James O‘Connor Supervisor West Deerfield, Dies James O‘Connor, age 76, passed away suddenly early Monday mornâ€" ing at two o‘clock at his home 1053 West Deerfield road, Deerfield. He had been in reasonably good health and had attended church on Easter morning so his death came as a shock to the community. Mr. O‘Cciâ€" nor succeeded the late George Rockâ€" enbach, as supervisor of West Deerâ€" field Township in 1917 and held that office at the time of his death. His term would have expired in 1941 with 23 years already served. He also served as trustee of the Deerâ€" field Village board and was chairâ€" man of the Lake County Board of Supervisors in 1928. Mr. O‘Connor was a son of James and Mary Kennedy O‘Connor. The senior Mr. O‘Connor came from County Meath, Ireland, to Deerfield in 1842. The father died when the children were very young and Mrs. O‘Connor and her children continâ€" vued to farm. Young James, who was seven at the time of his fathers death, was born July 25, 1863. James became a good farmer and in the prime of life was a large land owner in this locality. He marâ€" ried Catherine Lynch, a Chicago school teacher, and brought her to bis farm where they lived until reâ€" tirement to the village in 1920. The senior Mrs. O‘Connor passed away in 1917 and Supervisor O‘Connor‘s wife in 1925. Six children were born to them with two passing away in infancy. The surviving children are Lucy (Sister Mary Leonette) of the Immaculata Convent, Chicago; Frank, Joseph and Rose, of Deerâ€" field.

DEERFIELD, ILLINOIS CHEST CLINICS Washington, D.C., March 23â€"On Wednesday, by a vote of 14 to 4, the Senate Committee on Banking and currency decided to report a resolution introduced by Senator John G. Townsend Jr., (R), of Delâ€" aware, to repeal the President‘s auâ€" thority to buy foreign silver under the terms of the Silver Purchase Act of 1934. The committee took this action in spite of the objections voiced by the Secretary of Treasury. Unless the Administration can devise some way to tie this repeal resolution up with parliamentary strings, I feel reasonably certain it will pass both the Senate and the House. Perhaps this will be the beâ€" ginning of much needed reform in the monetary policies of the New Deal. By Ralph E. Church Representative, 10th Congressional District The enactment of the Silver Purâ€" chase Act is one of the most serious and costly mistakes the Administraâ€" tion has made. It has enabled the owners of domestic silver mines, the foreign producers and the speculaâ€" tors to make great profits at the exâ€" pense of a sound monetary system and the Federal Treasury. Over 1 billion 896 million ounces of this metal have been bought from forâ€" eign producers and something like 310 million ounces have been purâ€" chased from domestic companies. In other words, the American t.ax-‘ payer has paid something over $220 million for newlyâ€"mined silver in the United States alone. It has acâ€" tually amounted to a subsidy to apâ€" proximately 25 or 30 companies. It can be said that the American peoâ€" ple have made a casual gift of mround $125 million to these few silver mining interests. The silver purchasing program was inaugurated at the specific reâ€" quest of the President. The Act was placed on the statute books on June 19, 1934. By its terms the Secreâ€" tary of Treasury was directed to purchase silver at a reasonable price up to the statutory value of $1.29 an ounce until the Treasury held silver equal to 25% of the monetary value of its gold and silver holdings. The President has not only the power to make these purchases of silver, but under another monetary act originally passed in 1934 he has the power to remonetize it at some arbitrary ratio to gold. If the Presâ€" ident should exercise his power to monetize our silver monetary stock and devalue it to the full extent proâ€" vided by law, disastrous inflation would undoubtedly follow. This conâ€" stitutes a serious threat over the national economy, and is one of the faetors which prohibits a sound reâ€" covery. The question of a single or double standard for the monetary system of the United States has long been a political issue. It is an old hisâ€" toric battle. But, for some reason, our historic experiences with silver legislation do not seem to have taught us any lessons. It will be recalled, for instance, that in 1878, over the veto of Presiâ€" dent Hayes, Congress blundered into the Blandâ€"Allison Act for the purâ€" chase of silver by the Treasury. In six years the government was in trouble because of that program and there developed what may be said to be the silver business Jeâ€" pression. It was only by certain monetary . manipulations that . a panic was averted. _ In 1890 a still greater folly was committed when the Sherman Silver Purchase Act was passed. Three years later a panic resulted, and President Cleveland called Congress into special session and the silver measure was promptly repealed. The resolution of Senator Townâ€" send, which now goes before the full Senate, relates only to the purchases of foreign silver. It should be enâ€" larged to include domestic as well as foreign purchases, and it should also take back from the Executive the powers Congress delegated to him by which he has complete conâ€" trol of our monetary system. Reâ€" form in the monetary policies of the Administration will contribute much to the country‘s economic health and Yow!

