely affected.
Owners of the new lanes,
headed by industrialist Neisen
f--larris, had questioned this
stand, m view of the many
such establishments patronized
by parents with their children,
and said that in any event the
new lanes were a good 1,000
feet north and west of the
posing any
school - hardly
immediate "danger."
Reiter said in a statement
that the lanes "cannot be con-
strued .a s being located in the
immediate vicinity of a school,
and 1 would, therefore, be considered to have •been unreasonable m th e use of th e
discretion granted (the liquor
commissioner) by the law, if
I refused to issue a liquor
license."
However, the mayor said
that he sought, and received,
assurances'' from
''certain
officials of the Twin Bowl
about children. They included,
he said:
1. No liquor will be served
on the concourse when lanes
are being used primarily by
minors.
2. No pin ball machin_es will
be permitted in the building.
1. Persons under 21 will not
be permitted to play billiards.
4. Children under 15 will
not be permitted on the premises
u n I es s accompanied by a
responsible adult, are participants in a sponsored iun10r
,eague, or have the written
consent of a parent.

some time needed publications
devoted exclusively to them.
''The new ventures were
launched at the urging of residents and merchants in these
two communities. We hope to

coverage of all important news
events m Morton Grove and
Lincolnwood.''
Separate offices and staffs
have been set up m the two
villages to handle the new
publications.

nominating convention for the
coming election on Jan. 25 at

school, 9700 N. Crawford Ave.
City-Village Debate
Moves Into High
Staunch defenders of Skokie' s village form of government
tangled typewriters this week with those wl10 want to change rite
community to a city. Both sides were busy issuing statements
and preparing campaign literature.
~lore direct set-tos have been arranged for this coming unday
and Tuesday - full-fledged debates.
A referendum will be held in
Skokie Jan. 20 to determine
residents want to
whether
switch from the present village
system to a city-alde(manic
form. '\Jow, the village has six
trustees, a village clerk and a
village president, all elected
at large, plus an appointed
village manager. Under the
proposed city-aldermanic system, there would be 16 aldermen - two from each of eight
wards. The status of a village
manager, or city manager, has
not been spelled out by tlie
Skokie Civic Federation, which
was formed by political "outs"
to push the governmental
change - and, lackin.f any precedent, presumably would be
decided by the courts.
The newly-formed Committee
to Keep Skokie a Village took
off against arguments advanced
by the Civic Federation in
favor of a city-ddermanic form
of government.
The committee, headed by
c1v1c leader L.O. Green, published a comprehensive pamphlet which among other things
argued the merits of the Federation's contention that in a
ward system - with aldermen
elected by district - the voter
always has "somebody to see."
doesn't need
"Skokie
'fixes,'" the campaign leaflet
said. "This, in effect, is what
'somebody to see' means."
The pamphlet went on to
say:
"The city with its wards
and aldermen 1s the most exform of municipal
pensive
government. A 1de rm en's
salaries alone would cost over
$20,000 annually, while the
salaries of other elected officials is unlimited. This 1s
only the first cost. Aldermen
need patronage jobs to exist.
These, along with log rolling,
non-essential projects could
run into millions annually.
'•1·he high cost of aldermen
and wards 1s evident from examination of tax rates m

THE VILLAGER
To Change or Not to Change ...
DEP~NDABLE
LOW RATE
FINANCING
Thoughts that occurred to us while reading a pamphlet ad•
vocacing that Skokie change its form of government from village
to city:
The Village Manager (says the pamphlet) becomes the City
Manager. Says who? We asked Tom Matthews, attorney for the
Illinois Municipal League, and he says nobody can say for sure.
There are separate statutes for cities and villages. The courts
eventually would have to determine the status of Skokie's manager system.
Our schools need protection from irresponsible zoning changes
and political intervention. We don't know what effect changing
from village to city can have on schools, since they govern
themselves, but we suspect 16 aldermen should be able to intervene a great deal more than six trustees - through sheer weight
of numbers.
Only efficient government will protect and save tax dollars.
How true. A "model" of efficiency as cited by proponents of
the change to city is the city of Evanston. Tax rate there: 93.6
cents. In Skokie, a village alfJ}ost as big: 46.6 cents.

Take four children, all home at the same time,
multiply this by three or four friends for each,
and have them all spend the same weekend in

We didn't mind sleeping in the bathtub, but
we forgot to wear our shower cap and the faucet
insisted on dripping.
Never before were we surrounded with so much
cooking, so many dishes to wash, and so much
merriment.
Marshmallows burned in an open fire tasted
so m11ch better; corn made in our own popper,
vanished by the ton; fruit, candy, cookies disappeared - by the time the weekend ended, we
didn't know one child's name from another.
What affinity we achieved with ''the o 1 d
woman in the shoe."
We're certain the good Lord forgave us our
unset hair, our dishpan hands and the rings
around our eyes from lack of sleep, as we gave
thanks to Him for bringing us the greatest joy
a mother can receive - being surrounded by her
children.

Dr. Robert Graf Introduces Archery Golf
by MORT KAPLAN
There's a dramatic television commercial that
features a rugged individual with a bow and
arrow and rattoed back hand. On the spoor of
wild boar, this video-version Robin food fells
his riuarry with one mighty zing of bow and
arrow .
Then, of all things, he drops bow and arrow ...
E'• HER CIGARETTE COHMERCIAL ...
Dr. Robert Graf, an optometrist by profession,
who has lived, worked and played in
i 1 es
Township for the past 21 years, might well be
the huntsman except for two factors:
First, he smokes another brand. Second, his
hands hear no visible saddle-stitching.
Aside from that, however, he performs the
same derring-do with bow and arrow as the man
in the commercial. Nor does Graf confine his
efforts to TV studios or location. I le is acknowledged to be one of the foremost archers and
bowhunters in the middle west, and many will
add ... in the nation.
Graf's picture has appeared on the cover of
The National Bowhunter magazine, bible of
game-hunting archers and he has appeared on
orm Ba:ry' s telecast, "Let's Look At Sporc..s",
and on Johnny Earp's network radio sportscast.
In addition, a Chicago publication has run a
feature on the skilled Skokian as have numerous
other publications. The topic is invariably archery
I
and its splinter'' games, many of which were
either devised or introduced locally by Graf.
Dr. Graf shown here with ho11· and flu flu. (Flu flu is not a
respiratory condition but a type of arrow with a powerful striking
force at a distance of 30-40 yards.)
Archery Go lf
Among the latter is one that he introduced in
Illinois called archery golf.
As the name implies, archery golf combines
features of both sports, seasoned with brisk
doses of winter weather. It is confined to that
period of ye a r when snow blankets the golf
course and Jack Frost has reduced the golfers
digits to icicles. This usually retires him to the
sanctity of his fireplace, there to thaw until
the weather breaks.
(F.d. note. For the golfer, also a breed apart,
winter usually breaks during the "warm" part
of February)
Even the super-enthusiastic Graf concedes
that no golf course owner in his right mind would
permit flying arrows on the same course at the
same ti,me that golf balls (and often clubs) are
sailing about.
Gome Li ke Gol f
Dr. Graf takes sharp aim during a round of archery golf. Opponent
tried to kid him out of the shot . . . and succeeded.
"You're playing a game of golf," detailed
,raf in the runaway-locomotive style of an
enthusiast speaking of his favorite pastime.
"Instead of getting your birdies and eagles
with a golf club you get them tvith bow and
arrow .... and not out of the sky," he winked.
•le illustrated that just as in golf you drive
off the first tee, using an arrow with a minimum
of resistance or ''fletching.'' Thi s insures
maximum distance and should put you well out
on the fairway.
"Next, there are 'approach' arrows with long,
sharp points making it impossible for the shot
to hold fast in the turf'' ... or snow, which is more
likely during the time of year the game is played.
"This is like the chip shot in golf," he averred.
"It places you within striking range of the pin.
But, in stead of the pin and cup, there is a wire
with a yellow, rubber-covered ball perched atop
it, right where the hole would normally be. The
idea is to knock the ball off the perch with a
blunt-pointed 'putting' arrow, geared for short
distances.
"Knocking the ball off," he glowed, "is the
ultimate on each hole, the same as 'canning' a
putt would be in golf."
�January 8, 1959

\
Any hardy readers possessed of enough personal anti-freeze can get a first-hand glimpse
at archery golf by journeying out to Rolling Green
Country Oub in i\.rlington •-!eights. There, each
unday come cold weather or colder, you're apt
to find Doc Graf and a hardy band of archery
golfers sharpening up their game.
The sport has found such an enthusiastic
reception at Roiling Green that the members
have brought in a professional archery instructor.
Five or six other golf clubs in and around
Chicagoland are also "Warming" to the game,
including nearby Itasca and Carey, Illinois
where the old Indian weapons are being used to
scalp par these winter days.
Where did the sport originate? Nobody, according to the doctor, seems to know for sure. "The
nearest we can tell," he related, "it grew up
in the Cleveland area around 1925."
Graf believes that in a short time, archery
golf will be played at local golf and country
clubs the way district league golf matches are
played today.
He gives the impression that any minute he's
going to reach for the nearest closet, pull out
his paraphernalia and put a dent in the modern
equipment that adorns an immaculate office in
the .1orton Grove .1edical Center. It's at the
center that he puts in a good many hours practicing
optometry, much as this story may sound to the
contrary.
Eye Doctor
Graf maintains a complete lab service and
al so specializes in fittings for contact lenses.
lis brother, Carl, a physician and surgeon, also
has offices ·at the center.
The optimistic optometrist pointed with professional pride to a huge mechanical apparatus
that looked as if it could treat an eye all by
itself.

Prize Weimeraner "points" the way for Doc Graf and friend Brad
Gross. Dog nosed bird into flight and another pheasant was
bagged. Day ended with about 4 birds.
"That's my pride and joy," he beamed. "A
Christmas present from my wife. I've wanted
modern, technological optometry equipment like
that since I first came to practice in Skokie.
"That's going back some," he confessed. It
was around 19~7 that I had an office on the second
floor of a building at Lincoln and Oakton. Why,
I can recall being able to see Lincolnwood right
from my window. Even hunted pheasant at Long
avenue and '.,fain."
Graf shifted his 225 well-proportioned pounds
packed on a '5ft. 2 in. frame, and reminisced
further. (This physical stature is undoubtedly
no "drawback" when it comes to pulling a boll.)
"1-iaven't you ever heard of Assaria?" he
winked. "Why, it's right near Salinas.
"When I was 14 I weighed 200 pounds and had
to play with the high school kids. I guess that's
when I learned the rudiments of athletics ... the
hard way. But, by the time I was in high school,
I knew pretty well how to handle myself in football, baseball, basketball and of course, archery.
"In those days, I had to make my own bows
and arrows. To tell the truth I can't recall the
first time I cook up the sport. It seems like I've
al ways been stringing a bow and carrying a
'1uiver,' (arrow holder).
All Around Athlete
The good doctor, whose friends call him Bob,
recalled his early school days in Assaria, Kansas,
his birthplace. 'le was a vigorous sports participant even as a 14 year old.

Although he practices optometry in Morton
Grove, Graf lives at 7921 Kenneth, Skokie, with
his wife, Lois, and a talking parakeet ca 11ed "~Aickey."
The bird, perhaps a little resentful of his
111aster's publicity, has, hi111self been the subject of a story for his re111arkable mi111icry.
Wi fe Also Accompl i shed
Graf met his wife Lois at Schurz high school
in Chicago. He had moved to Chicago from Kansas
by way of ~ew York city wbere the family also
lived for a short time. Lois was Lois Grimes
at the time, and both were seniors when they
discovered one another.
Graf boasted: "She was a park district skating
champion then. Paced the Illinois champion, Art
Scaff."
Mrs. Graf, even now is hardly what you'd call
a golf widow, according to her husband. "If anything it's the reverse," he smilingly stat ed.
"When it looked like she w o u 1 d be a golf
widow and then an archery widow and finally a
combination of the two (archery golf), she decided to cake the bull by the horns and zero in
on a target of her own. She took up golf and
plays a darned good game," he affirmed.
I
Not Dangerous
"There were 63 deaths in 1958 in Wisconsin
and Michigan that were the direct result of rifle
hunting. Not a single one,'' he related, ''was
attributed to bowhunting."
Apparently neither snow nor sleet nor hail
can stop either the postal service or Bob Graf,
who recalled that he hunted deer a week earlier
in Nechedeh, Wisconsin in 29 below zero weather.
"If you think chat's crazy," he quick! y
added, "there were 5,000 ocher lunatics traveling bumper ta. bumper all the way from Beloit
to Nechedeh, a distance of about 175 miles.
Within 8 hours from the time we got there, about
500 deer had been bagged.''
WILL IAMS
Inve ntor y
As for the dangers of bowhuncing as compared
with rifle hunting, t3ob Graf will cell you in a
hurry that the bow and arrow is far safer. ' te
points out the possibilities of injuring someone
with a high powered rifle who might not be within
shouting distance of you. This, he reveals, is
not true in bowhunting, where one is comparatively
close co the ga;::e being tar;ece<l .

This scene does not represent "Custer's Last Stand," but merely
a group of archers at Rolling Green Country Club sharpening up
for a round of archery golf. Dr. Graf is just to right of center
in cowboy hat.
Doc Graf is one of the founders of the Skokie
Valley Elks and is now one rung under Exalted
Ruler i n the organizational hierarchy. He proudly
wears the badge of Kiwanis and Shriner. One
of his most precious possessions, in fact, is
the Skokie Kiwanis golf trophy, which he has
captured three years in a row.
His advice to anyone who' /I li;ten is to take
up a game (archery golf- what else?) that com bines "the healthy outdoors with a sport just
active enough to make you feel really alive."
He feds so strongly about it he insists he will
give any interested groups a good start io the
rudiments of archery golf. "Just call me," he
enthused.
Graf explains his fascination for archery, in
pare, by the many pleasant associations he has
made. He claims that the bow and arrow enthusiasts have different ideas on even the most
basic aspects, keeping it al ways dynamic.
Not content to be idle, Dr. Graf recently sprung
another innovation on his friends at Rolling
Meadows, Skeet-shooting with bow and arrow.
He's convinced the game will soon catch on,
as he and a few other enthusiasts spread the
gospel.
If you should happen to bump into Graf when
he won't enthuse over archery golf, it's probably
because he is concentrating on bringing hi s
bowling average up from its more than respectable 175 average, or because he's concentrating
on knocking a few more strokes off his golf score.
The athlecif
The athletic doctor tours tbe 1 inks in the
middle-to-high seventies and has brought home
more than a few cups in recent years. He matches
pars in the summer with "bulls" (for bullseyes)
he registers the year round.
Friendly, graying Bob Graf has many friends,
all of v.hom you might say stand solidly behind
him 1-fe is also a person who CAN hit the broadside of a barn .... and that's no bull!

How many people do you know who have been
knifed in the heart and lived co cell about it?
If you live in Skokie, you may know one - but
he doesn't tell about it much unless you ply
him with direct questions. 4e' s Fireman Bernard
"Bernie" Weber, and he doesn't like to dwell
on what happened on a dark night in Bizerte,
Tunisia, 15 years ago.
Weber was a quartermaster 1/ c in the Navy
in 1941, and on the night in question he 'was en
route back to his ship after liberty in Bizerte
when he spotted a fellow sailor who was obviously
"a little inebriated." Two other fellows were
jostling him about, and Weber went to the sailor's
aid.
"I thought he was being rolled," he said,
"but the two fellows said they were taking him
back to the ship. Just before 1 turned to go, the
sailor I'd tried to help came to me with a knife
and that was it. He got 20 years or so; 1 got the
the knife in my heart."
As a vital piece of luck, a regular patrol of
military police came by "within less than a
minute," Weber said. They rushed him to a
hospital, where luck also was on his side. The
physician on duty happened to be a heart
specialist.
''They ripped me open and sewed up the· wound,''
Weber said. "They had to take a couple of ribs
out. While I was there they flew in quite a few
doctors to see me, and took pictures from every
imaginable angle. I was told I was one of nine
persons who had been knifed in the heart and
had survived."
Weber, then 18, was transferred from hospital
to hospital until he was placed aboard a States·
bound ship. In this country, another operation
was 11ec6ssary. Two ribs were taken out of his
back and grafted into his chest, where the other
ribs had had to be so hastily removed.
When -he was discharged from the service, he
had trouble getting a job because prospective
employers looked on him as a semi-invalid. But

IN HEART... AND LIVES

Pauline and children Kathy and Skipper.
by BETTY NEFF
when the Korean War came aloqg he was recalled
to Navy service, "so I guess they figured I was
all right," Weber smiled.
Subsequently, he went to work in a factory,
but his employer would only let him work a few
hours a day because of his medical history. He
had a wife by that time, and the young couple
couldn't live on his factory earnings, so he quit
and applied for a civil service job a:i a fireman.
He has been on the Skokie force since 1955 and
lives with his wife and two children at 4836C
Kirk street.
"As far as I'm concerned, I'm healthy as an
ox right now," he smiled.
And the sailor whose brutally-wielded knife
shaped so much of Weber's life?
"I wouldn't know him if I sawhim," Weber said.

George Washington didn't eat here but, just the same, you'll enjoy the
several dining rooms of the Colonial Hotel at 9101 Waukegan Road, Morton
Grove ... whether it's the 135-year-old Oak Room, with its original pegged
oak floors, panelled walls and hewn ceiling timbers, or one of the younger
rooms dating back a mere 74 years.
The history of the Colonial has its
beginning in the early years of the
west when the site was called Battle
Hill. From here Indians watched, with
tomahawks in hand, for the Great White
Fat her, for this little knoll rising from
the Illinois plain is the highest spot
around for miles.
On this spot was built the precedent
of the Colonial Hotel - then it was
Dilg's Wayside House - a trading post
for early white settlers where cattle,
horses, gr~in, etc. were traded or
bartered. Also, it was a convenient
stop-over for travelers headed toward
a swamp area around which another

fJROASTED CHICK EN
village was developing in the vicinity
of Fort Dearborn.
Now a later breed of white settlers
from a slightly larger trading post
called Chicago stop at the Colonial
Hotel on their way home to new suburban settlements.
The culinary arts of the Colonial
are under the personal supervision of
Ira Chenowith who, for the past decade, has studied under several
French Chefs. Mr. Chenow irh is a
member of the International Chef du
Cuisin (in which membership is extended only by invitation).
Owner Ed Roberts describes Chef
Chenowith as, "a culinary artist in
all departments .. . an expert in cook•
ing with French wines, a designer of
pastry buildings, a creator of buffet
tables, and a master in the vanishing
art of ice carving."
Dinner guests have their choice of
the Oak Room, the Broiler Room, the
Chez When with its piano bar, or the
North American Room.
The standard menu is quite large
and varied and a sampling would disclose such appetizers as jumbo
Louisiana shrimps with a piquante
sauce, shrimps in wine sauce broiled
with garlic; such entrees as spring
chicken, roast sirolin of fine beef,
french fried lamb chops, T-Bone steak;
and such seafoods as African Rock
Lobster tail, french fried shrimps, or
fresh Lake Superior whitefish .
In addition, the daily menu might
include roast loin of pork, calf's liver
sauce with fresh mushrooms and

with fluffy dumplings and sauce supreme, or a broiled ladies size filet
mignon with crisp onion rings . A
complete wine list is offered with
helpful suggestions to complement a
good dinner.
Both the Oak and Broiler Rooms are
particularly enjoyable these wintery
days with the two large stone fireplaces which Ed Roberts says are "the
only two in the world built back-toback which will draw at the same
time."
Incidentally, the huge ox yoke over
the fireplace in the dining room was
used by the oxen to haul the large
oaken beams used ih the ceiling. The
beams ar~ held in place with wooden
pegs - not a nail in them.

did you miss the finest prose ever written, but
you also missed what precedes this week's
column. Rather than explain any further, why
not call Aunt Matilda and get last week's
Villager :
Today, dear fiends .... uh, friends .... we will
talk of our dear buddy and pal - the pawnbroker,
and how he got his sign. What has this to do as
a continuation of last week's story on Good
Saint "Jicholas? ~'ell, it seems that St. Nicholas
is usually shown carrying three bags or balls
of gold, reminiscent of his gifts to the three
girls whose father had lost his money in the
stockmarket crash of 327 A.D. To show their
regard for him, the bankers of Lombardy in
northern Italy decided he should be their patcon,
so they placed three balls over their places of
business. Since they loaned money to clients,
this sign became associated with pawnbrokers.
In fact, history shows that "Friendly Guiseppe,
the Smiling Italian" ~as first to hang out the
sign .... the sign that today is like a light
sliining in the darkness.
St.
icholas also became the patron of all
seafq,ring men because of his ability to calm
the sea in times of storm. And therein another
question is answered .. . . "Mommy, why do the
Dutch children get presents on December Sixth?"
Dutch sailors, who returned to Holland from
their travels, c.lrried with them tales of the
bishop's generosity. As a result, St. , Nicholas
was honored on the sixth of December each
year, and the little Amsterdarner's and Rotterdarner's made their haul of giniders, klompen,
Gouda, Leiden, Edam, and bicycles.
St. Nicholas arrived in the ew World when
the Dutch settled Nieuw Amsterdam (in recent
years brassy easterners have started calling it
New York), but they cast off his traditional
ecclesiastical robes and changed him into a fat
little guy in riding britches.
Each year on his feast day the Netherlanders
would parade down _the main street or canal
carrying his statue with them. The children
never missed this kermis (start looking these
words up; you' 11 be surprised how much you can
learn reading this column), for this was the day
that Good St. Nick brought them their presents.
In "1ieuw Amsterdam, through the influence of
the English, by the start of the nineteenth century the celebration of St. ".'Jicholas Day had
merged with that of Christmas.
In 1822 Dr. Clement Moore, who taught in a
theological seminary in New York, had heard
a friend, a short, chubby man with a long white
beard, telf stories about the saintly man. Dr.
Moore was so inspired by these tales that he
wrote his famous "A Visit From Saint Nicholas"
and, soon after, mothers and fathers all over
the United States were reading it to their brighteyed progeny .
In 1863, the cartoonist Thomas Nast pictured
him in II arper' s Illustrated Weekly in a bright
red fur-trimmed suit. 1 he same man showed him
visiting the Civil War soldiers in their camps
dressed in a red, white, and blue suit accompanied by his famous sleigh and reindeer. In
1902 Santa still hadn't decided what color to
wear because IV, W, 'Denslow that year showed
him in a garish green suit.
It really doesn't matter what we call him Sint Nicolaas, Father Christmas, Kriss Kringle,
or Santa Claus - for he is a very real person,
who makes us forget, if only for a few days each
year, our selfishness and hatred, for he is the
spirit of Christmas.
~JERRY CHRISDJAS!
�The great and mystic wonder of
Christmas is that human hearts can tru!y
overflow with good will and kindness
toward their fellowmen. May God teach us
to love our neighbor all the year.

CITY-OR-VILLAGE VOTE ON JAN. 20
Some Christmas Scenes
As old St. Nick prepared for his yearly swing
through iles Township, residents were caught
up in the usual preparatory bustle. Here are
some scenes shot by our photographers during
the pre-Christmas activity:
Sarah Smith and Paul Johnson fascinated by an
electric train display at Field's Old Orchard
store.
Hilmer Erickson of 3815 Louise St., Skokie,
crossing guard at Dempster and Forest View,
with some of the Christmas presents he received
from College Hill school children. Erickson,
overwhelmed, was searching for some way to
say "thank you" and "Me,rry Christmas" to all
the youngsters. lie doesn't know the names of
some of them .
A feature for youngsters was this doll house,
with moving occupants, at Saks Fifth Avenue.
\
Christmas tree dedication at Kenton school.
Debby Konaiko U'as caught trying on a party
dress at the new Young Debs store in Old Orchard. Saleslady is Mrs. Miriam Milkis.
The Skokie boarcl. of trustees
has set Jan. 20 as the date
for a referendum on whether
the village should switch to
a
ward-aldermanic form of
government.
The decision was announced
Monday.
Village attorney William M.
Hennessy recommended to the
trustees Saturday that they
"carry out the mandate of the
state Supreme Court.''
The state court last week
upheld a Cook County Circuit
court
order compelling the
the village of Skokie to hold
the election. Skokie trustees
had held that petitions seeking
a vote on the matter were invalid and the Skokie ''Civjc
Federation", formed by political "outs", had taken the
matter to court.
Thus
another interesting
election 1s coming on the
heels of the Dec. 13 school
bond vote, which drew a record
outpouring of voters for such
an
election. About 13,000
township voters turned down,
by majorities up to 3 to 1, a
three-pronged $8,625,000 expansion program of the high
school board.
The Jan. 20 election will
decide whether residents of
Skokie want to continue the
present village-village manager
form of government - six
trustees and a village president
elected at large, plus an
appointed villa_ge manager - or
switch to a cfity plan. Under
this plan, a mayor would be
elected at large and 16 aldermen chosen by district - two
from each of eight wards.
Petitions seeking the election were filed Aug. 4 with
Village Clerk John E. Seeley.
However, the trustees ruled
that the petitions did not
contain
one-eighth of the
signatures of persons who
had actually voted in the
last village election, which
was their interpretation of
the wording of the statute
covering such petitions and
referendums.
The "Civic
Federation"
argued that the petitions need
contain only the signatures of
an
eighth of the persons
eligible to vote.
The late Circuit Judge Harry
Fisher agreed with this view,
as did the state high court in
rendering its decision last
week.
Justice Walter V. Schaefer
of the Supreme Court subsequently
signed an order
lifting a supersedeas - a
technicality which had delayed
the vote.
The village board, to comply
with a directive of Fisher's,
originally had set Oct. 29 for
the election - then had obtained the supersedeas pending
higher court review of Fisher's
decision.
The trustees
presumably
could have carried the case
further - by asking for a rehearing by the state Supreme
Court, or even appealing to
the federal courts - but they
said privately Tuesday they
were willing to "let the people
decide wha:t kind of government
they want.''
L. 0. Green, Skokie civic
leader who heads an organization which will fight any
change, said he is "confident"
the people of Skokie" do not
want to go backward by adopting an expensive, outmoded
machinery of government that
was put forth out of spite and
poor judgment.''

New Trier Beats Nilehi Troians 49-43
Poor free throw shooting
and a bad second quarter were
costly to the Niles Trojans as
the Varsity cagers were nudged
.HOUSE OF MUSIC
by New Trier 49-43 last Friday
at the Nilehi gym.
The Trojans were behind
12-9 going into the second
quarter and it was here that
the Indians piled up their
biggest lead and left the court
at half-time leading 25-14.
The third quarter was all
Niles with the Trojans scoring
16 point to the Indians 8. The
Nilehiers narrowed the New
Trier lead to one point but
never came any closer to
victory. The Trojans were
outscored 16-13 in the last

We want to thank you for the
tickets last Saturday for the
la st train ride.
My husband had traveled for
36 years in Chicago and now in
Skokie and in Lincolnwood.
Now he must get used to
riding the bus.
We are lucky he takes the
bus in front of the house. But
he always made better time
even if he walked five blocks
to and from the train.
Thanks again .

Winter Weeke nd Hikes
Are Secom ing Popula r
in sub-zero weather,
Even
weekend hikes along nature center
trails in the forest preserves are
becoming popular.
"We're surprised at the reports of the number of people
coming out especially on Sundays
after church," said Daniel Ryan,
district president.
The average weekend turnout
this month is about 100 at each
of the two nature centers where
trails have been labeled forwinter
hikes for the first time, said
Charles G. Sauers, general superintendent. The two centers are the

Springs road about 1/ 2 mile south
of 95th street, and the River Trail
nature center entrance off Milwaukee avenue about a mile southeast of the interesection of Milwaukee and River road. In view
of the relatively big turnouts despite the "hectic wintc-r so far,"
Roland Eisenbeis the district's
conservation superintendent, says
this shows that "people are becoming more and more interested
in hikes, even in cold weather.''
"People are finding out that
walking is a means of ironing out
the wrinkles of a tired mind.''
The trails--each nature center
has three--are labeled to tell the
winter story of animals--where
they find food, which ones are
hibernating, what others do in
cold weather, and how to identify

"People have come to realize
they don't need a guide," said
Eisenbeis.
Hiking seems to be more popular with parents, especially those
with tots, he said.
"The parents read the signs
for the youngsters, give a little
interpretation or expand on them
as they go along, and after the
hike is over, they feel they've

Eisenbeis pointed out that a
"better glimpse" of the countryside is available in winter because
trees are bare and foliage is
down.
Snow is removed from the parking lots at the nature centers, but
not from the trails. "After all,
snow is part of the winter landscape," Eisenbeis said.
The self-guiding trails are onequarter, one -half and one mile
long. At the southwest center, the
trails can be combined for a hike
up to 3 miles, and at the northcenter for about 2 1/ 2
west
miles.
Eisenbeis expects many to turn
out during the Christmas holidays
"when families have a chance to
get out together.''
Business High
Ten north and northwest suburban municipalities headed by
Des Plaines and Morton Grove
reached new retail business highs
for 1958 during September, according to the Community News
Service tabulation of state revenue
department figures on collection
of the 1/2 per cent local sales
tax.
Des Plaines reported $16,985
collected for September during
the month of October.
Morton Grove, with $11,286 in
September compared to a previous
high of $9,008 in April, also set
an apparent all-time high.

Lemai, Lincolnwood Towers,
and Lt. Herman Edgar Lacy,
Jr., son of Col. and Mrs. H.
E. Lacy of McHenry, were wed

as matron of h on or; Mi s s
Jeanette Oehring, 8715 Georgiana, Morton Grove; Miss
Diana Burgess, 6506 Towers
Circle Dr., Lincolnwood, and

cousm.
Pretty little Kimberly Fendt,
2 ½, was flower girl and handsome Steven Johnson, 3 ½, was
ring bearer.
The beautiful blond bride
wore a traditional peau do soie
gown of cnadlelight shade.
Lace bow knots were embroidered on the skirt in polannaise
fashion with clusters of seed
pearls. It had a scooped
neckline.
A separate train was caught
at the back with a silk rose.
The tiara was of seed pearls,
and veil was of Venetian lace,
imported from Venice by the
bride's mother.
A necklace of 100 "add-a
pearls" was worn by the bride,
and her bouquet was of jeweled
snow drift Christmas porns and
stephanotis. In the center of
the bouquet was a going away
corsage of white amazons.
The bridesmaids were gowned
in peacock green velvet sheaths,
with bateau necklines in front,
dropping to a deep V in the
back. A large flat bow was at
the waistline with long streamers

The American Association

particularly, to Mrs. Lago, for
her achievements and outstanding years of service in the
capacity of national relations
study group chairman. Mrs.
Lago received this coveted
prize at the Women's Club, in

Mrs. Lago has been on the

Some random winter ramblings:
Why does it pick the coldest day of the year
for the furnace to break down?
The school traffic guard at Dempster and
Trumbull, Hilmer Erickson, shivering from the
cold, taking time to adjust the scarf around the
head of one of his little charges.
We don't care what you say your name is, get
those animals off of our roof!
The most frantic holiday shopping is done
between the hours of 12 and 1 p.m. when working
girls try to do their buying during their lunch
hour.
While we're grateful to the gentleman who
made a contribution to a children's home in our
honor, we feel he apparently never heard of the
Sheryl Leonard home for children.
This is the time of year when being "loaded"
doesn't necessarily mean that you are prosperous.
People, with whom you do not have constant
contact during the year, suddenly make you feel
humble with their thoughtfulness and kindness
to you.
A roaring fire in the fireplace can be decorative.
However, it becomes slightly less than adequate
trying to heat a nine room replica of a medieval
castle with it.
These zero days develop a new respect in
us for farmers. Our own "powder room" has no
heating facilities.
This is the time of year when no matter what
vicissitudes are encountered, the cold, snow
and sleet are melted by the warmth and goodness
in the hearts of people.
One of the few times we are able to shut our
eyes and enjoy television is when Leonard .
Bernstein is conducting.
Wbile we are always fascinated by his gestures
and the rapturous look on his face, we don't
have to see him to appreciate the beauty of his
words, or the magic of the music when he is on
the podium.
Even with closed eyes, we feel his enthusiasm,
his zeal and the joy and love of music he expresses.
Rube Barsamian, he of the rug concern, sends
along some of the most delightful lines in his
weekly news releases of the Kiwanis Club of
Skokie Valley.
When discussing the possibilities of an office
party, a certain "head man" of a certain organization remarked, "Yes, but what do you do at
these parties? Naivete in this day and age is
precious.
Actually, Christmas office parties are pretty
over-rated. The gal who's pretty nice, usually
stays that way, the hussy is still one, party or
not, and the man who likes his liquid refreshments
doesn't deviate one bit from his all year 'ronn ,l
norm.
We wish they would change the title of vice
president to co-president or assistant president.
The title is much too appropriate in some instances.

Whatever your color, your race or your creed .....

'BAHi
HUMBUGI
Reporter Meets Dour Santa Claus
Feature editor Betty 'Neff was asked to find and
write a "different" Christmas story. This she
has done - and has come au;ay with mixed
emotions: very amused, a little rueful: How
about you?
by BETTY NEFF
This is a Christmas story for adults only.
The Villager thought it might be fun to interview Santa Claus, to see what tender or daft
experiences thei pre-Yule season had brought
Jlim.
We hied ourselves over to one of the big stores
in the Old Orchard shopping complex. Santa sits
in a little red barn on the first floor.
When we arrived, we smiled involuntarily at
the ageless sight - a gratifyingly rosy-cheeked,
red-plush-suited, white-whiskered Santa bending
effectionately toward a small girl whose sudden
shyness wouldn't permit her to speak above a
whisper.
The quiet one was followed by a brother and
sister who got just plain tongue-tied in The
Presence. Santa patiently drew each child out,
overcoming the awe and sending them away
confident in what Christmas Eve would bring.
A lull enabled us to speak to the Great ~Jan
1
ourselves.
"You obviously like children," we observed
tritely.
"Sure I like children," he replied a bit tartly.
"I like 'em boiled, fricasseed, steamed ... "
We swallowed hard. He'd Seemed so nice.
"Do you go by some name other than Santa
Claus?'' we stammered.
"Charles Spoon. I'm an actor."
Well, that explained his ability to put the tots
at ease, seemingly sympathizing endlessly with
requests for dolls, guns, missiles, switchblades,
despite his avowal that he tries Not to listen.
Spoon the actor is 28, unmarried, and lives
with his parents at 6657 Keating, Lincolnwood.
"Actually, I'm ageless,'.' he said ruefully.
"After seeing several thousand children, you
become ancient.''
Gains Experience
It seems that in show biz, the tradition is
that one isn't a real actor until one has played
Santa Claus or demonstrated toys in a crowded
store at Christmas time. Spoon took on the Santa
bit partly to help our a fellow actor, David Hull
of Chicago, who has portrayed St. Nick for the
Skokie store for the last three years and who
needed an assistant; and partly to gain reputedly
valuable acting experience. Indications were that
he was anxious for Christmas to get here so he
could hang up his suit.
Despite his declarations of aversion to the
small believers who troop past, Spoon demonstarted infinite patience and kindness which
Betty Neff
could have been only partly assumed. We got
the idea his bark was a bit worse than his bite.
"Occasionally you get a child who is rewarding," he admitted grudgingly. "Some are
very cute and some are out and out brats. This
job is something that's not taught - it's learned
through experience."
Just then small Tommy came up. He wanted a
clock he said.
"What kind of clock?" Santa asked.
"One that wakes me up in the morning. And a
telephone. That's all."
Santa took Tommy's hands in his.
"Let's ask the all-important question," he
said. "Have you been a good boy every day?"
"Mmmmhmmm," Tommy replied blithely.
"Every day?"
"Mmmmhmmm."
"I've heard a couple of reports that you've
been bad a few times - is that true?"
"Mmmmhmmm."
Well, at least 1 ommy wound up honest, and
Santa left him with the impression that he'd
probably get his wishes.
Coffee Break
Santa stretched, looked at the clock, and said
it was time for his break. Setting up a sign
reading, "Santa is feeding his reindeer," he led
us toward an employes' cafeteria for a cup of
coffee. En route, he favored startled children
with a "Hi there, sonny" and a promise to be
back at his barn in 15 minutes.
In the safety of the all-adult cafeteria, Spoon
Santa Glaus
sans beard turned out to be a fine-featured
curly-haired young man who was very unlike th;
Christmas saint in appearance.
He got into action accidentally. When he returned from service with the Air Force in 1952,
he had not settled on a career. He joined the
Lincolnwood Little Theater "as a social gesture," tried out for a play "and was given a part
quite different from the one I expected."
''Instead of the lead, I played a 60-year-old,
flea-bitten, rum-soaked reverend," he said, "I
did six or seven shows with the group and decided to turn professional on the advice of
friends, including a professional director."
He has appeared with the Skokie Civic Theatre
and the Drury Lane and Edgewater Beach summer
stock groups, in addition to the Lincolnwood
company. When his stint as Santa is through, he
will devote full time to a new puppet venture
headed by Nick Simon, a Hunga(ian who fled to
America after the anti-Communist revolt. The
group will do club dates, night club acts, commercials and will appear on children's television
shows.
"These puppets are unique outside of Europe,"
Spoon said. ''The heads and hands move in a
completely natural manner and you can make the
puppet do anything that you normally would do."
The puppets represent Spoon's dream of the
future, however; right now he's in the Santa
business to earn a little money in addition to
that experience he talked about.
"I try to avoid at all costs giving the kids a
permanent trauma," he declared. "Any kids
seem to be frightened. Santa Claus creates more

"We often have requests for live animals and

as a figure of terror, but a lot of them do. I've
had many burst into tears. 1 suppose Santa Claus

Spoon has a few words of advice for parents
who take weir children to see Santa Claus.
"Don't try to drag them in," he declared. "If
they want to go, fine - if they don't, let them
go in their own good time. And Please don't tell
them to sit on Santa's knee-I haven't been
thrown up on or wet on yet, and I don't want to
be.''
I-le patted his red plush suit and said crossly,
"It's 110 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit under here."
Then glancing at the clock, Spoon got ready
to don his wired beard and return to the barn.
"Sometimes we get teen-agers who go through
the line for kicks," he remarked. "Usually they
ask for Cadillacs. I tell them, in the current
parlance, that I'll give 'em an Ivy League. That's
a belt in the back."
We asked Spoon what He was going to be doing
Christmas Eve.
"I'm going out and get loaded," he replied.
We imagine that by now you realize
this
is no Santa to place a finger aside of his nose
and go whisking merrily up the chimeny. Instead,
he left us with a cheery nod and a quote from
one of the famous child-haters - Mencken, or
Shaw, or possibly W. C. Fields.
"Anybody who hates children and dogs can't
be All bad," he waved airily.

The first page of the most famous Christmas
story of modern times-Rudolph the Red Nosed '
Reindeer- conceived by Skokie writer Robert
L. May.
Ensconced in a garage in the rear of 9301
N. Hamlin in Skokie, is a six-foot character
who without doubt is the most famous personality
in all of Niles Township.
He is known to millions all over the world.
His name? Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer.
And the garage is owned by Rudolph's creatorwho, because of this achievement, might qualify
as Skokie's most famous citizen - Robert L.
May.
May himself was 53 on July 27. Rudolph will
be 20 next year.
It's a fascinating story, how Rudolph came
into being, but before we go into that, here are
some statistics:
You've heard of composers who receive
huzzahs when a composition has sold a million
copies and earned a coveted gold record? Well,
to date there have been 14 million recordings
of "Rudolph, the Red . Nosed Reindeer" sold.
Scores of artists have recorded this Christmas
standard. Gene Autry' s Columbia recording of
"Rudolph" tops the list with over three million
records sold to date.
This yel!1r, Rudolph will probably get to be
better known than ever before. Simon and Schuster,
publishers of the famous Go 1 den Books are
going to put out a twenty-five cent version of
"Rudolph," which these astute publishers feel
will reach astronomical millions .in sales. It
will be a completely new version, in prose, with
new art-work.
A technicolor feature, released annually for
the Christmas season, has been seen by countless millions in movie theatres all over the
world.
"Rudolph" toys? There have been literally
hundreds with the Rudolph motif: sweaters,
stockings, purses, blouses, lamps, dolls -you
name it and there's undoubtedly been a ''Rudolph,
the Red Nosed Reindeer" product connected
with it.
No Corporation
And who owns Rudolph? A multi-milyon dollar
corporation? Some big financial group headed
by a Wall street wizard?
Not at all. A mild, quiet, 5 3-year-old Skokian
named Robert L. May owns Rudolph, lock stock
RUDOLPH,THE
RED NOSED
REINDEER
At the request of a number
of parents, we are reprint·
ing nou - at Christmas
time - this story of "Rud·
dolph" and the Skokie man
who created him. The arti•
cle originally appeared in
our issue of July 31.
and barrel. No corporation. Not even a partnership. "Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer" is
his sole property.
And Rudolph has been mighty good to !ir. May,
his wife and five children. That beautiful,
modernistic six-room house at 9301 N. Hamlin
is all of Rudolph's doing. Instead of having to
pay · it off in 20 or 30 ye a rs, with Rudolph's
help May become sole owner of his Skokie castle
before five winters had passed.
Ooes all this mean that May sits in baronial
splendor in his Skokie castle, counting coupons?
Not at all.
From a practical standpoint, supporting a wife
and five children in the manner to which they
have become accustomed requires a sizeable
cash outlay.
The biggest winner over Rudolph's success
is not Mr. May - but Uncle Sam. The tax collectors have been the biggest sharers in Rudolph's
success. Today, May is back where he started
when Rudolph was born in 19 39: he's a copywriter at his old alma mater, Montgomery Ward's
main offices on Chicago Avenue.
And now here's the Rudolph story - that is,
how it all started.
After May, a native New Yorker and later New
Rochelle resident, graduated from Dartmouth,
he toiled for the two behemoths of the department
store world in New York City - both Macy's and
Gimbel's. It was his chore to take prosaic retail
goods, and embellish them with flowery prose
to make New Yorkers rush down Broadway and
purchase the items he described: he was a copywriter.
by ALEX TEITELMAN
to popular songs that proved to be the hit of the
affair.
So when a Montgomery Ward big,uig conceived
the idea of getting up some give-away that the
store's big mail order house, via their Santa
Clauses, could give to youngsters at Christmas •
time, he called in Bob May.
{
Wrote Parodies
As a hobby, May used to entertain friends at
parties with parodies of pop u 1 a r songs.. No
musician, he did have a way with words and
regaled parry-friends with witty parodies on hit
songs of the day.
The locale shifts to Chicago. The year is
1936. May is employed as a copywriter by Montgomery Ward and Company. In his offices on
Chicago Avenue, he turned out prose for Ward's
merchandise both in re ta i 1 ads and for their
tremendous catalogs.
An office Christmas party at Ward's proved to
be the mid-wife for Rudolph's birth. For at one
of these parties, May whipped up some parodies
'.
'
A partial group of some of the more than 200
"Rudolph" items that have been sold over the
years. Skokian Robert I,. May, Rudolph's
"Daddy," receives royalties on all these items.
�- ---------------- -------------"Bob, he said," I liked those parodies you
made up at the Christmas party. Do you think
you could think up some animal ::: haracter .and
put it in a story -you know, in poetry form, like that we could put in a booklet and give out ar
Christmas. You know this Ferdinand the Bull
character? Well, try ~nd think ua some other
animal that would appeal to kids. Okay?"
That was Bob's as~ignment. And he took it
seriously, spending many _ night toiling over
a
the project.
At last he came up with the answer: a reindeer
tha~, because of a physical affliction, would be
the laughing stock of his fellows. But in the
end, it would be this poor, dejected red-nosed
reindeer, who would save the day for Santa Claus
on a cloudy, foggy night when visibility was
practically zero. The animal hero was christened
Rudolph. Montgomery Ward assigned one of its
top artists, Denver Gillen, to bring to life Bob
May's animal hero.
The result was a 38-page booklet which Ward's
gave out to two and a half-million customers
the first year it was published - 1939. The outlets were the hundreds of Ward retail stores as
well as the 600 catalog stores owned by the
mail-order firm.
Free to Customers
Plans to put out the booklet went awry- the
next year, when war broke out in Europe and
all promotion plans went in the ash-can. Poor
Rudolph lay dormant for seven years. The war
ended ·in 1945 and for Christmas 1946, Ward's
again gave away "Rudolph, the Red Nosed
Reindeer" - and this time 3½ million copies
were distributed to the mail order firm's customers.
Then came the turning point of May's career.
Actually, the ownership of "Rudolph, the Red
Nosed Reindeer" belonged to Montgomery Ward
and Company. So if you've heard of hard-hearted
corporations -it isn't true in this case. Ward's
turned ownership - and copyright - over to May
himself, meaning any profits or any royalties
resulting from commercializing Rudolph belonged
to May himself.
Thus it was that when RCA-Victor came out
with a $3.00 album in Christmas, 1947, it was
May who received the royalties. The album was
in story form, narrated by Paul Wing. (A second
RCA album, "Rudolph's 2nd Christmas," came
out in 1951.)
The actual song, "Rudolph, the Red ;''{osed
Reindeer" wasn't born until September, 1949.
It 1ra.-. then that a good friend of \fay's named
Jo-hnny \larks u·rote the music for the so 11 g.
,\larks set up his ou·n firm to publish the song
and it came out in 194 9.
Instant Hit
It was an instant hit. As mentioned, Autry' s
Columbia record has now sold over 3 million and some 14 million records of the song have
been sold to date. So among other accomplish-
~
build his own home nine years ago in the Chicagoland area, he chose a site in Skokie - to put
up "the house that Rudolph built."
One of the factors that decided him on Skokie
was its rural setting and yet its proximity to
Chicago. The rural setting ha's changed a bit
since his home went up - as he's now surrounded
by neighbors - but the proximity to Chicago still
scands.
Likes Skokie Soil
He liked the Skokie soil - and still does. An
amateur gardener, Bob's favorite vegetable is
tomatoes and at the drop of a rake he will show
visitors his 10-feet high tomato vines.
An amateur psychiatrist might draw a relationship between Rudolph's crimson proboscis
and the scarlet-hue of May's tomatoes in his
Skokie back-yard. Be that as it may - or May,
if you prefer - growing the bright-red, Skokie bred tomatoes is Bob's favorite "green-thumb"
hobby. Some of his big tomatoes attain 1-¾
pounds and Bob is mighty proud of 'em.
Jn their seco/1/i C:hristmas (1950) in their neu•
Skokie home at Hamlin and Lyons, Robert L.
\lay reads the story of his creation, "Rudolph '
the Red Nosed Reindeer" to three of his youngsters: Ginger, Joanna and Chris.
ments, Rudolph was instrumental is setting up
a publishing firm for May's friend- Johnny Marks.
In 1950 so many firms wanted to put out toys,
novelties, clothing and what-not with the Rudolph
tag that May found he couldn't continue as a
copyrighier u ith ll'ard' s and handle the Rudolph
details, too.
So in 1951 he left Ward's and set up an office
in downtown Evanston to handle the Rudolph
ramifications. That summer he and his wife
combined business and pleasure and sailed for
Europe. Four reporters were on hand to interview
the Rudolph creaL"r when he arrived in London.
And this type of thing was repeated everywhere
the Mays went in Europe.
Riches didn't go to May's head. He is a firm
believer in contributing to the civic welfare of
his own community. To that extent he is a director of the Northeast Property Owners Association
in Skokie and was active in Fourth of July
affairs held by this group. He has served on the
Boy Scout Council in Evanston - in fact, his
oldest son, Chris, was the Evanston Boy Scout
representative to the World Jamboree held in
Europe last year.
Bob is also a member of the Evanston Club
and helped organize the Skokie optimists.
What about the book, ''Rudolph, the Red Nosed
Reindeer." Strange as it seems, May found it
difficult to get a publisher. The major firms contended the market was saturated. They contended
six million ,copies had been given out gratis by
Montgomery Ward and Company as a promotion
piece so who was going to pay good money to
buy "Rudolph" in book form?
Apart from tomatoes, Bob boasts about his
trees. A maple tree on his front lawn which was
only about 10 feet high when p 1 anted has
attained a SO foot height - a tribute either to
Bob's gardening ability or the richness of the
Skokie soil.
A creative character, May has turned out- other
literary works for youngsters - but none have
approached the Rudolph success. His "Benny
the Bunny Liked Beans" was published in 1941
by Knopf and wasn't too successful, by May's
own admittance. "It tried to be too tricky," he
confesses.
His "Winking Willie" was published by Maxton
10 years ago, with moderate success, and four
years ago he came out with "Rudolph Shines
Again." The latter sold pretty well, going over
the 50,000 mark.
A few months ago - February to be exactBob took stock and found that the Rudolph royalties were n_ot keeping pace rl'ith the May exchequer. Back to work he went and once more he's
a feature copywriter and mail order editor u·ith
Montgomery Ward's in their downtown Chicago
offices.
Does the farnf!d author of "Rudolph" go to
work in a Chauffeur driven Cadillac? "Heck no,"
he states, ''I go down in a car pool with other
guys from the office."
Bob is married to the former Virginia Newton
of Chicago. She is quite creative in her own
iight - although her field lies in painting rather
than literary efforts. A canvas of hers won an
award at the North Shore Exhibit recently.
Apparently doing creative work runs in the
family. The Mays' oldest daughter, Barbara, now
23, is writing and editing for a small New York
publishing firm. , The other May children, still
living in the Skokie home. that Rudolph built,
are: Joanna, 16; Chris., 15; Girt g er, 12, and
Martha, 5.
Finally, Rudolph came to the attention of a
Mrs. Elbaum, who was an edit or of Parent's
Magazine. Her husband, Harry Elbaum, owned
a small publishing firm called Maxton Publishing
Company. She persuaded her husband to put it
out.
,
In his scrapbook he keeps in his Skokie home,
Roh \lay has captioned this photo, "LUXURY!"
It sholl's the .\lays dining in style, complete u ith
iced champagne, u·hen they sailed for Europe in
1951 aboard the Queen ,\lary.
The result? Well, in the book publishing
business, you have a best-seller when 50,000
copies are sold. Put out in both 50 cent and
dollar and a quarter editions - the first year more
than a million copies of "Rudolph" were sold!.
I
It has been a perenial Christmas seller ever
since - and this year's Golden Book version by
Simon and Schuster should help make Rudolph
one of the all-time greats in the publishing field.
Bob is now secretary of his 1926 Dartmouth
class.
It is a feather in the cap of Skokie that when
Bob May had the wherewithal and decided to
Maybe Roh May's fondness for big, red tomatoes

Rooms Wanted
Dear Sir:
To develop a program for handicapped children in Niles Township,
it will be necessary to attract
teachers
who are specially
trained to work with exceptional
children. Since the supply of
special teachers is limited, every
effort must be ma::le to make the
Skokie area an inv icing place for
young teachers to work.
Because of good salaries and
nearness to metropolitan Chicago,
we feel we can appeal to new
teachers, if we can promise
applicants a place to live .
Many beginning teachers do
nor own cars, making it impossible
for them to accept positions in
the Township districts not served
by public transportation. For this
reason, they must live near the
school in which they are to teach.
Anyone in the Township having
an extra room they would b e
willing co rent to a beginning
single teacher, please contact
Mrs. Dorothy Mayfield, Secretary
to the Niles Township Department
of Spec i a I Education, East
Division High School, OR 6-2852 .

Post-Election Statements By Krier, School Board
Statement by Martin Krier,
Niles Townsi.ip Democratic
committeeman: "With the three
Saturday's
on
pro positions
school bond ballot being rejected by margins of up to 3
to 1, it is obvious that the
entire program was completely
out of step with the thinking
of the people of Niles Township.
"The Democratic organization said from the start that
our people simply could not
afford an 8 ½ million dollar
program at this time. We opposed
it openly and frankly on the
basis that taxes already are
crushing.
"The Democratic organization and I personally have said
th at we would support a
reasonable program. That this
was not a reasonable program
was fully proved in Saturday's
voting.
"The high school board would
have realized this had it
bothered to consult the rank
and file of taxpayers before
it decided to push its spending
proposal. We entered the campaign at the request of many,
many party members who begged
us to protect them from indiscriminate taxation.
''In this regard, we succeeded. This is not to say
that we oppose good, solid
educational facilities for the
children of the township. But
these facilities can be obtained
at a much more reasonable
cost - using the existing land
owned by the school board and
building without fancy frills.
"And they can be obtained
with the added advantage of
comprehensive, attractive
a
program for insuring the best
teaching personnel.
"We hope that the school
board has learned a lesson
is that if it hopes for support
in future programs it can't sneer
away the sincere objections
of the leaders of the township's
people as 'politically inspired.'
A formal statement by the
School board said:
"It is now up to the board
to come forth with a program
more in keeping with the
current facts of economic life."
"The turn-out of voters of
Niles Township High School
District 219 at the special
bond issue election on Saturday, December 13, 1958 was
most impressive. The Board
of Education truly appreciates
the interest shown by the peo-
ple of our community in the
high-school expansion needs
of our District.
"Obviously, a vote of these
proportions warrants the most
serious consideration by ·the
Board of Education. This consideration is now being given
to the issues involved. As
soon as the Board can come
forward with a recommended
program of action to the Township we shall do so."

�DEAD ISSUE
H
A
With the removal of John R.
O'Connell from the office of
Skokie police magistrate, his
celebrated lawsuit for free use
of a village courtroom now is
a dead issue.
By agreement of attorneys
for both sides, Judge Donald
S. McKinlay of Superior court
last week dismissed the action
that challenged a new village
ordinance that would charge
O'Connell UOO a day for use
of a village courtroom. The
suit was filed in June, 1957,
after O'Connell held court on
the village steps rather than
pay the rental charge.
Early this month O'Connell
was removed from office after
pleading guilty in Criminal
court to a charge stemming
from a grand jury investigation
into the justice of the peace
Ch a r g es against
system.
O'Connell involves his refusal to sign an immunity
waiver before the grand jury
and failure to keep or produce
proper records.

Activity project the advertising
and promotion of the use of
the New Testament of the

The thirty record album

the New Testament. The re·
cords are long playing and
unbreakable and can be heard
on 16 RPM and 33-1/3 RPM

which is included with each
album.
It is narrated by Rev. Robert

Catholic so honored was His
Excellency, Bishop Fulton J.

Rev.
Gannon's wonderful
work was first intended to bring
the words of the New Testament to the blind and the bedridden. Now, because of the
ever growing habit of listening
to radio and television, people
are taking advantage of hearing
and listening to the "Talking

,:/ ' ......
We receive many compliments for the fine art
work appearing on our covers, and we want to
report th'lt the gent responsible is one Sam
Brown -a real expert with the brush and pallette .
Sam has done the illustration for every Villager
cover since we began publication about nine
months ago - and sometimes reworks them two
or three times, depending on the reception he
gets in these quarters.
For example, note the two illustrations below.
The one at the top is Sam's first rendering for
o ur Nov. 13 issue - to go with feature editor
Betty Neff' s article on Orchard School: "A Monument to !Cindness."
···•··...
We rejected it on the ground that it didn't
quite catch the theme of the story: that a
spiritual force, manifested in the willing drudgery of many selfless persons, guides and
protects the unfortunate children at Orchard
School.
Sam then came up with the drawing at the
bottom, reproduced here as it appeared on the
ov. 13 cover.
We were well satisfied with it - but now we're
beginning to wonder if we were right. The more
we look at Sam's original piece, the more we
respect the feeling of love and tenderness he
worked into it.
It's water over the dam now, but we thought
some of you readers might like to get in a post
mortem opinion. Were we right, or wrong?

A lively battle for votes
shaped up today as Jines were
drawn between forces for and
against a proposed (8,625,000
bond issue for high school
expansion i □ Nil~ 6 Township.
The high school board of
education's plan to acquire
a portion of the Evanston Golf
Club for an additional school
site was the key issue in the
Dec. 13 referendum.
The golf club membership
announced last week that it
will not sell the property
coveted by the board- a 31.4acre tract at the southeast
corner of Dempster St. and
Skokie Blvd.
President M. William Wise
and other members of the
school board (District 219)
replied ,:hat if the voters approve
the bond issue and if the golf
club will not sell the property,
then the board will immediately
acquire it by condemnatio n
proceedings .
Ia its notice announcing the
Dec. 13 vote, the school board
listed three separate propositions:
i6,500,000 be
1. Should
spent to acquire the golf club
property and build thereon an
additional ( third) high school?
2. Should $1,000,000 be spent
to acquire approximate ly 55
acres between Harlem Ave.
and Waukegan Rd., south of
Dempster St. in Morton Grove,
as the possible site for a fourth
School building?
SI, 125,000 be
3. Should
spent to build additions to
each of the present high school
buildings (Nilehi east and
west divisions)?
propositions appear
(The
in full on Page 29 of this issue.)
Although strong opposition
to the overall program was
expected to develop from
economy-mi nded residents of
the high school district, most
heated disapproval came from
the golf club membership and
among persons whose homes
abut ch e golf club property.
Attorney Marshall McMahon,
former president of the golf
club who has led opposition
to the school board program,
told a reporter:
"We are not interested in
selling. A lot of other property
can be acquired. There are
literally hundreds of acres
available in Niles Township
which are more suitable and
a lot less expensive." He said
the area northeast of the intersection of Gross Point Rd.
and Skokie Blvd. was a good
example.
Wise disagreed. He said
appraisers had advised the
board the Sharp Comer area
property • 'would cost us twice
as much as the golf club site.''
This estimate, said Wise,
was based on prices quoted
by the owners of the property
and on present and prospective
earnings there.
He said the golf club site
also was chosen because of
its nearness to the township's
area of heaviest population.
He said this would mean a
savings of ~70,000 a year i □
transportatio n costs.
Wise made the point that
a golf club arch i t e ct had
estimated the course could
be re-arranged easily to accommodate elsewhere the two holes
that the school grounds would
infringe on. However, McMahon
said: "You can't stop at two
or tJuee holes. You'd have to
revise several others. The
architect said this alone would
cost $350,000 to ~500,000."
What the school board was
talking about in the way of
a price for the golf club land
wasn't disclosed.

THE VILLAGER
November 20, 1958
A FAIR SHA KE
The Skokie village fathers are to be commended
for their stand in opposing a motel for Skokie
Blvd. near the Sharp Corner school.
Although everyone concedes 'that the tloward
Johnson interests, who proposed the establishment, undoubtedly would conduct the operation
on a high plane, a motel by its very nature poses
special problems for a school neighborhood. For
one thing, the transient nature of its clientel
could be a disturbing factor.
In an impressive display of organization, members of the school district's board of education
and its PT A's mustered a "no-motel" vot_e of
more than 1,800 Saturday. Only fifty okayed the
motel- and these votes were. interpr~ted as
favoring a motel over possible townhouses.
Which leads to an interesting question: What
finally will be suitable for the "triangle" north
of Sharp Corner and east of Skokie Blvd. It is
zoned for residential purposes, but obviously
will not attract single-family homeowners. Skokie
Blvd. is much too busy a street and there already
are a number of commercial establishments in
the area.
The high school board has nixed it as a site
for construction of another high school.
But while we feel a motel so close to th e
school could be detrimental, and support the
Sharp Corner people in this regard, we must take
exception to another less-publicized movement
in the area. Although a huge new bowling alley
has been approved for the "dump" section of
the district northwest of Skokie Blvd., and a
considerable distance from the school, there is
a great amount of pressure being put on Mayor
Ambrose Reiter not to approve the transfer of
a liquor license to it.
This strikes us as being unfair and unrealistic.
The transfer of such licenses has, in the past,
been taken for granted. The owners of the new
lanes had every right to believe that when they
petitioned for, and were granted, the right to
go ahead with their enterprise they would be
extended the privilege of maintaining a bar in
it.
The ownership of the new lanes is headed by
Mr. Neisen Harris, the man who founded the Toni
company and built jt into the huge operation it
is today. In addition to being an executive of
that firm, he is a director of the Gillette company and president of the Papermate pen com pany. The other owners likewise are men of
considerable stature in the business world.
Their plan is to bring the highest type of
operation to the new lanes . To treat them as if
they were trying to foist some kind of illegal
Jperation on the village is ridiculous.
The question of whether or not the bowling
alley should have been constru'4,ted is not at
iss~e. It is an accomplished fact .
And to deny them the right given to every other
bowling alley in the area is discriminatory. The
serving of beer and other beverages at bowling
lanes is something that adult bowlers expect.
If school children are going to be wrongfully
influenced by the serving of such beverages at
the new alley, then certainly they are being so
influenced by the thousands in Niles Township
every day . For we see them by the dozens going
into these places with their parents. The •parents
seem to see no harm in exposing their own children to these influences. Obviously, there is no
harm - anymore than there is in serving drinks
at the many family-type restaurants in the community.
We are in receipt of a property owners' association newsletter which discusses the subject
with some vehemence. It refers to ''this re-zoning
blight'' put forth by ''Harris Chicago Syndicate'',
calls on Mayor Reiter to "enforce the will of
the people" and to "rise above the profiteers
and the politicians, to protect the p e op 1 e."
Skokie, it says, has be~ome the "Liquor Center
of Cook County."
This type of thing can only excite further
emotion in an already emotion-charge d issue.
The facts are that children will not be harmed
by . the transfer of the license, that if people
need protecting they need it from 45 other liquorserving establishments also, and that as long
as Skokie is not a dry town any person of reputable
standing who can afford a license and has a
proper place to use it is entitled co do so.
Mr. Harris and his associates are entitled
to a fair shake. And Mr. Reiter should give it
to chem.

