The Tribute Department: Joe and Jim Nield, we salute you this week. You two brothers have most amiable characters. Everyone who knows you â€" who merely meets you â€" is your friend. Never have I known two gentlemen who were, not only exceedingly popular with people of their own age, but also beloved by the younger set. This, I believe, is a great achievement. We enjoy comâ€" ing into your sport shop. We want you to continue your fine work, and we want both of you to have the best of everything.

The lovely home of Mr. Northbrook Days Aug. 3â€"4 Commemorate Century of Progress Just one hundred years ago this summer, in 1840, the first white setâ€" tlers came to the place now called Northbrook to make their homes. Henry Kiest, Sr., moved his famâ€" ily, along with the Strickers, Buâ€" berts and Wesslings, to this vicinity. Other people, mostly Germans from points farther east, came in and cstablished homesteads. Old settlers in this region place the first center of population on the grounds now occupied by Sky Harbor airport. On this ground stood a log church, which served as the communities first meeting place. The community grew and finally was large enough to take on its first nameâ€"Shermerville. The name comâ€" ing from one of the prominent setâ€" tlers, Fred Schermer. In 1902, when the town was incorporated with a population of 311, the "c" was dropped from the name and the first sign â€" posts â€" read â€" "Shermerville." This name continued until 1922 when the city council changed the name to Northbrook. This year‘s Northbrook Days, to be held on August 3 and 4, will commemorate this event. It will also start Northbrook off on its 40th year as an incorporated village.

He was a grandson of Fredâ€" erick R. Otis, a pioneer Chicago land owner. He was a graduate of Connell university and in 1926 he accompanied Sherwood Eddy, Interâ€" in a tour of Europe. Later he was treasurer and direcâ€" tor of the Chicago Farmers associnâ€" tion. His parents, Colonel Lucius A.

