Five of the eight had capsized and two were beached. A motor boat cruising from Great Lakes to Wilmette fortunately saved all those on four of the capâ€" sized boats. Eight boats manned by Highland Park crews set out Saturday afterâ€" noon in a convoy to Waukegan. When the violent squall came up, five of the boats capsized, Members of the Sea Scout crew, on duty daily during the summer, realizing the plight of the boats, sent out a warnâ€" ing, formed a crew and went out to the rescue of .the distressed boats and their crews. No trace has yet been found: of Mr. Gaizdiks body. Communities along the north shore have been asked to notify the Highland Park police if a body is sighted in the water off any of the towns. A private service for Michael Gaidzik, whose body was found, bound in the ropes of the sailboat, when it was towed to shore, late Saturday afternoon, was held Tuesâ€" day afternoon at 8 o‘clock at Graceâ€" land cemetery.

What the outcome of the strike will be, no one seems to know. Some "authorities" say that the road will never open again, while others are thoroughly convinced it will not go out of existence. In the meantime the tracks are rusting, business is being affected and the road is losâ€" ing heavily each day it is closed. It is hoped that a speedy solution will soon be effected and that the road will return to service again. So far, by constant bickering, no definite action towards a settlement has been made.