Civic Theatre
Seeks Thespians
The Skokie Civic Theatre
will hold tryouts Nov. 20 and
21 for its next production
"Brave New World", by Aldou·s
Huxley. The tryouts will be
held at the Devonshire Com·
munity Center, 4400 Grove
St. in Skokie at 8 p.m. At that
time Helen Simon, who will
direct the play, will au'dition
anyone interested in reading
for a part. "Brave New World"
will be presented in chamber
theatre by the group in Februaty.
Attending the bridegroom
were Stanley Johnston of
Wheaton as best man; Ronald
Michalsen, Gordon Michalsen
and Kenneth Hjarpe of Crystal
Lake as ushers and Randy
Hedstrom and Brian Ogne as
junior ushers.
The bride wore a gown of
silk organ~a with a tiered
bouffant skirt, the last tier
forming a chapel train. The
ruffles were daintily embroidered and edged with lace.
Her crown was pearl orange
blossoms with an elbow length ,
veil. She carried a cascade of
white roses with ivy streamers.
The bride's attendants wore
ice pink silk organza frocks
and carried cascades of deep
purple asters with ivy streamers.
A beige lace sheath was
worn by the mother of th e
bride and she wore a beige
orchid corsage on her purse.
The mother of the bridegroom
wore a light blue silk sheath
with a white• orchid corsage.
Following the wedding ceremony, a . reception was held
in the Fellowship Hall of the
church.
Prior to her marriage, the
young bride was a registered
nurse associated with the North
Suburban Clinic in Skokie.
The newlyweds are now at
home in Fort Monmouth, New
Jersey where Ogne is attending
meteorogology school at the
Army's Signal Corps Base.
Somehow seeing the flag at half mast, witnessing a firing squad give a salute, or hearing
"Taps" on a bugle, never ceases to leave a
lump in our throat.
The pity of it all is that those who died and
who gave part of themselves for their country
are so quickly forgotten.
It takes a Veteran's Day, or Memorial Day to
bring this into focus. Fortunately, the veterans'
groups and legion groups work constantly toward
remembrance.
If the average citizen could spend one day
in Hines Veteran's hospital, or any vet's hospital,
it might bring a new awareness of the plight of
many of these men who must spend the rest of
their lives in a bed or a chair.
There is nothing we can do for those wives
and mothers who suffered complete loss except
to pray that God has eased some of their pain
during the years.
But it's the ones who .are left with whom we
are concerned. Give . it a thought. While in the
midst of compiling your holiday gift list, jot
down a note for the vets out at the liospitals.
Stella White, veteran radio commentator, will
celebrate her 5,000 broadcast on Friday, Nov.
21. Miss White, currently heard on WEAW (1330
on the dial) from 9: 30-10: 30 each weekday morning,
presents "a woman's view point in a man's world."
A wonderful and very talented woman, we wish
her the very best.
Mrs. Charles Wells, 5351 George St., Skokie,
is doing her bit to get a turkey in every pot on
Thanksgiving. She won six of them at the C&W
Tap recently, kept two and gave four away.
There is _enough ego in our makeup to appreciate
learning that this column is a "first-must" with
some people. For t'his we are deeply grateful.
1¥.e are especially indebted to "Gen" Lindberg
of Northbrook who also makes it her business
to read whatever book we happen to discuss.
We love you, too, "Gen."
Memo to Mrs. Ellen Borden Stevenson: ''Shux,
ma'am, why bother dispossessing your poor, old
mother from that silly little mansion. If you get
real desperate, you can come and share room and
board with us. We don't have a modern mansion it's more on the medieval side. We have radiators
instead of duct work and some of our light fixtures (the ones we used to replace the gas jets)
are still lit by pulling a chain, but the plumbing
i s inside. And since we sure do admire your
ex-husband, we'd like to lend a helping hand.
So feel free to join us. But you'll have to leave
some of your cars at home. We have a wooden
garage on the alley side of the lot, but we jest
never did get around to putting on a door."
At Hines I walked through rooms ..... Where
stood beds row on row ..... And saw so many
different faces ..... That tried hard not to show
..... That they might be lonely ..... But surely
you can guess ..... Spending one's life in a
helpless state •.... Can't bring much of happiness ..... Different races, every creed .....
In that long corridor ..... But each man's
face I saw ..... God's own image wore .....
So make remembering an ill one ..... Your next
giving goal . .... Bring a small ray of lif?.ht .. ...
Into a lonely soul.

'FOR
THE
DEFENSE'
Morton Grove's
Mild-Mannered Bill
•
George IS 'Public Enemy
No.
1' for National
Football League
Ball Carriers
by MORT KAPLAN
Chicago Bear program book
says: Bill George; Guard; Wake Forest; Ht. 6'
2½"; Wt. 235; born in Waynesburg, Pa., Oct. 27,
1929. (However, Bill's jersey number now is 61.)
Leo Harvey George is ten months old and
weighs in at a roly-poly 26 pounds. He comes
by his robust physique naturally because his
"pop," 29 year old Bill George, is . a rugged 6
ft. 2½ inch 235 pounder.
Aside from the distinction of being Leo's dad,
Bill George also happens to be the defensive
captain and star linebacker for a group of professional football players known as the Chicago
Bears.
Leo doesn't seem to be the least bit interested
in playing defense, like his father.
"He crawls around like a fullback," according
to 'dad'. "Head down, banging into everything."
"Hope he changes his mind," adds George,
Sr. "I watch Rick (Casares, Bear Fullback)
take all that punishment every Sunday."
Not so concerned with the baby's football
prowess for the time being is Mrs. Bill George.
The former Lucy Truss~er, now pert charge-d'affairs-domestic in the George household, is
more occupied with tending to their comfortable
Morton Grove ranch home and supplying her two
boys with plenty of nourishment.
"Neither of them is much of a problem as far
as food is concerned," she chided. "It doesn't
make much di/ ference what you serve as long
as there's plenty of it."
Coincidentally, Bill and Lucy were both born
in Pennsylvania less than 150 miles apart. Yet,
it wasn't until both migrated to Chicago, he
working with the Bears and she as an airline
stewardess, that they met. Lucy was introduced
to Bill through a friend who had been dating one
of Bill's teammates."That's how she roped me,"
kidded the broad-shouldered Bear captain.
Waynesburg to Winston - Salem to Morton Grove
George was a star on the high school team in
his native Waynesburg, Pa., and although he
established quite a reputation as a schoolboy
fullback, it wasn't Bill George the college scouts
came around to see. Playing in the same vicinity
was Leo Koceski, who went on to a fine career
at the university of Michigan. "The scouts,"
explained Bill, ''came to see Koceski and any
other big linemen that might be around. Pennsylvania has a reputation for growing them big,
you know. About one hour after I heard the
scouts were inquiring, I became a lineman.
Practically the next thing I knew, I was playing
at Wake Forest college in Winston-Salem, North
Carolina.
Marmora avenue, Morton Grove is a long way
from Wake Forest, where George, incidentally,
was also an intercollegiate wrestling champion,
but by now it's safe to assume there are almost
as many Bear fans of the block as there are foot·
ball fans. Bill and Lucy George bought their
brown-brick domain from the Gene Schroeders
last May. Schroeder, you may recall, played end
for the Bears up until last season.
"We love it here," enthused Lucy. "It's a
wonderful community; everything a young family
could want for environment, including grand
neighbors." The next-door neighbors, the Paul
Germains, feel the same way about their neigh•
bors, the Georges. "Some of the women on the
block,'' says Paul Germain, •'get together for
some socializing every week and as for Bill,
he's out there pulling up weeds just like the
rest of us."
A Great Talent
When Bill George isn't tearing up weeks, he's
either tearing up the turf at Wrigley Field or
causing opposing coaches to tear their hair at
the sight of his bone-crushing tackles and defensive brilliance.
The man with the two first names have been
thwarting enemy offensive patterns since he
joined the Bears in 1952, after a brilliant college
career which saw him win All-America mention.
He capped his collegiate play with an appearance
in Soldier Field, Chicago, as a member of the
College All Stars.
The likeable Bear stalwart may not have inspired the phrase, "Let George Do It," but he's
been maintaining it in the grand manner since
turning ''pro'', and is recognized as probably

the greatest linebacker and middle-guard in pro·
fessional football. He has been selected for the
All-National Football League squad three times
and for the past three seasons has been named
to the Western division all-star team in the
annual East-West Classic.
George modestly asserts that he's been ''over
the hill" for the past two seasons, "but the
coaches haven't found me out yet.'' Apparently,
neither has anyone else, because, in addition
to making his living by allowing no opponent to
cross his path ... with a football ... he calls
signals in defensive coach Clark Shaughnessy's
intricate alignments. It's George's job to know,
in addition to his own assignment, every defensive pattern and adjustment that the team
may be called upon to make and he's the one who
must call upon them to make it!
Brawny Bill is unstinting in his praise of
Shaughnessy and George Halas, head coach, as
well as the rest of what he believes to be the
most brilliant coaching staff ever assembled.
George considers himself fortunate in having
come under the tutelage of fine football mentors
throughout his entire playing career.
Anecdotes and Banquets
fie recalled his old coach at Wake Forest,
"Peahead" II alker. "Old 'Peahead' was a great
humorist as well as a fine coach, " laughed
Bill. "Someone once asked 'Peahead' how he
separated a lineman from a backfield man and
a,id save a touchdown. Officials r1tletl it ""
in completed pass t1n1l the Bears we,it o,e to 1t1i•
21·15, in game at Wrigley Field last year.
'Peahead' said he sent his boys runni1tt into
the woods. Those that rai, around the trees l,ecame backs and those that knocked them over
became linemen."
This anecdote is part of the good-humored
George's banquet material and now, he confided,
he couldn't use it at the Morton Grove Chamber
of Commerce Dinner on November 26. "Guess
I'll just have to borrow some material from
Freddie Williams," he grinned. w·illiams, giant
Bear tackle, is also the club's locker room
humorist, in addition to being one of the most
under-rated players in the game, according to
his teammate.
George described an incident when the Bears
were being mauled by the New York Giants in
the league championship game in 1956 ..
"All week the coaches and newspa/'erm.e,i
u ere comparing rival quarterbacks. !Ye were
warned about how crafty Charley Cone·rly a,id
Don Heinrich were. We were behind about 37·7
when the Giants sent a play between Fred
Williams and me. 1 he Giant halfback went about
45 yards for a touchdown. I'll never forget it:
Fred turned to me and said, 'You know, Bill,
those Giant quarterbacks can't be so smart or
they'd have .been sending that play through us
all day."
That is another one the Bear captain can't use
at the banquet.
Wasn't the soft-spoken athlete worried about
all those calories that invariably accompany
banquet appearances? "Not at all," he revealed.
Looking just as rough and ready as his dad is
\ young Leo George as the two play in the living
room of the Bear lineman's Morton Grove home.
�25
ovember 20, 1958
"It ooly gets rough during the off-season when
you're not doing as much to keep active. Then,
I may shoot up to about 250 because, aside from
wccking around the house, the only other real
exercise I get is golf. I'm a snake-killer you
know." George, we have it on good authority,
is considerably better than that.
The trace of Eastern accent is camouflaged
in the ready wit of this affable Pennsylvanian.
It fits perfectly with the informal "lived-in"
pattern of the home, especially the "wreck
room" where the George soirees are held. These
frequent get-togethers usually include many of
his Bear "mates" and their wives, among them
the Larry Stricklands, Stan Wallaces (George's
"roomie" on the road), the Fted Williamses and
George and Betty Blanda.
There is a cameraderie among the players
much the same as the New York Yanke~s share
share in baseball. It reflects in social as well
as professional relationships. Bill is quick to
point out that this is nothing extraordinary am_ong
athletes just as it's normal in business. But it
results in a more natural harmony and cohesiveness on the playing field, he believes. He feels
that jealousies and strained feelings among
members of the same team contribute to a club's
downfall. Bobby Lane and Tobin Rote, when
both were with the Detroit Lions, reportedly
felt ihe frictions of two star quarterbacks on the
same team. It showed in Detroit's play and
Layne subsequently was traded to Pittsburgh.
"The wives are friends, too," adds Lucy.
"Betty Strickland usually picks me up the Sunday
of a game ... after arrangements have been made
for the baby-sitter." Finding baby-sitters, for
some reason, poses no problem for a star
athlete's family.
Preparing for Battle
What is a day in the life of a pro football
player like? During the week- the Bears are off
on Mondays - they hold drills and skull session
but no scrimmaging, according to George.
" o point in risking injury unnecessarily,"
he explains. "I'm usually up between 8 and 9
a.m., whether it's for practice or the day of a
game. Generally, 1 meet some of the fellows for
breakfast near Wrigley Field. We take it leisurely
and arrive at the park in plenty of time to "kibbitz" around in the locker room. Then, Ed Rozy
takes over with the tape and liniment, etc."
Rozy is the Bear trainer and himself a Niles
resident.
''Ed knows about as much as a doctor,'' declared Bill, who gives the veteran "healer"
credit for keeping the team in peak physical
condition. "Then the coaching staff goes over
the last minute details with us and we're ready
to go.''
... And there is something to be said for the
Chicago Bears when "they go," but when they
lose, Bill George is an unhappy man. As bad as
he feels, though, a few others among his personal
rooting section feel equally bad. Bill's easygoing nature ( off the field) enables him to get
over his disappointments and prepare for .the
following week's game, but no so with Lucy, a
wildly enthusiastic rooter, nor with Bill's sister
or mother Zeraph, back in Waynesburg. They
are, perhaps, the keenest of all the Bill George
fans. "Mom dies when we lose," he acknowledges. Bill, the baby of the family, also has
two brothers; Albert, now a marine and Nick, an
automobile dealer in North Carolina.
Pro Football's "Hew Look"
..
George fee ls there are many factors contributing to the recent surge of interest in pro
football. Among them, he cites TV and vast
amounts of publicity; modernized rules and
officiating; great league balance and a great
scientific application by the coaches.
About the officiating, George thinks it's excellent as a rule, no matter how much complaining there is during the heat of battle. He
compared the ga.me to pro basketball, where the
whistle impedes the progress of the game considerably. He said an official who has called a
penalty will automatically "walk it off" or ab-

stain from doing so when it is obvious as to
what choice the team captain would make. "That
.;,ay the official doesn't have to wait 'cil the
captain gets off the seat of his pants and gets
over to discuss the matter." The captain still
can stop the official if he chooses opposite.
George credits wild enthusiasm for the sport
and attendant newspaper headlines with precipitating some of the recently publicized altercations involving fans who have streamed..to the field. He picks the Bears, naturally, as
the most loyal fans, and the Baltimore Colts as
having the noisiest.
ls pro football dirty? "There's a fine line
between rough football and dirty football,"
answered George. "I really can't say there's
much dirty football, but an eager player may
continue his motion after a whistle blows because it may be impossible to stop short without
risking p ersonal injury. This may not be obvious
to the fans who will boo at what may seem like
piling on or roughing the passer or some such
thing. For this reason, it's important for the
player to protect himself on the field at all
times, even when you think the play is dead.
You have to be ready for anything.
• 'Clipping is probably the easiest way to get
seriously hurt. Someone comes up at an angle
to block you and you don't see him. You might
cut away in the opposite direction just as he
launches his block.
George counts his blessings that no injury
has shelved him for long, aside from the usual
bumps and bruises. He encountered only a troublesome knee injury in recent fears, now well
healed. It hasn't hampered him any, a fact to
which opposing players will readily attest.
His teammates sometimes kiddingly call him
(
"Greek" ... knowing well that he is of Syrian
extraction •'It started,'' mused Bill, • 'when I
came up to the club as a rookie. 'Bulldog' Turner (
(famed Bear center now a coach with the team)
thought I was related to a coach he'd known in
the Southwest conference, who happened to
(
have the same last name; and who happened to
be Greek. I made the point that I wasn't Greek
but Syrian. I may have been a little too emphatic (
and fellows like 'Bulldog' and George Connor
(also a former Bear) had some fun at the expense
of a rookie.''

The Future
George, a keen diagnostician of the game,
hasn't given too much thought to his football
future. "As long as the coaches think I can do
the job for them, I hope to be with the Bears,"
he stated. "After that, I really don't know. I have
a wonderful job here in the community with Interstate Steel Company, a fine organization. They're
treated me swell and I think I have a real future
here.''
As for the future of the George clan, Lucy's
grandfather and grandmother are both from a set
of twins. Bill would bust his buttons if he could
walk into the clubhouse and announce a pair of
new born tackles some day. Of course, the
possibility of a couple of cheerleaders also
exists, and Bill agrees he would love it just
as much.
A grand addition to Niles Township is the
BHl George family, linebacker Bill ... cheerleader Lucy . .. and Leo.

'0 K Corr al' Com plete s
e-,
30-Y ear Cycl e
by GILBERT GARDNER
Thirty years ago - about 1928 - this is what the
O . K. Corral looked like. It was then known as
Orphan Annie's Barbecue. Girl second from left
is Mary Smith (now Mrs . Fred A . Rymer) . She was
then a teenager. In background can be seen
wires of the "el", which then ran trains to
Skokie.
ing!
Here is how the building looks today as the 0. K.
Corral. Exterior is not much different from what
it was more than 30 years ano, In the thirties
Orphan Annie's Barbecue went out of business
and a cab stand operated from the building.
It reverted to a barbecue this year when Mort
and Jerry Lee took it over.
It was a long time between barbecued beefburgers - 30 years, to be exact - for Mrs. Fred
A.Rymer, of 5612 Main St., Morton Grove.
But Mrs. Rymer estimates it was exactly 30
years between the time she was a waitress at
Orphan Annie's Barbecue, 4947 Dempster St.,
Skokie and one day last week when she paused
for a barbecued beef sandwich at the O.K. Corral ,
at the same address.
In those three decades, Orphan Annie's Barbecue went out of business and the building became
a taxicab stand. A lot of changes have taken
place in the neighborhood, Mrs. Rymer observed.
She recalled that there were few houses in the
area at the time and the "El" used to run trains
out here.
The building itself, which housed Orphan
Annie's, is still the same frame on the outside. The
interior has changed, however, and this past
summer was taken over by Mort and Jerry Lee,
who did not know of the building's past history.
They converted it from a taxicab headquarters
to a deluxe open pit hickory barbecue establishment, known as the O.K. Corral.
It seems destined to be a ba rbecu~ restaurant,
Mort Lee told a Villager reporter, for neither he
nor his brother was mindful of the building's
past.
For a short time the building was a residence .
After Ed Boss, owner of Orphan Annie's went
out of business in the depression, it was a
dwelling and a family lived there, but Mrs. Rymer
doesn't recall who dwelt there.
"When I was• a waitress here in 1928," Mrs.
Rymer told a reporter, • 'I never thought' 30 years
later I would be on the other side of the counter
at the same location."
Mrs. Rymer, who, as teena.ges Mary Smith,
served Orphan Annie's customers barbecued
beefburgers and french fries at 25 cents, enjoyed
a similar dish in the same locale, but at the
O.K. Corral one day last week.
Interior of Orphan Annie's Barbecue as it appeared about 1928. That's Mrs. Rymer, on the
left, standing with hand on hip. Others in the
picture are not identified. Prices on the wall
offer barbecue beef sandwich, which, with french
fries and radis.hes, sold for 25 cents .
Here's the interior of the 0. K. Corral today.
From the left are: Mrs. Laurie Lringe, of 4863
Carol, Skokie; Mrs. Penny Hauser, of 8944 Bronx,
Skokie; Bob Ness , Skokie village inspector; and
Mort Lee, one of the owners.

Economic Trip
Across Country
By Catalina
E p st e en Pontiac
Peter
announces that 1959 Pontiac
Catalina sport sedan has just
completed a 2,442.7 mile coastto-coast trip at a cost of $35. 79,
averaging 21. 7 miles per gallon
with an average speed of 40.2
miles per hour for the entire
trip.
Driven by Tom McCahill,
famous automotive writer and
noted car tester and under the
supervision of NASCAR officials, the 1959 car was equipped
with a regular production 215
Tempest 420-E
horsepower
economy engine designed to
use regular grade gasoline.
The use of regular fuel, coupled
with higher gasoline mileage,
gave the 1959 Pontiac a savings
in operational costs of well
over 20 per cent.
MaCahill drove the car under
normal conditions from San
Diego, Calif., to Savannah,,
Ga.
The $35. 79 spent on gas
and oil for the 2,442.7 miles
of travel represents a cost of
1 ½ cents per mile to operate
the car from coast to coast
under conditions experienced
by the average driver. Regular
grade gasoline was used and
was purchased from major oil
companies without the benefit
of any type of discount advantage.

series of lessons on baton twirling by Ann
Lenox, counselor for the "Cougarettes" Sons
of the American Legion Drum and Bugle Corps.
a
BATON ART:
'PASS UNDER THE LEGS'
by ANN LENOX
The pass under the leg movement is actually
-:ompleting a two hand spin under the legs.
First do a two hand spin followed by a pass
around the back. When the baton is grasped in
the right hand, start the front hand spin action.
As the baton is being brought to the front,
raise the right leg, remembering to point the toe
down ward. As the baton starts to revolve over
the ·thumb, stick the right hand, with baton, under
the right leg.
Catch baton in left hand palm up and complete
the circle or the two hand spin action of ih e
left hand. Take baton back in the right hand
palm down, and you should be back to first
position.
Now start the front hand spin action again
raising the left leg, as the baton is ready to roll
over the thumb, under the left leg, catch baton
palm up in the left hand and complete the two
hand spin.
This is a very eye-catching trick and can be
repeated as many times as desired. Remember
to raise the leg high, point the toe and do not
bend at the waist.

BOYS' TOWN IN KOREA
-AND A QUESTION ASKED OF NILES TOWNSHIP
by Sheryl Leonard
It's a familiar picture-the one of a little boy,
his clothes ragged, his feet shoeless, carrying
another youngster on his .back. The caption with
this reads: "He's not heavy, he's my brother."
This symbol of Boy's Town in America has
now penetrated into the remote · province of
J amsil in Korea.
After VJ Day, thousands of Koreans came
back from their long exile and millions · more of
North Koreans fled to South Korea seeking the
freedom and security they could not find under
the Communists.
This mass movement to South Korea caused
turmoil, confusion and disorder to the newly born
Republic of Korea.
The streets were soon echoing with the cries
of orphaned children left homeless and without
food. However, their cries were heard by the
Rev. Woochul Simon Ri of the Seoul Vicarfate,
who decided to do something about those cries.
Father Flanagan Arrives
It was at that time that Father Flanagan, famous founder of our own Boy's Town, visited
Korea, and with the Rev. Ri, started the movement that was to become the Boy's Town of
J amsil, Korea.
At first, Father Ri started with five orphans
whom he had found wandering around the Seoul
Railroad Station. He took them to his church for
care.
With the formal approval of the bishop and
encouragement from the Catholic Church, some
farm land was obtained and a few de so 1 ate
houses repaired and put to use to care for more
of these boys.
After a year, housing for 60 boys was completed and by the end of 1949, sickroom, medical
room and chapel were finished.
New Terrors with Korean War
It seemed as if their work was hardly begun
when the Korean was broke out. About 20 youngsters were left in Boy's Town while the others
were taken to refuge in South Korea.
The hardships and deprivations these youngsters suffered were many since Kum Sa-ri, the
village where they went, was on the black list
of the Communists.
Upon the restoration of Seoul, the boys were
all returned to Boy's Town.
Today, Father Ri is working almost miracles
in caring for his young charges. But the need for
clothing, medical supplies, housing, educational
and recreational facilities, is great.
Pfc. Leuth Relays Story
A lot of help is given this Boy's Town by our
own GI's stationed in Korea. It was though one
of these men, Pfc. Richard Leuth of Glenview,
stationed in the area where Boy's Town is located, that the story of the need to help these
They may not be professionals , but these four
members of Boy's Town in Korea really emote
during a performance - bare feet not withstanding .
Voices cannot be heard on a photo - but this
group of Korean Youngsters gather together in
song, grateful for the roof over their heads and
a place they might call home.
came to the exclusive atorphaned youngsters _
tention of The Villager.
Leuth's aunt, Mrs. Bill Gould, 4420 Concord
Lane, Skokie, came to The Villager office with
the hope that this newspaper could be instrumen•
tal in getting one or more of the philanthropic
groups in this area interested in the desperate
plight of these boys.
Following are excerpts of a letter received
from Father Ri, Director of Boy's Town in Jamsil, Korea. The Villager has not changed any of
Father Ri's sentiments or spelling, in its sincere
hope that some group will take the message expressed in these quoted excerpts into its heart
and do something about it.
Says Father Ri: "The boys are almost parentless and war orphans, although I have some boys
not parentless but were wandering the city with
the moral dangers and with the poor livelihood.
"Sometimes I take them when I find these poor
wandering the city, sometimes the Fathers and
Sisters take them in, sometimes the boys come
in themselves, sometimes Gls bring them in,
sometimes government and public officers send
them and sometimes the people take them in.
"This- social work aims to accommodate or•
phans and destitute boys to give intellectual,
moral and physical training and to brighten their
future ,o as to enable them to be of help and
service to society.
"I have many financial necessities to furnish
the expenses, by example, for school payments,
constructions and reparations, dispensary, equipments, coal to cook and to warm in winter,
.
laundry, etc.
"Until now, the boys have no much the equipment of the recreations or amusements, as we
were so much busy to make the necessary houses
for their life, and we had no much money to
spare for the amusements.
"The provision of the cloths must be helped.
The cloths the boys have now became almost to
be rags. It is not enough to wear for all the boys
and we must provide more for the new boys who
will come in winter.
"I have the boys now at 151 from 6 years old
to those, under 17. Every middle school boy can
write, read and speak English and few ~ys
speak very nice English as they were sometime
before by Gls and are corresponding with Americans who are interest to adopt them.
"Corresponding with your generous askings,
I remain very happy and glad with my best prayers
for you that God may bless you and all yours. Rev. Father Woochul Simon Ri, Director of Boy's
Town, Sung Sim Won, Sacred Heart Institute,
J amsil, Korea.''
In front, Henry and Lee, two of the vast
family of Boy's Town, and standing in back, Ray
Hayes, American GI who did so much to help
this project, and Father Lee.
More than just a tower on a building, this tower
in one of strength and compassion - proclaiming
this place a haven for orphaned youngsters.

the story of these orphans was brought to the
attention of The Villager.

I have started my umpteenth diet in recent
years and like all the others, it is undoubtedly
doomed to failure. The last diet I tried included
sharing ourdog's food. I haven't lost any weight,
but I am barking better. I got so hungry on one
of our camping trips last summer that I had to
broil a couple of tent stakes. I hope you read the
government report recently concerning reducing
pills, chewing gums, liquids, and machines.
According to the men who conducted this survey,
the implied promises are misleading and deceptive.
They went on to say that the only way one can
reduce is to just plain give up food. In conjunction with that, here's a little saying that might
help: a moment in my mouth, a few hours in my
stomach, and a lifetime on my hips.
Had a letter from my aunt the other day. She
tells us that Uncle Headlock was rushed to the
hospital where he took a turn for the nurse.

"HIS and HER"
PEN SET
A Checking Account saves you time, steps,
and car fare . .. and provides a permanent
record of the bills . you have paid . If you
need only a few checks a mon1h, open a
Special Checking Account; if you use many
checks, a Regular Checking Account might
be best. Come in and let us help you decide .
Did you know that population-wise, the North
Shore suburbs are growing faster than any other
area in Chicagoland? Did you know that ther e
are no hospital beds in Skokie, Lincolnwood,
Morton Grove, Northfield, Northbrook, Glenview,
and Golf? Did you know that this is an area of
more than 125,000 persons? Did you know that
one out of every eight persons will be hospitalize·d
this next year according to a national survey?
A group of civic-minded citizens asked themselves the foregoing questions and decided that
these communities needed their own hospital
facilities. That is why one of your neighbors will
call on you soon. He will ask you to contribute
toward the building fund. Even though hundreds
of thousands of dollars hav~ already been pledged
by business and industry in this area, there will
still remain about $750,000 to be raised from the
30,000 families who will be the pri_
mary users
of this hospital. Ask yourself this question: "How
much does it mean to me to have a hospital in
my own community?" I think it most imperative
that we all make a generous pledge. We need
the Skokie Valley Hospital.

If you're not completely disenchanted (as
I am) with the 1959 cars, maybe this will help
change your mind. A loop garage has announced
a 15 percent reduction in parking fees for cars
less than fourteen feet long. Which reminds me
of how Elaine and I met. It was in a parking lot
where we first scraped up an acquantaince.

Reverend Frederick Gratiot, pastor of Holy
Trinity Episcopal Church, was surprised one
Sunday recently to see that one of his male
parishoners had .returned to the flock. Father
Gratiot greeted the errant one just as though he
had been there every Sunday. How ever the man
felt an explanation was in order. "Father,. I've
been spending Sunday morningsin a saloon. Isn't
it better to sit in a saloon and think of church,
than to sit in church and think of a saloon?"
�OUR SCOUT LEADER S
by FRANK NEWTON
•
Scout Executive
Northwest Suburban Council
Boy Scouts of America
FRANK NEWTON
If you look around any of the 23 Northwest Suburban communtties you
will find a man engaged in one of the most exciting games in the world .
He speal~s a language most of us have forgotten . If he quits , or moves
away or dies , the job he holds is one of the most difficult to fill.
The community pays little attention to him , but if he does his job u:ell
he has the personal satisfaction of knowing that he has contributed as much as or
more than anyone else in developing the type of citizen we consider ideal.
He has rediscovered the language of boys . On his shoulders is the main
responsibility for the success of the Boy Scout movement. He is the Cubmaster ,
Scoutmaster , or Explorer Advisor.
They say of the Scout Leader that the job he holds to earn his bread and
butter is a necessary evil that makes possible his Scouting activity.
In cold fact , he can and often does average 20 hours a week at Scouting.
The excitement comes from leading boys - by all odds the most energetic ,
enthusiastic and imaginative animal ever to grace the earth - in a program remarkably
designed to present the toughest challenge to both man and boy.
Of course by itself the program can be nothing. Few understand its real
possibilities when they join. The first glimpse of the job, like the first uncertain
relationship with the boys themselves , can be monumentally discouraging. Boys do
not suffer adults to become "one of the gang" readily . Some Scout Leaders never
achieve tt ; the very best grumble about opportunities that knocked in vain .
And yet the love of a father for a son is the only real skill needed. The
job would be crushing if it were not a game; it would be impossible if it did not
reward in equal measure as it demands.
Because the job is so big, every Scout leader at times feels discouraged .
His influence is indirect. The failure of the moment often results in triumph later
on , but he never sees it . The lessons learned so casually in camp or meeting place
become part of a boy's character. There is no way of saying of an adult- that trait ,
that decision had its root in Scouting. One can only guess that the out-of,doors
plus the faithful companionship of an understanding adult in a program tested. for
decades in the fires of boys' imaginations has a powerful influence .
The Scout leader who is and must be Scouting personified to the boys
deserves honor and appreciation from the comr>1unity . His contribution is unique .

MON - FRI. , 2:30 TO !I P. M .
Two years ago after having lost my vote,
thanks to a voting machine, I decided I would
not exercise this great privilege again until our
automatic-mad iine-happy nation went back to
the good old-fashioned pencil and paper way to
vote. I have always split my ticket, so you can
imagine how I felt in 1956 - the year my dad was
the Democratic candidate for state treasurer.
My own father lost ~y vote, and I have been
told by countless people that he lost theirs, too,
because of the mechanical monsters.
Last week I forgot my vow because above all
else I realize that the right to vote is something
that few nations enjoy today. So Elaine and I
went to our polling place. Result? Elaine ended
up voting a straight ticket just to make sure her
vote would count, and I jazzed up the automaton
so bad 1y a rush call was sent out to Eddie
Barrett to repair it. I haven't heard if Mr. Barrett
came out personally, because I've been too
chagrined and too angry to face those poor souls
who had been watching over these modern day
vote-gobbling vultures since 4:30 A.M.
A car named Volkswagen is helping to bring
us back to our senses automobile-wis e. All it
takes in the voting booth is a pencil and a hunk
of paper. That's not too much to ask, is it?
Oh, the office peach was well-preserved.
The boys thought she was grand;
But the girls thought it well deserved
When the office peach got canned.
If you're the nosy type that likes to know
women's ages, but you're afraid to come right
out and ask, here's the solution. Say to the
unsuspecting victim: "I'll bet I can guess the
first number in your automobile license." Or, if
she doesn't have a car, make it the first number
of her house address. Then say: "Write the
nurro er down. Don't let me see it. Hide everything you write.'' Let's say the first number of
her auto license is 2. Have her write it down.
Theo say, "Double it." That makes 4. Next have
her add 5. ,That makes 9. You say: "Multiply by
50. That makes 450. You continue: "Add 1708."
Her answer, which you have not seen is now
2158. Next you have her subtract the figures of
the year she was born. Let's say it's 1923. She
subtracts 1923 from 2158. Remember not one
figure has been revealed. You then ask: "What
is your final answer?" She says: "235." You
then tell her that the first number in her car
license is 2. What you don't tell, her is that you
know· her a_ge to be 35.

If the lady pushing the kiddie
cart will call at the of/ice of
the Villager, her frown may
turn into a smile, because she
is in the "secret circle" this
week. This means there is a
125 merchandise certificate
awaiting her at the Villager
office 4846 Main St., Skokie,
if she calls and reveals her
identity by 1 p.m. Monday,
ov. 17. If she does not call,
next week's award goes to 150.
Mrs. 1 oby ll'ilson, of 8926
Lincolnwood, Skokie, smiles
as she graciously accepts S25
merchandise certificate from

director of the Villager. Mrs.
Wilson, who chose to do S25
worth of shopping at Den Mar
Juvenile Shop, was last week's
winner in the "secret circle"
game. Remember - it always

Sharp Corner Vote
On Motel Saturday
A group of civic organizations
in the Sharp Corner school
district will conduct a poll
Saturday ''to determine the
degree of opposition" to a
proposed new motel in the area.
The Skokie Plan Commission
last week recommended that
the Howard Johnson Co. interests be allowed to erect

at 9343 Skokie Blvd. Village
trustees will consider the
matter at their next regular
meeting, Nov. 18.
Representatives of the Sharp
Corner District 68 school
board and its PT A vigorously
opposed the project in a hearing before the Plan Commission.
This week officers of seven
organizations in the are a
announced that polling places
would be set up in the four
schools of the district from
1 to 7 p.m. Saturday.
The organizations .are the
Sharp Corner PT A, the Sharp
Corner District 68 school
board, the Jane Stenson PT A,
the Devonshire PT A, the Highland PTA, the North Central
Home Owners' Assn. and the
Northwest Property Owners'
Assn.
Mrs. Judith Bloch, president
of Sharp Corner PT A, said the
poll is unprecedented in Skokie.
"We felt this was important
enough an issue so that we
wanted to determine the degree
to which we have the support
of all of the people in th e
community," she said.
She said ·the polling places
will be supervised by a "certified impartial observer who
will oversee the counting of
the vote~." The pr~position
as it will appear on the voting
slips is:
"Should the tract of land
lying between Gross Point
Road and Skokie Boulevard,
directly west of the Sharp Corner
school, be re-zoned co permit
erection of a motel?"
Ben Yoshioka, president of
the district school board, said:
"The school board's obj ection is to the location of a
motel directly across the street
from a school, since the increased traffic, serving of
liquor, presence of transients
and other activities associated
with a motel will create a highly
undesirable atmosphere for our
children.''
Justice of the peace Sidpey

Skokie, who were indicted by
the Cook County Grand Jury for

be "quashed" and the whole
thing will blow over, or a date
will be set for their trial, If it
comes to a trial and they are
found guilty, they will appeal

At Hospital Kick off
"Adequate

said Karl S. Schmidt Wednesday morning to a group of
Skokie businessmen.
"Support for the new Skokie

be located at the corner of
Simpson Street and Gross Point
Road is enlightened self interest at its best," the speaker
concluded.

Fisher Orders
Rezoning for
am
1330
Niles Corner
by TOM BRANAGAN
Post election notes: The normally sedate and
proper Republican stronghold of Wilmette apparently got all shook up as election day ap _1Toached.
GOP officials had 'vlrs. Antonia Rago Herbert,
Wilmette, unsuccessful candidate for county
commissioner, haled into court and fined $75
for alleged violation of a zoning ordinance.
The alleged violation, as described by
Wilmette's disdainful newspaper: "Mrs. Hei;bert' s
house has flaunted four donkey signs symbolizing
her political party affiliation."
Mrs. Herbert, an attractive brunette who
probably would have had better luck as a Mrs.
America candidate, previously had been forced
to take down a 25-foot banner. The Wilmette
paper didn't describe this item, but it no doubt
al so "symbolized her political party affiliation,"
whatever that is.
If publisher Bill Carroll of Park Ridge is
fuming, it's small wonder. Carroll was re-elected
Republican state representative, all right, but
not before he got a lesson in what the Marines
call "Semper Fi." (Translated roughly, this
means "Pull up the ladder- I'm aboard.")
Although Carroll and Art Simmons were running
as a GOP team, Niles Township Regular Republicans marked their ballots only for committeeman (and incumbent state representative) Art
Simmons thus giving the Skokie real estate man
three votes (none for Carroll or either of the
two Democratic candidates). Meantime, out in
Carroll's Maine Township bailiwick, the Park
Ridge publisher's Republican organization was
Invite Comments

board that ~1onday, Dec. 1 has

playing it straight, voting for both Carroll and

The approximate totals: Maine Township iles
Simmons 2'5,500; Carroll 26,800.
Township - Simmons 26,700; Carroll 16,700.
Semper Fi, Bill old boy.
Bernard Peskin of Northbrook, the successful
Democratic candidate for state representative,
also had his troubles. He ordered an advertisefor the Northbrook edition of the Wilmette
newspaper. It didn't run in Northbrook, but ran
in Wilmette. However, Peskin wasn't running
there; he was running only in Northbrook and
points west.
We're extremely proud of this week's cover
story on Orchard School. Feature editor Betty
Neff turned in a gentle, perceptive piece of
writing. Norman Knabush' s imaginative photography and Sam Brown's cover art captured
perfectly the mood of her story. The article is,
as it was intended to be, a tribute to Mrs. Molloy
and the many others who day by day give so
unstintingly of themselves that the lives of unfortunate children may have meaning and direction.
Of all the worthwhile tasks they might have set
themselves to, surely this one demands most all of their goodness, their selflessness, their
love. That Mrs. Molloy and her helpers have
these things to give in bounty is proven every
minute, every hour, every day, atOrchardSchool.
Speer says the Dec. I date
was chosen after careful consideration of suggestions by
some to postpone the date and
by others to advance the date.
He urges those who request
changes in the proposed zoning
of specific pieces of property
submit the changes in writing
in advance of the Dec. 1 meeting, which will be in the Morton
Grove Village Hall.

"Wouldn't you know it," the
young fellow said. "The one good
picture I snap of the baby smiling
has a bunch of blurred toys in the
foreground."
I leaned over the counter to get
a closer look at the snapshot, and
I had to admit the baby's smile was
a real 10-cara t sparkler.
"Why not try cropping out the
suggested, "and
I
foreground,"
print up an enlargement of that smile."
"Cropping?", the young fellow
repeated. "What's chat?"
"Cropping is picture editing,"
I explained. "It's a way of taking
out what you don't like in a picture
and saving what you do like. We
can crop out those blurred toys for
you and print up a 5 by 7 enlargement
that would be a knock-out."
"You could? Why that would be
great," the young fellow said.
"Look, better make that an order
for a couple of prints. One won't
be enough to satisfy the grandparents.''
Next time you pick up a batch
of snapshots take a good look at

Mr. and Mrs. Norman H. Ohlson
In the f 1 owe r bedecked
Central Methodist Church, with
Dr. Raymond Bond officiating,
Geraldine Rudolph, daughter
of Jerry Rudolph, Jr., 4501
T(irk St., Skokie, became · the
bride of Norman H. Ohlson,
son of ~lr. and Mrs. Hilding
"if. Ohlson, 7841 Kenneth Ave.,
Skokie.
The young bride wore a full
length gown of white taffeta
and chantilly lace. It had a
princess line with empire waist
and tiny shirred cap sleeves.
Her finger tip illusion veiling was caught by a tiny crown
of pearlized orange blossoms.
She carri$:!d a white orchid with
roses and lilies of the valley.
Miss Beverly Bartrum of
DesPlaines was maid of honor
and bridesmaids were Roberta
Rice and Cynthia Cordes of
Skokie and Juli Tr u b a c of
Lincolnwood.
The attendants wore gowns
of emerald green with the front
hem gathered into a small bow:
They carried tinted carnations.
Misses Kris and Lori Krumholz of Glenview were flower
girls.
They wore white chemise
dresses with pale pink sash,
and carried miniature bouquets
of tinted carnations.
The mother of the bridegroom
wore an ice blue street length
gown of embroidered s i 1 k
organza with matching hat and
shoes.
William
Swanson,
Los
Angeles, Cal., acted as best
man and ushers were Ronald
Rudolph, brother of the bride,
Donald Eaman and Wayne
Ohlson, all of Skokie. Master
Bruce TCrumholz of Glenview
was ring bearer.
Following the wedding ceremony, a reception was held
in Bunker Hill Country Club.
As a going away costume,
the new Mrs. Ohlson wore a
copen blue chemise suit with
matching cloche hat and shoes.
The young couple traveled
around Lake Michigan for their
honeymoon.
The newlyweds are both
graduates of Niles Township
High School. The bride is
employed with the customer
service department of Allstate
Insurance Co., and the bridegroom is with the American
Broadcasting Co. He served
with the U.S. Marine Corps
and attended De Vry Technical

Williams- or vice versa - identical twins.
Unless programs are printed
immediately, there'll be no
telling who's who in the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon Williams,
9400 Lockwood Ave., Skokie.
On Sunday, Nov. 2, in the
Lying-In Hospital. Mrs. Williams
started the con fusion when she
gave birth to identical twins,
Alayne Sue and Andrea Eve.
The young ladies weigh_ about
ed
6 pounds each and both have
red hair. Their brother, Wayne
Ste,;en, 3, has red hair, too.
Maternal
grandmother is
Mrs. Miriam Lome and paternal
grandmother is Mrs. Betty
Williams, both of Chicago.
Williams, co-owner of Willams Apparel Shop, 5041 Oakton
St., Skokie, is having identification bracelets made for
his daughters. It's a good father
who knows his own children.
It seems that from one election to the next,
we have a tendency to forget all we learned about
voting machines and they still continue to awe
us a little.
All kinds of phone calls come· into a newspaper office during an election. About the most
fabulous was the one received from Mrs. Myra
Bartlett, 7951 Lincoln Ave., Skokie, who asked
if there was any ordinance prohibiting dogs from
entering polling places.
Quote Mrs. Bartlett: "After all, the dog can't
read. How should he know that the sign says
'no dogs allowed.' "
Or four year old Cory Neff who insisted on
entering the booth _
with his mother informing her
that "I haven't voted in a long time!"
Wonder how many votes are lost through people
who suffer from claustrophobia?
There w.ere no greater exponents of thP "beatnik" generation than Jean Knapp and Millie Tait,
usually the epitome of femininity, as they barged
in on an ultra swank party given by Mary Gillette
of the Gld Orchard Music Shop.
Resplendent in turtle-necked black sweaters,
wigs, black "jeans" and "beatnik" makeup,
these two refugees from a lost generation soon
were the life of the party.
Next time Mr.;. Gillette will be a bit more
selective about her party invitations.
Well, girls, they've had us spraying our hair,
spraying the flies from the room, spraying the
paint on die wall, and spraying the weeds - but
nothing to compare with spraying the shortening
onto your frying pan.
We just received a container of "Pam" which
is a fat-free cooking aid. It is a "dry fry" and
is used instead of shortening, butter or other
fats for greaseless frying, baking or broiling.
Just hold out the pan- spray on the "Pam"
and you're all set to fry.
No more fat in the can - only a mist!
So many perplexing problems that face us
today. To cite just a few:
Will Art Hellyer's children have lunch at school
or eat at home?
Why a man can "sweet talk" a woman.and be
termed dashing- w~ile if a woman does the same
to a man she's a flirt.
What has happened to all the wives since there
are so few married men?
How much time does Dan Sorkin spend preparing
all those delightfully clever ad libs?
Medical offices today are becoming more like
hotel suites. One of the smartest we have seen
in some time belongs to the wonderful Dr. Arthur
Weiss at 7442 N. Western Ave. And it couldn't
happen to a nicer guy.
A little act of kindness ..... A little word of
praise ..... Can help to chase away the clouds
. .... And brighten someone's days ..... A compliment bestowed ..... With all sincere intent
..... Will give pleasure to the giver...... And
to the one for whom it's meant ..... Honesty is
a virtue ..... When it's tempered with discretion
..... So bring joy instead of pain ..... Make
kind words your daily lesson.

ORCHARD
SCHOOL
'A MONUMENT TO KINDNESS'
by BETTY NEFF
To 49 very special youngsters, the reopening
of school this fall reopens a door to the world.
They are pupils at Orchard School in Skokie
an establishment which has been termed "~
monument to kindness."
For these are severely retarded children, not
acceptable in tax-supported schools. But they
are trainable, even teachable. There is nothing
of the custodial institution about Orchard School.
The staff, all specially trained professionals,
is aided by cheerful volunteers. The atmosphere
is one of gentleness and patience. Here, the
handicapped child learns trust; the selfless
adult, the deep satisfaction of true giving.
Community Effort
Orchard School is the result of a communitywide effort in Niles Township. It began eight
years ago when the parents of four retarded
children banded together to provide a school
opportunity for their youngsters. The Skokie Park
District lent a fieldhouse for the classroom a
woman with a master's degree in special edu~ation became the teacher, and by the end of the
first year enrollment had increased to 12.
In 1952 a one-room school was built on land
loaned by the Skokie Chamber of Commerce, and
the school was incorporated by the Board of
Directors on a non-profit basis. But it wasn't
adequate for long.
As the waiting-list continued to grow, the
Chamber also found that it needed its land and
notified the school it must move. Appeals from
friends of the school and from the late Mayor
George Wilson moved the Chrmber to agree to
an extension of time, but funds were desperately
needed.
Then a prominent home builder p1omised free
labor and material from unions and contractors
to build a seven-room school if township residents
would raise $20,000 toward the building, which
would actually cost $62,000. A gift of an $18,000
lot on which to build the school removed another
obstacle.
Bricklayers, carpenters, electricians, painters
and other construction workers went to work.
All summer long they toiled at their regular jobs,
then turned up for their labor of kindness at
Orchard School.
Bricks $1.00 Apiece
Meanwhile, the necessary cash was being
raised by public-spirited citizens, headed by
Mayor Wilson. Residents of the township brought
"bricks" at $1.00 a brick. Merchants displayed
signs reading, "We bought bricks."
By the time the $20,000 was collected, more
than 40 organizations in the five villages of
Niles Township had pitched in with contributions
and door-to-door canvasses.
In the fall of 19 5 5, 42 children moved into the
Volunteer teacher Mrs. L. Katyll leads Orchard
School class in the pledge of allegiance to the
flag.
spic and span new building. Present enrollment
is 49 pupils ranging in age from 3½ to 21, and
work is under way on a large addition for a more
adequate workshop and special facilities.
''Every cent that has gone into the building
is from donations," Mrs. Frank H. Molloy,
principal, said proudly.
As a Community Chest agency, the school
receives part of its operating expenses from the
Red Feather Fund, with the remainder coming
from tuition fees of $20 a month. Help is available
through special contributions for parents unable
to pay the tuition.
Since Community Chest funds are for operating
expenses only, any money for expansion or
furnishings must come from other sources. In
this case, it is derived solely from memorials
and direct contributions.)
Valiant Volunteers
One of the school's greatest assets 1s its
corps of volunteers.
"A wonderful thing has happened," Mrs.
Malloy said in an interview.
"When we held our Volunteers' Institute before
the opening of school this year, 50 women showed
up. Twenty of them were regulars from previous
years, and the other 30 were completely new.
"At present, we are using most of the volunteers, and we're better staffed than we have
ever been. We have some of the most wonclt>rful
women you ever saw - some with masters degrees
in education or in speech, kindergarten teachers,
nurses, others with special training in arts and
crafts. Some are not specially trained, but have
a special kind of love.
"At our organizational meeting, one of the
volunteers wrote at the bottom of her card, 'Please
take me' because she saw so many people she
was afraid she might be left out!"
Mrs. Milton Ray of Evanston, formerly of Niles,
is president of the volunteers' group. Mrs. Donald
DeCarl of Lincolnwood, a graduate of the Art
Institute, will head a group of six other volunteers
with training in arts and crafts in drawing up
an expanded art program so the pupils can experiment in different media.
The North Shore Weavers Guild has provided
looms and supplies wealfing teachers three days
a week. Mrs. Leonard Fosdick of Wilmette is
in charge of personnel for the Guild and Miss
Frances Koester of Evanston, a Guild member,
plans the work. Miss Koester, says Mrs. Molloy,
''has made the school her second home.''
Few Rules
Rigid regulations take a back seat at Orchard
School, but there are two firm rules: A pupil
must have lived in Niles Township for two years
before applying for admittance, and a volunteer
must come to work on schedule, not "when the

spirit moves her.''
Instructions given each volunteer read in part:
''Upon becoming a member of the Orchard
School Volunteers, you are joining forces with
one of the finest groups of people you ever met.
You are here because you want to be here and
because you want to share your strength and
love with our children.
"You will find your efforts are appreciated
far beyond any work you have ever undertaken
before."
Move At Slow Pace
Then the volunteer is warned not to expect
rapid progress.
"Our pace is slow!" the instructions point
out. "When you drive your car in normal traffic
at 30 miles an hour and slow down to 15, or half
speed, you feel you are scarcely moving. You
become impatient. Our children all move at half
speed OR LESS.
''There will be times when you feel you are
scarcely moving ahead (or even stuck in a real
traffic jam and can't move ahead, with restlessness all about you.) These times occur frequently
and when you become accustomed to our pace
you will take it in stride. You must a 1 ways
remember that the tiniest gain is tremendous
because it is a gain.''

of such arduous hand-finishing as fine old
furniture possesses.
"We can polish and rub," Mrs. Molloy said.
As for the "institutional-type dishwasher,"
she said its purpose would be two-fold: To wash
the dishes and meet health requirements, and
to acquaint the pupils with its operation "so
that if any of the children ever move into an
institution, he will know how to work in that
kind of a kitchen."
The so-called sheltered workshop, Mrs. Molloy
added, permits the hmdicapped to acquire craft
skills in a non-competitive atmosphere where
their work has economic as well as therapuetic
value. Products of the workshop - bathmats, place
mats, beach bags and the like - are on sale at
the school.
Two films, scripted by Mrs. Molloy, have been
shown to service organizations throughout Niles
Town ship and have been displayed throughout
the nation and in Canada to groups interested
in problems of retardation.
"One Small Candle" is the sMry of a retarded
child from the time his parents seek help in a
free clinic. to his placement in Orchard School,
with emphasis on this community's accomplishments in helping these handicapped ones.
"And Crown They Good" is a six-year progress
report, demonstrating training procedures and
teaching techniques. The total program is shown,
starting with nursery child and ending with the
the useful adult in a sheltered workshop. This
film was used in seven colleges and universities
last summer for teacher training.
Someone recently asked 18-year-old Eugene
why he liked to weave. His answer unwittingly
described the advantages of the sheltered workshop, and of the whole of Orchard School as well.
"It occupies your time," Eugene smiled. "You
see what you are making. You are doing it fine .
And if you have trouble, someone is always there
to help you."

Dear Editor:
The Niles Township School
Board has announced plans
to build two high schools in
ant1c1pation of the expected
increase of students of high
school age within the next
five years. The School Board
have stated that one of the
locations for a new school
would be in the vicinity of
Skokie Boulevard and Dempster
St., and mentioned that they
are negotiating for a piece of
land from the Evanston Golf
Club.
I am wondering if a traffic
study has been made of. the
number of automobiles now
using Skokie Boulevard and
Dempster St., plus the normal
increase expected within the
next five years. A high school
with 2,000 students will add
at least between 200 to 500
automobiles to the congestion
on these two streets every
morning and late afternoon and
the resulting increase in auto·
mobile accidents is horrible
to contemplate.
As a resident of Skokie, I
am wondering why another
location in the same general
area, but na adjoining two
heavy traffic streets, would
not be a better choice.

A major development in automobile seating arrangements is the
introduction of swivel front seats in the 1959 Plymouth at Tom
Lyons. Driver and front seat passenger can now pivot the seats
outward when entering or leaving the car. Each seat pivots independently of the other. The seats swivel when a lever is lifted
in the seat s_hield, releasing a spring which swings the seat out·
ward on rollers a full 40 degrees. The seats automatically lock
in place when returned to normal position. An arm rest between
may be folded back when three persons wish to ride in the front
seat.
Very truly yours,
S. L. Cribari
Dear Edi tor:
My sincerest thanks to Miss
Sheryl Leonard for your kind
remarks and very nice comments
about me and my book.
Being a new and unknown
author, I know that the success
of the book is mostly dependent
on adequate publiciry, both
local and natio'nal. Therefore,
your excellent coverage is
very much appreciated, for I
know that it will be a big help.

Reading lines in a script calls

by Pat King
A blood curdling scream
shattered the placid quiet of
the suburban night. A shaking
woman dialed the police with
trembling fingers, "Someone
is being murdered in the basement next door!" she gasped
in horror.
Meanwhile, in the house next
door members of the Morton
Grove Community Theatre innocently continued their rehearsal of the murder mystery
"Ten Little Indians."
To this day the Community
Theatre condiders that woman's
call to the gendarmes one of
its greatest tributes.

selfers and make-up enthusiasts
are welcome to join since their
services are necessary for a
full scale dramatic production.
Norma Richmond, the current
vice-president, echoed this belief when she stated that regardless of talent or lack of
same, no one is ever turned
away since ticket sellers,
electricians and carpenters are
every bit as necessary as
actors in this growing energetic
group.
Any Age Welcome
Age is no barrier. Older
folks are especially welcome
and as for the very young M.G.
Community Theatre sponsors
a summer workshop for children
under the supervision of Phyliss Mandler, formerly of the
Evanston Children's Theatre.
The workshop does not have a
chance to try out for the an-
nual Community Theatre children's play which is cast in the
fall.
During the summer months
the group sponsors a workshop
for adults under the supervision
of dynamic Ted Liss who directed the "Little Foxes" for
the Lincolnwood Little Theatre
this spring.

When
presented "Hansel and Gretel"
before enthusiastic audiences
of Youngsters along the North
Shore if found that "going on
the road" presented numerous
problems, some of which proved
to be highly amusing. One such
occured in nearby Northbrook
where the troup of touring
thespians found on performance
day that there was no stage, no
theatrical lighting.
~!rs. Sluizer introduced the
play and told the children that

would be just like curta~ns
closing on a stage. The play
began and, to the horror of the
actors, it was discovered in
the middle of the first act that
most of the small folk in the
audience still had their eyes
tightly closed! ~Jembers of the
stage crew had to slip into the
audience and tell small charme~s
here and there that it was time
to open up!
to the trembling group behind
the scenes and in a loud ~ich

Theatre Changes Living
Thing~ really happen to
suburbanites when they become
wrapped up in little theatre
work. One man who found his
wife's enthusiasm for "trodding
the boards" a highly amusing
thing became so enraptured
himself after watching a dozen
or so rehearsals that the group
may have to send this ham to
Virginia for curing.
Ruby Winckler, who is treasurer of the theatre this year,
says he bought a house with a
basement because the group
needed a place to rehearse.
Emelie Verden who designed
and decorated the scenery for
"Hansel and Gretel" last year
had to paint the scenery in her
living room. Greater love hath
no man!
Once when the theatre was
doing "Giaconda Smile" Merle
Kingman who played the lead
developed laryngitis a week or
two before the performance and
was given orders by his physician that under ·no circumstances was he to use his
voice. During rehearsals he
mouthed the lines and went

another actor read from a book.
The dress rehearsal came and
went still no sound from Kingman.
Opening night was upon the

Dons End Season By
Tying Spalding 6-6
SPECIAL VACATION ~ERVICE
Five Years
by Jim McCabe
Hey you Guys ...
The Dons of Notre Dame
finished a fine football season
Friday night, battling Spalding
of Peoria to a 6-6 tie. Both
teams scored their touchdowns
in the last five minutes of the
game.
Fullback
Harry
Carlson,
playing his last game for the
Dons, along with being the
workhorse of the squad, . accounted for the Don's only
score of the game. With less
than five minutes in the last
period, Spalding was forced to
punt. Carlson and halfback
Creden were in double safety.
The kick went to Carlson on
the Spalding 35• and Carlson
went to the goal. The extra
point was blocked.
On the extra point attempt,
Notre Dame was penalized and
Jim ,Dippman was forced to
kick off from his own 25. The

ball was returned to the 37.
Half-back Horan moved the ball
down within the five for Spalding, where fullback O'Neill
plunged for the touchdown. The
Irish elected to run the extra
point but Horan was stopped
short of the vital point. The
game ended with the Dons on
the Spalding 34.
Notre Dame had the fans on
their feet at the close of the
second period when they moved
to Spalding's two yard line
only to be denied a ea•tc by
the clock .
And so in their second season of varsity competition, the
Dons compiled six wins, two ·
losses and a tie. Notre Dame
wiLl swing into its basketball
season Friday, Nov. 21, when
the Dons will go against Mary•

Bus Fare Hike
H
A
American Coach passengers
won't have to worry anymore
this year about that five cent
fare hike proposed by the bus
line.
The Illinois Commerce Comm1ss1on in Springfield suspendecJ the proposed rate until
~larch 16, 1959- This action
will keep the fare increase
from becoming effective until
hearings can be held before
the ICC in Chicago. No hearing
date has been set.
The hike would increase
fares within six communities
from 15 to 20 cents. The six
are Evanston, Skokie, Lincolnwood, Glenview, ~lorton Grove,
and iles.

and that professional directors
are hired by the group for each
production.
Johnson, who is an advertising man whe.n he isn't acting,
(he's with Johnson and Johnson
advertising and doesn't appreciate jokes about bandaids)
finds that the little theatre is
a convenient outlet for pent-up
nerves and states that more
than one shy introverted new
member has emerged from his
cocoon after a few years with
the group with more than enough
zest for life and confidence
to face even the toughest
audiences.
Morton Grove's community
theatre will begin the 1958-59
season with one of Tennessee
Williams finest plays, " A
Streetcar Named Desire.''
All set to apply his knowledge
is Richard· Swift as he makes
up Shirley Sluizer as a witch
under the watchful eye of George
Ann Bohling.
Norma Richmond's anger is
only acting pretense as she
watches Jerry Bernstein and
Julie Willner rehearse a scene.
Stage manager Naomi Segal is
deep in concentration as she
"holds book" for "Streetcar
Named Desire."
Male and female leads in the
play will be a husband and
wife team, Mauty and Sandy
E'alson, who take the parts of
Stanley and Stella Kowalski.
Others in the cast are Julie
Gray Willner, Larry Goulet,
Robin Padorr, Shirley Sluizer,
Susan Small, Norma Richmond,
Richard Wirick, Curt Vogtritter
and Ed Davis.
Be!1in<l the scenes production

Editor's note: The following is the sixth in a
series of lessons on baton twirling by Ann Lenox,
counselor for the "Cougarettes" Sons of the
American Legion Drum and Bugle Corps.
The baton is held in the right hand between
the thumb and the forefinger, the other fingers
again taking on the job of pushers. With the ball
end upward, make a sweeping motion in front of
the body ovec to the left side;
Let the baton start turning over the thumb,
from a palm down position; now place the left
hand above the right, catching the baton as it
rolls over the thumb.
When the baton is caught in the left hand, the
ball end should be turned towards the back.
After taking the baton in the left hand, turn it
forward so the ball end will again take the lead.
The baton now is swung across the body to
the right side, allowed to start the roll over the
left thumb and taken, palm up, by the right hand.
Remember this, the right hand will be above
the left this time. This action from one side to
the other is kept up as long as the twirler desires.
For variery, you can insert a figure eight in
each cartwheel.

�In the U.S.A. we celebrate everything from National Long Underwear Week
to International Cat Week.
Each week brings a collective "doff of the cap" to someone or something.
Last week it was American Education Week.
It focused on overcrowded school systems, undernourished education funds,
why it is that Johnny can't read, etc.
This is important, to be sure ... But so it a little teacher recognition.
How about this week . .. next week ... or any week being called . ..
TEACHERS' APPRECIATION WEEK
What distinguishes Niles Township teachers from their counterparts else-where? Simple. It's our children they're teaching. That, plus the firm conviction
that in Niles Township the teachers are the professional equals of any . . .anywhere.
So we propose this little resolution:
•
WHEREAS WE FEEL THE NILES TOWNSHIP TEACHERS ARE DEDI-CATED AND POSSESSED OF GREAT PROFESSIONAL SKILL, AND
BE Irr RESOLVED THJ-\T WE RECOMMEND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
NATIONAL tEACHERS' APPRECIATION WEEK IN NILES TOWNSHIP.
We intend to observe it 52 weeks a year. We hope you'll join us.

Morton Grove
Survey
The Villager extends congratulations to the Morton Grove Days
Committee - - not only for the exellence of its preparations for
this year's four-day festival but for the foresight evidenced
by its current project.
That project is the recently completed survey to determine
which single civic project would be preferred by most of the
village's residents.
Results of the canvass - - which covered one of every eight
homes in the village - - have not been announced, but from this
sampling of opinion the committee will be much better prepared
to sponsor specific civic improvements.
The whole purpose of this annual celebration is to raise
funds for worthy projects. In the past, moneys have been allotted
to such things as park improvements (including the acquisition
of Harrer Park), boys baseball, Teen-Town support, welfare
activities, etc.
These, of course, a.re all extremely worthwhile projects. Nonetheless, handing out moneys in this manner has been, admittedly
a "scattershot" operation.
The committee in charge of Morton Grove Days, which is
sponsored jointly by virtually all civic and fraternal organizations
within the village, feels that perhaps more direction should be
given to its spending.
The survey taken in recent days included, as possible preferences, such things as a swimming pool (there is no public pool
in Morton Grove now); park rest rooms and a community center.
Going into this year's festival, the committee had approximately $39.000 available to spend. It should realize additional
thousands during the week end's activities.
However, it is doubtful that the committee itself will wind up
with enough money to finance any comprehensive program. To
gain additional funds, it appears that a bond issue or a sljght
tax increase would be necessary.
The village is growing steadily and the need for recreational
activities - - especially for youngsters - grows at a corresponding rate.
With funds available from Morton Grove days, the village would
have an excellent start toward financing any large project which
the current survey discloses to be in demand.
We hope that the citizens of Morton Grove will advantage themselves of this big "down payment" reservoir - even if it is found
that additional money is needed through a bond issue or small
tax hike.
'Steak City' Opening Wednesday
Niles Township's newest
restaurant, "Steak City," under
the same management as the
popular rFlame Restaurant in
downtown Chicago, will hold
its Hollywood-sty le
grand
opening next Wednesday at 11
a.m.
More than $300,000 has been
spent toremodel and refurbish
Steak City, situated at one of
the most heavily traffic e d
intersections in the area Lincoln and Touhy. This is
the former site of the Hucksters
Country Club.
The unique feature of the
new Lincolnwood restaurant is
that itwillhave only one entree
- and one price - $1.09. The
entree will consist solely of
a sirloin steak, served with a
baked potato, salad and toasted
French roll.
The policy, tested out at
160 N. State St. site, has been
a phenomenal success. More
than a million steaks have been
sold in the Chicago restaurant.
The enterpreuners say they
3
THE VILLAGER
plan to set up a national chain
of these restaurants, a la the
Howard Johnson operation.
Wednesday's grand opening
will be supported by lights,
music, favors for the children
and a galaxy of door prizes.
Prizes will be awarded at a
drawing Sept. 10. Gifts will
include two mink stoles, and
six fur-trimmed ca sh mere
sweaters.
Gifts for the younger set will
include a boy's and a girl's
bicycle, 50 baseball gloves
and 50 dolls.
The new Steak City Restaurant claims that with six giant
coolers on the presmies it
will have more steaks available
than a ny other restaurant in the
country.
The Flame's "Steak City"
will be open seven days a week.
the restaurant will open daily
at 11 a.m. and will remain
open until 1 a.m. week-nights
and on Fridays and Saturdays
until 2 a .m.

