Strong winds, blinding rain and a high sea, together with a manâ€" : propelled boat, hindered their efâ€" forts. Among the boats out when the storm hit were "Juno" owned by. Bob Rasmussen, "Wanderer" ‘ owned by John Engles; John Ridâ€" dle‘s "Feather"; Jake Croke‘s "Jay Cee"; "Termite" owned by Don Babcock; "Snipe" owned by Don | Sheridan, and Mr. Gaidzik‘s boat. ~«~â€"«~~â€"«~â€"««â€"â€"Biv, Gaidsikâ€"made â€"mâ€"frantic efâ€" ‘ fort to save the life of his son, but the odds were against him, and â€"â€" _ both were drowned before help arâ€" rived. many Dr. Carl A.

Last Saturday, Mr. Gaidzik and <his son, Michael, were claimed by Lake Michigan to add to its many victims. And then Monâ€" day, Eda Orlandi went to an unâ€" timely death by her own hand. Last Saturday, Andrew Peterson died of a stroke while Frances Cauley p.god quietly away at her home. The eternal balance between those brought into the world and those taken way was upset this week here in Highland Park. While five persons died, only one . baby was born. Deaths Outnumber Births During Week Members of the Sea Scouts who went to the rescue were J. Byrne, Mike O‘Brien, Bob Earhart, Milan Cobbler, Hugh Reading and Life Guard Carl Johnson. The death of Mr. Gaidzik and his son came as a great shock to Highland Park citizenry, who~exâ€" press their deepest sympathy to the bereaved family. The® Sea Scout motor boat from Wilmette helped in the recovery of the overturned vessels, while the Wilmette Coast Guard brought in the Gaidzik boat. Father And Son Drown Saturday In Lake Storm An alarm was turned in to the Wilmette Coast Guard, who were delayed in reaching Highland Park by capsized boats just outside the Wilmette harbor, all of which had to be assisted into port before the boat could proceed. Among the crews who were saved from the vessels were Bob Phelps, Myrtle Eckelmann, Gunther Schwandt, Jimmie Deagan, Peyton Allen, Harry Weese and Herbert Anderson. George W. Gaidzik, 54, and his son Michael, aged 15, of 200 Belle avenue, were drowned in Lake Michâ€" igan, Saturday, when their sailboat capsized during the heavy squall which hit the lake that afternoon. YOLUME Seven other sailboats which had left shore‘in the same convoy were brought back through the efforts of the local Sea Scouts and Wilmette Coast Guard. Five of the eight had capsized and two were beached. A motor boat cruising from Great Lakes to Wilmette fortunately saved all those on four of the capâ€" sized boats. Eight boats manned by Highland Park crews set out Saturday afterâ€" noon in a convoy to Waukegan. When the violent squall came up, five of the boats capsized, Members of the Sea Scout crew, on duty daily during the summer, realizing the plight of the boats, sent out a warnâ€" ing, formed a crew and went out to the rescue of .the distressed boats and their crews. No trace has yet been found: of Mr. Gaizdiks body. Communities along the north shore have been asked to notify the Highland Park police if a body is sighted in the water off any of the towns. A private service for Michael Gaidzik, whose body was found, bound in the ropes of the sailboat, when it was towed to shore, late Saturday afternoon, was held Tuesâ€" day afternoon at 8 o‘clock at Graceâ€" land cemetery.

Chandler, secreâ€" tary of the horse show. With famed equine stars and ridâ€" ers in the ring, it is certain that the â€"battles for ribbons, trophies, medals and cash awards will be keen.

Miss Orlandi has been employed by an Evanston cleaning establishâ€" ment as a presser for some time. Chief of Police de Smidt of the Highwood force said the girl‘s famâ€" ily could not disclose any motive for hc:'.let, other than despondency. . Dr, D. E. Rossiter, president of the local board of health was atâ€" tending another satient at the Highland Park hospital when he was summoned from the rocin of his patient, to answer an emerâ€" gency call, by Catherine Orlandi, another sister of the victim, who is employed as switchboard operator at the Highland Park hospital, Outâ€" side the patient‘s room, Miss Orlanâ€" di told Dr. Rossiter what had hapâ€" pened and he accompanied the girl to her parent‘s home where the tragedy had occured. After givâ€" ing first aid, he removed Miss Eda to the hospital, where it was found her condition would not permit the removal of the bullet. North Shore Line Pays Off Employes Strike Unsettled A coroners jury, Tuesday morning returned a verdict of death by a .25 calibre pistol, self inflected while in a moment of despondency. The suicide vietim was found, lyâ€" Thg on the bed in her room after she had fired a shot into her left temple. A second shot, which was discharged when the gun fell from the girl‘s hand lodged in the ceilâ€" ing of her room. The wounded girl was found by her mother and a sisâ€" ter Rose. Monday all employes of the North Shore Line received what looks like their last paycheck. The "‘final payroll," estimated at $62,000, was distributed to everyone from the receiver down to the lowliest section hand.

At present there are two unions attempting to represent the workâ€" ers. O. D. Zimring, counsel for the Amalgamated Association of Street Car and Electric Railway and Motor Corch Employees, an AFL affiliate, declared that the NLRB had no right to act in this case; he stated that the North Shore Line hauled freight and was thereâ€" fore subject to the National Railway Act. C. H. Smith, vice president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, presented evidence to show that his organization was preâ€" ferred by many of the laborers and E_ht‘,, Zimrig‘s reasoning was false. Despondency Causes Highwood Girl To End Life Monday **, The hearing, which is being conâ€" ducted before Trial Examiner Kenâ€" nedy, may continue for several days, said observers. What the outcome of the strike will be, no one seems to know. Some "authorities" say that the road will never open again, while others are thoroughly convinced it will not go out of existence. In the meantime the tracks are rusting, business is being affected and the road is losâ€" ing heavily each day it is closed. It is hoped that a speedy solution will soon be effected and that the road will return to service again. So far, by constant bickering, no definite action towards a settlement has been made.