Thomas, of Homer Dahringer Post, the American Legion; and Mrs. C. A. Wolf, librarian, Deerfield. A very interesting program was presented by children of Deerfield school, under the direction of Lesâ€" ter B. Ball, superintendent, and Ray J. Cox, Social Studies teacher. Members of the Executive Board of the Student Council, of which Mark Hout is president, conducted a Council meeting.

Dunâ€" ham presided, and his Americanism chairman, Anthony Mercurio, preâ€" sented award pins, while the Amerâ€" icanism chairman of the Auxiliary unit, Mrs. W. A. Tennermann, conâ€" ducted the contest. Bannockburn Club Plans Exhibit for Chicago Flower Show The theme of the 1940 Chicago Flower Show is "Colonial Adaptaâ€" tions" and is being held from March 30 to April 7, marking the fourâ€" teenth flower show which the Garâ€" den Club of Illinois has presented. The Bannockburn Garden club has always taken an active interest in the shows and this year will have the following exhibits: A Formal Table, planned and diâ€" rected by Mrs. James E. Baggot Jr., assisted by Mrs. Andrew E. Vanâ€" Esso. A Flower Arrangement in a Wooden Container, by Mrs. Marâ€" shall Doty, assisted by Mrs. Wilâ€" liam Keady. Interior of English Cottage Winâ€" dow, by the Junior Bannockburn Garden club, under the direction of Mrs. Joseph Condon, will be decoâ€" rated. Herbert Banse, architect for the show states: "The architecture was definitely determined to be rather modest and contemporary such as would be apâ€" plicable to the average home owner. All the buildings show an American architectural precedent. The enâ€" trance group has a Virginia derivaâ€" tive, the next a Neoâ€"Greek, and then several of a New England backâ€" ground. As many different features such as terraces, porches, sunrooms, bays, front, rear, and service yards, etc., were incorporated as space permitted. The plan of the entire show was designed to overcome as much as possible the feeling of extreme length that the Pier naturally enâ€" tails. To accomplish this, the variâ€" mit the public to view the buildings from several sides, One building completely straddles the hall to create the feeling of actually enterâ€" ing a "residence." All small disâ€" plays are concentrated in the "Galâ€" lery Arrangements" so that a conâ€" secutive and realistic picture created from beginnnig to end."

Deerfield Community Calendar Meeting Called for April 3 In an attempt to eliminate the duplication of meetings in the Vilâ€" lage of Deerfield, plans are now unâ€" derway for the creation of a Comâ€" munity â€" Calendar. _ According to present plans, the Grammar school office will act as secretary for the Community Calendar. Here, a list of the dates for week, month, and year will be recorded in permanent form. It is planned that by calling the school, it will be possible to find out exactly on what date meetâ€" ings are planned in the village. Further, by means of the calendar, regular meeting nights for various organizations in the community can be worked out in a harmonious fashion. In discusing the Community Calâ€" endar, Mr.\ Ball, superintendent of the school, pointed out that the sucâ€" cess of such a project will depend on the 100 percent cooperation of all the organizations in reporting the dates of their meetings. The folâ€" lowing is the letter mailed to the heads of organizations in Deerfleld. "Many of us have felt for someâ€" time that there is a pressing need in Deerfleld for some kind of agency through which all club and social activities can be checked in order to prevent duplicates in dates and times. Several communities have worked this problem out well by inâ€" stituting community calendars. "Simply, this calendar is located at some convenient place where a call can be made and a date and time set aside. Also all the regular meetings and activities of the comâ€" munity are listed on this calendar. If organizations wish two meetings on the same evening, they may of course. The calendar does facilitate checking to see what is going on. Further in the operation of the Community Calendar ,copies are sent to each organization each month and a complete calendar would appear in the newspaper each week. "The Deerfield Grammar school is very much interested in seeing such a plan in operation and would be willing to act as the secretary for such a calendar. To set up the plan, this letter is being written to the heads of all the organizations in Deerfield. â€" "We would appreciate it if you or your representative could attend a short meeting at which we would plan the organization of a Deerfield Community Calendar. This meetâ€" ing will be held on Wednesday, April 3, at eight o‘clock in the Comâ€" munity room of the Deerfield Gramâ€" mar school, â€" "If it will be impossible for you or your representative to attend, we would appreciate your letting us know your feelings on the matter, sometime before the meeting is held." In regard to the planning of the calendar, it is hoped that the heads of the organizations will hold the night of April 3 open for this meetâ€" ing, or will plan to have a delegate here.