CONSCIOUS CORA
Cora's been coming into my shop
for years. She's a real photography
fan, a good customer. Makes home
movies, develops her own snapshots all that sort of thing .
She brought up a very interesting
point several months ago - one I'd
never even thought about. She told
me, .. Camera companies have completely overlooked a strong selling
point for giving cameras as gifts."
"What's that?" I asked in surprise .
"Color!" she answered. "Cameras
ml\ke
wonderful
gifts . They're
practical, fun to own, styled beauti•
fully but they lack the personal
touch of a distinctive color. You
know, like white for a wedding,
blue for a new baby in the family,
red for a teen-ager~"
I had to admit she had something
theie. But I couldn't do anything
about it . Now it's different. When
Cora came in recently I showed her
the new Brownie Starflash Outfits
that come with the camera in your
choice of four attractive colors:
Coral Red, Stard.u st White, Sky line

"Why, aren't they wonderful,"
she said. "My neice has a birthday

She walked out, contented as a

THE VILLAGER
by TOM BRANAGAN
In a recent "Letter to the Editor", Harold Benowitz lays
claim - and rightly so - to the distinction of being our only Texas
subscriber. Texas is vast and far away, but Benowitz and the
Lone Star state have to take a back seat on both counts to our
newest regular reader.
She is Miss Leona Young, age 13, of Pitcairn Island m • 1 e
vast and distant reaches of the Pacific. Miss Young gets the
Villager every week-or to be precise, three copies every three
weeks(which is how often a ship visits the island)- compliments
of Bernard Curtis' son, Allen, also 13.
The Skokie youngster and Miss Young are pen pals. She is
a descendant of Ned Young, second in command to the famed
desperado of the Pacific, Fletcher Christian.
Christian and Young led the mutiny aboard the H.M.S. Bounty
and later established a colony on Pitcairn.
Miss Young informs young Curtis that there are 150 persons
on the island and that she is the only girl of high school age in
Pitcairn's one-room schoolhouse.
*
Mrs. F. E. Shor, one * our readers in*
of
the more immediate area,
noted our recent paragraphs on the advantages of a nearby naval
air station and sent in the following clipping, taken originally
from the bulletin of Holy Cross Episcopal Church at Sanford,
Fla.:
"Those Planes: Now that all groups at the(Pensacola)Naval
Air Station have jets, the noise of planes overhead probably will
get louder. If we are throughtless, small of nature and selfish
of purpose, we will complain. Here at Holy Cross we understand
that these men are protecting our country, and are not flying for
fun. ft is the policy of this parish that any time a plane flies
over the church during service, so that the noise drowns out
everything, we will stop (unless in a group action such as a
hymn or the Creecl) and everyone in the church will say a silent
prayer for the pilot and the crer,v. It is recommended that you do
the same thing at home.
''Note to pilots: As you circle over Sanford, we invite you to
fly over the Episcopal Church - and we'll pray for your safety."
To which Mrs. Shor adds: 'Why didn't someone think of this
here?"

Don't believe any rumor you might hear about the Niles Township board buying the site of Gus Allgauer's ·burned-out restaurant
on Lincoln Ave. for its new community hall. For one thing, the
property must be worth at least several hundred thousand doHars.
The township fathers have only $385,000 to spend, for both land
and building.

Sidney DeLove of Skokie who spends lavish sums every year
to promote patriotism, is outdoing himslef with his current project.
The last two years he has sponsored an Independence Hall
essay contest, with scores of grade school winners from Chica-go's
North Side and Niles Township being given trips to Washington,
D.C., and Philadelphia.
This year's winners-more than 40-will be given a trip to
Alaska by chartered commercial airliner. The idea is that the
children will be seeing "history in the making": Alaska in the
process of becoming the nation's 49th state.
Subject of the essay contest: "What the Flag Means to Me."

MG Trustees Purchase Morton Grove Western Fete
Bank Building: $60,000 Beginning Four-Day Stand
Morton Grove will have a new
city hall!
At Tuesday night's Board
mee;ing, trustees voted to pay
$6orooo to the owners of the
First National Bank of Morton
Grove for the bank building at
the Lincoln-Callie corner and
will take over the site when the
bank moves to its new Dempster
St. building next month.
Chief Mickey Scanlon's
cramped police department will
take over a goodly share of
the present village hall. Morton
Grove thus will have two buildings for civic business.
The board acted after the
Chicago Real Estate Board
evaluated the bank building at
$61,000. The bank will not
charge the village any interest
on the purchase price, which
will be paid in four annual
installments of $15,000 each.
In other actions at the
meeting:
Police Chief Scanlon reported
that he had written state
officials protesting the change
of the speed limit on Waukegan
Road to 45 miles an hour instead of the present 35, but
has not yet received a reply.
The board rejected a request
from Alvin Bley, president of
Triangle Outdoor Advertising
Company, Chicago, for a
40 x 10 feet "electrical spectacular'' sign at the GolfWaukegan intersection in front
of the Avon cosmetics building.
TV SET FIRES
According to Fire Chief
Edward F. Steek, the Skokie
Fire Department has been
responding to many television
fires. These fires usually are
the result of burned out condensers, coils and transformers.
Although little flame may result,
it causes conside..:able smoke.
A fire in a television set
is considered to be a Class C
fire because of the presence
of electricity while a set is
in operation. The high voltage
currents which may be present
in the video section of the set
introduces a severe life hazard
which must be taken into
account whenever a · set is
damaged by fire.
It is important to phone your
department at once.
"Don't gamble with fire,"
warns Chief Steek," the odds
are against you."

PORTABLE STOP SIGNS
William C. Griffin, Skokie
police chief, received delivery
Tuesday of three new portable
traffic signals from Safety Sales
Inc., Hannibal, Mo. The village
will nQW have four such signals.
One has been in operation at
Dempster and Keeler for the
past year.
Tentative plan~ call for the
new signals to be used atNiles

In addition they can be used
for any traffic emergencies.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack J. Hall,
4646 Davis St. are new Skokie
arrivals. Mr. Hall is president
of the General Freight Transport Company.
A. B. Dick Co., the mimeograph manufacturers at 5700
Touhy Ave. in Niles, probably
will be the biggest single tax
contributor in Niles Township
this year.
An official source told the
Villager that the firm's 1957
tax bill was about '620,000.
Second biggest tax contributor in the township reportedly
will prove to be the Old Orchard
shopping center which may enrich the township tax coffets by
more than a quarter million
dollars. Greatest benefactor of
the Old Orchard tax assessment would be Sharp Comers
school. While specific figures
are not available it is possible
the school may receive as high
as 4180,000 as. its share of the
Old Orchard assessment.

THE VILLAGER
Lawrence Salerno Sells Seek Relief
For Niles'
El Gaucho Restaurant
Yard Floods
Lawrence Salemo, the radio
singing idol who 19 years ago
established the El Gaucho
restaurant in Skokie, has sold
the establishment to the John
R. Thompson company.
The deal, details of which
were not disclosed, was com·
pleted Friday and the popular
dining spot was closed immediately.
The new owners operate the
Thompson
restaurant chain
and also own Holloway House,
situated just north of the
Salerno spot, 10027 Skokie
Blvd.
The Thompson firm made
no immediate announcement
of its plans for the property.
However, the land is zoned
for motel use and there has
some speculation that such
an establishment might be
situated
th ere eventually.
Salemo, 58, opened the
restaurant in 1939 after a long
career as radio's romantic
"Neopolitan Baritone."
El Gaucho caught on immediately and Salerno, virtually
from the start, enjoyed a large
patronage.
Salemo said he has no immediate
bus i n es s
plans.
However, it was understood
there was a possibility he
mi g h t
re-enter the Skokie
restaurant field, at a different
site, sometime in the future.
First, however, he and Mrs.
Salerno plan a long vacation
with their two youngsters.
Newcomers to Skokie are Dr.
and Mrs. Albert Coyne, 4646
Davis St., and daughters, Geri,
16½, and Caryl, 20.
The matter of backyard flooding in the Fideliry subdivision
of Niles Terrace will come up
for discussion at a meeting of
homeowners and the Niles
Village Board on Friday, Aug.
22. Fidelity Builders will also
take part.
It is expected that trustees
will decide soon on one of
two alternative routes for a
Monroe district relief sewer,
according to Mayor Frank
Stankowicz. This will probably
be a special assessment pro·
posal.
Preliminary
estimates by
engineers indicate the project
will involve about $340,000.

CONTINUANCE
Shortly after her parents
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Leifer,
moved into their new home at

Running down the street, she

that there is much concern in
Britain for Disarmament inas much as an y 7 H bombs will

evident that the main task isfor
in developing a desire
Disarmament on the part of

can and will have to work o ut
the series of steps it may

The Labor and Liberal

What's a few torn ligaments or sprained ankle when it comes to a
B&PW affair. It certainly wouldn't keep Margaret Busscher,
center of Ace Hardware away. However, she got plenty of assistance from Pat Longtin, left, of Longtin's Sports Huddle, and
Opal Cook, right, of William W. Meyer and Sons .
Elizabeth Shea, secretary
to Skokie's Mayor Ambrose
Reiter, and Thomas C. Moore
we re wed in a quiet and simple
ceremony on July 18 in St.
Lohn' s Lutheran Church. The
Rev . Earl Lusk officiated.
Only members of the immediate family were present.
Following the wedding service , Mr. and Mrs. Moore left
on a honeymoon trip to the
East,
touring many New
England States.
The newlyweds are now at
home at 7523 Karlov Ave . ,
Skokie.
So we decided to "get away from it all." On
the advice of one ot our men in blue, we headed
for a hotel in Elkhorn, Wis., far off the beaten
path .
We no sooner had entered the lobby of this
remote hotel, which, incidentally, had to be
approached through devious roads, than we ran
into Skokie's own Mrs. George Joslyn and her
family.
Don't ever be fooled by the term "adjoining
bath . " It adjoins your room, all right, but it also
adjoins the room on the other side.
We didn't mind sharing , but when we found the
venetian blind~ didn't quite make it to the bottom
of the window, we were in trouble.
It's not easy trying to wash in the dark. It was
that, or share ourselves with the outside world.
The next night, at the Arrowhea·d Motel near
Geneva, we really lived it up. The place was
beautifully immaculate . We were able to turn on
the lights in the bathroom .
Our faith in human nature was restored when
Ma rtha Bjornestad, one of the freshest looking
and loveliest young ladies we've seen in a long
time, refused a tip for her assistance .
At one of the "entertainment" spots, a "gentleman,'' staring directly at us, raised an eyebrow
in a questioning manner.
This is one trick we have never quite perfected,
and since we didn't know just what to do
in return, we merely stared back, and laughed.
The "gentleman" didn't seem to appreciate
our sense of humor. He got up and walked away.
We know now that we'll never win friends
unless we practice the art of eyebrow lifting.
Some hot weather gripes: people who invite
you to their home and then leave the sprinkler
on full strength over the front walk-restaurants
with air conditioning units that blow directly at
you- mothers who scream at their children in
public - children who scream at their mothers,
anywhere - men in Bermudas . . .
Walk on, friends say, go far today . . See how
green is the grass across the way . . . .. And the
end of the rainbow, so you've been told . .... Can
be found there at the bend in the road . .... To
tomorrow's beckoning hand give heed .... . For
the warmth that you seek and the love you need
.... . They say new joys are for you to know .... .
That sun and moon for you still glow ..... So
you listen and try to follow through . .... Perhaps,
perhaps, these things are true . . ... Yet you find
the grass in distance seen . .... Like that at your
feet is the same shade of green ..... That no
rainbow is there at roadway's end . . ... And the
he art much too weary new paths to wend ..... That
sun and moon can't glow much more ..... Than
they did last night and the day before .... . And
since tomorrow never does arrive ..... Only
dreams of the past can keep love alive.

'MR . MORTON GROVE'
�14
Morton Grove Has Colorful Past
(The Villager is indebted to Art I.outsch, township collector and Morton Grove real estate man,
for most of the information contained in the
following account . )
granted and Asa F. Bradley was entrusted with
the surveying of the road. The starting point
was at Kinzie street.
One For Th e Road
Who was vice president of the United States
from 1889 to 1893 under President Benjamin
Harrison?
If you live in Morton Grove, you should have
responded promptly and proudly: "Levi Parsons
Morton." Because Mr. Morton is the fellow who
gave the town its name.
As the village prepares to celebrate the 31st
annual Morton Grove Days, a look at its beginnings may not be inappropriate.
The first pioneer, John Curtis, built a home
on what is now Church street in 1831 . The little
settlement that grew up in that area received
quite a boost when John Miller built a crude
sawmill on the banks of the river just south of
Dempster street and west of the present Studio
Inn .
There was a thriving community of 100 or so
persons when the railway connecting Chicago
and Milwaukee came through in 1872 . Mr. Morton
was an official of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul railway at that time , and when the flag
stop designating the little settlement required
a name, the railway honored him and the trees
which graced the locale by selecting "Morton
Grove."
The early settlers - •ancestors of many of the
village's present:day residents - had a rough
life . They eked an existence out of the wilder·
ness with their hands, clearing the wooded land
with axes and using oxen to haul the logs which
served both as fuel and as building material.
There were no roads , no machines.
When Miller's Mill was erected, it eliminated
the tedious labor of hewing logs and marked the
shift from log cabin to sawed board house.
The F ir st Road
The first thoroughfare in Morton Grove was a
logging road, running from the site of the mill
through the wooded region to the east and final•
ly to what is now Skokie. For miles arotmd, this
lone trail became known as "Miller's Mill
road" and later, u:hen the pioneers found a
market for their cordwood in Chicagou (early
spelling), it became one of the feu• roads leading
to "that growing little city on the lake."
In 185R, Henry Harms built a toll road from
Ashland and Lincoln avenues in Chicago to
Niles Center (Skokie), and connected it with
Miller's Mill road. Three gates on the road col•
I e ct e d toll and for 15 cents a wagon could
traverse this ','fine one-lane gravel road."
It wasn't until 1915 that the road's name was
changed, by village ordinance, to its present
designation - Lincoln avenue.
Another thoroughfare leading northwestward
out of Chicago was the old Northwestern Plank
road , now Milwaukee avenue. Because much of
the route was over low, swampy land and be•
cause plank boards were the best all-weather
surface, this route to the city - built in 1849-50
- became known as "the plank road."
Files of the Chicago Historical Society read
in part:
"There was a crooked wagon crack leading
from Kinzie street through Jefferson township,
and through orthfield toward Deerfie Id. Every
settler, in making his way across the prairie,
was accustomed to cake a course to suit himself
in order to avoid sloughs, holes and wagon ruts.
"As a consequence, it sometimes happened
chat half a dozen or more tracks ran para-He! to
each ocher. When roads were good, the time re·
quired to ger to Chicago and back from North•
field was four days. When the roads were muddy,
nearly double that time was required. In the
spring of the year there were several months
when they were for the most part impassable.
"Silas herman, a prominent settler of North•
field, made a petition to the State to have chat
road established and surveyed. The petition was
"George Powell, who had then already a
hotel, fearing that the road might not be located
past his place of business, raised a flag and
informed the surveying party that, if they could
strike that flag with the line of their road, a
good dinner with the best wine and whisky
would be ready for them as soon as they arrived.
"There was never quicker or better work done
in the history of engineering than that between
Kinzie street and that flag. Mr. Powell, the
hotel-keeper, made good his yromise and the
boys had a splendid repast . His whisky was
straight and a supply sufficient to last to Chester
Dickinson's house was taken in and, we pre•
sume, accounts for the straight line of Milwaukee
avenue to that point. But here some scoundrel
must have got some crooked whisky into the
surveying party, for the road runs zig -zag from
there to the northern line ,of Northfield and into
Lake county."
The earliest settlers arrived from England in
the 1830's-men with the names of Curtis,
Jefferson, Wheldon, White, Beckwith and Dew es.
They were followed in the 1840' s by the German
settlers - the Huscher, Haupt, Lochner and
Gabel families.
The central part of today's Mo.ton Grove the area bounded by Lincoln, Georgiana, Capu•
lina and Ferris avenues - was granted by the
government to one Amos Snell, who cut the
timber from the trace and sold it as fuel for the
wood-burning locomotives of the late 1840's.
In 1864 , Snell sold the tract to Fred Keller
for $25 an acre . Keller stumped. the cutover
land and burned charcoal, which he hauled to
Chicago and sold.
After the railway arrived and the community
officially became M~rton Grove, a center of
business activity sprang up. In the 1880's the
Globe Pickle company built a plane south of
Miller's Mill road (Lincoln avenue) and ease of
the railway.
Two competitors soon located plants in the
town -the Squire Dingee and the Henning Pickle
companies. In 1889, Poehlmann Brothers com·
pany made its headquarters in Morton Grove and
grew to be the largest floral establishment in
the nation. At the World's Fair in St. Louis in
1904, first prize for roses was won by Poehlmann
and Morton Grove's name and fame became
known throughout the land.
Mail Must Go T hro ugh
When the railroad came through, the first post
office was established, in a general store and
tavern at Dempster and Railroad avenues.
Medard Lochner, a Civil War veteran, was ap•
pointed the first postmaster. The original
building was destroyed by fire in 1891, and the
post office was moved to the general store of
John Koller on Lincoln avenue, on which street
it has remained.
By 1891, Fred Keller, who had bought the
land at the heart of town for $25 an ac re, sold
his 20-acre tract to George E. Fernald and F .A.
Bingham for $525 an acre. The land was subdivided and on April 3, 1891, Bingham and
Fernald's subdivision of 177 lots was placed on
the county records .
Streets roughly graded through the former farm
land were named Ferris, Callie and Fernald and
30-inch wooden board sidewalks were laid over
the soft soil. Rows of maple trees were planted:
saplings then, leafy giants now.
Fernald avenue, of course, was named for
Developer Fernald. Callie avenue took its name
from Miss Callie fl acker, stenographer for Bing·
ham and Fernald, and· Georgiana avenue from
Georgiana Bingham, P.A. Bingham's wife.
Ferris avenue probably was named for Samuel
Ferris, a pioneer uho uas active in organizing
the township of Niles, although records don't
authenticate this supposition.
Gradually the area changed in complexion
from farm land to residential development. The
village was incorporated on October 24, 1895,
at a meeting in a small home printing shop
operated by John Gruber, directly in the rear of
the present Deckert's hall at 6207 Lincoln
avenue. There weren't enough chairs to go
around.
George Harrer was chosen president of the
village, with its population of 250, and served
in chat post for 14 years. In May, 1896, village
board meetings moved from the print shop to
Bingham and Fernald's subdivision office at
what is now 8525 Fernald avenue. There still
weren't enough chairs.
Bue by fall of that year, the board moved into
its new $1,200 quarters at 8527 Callie avenue.
The one-story brick structure included three
concrete jail cells and was the pride of the
community. And there were enough chairs.
Around 1904 another story was added and
board meetings were held upstairs, while the
lower floor became the home of the newly
organized volunteer fire department. In January,
1939, the board moved again - this time to the
present village hall.
First Schoo I Orga ni zed
Shortly after the village incorporated, it
organized its first public school. Before the two•
room structure was erected in 1897, Morton Grove
children had attended the public school on
Waukegan road in Golf, or the parochial schools
in Niles Center (Skokie). Enrollment for all
eight grades for the first year was about 30, and
the first graduating class in 1901 numbered three
pupils.
In 1923, two rooms were added to the tiny
brick structure and in 1928 the entire building
was remodeled and a combination gymnasium
and auditorium was added.
The volunteer fire department was organized
in 1904, with George Harr;r as president; Fred
Dilg, vice president; Henry Theobald, secretary,
and August Poehlmann, treasurer. Its first piece
of apparatus was a horsedrawn hand pumper.
The first fire truck, a Studebaker, was acquired
in 1915. For almost 25 years, the fire call was
short blasts of the Poehlmann Brothers plant
whistle, until the present siren was installed
in 1927.
Cows, Sling shots , K ite s
The problems of the pioneers are reflected in
the old statute books.
The first act of the newly organized village in
1896 was to replace the 30-inch wooden board
sidewalks in town by a cinder walk. (In 1909-11,
the present concrete walks u:ere laid.)
Ordinances provided Sl fine for a person
guilty of permitting his cow to graze on the
public streets . Howling dogs and slingshots
were legislated against. Vagabonds were to be
lodged in the "calaboose" and were to pay
their fines by "hard labor" at the rate of Sl .50
per day .
Other laws provided that "no person shall
fly kites in such manner as to frighten horses,"
and a strict speed law of eight miles per hour
was established in 19i0 with the advent of the
automobile.
Ordinance
o. 108 ruled that ''no person
licensed to keep a dramshop tavern shall permit
any person to sing or to play any musical instru•
ment after the hour of nine p. m:"
And althotlgh Morton Grove's water and sewer
system was installed in 1912, the old-fashioned
outhouse wasn't outlawed until 1920.
The story of Morton Grove is typical of that
of almost every American community. The hardships of its pioneer period, the struggles of i t s
organization years, the problems of its development era - all were met and overcome by a
progressive people.
Today, the village's future is bright.

A little man who has been dubbed "Mr . Morton
Grove'' represents the selflessness and civic
service which any community is fortunate to find
in its citizens.
Max Finke, who left Germany in 1904 and
settled in Morton Grove in 1912, can look back
on an adult lifetime studded with honors. He
was mayor of the town for 12 years, retiring in
1957. He was honored at a 1956 civic celebration naming him Morton Grove's man of the year .
He was first chairman of the Morton Grove
Days committee, a· post he held for five successive years, and in 1936 he was selected again
to head the committee for the festival's 10th
anniversa·ry.
During the depression, Finke was a member
of the Morton Grove Board of Relief, and after
the Johnstown flood in the 20' s he joined the
Red Cross as a volunteer worker, a role in which
he continued until a year or so ago. He has put
in more than 40 years of service as a volunteer
fireman, from 1912-1956, and is a former president of the Suburban Cook County Firemen's
association.
Think that's all? Not yet.
Finke is a pa s t president of the Northern
Cook County Plumbing and Heating Contractors'
association, a former Master of the Morton Grove
Masonic Lodge No. 1146, chairman of the Morton
Grove division of the Lutheran General Hospital
now under construction at Dempster and Western,
a director of the Skokie Valley YMCA, and a
member of the Chamber of Commerce and the
Lions club.
In addition to his civic activities, he still
is on the job full time as a plumbing contractor.
Besides having been blessed with a sturdy
mind and body, Finke has another great asset
in his devoted wife, Mathilde. The two have
lived in the same house at 8420 Lehigh for 47
years, and will celebrate their golden wedding
anniversary this October 21.
Finke and his wife met in Chicago shortly
after he had arrived in this country from Dresden
and she from the Rhine.
"He was always going to the German theater
in Chicago," Mrs. Finke recalls, "and I went
there and some friends introduced us.''
Following their marriage in 1908, they returned
to Germany on a wedding trip and persuaded
Finke's parents and his sister and brother-in-law
to come to America too .
"My brother-in-law, Adolph Poehner, had the
idea to go out in the country to buy a piece of
land to raise chickens," Finke reminisced. "So
on a bitter January day in 1912, we walked from
Chicago to Niles Center (now Skokie). Cicero
avenue was just a path. We wound up on Lincoln
avenue and stopped in a tavern operated by
Samuel Meyer.
"It was about 11 a. m. and we asked if there
would be a chance of buying some property in
Niles Center. We were told there was hardly
anything left and Meyer asked 'Why don't you
continue on to Morton Grove?'
"We walked on and landed here about 12:30.
We felt hunger coming on and to gi::t a little warm
soup we stopped at Joseph Hoss' tavern at
Fernald and Lincoln. There's a butcher shop
and grocery there now. 1/oss tried to locate a
piece of land for us and finally submitted this
piece of land where we are now ."

Finke and Poehner bought the land for $600
in April, 1912, and started to build a house. The
frame structure was erected by the brothers-inlaw, Finke's father, and a hired carpenter, and
the Finke and Poehner families moved in together.
They did get around to buying some chickens,
ducks and rabbits, but more as pets than as a
business venture. Finke went into business on
his own as a plumber, the only one in a town
which then numbered only a few hundred residents.
Mrs. Finke chimed in:
"This section of the town was called Ducktown,'' she said. ''There was hardly one family
which didn't have ducks and chickens. But there
were no sewers and one night we came home
after it had rained like the dickens. The area
around the house was like a lake, and the animals -yes, the ducks, too -had all drowned."
The demise of the animals was a freakish mishap, but not a financial disaster. Poehner was
employed by Poehlmann Brothers florists as
an engineer, and the two families prospered.
"Having community spirit and community
pride, I always took an interest in community
affairs," Finke said. As a volunteer fireman,
he became known in the village and in 1933 he
was elected a village trustee for a two-year term
in 1937, and in 1945 was elected mayor.
During his regime, the town grew from 3,000
to 15,500 in population.
"We got some industry to locate here, and
we got wide streets," Finke said. "I had the
wholehearted cooperation of all the contractors
as well as the subdividers and real estate fellows.
My main idea when I took office as mayor was
to run the town in a businessman's way, and I
know I succeeded in that.
"I took over when the village was in the hole,
and when I left there was money left over.''
Finke considers widening, paving and lighting of Dempster street one of the highlights of
his accomplishments as mayor. Another was
improvement of water facilities, including construction of a new 300,000 gallon elevated tank
and a 2,000,000-gallon reservoir.
ew water
mains were installed, facilities in the pumping
station were expanded, and two new water lines
were brought into Morton Grove to provide
fire protection .
"We kept in step with the times as we grew,"
Pinke smiled.
In recent years, Finke was instrumental in
getting a bank for Morton Grove. The town's
one bank had gone under in the depression, and
as the nation recovered from that disaster Finke
called a meeting of representatives of industry,
business and the general public to learn if they
would support a bank.
The consensus was that the town's growth

The Fidelia society, a singing group composed
of men who had come to Chicago from Germany,
met once a year at the Finke home for a picnic
with their wives and children. Finke (far right,
second row, seated) was a member of the group
from 1905 until it disbanded in the 1940's. His
wife is seated next to him in the picture, taken
in June, 1923 . Finke attended weekly Fidelia
meetings in Chicago, walking home if he missed
the train.

The name of Dilg is synonymous with the
history of Morton Grove.
It all started when John H. Dilg, who emigrated
to Morton Grove from Bavaria in the early part
of the 19th century, and married Maria Magdalena
Gabel, daughter of pioneer George Gabel, who
came to Morton Grove from Wurtemburg, Germany,
in 1843 .
They built a home, the origina 1 portion of
which is now the Colonial Homestead at 9101
Waukegan Rd., where many happy and busy hours
were spent raising their 13 children .
During his lifetime, John Dilg acquired 484
acres of land in Chicago, Glenview and Morton
Grove . At the time of his death in 1902, he gave
property and a house to each of his living children .
Dilg originally operated a general store in the
area west of Waukegan Road, now housing
Caruso's Res taurant. His fi rst building, erec ted

Henry Dilg remained at "the Homestead" with
his mother and in 1903 married, Freda, daughter
of Fred Borchardt, another early Morton Grove
settler.
Freda Borchardt had spent her girlhood in a
home on the site now occupied by a Sinclair
Service Station, on the southwest corner of
Dempster and Waukegan Road.
Later, Borchardt bought the property on the
southeast corner and his family lived there un til
it was Pl!rchased by George Boznos in 1925.
The northwest corner, which he also owned,
now houses the Mrs. Harry Vosnos' residence

When the Morton Grove Trust and Savings Bank
received ics charter in 1912, Henry Dilg was
active in its organization . He served as a director
of the bank for the 19 years it was in operation.
A charter member of the Morton Grove Lodge,
A.F. and A.M., org:rnized in 1926, he served as
its treasurer until his death in 1950.
One of the first members of Medinah Country
Club, he was always faithful to his Scottish Rite
and Medinah hrine fraternities. Other groups
he belonged to were the Elks of Evanston and
the Welcome Park Unterstituzungs Verein.
Howevffr, the most notable contributions made
by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dilg to Morton Grove were
orth Branch
stop for salesmen traveling the
route. It was here that they got food and livery
stable service. Also making the stop famous
were the prize winning onions produced on Henry's
farmlands.
Except for a short rental period, the Henry
Dilgs were active at "the Homestead" location
until 1940, acquiring a wide reputation for
gracious hospitality as well as fine foods and
liquors .
When the Henry Dilgs retired, they disposed
of their business and all property in Morton Grove
with the exception of their home at 9117 Waukegan
Road, and a surrounding acre. It was here that
they lived until their deaths.
Public Servant
Henry Dilg' s contribution to the life of Morton
Grove was of great importance in its growth.
He was village clerk in 1905, and served as
a village trustee for 19 years. He was a member
of the Volunteer Fire Departmeno and the Niles
Township Improvement Association. In 1921, he
was elected Niles Township assessor, a position
he held for 28 years.

their children, six of whom still live in the
village.
A seventh child , Violette, has spent the last
nine years in Saudi, Arabia, where she resides
with her husband, Fred Elliott, and daughter,
Deborah.
Roland, the eldest, is president of the First
National Bank and owner of Dilg's Realty and
Insurance Co., now operated by his brother,
Norman.
Son Henry is the distributor for Bornhoff' s
Dairy Products in this area, and Cornelius is
the friendly proprietor of Morton Grove's oldest
drug store, the Morton Grove Pharmacy.
Daughters Pearl Schiller and Ruby Tobin have
always participated in the town's church and
civic affairs, the PTA, and the Woman's Club.
In true Dilg fashion, they were always an integral
part of their father's business.
Collectively, the sons and daughters of Henry
Dilg have ten children-an assurance that the
name of Dilg will be perpetuated in Morton Grove.

"Women are wonderful!" Eddie Adams, the
easy-going proprietor of the Adams Driving
School, told us recently, "And what's more,
given enough practice behind the wheel they
drive as well as men!"
The first thing a woman says when she get:;
into the training car for her initial lesson is,
"Well, I'll bet you've never had anyone as
stupid as I am!" According to Eddie she then
proceeds to take instructions and follow them
scrupulously. He feels that it is this spirit of
humility which helps her along on the road to
a license.
Eddie and his vivacious wife, Van, have
lived and operated their business in Morton
Grove for 7 years now and are very fond of the
village.
Seven years ago when Eddie took the plunge
into business for himself, the merchants
of
Morton Grove were extremely kind to him.
He is especially grateful to the late Mr. Dahm,
former owner of Dahm's Dept. Store. One day
when customers were few and far between for
the fledgling school, Mr. Dahm handed him a
check and told him to go over to his house and
teach his wife how to drive whether she wanted
to learn or not!
f)ahm later sent Adams many students and
the Adamses will never forget his kindness.
Georgia Boy
A native of Baldosta Ga. near the Florida
line, Eddie's one complaint about this part of
the country is the winter weather. He feels that
people up here should learn to drive on ice and
snow right from the start. However, the school's
business is cut about 1/ 3 in snowy months.
It isn't necessary to be a psychologist to
be a driving instructor but evidently it helps.
According to Adams, instructors are born, not
made, since they have to be able to adapt themselves easily to the student's pe.:-sonality and
must be able to calm the student's ruffled nerves.
Probably the most difficult
to drive is the horrible time
the first appointment and the
instructor arrives at the front
period in learning
between making
monient when the
door.
Every student is terrified at the outset and
even over the phone the school seeks to give
the self-assurance he or she lacks. Van Adams,
tries to sooth ruffled nerves and bolster sinking
morale via the phone as she makes appointments
and answers questions.
Nervousness is often carried to great degrees.
Adams recalls the poor woman who was literally
shoved into the instructor's car by her everloving husband. After several minutes of driving
he told the student to turn a corner only to
find that she had fainted. After being revived,
the woman went on to attain her license and
hasn't fainted since.
Amusing incidents are the order of the day
in a school of this type. Husbands have been
known to phone and yell, ''Will you, send someone over here to teach ·rnis blankety blank
wife of mine how to drive a car!"
As a rule the couple has just come in from
a round of do-it-yourself driving lessons that
did not turn out so well.
Sneak Students
Sneak students are al ways a source of mystery
and amusement. One lady commissioned her
instructor to meet her in a certain alley every
day behind a gara g e in a car which bore no
driving school signs. Her story is one of the
great American success tales.
Every Sunda y for years her husband had
taken her out to teach her to drive and every
Sunday they had come home angry, sparks flying because she never seemed to progress.
Finally this witty woman devised her fiendish
plan.
She took secret lessons from Adams during
the week and amazed her husband with her
ability to learn on Sundays! To this day the
/JO or, but happy fellow believes that he and he
alone taught his u ife to drive.
Many times a woman will say, "Do you think
I' 11 ever be able to drive?" Adams laughingly
puts her at ease by answering, "Well, can you
swear?" One unhappy day followi_ng this bit
of repartee the student rolled down her window
and let loose a stream of profanity that would
have made a seafaring man blush!
Once Adams had a call to pick up a woman
at a large industrial plant in Morton Grove. As
he pulled up in front of the building a car filled
with women approached him and dozens of hands
pushed a timid soul out on the sidewalk.
"I'm your student," she stammered, "And
I lost my nerve!" She later thanked the wom~n
who had given her the final push toward her
driving school "diploma".
From 16 to 70
Students range from 16 to 70 years old; women
between 30 and 60 are the most prevalent. Many
customers are widows who call and say "I have
a new car in the driveway. Am I too old co learn
to drive itor shall I sell it?" All five of Adams'
instructors agree that it's never too late to learn.
Frequently whole families have taken instructions from the school - father, mother, and teen
age children.
The Adams Driving School will not cake
students who are under 16 years of age and do
not have their driving permits.
Van and Eddie emphasise the fact that even
their own daughters, Kathy 7½; Diann, 5, and
Joanne, 3, will not be given instructions until
they are at least 16.
In the past year driving schools have been
licensed by the Secretary of State, this is also
the first year that driving school instructors
have been required to take a written test and
a physical examination. Adams hopes that in
�23
time driving schools will be issued spe c ial
license plates so tha t it will be compulsory for
all s uch schools to meet certain rigid regu l ations.
Tighter License Requirements
In the past yea r the State has also tightened
its driver's license requirements and i t probably
will crack down even more since, only in this
way, can the accident rate be reduced.
The Adams school is proud that it has taught
dea f mute students as well as paraplegic and
othe r disabled ~e t erans after the wa r.

knowledge that through his instruction countless accidents have been prevented and dozens

Morton Grove Days
• • • •
A Tradition
The 31st annual Morton Grove Days celebration, which starts today in Linne Woods, is a
community-wide fiesta which has grown in scope
each year since its inception back in 1927.
Its actual beginnings date back six additional
years to the hectic period at the close of World
War I. At Americfl 's entry into the war in 1917,
a sma 11 group of Morton Grove women formed the
"Women's War Working Circle", and in 1920
they decided that a memorial should be erected
to commemorate the service of local men in chat
conflict.
As a fund-raising project, the Circle held a
street carnival and picnic on July 31, 1921,
which was called Morton Grove Day. But it didn't
develop into an annual affair until 1927, when
all the local civic organizations and many
individuals formed a committee to stage "an
annual celebration and homecoming on the third
Wednesday in August of every year.''
·
In 1936, the affair was expanded into a twoday celebration, and in 194-5 a third day was
added. By last year, the popularity of the event
forced addition of still another day.
Proceeds of the first "Day" back in 1921
helped the Women's War Working Circle co buy
the northeas t corner of Lincoln and Georgiana
streets and to erect a handsome war memorial.
The property later was deeded co the village
and eventually was given to the library board,
which built the present public library on the
site in 1951.
Max Pinke, former village president, was first
chairman of the Morton Grove Days committee
when it was founded in 1927, and was reelected
to the post for five successive years .
The committee is comprised of delegates from
all the civic, service and fraternal organizations
in Morton Grove who desire to participate.
Proceeds from the celebrations have gone to
aid the volunteer fire department, the Boy Scouts,
American Legion, school playgrounds, local
relief, Red Cross, flood relief, Little League
activities, sponsorship of soft ball teams, and
co Teen-Town, sponsorship of the July 4 fireworks display, and many other activities.
However, the major accomplishment of the
Morton Grove Days committee through the years
has been the purchase of approximately 4-0 acres
of land just east of Linne ll'oods, which was
deeded to the Morton Grove park district in 1952
and which formed the nucleus of the village park
system.
It was named George Harrer park, in honor
of the first village president of Morton Grove.
In the committee's revised and amended by laws, the avowed purpose of the non-profit group
is two-fold: to promote the genera I welfare of
the village residents, and to help promote development of the Mo rton Grove park system.

James T. Johnson was

Radiation Counter Laboratories,
Inc., of 5121 Grove, Skokie.
'Round and 'round it goes, and by the time it's through, you'll
either have shed waistline inches, or become an expert torso
twister. Janet Pawlak shows how perfectly easy it is to maneuver
the Hula-Hoop before a group of admiring spectators in front of
the Just for Fun Shop, 711 Main St., Evanston.
Mambo and cha-cha may be
the rage, but it's nothing
compared to real fancy belly
dancing. If you want practice
inthistorsoturningterpsichore,
I all you have to do is get a
Hula-Hoop, put it around you
at neck !eve I, and then start
gyrating, letting it work downward to the waist.
The Hula-Hoopla, which was
demonstrated in front of the
Just for Fun Shop at 711 Main
St., Evanston, combines the
virtues of an old Victorian toy
with the useful qualities of a
waist reducer.
In addition to its turning
technique, the Hula-Hoop can
be used for skipping rope, or
hoop rolling.

Have you found working in
your kitchen a drudge rather
than a delight? If so, Utility
Products Co., 1521 Sherman
Ave., Evanston, has created
a "step-less" kitchen, designed
to save you work and add
beauty to your home.
This smartly modern kitchen
is divided into three basic
work centers. A food storage
center includes refrigerator,
storage cabinets for staples,
vegetable bins, bread and cake
boxes, freezer and counter
area. The cooking center has
a range, work surface, light
and ventilation, and the dishwashing center has a double
sink or dishwasher and single
sink,
disposal,
receiving
counter for dirty dishes, storage
for clean dishes, glasses, and
other ware.
There are drawers for silver,
towels and aprons, and shelves
for cleaning supplies.
A bar or table doubles for
serving and eating purposes.
Convenient outlets for toaster,
waffle iron or coffee maker
with s torage space nearby for
napkins and table accessories
add to the remarkab le time
saving fea tures of this attra c tive kitchen.
Continuing with the idea of
combining good looks and
pra c ticality, is the laundry
center.
A louvered door folds to
disclose a comple te washer
and dryer unit.
DuVal Goldsmith, owner of
Utility Produc ts, Inc., believes
that the homemaker will find
every
possible convenience
as wellas beauty in the "stepless" kit chen.
The s t ore has its own
decora ting
assistant,
Mrs .
Madeline Mehlig, who helps
the customer plan a kitchen
keyed to her specific needs.
In addition to creati ng the
kitchen, Utility ~roducts does
all its own cabinet and carpentry
work. It takes up floors, lays
them and sands them, and re locates doors and walls .

THE VILLAGER
by TOM BRANAGAN
Out congratulations to Jim Tobey and his colleagues of the
Niles Township Real Estate Board for the excellent manner in
which they handled the board's annual golf outing and banquet.
The affair was held at the Wilmette Golf Club and the place
was jammed, thanks to the selling job done, largely by Tobey,
on businessmen of the township (including this corner).
Featured were free "refreshments" and a total of 34 golf and
48 door prizes. There were 142 attending. So it was an unlucky
couple who went home unloaded (perhaps "emptyhanded" is a
better word).
The crow.cl got a kick out of the prize woo by Medard Gabel of
Skokie's First National Bank. It was a $IQ certificate to open
an account at the First National Bank- of Morton Grove.
*

* *
We have received a copy of a letter from a resident of the 5200
block 0n Grove St. in Skokie to Ambrose Reiter, the vi 11 age
president, complaining about mosquito spraying. Actually, the
village does no spraying itself - this project being handled by
the Mosquito Abatement District, a separate taxing body set up
some years ago to· fight the mosquito invasion along the North
Shore.
Here are some excerpts from the letter, which we found entertaining:
"Last night ... the chemical-spraying truck roared slowly
through 0ur neighborhood, creating a dense fog of contamination
... Our screens do not keep out poisonou~ insecticides. When
the fog-making monster lays down its poisonous cloud, the best
thing to do, we found, is to quickly close all windows and doors.
§ometimes, Morpheus has had the upper hand, to the point that
none of us has awakened until having been 'gassed.' At other
0
3
times, the approaching roar has awakened one or more of us, at
which point our mad dashes from room to room in the inky blackness, at great peril to life and limb, take place in a .vain attempt
to get all openings closed immediately. Walls, furniture and other
immovable objects seem to relocate themselves at night-time,
seemingly right in one's direct line of travel. Bodily collision
with these objects serves to either awaken me more fully, or to
have the reverse effect: but to add to these injuries, the house
is full, by this time, of nasty-smelling, toxic vapor .. ·.
"I urge that necessary steps be taken immediately to stop this
infringement on our personal rights . .. Local nursery authorities
attribute tree and shrubbery damage to this promiscous spraying.
Beneficial insects are killed off, along with harmless insects.
How about the birds? More important, how about us humans . .. ?
"Would it be asking too much for us to expect ample warning
before clouds of poisonous chemicals are sent billowing through
our homes ... ?
"If you find that I'm the only dissenter, then all I ask is that
this spraying be stopped in the particular area necessary so as
to keep the poison out of my home. I shall be content to continue
to take on an occasional mosquito 'hand-to-hand'."
As you can see, the writer was taking a half-humorous view
of the situation - but he was quite earnest in his protest overall,
so we looked into the matter.
Mr. Reiter referred the complaint to Mr. LeRoy Kr i er, the
Skokie real estate and insurance man who serves (without pay)
as president of the Mosquito Abatement District. Here, in brief,
is Mr. Krier's assessment:
1. The mosquito spray is notharmful to shrubs, birds and other
animals i ncludiog humans. "Why, you can take a bath in the spray
we use," he said.
2. The district has a list of telephone numbers of persons who
request notice when spraying is planned in their area, and he
will add the name of the new dissenter to it.
3. The spray is smelly because it is necessary to "cut" it
with oil. The oil serves as a "settling" agent.
4. Generally, letters requesting spray far outnumber those of
the "non-spray" variety.
At any rate, Krier is wondering about the feeling of other persons living in the 5200 block of Grove St. We suggest they drop
him a letter at 4954 Oaktoo St.

Skokie trustees instructed
village attorney William M.

proposed Jewel store at Dempster and Karlov streets. Homeowners in the area had protested

Big Apartment Plan
Despite Plan Commission
approval, the Skokie village
board has deferred a decision
on permitting a 3½ million
dollar apartment building development in the Cicero-Central
area.
The board said a decision
will not be made until September, at least. Homeowners'
spokesmen appeared at the
meeting and protested the project vigorously. The nine-building development would have
210 apartments.
In another zoning case, the
that present construction plans
-providing for no setback off
the alley-would create a
traffic hazard.
This was the background of
the proposal for a Cicero-Central apartment development, as
brought out at Monday's plan
commission hearing:
Harold Harris, who is a

School Board, contended that

in the area (Cicero and Central
streets) now zoned for 36 individual homes, the apartment
building group wants to build
210 apartments. Instead of the
50 or 60 children that would
normally be expected to inhabit
this area in the. future, Harris
said, there would be approximately 220 children.
''Who w o u 1 d pay for the
education for these additional
children?" asked Harris. Not
the tenants of the apartment
building, he contended. Harris
felt it was unfair to ask the
North Central home owners
group to ultimately pay increased taxes on their property
for the future education of the
children in the proposed apartment building project.
A.S. Frankenstein, representing the apartment building
group which includes Irving
Green, president of Mercury
Records, said there is a need·
for apartments in Skokie now.
He maintained there is a housing shortage here for school

who cannot afford to purchase

McGah Named
Successor To
William Moran
At a special meeting of the
Skokie village board Saturday,
trustees passed a resolution
extending sympathy to the family
of William E. Moran, who was
attorney for Skokie's board of
improvements until his death
July 24.
The resolution praised the
late attorney for giving of his
time to Skokie '' far and above
the call of the duties of his
office." The board also lauded
Moran as an "outstanding public
servant" and noted his "friendliness and co-operation with
the village of Skokie in the
per for ma nee of his duties."
Additionally, at Saturday's
meeting, William J. McGah, Jr.,
was temporarily appointed

Bus Line, ICC
In New Bout
American Coach company and
the Illinois Commerce Commission have clashed again.
The line which the state commission had ordered to quit
running between Chicago and
six Northern Suburbs on July
15, has been charged with having 38 major defects among 20
company buses.
The ICC order to cease operating in Chicago, Evanston,
Skokie, Lincolnwood, Gl~nview, Morton Grove and Niles
was suspended by Circuit
Judge Harry M. Fisher, pending
the court's ruling on the case.
A safety check of 28 buses
this week by ICC inspectors
showed that 20 contained the
defects, Harold P rnlusny, ICC
examiner, said Friday.
"This routine check produced as many major defects as
existed in American's buses
in the 1955 inspections, which
led the commnssion to order
the company out of business,"
Poslusny added.
Two bus companies, South
Suburban Safeway Lines, and
Bluebird Coach Linds have
filed applications with the ICC
to take over American Coach's
territory.
Both Bluebird and American
Coach are headed by Frank
McCreary.
ECKHARDT 'SATISFIED'
Carl Eckhardt said today he
is satisfied with Circuit Judge
John T. Dempsey's decision
forbidding picketing at his
Morton Grove service station
-even though the judge did
not okay his $12,000 claim
against Teamsters Local 705
for alleged loss of income.
Eckhardt said he was awarded
a $1 settlement and that he
regarded this as a moral
victory.
Judge Dempsey ended the
long picket stand at Eckhardt's
station, 5,44 Lincoln Ave., by
injunction last week. He said
the station was picketed "for
the pu r p o s e of compe Hing
Eckhardt to sign a contract
with the union which would
force his employes into the
union contrary to their wishes.''
The case had been in the
courts and before the National
Labor Relations Board for virtually the entire three-year
period.

Things one thinks about while thinkinf!. of things

That it always waits until the week-end to
rain .....
That real jazz didn't really start on Basin
Street in New Orleans but in the deepest part
of the African jungle, when a beat meant anguish,
hate, love, life and death .....
That it's impossible to convince a youngster
not to be afraid of going to the dentist, when
you know getting her there means a bad tooth
has to be yanked .....
That the Skokie police department has the
nicest, friendliest, and handsomest police officers in the country . ....
That it's a wonderful feeling when the house
has quieted down for the night, to get into something comfortable, sans shoes and hose and
anything else you can get away with, and stretch
out on the floor while watching television .....
That a song like Autumn Leaves can still
make you weep, no matter how often you hear
it .....
That if we are to believe Descarte and his
"I think - therefore I am," theory, so many of
us are not really living .....
That deep down in her heart, a woman would

That next to the hunf!.er drive, sex is the

That no matter how hard you try to please
people, the one time you're remiss causes them

That we will never be able to conform to

V.F. W. Auxiliary Celebrates
Twelve Years of Service
When the members of the
Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars meets
on Wednesday, Aug. 13, at
8:15 p.m., in the Post Home,
Lincoln and Jarvis Aves.,
Skokie, they will be celebrating their 12th birthday.
It was Aug. 11, 1946, when
this group was firs~ formed.
During the past 12 years, the
Auxiliary has worked closely
with the Post and the community.
With the exception of their
first president, Mrs. Ethelyn
Stenson now deceased, the
past presidents of the group
are still active. They are Urs.
William Krewer, Mrs. Fred Keil,
Mrs. John Keegan, Mrs. Emily
Mussil, Mrs. Bernard Stellar,
Mrs. Anita Saskin, Mrs. Charles
Henn, Mrs. Carl Goverville ,
Mrs. James Simpson, Mrs. Lester Anderson, and Mrs. Richard
Lederle.
The activities of this past
year are indicative of the work
that the Auxiliary has done
in the preceding years.
Hines Hospital has been
visited twice a month and comfort gifts distributed to the
patients; sewing has been done
for hospital needed items, and
a bingo party was staged for
the veterans at the hospital.
As part of their civic activities, members are represented
on the board of the Orchard
School, and a check for $100
was contributed to the school's
fund. Contributions have also
been made to the new Lutheran
Hospital.
The Americanism and youth
activities committees presented a flag to the Notre Dame
High School, and a public
presentation of American flags
was made to many Girl Scout
and Brownie troops, as well
as the Mariners and the Girl
Scout ~amp in Wisconsin.
Members have participated
in Poppy Day and have worked
on the Community Chest, cancer, cerebral palsy and other
drives.
The Auxiliary sponsored an
essay contest at Niles Townhool, and the
ship High Sc_
winner, Rochelle Silverstein,
was also the first winner in the
Department of Illinois.
Contributions are made by
this group of women to the
Eaton Rapids National Home,
V.F.W.
At their meeting celebrating
their 12th year, Mrs. Richard
Lederle, this year's president,
will present Mrs. Helen Story,
4th District president of the
Department of Illinois, who
will make her official visit to
the group for this event.
After the meeting, the women
expect to do a bit of reminiscing as they partake of refreshments.
The Ladies Auxiliary receives its support from an
annual dance and card parry.
This year the parry 1s being
planned for Sept. 26.

''Artif ICIC I Kidney''
DEVELOPED IN MORTON GROVE LAB
by BETTY NEFF
•
(This is the last in a series of stories on Baxter
Laboratories, Inc.)
The day may come when a person with an
ailing or failing heart or kidney can turn it in
on a new, artificial one with a lifetime guarantee.
But that day still is far in the future. However,
research already has produced an efficient
"artificial kidney" for use in selected cases
until the patient's own kidneys can resume their
function.
The artificial organ is not placed within the
body. It's a drum, about the size of a kettledrum
in an orchestra, with a disposable coil at the
heart of the unit. It's manufactured in Morton
Grove by Travenol Laboratories, the pharmaceutical products division of Baxter Laboratories,
Inc.
It was put on the ma.rket some 18 months ago,
the result of the research and ingenuity of many
men, foremost of whom is Dr. W.J. Kol££ of
Cleve land. Dr. Kolff long has been interested in
the challenge posed in creating artificial internal
organs, and has pioneered in developing several
types of kidney, of which the Tra venol one 1s
the latest and most satisfactory.
He brought plans of the kidney to Baxter
Laboratories for testing and p:oduction. Baxter
and its subsidiary, Travenol, designed the
mobile tank unit, which is manufactured for
Travenol by a dairy equipment maker in Chicago.
Baxter itself manufactures the disposable coil
and the inflow and outflow tubes which are
connected to the patient's circulatory system.
Many tank units have been sold to hospitals
throughout the country. Use of the artificial
kidney is an emergency, rather than a routine,
procedure.
It is used in cases of acute kidney failure
where is the probability that the failure is
temporary, to gain precious time for survival
until the patient's own kidney function is restored.
in poison
One of its most dramatic functions
cases, where overdoses of certain types of drugs
are concentrated in the blood stream and cannot
be naturally eliminated by the comatose patient.
Can Save a Life
The artificial kfdney, which can take over for a
patient's ailing kidneys and cleanse his blood
of waste products.
Crushing wounds, multiple fractures, head
injuries, e:x_tensive blood loss, severe fluid loss,
severe anoxia (lack of oxygen) and severe infection -any of these factors can cause acute
kidney failure, and use of the artificial kidney
may prove lifesaving during the early, critical
phase. of treatment.
The kidney also is used to treat women who
develop acute kidney failure during pregnancy
or following delivery, or for pltients whose
kidneys fail to function following surgery.
The kidney works this way: A plastic tube,
with a built-in pump, is attached to the artery
of t_he patient's arm. and draws blood into the
coils, which are made to cellulose tubing embedded in Fiberglas screens. A rinsing fluid
circulates through the coils, washing out the
comparatively tiny molecules of urea along with
bromines, salicylates or other drugs, but leaving
the blood molecules safely within the semipermeable cellulose membrane. Another tube,
containing a filter, returns the washed blood to
a vein in the same arm.
The method of rinsing, called dialysis, is a
form of filtration which separates crystalloid
materials from colloids. A single treatment with
the kidney is of approximately six hours'
duration.
A sid-e advantage of the kidney is the fact
that removal of waste fJ!oducts from the blood is
accompanied by removal of water. Many patients
with acute kidney failure suffer from water accumulation in the tissues, and the artificial
kidney treats this condition while also combatting the more serious problem of waste
retention.
The average weight loss during a treatment
approximates four pounds, but as much as 10

pounds has been removed by deliberate use of
high pressure on the unit.
The fact that the coils are disposable means
that sterility is assured, the risk of transmitting
hepatitis of fever-producing agents to the patient
is eliminated, and rapid rep/acement of the coil
unit during treatment is possible within minutes.
Artificial Uterus?
The artificial kidney is but an early step in
man's struggle to gain better health and longer
life for his species.
Baxter Laboratories researchers are working
on other types of artificial internal organs. Other
investigators are experimenting with an artificial
nterus in animals. A purebred cow, for instance,
could be bred, the fetus removed and nurtured
in the artificial uterus, and the cow rebred almost immediately - a matter of vital dollars and
cents to her owner.
Some day , a Baxter spokesman predicted,
medical researchers will come up with an artificial heart that can be placed inside the body.
An artificial kidney for internal transplantation
will take much longer to develop because, while
the heart is essentially just a pump, the kidney
performs more diverse and delicate functions.
Until that time, the Morton Grove product will
provide dramatic help for many whose lives
might have been lost had it not been for the
inspiration and dedication which produced this
medical milestone.

make this place a fisherman's paradise.
.
This is a fish story.
Residents of Niles Township travel hundreds
of miles every ye a r in search of a paradise
where there's a perch on the end of every baited
hook and no vacationer ever goes home without
a carload of freshly caught Northerns, wall-eyes
and bass.
Such places are few and far between, even
in the wilds of Canada or the North \'7oods, but
right here in Morton Grove's back yard is a
Utopia for frustrated fishermen where 80,000
fish are churning the water hungrily begging to
be hooked.
This fish-filled paradise, where not even a
license is required, is known as the Fisherman's
Dude Ranch and is located on Golf Road about
a mile West of Milwaukee Avenue. Admission
is by "Admission Only" which simply means
that after paying your 90¢ entrance fee (50¢ for
children) you are issued a "membership card"
entitling you to fish the 3 ponds and "lake"
from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. of that day.
Frankly, if you should decide to spend the
entire day with rod and reel you had better bring
along a truck in order to haul your catch home.
Also, you bad best bring along your banker
since the trout you hook will cost about $1.65
a pound (25¢ extra if you want them cleaned);
bass is 1. 75 a pound and blue gills are 1.25 a
pound.
Fish Snappy Eaters
Lynn Perry is out to prove that girls
good as boys u•hen it comes to fishing.
Pole rental is 50¢ and bait runs from a plebian
25¢ for cheese bits to a royal 80¢ for a jar of
salmon eggs.
Your guess is as good as anyone's as to what
sort of nifty hors d'oevres the denizens of the
deep will be expecially interested in snapping
off the hook.
The "menu" includes such tasty treats as
shrimp paste, night-crawlers, frogs, cheese-egg
bait, pork rind and worms.
Last summer during a nation-wide fish-catching slump Bill Smith, the genial manager of the
Ranch, kept his fish happy and hungry on a diet
of strawberry preserves! He claims they scorned
their normal fare of Purina for days afterward.
It Started in A P it
Young ladies still don't like to remove a fish
from a hook, and William J. Main gives his
granddaughter an assist.
This home for frustrated anglers came about
through a combination of circumstances.
John Reding, owner of Reding Coal and
Material in .Des Plaines, owned the property on
Golf Road . In fact, it was his sand pit.
When he found that the pit contained cold
springs he remembered having visited a spot
where, for a small sum, a man and his family
could enjoy a day of fishing without fear of
returning home empty handed.
lie thought that such a place might be better
for children than amusement parks, since youngsters would develop an interest in clean healthful
sport and parents would have something to show
for the money they had spent entertaininl!, the
family.

families after 25 years on the force. He is wildly enthusiastic about the people he meets as
well as about his boarder, the fish.
He feels that the wriggly little fellows have
personalities of their own and he enjoys casting
Purina upon the waters and watching the greedy
young trout and blue gills jump up to catch their
fill. Trout, he says, eat about 10 times their
weight each day.
fish suffers from malnutrition in this fisherman's dream s,etting. Bill Smith, manager of
Dude Ranch, tosses some fancy tid•bits to his
"charges."
They Come This a' Way
"Where do the fish come from?" is one question every visitor is sure to ask.
The Ranch maintains two hatcheries in
Missouri and transports the half-pounders to
Illinois in special trucks once or twice a week.
A careful check is kept on receipts so that
the owners can tell when a new shipment is
needed.
The hatcheries will raise about 1,000,000
babies this year: Smith says that it takes more
care to raise fish than it does to raise children!
At the hatcheries the oxygen level must be
maintained because if it drops many of the fish
will perish.
The trucks have special tanks; oxygen and
water are pumped into them continually and the
driver must be espeeia Uy careful not to stop
suddenly since the fish would then hit th~ sides
of the tank and be killed.
A three day starvation diet awaits the slippery
little travelers before they are placed in the
trucks and 24 hours without food is the rule
after they are dumped in the lake. It is said that
after 4 days without food some of the more
desperate creatures will jump 3 feet in the air
for a handful of Purina.
Ranch Rules Strict
The Fisherman's Dude Ranch has a strict
set of rules. Failure to comply usually leads to
a revoking of the membership card. Barbless
hooks are not permitted.
A fisherman must retain his catch and a $5
reward is offered to "squealers" who report
violations.
The 25 acres of the Ranch are kept in apple
pie order due to the many trash recepticals
around the grounds. Although picnicing is
encouraged, littering is not.
Cgarcoal grills are provided for those who
simply can't wait to taste their catch and it is
said that nothing tastes better to young and
old alike than a fre~h trout browned to a turn
over a glowing fire.
Smith, who has devoured his share of fish in
the past 14 months, claims that the secret of
happy trout-eating is to rub the fish with cooking
oil, pop a pat of butter inside and grill until
golden brown. When the fish is cooked the skin
will slide off like a banana peel.
Ranch "Home" Attractive
The office of the Ranch closely resembles
the fishing lodges of the North Woods, with its
pine paneled walls and leather furniture.

table sofa 1nd chairs make it an ideal place
for the lazy members of the family to watch
tdevision while the more active souls are angling.
There is also a sunny patio where garden
tables and umbrellas provide a cozy place to
sip a cool drink after a day of fun.
One of the employees of the Ranch is Maine
Township High School senior Bob West who
practically "knows each fish by his first name."
Bob, who is an avid wild-life enthusiast (in
the very non-delinquent sense of the term),
obligingly caught a beautiful 2½ pound rainbow
trout for the benefit of the Villager the day we
visited with him.
He fishes for an hour or so every day before
starting work and spends most of his days off
at his fpvorite sport. His mother, by the way,
is probably pretty tired of fish by now.
Bob's ambition in life is to be a forest ranger
and right now he'd like to go down to the hatchery
in ,Missouri for a while.
in Skokie, had brought his two sons Jim and Bob
out for· the day because· he knew, he said, that
they would not be disappointed with the catch
in this sure-fire spot.
Fishermen From Everywhere
We met families of fishermen from Western
Springs; Mt. Prospect, North Lake and one
tetired fireman from Florida.
One beaming couple, the Burkes of Western
Springs, told us that the only place in the country they had seen comparable to the Ranch was
a similar spot in Estes Park, Colorado.

As if the prospect of a day in the sun catching fish wasn't enough, the Ranch has added
such enducements as Ladies Day (Wednesday)
when all gals, young and old are admitted free.
A $60 fishing set is given away every week to
some fortunate guest who has signed the register,
and any fis.h weighing over 10 pounds is yours
for the taking.
Not long ago a small boy caught a 14 pounder
in the big lake and it dido 't cost him a dime.
Smith told. us that there are fish out there "so
big, that if they had legs on 'em you'd mistake
'em for pigs!"
Smith's favorite tale (remember we told you
this was a fish story) is about the man who was
fishing with two hooks. He caught one fish on
each hook and as he was hauling them in a 4
pounder latched on to the tail. of one of them!
Sounds fishy, doesn't it?

(Second of a series on summer travel by the wellknown radio- TV announcer, who is Niles Township's No. 1 travel enthusiast.)
Next time you cross the corner of Oakton St.
and Skokie Boulevard you will be exactly 17 4
miles from Turkey Run State Park at Marshall,
Indiana.
Take my advice and travel those 17 4 miles
via U.S. 41, because they will lead you to one
of the most beautiful spots in the entire country.
Turkey Run State Park, an area of natural
enchantment, exists today because a stubborn
man named John Lusk refused to sell his estate
to timber interests . The government awarded
1000 acres of land to his father, Capt. Salmon
Lusk, for military service above and beyond the
call of duty .
Capt. Lusk . • • a Vermonter . . • built his
home on this• land in 1841 and his sob held onto
it despite the enormous sums offered him by
lumber people. He refused to let a lumberman on
his property, for he loved his woods and trees
more than anything else in the world.
When he died in 1915, those who best knew
this unusual man convinced the state of Indiana
that his magnificent tract of land should be a
state property. In 1916, the Lusk home and all
its surrounding land became Turkey Run State
Park.
The name Turkey Run was decided upon
because early residents remembered thousands
of wild turkeys which collected in great flocks
under the natural protection of overhanging cliffs.
At one time the Miami Indian Tribe lived in the
area and many of the birds were trapped by the
Indians among the deep hollows for food.
Turkey Run State Park is the result of a
prehistoric disturbance which resulted in deep,
rock-walled canyons and gorges.

which meets your eye as you climb the high
hills and look down on Sugar Creek cUt:ting its
way through acres of gorges.
For the fisherman, Sugar Creek is a P~radise
abouding in black bass, crappies and rock bass.
Sunset Point, just a few feet from the Inn,
offers a delightfully different spectacle as the
sun seemingly sets right smack in the middle of
Sugar Creek.
On the P<1rk's 1521 acres. are 30- miles of
foot trails and 20 bridle paths. We hiked many
of these trails, and found each different,
A short fifteen minute hike takes you through
Turkey Run Hollow, a trail that is exactly
a half mile long, and very easy to negotiate.
The other extreme is a trail tha~leads to Goose
Rock, Ship Rock and the old Covered Bridge.
This trail is three miles and can become quite
rugged at times. It winds through Box Canyon
and Gypsy Gulch and offers some thrilling
experiences.
There are so many things to do and see
I hardl'}' know which one to write of next. There
are fennis, badminton, so/tball, horseshpe
pitching, horseback riding, even pony cart rides
for the youngsters. Moonlight hayrides are offered
three times each week, and there are weiner
roasts, square dancing, nature hikes with a
guide, and conservation department movies and
slides.
Sounds as though it would cost a fortune
doesn't it? But we foupd Turkey Run' s prices to
be well below those of any other place we have
visited in the country. Over 200 accommodations
are available at any time of the year. The prices:
$7.85 per adult ••• $5.00 per child over 8 ••.
$3.00 per child under eight. These prices include
three delicious meals per day.
If you prefer to camp out, Turkey Run' s
campsite is excellent with extremely clean
restrooms a.nd a custodian on duty 24 hours
daily.
I think one of the secrets if this fine
park is in the selection of personnel. People
like Tommy Mills, the man in charge of the Inn.,.
a most delightfull host; Herb Hayes and Charlie
Paddock, two of the people who see to it that
the park is always in top-notch condition; Will
Ritchey, who operates the saddle barn and is
never to busy to g.tve a riding · lesson or take a
hayride.
Turkey Run State Park is. a place we can
highly recommend to one and all.

by JACK MULLER
Jack Muller leading a criminal suspect into cell•
Nine out of ten sex criminals are walking the
streets of our city. today, free as the wind. Why?
Bec:ause, to my· experience, nine out of ten of
our judges qo not possess the wisdom or intestinal fortitude to put a sufficient bond on their
heads once we (the police) bring them to justice.
Your little boy or girl may be in mortal danger
this very moment because some judge didn't do
his job an hour ago.
A short time ago a seven year old girl was
brought to us. She had been severely sexually
assaulted. Fortunately, children are quite retentive, and she was able to give us an extremely
accurate description of her attacker. Even to
the green paint marks on his shoes .
Instinctively feeling that this man might ret4rn
to the general scene of the crime, the following
day I made it a point to be in the neighborhood
where the girl was molested. I saw a station
wagon which fitted the description, and stopped
it for not signaling when turning a corner. I
noticed a number of clues which led me to believe that this man was the offender being sought,
not the least of which were the green paint marks
on his shoes .
Ex-Convict
I took the man into custody and he was identified by the girl as the fiend. We found out that
he had done fourteen years for molesting a ten
year old girl- and that at the present time he
was out on $5000 bond for the sexual molestation
of another child in another section of our same
city.
The case• came to court. The judge, knowinl(
full well that one 15000 bond had already been
proved insufficient to prevent this criminal from
attacking another innocent child, sti{l set only
the minimul 15000 bond on the man?
The fiend met the bond and was free a few
hours later. When the case came up, he was
nowhere to be found. No clues as to his whereabouts co u Id subsequently be found. He is
probably roaming our streets at this very moment
about to perpetrate his vicious orgies upon som,
unsuspecting child.
This kind of occurrence happens virtually
every day in the city of Chicago. Our suburbs
suffer just as much because of it. A diseased
mind does not stop at the city limits. Day after
day, week after week, we read in the newspapers
about such fantastically horrible crimes as those
of the Grimes girls, the Schuessler and Peterson
boys, and Judith Anderson. And day after day,
week after week, hardly ten per cent of our
judges levee a sufficient bond upon sex offenders
to ,keep them in jail until their trial. Once the
trial comes up-if the criminal is there-the
penalties are just as light and ineffective as the
bonds were before them.
Why are the judges so lax in protecting out
children?
Political Pawns
Above and beyond the everpresent possibility
of the "fix", judges are incompetent because
they are political pawns. They are selected
by the politicians, which usually makes them
completely susceptible to outside pressure and
graft. There are self-made men in this world,
but rarely, if ever, are they in politics. I will
always recall what one police captain of mine
once said: "I'm just a patrolman who knew
somebody.''
Does this, then, make a judge more qualified
for his job than an ordinary layman walking on
the street? It does not .
And because nine out of ten judges are of this
ilk, nine out of ten of our sex offenders are go•
ing free each day •
The judges sometimes give a last-try excuse
by saying that the jails are too crowded to
appropriately sentence all sex offenders. What
a feeble excuse! Even if it were true, no excuse
is good enough if your child or mine is going
to be a shocking, heinous, needless headline
and• criminal statistic in this paper next week.

