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.

Stop Light Program
Skokie trustees decided
Tuesday night tha t permanent
stop-and-go lights are needed
at the Main and Oakton St.
intersections of Crawford Ave.
They authorized village
engineer U.F . Turpin to draw
up plans for the installations.
Cost will come from motor fuel
tax funds.
Trustee Jum Smith also
pushed authorization for portable stop-and-go lights at the
intersections of Oakton and
Kilpatri~k and Keeler and
Dempster . They will operate
during hours when the Park
District swimming pools and

that. the Skokie based firm

period .
The
comm1s s1on
found
American
Coach equipment
inadequate, that breakdowns
were frequent, safety rules
violated , and that the company
"is not fit" to stay in the
public transportation business .
McCreary , who plans a court
fight to keep American Coach
running, was the first to file
an application when the ICC
invited bids from bus lines
throughout Illinois .for American
Coach routes. He filed on
behalf of Bluebird Coach Lines,
a west suburban line he ma nages.
No other line has filed for
the
north suburban routes
except South Suburban Sa feway
which put in its application
two weeks ago.
Monday the ICC set the
South Suburban Safeway a pplication for hearing June 26.
Harold Poslusny , ICC examiner, reported no date for
Bluebird's petition has been
scheduled because that line
hasn't furnished the commission secretary with required
proof that all interested parties

indictment. Milton
Rappaport, 48, of , 6600 N.
Harding, Lincolnwood has been
arrested by FBI agents. He
was seized in Hyde Park outside a rented apartment where
he had been living under an
assumed name .
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.
Sirens to Serve as
Storm Warnings
Arthur W. Haab, Skokie civil
defense director, announces
that in the future civil defense
sirens will be used for storm
warnings as well as for attack
warnings .
Three one-minute blasts with
two minutes of silence mean
an exercise or test.
One three-minute blast means
a storm warning - go to your
basement.
One steady blast of five
minutes' duration or longer
attack . Residents of the Village
of Skokie should go to Antioch.

west , " Albert Paull, 46 , of
7234 Keeler , Lincolnwood ,
was sentenced to one year and
a day by U.S . District Judge
Julius H. Miner Monday for

The newlyweds will make
their home at 1520 Dobson St.,

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.

And one little girl, with quizzical look,

"Tell me, are daddies for real?"
And the other child, with superior air,

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.

Local Members
Niles Township members of the Model T Ford
Club include Edward Bayless, 9102 Kilpatrick,
Skokie; Joseph Becia, 8026 Knox, Skokie;
Charles R. Drake, 6856 Kildare, Lincolnwood;
Walter Huber, 8021 Keating, Skokie; Rodney K.

Morton Grove; A.J. Verschoore, 6724 N. Kenton,
Lincolnwood, and George Wible, 9336 Nashville,
Morton Grove.
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,
a 1920 Patterson, center, and a 1927 Ford sedan.
In center photo he pauses while tinkering with
said. "It's a safe race, but it requires a lot of
skill."
Gals Get In The Act
Wives of members are busy rpaking or assem·
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."

the village.
Mrs.

• 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.

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

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-

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,

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

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 .

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

the school. She does most of
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

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
company outing.

The Skokie Civic Theatre

employing radically different

The invitation for the Aug. 5
drama was extended by Prof.
Robert S. Breen of the NU

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

Picnic Time: Seul Warns of
Hazards that Fires Create
Fire inspector Francis "Pat"
Seul of Skokie warns that,

''The most important rule is:
