Gridley, Libertyville rinted in last Saturday‘s ibertyville Independent: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1926 B2 2C With 4,659 arrests to his credit, and with thousands of dollars of earnings, Bheriff Ed Ahlstrom last week left his office to Sheriff Lawrence Doolittle after four years of service. The payment on the car cut in conâ€" siderably on the amount turned in in excess to expenses. This was among the best reports turned in by the sheriff, according to Mrs. Helen Parâ€" dini, his secretary. Two other reâ€" ports, she said, were a trifle better. ARRESTS NUMBERED 4,659 During this time he paid out $7,â€" 094.13 of which $1,200 was his salâ€" ary for the half year, $4,762.81 for deputy hire and operating expenses, and $1,131.92 toward the last payment on the Cadillac used for county busiâ€" ness. The balance left was $3,519.15 which went to the county treasurer. This is the last report of the reâ€" tiring sheriff and it goes to the board of supervisors |at the December 14 session. s ~The board allows the sheriff $9,000 annvally for salaries and deputy hire and ‘ $2,500 for administrative exâ€" penses. § His last half year report, dating from June to December 1, gives an idea of the. office earnings. In all he received $10,614.18 for court ‘ fees, miscellaneous fees, for keep of govâ€" ernment prisoners and from old bills. MUCH FOOD USED TN SCHOOL CAFETERIA Deerfieldâ€"Shields Cafeteria Utiâ€" lizes Large Quantities Manager Says Turns In $10,614 for Last Six Months of His Term; Profit of $3,519; Will Take To feed the Deerfieldâ€"Shields stuâ€" dents and teachers it requires a large quantity of food, according to Mrs. Wright, the manager of the lunch room, who is thus quoted by . the Shoreline, the school paper: Like Creamed Chicken "Our biggest days of meat are when we have creamed chicken and chop suey," says Mrs. Wright. "We have 800 servings daily of potatoes and 200 of baked beans and spaghetti. AHLSTROM RETRES MADE GOOD RECORD _ "We sell 600 sandwiches daily and 200 plates of lettuce. "There are 175 salads made daily for the students. These are plain letâ€" tuce, banang, tomatoe, butterfly, poâ€" tato, salmon, and chicken. ~On the days we make potato and ¢hicken salads there are never enough made to satisfy the wants of the students. Taste In Pies Change "We could never make enough choâ€" colate pies last year," says Mrs. Wright, "while this year the trend of taste runs toward apple and cherry pies. + . "Ice cream is our biggest selling dessert, as we usually sell 350 dishes of this and 135 of cake, but chilled fruits seem to be more popular than ice cream on the days we have it. Raw fruits are always available for those who desire it, but there are very few students who like this," says Mrs. Wright. : 3 NEW PARISH HOUSE OF GLENVIEW CHURCH "Of the beverages we sell 175 botâ€" tles of milk daily and eighty bottles of cocoa." Gustave P. Kroschel, of Reinwaldt avenue, Wilmette, has just completed the Methodist church parish house in Glenview, a six room brick English Colonial, costing $16,000. He is also just starting a six room brick veneer residence of the English type, which he will have ready for the market in the early spring. It will be offered at $16,000. The location of this house is just across the street from the Swain ‘Nelson nursery in the west part of the village, on Glenview road. Good Vacation . An audience at a Children‘s theater play is an absorbingly interesting study to a person who is concerned with its possibilities, according to Winifred Ward, director of the Chilâ€" dren‘s Theater, Evanston, and her comment following is of interest here with the plan to give plays for chilâ€" dren at Elm Plage school. She conâ€" tinues in the Evanston Review: To: watch the reactions of the litâ€" tle people is to find that something very real is happening; they are seeâ€" ing the wheels of life go around. And Aas they watch the working out of human dramatic situations, they are judging conduct. They are making valuations and setting up standards of justice, honesty, good sportsmanâ€" whip, loyalty. No one who saw the children at the plays last season could fail to note the thrills of sympathy for the gentle and forgiving Snow White, the plucky "little princess," the chivalrous Robin Hood, nor the scorn for the jealous queen, the spiteâ€" ful Lavinia, nor the cowardly sheriff of Nottingham, Good and â€"evil as abstratt qualities have little interest for children. Even stories of people possessing these gqualities are less vivid than what hapâ€" pens on the stage before their very eyes. :The object df an artistic play is not the tcachl: of morals, and for this very reasonâ€"if teaches them more effectively than do sermons. . Ideals built into sofmething children love have a powerful influence in affecting judgment and modifying conduct. If it be granted that plays influence for good or evil the standards which children set for themselves, is not the choice of plays a matter for careful consideration ?