He Speeded Justice • • •
s
The wheels of justice turn slowly -too slowly, in one particular case, for William A. Cain,
young Skokie attorney. He speeded them, and
in so doing rectified one of justice's miscarriages.
In 1933, 19-year-old Virgil Baker was sent
to prison for a $3 robbery of a passenger on a
Chicago street cat.
When the prisoner, who was without funds,
first appeared before the judge, now deceased,
an attorney was appointed by the court. The
young man was urged to enter a plea of guilty,
and received a sentence of one year to life.
Baker's family was unable to raise money to
hire an attorney once he was in jail, and the
prisoner, who felt he was innocent, tried on two
occasions to escape. He felt this was the only
way he would ever get out.
A few years ago, Baker's relative finally
found sufficient funds to appeal his case.
They requested the Chicago Bar Association
to refer them to an attorney.
Last year, Cain was chairman of the Chicago
Bar Association's committee for the defense
of indigent prisoners. An attorney for ten years,
Cain, having worked with all types of prisoners,
had the knowledge and background to assume
the case presented to him.
Although the time limit of 20 years to appeal
a case had expired, Cain petitioned for a writ
of habeas corpus.
Careful study of transcripts of the original
hearing proved to Cai.n that the ;udge did not
warn Baker of the consequences of a plea of
guilty. A statute provides that in s·uch a plea,
this must be done.
He also discovered that throughout the testimony, at no time was a guilty plea actually
taken.
He had to show that judgment of the court
was void.
A few days ago, after 24 years in jail, Chief
Justice Harold P. O'Connell of Criminal Court
released Virgil Baker, now 42 years old.
As a sideline, Cain is a professional hypnotist.
He says he first became interes·ted in hypnotism
when he saw how it was being used in character
rehabilitation of prisoners.
Today his name is prominent in cafe and
club circles and with groups before whom he
appears, as one of the most interesting and
entertaining hypnotists in the business.
Cain's talents don't stop here. He was a
musician before he became an attorney and had
his own record pantomine show Dn television
station WBKB. He was a disc jockey on radia
station WAIT.
It bile working as an entertainer, Cain contin-
s
WIL LIAM C. C AIN
ued his law studies. Although he was still in
radio and television when he became an attorney,
he decided to use entertaining as a hobby and
f!.O into the serious practice of law.
Cain also was president of the Independent
Democratic Club of Niles Township, a dissident
group which recently decided to join Martin
"Scotty" Krier's Regular Democratic Organization.
Cain's offices are at 32 W. Randolph St. in
Chicago. He lives with his wife, Audrey, and
2-year-old daughter, May, at 4056 Greenwood
Ave., Skokie. Another prospective attorney,
or entertainer, 1s expected soon rn the Cain
household.

21/2 miles on a
Tea Cup of gas!
In a contest sponsored by Mancuso Chevrolet
of Skokie, Police Sgt. Joe Thiry proved that
he could go farther on a cup of gas than 150
other entrants.
The "Tea Cup Derby" was held on July 18
and 19. Contestants could select any area rn
Skokie to drive in.
A Mancuso employe went along with each
entrant and, working with a gauge that held a
cup full or one tenth of a gallon of gas, was
able to check by the speedometer the exact
distance the car could travel on that amount.
This figure was multiplied by ten, and in the
case of the winning Sgt. Thiry, 25.6 miles on
a gallon of gas was recorded for a Chevy.
For proving that it could be done, the sergeant
won a covered wagon grille that he, his wife,
and daughter, Sandra Ann, 5, are already using
at their home, 7620 Niles Center Rd . , Skokie.
Other winners, and the gifts presented to them
by Philip Lipne r, general sales manager for
Mancuso Chevrolet, were Lt. Art H en n i g, a
Girrard-Peraux watch; H. Thomas of Chicago;
;i portable radio; Kenneth Allen, 9003 Keating
'\ ve., Skokie, a portable ice-box, and Leslie
McFarlane of Glenview, a barbecue set.

Dear Editor:
An article appearing m a
local paper on Monday unaer
the heading "Analyze Skokie
Money Bill'' had several
statements which were inaccurate, either because of simple
lack of knowledge on the part
of the writer, or else because
of a desire to misinform the
public.
Village Trustees Babb, Krier
and Krewer receive $15.00 per
meeting and Trustees Smith,
Reese and Wakefield receive
$10.00 per meeting, not $25.00
for all, as was stated.
August 7, 1958
THE VILLAGER
These facts are a matter of
public record and cannot be
misconstrued.
Another statement was
"public improvements, paid
·for with bonds, forced a heavier
load on the village each year
as they repaid the funds they
borrowed with interest." If the
reporter who wrotcc: this would
do a little legwork, he would
find this statement is false.
The amount for retiring village
bonds in 1958 was $225,474.50
and in 1 9 5 9 is d o w n to
$ 2 14,670. 5 0, a drop of
$10,804.00. It has been the
policy of the present village
board to keep the bonded debt
as low as possible.
Another statement "Village
Manager Arthur Lowther has
made it very clear to this
newspaper that 'I don't want
anyone to get the idea that
this is an ordinance I prepared"
1s a deliberate attempt to
embarrass our fine manager,
Mr. Lowther. The writer, whose
name appeared on that story,
is the son of the village auditor of neighboring Lincolnwood
and should know that the
appropriation ordinance is the
joint work of many people: the
manager,the mayor and trustees,
the attorney, all department
heads and the village auditor.

Dear Editor:
As both the Jewish and nonJewish community are aware,
a dastardly act of vandalism
was inflicted upon our synagogue, now under construction at
8843 Monticello Ave. in Skokie.
The incident occurred in the
late evening of July 11 or in
the early morning hours of July
12, and naturally caused a
great deal of co n c er n to
members of the synagogue and
residents of the community.
The vandalism was in the form
of giant letters painted in black
paint reading, "Jesus
tar
Saves" with a huge swastika
painted directly underneath.
Since that time, many people
have contacted me regarding the
apprehension of the vandals
and the effect that their work
would have upon our sanctuary
and school building. We have
also been asked how the entire
matter was handled in relation
to the community at large.
At a special Board meeting
held Saturday night, July 12,
our congregation decided to
work through the off i c i a 1
channels of the organized
community. Consequently, we
turned the matter over to the
Community Council,
Jewish
whose president, Mr. Myron
Greisdorf in turn consulted with
the Human Relations Council
of Niles Township through its
president, the Rev. Earl Lusk,
Pastor of St. John's Lutheran
Church of Lincolnwood. The
Human Relations Council,
which is composed of all duly
authorized organizations and
religious bodies in Niles Township, issued a strong protest
of condemnation against the
act of vandalism to the press
and proceeded to urge the
police, who were informed by
our members immediately after
the incident, to attend the
matter with the most efficient
dispatch possible.
Rev. Lusk, Mr. Greisdorf and
I met subsequently and agreed
that what happened to our
synagogue was not merely an
insult against Judaism, even
though that was its most basic
character. It was, however, in
a larger measure, an act of
desecration against Christianity
since its Savior's name,
standing as it does for brotherhood and peace, was linked with
the most terrible symbol of
destruction and holocaust ever
known in the history of mankind. At this writing, the
vandals have not been appreOur contractors are

attempting with various
solutions and techniques, to
remove the inscription from
the south wall of the synagogue.
It is too early yet to determine
whether that inscription will
yield to these solutions or
whether we shall be forced to
destroy the wall entirely and
rebuild it. What the vandals
did not foresee, however, was
that this act actually cemented
human relation ships in the
Niles Township area, rather
than. causing any disruption to
our community life through interreligious animosity. United as
we are, under the aegis under
the Human Relations Council,
we dedicate ourselves to the
continuation of harmony
between peoples of different
beliefs in our area.
Sincerely
Rabbi Milton Kanter

Dear Edi tor:
My name is Tom. I go to

going and our parents help too.
I've learned a lot in Orchard

along with guys and to work
with them. I have learned how
to do a lot of things that help
at home and to finish a job
that I start. We have a work-

shop at school and I earn some
money on the things I make.
The weaving teachers have
taught me to weave some very
nice things.
I help in the work around
school, too, raking tan bark
around the swings in the playground, setting up or putting
away cots at noon time., and
helping with the little children
in the station wagon.
We have fun, too. We go
bowling every week and have
our own social club. I have
lots of things to do and lots
of friends.

(Editor's note: Thanks for the
letter, Tom. We know of the
fine work RoinR on at Orchard
School for exceptional children
like yourself and we hope the
folks of Niles Township pitch
in to help a worthy cause.)
Dear Editor:
I have read y our column
"AROUND and ABOUT"
appearing in the 17 July issue
of the VillaRer.
I want you to know how very
much we a ppr e c i ate your
support. It is reassuring to
see in print that the "get-out"
mood is not all-pervasive in
this area.
It has been my good fortune
to meet and get acquainted with
many fine citizens in this area.
I regret that I did not have the
pleasnre of meeting and visiting
with you during your recent
visit to the Air Station. I look
forward with pleasure to an
opportunity to meet you and
personally extend my genuine
appreciation. and
With sincere appreciation
and best wishes, I am,
Sincerely yours,
H. H. Caldwell
Rear Admiral, U. S. Navy
Franklin gave our cousin the
token of our other daughter.
After subjecting this child to a
"third-degree" type of questioning, the locker-room employee
took the token away.
In the evening I phoned the
administrati<;>n
building and
spoke to a man who said he was
in charge. He informed me that
it was Park District policy to
confiscate the tokens in these
circumstances,
and not to
return them.
What I would like to know is
by what law ·c an the Park
Di strict deprive my family of
one-fourth of our s w i mm in g
privileges, for which I paid a
good price? This appears to
me to be at the least, very
unfair, and at the most, no
different than if we had been
forcibly robbed of the token.
If the Park District does not
want an y outsiders to use the
pool, why sell individual admissions on a daily basis?
What difference does it make
if another person uses the
tokens so long as no more than
what the family paid for, (four,
five, etc.) is accounted for?
It will be interesting to see
how many other Skokians have
had similar experiences at the
Devonshire Pool. Perhaps we
will find out-if you will print
this letter.
Sincerely,
S. J. Franklin

(Editor's note: Mr. Robert Rube ,
superintendent of the l'ark
District, says in rebuttal that
it is park policy to confiscate
tokens which have been transferred from one person _
to
another. I/ e points out that the
tokens carry on them a ''non-
,La,
21
trans ferrable"
notation and
says the whole system of the
pools would break down were
wholesale transfers permitted,
since they would be overcrowded with "free loaders."
i\lr. Rube arRues that the system
must be run accordinR to strict
rules that apply to all. As for
"third-devee" questioninR, he
says he knows of none, but is
inves tiRatinR.
Dear Editor:
I am taking this opportunity
of congratulating you and the
staff of the ViliaRer for publishing one of the most attractive
and well written weekly news
bulletins that I have had the
pleasure of reading in a long,
long time. I probably have the
distinction of being your only
Texas subscriber. When I first
saw your publication last May
in Skokie while v1s1t1~g my
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris
Benowitz of 8923 N. Lavergne
in .Skokie, I decided to become
a subscriber since I felt that
the VillaRer w o u 1d be an
excellent means of keepin g me
informed as to the developments in Skokie. I have not
been disappointed and your
newspaper is often the focal
point of con versa ti on in
correspondence with my pa rents.
Since you carry so man y
items of local interest and man y
photos I wonder if you might
want to use the enclosed snapshot for rep rod u c i: ion in a
future issue of the VillaRer. I
know my parents and ma ny
friends in Skokie would enJoy
seeing it in your publication.

Dear Editor:
I feel that you and the other
readers should know what is
going on at the Devonshire
Pools, largely because of the
arbitrary, high-handed policies
of the Park District.
July 31, one of m:S, daughters,
age 8, went to the pool with a
young cousin. It was after
4 p.m. and as a matter of fact,
by the time they would have
gotten into the pool it would
have been at least 4:30 p.m.
Because of the shortage of
swimming time remaining, Mrs.

Versatility Was a Must
For Morton Grove Cards
Manager Fred Bernard of Watters' Morton Grove Cardinals,
15-16 year old P-O-N-Y Grad
team, reports an arhazing
amount of versatility on his
squad - more than compensation
for whatever shortages the
team might have had.
Although the season's roster
exceeded 20 names, a total of
49 names appeared at th e
Cardinals' nine positions during
their twelve-game season just
completed.
This figure was reached by
most of the youths playing more
than one position during the
season. Some played several
spots.
For example, a total of eight
different lads played shortstop,
seven played third base and
six different faces were seen
in center, right and on the mound.
"This all cam e about,"
Bernard explained, "when some
of the boys failed to show up
because of vacations, jobs or
o th er conflicting interests.
Only half of the 20 boys we
carried suited up for some of

Fefferma n Disavow s His
Organiz ation's Swing to Krier
Manuel M. Pefferman, one of
three candidates defeated by
Martin "Scotty" Krier for Democratic committeeman in the
April election, said today that
he personally has not joined
forces with Krier.
Fefferman said in a statement that "his (Krier's) politics
and my politics can never be
compromised."
Two weeks ago William A.
Cain, president of the group
which backed Pefferman, announced that he and a 11 other
officers of the Independent
Democratic Club of Niles Township, the old Fefferman organization, were aligning themselves
with Krier's "able
leadership.''
In addition to Fefferman,
Krier also defeated Thomas
J. Halpin and Jack Korshak in
the
committeeman election .
Fefferman's statement said;
"Those few that have joined
forces with Krier have done
so only for political jobs and
their own personal gain, and
their lot is not missed by our
group."
He said he , Halpin and Korshak have joined forces in a
new organization called the
"Skokie Regular Democratic
Voters Club".

National Championships
Of Do-It-Yourself Sport
Held Last Week at Glenview
Model plane enthusiasts arrive at Glenview
Navel Air Station for the 1958 national model
airplane champio~ships. Because these delicate
craft can't all ride inside the car, their builders
find seats on fenders and trunk.
Three hobbyists admire a propeller-driven model
as Jerry Ferguson (left) of Valley Stream, N.Y.,
refuels it. This year miniature jets also competed,
for the first time since the model plane championships were initiated 27 years ago.

Good thing this demolished en try is only a

building, tuning and testing the baby aircraft .

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:
children
additional
The
from such a project would
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

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.
~ ,,,
r4t f~
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.

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

first issu..__' a century ago and utilizing the
basic idea of .. revolver pistol to give a rifle
more than one shot ,:; th out reloading. DeLove' s
specimen is one of the .::>rest guns in any collection.
Another prized collector's item is DeLove's
Paterson Colt, an almost new pistol complete
in its case with the original tools and powder
flask for loading . These guns were used in the
struggle of the Republic of Texas to gain its
independenc e from Mexico, and were standard
equipment for the famed Texas Rangers.

legends. Wyatt Earp and the "Buntline Special"
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
are known.••
But what got him started in the first place?
a reporter persisted.
DeLove chuckled.
"You have to be a li ttl e crazy," he said.
�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.)

-Aileen Fisher
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.
Larae SeleeUon of Delltsn•
- Rachel Field
Or, you might perch daringly on a limb over the
water and smile prettily for the camera. Left
to right, Candy Wennerstrom, 11; Jack Wenner·
strom, 10; Carolyn Schoeller, 13, and Barry
Schoeller, 11.
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

It was finally agreed that it was getting
pretry tired out, so we gathered our gear and
headed back for the all too realistic life we had
so complete ly escaped for a fun-lovin g day in
the woods.
Then, after sich a day of mirth
And happines s as worlds is wurth - So tired that Heaven seems high about,
The sweetest tiredness on earth
Is to git home and flatten out So tired you can't lay flat enough,
And sorto' wish that you could spred
Out like molasses on the bed,
And jest drip off the aidges in
The dreams that never comes ag'in.

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!

People have been asking how we're getting
along these days with Mike Barrett, subject of
the Around and About column May 29. He's the
Erin-born proprietor of the Fish Pond and was
irked because the Villager ran his small ad one
week when we weren't supposed to. The mixup
caused customers to swamp his establishment and he wasn't prepared for them.
While we're in a photo-reproducing frame of
mind we're also including the one below, which
was taken by the advertising man, Ben W. Glassman of 5120 W, Farwell Ave., Skokie. The dog
is Tipper, owned by a friend. The lady is Mrs.
Glassman, which explains why Ben happened to
be taking pictures in the lady• s bedroom.
Well, that's not the full explanation. Ben was
attempting to prove a point, to-wit: Tipper sleeps
with her eyes open.
He offers this photo as evidence. We are not
convinced. We maintain that Ben was not as
stealthy as he thought he was and that Tipper
was wide awake, eying him curiously.
At any rate, Ben - as a livewire advertising
man - should have sensed the inherent danger
in the whole situation.
Supposing he had discovered that Mrs. Glassman sleeps with her eyes open?
We're happy to report that Mr. Barrett has been
mollified and we consider ourselves again on
friendly terms with him. To prove it, we're reproducing here a picture of a smiling Mike. Barrett
we took recently. Mike, as you can see, is still
busy with the shrimp knife. He reports business
is excellent.
Worried about "hot money" in the event of
nuclear attack? The Federal Reserve Bank of
Chicago is takins precautions to see that our
cash isn't in radioactive zones and is available
after disasters. Special 12-hour courses in radiological instrumentation and evaluation are being
given at the Bank this summer.
Incidentally, Glassman reported that on Flag
Day, last Saturday, he drove down street after
street from Pratt to Touhy and Cicero to Laramie
and there were no more than 4 or 5 flags displayed.

Morton Grove trustees Tuesday night turned down as "not
in the in t e re s t of the community" a request by a group
of property owners that a sewer
system be re-inspected.
Tom Flynn, acting as spokesman for a group of homeowners
in the southeast section of the
village, maintained that, in laying the Linder Ave. sewer, the
con tr a c tor had varied from
specifications.
Trustee Ed Brice reported
that village engineers had inspected the sewer line many·
times and had found no deviations.
The property owners asked
that the village board hire a
private engineer to check on the
village engineers' findings .
With trustees Cy Wagner and
David St. Pierre taking a strong
stand against the proposal, the
board voted to table the request.
In another case, the board
referred to Gardner and Associates, pJanning specialists, ari
application for a building permit by Midas Muffler Shops.
The board questioned whether
the proposed building's parking
facilities - at Dempster and
Parkside - would conform with
zoning regulations.

We can't think of anything that could have
de-sacked us more than watching some high
school girls on television recently.
The youngsters were dancing on one of those
teen-time tediums, (two hours of same music,
same faces, same dance step) and in spite of
the stone-like expressions on their faces,
seemed to be having a good time.
A number of the girls wore sack dresses.
Some of them looked like they were in clothes
they might have borrowed from an older, much
heavier sister (even though the dress might have
cost Mom a pretty penny.)
But what distressed us most was seeing these
pretty young things, with their lithe figures,
looking like a number of shapeless husks.
Occasionally an "old fashioned" girl would
dance by in a pretty, full skirt and blouse, or
a fitted, simple sheath, and she would complete,
ly obliterate her more "fashionable" sisters.
Like a bolt of thunder it hit us: if a pretty
youngster can wash herself out so formidably in
one of these moronic inspired creations, what
must' it do for women like us who must utilize
what little we have to work with.
We have no intention of getting rid of the
sack and chemise dresses that hang in our
closet, since they cost us some hard-earned
money, but we do intend to make use of a needle
and thread, and Well, a nip here, a tuck there, a few lines of
stitching, and perhaps we can get back into
shape again.
Mary Gillette, she of the music and gift shop
in Old Orchard, was certainly using her creative
talents when she sent out personal engagement
calendars to her friends. A colorful, decorated
engagement folder with your own name imprinted
at the top. What an ego booster.
We wish to go on record as stating that we
have never heard our boss, Tom Branagan, lose
his temper. We state this publicly as an impetus
(we hope) for his continued restraint.
However, we wish we had a thought recording
device. It would be interesting to know what he
is thinking when something occurs that should
incur his wrath, and he merely smiles as he
changes color.

As I sit here by the sea,
Wondering what will become of me,
Watching waves that roll to foam,
I think- when will I find a home?
As I sit and dream of dreams to come,
I wonder if they'll e'er be done,
For the days I spent were quite a few
Wishing for someone just like you.
Then I saw the blue of your eyes, the
sun in your hair,
Just once I saw you, but I knew you
were there.
Now my dreams have ended - I've
found my home,·
o more shall I wander, no more shall
I roam.

FOR SALE: 1924 Model T Coupe,
Rough, needs top replaced, doesn't
run . Firm $150.
Don't laugh. This current ad is like honey to
a bee to a happy band of antique auto enthusiasts which counts 13 Niles Township
residents ainong its members.
They belong to a really fun organization
known as the Model T Ford Club. Members all
own Model T's, and several own more than one.
Through the club, they track down spare parts,
exchange information, and share in costumed
outings which put the restored tin Lizzies
through their paces.
Right now, the members are up to their run·
ning-boards in work, getting their ancient
vehicles as ready as they'll ever be for the
club's annual summer outing. This year it will
be a three-day trip to the Wagon Wheel motel
at Rockton, some 100 miles down the pike.
They'll wheeze along at a 30-mile-an-hour
clip, leaving Chicago at 9:30 a.m. July 25 and
hoping to arrive at Rockton by mid-afternoon
after a stop for a picnic lunch.
Walter Goodman of 9654 Karlov, Skokie,
serving his second one-year term as president
of the Model T Ford Club, International, and
owner of seven antique autos, says the purpose
of the club "is not primarily to run a restoration
contest, but to have an organization · where we
can benefit both socially and in the pursuit
of our hobby''.
Need Parts, Club Starts
The club was chartered in Illinois in October
of 1952 by a few Chicago area residents for the
purpose of helping one another find spare parts
and supplies. Annual picnics highlighted the
year's activities, which for each member consisted chiefly of acquiring a pile of parts and
building a respectable "T" almost from scratch.
Skokie's Ed and Mar)( Bayless show what the
well-dressed couple wore when Henry Ford's
tin Lizzies sputtered along the roads scaring
horses and. the crank replaced the buggy whip
as a starting device.
The new club received publicity in other
antique auto club magazines, and the member·
ship grew to around 350, most of them in the
Chicago area. In 1954, the Model T club began
issuing a mimeographed magazine of its own
and memberships came in from California, New
York and places in between. Other chapters
were formed.
"Then, unknown to anybody, we began to
pick up members from all over the world,"
Goodman said. "We have members in Australia,
New Zealand and Canada and we recently
received a request from a group interested in
old autos in 1/olland. Their need for parts and
accessories brought them to us."
With such far-flung chapters, the original club
became the Model T Ford Club International.
It's current members number 925.
Once a person acquires a T, his life apparent• ly becomes both more exhilarating and more
complicated.
"We find it's a disease," Goodman said.
"After you get one, you can't stop."
Stored In Barn
He himself rents a barn to house his seven
antiques - a 1913 roadster, a 1924 coupe and a
1927 sedan, all T's, and a 1909 Buick, a 1919
American-LaFrance fire truck, a 1920 Peterson
and a 1936 Pierce-Arrow. The fire truck is running and the rest are in "semi-running"
condition, he reported.
"Most of our members leave their modern
cars on the street and put their T's in the
garage," Goodman added. "The theory is, if
you have only one bed and your grandfather is
living with you, you give him the bed."
Such devotion is common among T addicts.
Reuben Barsamian of 5221 Cleveland, Skokie,
owner of a 1927 T coupe, has been spending
almost all of his spare time recently reup·
holstering the venerable vehicle's seats.
"They're beautiful," he says, "better than
the furniture we have at home."
Barsami1 n has had his T for two years and
it still has no roof or wheels, but he's spent
many a happy hour leading and soldering and
eventually hopes to have it completely restored.
"The only pleasure one gets from this hobby
is rebuilding," he said. "I know one man who
pa id $80 for men's suiting material to reup·
holster his seats to make his T look authentic,
like the old striped material."
Barsamian's big sorrow is the one that got
away. A 1917 fire truck was offered for sale
for 150. Before Barsamian could snap it up,
another man offered 135 for i"t and the owner
said. "We'll burn it first." And he did.
"I've known that truck since I was five years
old," Barsa~ian mourned. "I used to run after
it when I was a kid."
Joy of The Chase
Like any collector, the delight of the T
addict is to make a "find." Model T's aren't
as rare as most people think, Goodman says,
but they are in varying stages of disrepair and
and their value hinges on (a) their antiquity and
(b) their condition.
"You will find them stored in the most unlikely places,\' he stated, "usually in barns
and garages where people left them when they
stopped driving them and didn't find it economical to trade them in for new cars.
"As far as parts are concerned, there were
so many T's around that parts are very plentiful junk yards or even old-time Ford dealers can
supply most of them. The mechanical aspects of
the T changed ·very little from 1909, when the
first ones were made, to 1927, when they were
discontinued.
"They produced more than 15,000,000 of them

so there was a very big.market for parts. Many
small companies went into the business of
producing parts for them. Then, during the war,
thousands of these firms went into scrap metal,
but even at that, because of the auto shortage,
quite an inventory was maintained. 4fter the war,
parts were traded back and forth until they wound
up with 40 or 50 separate parts sources."
Custom Jody Parts
Several companies in the United States actually make body parts to order, Goodman reported.
The cost of the average unrestored T is anywhere from $5 to $500, depending on "its age,
condition and who has it,'' Goodman added.
"Those manufactured in the '20s have a fair
market value of from nothing to $1000," he said.
"The 1915-1919 models might sell for from
nothing to $150, and 1909-1915 for from nothing
to several hundred dollars.
"A good restored brass radiator 1909 to 1915
Ford in perfect condition would have a market
value of anywhere from $800 to $1,500, while
those with steel radiators are worth from $200
to $700 or $800. But the cost of putting them
in that condition is usually half again as much
as they would bring."
Expense of (estoring a T is directly related
to a man's abilities, Goodman stated. A very
good machinist or mechanic might spend $300 or
$400 to fix up a car, while another man could
spend $3,000 t'tl $4,000 ;nd come out with no
better a job, he said.
"If a man understands the operation of a
screwdriver, a ('air of pliers and a paint brush,
he can do a passable restoration job if the
automobile he starts u•ith is in running condition," Goodman declared. "That's the beauty
of the 'f - it was made to sell to the mass of
people who had never seen an automobile, and
it's a very simple piece of machinery.
"The average household toaster is probably

Niles Township members of the Model T Ford
Club include Edward Bayless, 9102 Kilpatrick,

Walter Huber, 8021 Keating, Skokie; Rodney K.

Verschoore, treasurer and a founding member
of the club's Midwest chapter, won the booby
prize on the outing to Milwaukee last year.
The report in the Model T Times stated he "was
in a class by himself with a broken gas line,
leaky radiator and broken fan belt."
This year's tour will feature obstacle races,
•coasting contests, slow-fast races. tire changing
and cranking contests, a teeter-totter contest
and - if you' 11 pardon the expression:- a toilet
paper race.
Many of these competitions are self-explanatory, but the slow-fast races have as their
objective taking as much time as possible to
travel from Point A to Point B, and as little
time as possible from B to C. The teeter-totter
is two track; like a grease rack, anchored in the
center. The object of the contest is to get a car
in perfect balance and hold it there.
"It sounds a lot easier than it is," Goodman
said.
The toilet paper race features two cars side
by side, each driver holding one end of a strip
of what the TV pitchmen call bathroom tissue.
They drive over a rough course, endeavoring
not to tear the paper.
"This can't be done very fast," Goodman
of his oldtime autos - a 1924 Ford coupe, left,

skill."

bling costumes suitable to the year of the family
T. Mr. and Mrs. Bayless won last year's costume
contest and plan to enter again this year.
Many of the women are quite active in club
activities. "I myself have gotten out and helped
sand down wheels,'' Mrs. Bay less said. ''Most
of the wives will help when there's an extra
hand needed; and of course we give a lot of
encouragement by mouth.''
The Baylesses own two T's - a '23 touring
car and a '27 coupe.
• 'My husband had had T's since he was able
to drive," Mrs. Bayless said, "and we just have
a ball. We're hoping to hold on to ours until
our son gets into high school - then he can start
out with a T instead of a hot rod."
The son is six years old.
A gaslight tour will be an evening highlight
of the Rockton fiesta. Most of the T's have gas
lights, and tour participants will have a police
escort for their nocturnal ramblings because, as
Goodman puts it, "there's more assurance that
way that we'll get home again."
Goodman's wife thinks his antique autos "are
kind of cute,'' he reported. He himself doesn't
find the task of restoring seven ancients to
shiny running order overwhelming - in fact, in
discussing it he exudes the same sort of anticipation as a gourmet studying the menu before
a delectable banquet.
"I'm 29 and I've got a long life ahead of me,
so I have plenty of time," Goodman says with
relish.
In this attitude, he echoes the sentiments of
his fellow club members, whose hobby suits
them to a "T."

When the first grade students
of Fairview School South decided to make a panorama of
Skokie, they were constantly
amazed at the many different
people and places involved in
the village.
Mrs.
Lee, their teacher,
helped the youngsters organize
their ideas.
In addition to the almost
authentic reproduction of
Skokie as they saw it, the
youngsters visited the fire and
police departments in order to
better understand the purposes
and function of these departments in the community.

• In this day and age of electronics and science,
our educators and students are more alerted to
the need for greater achievement in these fields.
When we think of students in connection with
science, we are apt to think in terms of those
young people on the high school or college level.
However, two eighth grade students completed
a project recently that would do credit to those
much older than they.
It all started when Miss Mildred E. Tess,
principal at the Edgebrook School, showed a
picture of a "matching board" to a group of
students and asked if anyone could duplicate
it.
A "matching board" is an electronic mathematical device that matches up correct answers
with problems.
by Sheryl Leonard
Two Volunteered
l
Two youths, Mark Hollinger and Duane Novak,
volunteered to see what they could do. A third
boy, Roger Matsckhe, offered his help.
The boys had no plans from which to work
when it came to wiring the inside of the board,
so they had to use their own ingenuity and
knowledge in putting in the proper circuits.
Duane's father supplied the material for the
cabinet and Mark's father came up with the
wirin{!. supplies.
After about a month of spending afternoons
after school on their project, their mission was
accomplished. The board they created had 80
division problems on it.
An alligator clip was applied to one of the
problems, with another clip touching the various
answers. When the correct answer was touched,
a bulb would light up.
Cost Only $7
of
h
Their whole venture cost them $7, and the
completed matching board was immediately put
to work in the fourth grade.
While this matching board handles only division problems suitable for third and fourth grade
students, it can be made for any qther type of
mathematics such as multiplication, subtraction
or addition, and can be keyed to any grade level.
When the boys demonstrated their board at a
PT A meeting, Mrs. Coffman of 6109 Landers
Ave. was so impressed she asked if they could
duplicate it for use at the Spaulding School for
Crippled Children.
That's when Mark and Duane went to work in
real earnest. Only this time they purchased what-
A close-up view of the wiring as it is attached to the batteries.
ever equipment they needed, and as a result,
ended up spending $11. Mrs. Coffman promised
to take care of all of their expenditures.
As with the first matching board, Duane made
the cabinet and both boys worked on the wiring.
Since they knew their new matching mathematical board was to be used by the Spaulding
School, they thought there might be a possibility
of it being used by blind students. Therefore,
in addition to the light on the board, they rigged
up a buzzer, so that when the correct solution
to a problem was touched, the buzzer would
sound.
Eighty Problems
The new matching board has 80 problems on
it which can be answered electronically.
Their teacher, Miss Lucille Carlson, asked
them to exhibit their project at the science fair
for grade and high school students held recently
in the .Museum of Natural History, where it drew
forth many favorable comments.
Mark Hollinger, 13½. 6305 Legett Ave., will
graduate from the Edgebroo~ School this June.
Duane Novak, 13, 6430 Leoti Ave., will graduate
next February.
Both boys are interested in electronics and
mechanics and plan on becoming mechanical
engineers.
The boys display the interior of the cabinet,
showing the intricate wiring which they completed
without benefit of any diagram.

FROM
SETTLEMENT
TO VILLAGE
by BERTHA M. ROSCHE
Chapter VI of Niles
Township History
Niles Center (Skokie) was incorporated in
1888, and so named because it then occupied
the center of Niles Township.
Its eastern limit was the Northwestern Railroad and its north boundary was Main Street.
Adam Harrer was elected president. Trustees
were Michael Harrer, Peter Blameuser Sr., Ivan
Paroubek, Fred Rose, Red Stielow, and Chri'>
Baumann.
The town hall was the present fire engine
house for the apparatus of the original volunteer
fire department organized May 6, 1881. The
upper floor was the meeting place of such organizations as the village had: the Catholic Order
of Foresters, the Plattdeusch. Guild, the German
Singing Club, and several lodges.
Morton Grove was incorporated Oct. 24, 1895.
George Harrer was its first president and served
as such for fourteen years.
The village was named after Levi Parsons
Morton, who was then governor of New York but
had been vice president of the United States the
previous term. The Americana Encyclopedia has
an imposing list of the great financial institutions he founded in the East. He had assisted
in floating the government war loans during the
Civil War, was a Republican member of Congress
one term, and was minister to France. His only
connection with the village seems to have been
his service on the board of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad which passes through
the town, and whose station became the nucleus
for its growth.
Niles Settlers
The village of Niles had had the earliest
settlers in the township; the Shadigers, Perrins,
Rulands, Ebingers, and John Ketchum. By 1884
it had two stores, two hotels, a drug store,
harness shop, two blacksmiths, three churches,
two schools, a doctor, and about 200 inhabitants.
Andreas, the Cook County historian of that time,
makes it 250 inhabitants and adds six saloons.
lncorporatf!d in 1902, it took the name "Niles"
from the township. Previously it had been known
as "Dutchman's Point." That name was not
official, but was in general use. The origin is
easily seen. It lay in a point of the North T3ranch
and its people were German. Until well after the
turn of the century Germans were quite commonly
known as "Dutchmen," probably from their own
name for themselves, "Deutsch." Perhaps the
disuse of the term begins from the first World
War.
At any rate the old name, "Dutchman's Point,"
stuck long after the new name had been adopted.
By the census of 1910 the place had 569 population, outstripping by just one its neighbor
town, Niles Center, which had 568.
TessvJlle (Lincolnwood) organized in 1911,
had 365 by the same census. It was named, as
has been mentioned, for Johann Tess, one of
the early pioneers. The first president was Frank
Meier, and his brother John was its first clerk.
As in its three companion villages, all its
earliest families had been German or Luxembourger, and the business was truck gardening
and flowers.
The outdoor market made Niles Center really
a center, not of Niles Township alone , but of
all the surrounding country. It reached _from the
intersection of Lincoln and Oakton to the fork
at St . Peter's Catholic church and around the
bend of old Market Street, which has rn recent
years been renamed Warren.
Market days were the first Tuesday and third
Thursday of each month . On those da ys farmers
arrived from miles around with their vegetables
and livestock, especially pigs and poultry .
Merchants from the city sold a great variety of
goods.
It was also a horse fair. Horses that had gone
lame on the cobbled pavements of Chicago were
brought to work out many more valuable years on
the soft soil of the fie Ids.
On those days the village was full of strangers .
Mingling with the crowd were Gypsies whose
�caravans camped at the edge of town and where
women told fortunes. Farmer, merchant, beggarman, thief : the las t two species being sufficiently
numerous to reriuire extra police protection.
Three Old Churches
A few random items gleaned from th ose who
remember, may well find their place in the story
a t this point.
The three old churches in the center of the
village uere the first north of the city- probably
north of Bowmanville. The land for St. Peter's
Catpolic church and its cemetery was donated
by Peter Blameuser Sr., as was also the land
fo r St. Peter's Evangelical and Reformed on
Oakton Street. He contr ibuted the bells for both
churches,- those in the Catholic church were
named for him and his wife, "Peter" & " Clara."
He offe red the land for St. Paul's on Carpenter
Road, but Mr. Rohr's donation of a site had already been accepted.
Ferdinand Baumann was the keeper of the
railroad gates a t Niles Center Road. They were
raised and lowered for trains by pumping. In his
spare t ime he laid out a miniature park fifty feet
sriuare wi th little wa !ks, and fashioned a zoo
fo r it fr om odd -s haped slag picked up from the
cracks .
Ice cream was fi rs t in trod uced here a t a picnic
abou t 1882. A la rge dishful cou ld be bough t for
three cents. La ter it was peddled from a wago n
on Sunday afte rn oons. You ran out with your
dish and it was ladled out fo r you at a penny a
se rving.
The re was a pi cnic ground all the way from
Ha rm's s t ore a t L in coln a nd Oakton to the south
end of the block . A picture of this area is one
of those on th e wall of Skokie's Firs t Na t iona l

Bank.
An eventful occasion came to Morton Grove in
the summer of 1897. The three -day conve nt ion
of the Plattdeutsch (German middle class) Guild
was held on August sixth to eighth in St. Paul's
Park nea r the railroad stat ion. It attracted first
and second genera tion Germans from the entire
Chicago northern area .

of the thousands of German people, young and

grounds.
They came, it says, by eve ry means of travel,

and owned by George C. Kiehm, it was a tract
of land bordering on the North Branch, whi<>h

The reporter wa-xed poetic as he pictured the
joy of drifting downstream between banks so

BLUEBEARD?
HENRY VIII?
HERE'S THE
JACK THE RIPPER?
TERRIBLE MR. BANG?
REAL
MARTY
FAYE
by TOM BRANAGAN
Editor and Publisher Tom Branagan, interviewed last week on Marty's Morgue, ll'f3KB
television show, gives his impressions of the
program's star, Marty Faye.
✓
The voice is shrill and the face is sharp and
the eyes are mocking. He bullies and he goads
and he sneers.
This, you say to yourself, is Marty Faye proprietor of Marty's Morgue, WBKB-TV' s latenight show and by reputation a vain and irascible
man with a vicious temper and a tongue to match.
And this is the man who, in a few minutes,
will be interviewing you. You have no excuses you wanted the interview to publicize your
paper. But you dread it all the same.
You throw back your shoulders and stick your
chin out and you try to swagger a little. "I'm a
brave man, " you tell yourself. "If he starts
cutting me up I'll slash him to shreds."
But you don't really believe it - anymore than
you believed you could lick the big kid down the
block 25 years before. You told yourself you
could handle the bully then, but when the showdown came, you ran.
If you had the chance now, you'd run again.
But it's too late. The friend you took along for
support becomes a sort-of warden. Run, and
everybody knows you're yellow.
So here you are, a lamb leading itself to the
slaughter. Lamb? A lamb would have sense
enough to flee.
You? You're a great big bowl of mashed
potatoes, ready to be served.
Mr. Mashed Potatoes, accompanied by a friend
he hates mightily at the moment, walks into the
dining room - onto the sound stage, rather.
It is a large room, bare in the middle, but
along its sides are several sets - a kitchen, a
workroom, a conference room and, finally, the
lair of Mr. Faye. This consists of a large, plain
desk with three chairs behind it and several
television cameras in front of it.
A small man with thinning hair and a large
mouth is seated at the desk. He is wearing a
rich dark suit and a white silk tie. You recognize
him:
Henry VIII, Terrible Tempered Mr. Bang, Bluebeard, The Man Who Came To Dinner, Jack the
Ripper and The Original Guy Who Pulls Wings
Off Flies.
For this is Marty Faye. There is a plate on
the desk which says, Marty Faye. It means much
more than it says: It means, and you recite a
sort-of litany to yourself: tormentor of the slowwitted, belittler of the weak-at-heart, sneerer at
the dull, beleaguerer of the fumblers ... Oh,
Lord, from this wasp of a man, Deliver Us.
So Mashed Potatoes - poor old slow-witted,
weakhearted, dull, fumbling Mashed Potatoes ambles to the desk and blurts:
"I'm Bran Tomagan. ''
The man smiles - somewhat sweetly, you
notice. But his eyes indeed are mocking.
He has a copy of your pride and joy, the
Villager. He slaps it: "Excellent paper," he
says. "I like it." You feel like genuflecting.
"This girl here," the sharp-eyed man continues, pointing to a picture of Society Editor
Sheryl Leonard. "Why is she winking?"
''To get over the between-us-girls idea,'' you
say. And you add, with some pride: "It was my
suggestion . "
He smiles, but not sweetly this time. "Why
don't you stop suggesting?" he says. He
searches your face for reaction. Then he smiles sweetly again.
You feel yourself redden as he turns away.
You turn yourself and find a seat back in the
studio. A man you remember as a Tribune
reporter, Les Moneypenny, now one of the
exalted TV clan, smiles sympathetically. "It'll
be all right," he says. He talks of old times,
old stories, but you don't really hear him. You're
thinking: 11 Faye wants me with gravy."
The program starts, but you're not on immediately. You sit through a Faye interview with a
22-year-old school teacher who is going to
Kilimanjaro. You think that's not a bad idea for
yourself - right now.
Then a man with earphones who has been
standing beside the cameras turns: ''Mr.
Branagan?"
Numb, you walk to the desk and seat yourself
beside Marty Faye. He turns.
"You're nervous. But just relax. You're the
better looking of the two of us. You have all
your hair and all your teeth. (turning to the
cameras) This is a guy that's got a lot of guts.
He's editor and publisher of the Villager."
And then Marty Faye describes you and your
paper in such glowing terms that it almost
shocks you. More, he leads you through a
description of its founding, its ideals, its goals.
He doesn't goad, or sneer, or belittle. He
prompts you, almost gently, into putting yourself and your firends - and your paper - in the
most favorable light.
And in the end, he has the words tumbling
out of your mouth. You are at ease - so much so
that, afterwards, you feel you've been somewhat
pompous.
And soon - too soon, you think - he is shaking
your hand and loading you down with cuff links
and smoked fish and salami and saying, "If I
can ever do anything to help, please let me
know.''
And you walk out of the place, ashamed of
yourself for all the fears and suspicions and
prejudices you had about the man.
The voice is shrill and the face is sharp and
the eyes are mocking. He can bully and he can
sneer.
But Marty Faye ... the real Marty Faye ... 1s
soft as ... well, as mashed potatoes.
Apprehensive Villager editor, Tom Branagan, eyes interviewer
Marty Faye warily as program opens last Wednesday night on
WBKB television show, Marty's Morgue.
Warming up, Branagan smiles at one of Faye's quips. Faye's
Girl Friday, Peggy Winslow, is at right.
Completely charmed by reputedly waspish entertainer, editor
laughs heartily as entertainer good naturedly complains about
a reference to him in earlier Villager.
"Pip, pip and tinkertytonk, old chap," lJranagan appears to be
saying after enjoyable 25-minute appearance on Faye's show.

MARTY'S STORY:
'ALWAYS A
PITCHMAN'
Marty Faye, brother of cafe singer Frances
Faye and cousin of comedian Danny Kaye, has
spent the better part of his 37 years as a pitchman.
He's "hawked" everything fro~ vegetable
slicers to patent medicines and plastic towels,
and in such locations as New York's Fifth
Avenue, Atlantic City's Boardwalk, and county
and state fairs not only all through America,
but in Australia and New Zealand as well.
With the advent of television, Faye, for the
most part, gave up his in-person, on-the-spot
huskstering, and turned his not inconsequential
talents to the new electronic medium.
His subsequent rise as a television and radio
pitchman has gained him a certain success,
notoriety and "Marty's Morgue," his first
"legitimate" television show which is seen
Sunday through Friday nights at 11: 30 over
WBKB.
Marty Faye was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. on
October 21, 1921. He's a graduate of the Samuel
J. Tilden High School in Brooklyn, and he spent
two years at Brooklyn's St. John's University
studying law.
Chicken-Plucker
At the age of 14, he spent his summer vacation working in a Catskill Mountain hotel as
a chicken-plucker (no kidding!). Subsequent
summer vacations were spent working as a bellhop, a bus-boy, a "hawker" of kitchen gadgets
in a Fifth A venue dime store, and a taker of
blood pressures on Atlantic City's Boardwalk.
For this service he charged 25¢, wore a white
coat and was addressed as "Doctor." He was
17 years old at the time.
After quitting college, he went on the road
selling "anything I could lay my hand on,"
covering the county and state fair circuits and
the nation's home and auto shows. For seven
months in 1940 he performed the same "services"
throughout Australia and New Zealand.
With war threatening, Faye returned to America,
and with the outbreak of war he entered the U.S.
Army, working his way ,up to platoon sergeant
in the infan try. The war ended and Faye was
discharged March 31, 1946.
He then returned to New York City where he
developed his own line of vegetable slicers and
plastic towels, which he sold himself, both on
television and in department stores.
Alice Mendera, 16, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Mendera.
5032 Harvard Ter., Skokie, won
her scholarship to the Egyptian
Music Camp in DuQuoin, Ill.
She has studied the flute for
three years under the direction
of L. Provost, band director at
Niles Township High School
where Alice is in her sophomore
year. She plays first chair
flute and piccolo with the
Nilehi band anrl orchestra. She
intends to participate with the
Northwestern University band
and orchestra summer program.
Faye now lives quietly with his wife Vivian,
whom he married in 1944, and their five-year-old
daughter, Sydney Fran. "My huckstering days
are behind me now," Marty explains . "I'm
certainly not ashamed of them - they were good
years. But they were hard years, too. I'll now
just concentrate my energies on a nice, relaxing
show like Marty's Morgue. After all, I'm not a
kid anymore - that is, if I ever was."
Linda Noyle, 15, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Leonard E. Noyle,
7046 Beckwith Rd., Morton
Grove, will be attending
Egyptian Music Camp as her
scholarship award. Linda has
played the piano for six years,
studying with Miss Katherine
Rech/in and Lionel Lile. She
played for the graduation at
Golf School, a fashion show,
and a formal banquet of the
Order of the Eastern Star . She
also plays viola in the Niles
Township High School concert
orchestra.

Started TV Career Here
Io February of 1952, he came to Chicago,
where he became a television pitchman for
hundreds of products on all of Chicago's TV
stations. A year later he became a disk jockey
for Chicago radio station WAAF, spending approximately 36 hours a week on the air. And
Faye has had programs on that station continuously ever since.
While with WAAF, he developed a recorded
radio interview show which he dubbed "Marty's
Morgue" and which is still carried in Kansas
City, Indianapolis and Los Angeles.
In March of 1957, Faye brought '"Marty's
Morgue" to WBKB as a late evening television
program - and the rest, perhaps, is history.
Gail Sullivan, 17, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sullivan,
6014 Grove Ct ., Morton Grove,
won her scholarship to Allerton
Art Camp. She is a junior at
Niles Township High School
and feels a great deal of her
art work came from Thomas

her drawing at home, and hopes
some day to attend Stevens
College and major in fashion
illustration. Gail feels going
to Allerton will give her a
better art background.

A business office can operate without women but not very well. The male employes of Allstate Insurance Company's home office and
Chicago regional office in Skokie found this out
recently when the women employes took an afternoon off for a company outing at the Villa Venice.
Left alone to operate the office, the men conducted their routine business operations and, in
addition, attempted to fill in on duties normally
handled by the weaker sex. Male em p 1 o yes
manned the telephone switchboards, reception
desks, business machines and typewriters, discovering that they could handle these functions
if necessary, but not with the dispatch, efficiency and charm of their feminine co-workers.
With more than a touch of ham, several of the
Allstate men demonstrate for the camera the
problems they encountered the day the girls
went away.
Allstate employes Ralph Jackson and John Swanke watch wistfully as Allstate's feminine employes leave for an afternoon's

The Skokie Civic Theatre
has been invited to do a play
at Northwestern University,
employing radically different
stage techniques.
The invitation for the Aug. 5
drama was extended by Prof.
Robert S. Breen of the NU
faculty.
The new technique,developed
by Breen, is called "chamber
theatre." Its purpose is to
stage novels and. short stories
without destroying the author's
narrative. Thus, a story can be
told and acted at the same time.
Mildred Wiseblatt of the
Skokie theatre group gives this
explanation:
''In a play only the characters
are able to communicate. If
the playwright wishes to
expound a thesis, he must do

Hazards that Fires Create
Fire inspector Francis "Pat"
Seul of Skokie warns that,

AND THEN THERE WAS NONE.
Mc Creary Harassed?
"Frank MeCreary is a tall, thin chap who's not afraid to
get his hands greasy repairing one of his buses."
That's the assessment of a Chicago reporter who has
come to know the president of the American Coach Co.
througH a long series of court and Illinois Commerce Commission hearings·. Somehow the word picture appeals to us:
we like guys who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty.
McCreary is an expert in the art of "cliff hanging." That
is, his many business ventures, particularly in the transportation field, have been fraught with harrowing episodes
which, s0mehow, he has managed to come through. He has
been in and out of so many re-organizations, receiverships,
court ap_pearances, ICC hearings and "critical" conferences
with lawyers that his present trouble with the commerce
commission seems just one of a long series of crises. The
commission ordered him to get out of business on July 15.
McCreary was not responsible for all of the crises he's
figured in. As a matter of fact, the .American Coach company
mixup is one of the few failures that can be blamed directly
on McCreary.
But is it a failure? Or, if so, can McCreary b,e blamed for
it?
The ICC cited a long list of grievances against American
Coach in its "quit" order last wee~. Included were: failure
to comply with safety regulations, shoddy bookkeeping
methods, <;:hanging routes without approval, unauthorized
switching of license plates and trading buses with other
outfits without an ICC okay.
The commission never before on its own initiative had
yanked the operating certificate or license of a company
trying to stay in business.
This gives us a little ground for conjecture. We know
how the ICC operates, and we know that any n'umber of
other bus companies have been in water just as hot, if not
hotter, without meriting such firm disciplinary measures.
Why is American Coach being put on the spot?
We don't quite understand this. McCreary points out that
his firm is "in better shape than ever before." He says:
"The company is giving the finest service in its history
now. We bought four new GM buses in December and we
have a new shop foreman. We don't have complaints from
our customers on service anymore.''
It would seem that McCreary has made an honest effort
to improve his service and equipment. Buying four new
buses was not easy for a firm that has had financing trouble
ever since its inception.
McCreary says he has not made any money to speak of
on the line. "We haven't paused to make a lot of profit,"
he says. "We've put the money back into the business."
Yet the ICC says: "It is an obvious reflection upon the
efficiency of the management that in the face of a gain in
gross revenues from $278,000 in 1950 to $473,253 in 1955,
the company was not able to provide regular replacement of
operating equipment and comply with -safety standards set
by law and the rules and regulations of this commission."
McCreary's purchase of four 51-passenger buses seems
to contradict this view.
And what about this safety angle? We know of no serious
accidents the firm has had. We suppose some ·A merican
Coach vehicles are old and decrepit,, but so are some of
those of many, many other lines. The real test is: has this
condition led to passengers being killed or seriously injured? American Coach's record stands up in tnis respect.
As to the rest of the ICC complaints, they seem of a
petty nature. If you're struggling to keep your head above
water, you 'don't care whether you're showing admirable
swimming form. Similarly, a man trying to keep a floundering
bus company operating understandably may not concern
himself with the niceties of procedures - such as asking
the _ICC for approval about license plate switching or the
tradrng of worn-out buses. These are expedients that may
or. may not meet ICC standards, but they keep the line
gorng.
At any rate, the whole ICC order doesn't make sense to
us. If that august body is going to put American Coach out
of ?usines~, what is going to replace it as a needed transpor·
tation service'?
You can bet your life · the political implications of stopping bus service to the Niles Township area are such that
the ICC will '?-ever permit it. What does this mean? The only
thing we can think of is that there has to be some company
standing in the wings, ready to take over.
We weren't able to run down such a firm, we'll admitbut that's not surprising. We have been in the news business
long enough not to expect the truth to be laid at our feet
every time we ask for it.
Such a firm, if indeed there is one, is going to take over
on its own terms. This means, as Trustee Sylvester Reese
of the Skokie board points out, that only the real moneymaking routes American Coach ha~ been maintaining will
be acceptable to this new company. The money-losers,
which American Coach took in a "package" deal worked
out with officials of the various villages, will be discontinued.
Reese, incidentally, is convinced that McCreary is trying
to do the best job possible.
"McCreary has cooperated excellently with Skokie,"
says Reese. "There are many firms who are interested in
the lucrative routes out here, but none is interested in the
whole transportation problem we have. McCreary tried to
consider the whole picture, tried to do a real service for
the community.
"He took over American Coach in. 1948 when it was
bankrupt and got it on its feet. His basic trouble always
has been equipment. And, like anyone else, he's had trouble
with employes - having to pay more and more to drivers,
etc., under threat bf strikes. Also, he's had to pay a lot of
money to the ICC itself for auditing work.
"Through all of this, he's been under constant pressure
by the ICC while he's been trying to build.
"I personally am convinced he's trying to do a good job,
and I think his 6,000 commuters out here are, too."
The ICC made its case with a flurry of headlines last
week. This is an attempt to give the other side of it.
McCreary is a hard worker who has given Niles Township
needed bus service over a period of ten trying years - overcoming numerous obstacles to do it. For this, at least, he
deserves credit.
And if no other company comes forward to provide this
service -and we mean the same service, the money-losing
routes along with the lucrative ones - we hope McCreary
wins his battle to stay in business here.

PART 2 of First Discourse by Corna1·0
I SAY THEN, THAT THE DIRE INFIRMiTIES FROM WHICH I CONSTANTLY SUFFERED, and which had
not only invaded my system, but had
gained such headway as to have become most serious, were the cause of
my renouncing the errors of intemperance to which I had been very much
ad~A~t~tcesses of my past life, together
with my bad constitution, had caused
me to fall a prey to various ailments,
such as pains in the stomach, frequent
pa,ns m tne s ide , symptoms of gout,
and, still worse, a low fever that was
almost continuous; but I suffered especially from disorder of the stomach,
and from an unquenchable thirst. This
evil, nay, worse than evil, condition
left me nothing to hope for myself,
except that death should terminate my
trouble and tne weariness of my life
. . . a life as yet far removed from
its natural end, though brought near
to a close by my wrong manner of livin;,HAT REMEDY WAS THE TEMPERATE
AND
ORDERLY
LIFE,
WHICH, THEY ASSURED ME, possessed as great strength and efficacy
for the accomplishment of good results, as that other, which was completely its opposite in every way, I
mean an intemperate and disorderly
life, possessed for doing harm . And of
the power of these two opposite manners of living I should entertain no
doubt; botn by reason of the fact that
my infirmities had been caused by disorder, though, indeed, I was not yet
reduced to such extremity tnat I mignt
not be wholly freed from them by the
temperate life, which counteracts the
effects of an intemperate one , and because it is obvious tnat this regular
and orderly life preserves in health
even persons of feeble constitution
and decrepit age, as Jong as they observe it. It is equally manifest that
the opposite life, an irregular and dis·
orderly one, has the power to ruin,
while in the strength of early manhood,
the constitutions of men endowed with
robustness, and to keep them sick for
a great length of time. All this is in accordance with the natural Jaw which
ordains that contrary ways of living
must necessarily produce contrary effects . Art itself, imitating in this the
processes of nature, will gradually correct .natural defects and imperfections,
a principle we find clearly exemplified
in agriculture and similar things.
MY PHYSICIANS WARNED ME, IN
CONCLUSION, THAT IF I NEGLECTED TO APPLY THIS REMEDY
in short time it would be too late to
derive any benefit from it; for, in a
few months, I should certainly die.
I , WHO WAS VERY SAD AT THE
THOUGHT OF DYING AT SO EARLY
AN AGE AND YET WAS continually
tormented by s 'ckness, having heard
these good and plausible reasons, grew
thoroughly convinced that from order
and from disorder must of necessity
proceed the ccntrary effects which I
have mentioned; and, fired with hope,
I resolved that, in order to escape death.
and, at the same time, to be delivered
from my sufferings, I would embrace
the orderly life .
AFTER I HAD ONCE TAKEN A FIRM
RESOLUTION
THAT
I
WOULD
HENCEFORTH LIVE TEMPERATELY
and rationally, and had realized, as I
did, that to do so was not only an easy
matter, but, indeed, the duty of every
human, I entered upon my new course
so heartily that I never afterward
swerved from it, nor ever committed
the slightest excess in any direction.
Within a few days I began to realize
that this new life suited my health excellently; and, persevering in it, in less
than a year . . . though the fact may
seem incredible to some . . . I found
myself entirely cured of all my complaints .
NOW THAT I WAS IN PERFECT
HEALTH, I BEGAN TO CONSIDER
SERIOUSLY THE POWER and the virtue of order; ana I said to myself that,
as it had been able to overcome so
many and such g,·eat ills a s mine , •it
would surely be even m6re efficacious
to preserve me in health, to assist my
unfortunate
constitution,
and
to
strengthen my extremely weak stomach .
ACCORDINGLY, I BEGAN TO OBSERVE VERY DILIGENTLY WHAT
KINDS OF FOODS AGREED with me.
I determined, in the first place, to
experiment with those which were most
agreeable to. my palate, in order that
I might learn if they were suited to my
stomach and co11~t1tution . The proverb
. . . "WHATEVER TASTES GOOD
WILL NOURISH AND STRENGTHEN"
is generally regarded as embodying
a truth, and is invoked, as a first principle, by those who are sensually inclined. In it I had hitherto firmly believed; but now I was resolved to test
the matter, and find to what extent, if
anv, it was true .
MY
EXPERIENCE ,
HOWEVER,
PROVED THIS SAYING TO BE
FALSE. FOR instance, dry and very
cold wine was agreeable to my taste;
as were also melons; and, among other
garden produce, raw salads; also, fish,
pork, tarts, vegetable soups, pastries,
and other similiar articles. All of these,
I say, were suited to my taste exnctly,
and vet I found they were hurtful to
me . Thus having, by my own experience, proved the proverb in question
to be erroneous, I ever after looked
upon it as such, and gave up the use
of that kind of food and of that kind of
wine, as well as cold drinking. In-
THE VILLAGER
stead, I chose only such wines as
agreed with my stomach, takinc of
tut,m only such a quanuty as I Knew it
could easily digest; and I observed the
same rule with regard to my food,
exercising care both as to the quanllty and the quality. In this manner, I
accustomed myself to the habit of never
fully satisfying my appetite, whether
witn eating or dnnking . . . always
leaving the table well able to take
more . In this I acted accordinc to the
proverb: ''.Not to sauate one 's self with
food is the science of health." (Galen
A.D. 130)
BEING THUS RID, FOR THE REASONS ANO IN THE MANNER I HAVE
G1VEN, UF lN'l.t,;MPJ,;HANCl,; ana disorder, I devoted myself entirely to the
sober and regular hfe. This had such a
beneficial ettect upon me that, in Jess
than a year as I nave just said, I was
enure1y treed from aJI the ills which
had been so deeply rooted in my system as to have become almost incurable. Another excellent result which
this new life effected in me was that I
no longer tell sick every year, as I
had always previously done while following my former sensual manner of
life. Ln a word . . . I grew most
healthy; and I have remained so from
tnat time to this day, and for no other
reason than that of my constant fidelity
to the orderly life. The unbounded virtue of this is, that that which I eat and
drink, always bemg such as agrees with
my constitution and in quality . . . and
quant,ly as ,t shuula be, atter it nas
imparted its invigorating elements to
my body, leaves it without any difficulty and without ever generating
witmn it any bad humors. Whence, followmg this rule, as I have said, I am
now, tnanK <.,od . . . most nealtny I
GALEN, THE FAMOUS PHYSICIAN,
BORE TESTIMONY TO THIS TRUTH
LONG BEFORE MY time. He asserts
that all other disorders caused him
but very little harm, because he had
Jearnea to guara agamst tnose of excess1vi; eating and drmkmg; and that,
tor this reason, he was never indisposed for more than a day. I have always been very careful to guard against
neat and cold, as well as exlreme
fatigue or excesses of any nature; I
have never allowed my accustomed sleep
and rest to be interfered with; I have
avoided remaming tor any length of
time in places poorly ventilated; and
have been careful not to expose myself
too much to wind or the sun; for these
things, too, are great disorders. I have
also preserved myself, from those other
disorders from which it is more difficult to be exempt; I mean melancholy,
hatred, and the other passions of the
scu1, wh1cn all appear greatly to affect
the body and the mind . The bodies of
those who live irregularly are always
full of the humor of melancholy which
so embitters tne1r Jives and grows upon
them to such a degree that it brings
them to their graves . before their time.
And any intelligent man, by a dint of
experimenting, can acquire a perfect
knowledge of his own constitution and
of its most hidden qualities and find
out what food and what drink and what
quantities of each will agree with his
stomach. It ls impossible to have
equ_ lly accurate knowledce without exa
per1IT1ent.
GALEN, THE GREAT PHYSICIAN
PLATO, CICERO, SOCRATES AND
MANY OTHER FAMOUS men in times
past, cnose to follow the temperate life
and always to thelr own considerable
advantage . . As Cicero said, the only
diff1<,:ulty, 1f a~y there be, consists in
making _a begmning . . . for a temperate hfe.
THE UNIVERSAL RULE IS THAT
THEY WHO WISH NOT ONLY CONSTANTLY
TO
ENJOY
PERFECT
health and_ to attain their full limit of
life, but finally to pass away without
~am or d1ff1cu1ty and of mere exhaustion of the radical moisture must lead
the, temperate life; for upon this cond1hon and no other will they enjoy the
fruits of such a life, fruits almost innumerable, and each one to be infinitely prized. For as sobriety keeps the
humors of the body pure and mild so
llk. w1se, does it prevent fumes f~om
e
ar,smg fro~ the stomach to the head ;
and the bram of him who lives in this
manner Is, as a re_

The Villager and its mailing department were
pleased to be able to land a helping hand on
Mother's Day to a young lady who wanted to buy
her mother something special. We're flattered
that she considered us special.
Anyway, for a full year - and longer, we
hope - one copy of the Villager will go out
addressed as follows:
''With Love to Mother Sebby
4516 Concord Lane
Skokie, Ill."
It's a charming idea, and we congratulate the
young lady on her originality.