Schultz "No matter where one hag spent one‘s vacation it has not been possiâ€" ble to go far enough to avoid the menace of Fascism‘s lengthening shadow," says Mrs. George G. Boâ€" Americans Must Answer Total War In Total Citizenship gert in a letter addressed to local league presidents throughout Illinois, including Mrs. Philip Ringer, presiâ€" dent of the Highland Park league. "One conclusion is inescapable. If we are to maintain our democratic heritage, defense must go deeper than planes and ordnance, necessary though these are. In protecting our way of life, defense must become militant offense. Americans everyâ€" where must answer total war with total citizenship. "In this sharp crisis the League of Women Voters has a peculiar responsibility, since it is the only organization in the country that has atempted to do a complete citizen‘s job. It must not only continue with the tasks it has already undertaken, but must teach more people how to share them." Four Local Men Enrolled in CMTC At 7:30 o‘clock Monday morning 186 professional and business men, comprising the Special Citizens Milâ€" itary Training Camp, that is now receiving intensive training at Fort Sheridan, took to the road, carryâ€" ing light packs and rifles, for their first overâ€"night hike, under war time conditions. These trainees, many of whom had World War service, marched under a scorching sun to the Lasâ€" ker Estate, now property of the University of Chicago, where they went into bivouae. Arriving at the camp site shortâ€" ly before noon today, "pup" tents were pitched and the hungry field soldiers, with already "bugle tuned" ears, lined up for mess that was prepared on the new type Army gasoline field ranges. They wake to an early standâ€"to tomorrow morning, reveille being scheduled for 4:30 a.m., and by six o‘clock they are expected to be on their way back to camp. â€" Among those from Highland Park attending this camp are Lyman Baht, 1215 Wade St., Emil W. Cedâ€" erborg, 432 Glencoe Ave., Charles Z. Henkle, 17 Brittany Rd., Fred O. Toof, 436 Oakwood Ave. In its battle to improve the public service, the National League of Women Voters has just announced the issuance of a stout yellowâ€"jackâ€" eted pamphlet entitled, "The Awkâ€" ward Age in Civil Service," by Betâ€" sy Knapp, staff member. Vivid "Story" illustrations of the League‘s endeavor to fortify democracy through the creation of an efficient public service, local, state, and naâ€" tional, are packed into the pamphâ€" let‘s four major sections. Women Voters Present Pamphlet On Civil Service In the first section the relation between patronage and political party organization is frankly faced. Miss Knapp is able to show the superiority of principies over patâ€" ronage as a party basis, neatly tyâ€" ing up the argument with the words of "an expert in political organizaâ€" tion," James A. Farley: "I am conâ€" vinced that with the help of a few simple ingredients like time, paâ€" tience, and hard work, 1 could conâ€" struct a major political party in the United States without the aid of a single job to hand out to deâ€" serving partisans." A brief historical survey of the spoils tradition appears in the secâ€" ond section of the pamphlet. There is one civil service system in the federal government, sixteen in the states, and about 700 in the cities which are "good, bad, or indifferent in actual operation. Civil service is at the awkward age in performâ€" ance if not in years." The growing professional and technical requireâ€" ments of government positions outâ€" run the public‘s understanding and emphasizes disagreement among exâ€" perts in regard to methods of seâ€" euring and keeping well qualified people in government service. League experience, according to Miss Knapp, shows that getting "a merit system in fact as well as in name" is most likely when the folâ€" lowing factors are present: "(1) leadership and support from the chief executive, (2) legislation reâ€" quiring merit standards throughout the jurisdiction, (3) comprehensive administrative direction in the perâ€" sonnel ageney, (4) adequate approâ€" priations, (5) support from the public." Producing these five factors siâ€" multaneously in the political picture is an "obstaele race" already enterâ€" ed by the League of Women Voters and other citizens. How the race is rum and won is described with numâ€" erous illustrations in the third seeâ€" tion. How vietory is maintained is the theme of the final chapter on the 1941 l#au_ slative session toward improving the merit system now in tensively in preparatory work for TEKB KIGEHLANXD PALIZE PRES§8 Philanthropy Party To Be Held Aug. 9th At Canmann Home On Friday, August 9th, Mrs. Harry L. Canmann and Mrs. Wilâ€" ford M. Newman are giving a desâ€" sert lunchâ€"musicale in Mrs. Canâ€" mann‘s garden at 1845 Kincaid, Raâ€" vinia, for the benefit of the Council of Jewish Women, Johanna Lodge, the North Shore Sisterhood and other North Shore organizations inâ€" eluding the Red Cross. These orâ€" ganizations are known throughout the Chicago area for their philanâ€" thropic work, their service to the foreign born and the Americanizaâ€" tion of immigrants, their aid to the sightless and deaf, their extensive educational programs and their coâ€" operation in all civic and communal projects. Each North Shore auxilâ€" iary has a quota to raise to help in this program and the musicale is beâ€" ing given with this purpose in view. Aaron Rosen, the child violin virâ€" tuoso, has been procured as artist and will present a program from a wide selective repertoire. Young Rosen, aged 13, has been acclaimed as a wonder child since he was 9 at which time he played in a broadcast with Rubinoff and also assisted Jan: Purce at the Civic Opera House. At the age of 11 he was soloist at the Young Peoples Concert with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Dr. Frederick Stock, who termed him a "wonder child." On July 7th he won an ovation at Grant Park, where he appeared at the bandshell with the Walter Steindel orchestra, After hearing young Rosen‘s perâ€" formance at the opera house Herâ€" man Devries, music critic for the Herald American wrote "The boy made the violin talk with the magic of his uncanny child fingers, his bowing that of any great veteran of the violin producing a large, singâ€" ing beautiful tone, making light double stops and harmonies." Euâ€" gene Stinson of the Daily News wrote of his extraordinary faciliâ€" ties and beautiful tone. In case of rain the party will be held at the North Shore Congregaâ€" tion Israel in Glencoe. Assisting the hostesses will be a large group of women members of the organizations for whose benefit this concert has been arranged: Mms: M. Bein, Leslie Bezark, Berâ€" nard Davis, Henry _Dubin, Mark Goldsmith, I. M. Greenberg, Lionel Haas, D. Joseph, S. Kimi, Mortimer Marder, Joe Michaels Sr., Marc Newman, Clarence Rosenfels, M.
