An attempt was made in 1927, by some neweomers in Deerfield, who objected to having a cemetery in the village, to prove that the deed for the cemetery was not recorded in Waukegan, in order to have a park made of the cemetery, and the bodies removed. However it was found that the deed was recorded. No further attempts have been made to move the cemetery from the vilâ€" lage. There are no lots for sale in this little cemetery, as all were bought up years ago. The dzd Highland Park owns lot 20 in Deerfleld cemetery, for which it paid $5 on July 7, 1870.

Some courts, in the same states, state that liquor was involved in even a higher per cent of accidents. Therefore, police estimates, legal definitions, and court interpretations of the terms "intoxication" and "unâ€" der the influence," are so variable that it is impossible to obtain definâ€" ite figures.

Hand Writing Expert In Lindberg Case Speaks in Deerfield SAFETYGRAMS Washington, D. C., Jan. 20â€"Conâ€" gress is becoming economy minded. That should be encouraging word to the taxpayers of the United States and to any one at all interâ€" ested in the continued solvency of the country. | Perhaps, however, the statement as to the existing economy interest on the part of national legislators is a bit premature. No one approâ€" priation bill has yet reached final enactment, and there are a number of appropriation bills yet to be reâ€" ported by the House committee. What will be done in the Senate and what the entire record of money apâ€" propriated will show when the sesâ€" sion concludes, we do not know. Nonetheless, there are certain enâ€" couraging signs. _ â€" The Emergency Supplemental Apâ€" propriation Bill for the fiscal year ending 1940 was reported by the House committee on appropriations with a reduction of $4,801,615 less than the budget estimates. The Inâ€" dependent Offices Appropriation Bill for the fiscal year ending 1941 was reported by the committee with $43,â€" 492,166 under the budget estimates for the Executive Office and Indeâ€" pendent Establishments. It is a small beginning toward economy, to be sure, considering the size of the entire budget. But a beâ€" ginning must be made sometime, somehow and somewhere. The govâ€" ernment cannot forever spend more than it receives. According to the President‘s bud-l get estimates, on June 30, 1940, the national debt will reach $44,458,000,â€" 000. The limit under existing law is $45 billion. For political reason the Democratic members of Congress would like to avoid having to raise the legal limit by an outâ€"andâ€"out vote on the issue. If a Democratic member votes against a bill to raise the amount of public debt allowed by law, he will be accused by his own party of deserting it. If, on the other hand, he should vote for such a bill, he is certain that his Republican opponent will seize upon that vote as an issue to bring beâ€" fore the people. And so, the majorâ€" ity strategists are anxious to avoid the issue, particularly in an election year. fact remains the money is borrowed, and the Government is obliged to make it good as guarsntor or inâ€" dorser of the loan. There is thus a formidable volume of "hidden labilitics" which the By Raiph E. Church Representative, 10th Congressional There is one phase of government lending and spending with which the people generally are not sufficâ€" iently familiar. I refer to the extenâ€" sive use of the "corporate device" in carrying out extepsive spendingâ€" lending policies and at the same time escape the public debt limitaâ€" tion. It is used to obtain greater freedom in financial matters. The use of the "corporation" as a govâ€" ernmental agency removes the necâ€" essity for large annual appropriaâ€" tions by Congress to the agency and also eliminates the ordinary check on expenditures by the Comptroller General. Bonds issued by the Federal corâ€" porstions, guaranteed as to prineiâ€" pal and interest by the Treasury, are just as much an obligation of the people and a national debt as bonds issued by the Treasury itself. The fact that one is "indireet" and the other "direct" doesn‘t lessen the government‘s obligation and burden on the people. Whether the Governâ€" ment finances its spending through the Treasury itself or through "arâ€" tificial treasuries" in the form of Since March of 1933 the Adminisâ€" tration has created from time to time more than 20 Governmentâ€"ownâ€" ed