UKE LOTS OF PICTURES?
We promised our readers
when we launched the Villager
that there would be a large
number of photographs, reproduced through the finest

We don't thinkwe have gone
back on our word . In this issue
alone there a'l:e 78 photo reproductions. Count 'em. We
have gone as high as 91. Compare this number with, say, the
total used in a national mag•
azine like Life. You'll find
we're not far behind, if at all.
Our offset process makes
these pictures easy on the
eyes: no searching in muddy
areas for faces, no wondering
what g,photo represents.

Add interesting occupatjons: Our esteemed
and attractive friend, blond Lynn Hanson, is a
turtle sitter. Neighbors left her in charge, for
three days, of what probably is the most pampered turtle in existence (outside of Churchy
La Femme, of Pogo and Okefenokee Swamp
fame). This silver-dollar-sized sybarite bas his
own plastic home with pebbled patio, plastic
palm tree, and two rooms - - one for dozing and
another for eating. And he's not allowed to eat
in the living room. Lynn must prepare his meal
(bug juice, she says) and float it in warm water;
then she picks him up, washes him off, and
places him in the water where the food is
floating. He gulps it up • - but. he must stay
there for 40 minutes, no more, no less. Then she
has to pick him out, wash any food particles
from his shell, dry him, and tuck him back in
his dry living room. No color TV, though, from
what we understand.

Wolters Appointed Captain
In Skokie Fire Department
Carl Wolters was made a
fire captain at a swearing-in
ceremony Monday night at which
three other Skokie firemen also
were raised in rank - to lieutenant. Those gaining his old
rank were Russell Van, Joseph
Garcia and Bernard Mohrbacker.
Wolters and the new officers
were sworn in by Ed Lynskey,
chairman of the Skokie police
and fire commission, in the
judicial chambers of the village
police building.
Lynskey said he was pleased
to be able to advance the four
men because each had served
"diligently
and faithfully"
through a number of years with
the fire department.
To qualify, each had passed
stiff written examinations a
few weeks ago.
The raise in rank for Wolters
and the commissioning of the
other three fireman followed
recent approval by the Skokie
board of a proposal by Fire
Chief Edward Steek.
The chief maintained he needed the additional rank so that
Skokie' s two fire stations would

charge at all times.

PICNIC
Martin "Scotty" Krier, Niles
Township
Democratic committeeman, announced today
that the organization's annual
picnic will be h_eld on Aug. 9
at the Luxembourg Gardens.
The Niles Township High
School board Monday night met
with a raise-seeking teachers'
committee and promised to
consider a request for more
pay .
The open meeting in the
high school assembly room was
well attended by interested
faculty members and other
citizens.
The teachers, sparked by
Joseph Cech, and assisted by
Carl Burgner and Earl Hoff,
produced the opening issue of
the Villager among documents
they used to support their demands. The issue, dated April
17, contained a comprehensive
run-down on the Niles Township economic picture and was
entitled, '' Prosperity Continues
in Niles Township."
The conclusion of the article:
There are few signs of recession here and those that
are apparent are outweighed by
the many h e a l thy signs of
prosperity, such as millions
of dollars going into new plant
construction, the hiring of
thousands of additional workers
to fill these plants, and the
generally high level of sales
in the area.
A non-teacher in the audience
questioned the Villager's con-
clusions. He said he didn't
mean to "slam" the publication
but maintained that a number
or retail stores were in trouble.
This was quickly disputed
by a teacher in the crowd, Jack
Lain, who said that figures he
obtained on sales tax receipts
and from the Skokie Valley
Industrial Assn. bore out the
Villager conclusion.
The teachers' committee,
consisting of members of the
American Federation of
feachers, AFL-CIO, is seeking
a $100 across-the-board yearly
pay increase, with $50 additional for each experience
increment. Present pay scales
range from $4,800 to beginning
teachers with bachelors'
degrees to $7,000 for 12 years'
experience , with a bachelors'
degree, and $7,500 for 13 years
experience, with a masters'
degree. Eighty-two of the 140
teachers at Niles High School
are members of the American
Federation of Teachers.
The teachers privately say they
are leaning heavily on the argument
that the tax-rate increase recently
voted the school district in a referendum was designed to enable
the school boord to 1J0Y higher
salaries.
Bow.ling Alley Decision
Postpo ned to Saturd ay
The Skokie Board of Trustees
Tuesday night put off until Saturday a decision on whether to
permit the erection of a bowling
alley near the intersection of
Gross Point Rd. and Skokie
Blvd.
The trustees heard arguments
for and against the proposed
establishment at a jampacked
meeting.
The property, northwest of
the intersection, was mistakenly
zoned B-2, permitting a bowling
alley, when the village's new
zoning map was adopted by
ordinance in 1957. Later, the
planning commission and the
village board returned it to B-1
cla'ssification, which forbids
bowling alleys.
The Exchange National Bank
of Chicago, which owns the
property, argued th.is was an
arbitrary change in zoning.
Members of property owners'
organizations, mm1sters and
school officials were on hand
Tuesday night to speak in opposition to the proposed alley.
Ben Yoshioka, president of
Sharp Corners school district
68, pointed out that the estab•
lishment would be close to the
school and added:
"We feel that a bowling alley
does not belong in the immediate
environment. The best-intentioned owners could not keep
out .impressionable teenagers."
He sa.id the alley would
present a danger to the "moral
fibre" of thousands of present
and future students.
Yoshioka was backed by
Wesley Gibbs, superintendent
of the school, who described
bowling alleys as a "spawning
place for delinquency." The
Rev. Sauer of St.
Peter's
Catholic Church and the Rev.
Simpson, a Baptist minister,
also spoke against the alley.
Benjamin Ordower, representing the bank, said the alley
would be "closely supervised''.
Trustee Fred Wakefield reported that he had not had an
opportunity to inspect the property. He moved that a decision
be delayed until he had a chance
to look .it over. Other members
of the board assented.

Township Board
Prepares Referendum
Two proposals to appear on
a separate ballot at the June
2 judicial election were voted
upon Monday night, May 19,
by members of the Niles Township Board.
The tentative wording of the
advisory referendum 1s as
follows:
Proposal 1: A Niles Towns h i p Me m or i a I H a 11 to
the township
incorporate
offices, welfare and charitable
activities, rehabilitation
center, plus a sheltered workshop for the handicapped and
aged.
Proposal 2: A Niles Township Memorial Hall to
the township
incorporate
offices, welfare and charitable
act1v1t1es, plus a fine arts
division providing facilities
for cultural advancement.
Voters will be asked to vote
for one of these proposals.
Funds for the establishment
of the memorial hall will come
from the surplus accumulated
from 2% of the taxes collected
by the Township Collector.
This amount is now approximately $385,000.
The stipulation in using
these funds is that it must
benefit the entire township.
An effort was made by Rev.
Frederick Gratiot of Skokie to
have the referendum contain a
proposal to use these funds
for the Skokie Valley Hospital
which is in the process of
being organized.
board members
However,
said state statutes forbid the
use of these funds for such a
purpose since the hospital is
not as yet in existence and
such funds could only be available for maintenance and not
the erection of a hospital. It
was further pointed out. that
township funds could only go
to an existing hospital controlled by the Township Board,
and not by any individual group,
and that the hospital must
benefit the entire township
area.
Legally, the only way such
a hospital could receive funds

for its erection and establishment would be to vote
a separate bond issue and a
tax levy to support the bond
issue, the board said.
Village prosecutor Marvin
Glink, Mrs. Julia Molloy, and
Rabbi Karl Weiner helped prepare the wording of the proposal
as it will appear on the ballot.

Searle Parkway Issue Goes
To Commerce Commission
The question of whether to
reopen Skokie's Searle parkway
grade crossing - closed for the
last 15 years - is now up to
the Illinois Commerce Commission to decide.
ICC Examiner Francis Cody
will submit a report of the
hearings to the full commission
for a ruling.
Skokie' s
petition seeking
permission to reopen the crossing was filed with the ICC on
Nov. 1, 1957. The Chicago
North Shore &· Milwaukee and
the Chicago & North Western
railroad tracks span the crossing.
At the final hearing R.L.
Bush, a North Western engineer,
said the cost of installing
flashing light signals, gates,
and a gum wood crossing would
amount to $41,893. The railroad shouldn't have to share
in this cost, he added.
Bush said that if the ICC
orders the crossing reopened
Skokie should pay the cost of
protection.
The North Western railroad
lost $2,248,546 during the first
three months of this year compared to $658,782 during the
same period in 1957, Bush said.
If the crossing were reopened
cars waiting for a green light
at Cicero avenue an<l Searle
parkway would be backed up
across the grade crossing,
Bush said.
Harold Mason, the North
Shore line's superintendent of
ways, said it would cost.$30,453
to install gates and flashing
lights at the crossing. He
agreed with Bush that the cost
should be borne by Skokie.
Mason said the North Shore
line lost $442,000 during a 12month period ending last March
31.
Eighty-seven trains pass the
Searle parkway crossing Monday through Friday, 70 pass
the crossing on Saturdays, and
56 trains pass the crossing on
Sundays and holidays, Mason
said.
The trains, almost all passenger, travel at 45 miles per
hour at this spot, he added.
William Hennessy, Skokie
village attorney, has said that
the crossing should be reopened
to relieve traffic congestion
in the fast growing community.
He said the area around the
closed crossing has become
completely developed commercially and residentially in
recent years. Hennessy asked
that the two railroads pay the
cost of installing protective
devices.

Tommy Lee Krier, a future
president of the United States,
arrived at St. Francis Hospital,
Evanston, Tuesday morning,
May 13.
Knowing a president must
be physically fit, To=y Lee
passed his "howling" exams
and weighed in at a lusty 7
pounds, 3 ounces.
His parents and campaign
managers are Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Krier, 5226 Palma Pl.,
Skokie. The new arrival is
planning places in his cabinet
for his brothers, Scotty, 4, and
Rickie, 1.
Maternal grandparents are
Mr. and Mrs. C.L. Hogan,
5201 Simpson St., Skokie.
With such paternal grandparents as Mr. and Mrs. Scotty
Krier, 5318 Mulford St., Skokie,
young Tommy Lee's political
success is assured.
Melzer School
Goes French
Melzer School had the air of
Paris in the Spring, on San~rday, May 17. The PTA, under
the leadership of ways and
means co-chairmen Adele Scott
Solomon and Zelda Katz, spon·
sored

Boutique.
Mrs.
Lloyd Miller, Mrs.
Carlton
Dailey,
and Mrs.
Phillip Rosenthal were in
charge of the attractive side•
walk cafe.
The hotdog countaier was
managed by Mrs. Murray Brown.
The school was decorated
with gay French travel posters
and the murals painted by
Melzer
fathers, Dr. Ralph
Solomon, Glenn Oliver and
Phillip Rosenthal.
The PT A would like all
parents to circle the date of
Sunday, June 8, so that the
entire family can attend the
retirement tea for Emma S.
Melzer.
On morons: We don't often see eye to eye
with Marty Faye (WBKB) but the other evening,
catching him accidently, he blasted away at
those offenders who are arrested for molesting
children and then released. We are a great believer in forgiveness, but this emotion stops
short when it comes to those criminal personalities who annoy youngsters.
Granted that there are those sex offenders
who prey on adults, but at least an adult has a
fighting chance. What chance has a little 3 or
4 year old against someone who offers to buy
them some candy or take them for a walk or ride.
It is our definite contention, along with faye,
that the very first time one of these ghouls is
picked up, he should be incarcerated until he
has received adequate psychiatric treatment
that will render him harmless, or let him rot in
jail for the rest of his Zif e.
The pity of the whole thing is that they let
these monsters go free with sometimes nothing
more than admonishment. Then when they dig
up the body of a child somewhere, they start
rounding them up as suspects.
Let's not have "suspects." If we don't have
the proper laws to do something about these
mental degenerates, then let's see that such
law is enacted - at once.
On records: Have you heard Johnny Ma this'
latest hi-fi lp album, "Good Night, Dear Lord?"
It's the greatest. He sings prayers of all faiths
with such intensity of emotion, he commands
your complete listening attention.
Even those addicts u,ho subscribe to such
inanities as songs about a witch doctor or
rocking around a clock, and who get a sadistic
pleasure from listening to those singers (we
use the term loosely) who sound as if they're
being attacked from the rear, will have to admit
that this latest Mathis' recording is one of the
finest things on the disc market today.

On food: We are always delighted to receive
invitations to club luncheons, but we do wish
someone would inform chefs that there must be
something to serve other than creamed chicken.
We are developing a psychosis about the dear
little fowls.
Ladies, if you keep on destroying all those
chickens, what will you do for eggs? The cows
are becoming paranoiacs. They are starting to
suffer from delusions of persecution.
And think of what psychotic cows can do
to our milk!
So, please, at your next luncheon, make it
beef, make it corn fritters, make it hash, but
no more creamed chicken.
So you'll be buying poppies, too . . . These
little buds of violet hue • . . And not so much
for those who've gone . . . But more for those
who still live on . . . The greatest horror anywhere • . . Is spending your life in a bed or a
chair . . . It's not so much the body, but the
spirit that breaks . . . And we've all got to help,
whatever it takes . . . Try visiting Hines, or
some war injured vet . . . It's a scene that will
take you long to forget .•. So when you reach
for your poppy, your donation increase . . . Help
those w.ho helped us find some measure of
peace.

SLATS vs FLASHES
A VOLLEYBALL GAME
(it says here)
"A rare creature . .
the Zambelian Gazelle!"
"Three Zambelian Gazelles together are extremely rare/"
"They laughed when I sat down to play."
,.Fingers/ Fingers/"
There was a special bounce to the last meeting
of the Jane Stenson school Parent - Teachers
Assn. this month.
Featured was a volleyball game - or reasonable
facsimile thereof - between a group of PT A board
members billing themselves as the Stenson
Slats and the teachers, who modestly described
themselves as the Faculty Flashes.
Because of the tr em en do u s interest that
developed in the game - and the arch-rivalry
existing between these superbly conditioned
athletic organizations - the game was played
on neutral ground - the Sharp Corner school
gymnasium. This move by the PTA-ers wa s
designed to offset any "home court" advantage
accruing to the faculty.
Considerable grumbling by members of the
faculty followed thist' coup by the Slats, but to
no avail, there being only one ball and that in
possession of the PTA club.
A fellow named Slawik proclaimed himself
captain of the pedagogues. There was little
argument over this choice, Slawik being principal
of the school.
The grimness with which the faculty approached the game made itself evident quickly
when this same Slawick showed up on stilts.
There was a hurried consultation among the
Slats but, despite a thorough perusual of the
rulebook, no ordinance forbidding this type of
accoutrement was found.
The PTA-ers retaliated by fielding three of
the most un-slatlike slats it has been the pleasure of our chief photographer, Norman Knabusch,
to catch in action -namely, Mrs. Lorne Sampson,
Mrs. Victor Aramburu and Mrs. Leon Sidell.
Outraged by this underhanded maneuver, the
Flashes insisted that the new to-the-ankle sack
uniform be required of all female participants.
The referee, who happened to be Knabusch,
overruled this maneuver - and was cheered to
the rafters by all male spectators.
The game was what could only be described
as ... well, a ... uh ... aah ... Well, it was
just one of those games you had to see to
bclieTe.
Knahusch still doesn't believe it.

Twenty-fo ur Mariner Girl Scouts, who are
literally working their way to Europe, might
prove to be the most effective ambassado rs
of good will ever to tour the continent.
The captain of some ship on which the girls
will sail during the summer of 1960, will have
24 attractive passenger s whose nautical knowledge goes far beyond the distinction between
These Senior Girl Scouts, all freshmen,
sophomore s and juniors from Niles Township,
are members of M.S. (Mariner Ship) Wahoo, named
after the United States submarine of World War
II fame .
Since its official organizati on in August of
last year, this thirty-girl group has had one major
goal- Europe in 1960. Twenty four of the girls
have definite plans for the trip. In addition to
parental permissio n , the group has the approval
of the local Scout Co u n c i I. Approval from
national Girl Scout officials is expected momentarily .
Helene Hyman knows lots of soap does the job. Carol Asbiornse n

Niles Township PTA.
The girls are earning their travel expense
money through a series of continuing projects
including summer vacation jobs, after school
employmen t in local stores and baby sitting.
Each Mariner must earn sixty percent of her
$906 expenses. Through combined efforts the
troop is raising the remainder of the cost.
One of their most recent projects was a car
wash. Dressed in jeans, Burmuda shorts, rubber
boots and aprons the girls put a profession al
gleam on their customers ' cars.
Frank and Hank's Pure Oil station at Pratt
and Cicero in Skokie , normally not open on
Sundays, donated the station's car washing
facilities. From early morning until late afternoon the girls worked steadily. Their enthusiasm
wasn't the least bit dampened by the intermitte nt
rain.

The Mariners, determined business women
with a cause, also collect and sell scrap paper
and rags. They have had three paper drives and
the next is scheduled for Saturday, June 14.
These teenage entrepreneurs have collected
approximately $242 on the three drives - but it
takes literally tons of paper, selling for $6 a
ton, to put this amount in the travel fund.
The girls cover the Fairview and Lincoln
school districts from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. They
will gladly collect papers from outside the area
if residents will contact them. A local car dealer
and other businessmen have loaned pickup trucks
for the drives.
A sea-faring group, the Mariners are in the
process of repairing canoes for an overnight
trip May 16 and . 17 on the Fox River. The girls
and their Skipper, Mrs. George Stryker and Mates
Mrs. Roland Bennett and Mrs. Robert Seedorf,
all of Skokie, will camp overnight on a government reservation at Serena, Illinois.
The Mariners of the M.S. Wahoo quickly demonstrated their nautical skills. Last Fall, just
a few months after the group was organized,
the . girls won second place honors in the
Chicagoland Canoe Regatta at Lincoln Park
lagoon in Chicago.
Water safety, life saving and swimming are
some of the skills these girls continue to improve. Twice a month, for a small fee, they
practice swimming at the Niles Township High
School pool.
During May the girls will be learning sailing
techniques from Mr. Charles Haddon, a member
of the Skokie Lagoon Penguin Fleet. Throughout
the year they continue to increase their knowledge of the ships bells and the 24 hour clock.

orological consultants, recently instructed the
girls on weather conditions.
Attending a recent boot camp graduation at
the Great Lakes Naval Station, a requirement
for any Mariner group, was probably one of the
most enjoyable tasks the girl:- have performed.
On land or water, the girls never forget
Europe, their travel goal. The trip has been the
dream for many in the group since they were
fifth grade Intermediate Scouts in Skokie's Fairview School. Then they had their first pictorial
view of one of the Girl Scout International
houses, the Girl Scout Chalet in Adelboden,
Switzerland.
The Mariners will stay at the Chalet during
the summer of 1960 and associate with Girl
Scouts from all over the world. They will also
visit Girl Guide hostels in England, Holland,
France and Belgium.
The summer of 1960 is a fortunate choice for
the trip because the girls will have an opportunity to witness the Olympic Games and see
the world-famed Oberammergau Passion, which
is produced once every ten years.
Language should be no problem for the girls
as they must study French, German or Spanish
in preparation for the tour.
Two years may seem a long period of time,
but these girls pack every moment with travelfund raising projects. Local residents can help
make a dream a reality by cooperating with the
Mariners. The next opportunity is June 14 when
the girls will have another scrap paper drive.
Connie Martino believes in giving every auto
a clean sweep.
Susan Seedorf doesn't forget to empty the
ashtray. The girls didn't overlook anything in
their thorough job of car washing.

HISTORY: Chapter Two
First Palef ace
Come s to Niles
To"W nship
by BERTHA M. ROSCHE
John Jackson Ruland plodded westward.
The ship that couldn't find Chicago in 1834
had landed him some ten miles up the lake
shore. If his starting point was as far north as
the present downtown Evanston area he slogged
through a wooded swamp until he struck the rise
to Ridge Road.
From there to what is now Crawford he had
easier going, for it was a treeless stretch to be
known later as East Prairie . After a mile of that
he hit swamp again until he came to the next
ridge, now Cicero Avenue.
These ridges and others represent ·the successive retreats of ancient Lake Chicagou
which, after the glacial period, covered a large
portion of northeastern Illinois and as far south
as Valparaiso - a matter which didn't interest
Mr. Ruland.
Within the memory of persons now living in
Skokie, the area from Cicero to the canal was a
swampy forest they called Lauderbacb, which
afforded good duck-hunting. In the spring, say
some of the older people, it was sometimes so
filled with water that a rowboat could be used,
and at the highest it could be rowed even to the
junction of the canal with the North Branch of
the Chicago River near Kedzie and Foster. At
such times it was not unknown for lake sturgeon
to come up the river into the swamp.
But on this day in 1834 John Ruland was
looking for drier land and pushed on through
the dense oak and maple forest to the next
ridge, our Lincoln Avenue , which was a welltrod Indian trail. Still westward he trudged as
the afternoon sun flickered down through the
branches, until he came to a sandy bank beyond
which the Milwaukee Railroad now crosses
Oakton. There he called it a day's journey and
made himself a dug-out for a shelter.
Shoots A Wolf
There is a story that when he finished it he
took his gun and started to hunt for fresh meat.
He had gone only a few rods when a huge wolf
rose from behind a log close at hand. He leveled
his gun and fired, then dropped it and ran for
his cave. Next morning he came cautiously back
to look for his gun and found the wolf dead
some 25 feet from where he had shot him.
He should not have lacked for food, for the
woods abounded in deer. Even twenty years
later they formed a staple 111inter's meat for th;
settlers. Buffalo still existed in the region.
Prairie chickens and quail were plentiful, and
ducks and geese and even swans were upon the
rivers and ponds , and fish of many varieties in
the waters.
For two or three more decades, berries could
be gathered by the bucketful in a short time .
One has dnly to look into the Cook County forest
preserves in the spring when the fruit trees are
are all abloom to know what an abundance they
must have provided of apples , wild pears , plums,
and other fruits. A Skokie citizen remembers
that along Lincoln Avenue grew wild oranges
as large as our commercial ones.
Of predatory animals Mr . Ruland's wolf did
not lack for companions . There were the bear,
the panther, fox and wildcat. Along the streams
were otter, minlc and beaver. The museum in
Lincoln Park preserves for us the wild life of
the region in its natural setting .
Indians, Too
Mr. Ruland may soon have been called upon
by his red neighbors. Through the treaty of 1833
had evicted them, many remained. Their villages
were scattered along the rivers . A large one
centered a little south of Devon and Cicero,
while another was at the present village of
Golf. The nearest on the Des Plaines river were
at Irving Park Road at Park Ridge, and north of
Des Plaines village . In Skokie, near Lincoln
and Laramie, was an established camping
ground ; another in Morton Grove was north of
the railroad station , and yet another lay jn the
southwest comer of Niles , east of the river.
Indian trails were the earliest roads. Ridge
Avenue follows the old Green Bay Trail. ·Lincoln
Avenue was a trail that branched as now, one
fork going to Gross Point up the lake shore, the
other turning west. St. Peter's Catholic church
now occupies the vantage point of this fork.
All these cut diagonally through forest and
prairie to the big Indian village at the mouth of
the main river, just as they do today. In fact,
all our present main highways converging upon
Chicago from westerly directions are built u;prm
old Indian trails.
However, Ruland already had a few white
neighbors , too . The nearest was Joseph Curtis
who had come in 1831 or '32 and settled on
Section 17 in Morton Grove, only little more than
a mile from the dug out. He built a rude log
house and later kept a tavern.
The following year J oho Dewes (also recorded
as De Wees) located a half mile north of Curtis.
Dewes had come from England, Ruland from the
East. John Schadiger and Julius Perrin built on
the North Branch, the first house within the present limits of the village of Niles . The story is
told that it was a house with no windows and
only one door. Schadiger soon moved to Wisconsin, but Perrin lived in Niles until his death
in 1873.
'Dutchman's Point'
In 1834 came John Clark from Chicago, and
Christian Ebinger and his brothers John and
�21
Frederick from Wurtenberg, Germany. For some
years Christian had been manager of the flower
gardens of King William of Wurtenberg.
He had come to America in 1831 and now
built the second house in Dutchman's Point, as
Niles soon came to be called. He was a farmer
and a local preacher in the German Evangelical
association. His son Henry at one time owned
the entire area of Edison Park.
In 1832 Mark Noble had come from England
and bought 160 acres id the township, and enough
more in the town of Jefferson to make up 600.
He got it all for $2.50 per acre.
The next we hear of John Ruland, his circumstances were much improved. He was no longer
in his dug out but had moved over to join the
settlement on the North Branch, now consisting
of the Ebingers, Perrins, Clark and Noble. He
had built a house and had his w i f e and two
children with him.
But Curtis and Dewes gave up the hardships
of pioneer life and returned to England, thus
reducing the population of our future township
to the five families overin the southwest corner.
We wonder - not -at the two Britishers' discouragement, but at the tenacity of the others.
One day Ruland and the Ebinger men started
for Chicago to buy seed potato e s. Over the
muddy trail the journey to the city with oxen and
empty wagon could scarcely be made in one day.
They bought their load at $1.25 a bushel and
began the slow return to Dutchman's Point, but
bogged down in the mire and were two days
getting home.
Skokie Settler
In Skokie the very first white man to build
a house was an Irish bachelor by the name of
O'Brien. It was a little log cabin on what is
now the lawn of the Blameuser house on Oakton
west of the Northwestern tracks, across from the
Public Library. Apparently he did not stay long
for that is all we know of him, but his cabin
was still standing when, about the turn of the
century, Peter Blameuser brought his bride
Clara Hoffman to the big house.
Skokie' s first permanent white settler, Nicholas
Meyer, came from Alsace-Lorrain e in 1835. He
later was one of the first merchants in the township. Though he died in 1857, the stories he
passed on have come down the century by word
of mouth.
Schneider and Huffmeyer, the first two men on
East Prairie.
Hardy Pioneers
There were still others within an easy day's
walk, for the first pioneers had come to Jefferson
Park and along the Des P 1 a in es. In 1836
Abraham Hathaway built where the Evanston
park is now, and Philip Rogers arrived the same
year, put up a log house farther south and began
the business of burning charcoal. Rogers Park
was named for him.
Along the ridge between Rosehill and Evanston
came many of the first settlers, who built on it
to keep clear of the water which fully half the
year rose over the adjacent lands. In 1840
Benjamin Hall, after whom Hall Road was named,
built' the old tavern at Dutchman's Point.
Wi'.th a dozen or more log houses in little
clearings in this and our neighboring townships,
the area was really booming. In the meantime
the new town at the mouth of the Chicago River
was booming, too, with about 1,000 inhabita~ts.
But as yet it had not cast its shadow this far.
In between lay some 15 miles of forests with
winding trails and fallen timbers, with streams
to be forded, and of open prairies with high,
tangled grass. The great barrier, however, was
the deep, rich, black Illinois mud into which
the weary oxen sank above their hooves and
strained against wagons mired to their hubs.
This for many years held back the new settlements from contact with the city.
He described the beautiful hardwood forests
and how pigs roamed at large in them fattening
on the acorns. (The rendered lard sold for three
cents a pound!) As many as fifteen deer hung
at one time from the rafters of the barn. He told,
also, of his closest early neighbors: Samuel E.
Perris, the first permanent settler in Morton
Grove who c,i11e in 1839; toward Gross Point,
Lyman B1'lterfield, and two miles or so east

The Life and Times of
HAROLD TEEN
The Story of Skokie's Carl Ed, Whose
Love and Understanding of Young
People Led to the Creation of this
Rollicking Symbol of Flaming Youth
by BETTY NEFF
CARL ED
Teen-agers and their problems are a very
special province of a 67-year-old Skokie grandfather whose career has brought him fame,
fortune and the misery of meeting a deadline
every day since 1912 .
He is Carl Ed, creator of the comic strip
"Harold Teen". His hero's adventures have
been celebrated in the movies, a radio serial,
and in popular songs as well as in the' 'funnies'',
and many of his characters' slang expressions,
fads in clothing and even recipe inventions have
had their day as national rages.
Ed (it rhymes with feed, not fed) didn't
appear destined for fame as a youth in Rock
Island, Ill.
"The neighbors said I'd never amount to anything,'' he reminisced recently. ''I was canned
off more jobs than you could shake a stick at.
I married early (he was 21, his wife 18) and I
couldn't get a job as a cartoonist, so I tested
automobilt:s, was a blacksmith's helper, tried
collecting bills for a department store, and
worked awhile as a billing clerk. My mother was
a widow and sent me to business school, but I
hated arithmetic. I just wanted to draw cartoons."
As a youngster, Ed studied art at Augustana
college in Rock Island under a professor who
painted altar pieces for the Lutheran Synod and
thought comics were trash. But Carl spent his
time copying the popular cartoon characters of
the day - Happy Hooligan, Buster Brown and
the Katzenjammer Kids.
(In later years, Ed returned for a visit with his
old professor. The art teacher commented, in
his Swedish accent, "Vell, Carl, maybe you
vasn' so dumb after all,")
'Luke McGlook'
Ed's first effort in the professional comic strip
field was a baseball effort with the unwieldy
title of "Luke McGlook, the Bush League Bearcat." World Color Syndicate in St. Louis
�Cartoonist Sidney Smith ribber! Ed with this
drawing of Smith's immortal Andy Gump on the
occasion of the birth of Ed's only child, Donna
Jean, who arrived when Harold Teen was the
rage of the comics.
purchased this one for the princely sum of $12
a week, and a cartoonist was launched on what
was to be a fabulous career.
Ed found he couldn't live in St. Louis on his
salary, even in 1912, so he returned to Rock
Island Argus. He held down his job along with
his cartoonist's chores until 1918, when he
came to Chicago.
The Chicago Examiner hired him as a sports
cartoonist, and his urge to produce a regular
strip with a story line remained frustrated. But
in 1919, he heard "through the grapevine" that
Capt. Joseph Patterson of the Chicago Tribune~
was looking for a strip dealing with adolescence
and puppy love.
"I got a copy of Booth Tarkington's 'Seventeen' and absorbed it," Ed related. "I still
treasure that book.''
He took the ideas of "Seventeen," built them
around his boyhood gang in Rock Island and
Moline, and Harold Teen was born, bathed in
the nostalgic atmosphere of Tarkington's classic.
We are grateful to the Chicago
Tribune for permission to re•
produce in the Villager the Harold
Teen characters appearing on
our cover and in the Feature
Section.
Celebrities' faces were familiar to Ed in the
'20s and '30s and be was seen often around the
country with such entertainment luminaries as
comic Harold Lloyd.
"There was a fat guy in our gang, and be became Beezie Binks," Ed said. "There was a
little squirt who became Shadow Smart, and of
course there was a girl I was terribly in love
with, who was the first Lillums. She was the
girl I married.
"There have been a succession of Lillumes
in my life - first Mrs. Ed, then my daughter and
now my granddaughter. Really, the only changes
have been in styles - clothing, slang and the
like. Women haven't changed-I still love all
of 'em, from 8 to 80."
The Harold Teen strip caught on because of
inspired timing. Right after World War II, the
teen age revolution began. Boys who used to
dress like their dads and girls who had always
been all starch and braids burst the bonds of
tradition and became "Sheiks" and "Shebas."
Short hair, short skirts, flapping galoshes and
slickers adorned with snappy sayings became
the rage. Harold Teen was a wholesome depiction of the '' flaming youth'' which ca us e d
tonguescluckings from the older generation
throughout the length and breadth of the land.
"They've always given up on the teen ager
in each decade," Ed says. "I never worried
about them. There have been delinquents in
each decade I can remember, but the great
majority have been swell• kids and I still think
so today."
Hobnobbing with newspaper bigwigs is always
a part of a cartoonist's ;ob. Here Carl is shown
some years back with two of the biggest-Col,
Robert McCormick of the Chicago Tribune,
center, and George C. Biggers of the Atlanta
Journal. Both were Harold Teen enthusiasts.
scrutiny as she entered the adolescent phase of
Ed wasn't above eavesdropping on her and her
friends in his constant need to keep abreast of
the teen fads and lingo.
"Mrs. Ed and I held open house for the kids
in those days," the cartoonist smiled. "Those
were my lush years, when my daughter was in
high school and the thundering herd practically
lived at our house. We just let the~ take over.
"I got ideas from them. I used to sneak downstairs in the kitchen and listen to their chatter
when they didn't know I was there. I used to
haul a lot of kids to high school, and I would go
to drug stores and listen to the kids at lunchtime. The strip practically wrote itself."
Those "lush" days were the days when
Harold Teen started nationwide teen fads, too.
·The "gedunk sundae" was mentioned in the
strip after Ed and a friend, sitting at the breakfast table, were wisecracking and the word
"gedunk" somehow popped out.

Teen Age Bible
In its heyday, Harold Teen was '' sort of a
Bible for teen agers," Ed stated . It certainly
was as accurate a reflection of the manners and
mores of that puzzling group as constant observation could make it.
Mr. and Mrs. Ed's only child, Donna Jean,
was naturally an object of her father's fond
In 1928, Ed posed with Mary Brian and Arthur
Lake on th0 occasion of the first Harold Teen
movie-in which Lake played llarold Teen and
Miss Brian was Lillums. Film was remade five
years later with Hal Le Roy and Rochelle Hudson
in the starring roles.

Youngster s are still a constant source of
material for the Skokie artist. Three of bis
favorites are grandchild ren shown here-Joan
Reynolds, 18, Ward, 14 and Jean, 10.
Ed didn't know what a gedunk sundae was,
but as letters and telegrams poured in asking
for the recipe, he decided that a cup of hot
chocolate, with a dipper of ice cream in it,
would do nicely- the whole to be eaten by
dipping lady fingers into the brew while wearing
a special gedunk bib.
"It was a phenomen on," Ed recalled. "Soda
fountains all over the country got bibs, and the
kids actually did it."
Another whimsy which swept the youth of the
nation was balloon trousers, which Ed introduced to the strip during the depression .
"The London correspon dent for the New York
Times dutifully reported that Harold Teen had
started the fad to stimulate use of more cloth
and give the economy a boost," Ed grinned.

He proves it here by manning a shovel on the
lawn of his attractive home. Mrs. Ed is alk rgic
to photos of herself and arranged to be absent
when Villager reporter and photograp her visited
their home. Ed was unable to find a picture of
her around the house.
Ed goes over wall full of graphic memoribil ia
in his home at 7914 Kolmar Ave., Skokie, with
Villager reporter Betty Neff. Included are joshing
At the height of its popularity , Harold Teen
was appearing regularly in more than 200 newspapers under the Chicago Tribune copy right.
It was the first comic strip to be dramatized
for radio, where it ran for five years. Fad items toreador trousers, hats, shirts, candy bars,
ukuleles, slickers - were hot sellers under the
Harold Teen imprint.
In 1928, Harold Teen broke into the movies
with a feature length silent picture. It was the
first directing job for Mervyn Le Roy, and starred
Arthur Lake, Mary Brian, Alice White and Hedda
Hopper. Five years later, Hollywood remade the
film with sound, casting Hal Le Roy and Rochelle
Hudson as Harold and Lillums.
1:he years - and Ed's eternal youths - rolled
on. Donna Jean grew up and married Fred
Reynolds, who became a popular disc jockey
at WGN and later joined RCA as a producer of
record albums. The Reynoldse s now live in
Darien, Conn., with their children -Joan, 18,
Ward, 14, and Jean, 10.
Ed, who had always been convivial, suffered
a serious illness in 1947. He tipped the scales
at 235 pounds when he underwent major surgery
for gall bladder trouble and a metabolic dfsorder.
"I went into a coma and nearly died," he
said. "I'd never been s ick a day in my life, but
this time I was in Evanston hospital for three
cartoons sent him by such longtime friends and
cartooning colleague s as Sidney Smith (Andy
Gump) and Al Segar (Popeye).
f\
months. They put me on an anti-fat diet and I
lost 75 pounds while I was there. That's the
only lapse I ever had on my deadline in all
those years."
Ed's assistant, who had done only the lettering for the strip, kept Harold Teen going in
pictures while Ed's son-in-law , Fred Reynolds,
wrote the ma t er i a l during the cartoonist 's
illness.
As soon as Ed was back on his feet, he was
back at his drawing-b oard as well. But he'd
slowed down a bit-he's the first to admit
jokingly that nowadays he "can only chase
blondes downhill. ''
Move to Skokie
The Eds moved from their six bedroom colonial home in Evanston to a smaller, Spanishstyle white brick home at 7914 Kolmar in 1953,
drawn by the studio and garden, plus the need
for a more compact dwelling. The "thunderin g
herd" Ed loved so well had gone, and with it
the necessity for plenty of space.
Gone also were the trick phrases, the eccentricities in clothing, and other adolescen t passions that Ed used to be able to observe in his
own living room. He was forced to look afield
for material for the strip.
"I don't leave the house as much as I used
to," he said. "I listen to radio and TV, and subscribe to eight daily papers and a number of
TJlagazines. You read and listen and you get to
be like a sponge. You're looking for ideas and
it's surprising where the ideas come from. My
radio goes all day long- it drives Mrs. Ed nuts
sometime s."
Three years ago Harold Teen' s parent paper,
the Chicago Tribune, dropped the strip and Ed
thought of retiring. But the Tribune Syndicate
still had some 60 other newspape rs signed up
for it, and Ed decided to keep Harold and his
pals going. He's never regretted the decision,
although all his life he has fought against the
regular necessity of sitting down to face that
empty white bristol board and people it with
another comic sequence.
"I can't work in the morning," he lamented.
"I'm stupid. There isn't any creative profession
as deadly as this one because you have to produce every day in the year.
"About 2 or 3 in the afternoon I get rolling.
I have an early dinner and I never go to bed
until 1 a.m. My best hours are from 10 p.m. to
1."
Ed stays six weeks ahead on his daily strip
and JO weeks on Sunday.
He's avoided such current topical subjects
as rock and roll because "It has been linked
with hoodlumis m in some quarters and it's dynamite unless you go into a preachmep t, I think
the thing is, I'm dated."
But Harold, Lillums, Lilacs, Pop Jenks,
Beezie, Shadow and the rest keep rolling along,
appearing regularly in such big cities as San
Francisco , Los Angeles, Boston, Washingto n
and Detroit.
Perpetual Deadline
"I've been on a deadline since 1912," Ed
smiled, "so I don't know what would happen to
retire.
"My happiest associatio n has been to grow
up all these things, starting with oil lamps when
I was a kid, right through radio, movies, soda
fountains, television . It's been a tremendou s
age of developme nt. I'm glad I have the same
routine because it makes me feel young,''
A gentle, wistful, almost courtly man in an
age when brashness and self-sellin g seem t<!> be
the vogue, Ed has evolved a philosophy .
"The will to live and being wanted are the
things that keep you young," he said softly.
"When you get my age, if you're not useful
and you don't take an interest in people or in
life you can age very rapidly. This June I'll
have been married 47 years - three more years
and 1 get a gold tooth!
"But I'm lucky. I have the same problem
every week- blank paper in front of me - and
still 1 don't know what I would do without it."

SO YOU
WANT TO BE
A BALLPLAYER,
Ray Kozub, Ex-Minor Leaguer,
Ray Kozub, as he appeared when he was a
peppery infielder for the Visalia, Calif., Cubs,
a minor league affiliate of the Chicago Cubs.
Gives Would-be Pros the Lowdown
by RAY KOZUB
You're about to graduate from high school and
you think you've got a good chance of becoming
a major league ball player - perhaps another
Musial or Williams.
You've been playing baseball all through
school. You can be It one out of sight or occasionally pitch a no-hitter. You might be one of
those kids who can make the play of the game.
But is this enough to be a major league
prospect?
Probably not.
To begin with, a scout has to see you do it.
All those plays and·hits have to be made while
he is watching. He takes nothing for granted,
and listens to no one. After he see's you produce, he might think you are ready for a chance
to make something of yourself.
One thing is sure: a scout will not sign any
boy to a contract before he graduates from high
school. This is to prevent youngsters from giving
up their education.
To be a top prospect, a boy should be able
to run like a rabbit, hit a ball the proverbial
country mile, or throw it through a brick wall.
If you can do any of these things, you are
considered a prospect.
What you lack in fielding can be taught you.
Well, say you graduate from high school, and
you're signed to a class D contract. You've
been sent co-say, Janesville, Wis. in the
Wisconsin State L~ague. Your contract reads
that you are to receive $175.00 a month. This
seems like a lot of money to a boy, especially
one who thinks baseball should be played for
love of the game.
But now you are, a pro, and now you realize
people pay money to watch you play ball.
But now the little disappointments start to
set in.
In the minor leagues, spring training starts
early in April and you're given four weeks to get
in shape to make the club.
Once inside the locker room, your hopes really
dim. Here, at least 45 to 50 boys of all sizes
and shapes are present for the same reason: to
make the club. You. immediately start to wonder
if you made the right move.
You are issued a uniform and a locker and
told to be on the field in ten minutes. Spring
training usually starts with a meeting in the
center of the field.
The manager, a veteran of many years in pro
ball, tells the boys he wants nothing but a good
day's work on the field. One of the main things
he stresses is that you be a gentlemen on, as
well as off, the field. People look up to a ballplayer as something special, he says, and it is
required that you behave yourself at all times.
The first few days you run, run and run until
you think that you were sent to camp to make a
track team. Few people realize that running is
the best way to get your arms as well as your
legs in shape.
The next day hitting practice starts and not
a minute is wasted. While the outfielders hit,
the pitchers run and the infielders take infield
practice. The manager stands around the batting
cage and studies everyone.
He can usually pick out immediately those

who have the ability to be a ballplayer.
After three weeks of practice, some of the
boys are given their release. Perhaps they
couldn't hit a curve or make the pivot around
second base. It's tough- facing your family and
friends after this.
Baseball is a funny business. It has its ups
and downs. If you can't produce, someone will
be around to take your place.
Weather or location are no stumbling blocks
for a ball team. You play in cold as well as hot
weather. If you're a second basemen and they tell
you to play the outfield, you go out and give it
the best you've got. One day you might be in
Texas and the next day you might be in Missouri.

You are told to play where and when, as well
as how.
Playing on a winning team is the greatest
thing in the world. Everything comes easy, such
as getting the big hit or making the play of the
day. When you are on a loser, people boo and
the manager calls the front office for any kind
of help- maybe to replace you.
In the end, chances are you will have spent
a number of years rattling around the country in
wheezy buses, playing in small towns before a
few hundred people, and never really getting
within reaching distance of the major leagues unless you happen to be one of the very, very
few with exceptional talent. If so, it's all extremely worthwhile.
Is it worth it otherwise? All the writer can
say is that he spent five years in the minor
leagues - and loved every minute of it.

With the Skokie V.F.W. Little
League baseball season nearing its June opening, team
managers and their staffs met
at the V.F.W. home Friday to
make final preparations.
The
gathering
included
virtually all Little League
supporters and, said Clarence
Bauman, who represents the
V.F.W. league:
''The teams will be in the
capable hands of some very
good men who give a lot of
their time to see baseball at its
best.''
Among
topics
discussed
were scheduling and team make-
up. Plans for the first practice
were ironed out.
Bauman said there were a
good many applications from
boys who want to play.
Teams will be managed by
the following: Cleveland, A.
Donofrio and Jack Murray;
Wright-Lee team, Mile Shearn
and Bob Wolf; Fairview, Al
Manison and Elmer Kornelly;
Oakton Park, Henry Dulkin;

KELL Y'S KORNER
by TWEED KELLY
Oops, sorry, department: This column, originally
scheduled for last week's issue, was crowded
out at the last minute.
But remaining was a note on our "Letters to
the Editor" page which referred Mr. Mannie D.
Pollack (who was nice enough to write a letter
to us) and other readers to the column.
We regret the inconvenience caus.ed our readers.
At least a dozen told us they searched the issue
several times looking for Kelly. Ordinarily he is
a hard guy to find - but never quite that hard.
The only encouraging thing about this foul-up
i~ that we learned we are being read. Following
is the passage we referred to:
Mannie D. Pollack has broken into print twice
that we know of in "Letters to the Editor"
columns,
Mr. Pollack bears the title of "Public Relations Director, West Division Student Council,
Niles Township High School." (And if you think
that's a little gaudy you should be exposed to
some of the duties that come under the title,
"editor and publisher" - eh, Tom Branagan?)
In Friday's issue of the Chicago Sun-Times
this enterprising young man got in a nice plug
for his alma mater. Portions of his letter follow:
"We at Niles Township High School have
plenty of reasons to be proud of the ·fact that we
attend such a fine school, so full of so many
wonderful things ••. The Nilehi Code of Ethics,
the outstanding Student Service Organization,
the Student Lounge (Leisure Lodge), the School
Spirit Committee, multiple periods, and our
beautiful campus are only a few things we can
be proud of. The new West Division school,
which is yet to open, pres~nts a new concept in
school buildinB,S, Yes, we dare face up to New
Trier, Maine, Evanston, Highland Park, and
others. We feel we deserve the best of every·
thing, including publicity."
And young Mr. Pollack went on to say in
effect that it would be nice if the school could
get some "good publicity."
We hope he and other students had an opportunity to read through last week's Villager,
wherein the lead article went into the whole
question of the split shift business at Nilehi.
Our reporter did a most comprehensive job - an excellent job, we think - - of explaining the
system and how it is working out.
At any rate, Mannie Pollack is to be commended for his fine school spirit, Also he seems
to have the makings of a topflight press agent.
We have just one tip to pass along. The space
problem being what it is in newspapers and
other media, you seldom get "good publicity"
by hoping for it or demanding it because a
particular cause deserves it. There are thousands
of deserving causes. Each might consume an
entire issue of a publication, were space ladled
out on the basis of intrinsic worthiness.
Normally, a publicist gets his items placed
by dint of hard work. He creates or finds a newsworthy situation and then bangs ears until he
arouses the interest of editors.
Jayne Mansfield was just another woman until
she decided she had a worthwhile message and
succeeded in getting it across.
Definition of that message we'll leave to a
younger man. But not quite as young as
Mr. Pollack.
The program for widening and installing lights
on Skokie streets - immediately - is still on the
griddle. Fred_Wakefield, chairman of the village's
street committee, recently wrote Gov. Stratton,
pointing out that the need is immediate and the
village does not want to wait until motor fuel
tax funds are available on a yearly basis. Wakefield asked the governor to inquire as to whether
it would be possible for Skokie to have four years
of motor tax money advanced right away.

McCr eary Fights 'Quit' Orde r
No Danger that Service Will
Be Discontinued by July 15
"What now?" was a question
being asked throughout Niles
Township this week as commuters in the area worried about
the future of their bus transportation.
Today, a week after the
Illinois Commerce Commission
ordered American Coach Co.
to quit running its buses between Chicago's Loop and the
township villages on July 15,
there was no clear solution to
future transportation problems .
Other companies contacted
by Villager reporters as possible substitutes expressed no
interest- at least for the record.
Delay Likely
This is one of four new buses the American
Coach Co. obtained recently to im-prove its
service from the Niles Township area to
Chicago's Loop and-back. The firm's -president,
Frank McCreary, says they -prove he is trying
to better the service.
There was one fortunate
aspect: the grinding of the law
being as slow as it is, the order
to American Coach to quit by
July 15 could drag on for as
long as three or four years.
This is the estimate of Frank
McCreary, president of American
Coach, who says he' 11 fight
the order with an appeal for a
rehearing to the ICC and, if
this fails, through the courts.
To the 6,000 persons in this
area who use the line, this
normally-despised "red tape"
delay came as a welcome
breather.
Not only will it give American Coach a chance to im-prove
its service meantime, but will
enable other bus firms to assess
the township as a source of
customers and -prepare for entry
here.
McCreary has conferred with
his attorney, Louis R. Gentile,
and they jointly announced
that the word was "Fight."
Gentili said he' 11 petition
for a rehearing within the 30
days allowed.
"Bankers, lawyers, businessmen, office workers and many
others all count on us to get
them into the Loop,'' McCreary
said.
The rehearing pet1t1on
answers that, McCreary said.
•~o Complaints'
The interior of one of American Coach's new
0
buses. President McCreary says he 1 ll offer
photos like these to augment plea that the ICC
revoke its ultimatum to him to quit on July 15.
As for complaints for riders
about poor service, McCreary
that's "disappeared."
said
"We've had complaints in
the past," he admitted. "You'll
find there always are a few
who'll complain when you
carry 6,000 passengers a day.
But we haven't had any complaints in the last three or
four months since we put on
four brand new buses."
Purchased in December, each
bus seats 51 passengers.
"They're very fine, the best
you can buy,'' McCreary said.
McCreary suggested reporters
check with State Rep. Elroy
Sandquist, head of a committee
studying mass transportation
problems.
Sandquist, McCreary pointed
out, has urged Gov. Stratton
not to allow any bus company
in the state to go out of business.
"I don't understand it,"
McCreary told a reporter. "The
service has been getting better
year after year. I really don't
understand it!"
McCreary, pre side n t of
American Coach, was reached
in the Lyons office of Bluebird
Coach Lines, a west suburban
bus line he manages. McCreary
has a contract in which he'll
gain control of the Bluebird
company if he can get it on
its feet. That line has been
plagued, too, by beefs from
riders about poor equipment
unpredictable service.
and
said American
McCreary
Coach was a ''broken-down
line" when he took it over and
out of bankruptcy in 1950.
''Now,'' McCreary contended,
"American Coach is one of
the outstanding bus companies
in Illinois from the standpoint
of increasing service. There's
been a steady increase in the
number of passengers each
year."
"I don't know what the communities would do without us,"
McCreary said. ''They need us
more than ever what with the
North Western railroad wanting
to get out of Skokie and Lincolnwood and abandon other
stations."
He said officials of local
governments in Niles township
and the North Shore were concerned, too. "They've been
bonbarding me with telephone
calls, asking what I'm going
to do,'' McCreary said.

A construction company has
sued Wilmette in Circuit court
for' permits to build single
family residences on 19 "small"
lots in the village.
Attorney Lester Grossman
filed the suit in beha lf of Chase
Construction company and its
president and principal stod·holder, George J. Geor5 e
8039 Kilbourn, Skokie.
The plaintiffs either own or
have a contract to purchase the
lots.
The smallest of the 17 lots
has a frontage of 40 feet and
some are 52 feet wide, Grossman said. The lots run from
120 to 122 feet deep, he said.
Wilmette Building Commissioner John F. Scapin has rejected applications because
the village zoning ordinance
says each lot shall contain at
least 8,400 square feet and
an average width of 60 feet
minimum, the suit said.
Industrial development investments for April totaled
$6,632,000 for the Chicago
metropolitan area, the Chicago
Association of Commerce and
Industry reports. April investments in 1957 were $18,638,000.
Among the projects announced in April:
Northwest Mold, Inc., 8220
Christiana ave., Skokie, has
a cquired 5,000 square feet of
of floor area in a building adjacent to its present plant.

company manufactures

Dear Miss Leonard:
A good many of the following letters have to do with the
fine work turned in by our distaff editorial side. Normally,
we think women should not be encouraged in their little
vanities, because it invariably means they become big
vamues, and Lord knows we can't afford them.
But we decided co risk publication of certain items of
praise for our society editor, whose name escapes us at
the moment, upon her assurance chat these testimonials
were entirely unsolicited.
We also elicited from her a promise that such recognition
will spur her on to even greater heights, and chat the subject of a raise will not come up again for at least 10 days.
Dear Editor:
I want to thank you for the
treatment accorded our most
recent news release (on the
Skokie Valley Community
Hospital).

Dear Editor:
Best wishes for success in

In behalf of the Morton Grove

We start our meetings again

The story prepared by Shery I
Leonard in the May 8 issue

the best description that has

electronic equipment I have

the ability to dramatize without
exaggerating the facts.
My thanks for being in the

I have appointed myself as a
committee of one to compliment
you on the Villager. I have
talked with persons from all
walks of life and everyone
agrees that the new Villager
is by far the best suburban
paper they have read.
They all commented on the
the type of print and how the
pictures glow with life. Also,
the Villager is not like the
"gossip" paper usually found
in the suburb and in small communities. It is more like an
announcer, bringing news
beginning at birth to the world
beyond.
Good luck and a long life to
the newborn newspaper - the
Villager.
Your column "Sugar 'n Spice"
is very good ... you come right
to the point. Everyone I talked
with remarked how they enjoyed
it. May you and your column
have a long success.

keen sense of humor who will

put the Kinsey Report in its

I am very enthusiastic over
the Villager. The print is unusually clear, and the picture
layouts are really beautiful.

Dear Pat King
(feature writer):
The stir c re a t e d by your
article on Clay has been fun.
We've had telephone ca 11 s
and conversations aplenty from
folks who found out for the
first time what this "school"
business was in our lives which
they heard us m en ti on when
refusing dates or responsibilities in organizations.
We surely want to say a big
"thank you" to you for the
very excellent manner in which
you wrote up the story. A friend
who is editor of a small publication read the article and
said it was a very well written
piece. As we discussed it with
him we realized how easily it
would have been to make an
almost sob story out of it ...

The films Scared Stiff and
Jumping Jacks, both Hal Wallis

of continued popular requests.
In Scared Stiff the two zanies
join forces with Lizabeth Scott,
heiress to an eerie black-magicplagued island off th~ coast of
Cuba. Laughs keep pace with
chills as the boys cut up in
the haunted house, before they
make it safe for human occupancy.
Jumping Jacks casts the
boys as paratroopers - two of
the strangest sky soldiers that
ever laced on a pair of jumping
boots.

Indians Lose
Second Game
Despite Rally
Krier' s Skokie Indians Sunday
dropped their second game of
the season - this one to Moran
Supply, 10-9 - despite a stronghearted ninth inning rally
that had pul,led them into a tie.
Thus last year's Greater
Chicago League champs have
yet to win a game.
For Skokie it was a problem
of leaving too many men on
base. A total of 18 men were
stranded. Although Skokie got
14 hits, the Indians couldn't
get the big hit when they absolutely needed it.
Going into the ninth, the
Indians were behind 9 to · 3,
but rallied to score six runs
and tie the game. In the bottom
of the ninth, Moran came back
with two walks and a single
to win.
For Skokie it was Frank
Marino, Joe J ehnke, Marv Rotblatt and Lou Primpiss on the
mound. Rotblatt, former White
Sox pitcher, took th~ loss.
Moran Supply used Bill
Stunoff and Ed Golup on the
hill, with Stunoff getting the
win.
Dick Kokos, former White
Sox and St. Louis Browns
outfielder, and Phil Rizzo
were the big hitters for Moran,
getting three safeties apiece.
Skokie was led by Jim Newfeldt, with three hits, and the
Anderson Brothers, Bill and
Dick, who got two apiece.
Sunday at 3 p. m., the Indians
will play their fir s t game in
Skokie. The Kolski Boosters,
a team made up of many former
minor leaguers, will meet the
Indians at Oakton Park, Skoki.::
Blvd. and Oakton Street.
Future games: May 25 Kolski Boosters - here; May
30-Chicago Vets; June 1Cavillini.
With the opening of the home
season, the Indians have
arranged an elaborate pregame ceremony featuring Mayor
Ambrose M. Reiter of Skokie
and other off i c i a 1 s of the
township.

�Our chief photographer, Norman Knabusch,
scoffed when a friend told him about a chicken
that played baseball.
But the friend insisted there was such a bird.
"Just drop into the Boston Store next time
you're in Milwaukee and see for yourself,"
he said.
So Knabusch made the journey recently and
found that his informant had given him the
straight dope.
A little fearful now that no one would take
him at his word, Knabusch shot the set of
pictures appearing on this page. We're reprinting
them as graphic evidence that: (a) baseball has
advanced from the pasture to the barnyard,
(b) Knabusch' s expense account was justified,
and (c) chickens aren't such "dumb clucks"
after all.
In photo 1, the henhouse slugger tugs at a
string that activates a bat that (2) hits the ball
over the heads of the toy players in background
and onto the wall behind. This releases a few
kernels of com into a container in the feathered
swatter's cage and (3) our hero (or Heroine)
gobbles them up. Mission accomplished, chicken
goes back to the plate for another swing.

VOTE NILES HIGH SCHOOL TAX HIKE
Approve 15-cent Increase
In Levy for District 219
This is a view of ihe new Niles -High West building, awa iting
occupancy next fall by freshmen and sophomore classes. Junior
and senior classes will continue in present school building. Tax
levy increase voted by school district residents Saturday will
assure proper facilities and instruction, say school officials.
Milwauk ee Road
Asks Commute rs:
Cough Up Again
The Milwaukee Road has
reopened its legal bahle to
force Morton Grove, Niles and
other suburban commuters to
pay higher fares .
The road_ asked an average
21 per cent raise in a petition
filed recently with the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The U.S. Supreme Court
recently ordered the Milwaukee
to re turn about $700,000 in
fares collected from commuters. The court ruled that an
earlier increase was improper
becau se
the
railroad had
failed to make a full presentation of its case to the commission .
The carrier has been fought
fiercely in recent years by the
Milwaukee Road 'Commuters
Assn ., whose membership is.
heavy in the western part of
Niles Township.
Township
commuters
use
the line's
Morton Grove and Edgebrook
stations. An estimated 2,000
person s from the area ride the
Milwaukee Road daily.
Under the proposed new
increases
a 10-ride ticket
from the Morton Grove station
would be raised to $4. 75 from
$3.25. Also, a minimum ride
fare of 25 cents would be
established,
regardless
of
what type ticket is bought.
The road said that presently a
commuter can ride to and from
Edgebrook for about 25 cent s
a ride .
S. Ashley Guthrie, representing the commuters' asso-
ciation, has asked that the
Interstate Commerce Commission hearing be a joint one
with the Illinois Commerce
Commi.ssion . The state commission, while agreeing to
inquire into the reasonableness of any fare increase,
said it didn't want a joint
hearing.

Judge Orders
Skokie Reply
Circuit Judge Harry M. Fisher has ordered Skokie to cell him
within 15 days whether the village
ever has allowed a home to be
built in an R-1 residential district•
on a lot smaller than 5 5 feet.
The question is asked by
Marvin C. Charak, Elmwood Park,
who seeks a home buildi{\g permit
for a 43 foot wide lot on the east
side of Kostner, 261 feet south
of Simpson, Skokie.
The question of whether
Skokie ever allowed such a variation is restricted to within a mile
radius of Charak's property.
Skokie won a previous round
when Judge Fisher denied a motion for summary judgment ordering the village to allow construction of the home.
The land owned by Charak
is in a residential zone requiring
a frontage of 5 5 feet. Charak filed
the suit last June after the Skokie
zoning board refused his plea for
permission to build on the lot.
Village Attorney William
Hennessy said that ever since
1946 the lot has been in a zone
requiring 5 5-foot frontage. Charak purchased the property May
31, 19 5 7, the court was informed.
Gould Draws
Ninety Days
A county judge has
sentenced Sam Gould of Skokie
to 90 days in jail, followed by
five years' probation, for
possessing and distributing
obscene films. Gould, a
printer, pleaded guilty. Skokie
police seized 109 reels of
lewd movies in Gould's home
at 8633 N. Keystone Ave. in
a raid last October.
Two other men were placed
on probation for five years.
They are Isadore Cohn, 47, of
8508 Lawndale Ave., Skokie,
and John A. Mize, 47, of
Chicago.
Porter Sentences
Bad Check Artist
Seized in Skokie
In a recent court case,
Justice of the Peace Simon S.
Porter of Niles Township
sentenced John Yazum, 30, to
a year in county jail on a
charge growing out of a phony
check scheme.
Yazum, who had been living
in the Chi ca go area, was
ordered returned to Columbus,
Ohio, where!' he was wanted
for violating parole from a car
theft sentence.
Detective Sgt. Martin Conroy
of Skok i e said Yazum had
admitted cashing more than
25 checks in a spree that extended to Columbus, Detroit
and St. Louis.
Conroy said Yazum passed
three worthless checks at
Field's stores - in one case

QUICK STREET HELP HELD POSSIBLE
$Mill ion Stree t Proiect
May Start Imm edia tely
There is a strong possibility that Skokie officials will
undertake a million dollar street paving and lighting project,
embracing virtually the entire village, far sooner than norm
ally could be expected ..
"That would me~n immediately," said a village board
source.
The VILLAGE R has learned that meetings are going
on between village representatives and a bonding firm to
determine the feasibility of a bond issue to raise money right
away for such a program.
Two big parts of the program would be the complete paving and widening of Church and
Main streets, both of which arc
east-west thoroughfares , the entire
width of the village. Traffic on
these streets is heavy.
Church St. would have four
lanes and Main Sc. six.
In addition, complete "lighting up" projects would be started
immediately on Main St. and six
other heavily-trave led thorough fares: Dempster Sc., Niles Center
Rd., Lincoln Ave., Skokie Blvd.,
Crawford Ave. and Simpson St.
Generally, the street lighting program would cover most of the
distances these thoroughfare s traverse within the village.
Present street lighting and
improvement funds come out of
the village's share of motor fuel
tax funds. The current annual
figure is estimated at about $225,
000.
Money from this source was
used for the Oakton St. widening
and lighting project.
If a bond issue is proved
feasible, and Skokie officials go
ahead with the program, $100 ,000
yearly would be set aside to retire
the bonds. The rest of the fuel
tax money would go into the con tinuing road repair and lighting
program.
While details of the discussions with the bond firm were not
disclosed, key village officials ob-
Fred Wakefield
viously arc impatient with the
slowness of the present prcgram.
Queried about the matter,
trustee Fred Wakefield said:
"We need these improvement s
immediately. Skokie is growing so
fast we simply can't keep up with
our lighting and street upkeep
needs under present limitations.
Something has got to be done."
He pointed out that Main
Street, especially, presents a big
problem. This prime four-lane
road is divided most of its distance from the east edge of the
village, McCormick Blvd., to the
western side, Gross Point Rd., by;

Thanks Townsh ip
For Enthusiasm
This first issue of the
Villager represents the materialization of a dream ... a dream
shared by Villager executives
for many years ... a dream of a
weekly suburban news magazine with a genuine appeal
through quality.
The
Villager is quality
through and through. We believe we have given you a
truly unique news magazine
the finest publication of its
kind anywhere in the world.
We spent months gathering
statistical information before
selecting Niles Township as
the Villager's home.
We have spent thousands
of dollars on promotion to
put our proposition before you
a graveled median strip.
Said Wakefield:
"Heavy traffic is constant on
the road and in warm weather dust
from the gravel strip settles over
nearby neighborhoods. With parking allowed on either side, a tremendous traffic problem is created.
The situation needs immediate
remedy."
Herc is the order of priority
for the street lighting projects:
1. Dempster St., from Edens
Highway to McCormick Btvd.
2. Niles Center Rd., from
Lincoln Ave. to Harvard Terrace
and from Lincoln Ave. to M:iin Sc.
3. Lincoln Ave., from Main
St. to Niles Center Rd.
4. Skokie Blvd., from Oakton St., to Harrison St.
5. Main St., from McCormick Blvd. to Gross Pt. Rd.

