Howard Sims Sails for Home on Part of the next day I spent reâ€" newing friendships with those kind persons around the Daily Illini ofâ€" fices who were so patient with this blundering exâ€"GI editor when he was attempting to edit Chanute Field‘s WINGS. To dinner with the Schwartzs at the beautifu} Illini Union building. This magnificent structure reâ€" minds me of Virginia‘s Williamsâ€" burg Inn, particularly the dining quarters, The Colonial Room, where the waitresses are pleasant and so willing to help . . . Later that night we saw Ingrid Bergman in Spellbound. It was an excellent film, far superior to the Academy award winning, The Lost Weekend. THANKS ILLINI PERSONNEL ... Wishing to combine a businessâ€" pleasure trip to southern Illinbis I spent a few days in these pleasâ€" ant twin cities where the Universâ€" ity of lllinois rests. ies En route here I picked up: a hitchâ€"hiking sailor who was on his last leave prior to discharge. He was â€"a happy young man. _ But he certainly was concerned about the Nation‘s reconversion pains and its baffling foreign policy. SAILOR SPEAKS ‘ When we left Chicago it was foggy and rainy. ‘We were greetâ€" ed here by sunshine, topâ€"down weather, bursting‘ buds, and the carefreeness that exists in a colâ€" lege town â€" particularly when it‘s tournament headquarters for Illiâ€" poh' best high school wfl teams. After â€" haughty, â€" sophisticated, pushy New York it.was good to see naturalâ€"acting folk and peppy high school and, college youths with their boundless energy. They weren‘t concerned about what Churchill was saying â€" or "official Russia"; or what was hapâ€" pening in Manchuria; or how near the ‘Reds were to Iran. Rather, these . pantsâ€"rolledâ€"up and sweater â€" and â€" skirt â€" and â€" bobby socks girls were only interâ€" ested in whether their team was going to win that day. . ; Dolores, or Del â€" who ‘reminds me of Highland Park‘s and Hollyâ€" wood‘s Mrs. James Aubrey Jr., or the former Phyllis Thaxter â€" was my gayâ€" weekend parther_and .we had jots of fun. £ * Schwartzes, a genial and gracious family with a sweetâ€"daughter, Doâ€" I wish those fellows in Washingâ€" ton would put America‘s in":uu first," the sailor said. _ _ BOUNDLESS ENERGY ... ‘ It is indeed refreshing to be:in such an atmosphere. LIKE WILLIAMSBURG s INN ... 50. tm Needless to say, I "did more pleasure" than I did business! He told me he had one degree and ‘added: "I think T‘ll go back and get my master‘s. It‘ll be a good way to pass time while Uncle Sam is ridding the country of unâ€" certainties and organizations with ‘isms‘ tacked on to their names. And here‘s a printed thanks to Champaignâ€"Urbana, ILâ€" WHLT T N. SCGHUL T L Let‘s Take a Look (Apecial to The Highland Park Press) of Champaign Weekend By "Building is an inspiring profesâ€" sion," kindly Mr. Schwarts said. "When you build something as posâ€" tive and as important as a school, or a church, or a home, there are tremendous mental and spiritual rewards and a warm feeling of acâ€" complishment," he added . . . BUILDS BIG SCHOOL . . . Mr. Schwartz told me that one of his greatest building . thrills came when he was awarded the contract to construct a $300,000 school. Later that morning we went to early Communion service at the small, but beautiful Champaign Episcopal church. And the hours pass swiftly. And there is business to attend to in Chicago. . And so a lingering goodâ€" bye to the Schwartzs, and to Mrs. Gross, my weekend "landlord" . . . And now for the 150 mile drive back to Highland Park . . . This column‘s customers â€" are urged to pass their eyes five colâ€" umns to the right for "Deeps and Shallows," a neverâ€"ending source of witty, clever, â€" tightlyâ€"written pieces carefully edited by Mrs. Lester Olson, a very poetic grandâ€" ma, by the way. _Also may we suggest that you drop your sights on Alexander Mcâ€" Pherson‘s new "Corn On The Cob" column â€" a sprightlyâ€"written pilâ€" lar of type. I like this service best of all for early in theâ€" morning, somehow, one feels closer to God â€" and that‘s a good feeling . ... SUGGESTIONS ... Edward A.

He plans to resume his studies at Purdue university, which were interrupted by his induction into It was also good to hear, off in the distance, the lightâ€"hearted voices of Del‘s "sisters" as they greeted their "dates." The following morning I had a: pleasant chat with Mr. Schwartz, a well known.twin cities contractor who has built scores of homes, schools and churches in Illinois.â€"â€" and Mrs. Edward Smith, 318 Raâ€" vine, was released from service in the navy last week after spending 2% years as torpedoman with a task force in the Pacific.

POPULAR TRI DELTAS ... Because the Tri Deltas are so popular, I was only able to meet one, Del‘s "mom," peppy, pretty Betty Whalen. And we just caught her between dates with goodâ€"lookâ€" ing Joe Colleges. O, yes, and that day, too, while Del was attending to her numerous campus and Tri Delta sorority acâ€" tivities, I called upon some twin city merchants, some of whom blessed this novice salesman with orders. In the afternoon we saw Spiral Staircase. â€" It, too, is an entertainâ€" ing movie â€" if you like ‘em scary. â€" That evening was quietly enâ€" joyed in the attractively decoratâ€" ed parlors of the Tri Delta house.
