Track Team To Be At U of I Meet

A bulletin for all the avid fishermen readers The salmon and walleye are heading upstream to spawn in the Fox river.

Don't get too excited you have to be along the Fox river in Wisconsin to take advantage of theJishtng.

If you ever drive through the town of Buckley, be sure and notice the Lion's club sign on the west side of the business district. The dub maintains a lighted sgn on which community activities are listed. This is a terrific idea to alert and remind local citizens of events and a great way to encourage motorists to partake in their community activities.

Only one drawback a Chatsworth resident could see to the idea being used locally was "How big would the sign have to be7” It sure would be a great addition to anycommunity's image.* * *

The grass has really started to turn green with the warmer weather but with Tuesday and Wednesday’s snow may get a little frost bit. However, birds w ere heard W ednesday! morning singing the promise/ of spring. * * *

A suggestion as how to solve the problem at knowing

people's home addresses wa» made that really sounds excellent and easy Before the next telephone books are published if everyone would check and be sure that their street address is listed in the book after their name it could really make a stranger's delight to go looking for their friends. ★ ★ ★

Some person or persons w ere very busy being d estru c tiv e last Saturday evening. They were very busy throwing eggs at people's homes and buildings. There was also some property damage done in one resident's yard. At the pnce of eggs now days it seems hard to think of anyone being so wasteful much less destructive . If caught in the act it would be rather rough for the culprets. There are many worthwhile things to do and with a little thought they can rechannel their efforts. * * *

T h e re are tow nsh ip elections coming up next Tuesday so don’t forget to exercise your right to vote. There seem to be no contests developing in the townships but just remember with a large a m o u n t o f a p a th y a write-invote could change the results considerably. It might not be what most citizens feel would be the best.

M e m b e r s o f , t h e Chatsworth High school track team will run in the Illinois A rm ory at U rbana on Saturday. Participating in the meet will be Ron Snow and Mike Somers, 60 yeard dash. Mike Somers. Long jump. Jerry K urtenbach , Dick Cording, Ron Snow, and Mike Somers. 4 lap relay (each boy runs 260 yards). Mark Haberkorn, Dick Cording, Ron Snow and SteveKurtenbach or Mike Somers. 8 lap relay (each boy runs 520 yards).

The 60 yard dash will start at 10 a.m., the long jump will go on all day, 8 lap relay starts at 2 p.m. and the 4 lap relay at 3:30 p.m.

This is not just another track meet. It is a Meet of Champions. Over fifty schools are entered. They are divided into class "A" and "B” divisions with the smaller schools in the class "B" division.

Coach Fisher thinks his best chances for scoring points in the meet are Mike Somers in the 60 yard dash and the 4 lap relay team of Jerry Kurtenbach, Dick Cording, Ron Snow and Mike Somers. But whether they score or not, it will give the boys a chance to run on the synthetic tartan track in the Armory at the University of Illinois.

Com pleteC A P S Land Purchase

C A PS h a s re c e n tly completed the purchase of the LaVerne Dehm property at the n o rth w est edge of Chatsworth. President Charles Culkin reported that there are still a number of people to be contacted for the fund drive and it is hoped to complete the drive in the near future. He further added that just because the initial purchase had been made does not mean that funds are not needed. Both monies and labor will be most valuable to enable the project to become a working part of the community.

Bob Arbogast and Mrs. Dale Kimmel have been added to those already on the planning committee. They are Grant Conibear, John Boyce and Robert Milstead.

T h e re is a teenage committee being put together and the planning committee will be working with them in beginning work on the barn which is to be the location for teenage activities, among other things.

Cox advised the radio dispatcher that he had just seen two persons answering that description crossing the street and that he thought he could locate them.

State Police trooper Bill Joyce of Chatsworth arrived to assist Cox, and they located the two young women in Zimmermans. It is reported that they had a radio m their possession from that store; a n d po lice were seen recovering a hairdryer from the women’s car.