THE ALL-NEW 'VILLAGER' ARRIVES
Editor - Publis her Brana gan
Gives News paper 's Obiec tives
by
Newspaper men seldom have the opportun ity, or the
inclination , to become personally interested in the stories
they write. This 1s one of the unfortunate byproducts of
the profession.
The objective viewpoint dominates a good newsman's
thinking. He finds himself separating himself, as a human
being, from his subject
matter. He is detached, even
disinterest ed. Persons and
events he writes about tend
to fall into certain familiar
patterns that he reports
methodical ly, impersonal ly.
1. A publication serving this
community. Our sole purpose is
is to cover Niles Towpship. We
are not interested in neighboring
areas, except where events in
these areas have some bearing
on our community. This is our
home community. We must report
what is going on here.
2. The second word, news,
speaks for itself, I believe.
This is our lifeblood. News is
our product. It is what we sell.
Our pages must be timely, informative, worthwhile.
3. The third word, magazine,
brings in a con c e pt that is
unusual in the newspaper publishing field. The Villager is
attemptin g to weld the
traditional n e w s p a p er and
magazine approaches to the
presentation of informati on
about our community. We don't
know of any other newspaper,
w eek l y or daily, that has

Tom Branagan
Now, for the first time in my
rife, my byline is going on a
story which interests me vitally.
That is because it is a story
about my newspape r, my
friends, myself.
This is the first i s sue of
The Villager. I am its editor
and publisher. I hope with all
my heart that it will be a good
newspaper- -even, in its small
way, a great one.
So J.am writing about it. I'il
try to write the story like any
other, although I'm sure that,
in this case, it's impossible
for me to be c o mp l e t e l y
objective.
Elsewhere in this opening
issue you' 11 find a profile of
the editor and publisher by one
of his friends, Jim Hurlbut.
That account won't be entirely
objective either - going overboard in the charity department,
I'm afraid - but it will give a
rough idea of who Branagan is.
I refer you to it.
Now, what is The Villager?
The Villager, as I and my asso·
ciates define it, is a community
news magazine. Those three
words, community news magazine, are important.
They connote three separate
ideas:
Retail Business
Skokie is one of three north
suburbs showing the greatest increase in retail business during
1957, according to sales tax collection figures. The others are
Norridge and Rolling Meadows.
Skokie was 'way out in front
in the matter of dollars collected
for the 2.5 per cent sales and use
taxes. It took in $2,204,930- an
amazing 78 per cent hike.
Only bigger Evanston did
better. Evanston's share was $2,
929,025-bu t this represented a
drop of $·64,000, or 2 per cent,
from 1956.
Norridge increased its collections by 170 per cent-to $452,
890, while Rolling Meadows was
up 110 per cent, to $104,872.
The figures are based on a
state revenue department tabulation.
Recom mend Golf Range
Be Zoned For Sltop Center
Rezoning an 18-acre Chicago
tract adjoining the southeast corner of Lincolnwood has been recommended by a Chicago city
council con;imittee but not the
way the ward's alderman wants it.
Owners of the triangular
parcel, now a golf driving range
bounded by Devon, Lincoln, and
McCormick, first mentioned plans
for a big shopping center on the
property, then in December announcd plans for a 2 million
dollar hotel.
Either may be constructed
under rezoning recommended by
the council building and zoning
committee.
The committee supported the
petition of Devon Golf Links,
Inc., 3301 Devon, a corporation
identified as owner of che tract,
to change the zoning from R-4
residential to B.5 general service
district.
Aid. Seymour Simon ( 40th)
wanted a change to B-3 general
retail district. But the committee
voted against his proposed ordinance for a smaller type of business classification.
where the mag a z in e concept
MARTIN PHOTO
THOMAS E. BRANAGAN
attempted this on an issue-toissue basis.
Our first obligation, of course,
is to report the news - not the
news as we see it, but as it is.
Our aim is full and objective
coverage. That means we're
responsible for all the news,
and all sides of the news.
Our secondary obligation is
to present this news in an
interesting manner. Our copy
must be highly readable, and
attractively laid out. This is
should be most noticeable. We
intend to use a lot of pictures
in big displays to illustrate
not only the day-to-day hard
news of the community but the
interesting feature material .we
find around us as well.
And, of course, the entire
format of The Villager leans
more to magazine style than
newspaper style. You'll notice
the paper we use is far above
the ordinary newsprint stock.
Our type faces are of the most
modem design. On our staff
are a photo editor and an art
director whose primary duties
are to see to it that The Villager
is the most attractiv e publication of its kind anywhere.

in the first day of the "You Auto Buy" promotio n
his sales increase d 40 per cent over the previous
Saturday .
Similarly , Peter Epsteen Pontiac on Lincoln
Ave. said the opening day, Saturday , brought a
60 per cent increase in sales.
Leo C. Koertgen , Epsteen ' s general manager,
was optimisti c that his salesmen would deveiop
an even greater volume as the campaign progressed.
Checks at Mancuso Chevrole t, Inc ., Fergus
Ford, Skokie Valley Motor Sales Co., Lehigh
Auto Sales Co. and Gerald Motors, LincolnMercury dealer, also sh.owed sales holding up
well.
But in addition to immedia te sales, the promotion obviousl y had inspired a lot of "looking "
interest, too. Many persons, not ready to buy
immediat ely, were thronging dealers' showroom s
to eye the new models. The campaign gave them
a chance to window shop for the future. This
also was consider ed a most couragin g sign by
the dealers.

DEDICATE DEVONSHIRE CENTER
Picton Asks
Skokians to
'Use it Well'
The Devonshire Park Community Recreation Center was
dedicated in c ere monies
witnessed by 300 Skokie residents Sunday - and one of its
chief architects urged people
to use it fully.
Owen J. Picton, a G.D.
Searle & Co. executive, was
the principal speaker during a
program in the center's auditorium.
Picton directed the public
relatio11s program for a Skokie
Park District master plan
called for a $1,755,000 expenditure in buying and
improving 16 additional park
sites, improving 10 others
already in existence, and
construction of twin outdoor
pools and the comm u n it y
center.

"There can be no value

residents might "look at it
with pride in accomplishmen t"
but ''most of all, utilize it,
don't j u s t s h o w it off to
people."
Picton said he realized that
the referendum imp o s e d a
heavy burden on taxpayers but
that obviously residents were
willing to shoulder it . He
pointed out that the referendum
carried 2 to 1.
He add e d that the first
consideration of park com-
missioners was that facilities
should be ''taken to the people
rather than have residents
travel long distances to existing parks."
In providing the center and
other recreational area, Picton
said, ''Skokie proved that it
was a real community with
people interested and willing
to work toward a common goal,
to improve their way of life
and their surroundings.''
Robert W. Ruhe , superintendent of parks and recreation, also spoke briefly,
pointing out that 50 civic,
fraternal and social groups
already had applied for use at
various times of the center's
f~cilities .
These include several
meeting rooms, a game room,
arts and crafts room, lounge,
patio and kitchen facilities.
The center will be open days
and some evenings.
Rube thanked Skokie
residents and members of the
Board of Park Commissioners
for providing the new center
and pledged:
"The park staff's ultimate
goal will be in meeting any
a d di ti on al needs that are
believed to be for the best
in ter e st of the community as
our population continues to
soar.''

HERE TO STAY
The pages of this, our birth-wee k issue, carry what might
seem an immodest amount of material on the VILLAGER and the
personali ties who have made this publicatio n possible.
We assure you this will be our last attempt to blow our
own horn so loudly.
But frankly, we consider that the VILLAGER itself is making
news on this 17th day of April, 1958.
New ventures in communit y publicati ons are rare. Occasionall y you notice the ownershi p of an existing newspape r
has been changed; more often, of some sort of consolida tion.
The number of newspape rs in this country has been decreasing steadily for the last 50 years or more.
So we know that in publishin g circles, at least, our debut
will be closely studied. Newspap er people will be wondering
if, in this day of high costs, it really can be done: if you
can start from scratch, overcome tremendo us financing and
productio n problems and come up with a sound and worthwhile publicatio n. Some will wish us Godspeed , others early
demise. Still others will simply shake their heads and say
it can't be done.
This first issue is proof that it can be done. The VILLAGER
never would have gone to press were we not assured of continuing good health. We have generated a tremendo us amount
of interest- interest that obviously is of a positive nature,
else our advertisin g pages would be bare, our subscript ion
list scrawny.
We know that the VILLAGER' S very newness makes it an
object of attention. And we realize that we must prove our
right to continued attention.
Our subseque nt issues must be equally interestin g. We
fully intend that they shall be.
i---------------------------------------------
Subscribers' Suggestions
received some
man-size assignment s from Niles
iownship residents who, along
with their subscriptio ns, submitted
their ideas on what the new newspaper should contain.
The suggestions were jotted
down in a space provided for
them in a brochure and subscription card circulated throughout
the township prior co chis first
issue.
One of the most thoughtprovoking consisted of only two
words: "The truth."
Others ranged from a "Voice
of the People" column to a section on college students.
Here are some of the suggestions:
Hope Branagan applies the
techniques learned in MacDougall's Medill classes-to interpret
the real issues of the commtmity
-go beyond the surface facts.
We should see our area's problems as part of the larger metropolitan area. We're hoping for a
vigorous editorial palicy. School
consolidati on, zoning policy, etc.
Gardening, home decorating .
Would like to know more
about Skokie administra tion and
its doings and problems and
Sewers over flooding, etc. Corrections.
Local news.
Have a Voice of the People
column. Good luck.
Give agenda of Village Council meetings and report fully on
same. List trustees' votes on all
issues. List a directory of Village
officers {officials) and their duties
so citizens can contact the proper
person with problems and complaints.
I feel the industrial section
in our locality has not had proper
coverage to date in the other
local papers.
!HE VILLAGER
HISTO RY NEED ED HERE
Setting up shop in recent weeks, it occurred to us that we
were hazy about the history of Niles Township and its villages,
and we felt somewha t guilty about it. So we dedicated a
couple of days to looking into this matter.
We have to confess we didn't get very far. We found no
historica l societies in the communit y. The various libraries
had little to offer.
After considera ble inquiry, we have learned that the only
really thorough history of our communit y is in Tomahaw k,
Wis., - in the unedited papers compiled by Mrs. Bertha M.
Rosche.
Mrs. Rosche is the retired Skokie public librarian. We
talked with her by telephone and found her alive with information about the area's early days. During her career here,
she had been one of the two persons who have taken the
trouble to research and compile little booklets on the background on the township or any of its villages. The other is
Art Loutsch, the township collector , who has an interestin g
but admittedl y sketchy collectio n of essays on Morton Grove's
early days.
Mrs. Rosche' s booklet is a brief backgroun d story on
Skokie, and there is only one copy of it. She wrote it mainly
for the use of Cub Scouts.
So the history of this section hangs on a slender thread whether or not Mrs. Rosche can find time to make some sort
of manuscri pt of the hundreds of papers and document s she
has assemble d.
We think she should be encourag ed. Accordin gly, we made
an arrangem ent to look over a summary of her propose d
history. We then asked her to submit regular articles on
various phases of this history. We'll try to illustrate them
with early photograp hs, as they are made available to us by
townsh ip oldtimers , or by sketches prepared by our art
director, Sam Brown.
Meantime , we suggest that one of our enterpris ing ci vie,
fraternal or social groups might find it a most worthwhi le
project to sponsor Mrs . .Rosche in compiling and publishin g
her history.
It is a shame that neither our township nor any of its
villages has a worthy history of itself. We owe it to those
who will follow us to at least set down the record.
PubUshing requests for .zoning variations in the village.
You might have a dept. for
news bits about college students
from the township- organized
instead of spread through woman's pages as in some papers.
Follow school activities to
help keep the people informed.
Zoning data analysis, J. P.
and Police Magistrate Ct. coverage. What's going on in the
Editorials down-toCouncil?
ear'th with a punch!
It's now ice-cream time.

missed a suit filed by frank J.
Romano, Jr., 6725 N. Drake,
Lincolnwood, defeated m the
April, 1957, election, to regain
office. The suit attackea the qualifications of Krantz, one of five
justices of the peace elected.
Judge McKinlay disagreed
with Romano's contention that a
JP c.mdidate must reside at least
one year in the township before
the election. The judge said the
law wasn't clear on this point,
adding:
"\Vhere people have voted
for a man, it seems to me his
election should not be set aside on
a doubtful question."
Romano filed the appeal, alleging that Krantz resided at
6615 Kolmar, Lincolnwood, less
than one year before the election.
Two of the projects were
confirmed in County court in
1927 and the third in 1928, the
suit saiq.
It identified the tirst two and
their warrant numbers as No. 144

When contacted by a reporter

"If you are going to print the

today.
Where before a blond would
think twice before wearing a
bright yellow, and a red-head
would rather die than be caught
wearing anything that even
smacks of orange, today, anything goes.
Such glittering names as
tangerine, persimmon, mango,
coral and hot orange are finding
their way into dresses, coats,
millinery. Even jewelry and
accessories are coming in for
their share of color.
These colors can be used in
solids or in prints.
Straw millinery is particularly attractive in these new
shades.
Jewelry is bigger and broader
than ever. The simple chemise
gets an added touch of glamour
with the use of bold jewelry,
large, flat handbags, and scarves
and belts.
Hosiery is on the market in
these new, brilliant colors.
The woman who always felt
black hose was flattering to
her leg, yet hesitated to wear
it because it "just wasn't being
done,'' can now indulge to her
leg's content.
Stockings are being featured
in shades of peach, apricot,
melon, persimmon, as well as
as the off-grays, blues and
black.
With the shorter skirts, and
colored hosiery, a lot more

Born with all the odds against them, about 40 children are alive
and healthy today through the surgical skill of Dr. Thomas G.
Ba/Jes, 34, Skokie, Ill.
Working as pn individual , Dr. Ba/Jes developed the first sur•
gical correction of one of the types of "blue baby" conditions
known as transposit ion of the great vessels of the heart.
Prior to Dr. Ba/Jes' research, babies born with this congenita l
disorder were doomed. Their two main arteries coming off the
heart are reversed and as a result impure blood fails to get to the
lungs and the baby's skin takes on a bluish tinge.
Dr. Ba//es corrects the condition by creating a similar reverse
system in the veins returning the blood to the heart.

·· Reprinted from Future,
a publicatio n of the U. S. Junior
Chamber of Commerce .
The foregoing passage appeared shortly after Dr. Baffes, son of
Greek immigrant s, was chosen one of the ten outstandin g young
men in the United States. - responsib le for one of the truly significant scientific achieveme nts 'of our time.
The award is given annually by the Jaycees to men between the
ages of 21 and 35 on the basis of an outstandin g contributio n to
their profession and to the general welfare . It was presented to
Baffles recently at a banquet in Phoenix , Ariz.
Winners received silver trophies in the form of two open hands,
symbolizin g the inscription "the hope of mankind lies in the hands
of youth and action . ''
Value of Baffes' new technique is inestimab le. Not only are 38
once-doom ed babies alive and healthy today, but the operation
will save the lives of countless others in the future.
Baffes has offices at the Main Medical Center, 4055 Main Street,
with Dr. Phyllis Schlotterb eck, and is on the staffs of Children's
Memorial, Swedish Covenant, and Lutheran General hospitals. He
is also on the surgery teaching staff of Northwest ern University 's
School of Medicine. He is a Tulane graduate.
Working with Dr. Willis J . Potts at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago since 1951, Dr. Baffes found himself in an ideal
situation for research on his so-called transposit ion technique,
conducting 60 operations on children with defective hearts. Of
this total, 38 today are normal, healthy youngster s - - an amazing
record for an operation so complex and delicate.
Baffes' first such operation was in 1955, after about 250 experiments proving its workabilit y . The youngest of his patients is six
weeks old, and the oldest is 12 years .
On their honeymoon recently, Dr. and Mrs. Baffes visited two
children in Toronto, Canada, on whom he had successfu lly oper·
ated. He was pleased to note that the youngster s were ruddycheeked and active .
Mrs. Baffes is the former Mary Lou Amann, of Park Ridge, Ill.,
a nurse at Children's Memorial. They were married Feb. 23 and
live at 3615 Main St. in Skokie.
Although winning the 1957 "outstand ing" award has been a
pleasant surprise for the doctor, he is by no means resting on his
laurels. He already is hard at work on a second stage of his "blue
baby" work, hoping to further advance the ratio of successfu l
operations .

'Reat BARGAIN
A $70,000 rebate is sought in a Superior court suit from Skokie on
three special assessment projects approved in the late 1920s when the
village was known as Niles Center.
Niles Center collected upwards of $300,000 in special assessments
to pay for the projects but not all of that money was spent, according
to the suit filed by Attorney Herbert Lesser.
The petition filed in the Chicago court asserted a surplus of about
$70,000 is left and asked the court to order the money refunded to those
who paid it.

Florence Rantz, secretary and unofficial
hostess-the only woman working in
Skokie's modern police station
by Fron Mills
Any woman would enjoy a stay in jail, at least
a brief one, if all jails were like Skokie's.
The Skokie jail is home - at least during
working hours - for one woman: Mrs Florence
Rantz, of 7931 Kedraly, Skokie secretary to
Chief William C. Griffin, confidante of virtually
every officer in the department (that means she
has about 50 "buddies") and an efficient gal
who by now really knows her way around law
enforcement circles.
Keeping secretarial tab on a fifty-man police force
is a big part of her job. Florence spends most of
her day in an attractive reception room adjoining
Chief Griffin's office.
The firing range is a perfect enviroment for a potential "Annie Oakley", and Florence carefully
checks her marksmanship.
Florence views a "suspect" and officer Emil
Leichtenberg through the two-way glass in
the detective bureau's identification room.
Only Woman
Florence is convinced she has one of the
most desirable jobs in the world - and not only
because she is the only female among half a
hundred males.
The police building is, architecturally, the
essence of modem planning. Its design, its
appointments are truly beautiful - the whole
concept of the building creating a sense of rest
and calmness that is a far cry from a jail, as we
normally think of it - and as it normally is.
If a girl had wandered from the straight and
narrow she would find a night in the womens
lockup, if not pleasant, at least quite comfortable.
The iron bars have the luster of black licorice;
the grey and white striped mattresses on the
double deck bunks are enclosed in plastic
covers, and a female prisoner could find at least
some solace in a foam rubber pillow in a plastic
pillow case.
The building was dedicated last summer and
Florence has been in it ever since, She doesn't
find it a bit confining.
Part of her job is to escort visiting police
dignitaries - and they come from all over the
With the lights on in the identification room,
Florence shows how the two-way glass becomes a convenient mirror.
world - on tours of the building, which has a
wide reputation for incorporating all the latest
thinking in what a modern jail should be.
Here are other features she finds interesting
in her surroundings:
A room equipped with a one way glass, similiar
to the one used in the building's showup room,
could prove a valuable vantage point for a mother
wanting to keep an eye on children around the
house. In this room the suspect is unaware he
is being observed, heard, and possibly identified
by an unseen witness, on the other side.
The huge combination air conditioning and
heating system keeps the two-story building
comfortable throughout the year.
Basement Firing Range
The basement firing range would please any
"Annie Oakley". Light green, insulated walls
muffle sound. And safety partitions, on either
side of the target range eliminate the possibility
of stray bullets harming anyone.
Wood-paneled walls give the spacious secondfloor courtroom a dignified and restful atmosphere.
Comfortable olive green theater-type seats make
a long court session more comfortable.
The building's garage doors are equiped with
a special safety device. As a sliding garage
door decends, an electronic mechanism {lrevents
it from striking anything underneath. A gentle
tap on the head, or the roof of your car, reminds
you to move on.
As a home planned for the growing family
allows for expansion, the Skokie Police Station
is designed to fulfill the needs of ever-growing
Skokie.
Behind a wide walnut desk, Police Chief William C. Griffin examines
the morning mail. Cocco tan walls and limed oak woodwork accentuate
the lightness and spaciousness of the room.

There are few signs of economic recession
in Niles Township, despite gloomy reports from
some areas of Illinois and the nation.
A VILLAGER survey shows that layoffs in
Skokie, Niles, Lincolnwood and Morton Grove
plants have been few. True, some plants have
shortened the work week or eliminated overtime.
But the specter of widespread unemployme nt
has not threatened ' this bustling area.
A factor which will provide an upbeat for the
local economy lies in the plans of at least 10
major firms which are building new plants in
these suburbs. Thousands of additional workers
will either be moving into the area or will be
hired from the labor force already available here.
Plants which were operating in the Skokie
Valley a year ago report higher total employment
today than at the same time last year, and new
firms have added to that figure ·so that approximately 5,000 more persons are employed in
industry alone here than were on payrolls in
April, 1957.
These figures were supplied by Gene Denning,
manager of the Skokie Valley Industrial Association, who reported that local industry "optimistic
about a business upturn, say three months
hence,"

Built-in Resistance
Denning suggested that the Skokie Valley
possesses built-in recession resistance by
virtue of the wide diversificati on of types of
business and industrial operations here.
The area is not dependent on one or two kinds
of industry, as is Detroit, for instance. While
no heavy manufacturin g is done in the Valley,
there is considerabl e light manufacturin g, assembly and packaging; research; insurance;
cosmetics; pharmaceuti cals; plastics, and many
other types of business activiry. Generally
speaking, these firms aren't suffering.
Layoffs have been small compared to other
areas. Denning has visited some 75 plants in
the last few weeks and reports that "the picture
shows that we are better off here than in many
other places.''
A survey shows {bad news first):
Vapor Heating Co., 6420 Howard St., Niles-About 70 persons were laid off in January out
of a total work force of approximate ly 760, but
the company plans to rehire them if a business
upturn warrants it. There has been no cutback
.in the regular 38-3/4 hour work week.
A. B. Dick Co., 5700 Touhy Ave., Niles-"We have had minor downward adjustments in
our work schedule."
Ditto, Inc., 6800 McCormick Blvd., Lincolnwood--Pos sibly 5 to 6 per cent of the labor
force of 600 has been laid off over, a period of
•ime, but there has been no cut in the 40-hour
work week.
James P. Marsh Corp., 3501 Howard St.,
Skokie--Som e 10 per cent of the work force
has been laid off between last August and the
present, and overtime has been eliminated. The
600 current employes work a 40-hour week.
Report Busiest Months Ahead
Another firm, which employs some 700 persons,
declined to be identified but reported that "a
few" workers have been laid off and overtime
has been discontinued . A spokesman said that
while orders and sales are not equal to last year
"we certainly are not panicky." This firm's
busiest months lie just ahead and the company
is optimistic that an improvemen t in its business
is imminent:
Still another concern, which also asked
anonymity, reported that it laid off slightly more
than 100 of its 1,000-plus factory employes
several weeks ago. It also has reduced overtime
considerably , but has not shortened its 40-hour
week.
Now for the good news:
G. D. Searle and Co., Searle Parkway, Skokie-"The recession hasn't affected our company
one bit," a spokesman reported. "We have not
had any layoffs--as a matter of fact, this
company has never
had any layoffs in
the 16 years we
have been in Skokie.
We
occasionally
have a certain
amount of normal
overtime in various
depa.r tments,
and
that is continuing.
We anticipate that
our normal growth
will continue."
Bell and Gossett
Co., 8200 Austin
Blvd., Morton Grove
---There have been
no
layoffs in the
force of some 925 persons, and all employes
are working regular hours. · Some overtime work
has been available to shop employes recently.
Bell and Howell, 7100 McCormick Blvd.,
Lincolnwoo d--T he firm has had "virtually no
more layoffs than are seasonally normal" and
the work week remains unchanged. The first two
.months saw an increase in sales over the same
two months last year.
Cook Technologic al Center, 6401 Oakton
Blvd., Morton Grove--A spokesman said "the
total labor force is stag•
nant." There have been
a very few layoffs of certain types of engineering
personnel, but these have
been offset by hiring of
other types of engineers.
The company was forced
by government "stretchout" policy last summer
to
eliminate overtime
work, but its 850 employes can count on a regular
40-hour. week.
New Plants Coming
Millions of dollars will be spent this year on
new plants in the Skokie Valley.
'f el et y p e Corporation, which now houses
some of its force at 5701 Touhy Ave., Niles,
is in the midst of a building program which
eventually wiU move its Chicago- centered
operations almost wholly to this area. In addition
to its present factory building, Teletype plans
to construct two research buildings and an administration building. When the work is
comp I et e d, the company's Skokie Va 11 e y
employes will have increased from the more than
1,000 now working here to around 4,700 .
Other plans show Revere Electric Co, moving
into Niles, General Bandage Co. into Morton
Grove, Croname, Inc., to Niles, Internationa l
Minerals and Chemical Corporation moving its
headquarter s from Chicago to Skokie, ParkeDavis Pharmac euticals building a 1500,000
branch office and warehouse in Skokie, Standard
Rate and Data Service of Evanston building a
new plant in Skokie at a cost of more than
11,000,000, Salerno-Meg owan Biscuit Co. coming
into Niles, Chrysler Corp. building its midwest
training center in Skokie, and Allstate Insurance
Co. erecting a new building to house its regional
office in Skokie (supplement ing its pres.ent
home office on Skokie Blvd.)
Bell and Howell, which completed an addition
to its plant last year, is vacating 50,000 square
feet of space there so it can use it for assembly

Marshall Field & Co. at Old
Orchard was represented in both
years' figures. The Chamber said
that total Skokie retail sales
volume increased in a year's
time by $2,415,400.
Morton Grove's Chamber of
Commerce also reports an upward
sales trend. Sales tax collected
there in January, 1958, was
S31,616 compared with 127,860
in the same month in 1957. The
Morton Grove Chamber said
merchants experienced a normal
slow period early in Lent, but
that customers were showing no
recession-fri ght.
The Skokie Federal Savings
and Loan association reported
that "there might be an abnormal
inflow" of savings, and that the
demand for mortgage loans is
down from last year's volume,
but added that ''perhaps it is a
healthy process until we see
exactly where the economy is
going.''
However, the First National
Band of Skokie said that its
savings deposits are ''holding
their own" in view of the fact
that three new in s t i t u ti o n s
competing with the bank have
opened
recently.
"Savings

Rock Hudson's "home away from home."

Jamie. And the family dog provides amusement.

Rock Hudson may be the idol of millions, but
to Jim and Gloria Matteoni of8303 Merrill, Niles,
he's just an easy-going, likeable guy - their
best friend.
Rock and Jim were classmates at New Trier
High School. They shared the same interests in
sports, and music and even dated the same group
of girls.
When Gloria first met Rock shortly before she
married Jim, she found an unusually good looking
fellow, rather shy, and completely untouched by
the fame that already was coming his way.
Even then, Rock was tall and broad shouldered,
and attracting admiring glances.
Jim Matteoni and Rock Hudson always have
enjoyed fooling with the piano together. Jim is
an instructor in music in Arlington Heights and
says that Rock is quite a pianist himself.
Rock is a boy at heart. There have been many
stories written about this popular movie star,
but none ever mentioned the time Rock ran barefooted in the snow down the street while playing
a game of tag.
When Gloria and Jim lived in a small apartment
in Evanston before moving to their home in Niles
a year and a half ago, Jim and Rock would think
nothing of carrying on their boyhood tag game up
and down the three floors of the apartment
building.

When Rock Hudson visits this part of the
country, he could have the most lavish hotel
room at his disposal. He prefers the warm,
simple home of the Matteoni family.
He's quite content to make his bed on the
living room sofa, or even a mattress on the floor
as he often did when Jim and Gloria lived in
their apartment.
Away from the glamour and the crowds, it is
with his closest friend, Jim Matteoni, that Rock
Hudson finds real comfort and contentment.
Jim could have carved quite a niche for himself, had he so desired, along with his friend in
Hollywood.
An accomplished pianist, tall, dark and good
looking, Jim Matteoni was presented with many
movie offers when he visited Rock in Hollywood.
But Jim prefers the quiet, calm, home-life
existence 'to the rush and high. living of movie
land.
Jim enjoys teaching, spending as much time
as possible with his lovely wife and attractive
children, Pam, 7, and Jamie, 3.
It seems ironic that all of the photos of Rock
Hudson that Jim had were taken away by magazines and Rock's studio but the way the
Matteoni's feel about it, Rock's their best
friend, and they don't need photos around to
remind them of that.
What to the Matteoni family is their home, to
movie star Hudson it is a retreat, a place of
loving friendship and comfort.
Rock Hudson may come into town four or five
times a year, but whenever he does, he stays
with the people who truly know him for the
warm, sincere, fun loving boy he is at heart - Jim
and Gloria Matteoni.
�Nation's BE ST Pu g
Lives in Sk ok ie
This is Skokie's national champion pug, Duke,
in the midst of some of the trophies he has collected in a whirlwind rise to the pinnacle of
success. Duke looks a little worried- but that's
his usual expression. The deep wrinkles in his
brow are a feature of his breed, and their contour
figures in judging. Anyway, Duke needn't worry:
his owner, Gordon Winders, is the one who has
to keep all that brass and silver polished.
There's a young fellow living over at 9229
Harding St. in Skokie who should be the envy of
every other male in the country.
He's been cuddled dose to a variety of
famous bosoms, ranging from Sophie Tucker's
truly monumental structure to those of the
glamorous Lena Horne and the Duch es s of
Windsor.
This c e 1 e brat e d gent is none other than
Champion Blaylock's Mar-Ma-Duk e, a two-yearold pug owned by Gordon Winders. At home in
Skokie, he's known simply as "Duke."
Duke is the finest pug in the United States
- perhaps in the world. He recorded more firstprize awards in 1957 than any other member of
the breed and is 'way out in front in the 1958
kennel sweepstake s.
So far he's accumulated more than 50 trophies.
The record includes two best-in-show awards,
an amazing accomplishm ent for one of the less
popular breeds. He has been adjudged best of
breed in no fewer than 35 dog shows and has
won 15 toy group firsts. One of his best-of-bree d
wins was at the famed Internationa l Kennel Club.
He was featured on the cover of the March
issue of Dog World - dogdom' s journal of authority. He rated this honor for winning the top award
Feb. 9 at the specialty show of the Pug Dog
Club of America in New York.
It was there that the glamorous dolls of the
internationa l set - many of them pug owners
themselves - stood in line to fondle Duke. He's
got pictures - one of which is reproduced in The
Villager - to prove it.
For owner Winders, Duke's achievemen ts
culminate a comparative ly brief but dedicated
period of work with pugs.
Here owner Winders poses proudly in his home
with Duke, right, and a somewhat suspicious
"Meegee," at left. Meegee has attained some
glory herself in the show field, but males normally dominate these exhibitions.
I
A dog's life? Not so bad, judging from this photograph. Here Duke is shown in a lap of luxuryLena Horne's. That fellow on the right is owner
Winders. Lena, a pug owner herself, simply had
to snuggle Duke at a recent New York show.
Winders bought his first pug only four years
ago. A female, her name is Toya. She still presides over the family menagerie , although
outclassed - show-wise, at least - by a lateracquired bitch, Meegee.
Winders got into the show-dog field mostly by
chance. He saw Toya, fell in love with her and,
after buying her, became so enamored of the
breed in general that he felt he simply had to
promote it. Now, of course, he 1s considered an
expert oil pugs.
Why the devotion?
"Well, you can't really explain it," says
Winders, "anymore than you can explain why
you perfer golf to tennis, or being a salesman
rather than an office worker. It's simply a feeling
you have.
"So I can't be truly objective. For what it's
worth, I consider the pug is more dog per pound
than any other. (Incidentall y, they average about
18 pounds in weight.)
''They are a companion dog - gregarious and
affectionate - and the keenest watchdog of them
all. They have an acute hearing facility that
enables them to sound an alarm faster than any
other breed.''
The breed originated in the Far East, but was
popular in Europe in Napoleon's time. Then, as
now, ladies had an irrestible urge to cuddle
pugs.
"As a matter of face," says Winders," the
famous Josephine of France had 15 pugs, one of
which slept with her. An historian has recorded
the point that Napoleon objected to this."
What's , a dog like Duke worth? Winders says
he was offered $5,000 for Duke a few months
ago. And without batting an eye he'll tell you
he didn't even consider the bid.
Present-day owners of pugs include the Misses
Tucker and Horne, the Duke and Duchess of
Windsor, journalist and TV personality Dorothy
Kilgallen and actor Rex Harrison. Miss Home
has three pugs and the Duke and Duchess four.
A Villager reporter can testify to the dog's
appealing nature. When we were in Duke's home,
we struck up an immediate friendship and had

"May I take a sample of the tap
water in your home?" says
Henry Weber, Village public
works superintendent. The homeowner is Mrs. S. A. Engwall of
8020 Lockwood, Skokie.
Filling out ttJe form to be mailed
with the sample, Weber makes
certain all detailed information
is correct.
Using the special container,
Weber obtains another water
sample at 5 25 3 Cleve land in
Skokie.
The next time you answer your doorbell and
find a man standing at the door, he may not be a
salesman. He could be the village water commissioner or one of his assistants checking the
community's water supply.
For example, once a month a member of the
Skokie public works department secures water
samples from four different residences, chosen
at random. This is required by state law.
Water samples, in special sterilized containers,
are mailed to the county health department offices
in Chicago. Test results are sent 1:0 the state
health department in Springfield.
Skokie residents have a double check on the
purity of their water.
Once a week the Evanston water department,
conducts its own laboratory analysis.
In his office at Skokie's Village
Hall, Weber packs the samples.
They are promptly mailed to
assure the most accurate laboratory analysis.

Fashion Parade
Every Sunday
An extremely attractive family are Mr. and Mrs . Skip Nelson,
5415 Reba, Morton Grove, u,;ith daughter Pat, 16, left, and son
Skip, Jr ., right . Directly in front of Pat are Vickie, 7, and Cristine, 3. The Nelsons give graphic evidence that every Sunday
is indeed fashion time for Niles Township residents.
by Sheryl Leonard
Sunday morning is fashion
time for many of Niles Township church goers.
It is at this time that the
whole family has an opportunity to shine in all of their
finery.
Especially during the spring
and summer months, when
heavy coats are shed, one gets
an attractive picture of what
residents wear to church.
In the accompanying photos,
our cameraman caught some of
these families early one
Sunday morning.
Rain No Deterent
What mother wouldn't be as happy and proud of her lovely family
as Mrs. Harry G. Johnson, 5808 Madison, Morton Grove, is of
hers? Karen, 8, left, and Gretchen, 6, vie for attention with
their brother, Kenneth, 12.
Although the day was
slightly cool with occassional
showers, new straw bonnets
and spring finery were very
much in evidence.
Mr. and Mrs . William Dahm,
and their youngsters, of 5234
Brown, Skokie, were captured
by the cam er am an as they
prepared to encer St. Peter's
Catholic Church m Skokie.
Mrs. Dahm , a tall, attractive
brunette, wore a beige wool
dress , with black topper. Her
simple pink hat had a single
jeweled rhinestone pin on it.
White gloves, black suede
pumps, and a lovely gardenia
completed her costume.

Pamela and Rosemary wore
wool toppers over their dresses

Mrs. William Dahm, 5234 Brown, Skokie, with their youngsters,

with white breton hats . All
wore white gloves and black
patent leather pumps.
Little Bruce, although only
19 month s old, was a real
fashion plate in his eton suit
and cap and white socks and
shoes.
Another attractive family
picture was presented by Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph G. Stieber,
and son Douglas, 10, of 8663
Gross Point Rd. , Skokie, as
they were leaving St. John's
Lutheran in Lincolnwood.
Mrs. Stieber, a lovely blond,
wore a beige suit, with dark,
ranch mink stole.
Accessories In New Tones
Her hat and gloves were in
the newest of shades, referred
to in fashion circles as "hot
orange."
Young Doug 1 a s was the
epitome of what every well
dressed young man is wearing.
The delightful personaliry of
Mrs. Harry G. Johnson, 5808
Madison, Morton Grove,
sparkled for the cameraman as
she was photographed with her
charming youngsters, Karen, 8 ,
Gretchen, 6, and Kenneth, 12,
as they left the Morton Grove
Community Presbyterian
Church.
A light blue raincoat worn
by Mrs. Johnson picked up one
of the colors of her blue plaid
jacket.
Karen wore a plaid coat, and
Gretchen, a red one, over their
pretry Sunday dresses.
Mrs. Johnson and her
daughters wore white hats and
g 1o v e s to comp 1 et e their
costumes.
Kenneth's finger tip coat,
cap, white shirt and Windsor
tie gave him a jaunty air.
A beautiful and fashionable
family were Mr. and Mrs . Skip
Ne 1 son , 5415 Reba , Morton
Grove, with their youngsters,
Pat, 16, Skip, Jr., 19, Vickie,
7 , and Cristine, 3, as they
paused to pose for the cameraman in front of the Ce n tr a 1
Methodist Church in Skokie.
Looking like a high-fashion
model herself, the very attractive Mrs_ Nelson wore a red
wool suit, with black accessories. A gardenia pinned to
her shoulder added a bright
and warm note.
The younger girls were
dressed alike in white pleated
skirts and navy jackets.
Daughter Pat was attired in a
grey wool coat, white hat with
red trim and gardenia corsage.
Father and son were impeccably attired. Skip Nelson in his
dark overcoat and Homburg had
much competition from Skip, Jr.,
in his light colored raincoat
and new 'college brim' hat.
No Hollywood setting ever held a more attractive trio than Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph G. Stieber, 8663 Gross Point, Skokie, with son,
Douglas, 10.

Unusual placement of
and a meshrubbery
ticulously kept lawn
made the home of Mr.
Deering
Mrs .
and
Carlson the village•
wide award winner in
the Homeowners Contest last year.
According to two of last year's award-winners
in Skokie, the primary asset for a lovely, well
kept lawn is a hard working husband with a
green thumb.
Mrs. Deering Carlson, whose beautiful lawn
at 18 Williamsburg, Skokie, won the village-wide
award in the contest sponsored by the Skokie
Chamber of Commerce last year, gives all of the
credit to her husband.
Of course, the fact that they inherited an
attractive lawn when they moved into their home
three years ago did help, stated Mrs. Carlson.
N eed Year 'Round Care
Deering Carlson, who was raised on a farm,
knows the importance of all year round care for
his grounds.
One mustn't let down even during the winter
in maintenance, and it is important that the
flowers are planted at the right time, according
to Mrs. Carlson.
Weeds, that always present such a problem,
have to be pulled out by hand in order to be
thoroughly removed.
Mrs. Carlson found their underground sprinkler
system proved to be of great help in their winning
of the 1957 award.
Another winner of the 1957 Skokie Chamber of
Commerce Beautification contest was the home
of the Vernon Thompson's, 7140 LeClaire,
Skokie, who won first prize with the Fairview
Property Owners Association.
Here, too, the greatest asset in winning was
a hard working husband.
Mr. Thompson has quite an eye for design as
is evident in the attractive symmetry of the
bushes and shrubbery about their home.
~aintenance, a real enjoyment for working
about the home, and an eye for beauty are what
go into making a prize winning landscape, according to !I.rs. Thompson.
Chamber Contest Starts
This year, the Skokie Chamber of Commerce
again has begun its annual Beautification Contest, which will run from April 15 to July 1.
As in the two previous years, the residential
contest will be conducted through the 13 active
property owner's associations. Last year, 11 of
the groups entered the contest.
Because of the great interest this contest has
generated in the Homeowner' s groups and because Skokie is so very proud of its commercial
and industrial areas as well, the 1958 contest
will expand, with trophies also offered to winning
industries.
In the residential contest, both a first and
second prize will be awarded to winning property
owner's associations. These winners will be
ch o s en by a secret Chamber of Commerce
committee.
Each property group who enters the contest
will be asked to select an individual winner in
its own area.
One trophy will go to an individual in each
group.
Industries Enter, T oo
A committee will be selected to chose the
winners among our 169 Skokie industries.
Winners will be selected on the basis of
general landscaping beauty, originality and
percent of improvement between April 15 and
July 1.
Awards for all classes will be presented
shortly after July 1, 1958. Ray Powroznik, Rader
and Company Builders, is chairman of the 1958
contest with Lou Simons, Diamond Sign Co.,
and C.J. MacKenzie, Shoreline Petroleum Co. on
the committee.
Entry blanks will soon be mailed to all property associations and industries within Skokie.

"The Little Red Schoolhou se" of the Bell & Gossett School of Living Comfort.
A "Little Red Schoolhou se"

business.
The school, s tart e d by
president R. Edwin Moore, is
observing its fourth anniversar y
this month. By coinciden ce, it
also will graduate its 50th
class and its 1000th student.
Moore designed the school
to get over the idea of an actual
classroom situation for men
~ o come from all over the
country for instruction in such
things as the design and layout
of moooflo, two-pipe reverse
return systems, radiant panel,
snow melting, chilled water
etc.. installatio ns.
The building is a replica as Moore remembers it - of the
readin, 'ritin and 'rithmetic
schoolhou ses of years ago. It
is painted red and has a bell
tower.
But inside, things are vastly
different. It is heated and cooled by the latest equipment naturally. And the most modern
audio and visual aids are used.
"Our teachers have nothing
to sell but comfort ," says
Moore, who with understand able
pride is eager to show visitors
to the plant through the quaint
little classroom s.
Adds the B&G president:
"Our graduates now teach
from Maine to California and
from Washingto n to Florida.

KELL Y'S KOR NER
by T WE E D K ELLY
Elsewhere in this issue is a report on the
local Cancer Crusade, but at this point we'd like
ot give the Skokie chairman, Paul F. Beisch of
4835 Hull St., a hearty commendation. Paul,
assistant public relations director of Allstate
Insurance Co., swamped newspaper offices with
excellent publicity material over a six-week
period and succeeded in getting most of it placed.
And there was no fault to find with his organizational program, either. Men like Beisch not
only serve their home communities well, but
emphasize the important part played by clean,
up-to-date industrial installations in the continuing progress of Niles Township.
Most fascinating statement of the week emerged
from one of our distaff editol's who was overheard muttering to another as she waded through
a bale-size stack of copy: "If they'd only give
me a bed pan, I'd never have to leave this desk.''
Group from B&B's 50th class exam;ng pump life cycle test in Resear.ch Building.
These men are experts in the
design of heating and cooling
systems. It is possible to pinpoint their locations just by
the increase in radiant heating
activity.
''Many of them carry on the
school idea in their own companies so that the specialized
training grows and expands
across the country at a remarkable rate. As a result, an
increasing number of people
are able to enjoy the true comfort of properly heated homes
and buildings. To many millions
of Americans it means a more
corpfortable future.
"The proper design and installation of a hot water heating
system is not a job for 'guesstimators.' A man well founded
in the basic concepts of good
engineering is of incalculable
value to himself, his employer
and his custgmer. He is well
equipped to serve each in a
man n er that will generate
confidence, good will and increased sales."
A course for persons in the
industry starts every other week
in the little schoolhouse. It
runs about five days and 1s
limited to 50 students.
Mostly, the students are men
who sell and service Bell &
Gossett equipment. But anyone
in the industry can qualifyexcept, perhaps, B&G competitors.
SERVICE YEARS
Thirty-ti ve years of service
with Illinois Bell Telephone
Company has been marked by
Robert J. Wagner of 7843 N.

second largest port in the world.
Being something of a golf addict - we claim
one of the most enthusiastic tho' less artful
swings - we intend to keep an eye on the only
public course in the township, the· county park
district's Northwestern layout over on Golf Rd.
in Morton Grove. In past years the course has
been in atrocious shape by Mid-June and has
grown increasingly worse as the season progressed. Greens have been allowed to burn out,
tees have become cluttered and bare and the
fairways have turned to stone. There have been
no ball washers, no sand, no water. We suggest
the county commissioners could learn something
about real course upkeep by making a visit to
Milwaukee. Public courses there compare most
favorably with many of our private clubs. And
the fe~ per round - 90 cents - is much lower than
is charged on public courses in Cook County.
In the political give-and-take that's become
a pattern for Skokie, village attorney William M.
Hennessy is a favorite target. Be that as it may,
we only want to mention that we have heard him
in court and in village councils and if there's
another like him when he's on his feet, we have
yet to meet him. For Hennessy handJes the
English language like a master. When he is
making a point, all present get not only a lesson
in legal argument, but in the finer points of
diction as well. If you admire clarity of presentation, logical organization, and an ability to
come up with the word that makes a sentence
forceful, we refer you to the Skokie vi 11 age
attorney.
Incidenta'lly, we checked Hennessy's ·record
since he was appointed about a year ago and
discovered that Skokie's legal department has
an amazing record: it has won 95 per cent of the
cases it has contested. What this means in the
way of savings for taxpayers undoubtedly is
considerable.
If you've wondered how Mayor Frank
St an k ow i c z of Niles keeps getting himself
elected in numerous hard-hitting political battles,
you might take a look at the man today.
A couple of years ago, he was near death after
an automobile hit him at a street corner. He's
been in a wheelchair most of the time since,
while shattered bones have been patched and
wired in a seemingly eddless series of operations.
Through sheer determination, Frank has learned
to walk again - first on crutches, then with a
cane and now only with a brace.
We've learned that the guys who win elections
are the ones who really want to win - in everything they do.

Court Refuses
Slcolcie Man
Building Permit
Skokie has beaten back a
court move that would hav~ directed the village to issue a home
building permit for a 3 0-foot lot
at 9910 Keystone.
A motion by John M. Janecko, the owner, for a summary
decree in the case was denied Friday by Circuit Judge Daniel A.
Roberts. The action means more
court hearings are in store.
The lot is in the highest type
of residential zone set up in the
village zoning ordinance. Skokie
officials arc firmly backing up this
code, which requires a minimum
lot width of 5 5 feet for a single
family residence.
In January, the court granted
Skokie's motion to strike out the
word "fraudulent" from Janecko's
charge that the village zoning
board refusal last year to issue
the permit was "arbitrary, capricious, and fraudulent."
Janecko's attorney, William
Wilson, had alleged he didn't get
a fair hearing before the zoning
board.

Television's "Ho use Party" host, Art Linkletter,
also is a handball devotee. The 44-year-old
entertainer is shown here in action with Skokie ' s
Kendler on the revolutionary glass-enclosed
court at Aurora. Linkletter handled the sportscast for this year's televised national AAU
finals, handball' s "World Se ries," at Aurora.

HEARTY
HANDBALLER
IS BOB KENDLER,
BUILDER AND
TV 'PITCHMAN'
Handball, a game that dates
back to tenth century Ireland,
has made giant strides in the
past decade, thanks largely to
the promotion, enthusiasm - and
financial backing - of Skokie' s
Robert W. Kendler.
"Bob" Kendler is the guy
most readers will recognize as
the president and television
"¢tc.hman" of Community
Builders, 4101 Dempster St.
l}endler' s first love is handball. He s qui rm s when his
associates start discussing golf
or bowling or the other less
strenuous sports. He likes action
- and he gets plenty of it in a
game like handball.
And simply because of sheer
devotion to the game, he spends
a lot of time and money seeing
to it that its popularity increases.
In 1951 Kendler founded the
United States Handball Association as a "players' fraternity"
to promote a game that had been
sorely neglected both locally
and in national tournament competition. He was supported by
the game's top players and
officials and in the eight years
following more has been done
for handball than had been accomplished
in the previous
thousand years.
Kendler has proved that handball can be exciting both to
player and spectator. Through
che use of glass-enclosed courts
he has enabled hundr~ds of
sports fans to get a full view of
the action. Through the use of
closed circuit and live TV
thousands more have been initiated to this thrilling man-to-man
play.
Basically, handball requires
the use of both hands, good
stamina, and the ability to react
quickly. Most of the play takes
place on the four-wall courts
that require an angle perspective
such as is involved in the game
of billiards. The game is played
in either singles or doubles,
similar to tennis, with the server,
or partners serving, able to score
points.
Through the stimulus provided
by USHA and the nation's growing
concern for physical fitness a
record number of re c re a ti on
facilities are being erected to
include standard-size handball
courts.
Through the Community Builder
offices Kendler provides gratis
blue print specifications on all
types of courts. Requests have
come
through from schools,
clubs, civic community centers,
Hand ball enthusiast Bob Kendler has two of the game's greats on
his Community Buil(iers sales payroll. They are Phil Collins,
extreme left, current combined national doubles champion, and
Gus Lewis, extreme right, 4020 Lee, Skokie, former National AAU
singles champion who with Ken Schneider of Morton Grove placed
third in this year's national doubles competition. Posing with
Collins and Lewis are TV's Art Linkletter, three-times national
singles champ Jimmy Jacobs of Los Angeles, and Kendler. The
picture was taken recently at the dedication of a Kendler-inspire d
glass handball court at the Aurora, Tll., YMCA.

vide side walls and back wall
of Herculite glass and extra
space needed for seating up to
600 spectators.
It was a daring move but
Kendler felt a gamble to build
a glass court as an acid test
was necessary to prove that th~
players would not be hindered
by the ball bouncing against· the'
glass with a backgrou nd of
spectators. An exhibition imm e d i a t e l y proved the court
comple,tely successful.
"Bob" Kendler gives a television spiel while Linkletter waits
his turn before WBKB camera at national AAU handball finals.
That's key to Aurora Linkletter is holding.
~----- ------ ---1
social-athle tic Town Club, located in Chicago's Sheratbn
Hotel, to provide a family setup.
Emphasizing handball, the club
rapidly has become known as the
Midwest mecca of the game. Just
recently the club was headquarters for handball's first "World
Series," taking care of record
turnouts in three events and then
shifting finals of singles and
masters doubles to a revolutionary new glass court at Aurora's
YMCA.
When the possibility of such
a court came up Kendler provided
Town Club Midwest Mecca
the financial backing to make it
A clecade ago Kendler took a reality. There was some $30,000
over the operation of the private Iextra financing necessary to pro-
and park districts presaging a
widespread rem ode 1in g and
building program that should
boom the sport.
The one question that invariably crops up in ta 1 king of
handball is, "Isn't this game too
strenuous for a man over 35 or
40?" Bob Kendler's experience
completely belies such a supposition. At 53, Kendler sheds
the pressures of a seven-day
work schedule by cavorting about
his Town Club handball courts
at least three times weekly.
Indust rial Softba ll Leagu e
Sets May 13 Startin g Date
Eighteen teams, an im:rea~e
of eight over last year, will make
up the Skokie Valley Industrial
Softball League this season. League
play will begin May 13.
In the Americah division are

Co. and International Minerals and
Chemical Corp., Skokie; Bell ,and
Gossett Co., Avon Products, Inc.,
Minneapolis- Honeywell Regulator
Co. and the H. M. H:irper Co.,
Monon Grove; \Varwick Manufacturing Corp. and Imperi.1! Brass
WBKB televised the finals of
singles March 22 and the response was overwhelmin gly in
favor of further vidio of the
fast-moving game.
So Kendler's avocation has
actually usurped much of his
time but he states firmly,
"Handball owes me nothing ...
in fact, I owe a tremendous
debt to this wonderful sport that
has provided me with a badlyneeded leisure time outlet, and
anything I can do to help promote I will not hesitate in
doing."
It won't be surprising to many
if Kendler comes up with a glass
court in Skokie one of these
days. He is aware of the evershifting movement to the northern
suburbs and the need for more
indoor athletic facilities for the
adults of this area. And, cooking
up a storm in his ''perpetual
man-in-moti on" mind is incorporating such fa c i lit i e s in a
shopping center where adequate
parking would be available.

Pitching and lon g Ball'
Keep Trojans Und efea ted
Chez and Dobrows ki
Le-ad Moundsm en;
lhne Slugging
By Ray Cohen
Strong hearted pitching and
the "long ball" have combined
to give Niles Townshj"p High
School's baseball team an undefeated record to date.
Ron Chez won his third game
of the s ea s on for Ni le hi
Saturday when, aided by Bill
lhne' s slugging, the Trojans
swamped Glenbrook 9-1.
The previous Wednesday,
Niles beat Leyden 4-3 as Tom
Dobrowlski settled down after
a wild start on the mound and
became the first Trojan Pitcher
to go the distance.
The win over Glenbrook gave
the Trojans a record of four
straight - and prompted hopes
among fans that the township
might have another Suburban
League diamond championshi p
this season.
Details of the games:
Chez pitched the full seven
innings against the Nort~brook
Spartans, yeilding only two hits
and three walks. Glenbrook got
its lo_ne run in the fifth inning,
after Nilehi had run up a 9-0
lead, a wild pitch figuring in
the score.
Among the Trojans' nine hits
were Ihne' s second home run
of the sea~on. The big southpaw first baseman also socked
a triple, as did Jack Berg and
Henrici.
Ihne's average is now well
over the . 300 mark. His two
RBIs
against Northbrook
boosted his total in this department to four.
Still another extra-base hit
was recorded by shortstop Ron
Lis, who doubled and singled
in the onslaught.
Niles got only four hits
against Leyden, but three were
triples . Jack Berg got two of
the three-bagge rs and Henrici
the other. A single by Ihne
rounded out the hit production.
Against the Leyden Eagles,
Niles got off to a two-run lead
in the first inning - nainly because of several walks. The
Eagles countered with one in
their half of the frame on much
the same type of "hitting"
against Dobrowlski.
Then, each team scored two
more in the second. That ended
scoring for the game as the
pitchers found the range.
Leyden made only six hits
off Dobrowlski' s offerings.
'Hawaiian Mixer'
The Lincoln Hall School
auditorium will be the site of
an "Hawaiian Mixer" party
sponsored by the Lincolnwood
PTA Saturday night. It is the
organization 's
prime
fundraising project for the year.

On the subject of circulation
and subscribers , we have been
over-joyed and amazed by the
number of people who have
subscribed to the Villager even weeks before it was out.
This is most encouraging to us
and indicates there is a real
need for our news-magaz ine in
the community.
This i s sue was s en t to
almost every home in Niles
township. Needless to say, we
can't do this more than once
due to the prohibitive cost. So,
unless you are a bonafide paid
subscriber by the second issue,
we regret we won't be able to
guarantee you a weekly copy

Our
special, introductory

you to sign and mail the subscription card inserted in this

Basically I'm an advertising
man and therefore, I suppose,
I sh o u 1 d look at the entire
venture from the standpoint of
promotion and advertising ....
rather than good editorial
journalism .. . and to a great
extent, I do . But, one thing I
know - Readership is the key

Gladys Erickson Relates
Own Story to Mariners Club
It was to Gladys Erickson,
Chicago ne~spaper woman and
author of "Warden Ragen of
Joliet," that Nathan Leopold,
after 20 years in prison, granted
his first interview, and it was she,
eight years later, who ran a copyrighted series on Leopold's 2 8
years in Stateville.
These were some of the things
Miss Erickson spoke about to the
Mariners Club of WeHminster
Presbyterian Church in Skokie
Saturday nil$ht.
She told of Dr. W. Harold
Row, of Elgin, .executive secretary of the Christian Brethren
Mission, which operates the hospital in Puerto Rico to which
Leopold went foltowing his release. Dr. Low accompanied Leopold on that trip.
Because of her close association with the case, Dr. Row, in
an exclusive story to Miss Erickson, spoke of the emotion the
paroled killer displayed when the
doctor had to take his leave.
Miss Erickson also related
some of her personal background
and the events that led to her
entering the newspaper field.
During the presidential election in 19 52, she covered the
Republican and Democratic conventions as the only newspaper
representative with credentials to
remain on the speaker's platform.
Adamowski Gives Township
Clean Bill of Health on Slots
On Adamowski •·s list - in
addition to Chic ago - were
Chicago. Heights (which has
17 stamps), Calumet City,
Hazel Crest, Forest Park,
Berwyn, Matteson, Palatine,
Lansing, Thornton, Blue
Island, Des Plaines, Riverdale,
Steger, Cicero, Melrose Park,
Barrington, L em on t, South
Chicago Heights, Lyons, Maywood and Bellwood.
"Officials of these communities are on notice that we know
slot m a c h i n e s are b e i n g
operated within their corporate
limits," said Adamowski.
"They can draw their own
conclusions.''
Not a single village in Niles
Township is on a long list of
commun1t1es put on warning
by State'sA Atty. Benjatnin S.
Admowski for harboring slot
machines in private clubs.
The county prosecutor has
sent letters to the mayors and
chiefs of police of muoic;ipalicities where such clubs
have bought federal gambling
stamps.
"They'd better do something- or else,'' Adamowski
declared.
With Adamo ski's letter went
gambling stamp buyers and a
copy of the Illinois law which
forbids gambling devices.
Although the township apparently got a clean bill of
health regarding slot machines,
a later report had it that the
state's attorney's office was
inquiring as to whether certain
fraternal organizations were
sponsoring punch bowl lotteries.
Railroad Track
Permit Granted
The Dole Valve company,
6201 Oakton, Morton Grove, has
obtained Illinois Commerce Commission approval to lay a railroad
track across Lehigh avenue 800
feet south of Oakton.
The spur line will connect
with tracks of the Milwaukee
Road. The railroad will share construction and maintenance cost
with the company. The total cost
was not estimated.
Alonzo C. Goodrich, Dole's
vice-president and secretary, said
the track will be used to transport
brass and fuel oil to the company
and to ship out the company's
finished products.
Goodrich said the operation
is now done by trucks.
George Barry, Milwaukee
Road's assistant superintendent,
said that a brakeman and conductor would precede trains a.cross
Lehigh avenue to warn vehicle
and pedestrian traffic of approaching trains.
Seek Lease
For School
North Shore Association for
Retarded Children has applied for
a 50 year lease on 3 acres of Metropolitan Sanitary District property on-the east bank of the North
Shore Channel, north of Church
street, Skokie.
The property would be used
for the construction of a day
school building for retarded children.
A committee of three sanitary district trustees was appointed to make a recommendation in
connection with the application.
NEW TRAFFIC SIGNALS
Traffic signals to be installed
at two Dempster St. intersections
in Morton Grove will be interconnected with the automatic

A report on the Chicago
Transit Authori ty's proposed plan
for a huge transpor tation terminal
at Oakton and McCorm ick was
given at Saturday 's Skokie Village
Board meeting by Trustee Sylvester J. Reese.
The general plan calls for the
construc tion of an elevated and
bus terminal on CTA-owned property at Oakton and McCorm ick.
The elevated line would be extended from Howard St. and
brought into the Oakton- Mc
Cormick terminal .
Bus ramps also would be
construc ted. From these ramps
passengers could be dispersed to
the elevated or other buses for
transpor tation into Chicago.
Similar terminal s have been
planned for other locations in th e
Chicago metropo litan area. However, Reese reported , the entire
plan is still in the discussion stage.
The initial cost, for· this
overall transpor tation plan, has
been estimate d at 37 million dolars. Ways and means of financin g
the plan also are being studied.

Uniqu e Comm ercial Foreca sting
Firrn on Skoki e's Main Stree t
by Tweed Kelly
It was fairly cool on a June morning 10
Chicago last year. There were lazy clouds in
the sky and a refreshin g breeze off Lake
Michigan. It was the kind of morning that forbids
mention of even the possibility of a hot spell.
But a candy company executive in the city
had a nagging doubt.
He called John R. Murray, who with his
partner, Dennis W. Trettel, operates a unique
business at 4846 Main St. in Skokie. They •are
meteorologi cal consultants: private weathermen.
The candy man's hunch paid off. Murray and
Trettel told him one of the worst heat waves of
the season was due to start that afternoon.
Forewarned, the candy firm decided to wait a
few days before making a big shipment of
chocolate. Had it been shipped as scheduled, it
would have been ruined. Result: thousands of
dollars saved.
In the wintertime, the same firm - - and others
like it --rely on Murray & Trettel to report
immirient cold snaps(which can crack cellophane
wrappers).
This type of service for a variety of governmental and industrial clients has built Murray &
Treece! into a business that takes in almost a
hundred thousand dollars a year.
Murray and Trettel hit on the idea 14 years
ago. They were in their early twenties then and
meteorology officers at the San Marcus Navigational Training School in Texas. The regular
phone calls they got from Texas farmers requesting advance rain warnings to protect the
soybean crop convinced them the service could
be commerciali zed.
They teamed up after they got out of service
ow their
and have been together ever since.
office sprawls over most of the second fl ,oor of
the Steiner Building on Main St., and they have
five full time staffers. Theirs is the only such
operation in this part of the Midwest.
Why hire a private firm when you can rely on
the We at her Bureau? The answer: you can't
--not if you have a specialized business that
depends on detailed up-to-the-mi nute reports.
The Weather Bureau operation is designed
mainly for the average citizen--th e man who
wants to know whether he should drive on a
winter day, whether he should carry an umbrella,
whether he should lay in a supply of coal.
The Murray-Tret tel organizat ion goes far
beyond this service.
One of the firm's clients is the City of
Chicago. Equipped with an ordinary storm
warning, the Chicago road-clearin g supervisors
might "saddle up" their entire snowplow fleet.
The first step costs $25,000--w hether the
crews go out or not. A quick check with Murray
and Trettel gives these officials a clear indication as to whether this move is necessary.
If the report is, "Yes, it'll snow, but will
melt in an hour or two," the need for this vast
preparation vanishes. Chicago taxpayers have
been saved a good chunk of their money.
Another client is a commercial motion picture
company . The director of the studio is assembling a crew for some outdoor shots in color.
Will the skies be clear enough for good, sharp
photography ? If there are clouds, when will' they
lift and how thick will they be? (Certain layers
are thin enough to permit shooting.)
There is no end to the uses of specialized
weather information.
A Loop department store knows that if it's
a good time to be ready to push raincoats :
similarly, springtim e straw-hat advertising
appears along with a forecast for bright, warm
weather.
Public utilities have to know the temperature s
expected over a certain period of time to adjust
gas and electric loads their feeder lines carry.
Overloading their fuel storage facilities can
cost hundreds of thousand s of do 11 a rs in
unnecessary rentals.
The cost for all this varies with the amount of
service. A "one-shot" prediction might run $25.
Industrial service involving frequent checks
might be as high as $750 a month.
The Service is available 24 hours a day and
Here is Murray and
Trettel office staff in
action with some of
the firm's equipment.

weather maps on wall.

there is always a man on duty at the Murray and
Trettel office. The forecasters operate in a
large map room occupied by several electronic
receiving machines bringing in precise weather
information. All fronts - masses of warm or
cold air -- are tracked carefully: watched for
size, movement, intensity and similar characteristics until it passes from the Rockies eastward
into the Atlantic.
Coded data involving such complex subjects
as radiosondes and rawinsondes from the upper
air, surface observation s, barometric pressure,
humidity, wind direction and force - - all play
a part in this highly sensitive project.
The firm's first client was Armour & Co.,
which still uses M & T data on pasture and
feeder crop conditions to winnow out precious
advance tips on when farmers and ranchers will
head for markets.
There are now hundreds of others, ranging
from 60-odd snow-consci ous municipaliti es to
the president of a steel company, who as a
personal convenience uses the service to help
plan his vacation trips.
How accurate is the Murray and Trettel
service? Right now "something less than 100 per
cent - - but higher than 80 per cent," says
Murray with a smile.
But the aim is always 100 per cent. And that
isn't a strict impossibilit y. Murray and Trettel
are hopeful that the scientific information recorded by such space devices as Russia's
Sputniks and America's Explorer someday will
eliminate virtually all possibility of error.

