rAGE TWo Deerfleld Board Revokes Tavern Owner‘s Cash Bond The Deerfied Village board of trustees met Tuesday evening for the regular monthly meeting. Anâ€" other piece of property in the vilâ€" lage is to be subdivided in the near future. This is the five acre tract at the corner of Waukegan road and Greenwood avenue. Last month the Easton farm property plat was presented to the board for discusâ€" sion, but nothing was done at this meeting concerning that property. The funcral services of the late Richard _C. Canterbury, engineer and building contractor with offices in Chicago, who passed away at his home at 765 South Greenbay road early last Thursday morning, were held at the Highland Park Presbyâ€" terian church Sunday afternoon at 2:30. The Reverend Dr. Sherwin officiated at the services. Mr. Canterbury â€" was born _ in Franklin Grove, IIl., and received his education at the old Chicago Manual Training school and at Purdue uniâ€" versity from which he was graduâ€" ated in 1904. After a brief period in engineering | practice, he . took charge in 1906 of a farm mortgage Funeral Services Held Sunday for Richard Canterbury made application for a beer license which is to be granted. John D. Schneider, chairman of the license committee, also reported that the vehicle tags are now available. The board voted to take up the $100.00 cash bond of Tavern Owner Cassius Easton, who forfeited it three months ago, and did not appeal the case. Village Clerk Chester Wesâ€" ling was instructed to send regisâ€" tered letters to the three present tavern keepers to inform them that only two licenses would be issued on May first and that a special meetâ€" ing will be held on Tuesday evening, Jan. 16, to discuss the license fees and that all three are requested to be present. Applications for licensâ€" es must be made on or before March 15. in engineering . practice, he . took charge in 1906 of a farm mortgage busine<s founded by his father. He later expanded this business into a home building and real estate deâ€" velopment enterprise, Mr. Canterâ€" bury served as a major in the army during the World War and aided in the construction of the Hogg Isâ€" land ship building project. He moved to Highland Park from the south side of Chicago in 1921, and shortly began some noteworthy home _ building â€" developments â€" on Greenbay and Kimball roads. He was very active in local club affairs and served in an advisory capacity in many community projects. Mr. Canterbury was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraterâ€" nity, the University Club of Chiâ€" cago, and the Exmoor Country Club. Surviving are his widow, Mrs, Greek Miller Canterbury, and two sisters, Miss Maurice Mandeville of Lake Bluff and Mrs. George West Wilson of Glencoe. Again the question of reports from the judges on police cases came up for controversy. Another motion was approved which will require monthly accounting to the board. Routine reports of the varâ€" ious committees were heard. All members of the board were present. Dr. William F. Weir, minister of the Deerfield Presbyterian church, introduced the Rev. Mr. Lowe and Mr. McConnell of the Christian Inâ€" dustrial League of Chicago and told of the gift of a three story hotel to this organization which reclaims men. Both Rev. Lowe and Mr. Mcâ€" Connell asked for permission to reâ€" sume their work in Deerfield to pick up used articles to carry on their work in Chicago. Because of a pedâ€" dlers ordinance they had been barred from the village the past year. The board voted to allow the Industrial League to continue to operate in Deerfield. The pall bearers were â€" Messrs. Morton Mavor, LeRoy Towle, Luâ€" ther Durkes, Roy Keith, G. Ray Schaeffer, and Howard Smith. Mr. Ranius sang accompanied by Mr. Lewis â€" Eldridge, organist. _ Interâ€" ment was at Franklin Grove cemeâ€" tery following cremation at Graceâ€" land. Miss Taylor is Head Resident at Chicago Commons. She is president of the Chicago Federation of Setâ€" tlements, and has served on the committee on Adequate Relief since ita inception. Very active, this comâ€" mittee meets once a week, and has since last October. _ Because she Illinois Relief Situation to Be Discussed Jan. 17 "What Do You Know of the Reâ€" lief Situation in Illinois?" will be the subject discussed at the next meeting of the League of Women Voters, Wednesday, January 17, at No debate, further interest is nevertheless added by the fact that the speakers‘ views in many ways must necessarily be diametrically opposed. Miss Lea D. Taylor and Mr. Neal H. Jacoby, the speakers, both in key positions in their separate spheres, are highly qualified to give a comâ€" prehensive view of the situation. 1 p.m. at the Y.W.C.A The Deerfield A. & P. Tea Co contacts actual cases, she views the relief situation in terms of the huâ€" mans involved. "When we assume any relief," says Miss Taylor, "we also assume the responsibility for these people. We must look ahead and ask ourselves whether a more adequate relief fund would not, in the end, be a better investment for the city." Miss Taylor added that when men are forced to work withâ€" out sufficient clothing to keep them warm, in order to receive their share of the relief funds, a new problem may arise from a health standpoint. Mr. Jacoby represents the oppoâ€" site camp, as chairman of the Iliâ€" nois Emergency Relief Commission, which must reckon with a set apâ€" propriation, and the allocation of relief funds to some 1,400 adminisâ€" trative units, auditing their expenâ€" ditures, supervising the work of the units. No League member can afford to miss this meeting and will want to bring her friends. Relief problems fall in the province of the Departâ€" ment of Economic Welfare, whose local chairman is Mrs. George W. Carr. The State Chairman of Ecoâ€" nomic Welfare, Mrs. Maurice Polâ€" lack, will act as Chairman of the In view of the fact that Illinois‘ relief load is 35% higher than it was two years ago, and the approâ€" priation about 25% less, it is hard to see how the present appropriaâ€" tion can possibly prove adequate. ‘ fund would not, in | the Libertyville Drama Club at the better investment for | regular meeting of the Stagers, loâ€" s Taylor added that| cal dramatic club, in the Deerfield forced to work withâ€" | Presbyterian church on Tuesday eveâ€" lothing to keep them| ning.

This statement was made at the meeting of the Post on Monâ€" day evening, and the members are quite certain that they will not be keepers for the county opossum which is being passed around at each district meeting to the Post having the lowest membership. For the past two months Gurnee has had to "feed the kitty," which is still in itheir possegsion. [Deerâ€" field‘s quota last year was 58 and Deerfleld Post Don‘t Want ‘Possum I this Campbell Chapter To Initiate Jan. 17 this year‘s is about 62 members. Ralph Dunham, commander, apâ€" pointed John Klemp, LeRoy Meyers and W. K. Hout to act as a comâ€" mittee for the next card party, to be held in the near future. Legionnaire Marshall Pottenger made the announcement that all vetâ€" erans are now eligible for enrollâ€" ment in the CCC regardless of age.

All members are invited to attend and see the newly elected officers offiâ€" ciating. THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1940 William E. Dietz, director of the midwest office of the League of Naâ€" tions, gave a very stirring and viâ€" brant talk on "Adjustment to Chaâ€" osâ€"Reaction and Revolution in Euâ€" rope" before a goodly attendance of members of the Highland Park Chamber of Commerce. It was one of the finest talks beard by this group of men. Because of the interest in the speaker‘s subject, the business meetâ€" ing was very brief, with only the appointment of committees being made. Other reports will be given at the next meeting of the Chamber. Discusses Europe‘s Problems Monday at Chamber Meeting
