Chicago Centennial Festival Of Religion Staged For October While religious leaders of many countries are facing the greatest erisis in modern times, the Chicago Centennial Festival of Religion is affirming the American democratic ideal under the direction of lay, business and civic leaders of Chiâ€" cagoland. Coming as an answer to enemies of faith, a historical drama of Chiâ€" cago‘s first hundred years showing that the light of religion, like the light of the sun, is the greatest source of creative power, will be preâ€" sented to over a million people in October. Plans for this festival have been developing for nearly a year. A great committee of laymen of all faiths has been organized under the leadership of Judge John P. Mcâ€" Goorty of the Superior Court which, in itself, is regarded as an unique achievement and only possible where the American bill of rights remains unimpaired. _‘ Adolf G.

"An analogy may be drawn beâ€" tween the growth of Chicago toward its ideal and the struggles of the individuals who live within the city. Between the average life and its goal are also intervening forces which set up constant opposition," Judge McGoorty explained. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 1987 " ‘Light of Ages‘ is the story of a city in which the forces of destrucs tign often loomed so powerful that they threatened annihilation and caused many citizens throughout its history to fear that Chicago would never rise again." As a means of visualizing the enâ€" tire pageant before its actual proâ€" duction, a mechanical diorama of the prologue and three acts has been constructed for public demonstraâ€" tion.

Polk said after the . council voted Monday night to award the contract to the Midâ€"west Construction company of Chicago, lowest of 18 bidders. The Midwest bid was $76,275. Some of the bids ran $20,000 higher. Under the present contract the paving will be earried north only as far as Davis street. This will leave a twoâ€"block link between Davis st. and the south terminus of ‘Green Bay road at Clark street unpaved. Paving of this link has been delayed because of uncertainty as to whether or not congress will provide a deficiency appropriation making possible the awarding ‘of contracts and start wif construction work on the city‘s proposed new postoffice at the northwest corner of Davis street and Oak avenue. Motor fuel tax money will be used to cover the cost of the Midwest Construction company‘s work, and because the bid was low more money will be available for the improveâ€" ment of other streets throughout the city, according to Commissionâ€" er Polk. The city council‘s decision to effect a saving of $35,000 to $40,000 in the current budget by eliminating cerâ€" tain street resurfacing work is a step to be regretted, but one that could not be avoided.