In our travels the past year we traversed over
twenty thousand miles of U.S . highways. Long
distance travel today is such a pleasure, thanks
to the tollroads that are starting to crisscross
the country like a giant mobile circulatory system.
We've been over the Indiana and Ohio collroads,
the Pennsylvania turnpike ( with it's fabulous
tunnels), the New Jersey turnpike, and -the
magnificent New York thruway that makes travel
from New York City to Niagara Falls a breeze.
Out west we blitzed (at 55 M. P. H.) over the
Will ,Rogers and Turner turnpikes in Oklahoma,
and the highways of New Mexico and Arizona
where, even when the sign says "two-lane high
way ahead", th'e road is comparable to our four
lanes here in Illinois . Out in California they
have the freeways (the most fantastic of all), and
down in Texas we found Dallas and Fort Worth
closer than ever (travel -wise, that is), thanks to
the new tollroad.
And now we have them in, around, over, under,
and through Chicagoland. Let's see how the new
tollroads are to travel. You've stopped at a toll
plaza (you can't miss them; they're all over the
place) and you've read the sign chat tells you
maps are available. The courteous attendant
(and they are: we've found them that way on all
tollroads) has handed you your map, after you've
paid your toll, of course.
At this point I'd like.to recommend that before
venturing on to an Illinois tollroad you hire a
trained navigator who has a ver y large magnifying
glass, because the map you receive can fit into
your wife's compact along with her swimming
suit.
Let's say you've reached the spot on the map
that says, "See inset B". Because you can't
possibly figure out the signs on the road, nor
can you tell at a glance it tbe map what to do,
you pull over to the side of the road. The top of
"Inset B" says, "Northbound to Wisconsin next
exit O'Hare lnter-ch'ge".
That apostrophe in ''interchange'' saved the
taxpayers the price of one-and-a-half letters.
Below t/Je aforementioned bulletin, which
doesn't concern us anyhow because we think we're
going south, are a bunch of curving snakes .
These, I presume, indicate cloverleafs, but to
follow them you have to be a chinese puzzle fan.
These dotted-line snakes and solid-line snakes
run all over Lake Street and North Avenue, and
up and down the Tri-State Tollway and the
Congress Expressway, which I thought ran EastWest, but at this point it goes North and South.
Just below this mess is St. Charles Road, a
quiet little road that has never caused anyone
any trouble, but now it too is covered and
surrounded by dotted-line snakes. Between this
point and the big black snakes, dotted-line
snakes, and solid-line snakes intersection
(which apparently is the major intersection of the
whole shebang) is a little cloverleaf made up of
dotted-line snakes and dotted-line-with-solidblack-squares snakes. I still haven't figured where
this one leads.
Of course, there are signs to help you out of
yourdilemna-signsthatread, "U.S. 41, S.R. 152,
U.S. 6, U.S. 30 East, S.R. 152 North, U.S. 12,
U.S. 20 East." And the Indiana end of the TriState Tollroad, if you follow the signs, you end
up in the forest primevil---a thicket of woods.
It won't be too long before we've all figured it
out, and j use about chat time, the engineers will
tear it all up, and build new· ones to once again
challenge our stupid little minds.

PRESIDENT, HUMAN RELATIONS
COUNCIL OF NILES TOWNSHIP
We are starting another year. The chant, "Peace on Earth , Good
Will toward Men" comes ringing fro m the corridors of ChristJ11 as to sound
the hor.>es that will move us during the year .
There are many organizations in our com munity that will be w·ork~
ing throughout the year to realize our hopes for peace ... churches,
synagogue·s, schools , and civic organizations. But th e only oraanization
that covers the whole township and cuts across all religious and raci al
lines i's the Human Relations Counci l of Niles ToUinship.
The :,urpose of the Council is re:11arlrnbly si111 :1le: (l) to foster and
promote better human relations in Niles Township by :1roviding an estab~
lished and recognized medium fo r the exchange of opinion, the sharin g of
information , and the rooling of resources and efforts of existing organizations
in the solving of community problems as they arise ; (2) to carry on a con~
tinuing program of study, education and action , through existing organizations ,
des igned to promote unity and understanding, and to foster ~1 ore adequate
solutions to community problems involving human relations ."
The council ,erforms no magic deeds and in its brief life of one
and one~half years it has barely started its Uiork. It stands / or tl1os e qwili~
ties in human life that alone can inhe rit the earth . .. the fr irit11 al virility
that alone can guarantee peace among men .

THE VILLAGER
,. :The Evanston Story
Urge·
d
Elsewhere on this page are capsule arguments for and against
the city form of government - the Evanston form, at least.
The only conclusion we can come to is that, by all comparisons
extant, cities simply are more expensive than villages. But this
is only part of the picture.
We recall a maxim to the effect that "he governs best who
governs least." We might rephrase this, in the light of the Jan.
20 election to determine whether we want to change our village
status, to something like this: "the fewer governors, the better
the government."
The proponents of the city - ward idea base most ,of their c.ase ,
on the premise that Skokians need "sombody to see." This is
just another way of saying, "we need someone to put pressure
on when we want something."
And this'is what we surely would have: government by pressure
groups. This gets government into the field of barter. The merits
of a cause become secondary to its popularity in a given ar.ea.
An alderman would be incline1 to trade his vote in the city
counci 1 for the votes of his constituents come election time.
This is natural; he is their "someone to see." This is the practice, also - and is why buffoons like Paddy Bauler of Chicago
make a sideshow of city council meetings.
l~n't it much more desi~able, from the standpoit of the en-tire
village, to have our elected . officials look at the whole picture?
What is right for northeast Skokie, for example, may be wrong
for the other five-sixths of the village. Village trustees, elected
at large, necessarily must consider what is right for all of us.
If they displease a majority of us, then we simply vote them all
out of office.
But how much more difficult it is to remove. a majority of 16
alderman! You have but to look at the account of the Evanston
situation. Aldermen completely out of step with the majority of
Evanston's citizens - but well ensconced in their own neighborhoods - C?-n remain in office forever.
The Evanston people voted in a city form of government for
far different reasons t ban are advanced as arguments for a pro. posed city of Skokie. Faced with a large influx · of Negro residents,
Evanston - people simply gerrymandered them into one ward so
that their voices would be foretler ineffectual in t_he city council.
The bleeding heans who claim "minority" groups need "someone to see" in Skokie, and who point to Evanston with such
pride, would do well to review the Evanston history. What's to
prevent this from happening to the "newcomers" in our new
neighborhoods? For that matter, what's to prevent it from happening to the '' oldtim..ers'' in the old part of town'?
So what would we gain? Equal representation of every neighborhood- as the rallying cry of the Skokie Civic Federation puts
it? Possibly. We doubt it.
More economic government? All evidence points to the contrary.
A more efJicient form of government? Definitely not. The most
efJicient form of government is government by one person. Every
person you aid after that might contribute more in the way of
broader representation and outlook- but it makes administration
clumsier, and policy-making decisions wind up being compr9mises.
Skokie now has six trustees, and they seldom are
unanimous'
agreement on poli~y. The area of difference among 16 aldermen
obviously would be much greater,
Less politicking? Hardly, with a system that makes every
alderman's position dependent on pleasing his own neighbors to the detriment, if necessary, of other areas.
More responsiveness to the "will of the people"? Far less.
We'll guarantee that if the city form carries aid a majority of
Skokie's voters are dissatisfied with its administrators, removing
them from offi't.e will be exactly 16 times <;is hard: There will
never be a clear-cut mandate to the city administration. A month
or two ago the people in the Sharp Corner district got together
and by sheer weight of numbers prevented erection of a motel
in their area. How successful would such an uprising be under
a ward plan? Extremely successful, we 'll wager, with the dis•
trict's two aldermen. But why would t,he other 14 aldermen give
a hoot?
· So it all boils down to this: by test, we have the most efficient
i;
most economical, most responsive form of government possible
for a community the size of Skokie. There may be an advantage
or two to the city form of government, but the disadvantages far
outweight any possible benefits.
And in any event, we know what we have. If we change, we're
simply setting sail into dark waters with no clear conception of
our destination, or exactly why we're going.
This seems an extraordinarily dangerous undertaking. The
Villager recommends a flat "NO" vote on Jan. 20.

Al I other Th-eatre & Spart.s Events
Because the city of Evanston is pointed to with pride by those
advocating the city form of government for the village of Skokie,
we are reprinting here two entirely different views of Evanston.
One is a letter to the editor we received froni the Henry Wolfs.
Mr. Wolf is an official of the Skokie Caucus Party and an advocate of the city form of government.
The other is based on the verbatim remarks of Mr. Charles E.
Claypool of the Evanston Committee for Good Government at a
meeting last week. Mr. Claypool and a host of other outraged
Evanstonlans are attempting to change that city's form of government in the April election.
The W
olfs' letter follows:
Between now an'd January 20th, the voters of Skokie are going
to be bombarded u;ith "informatioTT" about the city form of govern•
ment. Much of this will be of an emotional nature urging them to
"preserve" our village status and completely ignoring the perti•
nent facts. The facts are that any form of government can be
used to the benefit of any given community or, on the other han.d,
can become corrupt, inefficient or irresponsible. Good or bad
government is not a result of the form in which it operates, but
the integrity and knowledge - or lack of it- of the men and
women who administer it. This is proved by the many respected,
well run , communities using the city form of government, such as
Evansto,; and Park Ridge, as opposed to the usage of the city
form in Chicago.
Here are some of Mr. Claypool's remarks:
We are all greatly concerned about the increase in the cost
cf our city government. Our city-manager recently made a state•
ment which was 'printed in the Evanston Review ( Dec. 25, 1958
p. 7) to the e /feet that our city tax rate had decreased from 1. 030
in 1954, to an estimated .908 in 1958. That sounds fine, doesn't
it? jj ut have you ever compared our city's tax rate with the rates
paid in other communities? It's really quite an eye·cpener. To
think that an old, established community like Evanston should
have to tax its residents far in excess of the tax rates of other
newer towns - towns that don't begin to have the fine facilities
we have ,e njoyed for years, but in most cases are just getting
around to .- building them and doing so at Jar less cost, apparently,
to the taxf]a'>,'f!TS. in, 'those towns, than the cost to us of maintain•
ing our established facilities.
'
Our city's tax rate not only is almost double the average rate
of the mayor towns, but it's about 70% higher than the average
tax rate in the other city-manager-run towns in this vicinity. In
fact, EVANS1ON HAS A HIGHER MUNICIPAL TAX RATE Tf/AN

NONE. I seem to hear a voice from the past that keeps saying
something to me about a promise of more "economical" govern·
ment.
(After citing figures to prove his point, Mr. Claypool went on
to bemoan the . fact that "when they (the aldermen) ignore you
(the' people of Evanston) then you have the job of electing a new
majority to the council responsive to your will, which, to take
Evanston as a theoretical example, would mean the election of
ten new men out of an eighteen man council.")

One of the most rewarding aspects of being a
member of the fourth estate is the opportunity it
affords for meeting · interesting and wonderful
people .
Demetrios A. l\lichalaros, the Greek poet,
editor of Athene . Magazine, and whose latest
book "The ~linoan: ' was reviewed in this coiumn ,
is a shy, !:?Oft spoken , modest gentleman. His
thoughts and words come forth like the sun
slowly rising over a hazy morning.
In answer to a question put to him , Michalaros
had this to say i
"You ask. me if there is an y poetry in the
world today ---~ons idering the wholesale abandonment of the arts in these more recen t decades
by a. harassed humanity and a missile - mad
worlds - poetry ne v er ceased to be and nev e,
will-poetry has wings and is an expression of
the true befog- bur liv es are a continuous series
o f aspirations - Holy dreams which belong to a
world that is not real- the world of the poet."
Covering a show at the Merchandise Mart is
like bucking up against rush hour traffic on the
outer drive. All •that is needed for a three or
four hour coverage of activity in this world
within a world is shoe soles made of iron , strong
legs , sharp elbows, four hands, and a never
fading smile on your face.
One should carry an overnight case when
traveling from the 5econd to the 16th floor. We
could have gone to ~Jilwaukee in less time than
it took for us to make that trip.
But there w ere many exciting things happen·
ing at the /Jome Furnishing Sho w, particularly
the cocktail party the Mart gave for members of
the press . Ed Pazdar is a delightful host, ev en
if some of his guests did leave the soiree in a
horizontal position .
We seem to be constantly running into ~lrs.

An amazing story , in the most ei'.citing
fictional tradition , attaches itself to the blond
Morton Grove youth who left the sanctity of
comforta ble suburban living to align himself
with a cause in which he believed .
Jack , accordin g to his mother, Mrs. Clifford
Nordeen, took a Florida vacation last year. It
w~s this v~cation that spawned a revolutio nary
out of an 10tense young man barely out of his
teens.
"He was always fascinate d by politics ,
people a nd history, '' adds Mrs. Nordeen. She
explained that he !_IJa de friends with some
Cubans in Miami and they intereste d him in the
plight of the people in their country.
W
hen Jack Nordeen returned to Morton Grove
he was convince d as to the rights and wrong~
of the Cuban internal situation ... convince d
that Castro was right, Batista wron'g and the
masses wronged. He studied Cuban history and
tradition with the characte ristic zeal of deter·
mined youth. Bu.t there was, indeed, a differenc e
between Jack Nordeen and contempo raries of
his 20 year old world. Where they might leave
off, he was just beginnin g.
26 of July
As the story is pieced together, Jack read
a pamphlet describin g the activitie s of "26 of
July," Castro's fund-rais ing arm in the United
States. It was this group that sent food, clothing
and medical supplies to the rebels and served
as a propagan da force for the rebel chieftain
and his army.
-The date, July 26, represen ts Castro's initial
attack against the B atista regim e, durin g wh i ch
he was captured and held prisoner temporar ily.
It is th e Symbol of the Castro movemen t and
rebel troops display the date on their uniforms.
Nordeen attended meetings of this group. He
spoke no Spanish, though, and a t the meetings
little or no English was spoken.
Accordin g to "Fred" Diaz , also a member of
the club , and himself a Morton Grove resident
even the jokes had to be translate d for Jack
someone always would sit with him and interpret .
But Jack Nordeen wasn't joking, as everyone
was soon to find out. Diaz recalls it was hard
for the members of "26 of July" to understan d
the fiery enthusias m of an otherwis e mildmannered young native born American for their
cause. · He had no relatives in Cuba , nor friends ,
nor even acquainta 11ces. He had never been
there himself, and so it was natural that they
regarded him with skeptica l eye. Most of them
had some Cuban ties , filial or otherwis e.
Nordeen soon displaye d a fervor, however,
tha-t only comes to one who believes strongly
in what he is doing. It soon became obvious

One of the' many meetings of the Chicago branch of "26 of Jul y, "
is shown above . President of th / mov ement in Chicago, Serapio
Montejo, implored the gathering for greater efforts in behalf of
Castro's ar.my.
\
to the group that J a ck Nordeen was dead serious.
It was a short time after Nordeen began attending meetings that he dropped his bombshell.
He wa:s going to Cuba . There was nothing that
his parents, the membership of "26 of July" or
anyone else could do . to dissuade him.
·
He would go to Cuba, somehow manage to
bridge the 600 miles from Havana to Castro's
Sierra Maestra mountain headquarters , and take
up arms with the bearded followers of Fidel
Castro in the Cuban civil war.
The trip would be frought with the pitfalls of
hazardous . terrain an·d Batista's army and secret
police. They took a dim view of any native
Castro sympathizers , let alo.n e a "one man
invasion from Morton Grove,'' whose purpose
pure and simply was to fight a dictatorial rule
that shackled a nation .
Nordeen was briefed. He had instructions,
rendezvous points, enough money to see him
through for a short period of time . .. and little
else.

It was September, 1958. He went to Mjami ,
from there _o Cuba. Meanwhile, Castro had been
t
informed of the game-legged (Jack has a slight
limp as the result of a childhood illness) but
game-heatted youth.
When Nordeen arrived in Cuba, all modern
available transportation was being used to ship
· men and ammunition to Bayame, for a ma jot
offensive aimed at dislocating Castro from his
Sierra Mi!estra stronghold.

the ability to prove it was in danger. Jack
had the · purpqse , but no ostensible reason [Of'
being in the Latin A merican "vesuvius ."
Needing a few "breaks , " as they say, he
took a gamble and boarded a bus lea:ving for
Bayame. How far he could have gotten is
questionable. The fact remains that Nordeen
got his "break" in the form of a Batista army
sergeant .w ith an· intense interest in learning
English customs, language and tradition.
Nordeen stationed himself protectively near
the sergeant for the entire trip. Ea;ch time the
bus was boarded for search, the sergea~t waved
inspecting police and soldiers away from ·his
traveling cbmpanion. When the two reached
J)ayamo , Nordeen bought his compaii.ion a beer
and quietly slipped away.
It remained · for him to contact a roadside
grocer and for the man to radio that the American
was here. Later, two men on horseback · charged
out of the mountains and whisked Nordeen into.
the Sierra Maestras. The trail of the "Americano"
evaporated in the veritable "puff of smoke. "
Castro is reported to have remarked later
that "this was the first time a Batista soldier
ever gave a rebel safe conduct to our lines . "
The story of the boy· who duped a dictator's
army was retold a hundred times around Castro
campfires , and served to fan rebel hearts ,
already flaming with a cause.
The entire set of circumstances under which
Jack Nordeen left .America and got to Castro is
is said to have shored up the spirits of Castro
followers.

Dear Sir:
In connection with the debate
concerning the proposed change
in the form of our local govern ment, two arguments against
the ward plan have appeared
so far in your paper.
One, advanced by Mr. M.
Krier, opposes the change
because "it is too expensive"
and "will just lead to trouble."
In regard . to the expense involved, the real issue is what
kind -of a local government
the money ,will buy us; if it
will buy a better than ~he one
we have now, then the money
will be well spent. There is
not much in' Mr. Krier' s statement in the way of an objective
defense of our presentsystem,
and to be opposed to a change
only because of a temporary
expense and of a somewhat
more expensive way of running
it is , in my opinion, not too
valid. It is c~mmon knowledge
that one gets what one is
paying for. .•
As to the ass·e rtion that a
DO
ment and I wish Mr. Krier
would tell us more precisely
what trouble might be expected.
Dear Sir:
A great many children enjoyed a Merry Christmas this
year, complete with unexpected
dolls, games and other toys,
because of the generosity of
the warm-hearted people in the
Niles Twp. area. The success
of the ''Toys for Tots'' . program
certainly reflects the friendly
spirit of your community.
Those of us in "B" Company,
1
9th Infantry Battalion, United
States Marine Corps Reserve,
i would like to take this means
of Glenview

each of you personally. We

We would particularly like
to thank the men of the Skokie

Our deep appreciation is
expressed to the Villager and
all the people on your staff.
Your support was a most ·important factor in the success of

campaign.
The entire experience has
been, for us, most satisfying.
Again, our thanks to everyone.

The second argument against,
the ward plan was advani:ed
in your editorial in the December 18th issue and is of a mfre
fundamental nature . The change
Dr. Harvey further disclosed
that fi.re inspector Pat Seul
to· a more representative system
is not good according to the · had recommended installation
of heat detectors in stairwells,
editorial because it will' 'divide c 1osets, and all unused , enth e village into eight little closed places throughout the
factional communities which building and that bids were
would continually vie wi th
being received for installatim
rrrent, " I note that the same
argument could be advancea
against the compos1t1on of
ices right away.
D
As it is, the first question
which comes to mind is:
trouble for whom.
and following this l j n e of
reasoning we could be better
off in electing our senators
and representatives at large ,.
And yet the Fathers of our
Constitution have prefer~d in
their wisdom our present sy stem
to any o.ther and have set a
pattern for the make-up of a
government for and by the
people.
In concluding I want to
assure you that I am eagerly
anticip ating
the arguments
the change which a s indica ted
in the s ame editoria l, you will
present in future issues . This
important i s sue shou ld be
re s olved on ba sis of factual
hone s t arguments ; only then
will we have the best gover~ment which we deserve .

Win Ice Skating
Pond Maintenance
The Skokie Park Board has
agreed to "partially" maintain
an ice skating rink at LeeWright Park.
Wright Park, and . asked for
full maintenance of ice skating
facilities from the Park Board.
Although the Park Board
could not meet the requests
of th'e residents for full maintenance of Lee Wright's ice
skating rink, a compromise
agreement was reached that ·
Lee-Wright Park would receive
snow re~oval services for the
balance of the season by using
the village's snow removal
trucks or, whenever necessary,
by contracting with a private
party.
About 35 residents of the
Lee-Wright area appeared at
a Park Board meeting room
in the Devonshire Park Recreational Center last Wednesday .
Herb Koehler, · 4843 Wright,
Ter. and Gus Dallas, 85.05
Niles Center Road, presented
a .signed petition from 500
residents living around Lee-
Superintendent
of
Parks
Robert Ruhe said that the Park
District now maintains and
supervises ice skating rinks
at Terminal, Central, McNally,
Lorel, Oakton, Greenleaf and
Lamon, and Emily Parks. These
rinks, he says, are within one
mile of any household in town .
Eventuall}' , there should be
an ice skating rink within
three-quarters of a mile (6
blocks) of every home, while
a future plan may call for a
rink within one-half mile ( 4
blocks) of every house, Ruhe
reported.
Henry Weber, vice president
of the Bo!l"d of Park Commissioners said that no additional
money can now be appropriated
for full maintenance of additional parks without an increase
in taxes.

'Indecent' Performance
Causes License Revocation
Based on police testimony
of an indecent performance.
Daniel Ryan, president of the
county board, has revoked
the liquor license of Rocco
Potenzo, owner of the Forest
Lounge, 6548 Milwaukee ave.,
Niles Township.
Six girls were arrested in
the tavern Sept. 6 and fined
it 200 on charges of performing
lewd acts. Deputy Sheriff Allen
Rosen and Former Deputy John
J . Healy testified Dec . 21 in
a hearing conducted by A.L.
Hornick,
Ry an's assistant,
that the girls did a strip tease
that left them nude from the
waist _ p.
u
The policemen had posed
a s customers to gain entrance
to a room in the rear of the
tavern to see the show.
Defense Attorney Michael
Brodkin contended the girls
had a lace cloth draped over
t heir shoulders, and that their
movement s
were
"nothing
different. than anyone could
witness on television or in
any night club.
"Frankly., -I have never seen
the type of dancing described
on television or in night clubs,
said 1-lornick . "In my opinion,
this was not a dance of the
seven fawns or sweet little
strolling about on the green .
It was not eve n a folk dan c e.''
Potenzo and others associated
with the location at various
times had federal wagering
stamps.
Three Skokie Experts
Teach Hanford Scientists
Three Skokie residents conducted a training school for

Prairie; Henry Barton, 8228
Monticello, and George Kalantzis, 4955 Dempster, instru cted the scientists in the
operation, control, maintenance
and de sign philo s ophy of 256-
channel pulse height analyzers,
special purpose digital computers used in an a 1 y z in g

The three men are employees

What is frequently considered by the layman as the mark of the master
chef . . . an extra pincli of this, a dash of that, and a bit extra for the pot ...
is now as obsolete as a wood burning stove in the stainless steel kitchen
of Johnstone's Restaurant a t 4747 Peterson Ave., Chicago.
Also, out the window has gone the time honored belief that the restaurant
kitchen is the private domain of the ''master'' chef.
Richard Grassfield, co-owner with
Shelby C. Johnstone, of J ohnstone's
Restaurant dominating the corner of
Cicero and Peterson, says that hi s
restaurant, throug h modern management
techniques, offers g uests the same high
quality
"old-fashioned , home-cooked
meals" for any _ given dish today as
six months from today.
The swishin g of s kirt s repla ces the
traditional fluff y C'hef's hat as a n allfeminine s ta_ff of cooks (not a man in
sight)
prepares scores of different
dishes. Each cook i s fully trained to
carry on in another's job of preparation.

DEMPSJER- CRAWFORD
Specialt y of the hous e is "Fried
Chicke n .. . a ll yo u can eat for $1.90,"
and Grassfie ld points out with pride
th at he . uses no frozen meats. The
l og istic s of se rving 1,100 to 1,2 00 fresh
chickens a week is ably solved with
s hipments, direc t from nearby Dundee,
that are a day to a day and one-half
fresh.
Gras sfie Id's statement of "all the
chicken you can eat" he refer s to with
a re cen t am u s in g incid e nt of a hungry
college stude nt who ordered a plate of
fried chicken (which i s one-half a bird),
polished this off with a seco nd , ordered
a third for desert, a nd followed up with
a fourth order.
Following chi s gastronomical exercise, he paid his $1.90 and thanked the
management. Fortunately for the management , th e "bird" who c an finish off two
complete chickens is rare inde ed.
Johnstone's also is noted for its ownbaked pasteries from their shop in Lincoln Village . Dozens of dese·rts are
served, fresh from the bakery, a nd highly recommended for th is season of the
year is fresh strawberry whipped cream
pie made from berries flown in from
California and delivered directly co
John s ton e's Bakery.
Diners enjoy comfort, wonderful food,
good service, and pleasant background

We sipped jav a early one a. m. last week with
Bill and Joe Osmanski, former great full backs
of the Chicago Bears. Bill scored the first touch·
do wn in that fantastic 73·0 rout of the Washington
Redskins back on December 8, 1940. The brothers
made mother Osmanski mighty proud when they
starred with the 1946 world champion Bears.
They are both soft-spoken New Englanders who
wouldn't harm a fly, and huge though the y are ,

Have you heard about the wealthy Skokian who
went to England and bought a new Rolls Royce
complete with chauffeur. He brought it back to
our fair city, but a· month later was spotted by
friends, strolling down Pirrk Avenue in New York .
They asked him what he was doing in the east.
"I've just put my Rolls and the chauffeur on the
Queen Mary for England,'' he said. ''It's time
for the thousand mile check."

for state representative two
years ago, largely because
most Democratic strength in
the district was organized by
Krier' s township organization
behind the successful candidacy of Thomas J. Halpin of

for a Democrat - for his handling of fin an c e committee

Robert Jerome Dunne and

Some thin gs a woman does while driving:
Sh~ sets the rear-view mirror so that she can
see herself rather than what's going on behind
her.
If she's on the way to work in the morning,
she can also navigate while putting on makeµp,
nail polish, combing her hair and readjusting
her seams.
Sometimes, if the music on the radio is good,
she'll keep time with her foot and move her
shoulders about to the rhythm. Or, she might
possibly sing along with the recording artist. ·
Of course, if the windows of the car are closed
the sight of a moving body with lips mouthin~
unheard sounds can be quite ridiculous.
If the driver is like us, she will be what is
known· as a "stop light" reader. This means you
keep a book beside you in the car and when you
are stopped by a red light, you utilize those few
moments to do some reading.
The average female driver is quite capable of
keeping an eye on the road, an eye on other
traffic and a hidden third eye on the children in
the back seat when she turns around to tell them
to "sit down and stop .fighting or I'll beat the
daylight out of you when I get home."
All of these tliings a woman motorist is able
to accomplish only because she is basically a
good driver.
Some things a man does while driving:
Nothing. Outside of having mastered the art
of being able to drive with only one arm, the
average male driver needs all his faculties to
kl\ow what he's doing.
High fashion has not only penetrated the salon
it is making its way into the home, the shop, th;
office and now the bistros.
Some of the smartest dressed gals we have
seen are the pretty hostesses at the Blackhawk
Restaurant. In empire blue tweed wool sheaths,
they look more like mannequins than hostesses .
That ace photographer, Norman Knabusch, has
been trying to talk some of the female employees
of The Villager into posing for photos while
operating a hula-hoop. The only gimmick - no
hoop.
Read an article recently that explained how
a widow can keep fro·m being lonely - by keeping
active and thinki_ of others.
ng
This is fine. However, loneliness is not a
state of physical being, rather a state of mental
existence. It's amazing how busy a person can
be, how much they can laugh and even enjoy
themselves, and yet be terribly, terribly lonely.
When we are lonely, it is not for crowds or
things, but rather for an individual. While activity
can lessen or cover up the loneliness, it can
never completely erase it.
If I hear a funny story . .... And laugh a bit too
loud . . ... If it seems I'm always smiling . ....
As if there never was a cloud . .. .. If I can take
as well as give.it . ... . When it comes to repartee
.. ... If I give one the impression . .... All I
want to do is play . .... If folks think I'm some·
times brazen . . . .. Inclined to act a bit blase . ...
Like most women I'm an actress ..... And don't
really feel #hat way.

Edwin Baron of the now
famous "five-day sleep" exper·
iment with the Gary housewife ,
galloped to the rescue of his
wife this week .
Mrs . Baron, taken to the
Michael Reese Hospital over
the weekend for a caesarean
operation , suddenly developed
a heart condition, high blood
pressure and a fast pulse which
made it impossible for doctors
to proceed with the s urgery .
Baron hypnotized his wife
and· the next day she went
back to the operating room
where she chatted and waited
for the first cry of their new
son , James - weighing 7 lbs.
and 6 ozs.
Baron, who heads the Hypnotism Institute of Chicago ,
has helped many prospective
mothers to have their children
with the help of hypnosis, but
hadn't thought of using it on
his wife until the complications
set in.
The Barons live at 6626

Marching
Along Together
~
--FOR THIRTY-THREE YEARS
When it comes to the ideal working day, a
couple of Skokie men would appear to have it
made.
They're on the job from 8:45 to 9 a.m., and
.from 3:45 to 4 p.m. each week day- a total of
30 minutes "working" time. But it's not all beer
and skittles.
Francis L. "Fritz" Bastow of 5010 Louise
and John A. Ravencroft of 4952 Coyle are members of the "King's Jesters" trio which attained
fame in the 30' s. They have neve; worked apart
from one another in 33 years, but the nature of
their work ha·s varied. They began as instrumentalists in a small band, gained nationwide
attention as a vocal group with Paul Whiteman,
and now are chiefly engaged in acting on WBBM' s
zany Gold Coast' radio program twice a day.
The third member of the trio, George Howard,
lives in Chicago during the week and spends
weekends in Rochester, Indiana, the home town
where the Jesters got their start in 1925.
It was back in the era of raccoon coats and
bathtub gin that the three high school friends
teamed up as members of a band directed by
George Howard's older brother, Ayrton . Bastow
played guit~r and banjo, Ravencroft clarinet and
saxophone, and George Howard drums.
"We used to sing for our own amusement
traveling to and from band jobs," Bastow recalled.
"John had had training in harmony singing and
we just picked it up. When we played college
towns, we would do a lot of serenading and we
got a lot-.of practice that way.
"In those days, singers used megaphones and
the vocals weren't important to the band. Singing started to come into its own when records
became popular."
by BETTY NEFF
Here's how the group looked when they were
broadcasting over radio station WCMA. Standing
(left to right) are Bastow , Ravencraft cmd George
Howard. Seated at piano is Ayrton Howard,
George's brother. Note old microphone.
Start Upward <;:limb
In 1929, as the financial world began to topple,
a pianist named Ray McDermott heard the trio
and persuaded them to go to his home town of
Cincinnati and audition for radio station WL W.
The audition resulted in two radio contracts,
and the "Howard Trio" left the band and began
what they thought would be a permanent job with
the radio station.
"Those were the days when people used to
call up from 20 miles away and say, 'You're
coming in fine!' "Bastow smiled~
The trio was with the station just a year when
their big break came.
Paul Whiteman' s band had just made the movie,
''The King Of Jazz'', and its famed singing trio,
the "Rhythm Boysr" had remained on the west
coast. (One of the Rhythm Boys was Bing Crosby.)
Whiteman was looking for a new trio when his
band was booked into a Cincinnati hotel.
"He either heard us on the air or someone
told him about us." Ravencroft reminisced. "Any
way, he called us; we sang for him, and two
weeks later we joined the band.
"He was 'King of Jazz' and at first they were
going to call us 'The King's J azzsters,' but we
did a lot of comedy material and someone suggested 'The King's Jesters.' The name stuck."
It stuck too well.
What's In A Name?
Whiteman' s band, and the Jesters, came to
Chicago and the singing, clowning trio won a
number of radio contra~ts here in addition to
their appearances with the band. Their popularity
zoomed, and when Whiteman wanted them to sign
a new three-year contract with no raise in pay,
they declined.
'KINGS JESTERS' - GEORGE HOWARD AND
SKOKIE'S FRITZ BASTOW AND JOHN RAVENCROFT
HAVE NICE WORK, IF YOU
CAN GET IT.
"So he got another trio, and we lost d\Jr name,"
Bastow said ruefully, "But we still had radio
commitments. The first morning we went down
to do the show, the studio informed us we couldn't
use our name because Whiteman had wired them
and said if we did, he would sue CBS.
''The name had gotten pretty big, and we went
to lawyers to get it back, but we found we couldn't
do anything about it. It set us back badly. We
floundered around under many different names,
most of them given us by various sponsors - the
Pabst-ett Jesters, the O-Cedar Melody Men, the
Realsilk Jesters, the Song Fellows. None of them
caught on."
Meanwhile, Whiteman had given the "King's
Jesters'' name to another group, w~ich failed to
become the hit the Ravencroft-Bastow-Howard
trio had. So Whit~man gave them the old ''Rhythm
Boys'' title and sold the ''King's Jesters'' name
back to its.first owners. They had been nameless,
reaily, for eight months, and their bookings had
suffered.
Business picked up again, though, and the
group was busy mostly in radio, until 1935. The
winter of 1933-34 was ptrticularly prosperous,
when they were appearing regularly on six coastto-coast commercial network shows a week.
"We also were perhaps the first singing group
on the Breakfast Club," Ravencraft said. "That
was considered punishment in those days - people
didn't believe in morning radio. We used to come
in from our work in hotels and it was such a
short time before the show that we'd go to work
'
in our tuxedos.
"It was nothing then to stay at the studio all
night long trying to hammer out an idea to please
a sponsor. Nowadays the sponsor is allotted
so much of a performer's time, and he pays for
every minute over that."
Washed Out
By
So,ip Operas
When soap operas got a foothold in daytime
radio, tbe Jesters decided to form a band and
play hotel and dance dates.
"There was an established price for music
and none for actors at that time," Bastow remarked, '' so they could hire all the actors they
wanted for $5 a show. We were used to several
commercial shows a week, and we got down to
two a week, we thought we'£! better try something else."
The dep_ression was hitting the entertainment
. business, and the . hotel dining rooms - "which
were nice lush places to play," Bastow said weren't able to afford the big bands any more.
The Jesters organized a small group, six men
and a girl, which could offer variety - they furnished the floor show as well as dance music.
They played engagements at the Brown Hotel
in Louisville, the St. Francis in San Francisco,
and the Terrace Gardens in Chicago, among
others. This cycle lasted until 1940, when they
went back into radio as a singing group because
music was coming back into its own on the air.
They had four commercial coast-to-coast
shows a week with what is now ABC but was
then the Blue Network of NBC. That lasted just
a year when the young man starred on the series,
Walter Patterson, was called into service.
''We contacted our old friends at CBS,''
Ravencroft said, "and Ben Bernie was just starting a show for Wrigley . That was our entrance
to WBBM again, and we've been there ever since.''

The present "Gold Coast show" began 12
years ago, and the Jesters have been with it for
11 of those years. They _
had always done a lot
of clowning in their musical act, but their chore
on Gold Coast is almost exclusively acting and
has been all along.
"I wonder how we had the nerve," Ravencroft
mused.
Both Ravencroft and Bastow moved to Skokie
13 years ago because they wanted a good school
system for their children . Their ties to one
another are strong. Each man married a girl he
had known in high school back in Rochester,

Indiana, and for a time the two couples lived
in the same apartment building.
Bastow and Ravencroft even own a car together
to travel to and from the studio. John drives one
week, Fritz the next, and they share expenses.
They leave home each day at 7:20 a.m.,
rehearse about half an hour, and · do the show.
Then they glance over the next day'~ scripts and
return home about 10. They leave again at 2: 30
for the 3:45 show and get home around 4:50. And
that 's the day's work.
"Nice work if you can get it," the interviewer
commented.
"Nice work if you can keep it," Ravencroft
retorted. "There's a good deal of tension to it 10 new scripts a week.and the short rehearsals,
never knowing what character you will be thrown
into and not being actors to begin with - and
there's the split second timing. It's not such a
breeze as it sounds."
Both Bastow and Ravencroft are grandfathers.
Bastow' s daughters are Jane Trausch, 25, of
Glenview, and Susan Bach, 21, of Fort Wayne,
Ind. Susan is the mother of 2½-year-old Andy.
Ravencroft' s daughter, Sandra Carnelli, 26, lives
in Highland Park with her husband and two year-old son, Craig. His son,· John A. Ravencroft
III, 21, is a senior at the University of Illinois.

Simon S. Porter , the distinguished Justice of
the Peace for Niles Township, really "laid down
the law" t9 a group of 70 ladies recently.
He addressed members of the R .B. Rayburn
Research Foundation at the Cork Restaurant in
Skokie.
The greying jurist opened his speech by defining women and, incidentally, newspapers.
Said Porter:
"Women are like newspapers. Here's why" 1. They all have a definite form.
"2. They always have the last word.
"3. Back numbers are not in demand .
"4. They have great influence.
"5. You can't believe everything they say
(Why, Si!)
"6. They're thinner than they used to be.
"7. They get along by advertising, and
''8. Every man should have his own and not
try to borrow his neighbor's''."
This established, Porter went on to instruct
the ladies on fashions. Using the illustrations
appearing here, he offered the following salient
observations:

Cream colored face brick, white shingled roof,

home by B . Stromberg Construction Co. , Inc.,
attractive as well as practical.
by SHERYL LEONARD
Honey toned ash paneling , combined with
many other unusual and fascinating features,
combine to make tfie model home constructed by
B. Stromberg Cons truction Co., Inc., 5831
Dempster St., Morton Grove, one of beauty and
practicality .
The balance of color and design starts with
the cream colored face brick and white shingled
roof of this tri-level home.
A green front door blends in color harmony
with the white and green McKee door on the
double attached garage.
Geraniums invi te a t tention in the brick planter
just outside the front door.
Slate Floor in Entry
A Jewel-tone slate floor in the reception hall
takes care that outside soil is not brought into
the home . Unusual, too, is the fact that this
e~try provides easy access to every room in the
home without having to cross one room to enter
another.
From this attractive foyer, one can enter the
living-dining area, the powder room, the ki tchen,
the activity room or the bedrooms on the upper
level.
The living-dining room is situated in the back
of the home , permi tting private viewing of the
outdoors through the 16 foot Thermopane ceiling
to floor windows.
Ash Wood Makes Impa ct
The impact of the brown ash wood paneling is
immediately felt in this room as it blends into
the coloring of the ivory 12 foot Norman brick
fireplace , with its raised hearth and log storage
under the hearth .
Copper "bull's eye" spots in the sloped
ceiling provide attractive and restful lighting .
Palmquist Furniture of Morton Grov e, which
furnished this model home, used contemporary
furnishings . in bronze, beige and burnt orange,
with mahogany woods, as a perfect setting for
this room.
The use of black Syrocco accessories on the
brick wall of the fireplace added a distinctive
touch .
A door from the dining area part of this room
leads directly to a spacious porch.
Hand Painted Artistry
Ernest Noack, the artis t whose work appears
in many of the unusual homes in this area ,
created a Japanese scene on one wall of thi;:
powder room off of the entry. Her e the ash wood
is treated in a platinum finis h bri nging a light
note to the cabine t s that blends wi th the Formica count er top, whi t e fixtures and grey accessories .
On the other side of the foyer is the cheerful,
attractive and so very practical ki t chen and
breakfast area .
J apanese blossoms and butterflys, hand
painted on a salmon colored background by
Noack, grace the upper walls of the breakfast
area, with the lower part of the wall paneled in
the ash wood.

A Skokie builder has won a
court victory over the City of
Chicago in a rezoning mix-up
over a building permit.
Ci·rcui .. Judge Harry M. Fisher has ordered the city to reinstate a permit issued to builder
Jack E. Green, 5611 Dempster,
Skokie, for construction of a
duplex at 3212 Hollywood Ave.,
\
Chicago.
The city had revoked the
building permit July 29, 11 days
after issuing it. The permit was
issued on the basis that the
property was in a duplex zone.
Actually, the property since
April 9 has been classified as
a single family residential zone.
It was rezoned by the• city
council.
Judge Fisher held the permit
was a valid one and that Green
has the right to erect the structure in accordance with plans
and specifications submitted
to the building department.
The excavation and foundation footings were completed
when the permit was revoked,
the court was informed. Green
said at the time he had almost
$10,000 alre ady invested in the
project. _ _ _ _ _ __

New Chevy Featu res
Styling Transfo rmation
A complete sty ling transforma cion, along with more
safety features, more comfort
and better performance is announced for the new 1959
Chevrolet passenger car line,
available at Mancuso Chevrolet .
The cars, which went on
nationwide display last week,
represent one of the most imaginative designs ever to come
from the automobile industry ,
according to Genera l Motors
Corp., the manufacturer.
In shape , detail and styling
is reflected the influence of a
"space-conscious " ag e . Lines
sweep rearward in a virtually
level plane. Tops are flatter
and visibility 1s dramatically
increased.
Here are some of the 1959
mechanical highlights:
1. A new six-cylinder engine,
the "Hi-Thrift" , so called
because of its added economy.
2. Larger braking surfaces ,
benefitting by flanged drums
and 27 % more lining to provide
surer stops.
GETS AWARD
Elaine Korsan, 5 343 Main
St., Skokie, employed as a
secretary to vi ce president
H.F. Walton in the home office
of the Allstate Insurance, has
received a gold pin commemorating her five years with Allstate.
3. Turbo glide transmission of
advanced design .
4. Easier steering and inclusion of a second, shockresistant universal joint.
5. A new acrylic lacquer, a
nine-step metal finishing process to add depth to color for
remarkable luster longevity .
6. Improved visibility. Glass
now extends higher into the
roofs and curves farther inward.
7 . Improved electrical system , which battery charging
circuit now separate from the
generator-to-load circuit.
Above are just a few of the
· many innovations. Others can
be detailed by the "men from
Mancuso . "

(;
I have al ways felt that the passing of the
steam locomotive was the end of an era.
It was the steam locomot~e and the trains
it pulle d that made this country what it is today.
When the railroads sent their networks of steel
ribbons reaching across this great country of
ours in all directions, they carried to its unexplored corners the products of midwestern and
eastern man ufacture.
The steam locomotive brought the farmer his
tools so that he might till the soil. The steam
locomotive brought building materials so that
g iant cities and small towns might grow from
barren prairie land. The steam locomotive brought
the hardware and industrial goods that started
the little shops on their way to becoming huge
mills and factories. And as the steam locomotive
returned from the four corne rs of our country it
brought with it the fruits of our farmlands - wheat,
oats, barley, corn, rye, and hay. The steam
locomotive brought back fish, meat, gold, silver,
granite , brick, clay eggs, wool, cheese, , poultry,
and livestock. The steam locomotive made America great and strong and the industrial giant
she is today. Yes, and the steam locomotive
brought people - it opened up the frontiers of
the West. The steam locomotive .crossed and re crossed America until our country looked like
one giant circulatory system,
But the steam locomotive has not completely
vanished from the American scene becaus e of
a man named Norman. Sandley - a man who loves
the steam locomotive - a man who will not cast
it aside . This sentiinental gentleman is president
of the Riverside and Great Northern Railway in
Wiscons in. The R & GN is America's most picturesque and only remaining steam railroad. A
t rip on this miniature line is something you will
not s oon forget.
We had the pleasure of boarding the afternoon
local at East Station recently . Onr engineer was
Mr. John Delmore .... for many years in the same
capacity on the Omaha branch of the Chicago
and Northwestern Railroaq. My lovely wife Elaine,
the four Hellyer children and I, along with some
light hand baggage (mostly camera equipment
and diapers), had just seated ourselves we heard
the familiar, but almost forgotten, sound of the
steam locomotive whistle .
This whistle topped a beautiful Atlantic type
s t eame r .... the type I took for granted as I grew
up in Elmhurst, Ill., along the Galena Division
of the C & NW.
Precisely at 3 p.m., Mr. Delmore pulled his
string of varnish out of the station and we were
on our way, running ov er the original grade of
the old La Cro ss e and Milwaukee Railroad da ting back to pre-Civil War days.
The route over which we traveled was used
in the opening of the great Northwest Territ_ ry,
o
and many illustrious f igure5 who took part in
that great event journe yed this s ame way. We
roared through the sleepy little hamlet of Summit
at 3:02 p.m. and at 3:04 p.m. we stopped at
Rockdale to take on water.
This took but a few moments and then we
were highballing it down the mainline once again.
Engineer Delmore poured on the coal, and again
I was taken back to my youth and the Galena
Division when the acrid smell of engine smoke
came back into the passenger cars. This was
living! This was railroading!
At 3:08 p.m. we rushed past the little town
of Deer Pass . . .. where there are more four-legged
animals than two-legged ones.
Truly, this was an awe-inspiring trip as we
passed through magnificent rock cuts and scenic
canyons. This was the land of the Winnebagoes,
Yellow Thunder, Red Bird, and Blackhawk.
3: 10 p.m ..... Bilty Falls. 3: 11 p.m .... a mail
stop at the almost-forgotten town ofDeadwood.
The passenger agent came out and chatted
with us while the mail (one letter) was being
put aboard. He told us that the Riverside and
Great Northern Railway has spared no _ xpense
e
to purchase the finest passenger rolling stock
available, and that the steam locomotives are
the safest ever built, and were purchased to
insure speed and dependability.
He was telling us about the imported sand
used in the locomotive domes, and about the
crushed granite rock used on the roadbed, when
the whistle sounded and we were whisked out
of Deadwood for the last lap of our run - Western
Springs, the end of the line .
All too soon our trip was over so we decided
to return to East Station, so that we might visit
the R & GN yards and shops. Our return trip was
a fast one . . .. . a non-stop run because we had
picked up the mail and taken on water on the
westward run.
We found our tour through the Sandley Light
Railway Equipment Works to be most enjoyable
and enlightening. We were a bit surprised to
find the president of the road in a pair of overalls stretched out on the floor working on the
Stevenson gear of an American Standard locomotive ... circa 1860.
The entire mechanical exhibit is under the
supervision of Professor Robert Grimm, G.M.E.
This is a man who obviously loves the steam
locomotive, and he is more than happy to explain the intricacies of any and all things that
apply to this phase of railroading . He will. also
show y·o u the world's largest steam railroading
library with volumes dating back to 1831 .
If you long to relive for a brief period some
of the romance of your childhood, or if you have
children who are · too young to have known the
steam locomotive, plan a trip soon on the River·
side and Great Northern Railway . . . the leading
tourist line of America . You can reach East
Station by driving one mile west of Wisconsin
Dells on the Stand Rock Road . The fare ? 35¢.

�The City
that save d itsel f
And when we do .. . we can feel as our own
pain the pain we have cau.sed.
A city saved itself.
It was marked for destruction
because it was a city of violence.
Yet it was not destroyed-because
its people turned from viol~nce.
N ineveh -zi.,as the city. And Jonah was
the prophet who proclaimed its destruction.
The prophet did not understand why the
city was spared.
He had to be taught. A-nd what J onah had
to learn about Nine'veh, each of us
must learn in our own lives too.
It is this . . .
At that moment, we experience far more
than the pain of punishment. We close the
space between man and man.
For to share pain, as to share love,
joins us with someone else.
Certainly each of us can catalogue a long list
of the errors we make. An d these lists will
differ, as each of us is different.
The ancient liturgy includes such a list: the
errors almost all of us must continuously
strive to revok e.
Let us consider ju st one of these; an error
which has plagued many gener ations, and
which becom es increasin gly acute as the
blessings of our tim e iP.crease.
Our errors need not be final
We imagine, for example, that the best way to
protect ourselves is to concen,t rate on ourselves.
We withhold. We pull away. We try to
accumulate. We try to possess.
This is a familiar mistake. And often we continue
to make it, even though we know it's a mistake.
Yet we also have The power to defeat
our mistakes.
We can transform the error that separates us
into a good which brings us to,ge.t her.
This is j;he great possession of Man.
At any point in our lives, we have the power
to regret a mistake, to learn from it,
to advance from it.
Not merely to be sorry, but to accept responsibility for our errors, and the hurt we cause others.
We can atone.
And what of our teachers?
In the midst of abundance, we have turned
away from the people in whose hands we
have put the teaching of our children.
Everyone knows we must have the teacher and
the school to help us give wisdom and
character to our children.
Yet we continue to give less of ourselves, of
our imagination, of our energies and resources,
to the quality of our ch ildren's schooling
than to almost any other part of our life, today.
In the ways we fail to honor our parents
and teachers, we reject the wisdom we need
for ourselves as well as for our children.
~
Inevitably, we make mistakes. We are not perfect.
We are not expected to be perfect. We are human.
of the aging until we meet their need to
give us of their wisdom, their n eed to
continue to belong, to continu e to serve .
not merely to be served .
The sin we have committed in
lowering our parents and teachers
For many generations, we have tended to
think of the commandment to honor our
father and mother primar ily as it concerns
young people and their parents.
We do not suffidently remember- in fulfilling
our own •
gifts and the gifts of our time-that progress consists of more than going forward.
It must also mean going inward- to those
timeless truths with which men have struggled
since the Beginning. And when we do this . . .
But no time- limit was set on the commandment.
And now that science has bestowed on us
the gift of longevity, we are essentially
unprepared for it.
We have yet to learn how to remain child ren
to our parents after we ourselves have
become fathers and mothers.
We have yet to learn that, to keep the
generations ·of a family together, everyone
must be given the opportunity to serve.
That is why we cannot fulfill the deepest n eed
We, will remember that wisdom builds the house,
and that the teacher is the guardian of the city.
We will remember that each of our errors,
properly understood and corrected, can lead us
to still richer rewar ds of wisdom, of love
given and of love received.
For the sin we have committed in lowering
our parents and teachers, and for all our
errors, 0 God who forgives ... bear with us,
pardon us, grant us atonement.

Letters
To the
Editor
Skokie Chosen for First
Store in New Food Chain
Dear Editor:
A somewhat belated thanks
to you for the article and picture
of the Hula Hoop, which ap peared in the Villager.
Your newspaper was one of
the first , in fact the first, that
had a writeup on the Hula Hoop
in the Chicago Area.
The best of luck to you and
your staff. I'm sure the Villager
will be a . very successful
publication.
by TOM BRANAGAN
We frequently receive congratulatory communiques from subscribers who wi s h us Godspeed and say they'd like to help the
Villager along as much as possible. Sometimes they ask how
they can do this .
We believe the most significant contribution these persons
can make is to patronize our advertisers . Villager advertisers
are our real strength; they are merchants who have been generous
and farsighted enough to w~lcome and support a venture designed
to give Niles Township the finest possible community publication .
In a very real sense, these ladies and gentlemen have pioneered this new concept in weekly journalism every bit as much as
have we, its publishers.
·
If our individual readers make it a point to trade with Villager
advertisers -they will be giving us the finest kind of support.
Thank you again.
Yours, truly,
Pat Curran

at the same hour as the summer
services: low mass at 8 a.m.

Court
Skokie village officials were
to give their answer in court
tomorrow (Friday) to a demand
that they be forced to call a
special election on changing
the village's form of government.
Circuit Judge Cornelius J .
Harrington so ordered in a
hearing Tuesday. Harrington
presided in the temporary absence of Judge Harry Fisher.
However, Fisher was expected
to be back for Friday's hearing .
Proponents of a move to
government
change Skokie' s
from the village form to the
city council type have petitioned for a writ of mandamus
-an emergency measure whi ch
would make it mandatory that
village officials hold a referendum on the proposition before
Oct. 3.
At issue is the interpretation
placed on the Illinois sta tues
covering petitions which were
submi tted by persons favoring_
the change from the present
system.
The village fathers threw
out the petitions because 1,139
of the 2,748 turned in were
signed by persons who had
not voted in the last municipal
election. They based their
action on the wording of the
statute , which says that such
petitions must be signed by
"one-eighth of the electors of
any city voting at the last preceding municipal. election . "
The 2,748 figure covered more
than an eighth of those voting
in the 1957 election.
Those who circulated the
petitions say the statute should
be interpreted to cover any
qualified voter - even if he
didn't actually vote in 1957.
Under the city council , or
aldermanic, form of government
16 aldermen would be elected
-two from each of eight wards.
At present, the six village
trustees and the village president are elected "at large"
-by the entire electorate.
The status of Village Manager
Arthur Lowther under such a
change is in doubt. The petitions
made no provision for a village
manager. The village manager
form was voted in at the 1957
referendum. However, the government-changers say the systen would be retained .

''My students might be future theatrical stars
but I consider it much more important that these
children learn, through dramatic training, to be
happy, well adjusted adults."
This is the teaching philosophy of Lester
Netzky of 7328 Keystone Ave., Lincolnwood,
director of the Tom Thumb Players. His students,
approximately sixty-five percent from Ni 1 es
Township, are an outstanding group of children
whose dramatic abilities have received wide
recognition.
An audience of several hundred hushed,
attentive children, attending a performance of
"Beauty and the Beast" presented by the Tom
Thumb Players, was a great tribute to the drama
group. During the school term, "Beauty and the
Beast"· was one of three Tom Thumb Players'
productions sponsored by the Niles Township
Parent Teachers Association . The dramatic
talent, discipline, and training of the children
was particularly evident during a dress rehearsal
attended by the Villager.
These talented youngsters combine a serious
interest in drama with all the exuberance of
-youth. Although Netzky's students range in age
from four to eighteen and study drama, dancing,
and singing, most of the drama students are in
the eight to fifteen-year-old group.
On the stage, the Tom Thumb Players have
appeared in "Pinocchio," "A King Is a King,"
"Hansel and Gretel", and "Beauty and the
Beast'' before hundreds of school children from
Niles Township.
Netzky has been acknowledged by critics as
one of the country's great children's theater
directors. He was a portege of the late Maria
Ouspenskaya, international actress of Hollywood,
and has appeared with and directed· Eddie Dowling, Edward Evertt Horton, Ch a rl es Farrell ,

NE X T PAGE)
Radio and TV Stars
The group has been featured in a series of
children's classics and fairy tales on WNMPEvanston, "The Queen of Hearts" on WCFL,
and "Rescue" on WFJL-FM.
Television audiences will remember the Tom
Thumb Players in a 26 week series on the "HiLadies" program, WGN; the "Bob and Kay Show, "
WNBQ; and the "Breakfast Club," WBBM.
Individual Tom Thumb Players have appeared
on "Super Circus," "They Stand Accused",
"Motorola TV Hour" , and "Captain Hartz and
Marianne."
Since 1946, when·he organized the Tom Thumb
Players Theater·Studios on Chicago's northwest
side, Lester Netzky .has devoted himself to the
training of children in all phases of the theater
arts.

Douglas Montgomery, Mildred Natwick and Boris
Tumarin. Netzky was a student of Margaret P.
McClean, author of "Good American Speech, "
and Hanya Holm, dancer and Choreographer.
Netzky began his teaching career in New
York, with adult students, but he prefers teaching children. "I love children," 1he says, "and
it is easier to communicate with them since
they are not burdened with inhibitions and preconceived ideas."
Having a son and daughter of his own gives
N etzky an added advantage in understanding
and training his students. He stresses the importance of giving his young students a feeling
of importance and being understood.
"If a child is born with talent, it can be developed but every child is not a star," he says .
Above all he wants the children to be natural
on stage as weU as off stage.
Regardless of their individual talents, his
students are taught to play the lead roles as
well as the minor ones. Alternate casts were
used for the two performances of "Beauty and
the Beast," affording the children an opportunity
to portray more than one role.
Through creative drama, Lester Netzky strives
to develope the personality of his students. He
frequently writes monologues keyed to the
student's personality.
Tom Thumb drama students follow six levels
of training, ranging from the beginner to those
trained for players groups and the professional
touring company. The children are taught creative
acting, pantomine , speech, stage technique, and
characterization. They manage their own costume
changes and, in the advance classes, learn the
principles ·to makeup.
Classes consist of one to one-and-one-half
hours of group instruction weekly, after regular
school hours and on Saturdays . The average
class has twelve students. Netzky is assisted
by an outstanding faculty of teachers in the
drama, music, and dance departments.
With the expert application of makeup Lester
Netzky ages twelve-year-old Donna Gendell of
7331 Kolmar Ave., Lincolnwood for her role as
an old man in "Beauty and the Beast."

the Beast Michael Goodman, 12, of 4044 Greenwood St., Skokie.

Before giving the children a script to study,
Netzky tries to discover how familiar they are
with the story. The children relate the story
familiarizing themselves, and the class, with
the plot. He finds this system very successful,
specially in the case of fairy tales such as "J ack
and the Bean Stalk'', which has 30 to 40 versions.
On stage, these pre-teen Thespians portray
their roles with outstanding poise, sincerity,
and conviction. During the "Beauty and the
Beast'' rehearsal there was a minimum of
forgotten lines and some outstanding incidents
of clever improvision. Genuine ability and understanding are required for young actors to substitute
their own words, thoughts, and feelings for the
written script.
When the group presented "Hansel and Gretel"
there 1.pas a misunderstanding about the date of
the production. The result was a much shorter
time in which to learn the script and rehearse
but the children were so adept at improvision
that the audience was completely unaware of
the situation.
School children from Niles Township can look
forward to another series of plays by the Tom
Thumb Players. The group will again be sponsored by the Niles Township Parent Teachers
Association.
From here, it is difficult to tell whether Lester
Netzky' s influence on the brilliance of tomorrow's
stars, or the inspiration and entertainment given
both children and adults by the productions of
the Tom Thumb Players, is the greater of his
contributions to culture and society.
Be1uty, Nancy Stagman is a bit reluctant to
look at the Beast, played by Michael Goodman
of 4044 W. Greenwood St., Skokie. Dorma Gendel/,
one of the old men, is in the background.
The two old men, Donna Gendel/ and Maureen
Chidel, seem to be playing a trick on unsuspectting "Beauty", Nancy Stagman.

The Portland Cement As~ociation's new Struc·

testing machine." Except for floor and founda- ·

precast concrete units. It contains facilities
for structural testing unmatched anywhere.

The ''world's largest testing machine'' was
publicly shown for the first time last week at the
Research and Development Laboratories of the
Portland Cement Association in Skokie.
The "machine" is actually a three-story high
Structural Laboratory, constructed above ground
entirely of precast concrete building units which
were tilted or lifted into place by giant rigs and
cranes. The massive floor of the building is
buildfog is designed like an exceptionally strong
bridge, and is pierced by a total of 690 holes.
By using relatively simple apparat.us in combination with the floor, technicians at the new
laboratory are able to conduct many tests that
cannot be carried out anywhere else in the world.
The building, part of a $3 million expansion
of the Association's research and development
facilities, is expected to produce information
having a far-reaching effect on. design and construction of many types of concrete structures.
It adds 22,400 sq. ft. to the 103,400 sq . ft. of
research facilities already at the site. A second
new laboratory, a Fire Research Center, will
be placed in operation early in 1959 to provide
an additional 35,400 sq. ft. of test space.
Floor Two Feet Thick
The Structural Laboratory is unique primarily
because of its testing floor. The top surface
of the floor is 24 in. thick, and is joined to an

18-in, thick basement floor by a series of 8-½ ft.
high walls. In cross section, it resembles a large
hollow box-girder bridge. Actually, the floor
is built much stronger than an ordinary bridge
because it acts as a test frame for all the forces
applied to specimens in the Laboratory.
The top surface of the floor is pierced by holes
every three feet along its 120-ft. length and 56ft. width. To make most tests, steel rods are
attached to the test beam or girder, and extended
downward through the holes to connect with
hydraulic jacks located in the basement. These
jacks pull down on the rods, exerting enormous
loads on the test structures above.
The Laboratory earns its title as "the world's
largest testing machine" not only because of
its size, but because of the tremendous test
loads it can handle. The floor can withstand
pressures produced by the hydraulic jacks of
more than 10 million pounds. By comparison,
one of the largest conventional testing machines,
recently installed, c an produce a Io ad of 5
million pounds. In addition, the Structural Laboratory can apply its loads easily at any point,
and in any direction, on specimens of practically
any size or shape.
In the building, a floor slab or roof shell can
be subjected to local !~ads of as high as 30,000
lb. per sq. ft. A slab the size of the ~ntire test·

the floor are hydraulic jacks which pull down
on the rods. This beam was later broken under
a total load of 360,000 lb-.

Reserves Vita I
At one time in Korea ,. aver 54% of all Marine
pilots were Marine air reservists with practically
the same percentage for ground crews . One out
fo every three missions flown by all forces in
Korea was flown by activated Marine or Naval
air reservist;s.
To the American taxpayer, the training of
these Marine Air Reserves not only represent
efficienc;:y in time of war, but economy in time
of peace. It costs less; than one cent of the Naval
defense dollar to maintain both the Marine and
Naval Reserve.
Six reserve squadrons can be maintained for
the cost of one regular squadron.
The entire air-ground exercise on the West
Coast was completed without the cost of a single
aviation accident or casualty, also; nor were
there any aviation accidents to mar the entire
West Coast phase of training .
This training is all directed toward one pur•
pose; to enable the American people to stand
up to any aggressor and say- "Don't tread on
US - spelled U.S.!"

floor could be subjected to a load of many
thousands of lb. per sq. ft. A 50-ft. long beam
can be given a total load of some 2 million
pounds - forces considerably in excess of those
that actual structures are required to withstand.
In fact, according to Dr. A. Allan Bates, the
Association's vicepresident for research and
development, the floor is designed to handle
every test for which the staff could imagine a
future need, plus a little more.
The new laboratory is already at work testing
various types of structures and building units.
A project is now underway to develop additional
engineering information about newer t ypes of
~oncrete shell roofs. This type of roof, which
can span great distances with a shell of concrete only a few inches thick, has became
increasingly popular /or large buildings such
as stadiums, aircraft hangars and exhibition
halls.
Another project is aimed at development of
better methods of connecting precast concrete
units, such as factory-produced beams, wall
panels, columns and girders. Prestressed concrete, a very rapidly growing type of concrete
construction, will also be studied, to extend .
its applications still further.
Building Interesting in Other Ways
Although the testing floor is the most unusual
portion of the new laboratory, the rest of the
building shows off some advanced practices in

Cross-sectional view shows how one type of
testing is carried out in the Porth nd Cement
Association's new Structural Laboratory. The
test floor is designed by bridge design methods
to act as a tremendously strong firder. In the
test shown, loads are applied by hydraulic jacks
under. the floor acting on steel rods that extend
through holes to specimens above the floor. ,4.
50-ft. long girder can be subjected to a 2 million
lb. load in this manner.
the structural and architectural use of concrete.
The entire laboratory above the first floor
was assembled from precast units, erected by
power equipment. These units were designed
by a new method of engineering analysis called
"ultimate strength design," which is beginning
to supersede the method currently used by most
structural engineers. The "ultimate strength"
method takes into account more exactly than
older methods the inherent strengths of concrete
and reinforcing steel, and makes possible the
construction of longer spafis and higher buildings
out of reinforced concrete.
The walls of the building were cast in forms
lined with rubber mats , After the concrete had
hardened, the mats were stripped away, leaving
the wall surfaces with an attractive, textured
surface.
The steel used for reinforcement was specially
rolled from alloy steel having about twice the
strength of ordinary reinforcing. The concrete
is also much stronger than that used in most
structures.
The entire building is air-conditioned to a
constant temperature and humidity to prevent
atmospheric changes . that might affect test
results. Three stories of offices and shops are
located at one end of the building, and th e
basement is utilized for additional shops and
storage. Test specimens are usually cast right
in the laboratory.
Second Laboratory Completed
The Structural Laboratory is under the direction of Dr . . Eivind Hogne~tad, Manager of the
Association's Structural Development Section,
and is under the overall supervision of Douglas
McHenry, Director of Development.
A second building recently erected at the
Laboratories, the Fire Research Center, has
been completed but is not operational. It will
be equipped next spring with several huge furnaces for testing the fir~ resistance of full-size
concrete beams, slabs and structural members.
It will be the only laboratory in the United States
equipped for this specific type of work.
Other fire testing laboratories, such as Underwriters Laboratories in Chicago, are devoted
to establishing fire resistance ratings. The
Portland Cement Association laboratory will
be used primarily for research aimed at improving the fire resistance of concrete and concrete
building elements.
The Portland Cement Association is a national
organization to imp~ove and extend the uses of
concrete. It has · its headquarters in Chicago,
and 9ffices in 32 major cities of the United
States and in British Columbia, C_ nada.
a
Its Research and Development Laboratories
in Skokie are the largest in the world devoted
to research on cement and concrete.