At presstime, there was an additional report that they were suspected of theft of clothes from a Forrest store.

He also served as a policeman at Chatsworth for several years. He moved to Springfield in 1945 and had worked for the Illinois State Police for 20 years. He retired in 1964.

He married Grace Fletcher at Hammond, Ind., Oct. 9, 1903. She died at Springfield, Jan. 28, 1962. He married Anna Litzler at Springfield, June 18, 1963.

Surviving are his wife, five sons, Roy, Roberts, Clifton, Pontiac. John G., Springfield; Robert, Normal; Raymond, Forrest, a daughter, Mrs. Jean F e l l e r s , F o r r e s t . 12 g r a n d c h i l d r e n , 17 great grandchildren and a great great grandchild.

Several brothers and sisters preceded him in death.

Tuesday evening a group of c i t i z e n s in te re s te d in community activities met to form an American Field Service (AFS) chapter in Chatsworth. This will enable the community to apply to the International organization for a foreign exchange student to spend a year in the community.

Officers elected for the first year of this organization were Dr. T. F. Mauger, p r e s i d e n t , R ev . Wm. B urm eister, vice-president; Mrs. D onald Haberkorn, secretary; Robert Stuckey, treasurer; Student family liaison, Mrs. John Kelly; school liaison, Gene Weber; home selection chr., Mrs. Wm. L i v i n g s t o n ; s t u d e n t representative. Miss Jo Beth Hubly, publicity, Mrs. Audrie Haskins; projects chairman, Mrs. Dan Kyburz and Mrs. Don Hobart. Bud Herr is also a member of the chapter.

The group will now apply to New York for a charter to be recognized.

The AFS program brings students from overseas for a year to study in the senior year of a U. S. secondary school and to live with a U. S. family as sons and daughters. They are students between the ages of 16 and 18 years who have been carefully chosen for both personal and academic qualities. These students have studied English. They come from a p p ro x im a te ly 61 different countries, staying for one year and are required to return home at the end of that year.

A community wishing to p a rtic ip a te in the AFS program needs to obtain approval from the local secondary school to accept a student tuition free, form a ch ap te r to handle AFS matters in the community, raise the necessary funds, p r i m a r i l y th e $ 8 5 0 participating contributions for each student, nominate to AFS/Int’l families suitable to receive the student as a m em ber of the family, without pay, during the year.

It was felt by those present that raising the necessary funds for the project might present some problems but that the advantages to be gained by the community as a whole would far outweigh any difficulties.

Any interested parents who might wish to have a student in their home are asked to contact Mrs. Wm. L iv in g s to n . The m ain requirements are that they be 37 years of age and either have a teenager or have raised one. Applications will be made to the New York office for consideration.

Surrounding communities already hosting AFS students are Forrest, Qienoa, Gndley, F a irb u ry , P on tiac , and Lexington.

WHY THEAMERICAN LEGION?

Marshall G. Follett Commander

AAKV1G-CAMPBELL POST #78Tho Am orican Legion

- BATTLE AFTERMATH -It is well to remember that

in each of the major pro grams of the American Le­gion, namely Americanism, Child Welfare, Economics, Finance, Legislation, Reha bilitation. Security, Graves Registration, the Sons of the American Legion, battles had to be fought against over­whelming odds and in each the A m e r i c a n Legion emerged triumphant. One of the programs that received the least opposition and the most backing from the be­ginning was under Child Wel­fare, American Legion Junior Baseball. In 1925 there were 750 organized Junior teams, by 1928 there were 5,000 and the number has continued to grow every year Today, the majority of our "big leaguers” got their start in Legion base­ball.