or Governmentâ€"chartered corporâ€" ations. Some have been short lived. Others continue to exist with enlargâ€" ed functions. Some have been estabâ€" lished by direct legislative acts, and others simpy by executive orders. Some of these corporations were orâ€" ganized, as a private corporation would be, under the laws of the Disâ€" triet of Columbia. Others have charters from the State of Delaâ€" ware. These Federal corporations have the power to borrow as much as $14,127,000,000 by the issuance of their own securities, guaranteed as to interest and principal by the Treasury. As of October 31, 1939, the amount of such corporate securiâ€" ties outstanding was $5,831,000,000. But the important point is that this indebtedness, notwithstanding the faet that payment is guaranteed by the Treasury itself, is not reflected in the public debt. _ â€" is Web , is of La‘inglon "Kind Lady" to Be Presented, Feb. 16 When the curtain rises on "Kind Lady" on February 16, the audience will witness the second presentation of the fourth season of the Stagers, Deerfield Dramatic club. The cast will include a majority of seasoned Stagers players, together with a Introduce Cast of sprinkling of newcomers. Marion Hyett, who plays a generâ€" ous middleâ€"aged woman, will be reâ€" membered by followers of the Stagâ€" ers for her work in "Crabapple" and particularly for her dramatic death in the "Ninth Guest" and her fareâ€" well to her son in "Men Must Fight." Her role in this play will give her ample opportunity to use once more the dramatic powers exâ€" hibited in these other plays. Aubrey Gould, who portrays a charming young crook, appeared first last winter in "Candlelight" as a bewildered valet, followed by the roles of a young artist in "The Enâ€" chanted April," and a manâ€"aboutâ€" town in "The Last Warning." Perâ€" haps his best remembered scene is the one in which he was discovered to be the murderer in the last play. Jack Covington, who plays a deâ€" lightful young American in this play, also made his first appearance in "Candlelight" as an Austrian prince. This was followed by the chrochety, middleâ€"aged Englishman in "The Enchanted April," and a stage hand in "The Last Warning." He will be best remembered for his bath scene in "The Enchanted April," one of the funniest scenes ever witmessed by Deerfleld audiâ€" ences. His role in this play again gives him opportunity for his comic ability. above, has appeared in "The Ninth Guest," "Three â€" Cornered Moon," "Mrs, Bumpstead Leigh," and "The Enchanted _ April." _ Particularly good was her illâ€"placed romanticism in the devoted wife of the lastâ€" Kathleen Galloway appeared in a small part, delightfully played in "Mrs. Bumpstead Leigh," followed this fall by a role which drew many a laugh, that of a Burlesque Queen in "The Last Warning." "Candlelight." Geneva Ritter, the cockney wife of the casual cockney mentioned "The fear in the hearts of all mothers and fathers, that their chilâ€" dren may be stricken with this dread disease, compels them all to seek an opportunity to contribute to this worthy cause." Lois Clark, who comes forth in this play as a very simpleminded young woman, has also played sevâ€" eral other parts, noteably the arisâ€" tocratic old lady in "Mrs. Bumpâ€" stead Leigh," as well as parts in "A Murder Has Been Arranged" and named play. Jirah Cole has appeared notably in "A Murder Has Been Arranged," "Mrs. Bumpstesd Leigh," "Crabâ€" apple," "The Bat," and "Men Must Fight." His return will be welcomed by many. Anthony Mercurio, who made howling comedy by speaking a lanâ€" guage which no one understood, and getting away with it, in "Enchanted April" again appears as a foreigner, though with only an accent this time. field issued the following: "Our community will no doubt rise to its opportunity and contribâ€" ute its quota, as will every other community in this nation, solidly united in the fight against infanâ€" tile paralysis. . _ s Jim Tibbetts, who appears in this play as a casual cockney, will be remembered for his role of director in "The Last Warning." His outâ€" standing characteristic in that play, too, was his casuainess which apâ€" proached casualty in the second act rehearsal scene. James Russell appeared in "Mrs. Bumpstead Leigh." Doris Hunter played the secretary in "The Last Warning." Adelaide Alexander and Janice Galloway are appearing for the first time.