FLOOD CONTROL
A comprehensive flood control study estimates communities within the Metropolitan
Sanitary District of Greater
Chicago will shell out upwards
of two billion dollars in building local s e wers duri ng the
next 50 yea rs.
To cope wi th thi s vastly
expanded sewer network and
also control future extreme
floods, the report recommends
a big construction program by
the s a nitary di strict in the
next half century.
The study was released by
William F. Patterson, sanitary
district pr esi dent. It is bein g
studie«.
The pro jects recommended
and estimated costs include:
For the north branch of the
Chicago River above Nile s:
A lagoon sy stem above T ouhy
avenue in Niles to store two
inches of runoff, also enlargement downstream from Niles
of the channel, and miscellaneous small di tches . Total
cost: $ 16 million . C o st of
initial phase: $11 million.
Channel enlargements- and
pumping station at Wilmette ,
along with a detention basin \

One of the major "firsts"
for the team this year, is that
thi s is the first year the Varsity squad will have more than
a handful of seniors. Last year
there were 9; this year there
are 18.
The addition of two new
coaches to the staff is another
important "first." Bob Berg
joins Freshman Coach J oho
Cole, and Tony Viola will aid
Sophomore coach Griff MacDonald. Head coach Joseph
Yonto, and assistant coacl;ies
Frank Mariani and Don Nie
continue to work with the Varsity team.
As far as Notre Dame students
are concerned, the biggest first
is the completion of the football field, meaning home

an d severa l counc1 mem ers
came to verbal blows, the Grove
Auto Hotel located in th e
Classic Bowl building at Waukegan and Caldwell was again
denied a building permit by the
Morton Grove village board
Tuesday night.
Mayor Koller again urged
that the motel, to be operated
by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Alongi,
be given a building permit.
During the lengthy hassle, he
won Trustees Shea and Breese
over to his side, but Trustees
Geise, Meyer, Reiter and St.
Pierre voted against the permit.
Koller contended that the
Alongis had done ·nothing
illegal and were entitled to a
permit. He felt that they would
get it ultimately so why delay
the verdict.
The dissenting foursome said
they didn't want to be railroaded into making any fast
decision, while denying the
pei:mit, agreed to take the
matter up again for a final decision next Tuesday.
Their gripe was the way the
motel entrepreneurs went 3 bout
putting their project through.
While the building at Waukegan
and Caldwell was okayed for
business purposes, it was not
specifically okayed for a motel.
The dissenting trustees contended that the Alongis shifted
to a motel operation without
getting the village board's
approval.
Counsel Emanuel A. Rissman
pleaded that · the board give
his clients, the Alongis, a permit as they were suffering undue hardship. He contended
that the building commissioner
and fire marshall had okayed
building plant5 calling for a
motel and on this basis the
Alongis had sunk their life
savings of $25,000 into the
proposed auto hotel.
lengthy
What caused the
session were delegations of
property owners who contended
that it was not right for the
board to issue a permit for one
type of business, only to find
that the permit was being utilized for another p u r po s e.
Specifically, in this case a
permit was given for small
shops and business offices.
Later, without getting an okay,
the building owners leased the
gpace for an auto hotel of 17
units.
What finally satisfied the
property owners was a pledge
by the board to have a ruling
ready and passed next Tuesday
no interior or exterior structural changes can be made on
any new construction in the
village, without getting a permi"t from Mayor Koller.
This ruling will be a .. stopgap" measure until the new
zoning law and building code,
to be unveiled next week, is
finally adopted after public
hearings and debates are held.

Charge Dale Boy
With Manslaughter
A court will deter min e
whether Jeffry Bruce Dale, 13,
deliberately shot his mother,
Erna, 42, in their Skokie home
Aug. 18.
Young Dale reportedly was
ch a r g e d with manslaughter
Tuesday by the Cook County
grand jury. The action followed
lines of a recommendation by
a coroner's jury Aug. 27.
Mrs. Dale was shot twice in
the head as she lay on a davenport in her living room. The
youngster claims the shots
were fired accidentally.
However, Chief of Detectives
Martin J. Conroy of Skokie says
the boy changed his account
of the slaying three times. In
a·ddition, certain doubts have
been raised as to how two such
accurate shots could have been
fired accidentally.
Authorities said that Jeffry
had a record of vandalism,
petty theft and burglary a year
or two ago while the family
lived in Niles. The Dales recently moved to 4908 Carol
Ave., Skokie.
If convicted of manslaughter,
the boy would face a penalty
of 1 to 14 years.

Sco oter Law
In an effort to thwart any
possible accidents or fatalities
to scooter drivers, the Skokie
village board Saturday passed
an ordinance that all drivers
of such vehicles must be at
least 16 years old and must
have an auto driver's license.
Additionally, the new village
law forbids scooter drivers to
carry passengers.
Effective Sept. 20, the law
calls for fines of not less than
$25 nor more than $200 for persons convicted of disobeying
the "safety scooter" law .

said Chest president Norman
Schack of Skokie today.
But, he continued, ''it is
the follow through that Counts.''
"Hundreds of Workers have

if each will thoroughly cover
every one of their prospects,
victory will be assured,'' Schack
said.
Calls are now being , made
on professional men, industry,
business establishments and
every residence in the township.
Niles Township continues
to enjoy a phenominal growth
and with this tremendous
development come greater demands on the agencies, demands
which can only be met if and
when the community as a whole
comes to their aid with increassupport for their larger budget
needs, said Schack.
"Favorable reports are already being received at the

man attended the University of
Illinois. A December wedding
is planned.
The greateat treasure in the world is a friend .
That's why we're so delighted at having Gladys
Erickson back in the States after a tour of
Europe .
Gladys, who received all kinds of honors in
Greece, is the type of warm, vibrant, vivacious
person who makes friends with the great and
lowly alike.
For the un-informed, she is also just about the
greatest newspaper women in the business .
And yet, with all the attendant excitement of
her trip, she found time to think about her-friends
and brought back some exquisite gifts .
A beautiful filigree ring from Athens . .
dainty, precious cameo earrings from Rome ..
a "modern art" hankie from Paris.
We shall wear these lovely gifts. with pride,
as we wear Gladys Erickson's friendship .
We're still Dan Sorkin's 8:15 to 8:30 fan every
morning. We particularly like the bit where D~n
recommends using the "yellow pages" to find
everything one needs for a wedding . · "Gowns,
flowers, photographers, jewelers, shot - gun
dealers . . . . . "
A few months ago, we had the opportunity of
of taking some pictures and doing a story on a
kindergarten bike parade from the East Prairie
School in Skokie.
One little girl caught our eye. There was a
sweet, pensive quality about her face that made
us want to photograph her alone . This we did
and the picture was published.
But when school started this week, Joan Carol
Fish was not among the throng of hustling,
bustling little ones . No longer will she be riding
her gaily bedecked bike, defying the wind with
big hairbow s in her hair.
For someone else saw the sweet purity of this
child and two weeks ago He called her unto His
arms .
The little heart could not stand the strain of
what should have been a routine eye operation.
We shall always be grateful for God's hand
that guided ours to single out this one child,
from so many, to photograph. What was a picture
of a charming child in a newspaper, became a
treasured memento for a mother.
I walk along life's highway . . . .. And as I
travel all alone . . .. . I dream that I might be a
queen . . . . . Upon a royal throne . . . . . Or,
perhaps a lovely lady . . . . . Dressed in costly
finery .. . .. An actress or a dancer . . . . . .
Someone great, who might be me . .. .. I think
how very wonderful . . . . . If I could just be
where . .. .. All was shining silver . . . . . And
gold sparkled from my hair .. . . . Than I smile,
for these things . . . . . Can hold no real
desire . . . .. They are as empty embers . . . . .
Lying dead upon a fire .. . .. Let others have
their costly things . . . . . There's nothing more
I prize . . . . . Then memories of a wondrous
love . . . . . I found within your eyes . . . . . Yes ,
you can have your throne, my queen . . . .. Your
silver shining bright . . ... I' 11 take the rainbow

HERMITS KNOW
A funny little guy walked into the

"I've been meditating on an idea
that'll make us both famous . "
"So?" I asked.
He leaned over the counter. "Ever
hear of Kodacolor?"
"Oh, you are really out of it,
hermit, " I said . "Who hasn't heard
that Kodacolor is a wide-latitude
film for picture-taking under natural
or artificial light conditions?" (I
tried to confuse him . )
"Well," he said, "I got myself a
35mm camera a couple of years ago .
' Only one thing wrong with it. Can't
use Kodacolor Film. Seems you got
to own a roll-film camera to use
Kodacolor. "
"Let me get this straight, " I
said . "ls it your idea to have Kodak
make
Kodacolor Film for 35mm
cameras?"
ttThat's it," he said, jumping up
and down. "We'll be famous!"

I'm really sorry, hermit, ,, I said,
reaching for a roll of the new Koda•
color 135 Film. "It's jus t been
introduced."
I thought he was going to cry.
Then he s tarted twirling his beard
anit throwing gold dust all over the
counter. 11 Give me a case of that

�Fall
Fashions
The Villager feature section is devoted this week to a comprehensive study of fall fashion trends. For several weeks, society
editor Sheryl Leonard and chief photographer Norman Knabusch
have been busy scribbling and shooting in the fashionable salons
of Niles Township and Chicago. They came away with an excellent insight into what the well-dressed ladies and gentlemen
of the community can be expected to wear this season.
We invite fashion-mind ed readers into these informative, photofilled pages.

may enjoy the excitement of glamour and the
sophistication of style.
There is a silhouette for every figure a nd for
every age group: empire, chemise, trapeze, oval.
There are bold colors in exotic combinations .
Yes, de signers are enticing the style conscious
woman, offering her high-spirited fashion.
Women need no longer follow any one line to
be in style. This year the£e are no restrictions .
If a woman looks chic in a slim line she has
her choi c e of chemises; if she needs m.ore fullness there is the trapese; if she c an carry bulk,
there a re t he new widths with their deep-cut
armholes .
A woman may choose the pattern that flatters
he r - her costume may balloon at the hemline,
blouse at low or mid-body level, be shirred or
pleated high at the shoulders. She can decide
to enhance or disguise her waistline by wearing
the empire or relaxing in a low belted shift.
Fashion news is shap·e! But remember not
everybody can wear ev; ry line, even though she
may be a professional model. The average girl
or woman must look into the three way mirror
and see mor e than the clothes, she must see herself in th e cloth e s.
She will know which garment to buy when she
fee ls a glow of self-confidence and begins to
smile with s e lf-assurance.
Wide trapeze skirts make legs look young and
neat . The collarless, bared neckline, trendsetter of last year is not only in fashion but
flatters the w oman with a short neck. Tall
women can pamper their height with some of the
largest collars ever made.
The average woman can _
seek out her own
fashion and still achieve the perfec t fashion
combination - elegance and at-ease comfort . She
can feel relaxed and yet look sophisticated.
Generally speaking the waist line lifts. It may
be high belted or nipped close to the bodice, in
self belt materials or contrasting satin . The high
waist is a firm l y established fashion, but an
inch or two below the waist is wi t h us too .
Coats share the fashion spotlight a t last.
There are slim coats, coats with pleated backs
and cape effects, with collars that can be converted to cowls, shoulder yokes, t rapeze shapes
with a low belt a t the hipline, low necklines
and big necklin e s, collarless coats and larger
fur-trimmed collars, modified cocoon wraps, slim
shoulders or wide rounded shoulders-yes coats
are fashion news .
The fur industry is appealing to the woman
with a quick eye for the new fashion. Furs offer
the new big bulk look as well as the slim shape .
Today women can b enefit from t h e ge nius of fur
designers and dre ssers and dye rs who have c o mbined the i r talent s to offer the gre ate st selection
o f fur s in all price range s, in new and fresh
color tones, in e v ery wanted fur.
Persi a n lamb appears i n blac k and grey and
brown . Bl ack broadtail lends its elf beautifully
to shirring an d dr apery.
Beaver glows in ric h sparkling natural browns
or in half a dozen exciting h ue s which may be
redyed in later years to othe r fla tte ri ng tones.
All lengths a re av a i 1 ab 1 e , from the 22 inch
jacket to the 4 5 - 46 inch co a t .
Important are th e extrav agant linings , the fur
buttons , the st imulating fur on fur combinations .
Furs designe d like dres s e s and fabric coat s are
taking the high road. F all and w int er furs are no
long er limited to coats .
Small pieces ha ve come i nto their o wn , in •
ma ny furs other than mink - P er s i a n l am b
beaver, Alaskan s eal , fo x . Stole s a re ch angin~
their shape : there a re sca rfs a nd p encil s toles
and boas . Mink has ma ny n ew offeri ngs; there
are forty different vari a tion s within the 8 ba sic
color shades. Styles range from the na rrow extra
long garment to the very s hort .
Some fur highlights I predi c t a re: Mouton
trimmed with fox ; Persian lamb in black trimmed
with detachable collars of mink or fox ; spotted
fur s from cat to le~pard , self trim me d, a s well
as fox or beaver trimmed ;na tura l or dyed sheared
racoon with mink trimmings ; pony in bla ck a nd
brown; broadtail-processed lamb in ma ny colors ,
although I think black is best; skunk and all
other long-haired furs are good either as trimming or in coats; squirrel in natural hue a s well
as all t he new brown and heather tones ; nutri a
and alaska seal in breathtaking patterns; toasty
beige otte r highlighted with mink.
Of course, there is ermine and that famous
newcomer to the fashion world - chinchilla. All
in all there is a wonderful era of fur fashions
now to enhance every woman's beauty and make
her even more proud of her natura l charm .

We have been taken to task by He 1 en Johnso o, one of our
readers, who urges us to "try to maintain good grammar . "
In a recent Letter to the Editor, Warden Ragen of Joliet declared : "You. can always be sure of a warm welcome at Stateville·. ''
Our accompanying editor's note said : "We're not sure who
(this) paragraph refers to."
The Villager's chiding corre s pondent said: "Fifth grade Eng~
lish classe s learn never to end sentences with a preposition . "
Miss (or Mrs.) Johnson softened her criticism by telling us th a t
genera lly she admired the paper.
We a dmit an infringement on one of classical grammar's traditional s tandbys. However, we must point out that some experts
on 1 a n g u age a dvocate throwing this particular rule out the
window . They include author Rudolph Flesch, whose "The Art
of Plain Talk" worked a minor revolution in the nation's college
composition classes and newsrooms a decade ago . Flesch's
theory -to state it over simply , perha ps - is that in language, as
in anything else , the shortest distance between two points is a
straight line.
He feels that communication between persons - and this includes the printed page - too often is cluttered up with a rchaic
language practices that get in the way of ideas .
Think about it for a while: Doesn't it seem more direct to say
"We're not sure who this paragraph refers to" rather than "We're
not sure to whom this paragraph refers '' ?
We assume there are other precincts to be heard from. (Or
should it be : We assume there are other precincts from which to
be heard?)
❖❖❖❖❖❖
In our A ug. 14 issue , which ga v e extensiv e coverage to Morton
Grov e Western Da ys, w e ran an oldtime parade photograph ind
inv ited readers to tell us when and where the picture was taken.
Fust e st with the mostest was Mrs . A . L. Robinson of 8718
Fernald Ave ., Morton Grove, who wrote: "My father , Charles
Blischke, w ho is now dead, is in the picture. It was taken A ug .
2, 1903 , on Callie Ave . ,,
Mrs. Robinson adds: "1 wa s born and raised right here in Morton Gro v e 63 years ago and rememb er w hen w e had six houses.,,
It is perhaps not entirely modest of us to do so, but we shall
also include this postscript: " T hank you for the pleasure w e
get out of your paper. It is read from co v er to cov er. ,,
Second prize goes to Dorothy Kuester of 8538 Callie Ave. ,
who had the location pinpointed more precisely, but was off a
bit on the date. She wrote that the photo was taken "at the corner of Lincoln and Callie in Morton Grove . " She guessed the
year was 1907, adding: "1 have lived on Callie A v e . 40 years,
and it has changed some . ,,
Reproduced herewith is the photo in question.
�Congratulations go to Bill Rudd for the idea he came up with
(or is it "with which he came up"?) to go along with the opening
of his new Cities Service station at Main and Skokie Blvd.
He issues "litter bags" for the contents of ash trays and
other trash that collect in every automobile . Then, when you
pull into Bill's place, he's got a big barrel handy in which (!)
to dump the bag .
He's shown below handing one of the bags to a customer.
❖❖❖❖❖❖
Remember the recent series we did on the near-miraculous
medical work going on at Baxter Laboratories in Morton Grove?
One of the articles described at length the ''artificial kidney
machine" that Baxter had developed.
A graphic account of how the machine was used in a dramatic
and successful effort to save the life of a girl, who had taken an
overdose of a drug was carried recently in Chicago daily newspapers.
The girl's blood was drawn from her body and run through the
machine in a purifying process lasting five hours. This eliminated
poisons the drug had deposited in the' blood stream and undoubtedly saved her life, doctors reported.
(Incidentally, the Baxter people tried to buy 500 copies of the
Villager issue which carried the original account, but unfortunately we couldn't oblige . After making our distribution through
the mails and on newsstands, we generally have only a few left
over.)
❖· ❖❖❖❖❖❖
Advertising man Ben Glassman of Skokie believes wholeheartedly in "spreading the word" - in bold type, if possible.
This is in the tradition of dedicated ad men. Anyway, when his
wife Joan had a birthday recently he headlined it on the front
pages of various Chicago ne wspapers, as per the scene below.
Left to right: Ray and Imogene Johnson, Joe Pawlish , Joan
and Ben.
We don't know how Ben manipulated those headlines - and we
also don't know how wife Joan took such blatant publication of
her age.

HIGH HAT
Hats are r1s1ng, with soft silhouettes co·
starring with brilliant colors in fall millinery.
Globular is another shape new hats take as
the tall shares with the bloused to balance new
ready to wear. Softness is the rule, with many
hats that .can be folped like a handkerchief.
Empire is the word i,or millinery as in dress.
High drum crowns of ,Directoire inspirations,
empire poke bonnets, bloused mob caps, modified postillion crowns with close side rolled
brim - all can ride on the empire band wagon.
The lofty toque with manipulated crown,
draped, pouffed or tiered is still with us.
Mediums from furry bodies to real fur, from
satin to golden brocade and lame, go into these
new soft, high hats .
Returning is the pill box with new height and
roundness: Revival of small hats is marked . in
new versions.
And there are feathers - all over everything making for a truly, effeminate look.

Every man at some time or another likes to
achieve that ''rugged look.'' Now, with ruggedwear jackets and short coats in great profusion
on the fall fashion scene, he'll have his chance.
Among these are feather-weig ht washable
nylon and poplin blends lines with fleece and
pile. For colder days, there are big suedes with
rich linings and bold fleece collars.
Some of the collars are of real raccoon or
mouton .
The no w familiar suburban and car coats are
going conservative with regular buttons replacing the novelty fasteners of yesterday.
In sweaters, the Scandinavia n influence seems
to be here to stay with bulky bigness and a
hand-knitted look:
However, the gentleman must keep in mind
that sports wear - jackets or sweaters - is not
for business wear.
He has, in his "out-of-offi ce" time, such
handsome items to choose from as the striped
wool tweed sports coat with yellow wool challis
lining. It has a matching wool challis ascot.
Or there are the blazers in three and four-button
styles. Navy, of course, is perfect in fine wool
flannel. Navy with maroon stripes are quite big.
There are the highly individualiz ed two-button
sports coats.
As for colors - almost anything goes. Tweeds
in topcoats just cry for subdued burnt orange
on brown and bright reds to burgundy on grays.
Brown and black stripes team up as do blue
and black. Sports jackets go green - muted and
olive. Black and white bold herringbone patterns
in wool warm up to suburban coats.
Sweaters flash brilliant yellows, reds and
orange.
For those who prefer it, "Ivy" returns in the
traditional "natural shoulder" tuxedo with
flapped pockets and c enter vent. Most Ivy
advocates prefer the notched lapel jacket.
The man who must wear a suit to business
will be right in the trend that's been building
up the last two or three years. That is that
casual clothes just don't belong in business or
the daylight world of affairs, or vice versa.
But even if the man wants to keep things
informal, there is the consolation of built-in
comfort along with the elegance trend.
New suit models combine the best of the
English tradition with the Continental detailing,
together with America's own fames ease of fit.
For the dressier look, there are subtle weaves
of fine worsteds, blends of silk and worsted,
and suggestion of iridescent glow created by
blends of mohair and silk yarns.
Colors are in medium to dark shades of gray,
blue or brown.
The shoulder look is a natural one. Stripes
are popular, but are neat and small.
Feet can be nimble

FASHION
DECREES:
NO WAIST
According to fashion forecasts, it looks like
the ladies are going to go waist-less this season.
Waistline demarcation s will wander from high
to low, but seldom will hit the normal waistline.
The Women's Wear Daily's analy sis for The
Villager of fall-winter fashion trends shows that
although the trapeze and the chemise stand out
as th"e two main silhouettes, high waist treatments
promise to be most important in developing the
two shapes.
Compromise silhouettes with fitted fronts and
loose backs are in evidence. Variations on the
straight sheath include hemline flounces, tunic
effects, drapery and an ensemble built around
the unfitted shape.
Costumes are still important. Most emphasis
seems to be on the diversified shapes and lengths
of jackets.
For cocktail and evening dresses, skirt width
is more pronounced than in daytime clothes.
Fabrics were never more luxurious, including
soft satin and metal brocades, warp printed
velvets and satins, moire, crepes, chiffon and
taffetas.
In sportswear, the chemise plays an important
part, with torso outlined, silver slim hips and
very narrow skirts.
A youthful, flattering look rapidly gaining
popularity is the "double trapeze " - the skirt,
either pleated or gored and underscored with
stiffening, topped with a short boxy overblouse
or jacket.
Fall knitwear- sweaters, dresses and coats all subscribes to the slim and unfitted 1 in e,
varied sometimes by a bloused or oval back,
a high or low waistline marking big collars and
pleats occasionally.
In sweaters, the 1 on g, unfitted silhouette
prevails. There is much interest in shaggy surface yarns.

CONTINUING HISTORY:

WANT TO BE A BALLPLAYER?
The cover of the Villager's May 22 issue. Story
on Harold Teen and Carl Ed led to negotiations
which culminated in our becoming the only publication in a v ast six-state area to be granted
the right to carry the famed cartoon strip .
Carl Ed and Harold Teen
"Hey! Bubble Boy, Little Toot, les' beat feet"!
"Nothing startingly original in this, just teen talk from Harold
Teen which by the time this sees prin't, will probably sound
hopelessly musty. It's a desperate business, keeping up with the
latest drugstore patter, and most of us post - collegiates don't
and never should try. Harold's creater, Carl Ed, does a remarkable job of it, but then he is a professional, a sharp craftsman in
his own line -of business. It's a good business, too, because
children are constantly turning, teensters, and so an eternal
s
public waits to lap up it's chocolate _ undaes and it's "Harold
Teen."
So wrote Coulton Waugh in 'his book "The Comics".
"Let's all go over to Poppa Jenks and celebrate with a gedunk . "
In case you have forgotten just what a gedunk is , think back
and you'll recall it is one 9{ Ed's special creations-a sundae he
introduced in his strip. After Teen and his buddies became so
fon~ of the mythical gedunk sundaes in Poppa Jenks' Sugar Bowl,
a deluge of pleas for the· recipe came to Ed from Pop's counterparts thruout the nation. So, Ed was compelled to invent a recipe.
He didn't have a ['fCipe, never dreaming that it would draw such
a following. But, with his friends, he figured out the fc1llowing:
2 teaspoonfuls of ice cream.
1 cup of chocolate.
This delicacy must not be eaten boorishly. It must be consumed by dunking with iadyfingers. And, the gedunker must
wear a bib while indulging.
When students at the University of Illinois began driving
flivvers with such mottoes as "Squad Car, " "Ax the Man Who
Owns One," and "Bored of Education," Ed gave the idea the
punch that carried it across the country. When it spread to raincoats, Harold Teen was again on the ball. The strip originated
"He Man Week" and popularized Oxford bags. Teen's phraseology
swept the land. Pushing its way into the language were such
terms as, "lamb's lettuce," ·"Leaping Lena , " "lollypopsie,"
"lollymomsie, " "pantywaist, " "big hunk of stuff," and "fate's
plaything.''
What about this creator, Carl Ed? Where does he come from?
And, Harold Teen - - what about him?
Well, first, take Teen's creator, Mr. Ed. Now where does he
come from? Teen's man was 'born in Moline, Ill., July 16, 1890.
He finished his freshman year in the Moline High school, later
atten<;iing college in Rock Islan'd, Ill. Until Ed was 20 he worked
in offices and at odd jobs.
Carl" grew up wanting to be a cartoonist and nothing else.

Carl Ed
The Villager today makes a
proud announcement: we have
obtained exclusive rights to
the famed comic strip, Harold
Teen, and it will appear each
week in our pages - - starting
with thi s issue.
We are the first weekly
publication in history to be
given this opportunity. To our
knowledge, no nationally
syndicated cartoon designed
for the daily field ever has
appeared in a weekly.
Negotiations for the strip
He went from job to job and from factories to offices. Neighbors
predicted the Ed boy would come to no good end. "He just a
drifter," they would say. But Carl knew what he wanted and he
went after -it.
Carl's father wanted to send him to an art institute but he
died when his son was 13. Carl never saw the inside of an art
school until many years later and then it was as an instructor
at the Academy of Fine Arts in Chicago.
It was in 1910 Carl became a sports writer on the Rock Island
Argus. Seven years later he got his first cartooning job in the
Chicago American sports department. In 19li and for the next
seven years, Carl drew the strip, Luke McGluke, the bush league
bearcat, and later Big Ben, for the World Color syndicate of St.
Louis, Mo. But this was not for long.
By 1919 Ed's talents were brought to the attention of the late
Captain Patterson , then co-publisher of the Tribune. Captain
Patterson hired him. Ed began experimenting with his characters
working under John T. McCutcheon and the late Gaar Williams.
When did Teen appear on the scene? May 4, f91~., Harold Teen
made his full page Sunday debut. He appeared . as a funny
individual who usually fared the worst from his ridiculous
encounters. Later Teen became typical of the run of teen agers ,
shifting . from the highest of spirits to the lowest low rit the
drop of a hat.
Ed tells that he got his inspiration from the friends of his only
daughter, Donna Jean.
Ed observed the antics of the young swains in his home and
around his neighborhood in Evanston, which he says "is the best
place in the country to study the young of the spedes."
To know Ed's comic characters is to know Ed's friends
during his life in Moline. All of Teen's buddies pretty much
resemble Ed's youthful friends . Naturally, there was the /at boy,
kriou,n in the strip as Beezy, the l,ittle chiseler, Shadow, and the
dope , Goofy. And, Poppa Jenks is not to be forgotten. Poppa
Jenks was drawn from Ed's memories of an old character who
ran a combination stationery shop and soda fountain across from
the Moline High school where the gang hung out after school
hours, the place 'they could go and talk about the girls.
Not only Harold Teen hjmself but the entire strip always has
been in high gear. The strip was first made into a movie in 1928
in which the movie columnist, Hedda Hopper, played. Five years
later it was remade for sound .. Harold Teen was also the first
comic strip to be presented over the air-on Radio station WGN
in 1930.
"Yah, man! This Carl Ed," Teen would say, "is no pantywaist!
He's a real guy."

C
began shortly after the
Villager's May 22 cover story
on Harold Teen' s creater, Carl
Ed of Skokie. Mr. Ed professed
e
himself so pleased with th_
account that he put in a good
word for us with executives of
the Chicago Tribune-New York
Daily News Syndicate, Inc. ,
which distributes his work.
Through the courtesy of the
Chicago Tribune , which has
the copyright on the Harold
Teen strip , the negotiations
were concluded successfully
over the past week end.
The Tribune for years has
z ea lously guarded its right to
den y publication of its features
to any newspaper within its
ci rcula tion territory. Today,
the V illager is the only newspaper - - daily or weekly - carrying the Harold Teen strip
in thi s territory. The territory
includes all of Illinois, all of
Wisconsin, all of Iowa, aU of
Indiana except Evansville , all
of Minnesota except Minneapolis
and all of Michigan except
Detroit.
Carl E d himself said he was
"extremely surpri s ed" that the
syndicate and the Tribune
would relax one of their longstanding rules , even at his
behest.
''I think the Tribune people's
action in giving the strip to
the Villager is a tremendous
tribute to our newest Niles
Township publication," said
the arti s t. "Obviously they
were impressed with the high
quality of the Villager."
The cartoon panel is admirably suited to the weekly field.
Each strip "stands on its
own," so to speak, with no
continuing episodes from one
strip to another. Thus, the
Villager will have a number of
strips at its disposal ea ch week
and may run as many of these spaced throughout the p ublication - - as it desires.
We are thrilled to be able to
aunounce this truly outstanding
"first" during this , our fourth
month of publication. The
Harold Teen cartoons for years
have carri ed a high prestige
value for every newspaper in
which they have appeared - and
have amused millions of readers
throughout the country since
their inception almost 40 years
ago.
But, more than that, we are
pleased to have associated
with us that remarkab1e gentleman , Carl Ed , whose warmth
and understanding have made
Harold Teen a constant symbol
of youth - - its gaiety, its
moods , its troubles.
We invite our readers of
youthful spirit, no matter what
their age, to join us each week
in the fun and frolics of Harold
Teen and his friends.

PRESENTS .. .
Remember the story we ran about Mike Barrett,
proprietor of Skokie' s Fish Pond, who got sore
at us because we inadvertently ran his small ad
and swamped him with customers he wasn't
expecting?
Well, the Villager is in hot water again - - this
time with Joe Piazza of Piazza's restaurant on
Skokie Blvd.
Three weeks ago we ran a full-page ad announcing, in effect, that he had taken over the
restaurant site which through several previous
ownerships had not done too well.
We omitted the address and telephone number
(the reader can guess whether this was intentional) and found our office deluged with
calls from persons wanting to know where it
was. The next week we repeat_ d the ad, this
e
time with the previously missing information
included.
This week we happened to drop in on Joe at
lunchtime and found him, dripping wet with
pe rspiration, at his cash register. The place
was loaded with patrons. He said he was so
busy that he was considering the possibility of
canceling out his remaining ad schedule with us;
said he might not be able to handle additional
business.
We hope to dissuade Joe from such extreme
measures but we' re mentioning it at this time
because some newspapers are starting campaigns
which list all sorts of fabulous circulation
figures as inducements to advertisers. Far be
it from us to question the accuracy of these
claims. What's important is: which of us is
doing the job of reaching the people of Niles
Township? I know. So do Joe Piazza and Mike
Barrett.

How to Raise $840,000
Big Morton Grove Problem
by Alex T eitelman
Can Morton Grove raise
$840,000? That's the big question facing the village in an
effort to continue the town's
heretofore phenomenal growth
and to divide the tax burden
equitably a mong the entire
populace,
Specifically , as vi 11 age
attorney John Moser pointed
out at the village hall during
the combination Village Board
and Board of Local Improvements meeting , what Morton
Grove needs now is ways and
means of raising $840 , 000
which , as of now, is the approximate cost to construct a
storm sewer project for the
entire southeastern portion of
Morton Grove.
Moser pointed out that this
sum, if assessed on present
residents of the area would be
entirely inequitable. For months
ways and means have been
studied how to raise this sum
without taxing the residents
beyond their means .
Efforts to ge, industry in
the area to contribute more
than their legal share to date
have proven fruitless. Additionally , attempts to get the
state of Illinois to share in
the cost has also met with
failure , Moser reported .
Specifically , Morton Grove
asked the Illinois Division of
Highways to share in the cost
of laying large pipe underneath
Oa'kton street but the state , to
date, has remained indifferent
to the proposal.
The Oakton proposal , too ,
even though shared by the
state , is not in the best
interests of the village, Moser
pointed out , since a good share
of industrial needs would be
bypassed via an Oakton street
sewer project.
Adv~ntages of the southeast
project, which would lead to
expansion in this relatively
"poor cousin" status of this
particular sec ti on of Morton
Grove , would be numerous ,
Moser pointed out. For one
thing, the new sewer set-up
would lead to a greater influx
of people into this area, with
improved property values thus
leading to a more equitable
tax set-up for home-owners in
the entire village. Maintenance
work , which the village must
give this area out of proportion
to the rest of the town, could
then be more equitably distributed village-wise. Business,
too, would benefit by the im-
Eckhardt Says
Union Tried
·'Shakedown'
Carl Eckhardt, owner of the
gas station at 5944 Lincoln
Ave., Morton Grove, told a Cook
County grand jury Tuesday that
he has been fighting efforts of
Teamsters Union Local No. 705
for three years in their efforts
to unionize his employees.
Eckhardt claimed that it was
the same type of shakedown
that has been going oA in the
restaurant industry.
Eckhardt said he was left a
"rubber stamp contract" when
the union first tried to organize
his station more than three
y ears ago. Later, Eckhardt said
he talked to Bruno Filipino and
Louis Peick, union officers.
"I told them this thing was
nothing but a collection racket,
but if my employees wanted to
belong to the union I'd sit down
and talk about a legitimate
union contract," Eckhardt said.
He claims he only had two employees . when picketing started
May 24, 1955 but now has four
employees. Efforts to have
teamster union gas truck drivers
"skip" his station have been
th warted, Eckhardt said, because he was able to get gas
from other sources.
COMMUNITY CENTER
Plans for a l½ million dollar
community center in a park
setting on 10 acres at the southwest corner of Sacramento and
Touhy avenues have been
approved by the City Zoning
Board of Chicago for the Jewish
Community Centers of Chicago.
The modernly-designed brick
structure will serve as the main

"no man's land" area .
Originally scheduled to have
an open meeting next Wednesday (July 30th) the board voted
unanimously to postpone the
next meeting on this issue till
September 29th. This two-month
extension, the board felt, will

Skokie Board
Defers Action
On Hospital
The Skokie village board has
withheld approval of plans to
erect a Skokie Valley Community Hospital in the northeast section of the village
pending further investigation.
In deferring a decision at
Saturday's board meeting, the
trustees said they wanted to be
sure that officials of the Sharp
Corner school· district as well
as residents of that area approve establishment of the
hospital.
A fin a 1 vote is expected
Saturday.
The Skokie Plan Commission
recommended acceptance of the
hospital association's plans.
They call for erection of the
hospital on a 16-acre tract at
northeast corner of Gross Pt.
and Golf roads.
Trustee Sylvester J . Reese
pointed out that the school
district has had money problems
and that he and other board
members wanted to make sure
that residents there "fully understand" the significance of
taking 16 acres of property off
the tax rolls. (Hospitals are
tax-exempt.)
Trustee Villiam A. Krewer
estimated that the property has
a potential tax-producing value
of $25,000 to $30,000.

Why Savos Bros. Were
Charged with Arson
Authorities said today that
discrepancies in the statements
given by the two Savos brothers
led to their being named Tuesday in true bills charging
arson of their Villa LaMaine
restaurant in Skokie May 27 .
The brothers, Christ , 43,
and George, 41, both of Lincolnwood , were named in the
true bills - a technicality
preceding indictment - by the
Cook County grand jury .
Chief of Detectives Martin
Conroy of the · Skokie Police
Department, who headed the
investigation into the blaze
at the well known night spot
at McCormick Blvd. and Main
St., was one of the witnesses
appearing before the grand
jury .
Testimony by Conroy and
witnesses reportedly
other
indicated that the brothers
were deep in debt - some estimates ran as high as $80,000.
They carried $141,000 insuranc e ~ $60,000 for business
interruption and $81 , 000 on
COLL ISION
A Gary, Ind., motorist, pulling
out of a gas station at Gross
Point Rd. and Lincoln Ave.,
collided with and damaged the
1956 Dodge sedan driven by
Mrs. Helen-Krier of 5243 Cleveland Ave. last week.
The Gary motorist is Charles
W. Langbehn, a steel-worker.
He was charged with "failure
to yield the right of way." The
Krier car's left front was damaged in the accident.
furi:iishings and equipment.
After the grand jury session,
State's Atty. Frank Ferlic com•
plimented Conroy and the
Skokie police department for
the manner in which the investigation was handled.Ferlic
told reporters Conroy had done
an outstanding job of a ssembling all the evidence in the
case.
The head man of Skokie's
detective bureau was assigned
to the case by Chief William
C. Griffin immediately after a
report of the fire was turned in .
Among bits of e vi den c e
which figured in the presentation to the grand jury were
three two-gallon gasoline cans,
found in or near the burned-out
building; business records
(some charred) and testimony
by a Skokie man that contradicted the Savo s brothers'
statements about circumstances
surrounding the fire.
Also appearing before the
grand jury were Skokie police
officers Ray Kozub and Ron
McMillen. Patrolling in squad
car, they had come upon George
Savos in his auto behind the
restaurant shortly before the
blaze and had talked with him
briefly. George later told investigators he invited them
into the restaurant for a sandwhich, but the two officers
denied this .
Authorities said a number of
discrepancies were noted in
statements given by the
brothers to Skokie and state's
attorney ' s police and to the
state fire marshal's office.
Library Is Big Item in
Skokie Appropriation
The Skokie village board
has approved an appropriation
of $4,386,214 for the current
fiscal year.
With the exception of an
$894,665 item for building and
equipping the new library, the
figufes are virtually the same
as last year's.

Of the library items, $850,000
was set aside for constructing
and furnishing costs, $25,000
for an increase in the book
stock and $19,665 for an increase in salaries and operating
expenses.
William A. Krewer, finance
chairman, said:
"We are proud that tqe village

Israeli Labor Official Here; Blames Nasser for Strife
An Israeli 1ab or official
visiting relatives in Skokie
says the present Mideast strife
could have been avoided if
Israel had been allowed to continue its offensive against
Egypt two years ago.
"There would be no trouble
now because President Abdul
Nasser of Egypt would have
been eliminated as a threat to
peace,'' said Itzhac Haskin,
treasurer of Istenrud, the general
federation of labor in Israel.
Haskin made the statements
at the home of a cousin, Leonard
S. Dubow, 8641 Laramie St.,
while on a business trip to chis
country . A native of Russia,
he has lived in Israel 33 years .
Haskin said he felt that the
present conflict has made the
ties between the United States
and Israel '' closer than ever. ''
As for the flareup possibly
presenting a threat to his
country, Haskin said he didn't
think so . "We are standing
guard, but we are not afraid,"
he told a Villager reporter. We

have a strong army and can

The Israeli visitor said that
in his opinion there was no
doubt that Nasser had inspired
the trouble in Iraq - with plans
worked out on his recent trip
to Russia .
''Nasser is the greatest
enemy of Israel - and the West,
as well," declared Haskin.
He said he didn't believe that
Nasser and other unfriendly
Arab officials would attempt
warlike action against Marines
in the Mideast "because they
understand the language of
power.''
Prior to joining the executive
ranks of Istenrud, Haskin was
a farmer in the village of Rehovot, about 20 miles south of
Tel Aviv. Haskin, 50, now lives
in Tel Aviv with his wife and
fou r children.
Among numerous relatives
in the Chicago area who gathered at the Dubow home to greet
Haskin recently were Mr. and

It was a June wedding for
Virginia M. Pierre and William
C. McGowan, at an 11 a.m.
ceremony in St. Joan of Arch
Church, Skokie. The Rev. Leo
J. Flynn officiated.
The lovely bride, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Nick M. Pierre,
4341 Simpson St., Skokie, was
attended by Mary Ann Pierre
as her maid of honor.
Bridesmaids were Judy McGowan and Mary Ellen Riley
of Evanston, and Au c!ry J.
Henrici of Skokie.
Little Miss Denise McGowan
of Evanston was flower girl.
The bridegroom, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Fred McGowan, 1554
Dewey Ave., Evanston, had
William Payne of \"/ilmette act
as his best man.
Ushers were Jerome N.
P i_
erre, Skokie, Jim McGowan
and Bob McGowan of Evanston.
Young Master William Ipjian
of Skokie was ring bearer.
The bride's gown was of
chantilly lace with sweeping
train, fingertip sleeves, and
the crown lace background had
a heart design beaded with
pearls. Her veil was of fingertip length.
She carried a colonial bouquet
of two white orchids and stepha not is, with white satin
streamers with love knots.
The bridesmaids wore white
chiffon ballerina length gowns
over pink, with lace sashes
and wore pearl and crystal
necklaces and earrings. Headpieces were of a halo design
in pink with pearl stars.
Their bouquets were of white
carnations
interlocked with
pink tea roses in colonial style
with pink streamers.
The pretty little flower girl
carried a basket of carnations
and wore a dress of pink taffeta.
Mother of the bride wore a
royal b 1 u e chiffon dress of
ballerina length, blue 1 a c e
shoes, pink beaded hat, pink
nylon gloves, and a pink leaf
designed necklace and earrings.
A pink brocaded and chiffon
gown was worn by the mother
of the bridegroom. It was of
ballerina length. She wore a
pink beaded hat, pink gloves,
and pearl necklace and earrings.
Following the wedding ceremony, a reception was held in
the American Legion Hall in
Skokie. A dinner for the immediate family and the bridal
party was held in the Luxembourg Gardens, Morton Grove,
at noon.
The newlyweds spent their
honeymoon in the Shangra-La
Dude Ranch in Forth Worth,
Tex., and will make their home
in Fort Worth.
What is there in the personality makeup of
an individual that prompts others to make every
~fort to please him.
There are some people we encounter along
life's road who are unable to evoke any kind
of a deep response within us. Then someone
come along who, without obvious effort, brings
forth a desire in us to gain his approval.
Some kind of phenomena of human nature must
occur in order for an individual to have the
ability to cause us to sink to depths of despair
at his disapproval, and yet with a smile, a compliment, can cause us to become estatically
happy.
Why does the good opinion of us from certain
people mean so much.
We have nothing to gain except the feeding
of our own ego. Why then can't this ego be fed
by all?
This is the intangible quality in a personality that sets him apart from other men. A desire
by others to win his approbation. We have no
answer for it.
If you thrill at hearing glorious -voices, you' 11
be enchanted with the latest recording by the
Gateway Singers. Three young men and a charming, silver throated young woman join in
harmony, running the gamut from humorous folk
songs to deeply moving spirituals.
In , person, their clever and sophisticated
repartee does much to draw the attention of the
college and egghead crowd.

While we bow to the woman's superb wntmg
skill, we shudder at her philosophies. It's like
seeing a painting created by a patient in a mental institution.
We marvel at the deep, brilliant colors on the
canvas, although the pattern may be inarticulate.
We realize the incongruity exists because of
the creator's unstable personality. This was
our reaction to the thoughts expressed in "Atlas
Shrugged.''
,After having practically committed her "F ountainhead'' to memory in our love of that story,
we feel an almost personal pain and sense of
loss in Rand's latest book.

A doctor. prepares to feed a patient with a
Baxter dextrose solution. The company manufactures 50 di/f erent parente ral fluids for
nourishin g the sick and correct ing various
imbalanc es or deficienc ies.
by BETTY NEFF
If you're ever sick enough to require nourishment by vein or tube, chances are you'll be fed
with products produced right here in Morton Grove.
Productio n of parentera l fluids - those introduced into the body by dripping them into a vein
or muscle - is one of the chief activitie s of
Baxter Laborato ries, Inc., where research is a
religion and absolute cleanline ss is a way of life.
Baxter is a pioneer in developin g means by
which essentia l food compone nts can be fed to
patients unable to take nourishm ent by mouth.
Many surgical patients are saved days and weeks
of convales cence simply because they are fed
properly during the early days of recovery .
The story of parentera l therapy really goes
back more than 300 years. It took Sir William
Harvey's discover y of the circulato ry system
in the early 1600's to provide the basic knowledg e
which kept research ers plugging away over the
years until a successf ul means of artificial
feeding was attained.
The thought of using the vascular system as
a carrier of therapeu tic agents was applied in
1658 by Sir Christop her Wren, who injected
medicine into a dog by using a goose quill
attached to a pig's bladder. This experime nt was
followed within seven years by transfusi onof
blood from one animal to another, and later by
attempt to transfuse animal blood into man.
Fatal Failures
N'ltur" lly, tre latter experime nt failed and so
did all similar experime nts which followed.
Serious reactions and fatalities were reported and
the practice was prohibite d by law. It wasn't
until 1818 that transfusi ons of human blood were
attempte d and these, too, failed because man
knew nothing of the different blood groups.
Villager reporter Betty Neff spent several
days studying the various scientifi c advances
that are being made at Baxter Laborato ries in'
Morton Grove. Here is the first of three articles
she has written on work going on there. The
others will follow.
Further progress had to wait until 1900, when
these were· discovere d.
But failure in transfusi ng blood didn't mean
that re-searchers lost their persisten ce. A new
approach came from a Dr. W. B. O'Shaug hnessey
in 1831 who observed that blood of the victims
of a cholera epidemic in England had lost much
· of its water and most of its salts. His theoretic al
recomme ndations formed the basis of the field of
parentera l fluid therapy. O'Shaug hnessey wrote:
"First restore the blood to its natural specific
gravity (water content); second, restore its deficient saline matters (salts) . . . the first of
these can be affected by its absorptio n, by inhibition, or by the injection of aqueous fluid into
the veins,· the same remarks, with sufficien tly
obvious modificat ion, apply to the second."
The same year the first intraveno us saline
infusion was performe d on cholera patients with
dramatic but not always lasting results. But the
idea of actual feeding by vein did not gain real
impetus until the last quarter of the 19th century.
Then reports began to appear in the medical
literature of injection s of cod liver oil, beef
extract, egg yblk and milk into patients who
couldn't, or wouldn't eat.
On The Scent
Despite many adverse reactions , enough succes was describ ed so that the scope of
investiga tion was widened. Sugar solutio ns
appeared , saline solutions were tried as a treatment for shock, and more and more attentionwas directed to the new field of ·artific ial
nutrition .
As the 20th century rolled around, discover ies
came thick and fast. Benefici al use of solutions
containin g water, salt, carbohyd rate, fats and
peptone in treating surgical patients was described; the blood groups were discove red;
anticoag ulants made their appearan ce; and the
rate at which injected glucose was metaboli zed
was establish ed.
Intraveno us feeding, however, still was a
problem because of the high inc id en CF of
reactions which usually accompa nied it. But
1923 brought a break-thr ough when Dr. Florence
Seibert showed that products from a bacteria
which grew in distilled water caused the unpleasant side effects of chills and fever. It took
nearly 10 more years before equipm ent and
methods were develope d for productio n of water
free from these bacterial residues.
It was in this atmosphe re that Baxter Laboratories had its beginnin g. A Dr. Donald E.
Baxter establish ed a firm known as Don Baxter,
Inc., in Los Angeles and began to provide
hospitals in the area with bulk paren,t eral
solutions . This marked the entrance of commercial enterpris e on the scene, with the theory
that reaction problems could be overcome through
manufact ure of large, carefully contro lled
batches of parentera l solutions and that solutions
could be kept sterile indefinit ely if stored in
sealed containe rs from which all air had been
withdraw n.
Harry N. Falk was associat ed with Dr. Baxter
and sent samples of the solutions to his brother,
Dr. Ralph Falk, a Boise, Idaho, surgeon. The
�13
brothers became the nucleus of what is now
Baxter Laboratories, starting in i931 as a distributor of Don Baxter solutions. In 1933, the
firm began manufacturing on its own in a renovat•
ed garage in Glenview, Illinois, with six
employes. In 1935, Dr. Baxter sold his interest
in Baxter Laboratories to Dr. Falk, and the young
company was on its own.
Realizing that the basic need was to make
solutions so safe they could be administered
without fear of reaction, the firm devised special
techniques for treating raw materials and adopted
elaborate control measures to get rid of any
pyrogens - fever producing· agents.
A new major cause of reactions was discovered
to be the rubber infusion equipment used by hos•
pitals, which often harbored pryogens despite
careful attention to sterilization. During World
War 11 satisfactory disposable plastic tubing
was developed - but the company soon found
that another problem hinged on deterioration
of glass containers.
Silica particles sloughed off during storage
and formed a precipitate in the solutions. Baxter
Laboratories research developed a means of
stabilizing the container s u r face with boric
acid solution - but the process was too expensive.
In 1938, however, joint research by Baxter and
Ownes-Illinois Glass Company produced a glass
coating which resisted deterioration during
storage.

The company's solutions were the first to be
accepted by the Council on Ph arm a c y and
Chemistry of American Medical association
Chemistry of the American Medical association,
and the Baxter container was the first to be
accepted by the American College of Surgeons.
In 1939, Baxter developed a sterile, pyrogenfree vacuum blood unit containing anticoagulant
for 500 cc. of blood, and paved the way toward
making blood banking practical. The new unit
permitted blood to be drawn from a donor, stored
The whole idea of feeding by vein is so widely accepted nowadays that its drama is seldom
realized by the layman. Years ago, the surgical
patient who was unable to take food by mouth
often survived by sheer stubbornness, but his
system got out of balance and his convalescence
was prolonged because· of poor nutrition.
Today doctors can make a better surgical
risk of a patient by supplementing whatever oral
food he may have had - if any - with vein feeding,
in the proper ratio to his needs.
"When you take that person into surgery," a
Baxter spokesman said, "you know you're not
dealing with a debilitated person. He will get
out of bed and get back to work faster.

"We can give 1,500 to 1,600

vitamins, carbohydrates for energy, protein to
repair tissue, and fats. So far, there is no
satisfactory way to give fat by vein but the
problem is in clinical research right now. We
can give all the other five dietary requirements."

The internal self-sealing pilot tube is an inte·

Baxter now is a world-wide concern, with a
total of some 1,750 employ es. It moved its
headquarters from Glenview to Morton Grove in
1948 because it had outgrown its old quarters
and because it found an unquenchable supply
of exceptionally pure water on the Morton Grove
site at 6301 Lincoln Avenue.
Since water is the most important component
of parenteral fluids, accounting for most of their
bulk, a good source of water is a prime requisite
for choosing a location for manufacturing s
or transported, and given to a patient day s
later or miles away. It also made it possible
for even small hospitals to store whole blood
for 21 days and then to salvage the plasma when
the blood became outdated.
Research also produced other improvements
in transfusion equipment and at the beginning
of World War II Baxter products were the only
ones in this field which met the specifications
for use by the armed forces .
Parenteral fluids were undergoing constant
research, also. From the five basic solutions
made by Baxter when it began manufacturing,
the list grew until today more than 50 are offered.

One-time Radio Madcap I!
Here is the Hellyer family's bu about to be
loaded with Art, wife Blaine, their four kids and
the luggage shown here for a long cross-country
trip.
Skokie's No. 1 Travel Enthusiast
by TOM BRANAGAN
For five tense years - seven days a week, 18
hours a day - you push yourself through an
exacting, ulcer-breeding schedule keyed to the
split-second timing and pressure-packed salesmsnship of radio and television announcing.
You get up at 5:30 in the morning and you
don't see your home and family in Skokie again
until 2:30 a .m. the next day . In between, you've
run a regular three-hour morning radio show,
filled in the rest of the day with several programs
at three other Chicago stations and finished your
chores with a midnight television show .
You're making big money-as high as $65 ,000
a year- but your nerves are frayed, your health
is in danger and you're beginning to wonder if
your kids know who you really are .
That's the position you'd find yourself in if ,
last year, your name was Art Hellyer.
And , if you were Art Hellyer , you'd finally
decide that, even though you knew what it was
Announcer Art Hellyer and, in background, assist•
ant "Dr. Kaye" during Art's madcap days as
irrepressible disc jockey. He takes a more dignified approach these days.
to work for $1 an hour, $65,000 a year wasn't
worth what it was cos ting you .
And t he n you 'd cut your s chedule down to a
minimum-with s ome help from a boss who
didn't see eye to eye with you - and do what
you t o ld yourself every day during those five
long years that you someday would do :
You'd pack the family up and take off for the
wide open spaces - and you'd enjoy it so muc h
that thereafter this kind of thing would almost
dominate your life.
That is the story of Art Hellyer who, today,
has struck a perfect balance between doing what
he wants to do and what he has to do.
Vol kswa gen Wa nderer
He works for a living, doing radio and television shows, but the hours are much shorter almost un believably short. The rest of his time
he spends with his family on trips around the
the country in their Volkswagen bus.
The Volkswagen, says Art, is the perfect
vehicle for the Hellyer family -wife Elaine,
Larry , 10, Mike, 8, Debbie, 4, and Vickie, 2
(there's another little Hellyer on the way).
Art has the easy task on these family jaunts:
he driv es. Elaine sits with the kids in the back
and keeps them busy . They play with their toys,
make up games, study little sketches about the
places they're visiting.
Anyone who's traveled with youngsters knows
it's no cinch - and Elaine bas her hands full
what with straightening our arguments, running
a rest room and eating schedule, keeping the
children neat and overseeing the details incident
to packing and unpacking for the whole gang.
But she's not complaining, even though she
might prefer the restfulness of home.
'' After all,'' she says, ' ' I was at home for
five stra ight years and hardly ever saw Art. Now ,
at least, we're together.''
As for Art , he revels in the newfound freedom
of "getting away from it all."
He's always been a sort-of automobile bug
anywa y, he says, and loves driving.
Just last month he won a stock car racin_g
event for disc jockeys at Soldier Field .
He's an old-car and sports -car enthusiast and
has, at various times owned a 1918 Nash, a
1922 Ford' and a 1928 Ford. Right now his prid e
and joy is an MG-TD sports car.
Perfers Standard Shift
His only strong preference in driving is for a
standard shift, rather than automatic trans mission .
"With an automatic transmission, all you're
doing is sitting there and aiming the car," says
Art. "With a standard shift you're in touch with
the engine at all times . "
Art has arranged his radio and television
schedule so he can be in town only one or two
days a week, if he feels like it.
His main activity now centers around the
"It's in the Name" program aired every Thursday night at 8 p .m. over WGN-TV . He emcees
this word-quiz show is what is for him a reserved fashion .
A couple of years ago he was best known as
an irrepressible cutup, ready to say anything , do
anything, while on the air.
At that time he was in the midst of his 21 hour-day routine and , perhaps, losing some
conta·ct with the realities of an announcer's
responsibilities to sponsor and station.
Art appeared on as many a s 200 shows a
week. Some he conducted himself; on others he
did the commercia ls. When he wasn't on the air
he was recording advance shows .

in 1957 when Art, on his 6:30 to 9:30 morning
show on WCFL took a swipe at Chicago's First
National Bank, a formidable target in anybody's
language.
The bank was displaying a million dollars in
cold cash at the Chicagoland Fair and Art told
his listeners:
"This exhibit is corrupting public 1 morals,
inviting greed and avarice and helping to put
larceny in our hearts."
The stati811's manager, Marty Hogan, became
incensed and demanded that Art apologize to the
bank on the air.
Art, who says now he was only trying to kid
the bank a little, procrastinated. Hogan fired
him.
Two other stations bid for him immediately,
but Art sat back and went through what might be
It pays to advertise. Bandleader Wayne King
(shown above), Greyhound's rent-a-car agent for
the state of Arizona, saw Art's name on the bus,
pursued the vehicle and insisted the H ellyers
spend a night at his home in Paradise Valley,
near Phoenix.
called an "agonizing reappraisal" of where he
was going , and why.
First Big Trip
Result: He bought the Volkswagen, bundled
Elaine and the kids into it and headed east.
They visited Niagara Falls- and other tourist
spots and thoroughly enjoyed themselves in a
safari that lasted eight days and covered 2,391
miles.
They've been traveling ever since - taking
long tours when they can arrange them and shorter
ones virtually every week. Their last long trip
was in January when they motored to California

Mrs. Hellyer stretches through the retractable
sunshine roof of the Volkswagen to take a look
at the scenery near Niagara Palls on an eastern
tour.
Wife Blaine, right, poses with Mr. and Mrs. George
Gobel, former Chicago acquaintances, at the
comedian's home in Sherman Oaks, Calif.
and Mexico on a 30-day vacation , covering 5,777
miles.
As a hobby, Art began taking pictures of bis
travels - and now finds himself in demand as a
lecturer before various club s. He gives as many
talks, complete with slides, as he can fit into
his combined work-and-travel schedule.
Hellyer, who is 34 now, got into radio after
World War II service with the Air Force. The
reason: "My mother kept telling me I should be
on radio, and she was usually right."
10 minutes for this trip, because it was uphill and arrive just in time to handle a 15-minute
newscast."
Controlling his breathing after this ordeal was
a task that even a fast-developing George Atlas
found demanding, so Art in due time wandered
off.
He's a native Chicagoan and attended Loyola
and, as an airman, The Citadel. Emerging from
Air Force training as a weather forecaster he
was stationed at bases all over this hemisphere
and, as a part-time thing, took on a few announcing chores with stations near the bases.
He liked it and, after his di'scharge in February
of 1946, caught on with radio station WKNA in
Charleston, W. Va. His salary: $30 a week. The
next stop was WOWO. Fort Wayne, Ind. ($39,50
per) and from there he went, in August of '47,
to WMRO in Aurora, Ill.
At WMRO Art got a dollar an hour - working
from sign-on time at 6 a.m. to sign-off at 8:30

Married Childhood Sweetheart
Meantime, he'd married his childhood sweetheart, the former Elaine Miller of Elmhurst, and
they'd started raising a family.
Art, who normally has what might be called
a picnic build (soft and rolling in spots), found
he was developing into a remarkable physical
specimen during his days at Aurora. The reason:
"Every day at 12 noon I'd put on a five-minute record and run down hill four blocks from
the s tation to the Sears Roebuck store. There
I'd do a 15-minute live interview show.

Wrapped Pac kage s
He wrapped packages for a while in a Michigan Ave. men's store and, in January of 1948,
got a job with WMA W, a now-defunct station in
Milwaukee. He advanced to WISN, the CBS outlet in Milwaukee, but was fired on. New Year's
Day, 1949, because he brought his family into
the announcers' room.
For a time he sold music lessons door to door
in Milwaukee for a man who is now a Skokie
neighbor of the Hellyers - Mark Carlucci, operator of the Chicago Music School - and then was
hired by Milwaukee's WMIL. This job, at $65 a
week, lasted a year - until May of 1950, when
Art got a job as a summer replacement at WCFL.
In the fall, Art became a free-lan c e announcer
and he's been a free lancer ev'er sin c e.
He's worked on every radio and television
station in the city and has had over 500 sponsors.
Although he's cut down on his air hours in
the last year or so, in one respect he's lodged
more securely than ever in radio.
In partnership with radio-TV announcer Bill
O'Connor he owns two radio stations - WCVS in
Springfield, Ill., and WBOW in Terre Haute, Ind.
But Art's travel bug fits in nicely with th ese
responsibilities.
"If there's no place els e to go, Elaine and
the kids and I take off fo r Springfield or Terre

(Editor's note: Art will give Villager readers

Morton Grove Park District
playgrounds are preparing for
a big "Circus in Town" Friday,
July 25.
That's the day youngsters
will leave from their home
playgrounds
and travel to
Harrer Park for the big event.
A costume parade will open
the program at 10:30 a.m. and
events will last until 3 p.m.,
when the children return home.
In circus tradition, bingo

playground will build one booth.
WARRANTS ISSUED
VETOES ZONE CHANGE
Warrents have been issued
by Judge Albert Baumhardt for
a pair of burglars who robbed
the
Electro-Metal Products
Corporation, 8055 Monticello
Ave., of company checks on
June 7th.
They are Melvin Trompe,
Northlake, and Harold Drew,
Chicago. Originally Chicago ·
police charged the pair with
operating a confidence game
after they were caught attempting to cash some of the stolen
checks. However, the more
serious burglary charge later
was lodged against them by
Sergeant Martin Conroy of the
Skokie Police Department, who
obtained signed confessions
from the pair.
The County Board had turned
thumbs down on a rezoning
plea for construction of an
apartment building on onequarter acre located on the west
side of Marmora avenue, if
extended, and 204 feet north
of Gross Point Road in Niles
township.
The
applicant, John A.
Johnson, 7638 Marmora, Skokie,
had testified he had planned
to extend a wing to the proposed
four-apartment building for use
as a professional engineers
office.
The commissioners rejected
his application to rezone the
property from R-4 residential
(single family) zone to B-1
business district.
No objections were issued
by Morton Grove, Skokie, Lincoln wood, Niles and Chicago.
But the county zoning board
recommended against rezoning,
holding that testimony presented at a public hearing last
month "was not convincing of
the public need or general
desirability of reclassifying
the property.''

The
'Villa ger'
SALUTES
It was a news item in the Villager a few
weeks ago, telling of the death by drowning of
Darold E. Archibald, 19, who had been living
at 6140 Grosse Point Rd., Niles. The accident
occurred while the youth was swimming in a
rainfilled excavation at Long near Simpson St.
in Skokie.
What the s_tor y did not tell was the heroic
effort made by members of the Skokie Police
and Fire Departments, and Dr. Herbert Trace
of the North Suburban Clinic who was summoned
to the scene of the drowning, to bring the youth
back to life.
As soon as Skokie police and firemen were
alerted to the scene of the accident, firemen
Bernard Weber and Joseph Poitras immediately
put the inhalator unit to work on Archibald.
When the doctor needed adrenalin from his
office, it was policeman Tom Pohls who sped
there to bring it to him.
Captain Louis Hennig, right, and officer Art
Even, with the station wagon ambulance used
to transport the victim to the hospital.
Police Offie er Robert Dahm, one of the first
at the scene of the drowning.
•••
It was fireman Weber who unwaveringly held
the oxygen mask over the youth face during the
fight-for-life ride to the hospital.
Police captain Louis Hennig and officers
Art Even and Robert Dahm worked rapidly and
efficiently to get the doctor to the scene and
then to transport the drowned man to the Community Hospital in Evanston.
Although their efforts were in vain, their
handling of the situation, and the fine cooperation between Skokie firemen and policemen, won
the admiration of everyone in the area.
At a Village Board meeting, Trustee Miles
T. Babb, ch air m a.n of the Skokie Fire and
Police Commission, lauded these men for their
work.
The Villager joins the Skokie Village Board
and the residents of Skokie in praising these
guardians of law and life.
Officer Tom Pohls who in the part he played in
the accident, demonstrated the rapidity with
which a policeman responds to an emergency.
