He was born at Fairfield, IMlinois and educated in the public schools of Tilinois. He is Borab was truly a statesman and not a politician. Had he been less a statesman and more the politician, had he been less independent and more interested in votes, he might have been President. But Borah was not the type of man to compromise not to equivocate. * a son of Iilincis who is no longer with us but who will live forever. Those two stories describe better than anything any one might say the character and ability of Borah. His voice is now silent but his words will live on forever, and I have no doubt when history is written the brilliant Senator will have a place among the nation‘s immortalsâ€"with such of the nation‘s great as Webâ€" ster and Calboun and Clay. The story is also told that after Borah finished his speech against the League of Nations, Vice Presiâ€" dent Marshall, an advocate of the League and presiding over the Senâ€" ate, sent the "Lion of Idaho" a note on which he had scribbeld: "Even an old mummy on a pedestal could not semain silent after such a The story is told that toward the end of his life, President Wilson, ill and broken as a result of the League of Nations battle and its bitterness, was driving along a street in Washâ€" ington when he saw Senator Borah â€"the man who had done more than any one else to defeat the Wilson ideal. The President turned to his companion and said: "There is one irreconcilable whom I can respect." His speeches were always on a high level and he was never known to engage in personalities. Through all the bitter fight over the League of Nations, Borah made no personal attack on President Wilson. His adâ€" dresses on this subject are considâ€" ered masterpieces, and that of Noâ€" vember 19, 1919, just prior to the Senate rejection of the treaty earnâ€" estly desired by Wilson, has often been said to be one of the greatest ever delivered in the United States Senate. Monday (the 22nd) ranking officials from the three branches of the govâ€" ernment, as well as representatives of foreign governments, assembled in the small Chamber of the United States Senate to pay respect to the distinguished late Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho. The ceremonies were impressive. They were imâ€" pressive in their simplicity. One could not but reflect on the fact that it was this lack of pretenâ€" tiousness, indeed his simplicity, that endeared Borah to the people he represented at Washington since 1907 and to his colleagues in the Senate. He disliked the superficial and never deliberately sought to imâ€" press any one with his ability or imâ€" portance. He was not a showman, & wisecracker nor a stuntist, so comâ€" mon in political life. Yet no man in our day has commanded for so many years the public attention that was Borah‘s. In the language of the press, he was always "news." The kindly Senator attracted peoâ€" ple and won the admiration of his bitterest enemies by his sincerity of purpose. He held public attention and obtained respect by the brilâ€" liance of his intellect and his power of oratory. He persuaded others to his side and an issue by his clear logic. I think it may be said that no other Senator had a wider audiâ€" ence than the late Senator from Idaho. Whenever Borah rose in his place to speak in the Senate, Senators inâ€" variably could be seen to come in from cloakrooms to take their seats. The press gallery, practically empty most of the day, would quickly be filled. Employees in the various ofâ€" fices in vicinity of the Capitol would seek seats in the public galleries. That of itself is an indication of Borah‘s quality of intellect and power of expression. It was these lasting qualities that gained for the Senator from a relatively small State an important place in Ameriâ€" can history, By Raiph E.