In the 20's and 30’s the Legion took the most unpopu­lar stand, that of National Security The Legion as­sumed that there would be future wars. It held that US. security hinged upon strength, that should war come, strength might prevent attack, and that if attack came, preparedness would greatly reduce the toll in lives and substance. Our his­torians. sociologists and po­litical scientists have given little, if any, credit to the Legion for this record of pru­dent, reasonable and vital ac­tivity, mistaken through this period, because some were duped by foreign propagan­da, because others were among or associated with the Legion’s most vicious detrac­tors; and finally because most witnessed their most sacro- sance ideas made a shambles by the second world war and its aftermath. From the start the Legion was both deliber­ately and naively given the label of "militarist" by paci­fists, radicals and subver­sives As we have seen, the Legion fought stubbornly but Unsuccessfully for its UMT program while the shouts of "Disarm” echoed down the years to be joined almost 20 ye«n later by the cry, "Peace at any price.” By all of the objections and ridicule that came to the Legion from 1919 to 1939 because of its desire to maintain the United States as the nation of freedom that was in our country's fore­fathers' minds, a lesser group would have folded and scat­tered to the four winds, not so the Legion. While pushing for security for the nation it also strove for international peace Legionnaires focused attention on three areas of endeavor, interrelated and dependent each upon the other Besides defense. Le­gion concerns have been di­rected at foreign relations and the strengthening of the nation against subversion. In reading our history today, we wonder what the condition or

status of the United States would have been if it had not been for the Legion's insist­ent struggle prior to World War II

Early in its history, the American Legion combined efforts with the American Red Cross and this liaison paid off many times in dis­aster relief and rebuilding. In the earthquake disaster in Long Beach. Calif., 10 March 1933, though the Army, Na­vy and National Guard acted with dispatch, the Long Beach Press and other publi­cations emphasized t h a t American Legion workers were the first to mobilize When the Mississippi went on its rampage, when the Red River and the Bayou de Glaises broke through their levees, when the Steamship Morro Castle ran aground and burned, the 1933 flood at Newport, Kentucky, the Nebraska floods and the 1938 disaster . on Loop Creek, Washington, just to name a few, it was the same story, the Legion was there to help.

Even though the onset of World War II cancelled the conventions for four years, The American Legion didn’t stand still. By 1933, the propaganda of the enemies were hard at work They had convinced many that peace was at hand, but they did not convince the Legion as they continued to fight for pre­paredness.

Little is known of the FBI- Legion cooperation during World War II, but men of unquestioned discretion who were familiar with local con­ditions could be found in the Legion to help the FBI. J. Edgar Hoover, credited the Legion with outstanding aid in detection and conviction in several thousand cases, of control of nazi. facist. and Japanese activities inside the country within the frame­work of law and order.

As the war raged on, on two or more fronts, the Legion­naires at that time, all vet­erans of the first major con­flict of 1917, remembered well the problems that con­fronted them when they re­turned home from Europe With these memories fixed well in their minds, they avowed that this would never happen to veterans of any fu­ture wars. The GI Bill was born. The broad concept originated in the American Legion, a member of the American Legion wrote the bill, an employee of the Le­gion suggested its meaning­ful name. Legionnaires pro­moted it and handled its le­gal presentation, and a for­mer Commander secured its unanimous approval in the Senate. It was the Legion’s greatest single legislative achievement.

Want to see if we can collect pictures of the destruction of the Bear Brand buildings and investigate to see if the firm left any wealth of any kind in the community: intelligence, good Uving, research, spirit, public service, hope for the hopeless. Even the waste of charity for churches. Or the risky business of inspired intellectual co-operation controlled by suggestion: pants for the little league, shim for the bowlers, gowns for the choir. And by all means the WKAN news statement, "The firm saved the community after 1929”. Mind you save a city with money. Or try to accept that as gospel truth, "Money is intelligence", To me it is equal to the quote on the comer stone of the St. Paul's Lutheran School, Prov 1-7, 'T he fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” • rest of line, "But fools despise wisdom and instruction”. Whatever the groups findings are try for 1 day or 1 week to tell the story each year forever on the radio for this growing intelligence. The support money to come from volunteer pledge money.
