§$§ By ELMORE Monday evening‘s City Council meetâ€" uprfii::fi , acting as pany oh. ing alt J i the subâ€" i Em raanne hss Ur c me y uojel and totid bee Cpuint? petice in ne. «defend Cou.pal';cflnn ion in acâ€" eeptin:t Chief o; olice‘s resigâ€" nation. Mr. Gourley attempted to point out that the whole affair was strictly a matter of businéss routine between the Chief of Police as an employee and the Mayor as an emâ€" ployer. He held that innsmuch as :hauwrudb’m‘:wlwb’:g; theenmnniwt.hmtm:of‘ running the city should be left enâ€" tirely in their hands. He likened the case to a head of a large corâ€" poration asking for the resignation of a subordinate official and then beâ€" ing compelled to listen to pleas for reinstatement from the rest of the employees. Mr. Singer in reply pointed out that the members of the community interested in Chief Moroney‘s reinstatement should be considered more in the light of stockholders rather than employees. Mayor Ronan took charge of the discussion at this point and stated in no uncertain terms that the reâ€" quest for information on the Morâ€" oney resignation should be directed not at the council, but rather at the subject of the resignation himself who was present in the audience. When no one volunteered to quesâ€" tion the Chief, the Mayor repeated his statement a second time and still noâ€" one appeared willing to assume the role of interrogator. Neither did Chief Moroney, himself, who had plenty of opportunity to throw light on the controversy make one move to state his side of the case. From this point on, everything said was definitely antiâ€"climax. In the parlance of the poker table, the Mayor made his bet and the commitâ€" tee for reinstatement tossed in their cards. To soften the blow someâ€" what, the Mayor pointed out that Chief Moroney was retiring on a pension fund of some $1,550.00 anâ€" nually which should be considered quite a helpful item in keeping the wolf away from the Moroney houseâ€" hold. When the audience had nothâ€" ing more to offer in the way of comâ€" ment the Mayor adjourned the meeting. A distinet air of finality pervaded the atmosphere of the eouncil chamber as the session closed and unless this writer badly misses his guess the Moroney resignation is a closed chapter in the book of Highland Park‘s civic affairs. The Mayor evinced great distress at all the fuss made over the Morâ€" oney resignation and after the day state the case for the average citiâ€" (Continued on Page 8) A sparkling comedyâ€"mystery laid amdist a glittering beauty pageant is to be seen onn&e doubleâ€"feature Furious" will be screened.

Even after persistent rehearsals, the cast still get laughs out of their lines. The properties are especially interesting, to the cast since they include gingerbread and ice cream.

Young Murdock, who had been visiting his aunt, Mrs. J. E. Bagâ€" got Jr., in Bannotkburn, was driving east into the village, and the Hiâ€" awatha was approaching from the: north. He passed and waved to Joâ€" seph McGarrigle, Bannockburn moâ€" torcycle police, who was traveling in the same direction. McGarrigle tried to signal to him to stop, but without avail, and the next instant his car was struck squarely by the train. His body was thrown from the car and badly mangled.

Banners announcing the event have been placed on light poles throughâ€" out the business district, and the vaâ€" rious merchants have trimmed their stores and windows in keeping with the occasion.