Michael S. Palermo, chairman of the Sea Scout Ship urged members of the civie association to hire the boys so that they could get their new uniforms. The citizenship committee will beâ€" gin its activities with a meeting on Tuesday evening, Feb. 6, at the home of E. F. Nelson of Forest Ave. It is an open committee and all who are interested are invited to the meeting. Mr. Nelson has an interâ€" esting plan worked out for all young mmmwmmd; 21 and are ready to vote. His serios Victor Carlson and his committee on railway safety have done some extensive research work, in timing the speed and number of trains passing through the village; taking pictures of unguarded crossings; making diagrams and gathering data on rules and regulations for bells, lights and gates at crossings. They are asking members of the community to write this committee any suggestions that will be conâ€" structive in their investigations. Further reports if this group will be made at the next meeting. One objective has already been accomâ€" plished which is getting the railroad to ngree to put up a fence between the two tracks at the depot to preâ€" vent commuters from walking onto the tracks and into the path of anâ€" other train. This will be done in the early spring. Interesting reports on â€" many phases of civic projects were heard on Tuesday evening at the regular _monthly meeting of the Deerfield Civic association in the Town hall. President E. F. Nelson called on all committee chairman to report the progress of their work. Arthur Pearson, in the absence of J. A. Benz, gave the yuletide summary and because of its popularity, will become an annual event. Burton B. McRoy‘s report of the recreational committee was presented by Lester B. Ball outlining the financial probâ€" lems and teling of the playground ice rink. He also explained that the school was trying to educate both children and parents in safety measures to prevent them from crossing the tracks and insisting that they use the subway. Mr. Ball also stated that 94% of all children attending the Deerfield Grammar school cros either railroad tracks, or one of the two main arterial highways in order to get to school. In stating that they crossed the tracks he meant that they lived west of the tracks. ‘ The Deerfield Grammar school last Monday commenced its second semester of the school year. Changes are being made in the club program offered and in the work taken up in the upper grade rooms. New tests are being offered in the Social Studies and the English work. Durâ€" ing the second semester practical emphasis will be placed in all grades upon the individual progress of boys and girls in their subject matter Fees Now Payable The fees collected for books and supplies for the Grammar school are now payable for the second semâ€" ester. Monies collected from this source go toward the purchase of new test books and supplies. By this means a more upâ€"toâ€"date group of text books are kept on hand for use by the children. Report Cards Issued On Wednesday, Report cards for the end of the semester were sent out. The report used is the new one inaugurated this year which atâ€" tempts to give a clear diagnostic picture of the child‘s progress. The report used in all grades consists of two parts. A grade given in the subject and a letter written to the parent, explaining the progress of the child. It is felt by means of this dual report system a more clear picture of his school progress is presented. Alumni Play Basketball As part of the midâ€"semester the boys of last year‘s graduating class were invited for a basketball game against this year‘s 7th and 8th Grade boys. Children in all the grades were invited to attend the game.

The supâ€" port of the school which comes from tax sources has been materially reâ€" duced and it was therefore found necessary by the Board to make cerâ€" tain retrenchments. The program of the Grammar school will not be seriously affected in its instructional program; howâ€" ever, other services will not be maintained at the present level, All Members of Stagers Share in Production Feb. 16 The color scheme of the set was designed by Robert Alexander, who appeared in "The Last Warning." The walls of the set will be dubonâ€" net, the woodwork oyster white, and draperies chartreuse. Adding to the rich appearance of the set will be several "Old Masters" painted by Mary Jane Galloway, who painted the portrait in the office scene of "The Last Warning." Makes Reductions And Retrenchments At a meeting of the Grammar School Board of Education held Monâ€" The finances of the Deerfield Grammar school have suffered, as have the finances of other schools in our area, due to a decrease in tax collections during the past months. Further, the school finances were curtailed by a 50% decrease for the present year in income for the supâ€" port of tuition pupils by the state. The effect of these decreases in inâ€" come for next year have not as yet been determined and the Board of Education at the present time is working upon a study to determine the situation for the 1940â€"41 school term. The upper school singing lessons will be discontinued for the balance of the school year. The school gym will be closed completely with the exception of special rentals for the balance of the cold weather. The Grammar school will be closed comâ€" pletely on evenings with the excepâ€" tion of services to the West Deerâ€" field Township library, which is| loâ€" cated in the school building. ‘The Dental Clinic services, operated in the school, under the sponsorship of community agencies, but supported financially by the school will be disâ€" continued for the balance of the school term. It is hoped that outâ€" side financial aid can be obtained for this program so as to guarantee its continuance for the balance of the term. It was felt that the reductions in the program made by the Board would be those that would least afâ€" fect the instructional program of the school. It was also announced by the Grammar School Board that further information on the financial situation would be made available as soon as this information was obâ€" taired from the Lake county tax auâ€" thorities. A series of meetings is planned for the consideration of the school finances, as soon as furâ€" ther information is available and the study is completed. NUMBER 49 S
