Community Service, Inc., as well as the community at large owes the above mentioned persons, as well as the many others who have helped them to do the work, a vote of thanks for the excellent and coâ€" operative way in which they all worked: together and for the fine work which was done. The general contract work was done by Olson & Novd under the personal supervision of Mr. Roy A. Olson. Helping him in this general work were Nels M. Steenhill, who cared for the foundation and maâ€" sonry work; S. C. Rebling, who did the lathing and plastering; Paul Beyers for tile repair work; Arthur Bess for the sanding of floors. The plumbing work in the building was done by the Moran Heating and Plumbing company and the heating by Howard Moran; the painting by John Witten. Light fixtures were furnished by the Lighting Products, Inc., and the Public Service Comâ€" pany of Northern Illinois. Much credit for the planning and supervising of the alterations for the new Community Center goes to architects Raymond W. Flinn and Dana D. Corrough. Many were the hours which they spent preliminary to their work in designing and planning the useful, functional buildâ€" ing that conformed in the main with an Early American pattern. Theirs was the job to take an old and ugly building that has been for many years more or less of an eye sore and to transform it into a spot of beauty that will for years to come cater to the community needs of the city of Highland Park. These architects very efficiently and credâ€" itably did the job. The final touches by the various contractors in remodeling Highland Park‘s old City Hall into a really beautiful and useful Community Center have just been completed. A card party will be held Wedâ€" nesday evening, Aug. 21, for the benefit of the Penelope club. It will be given by Mrs. Bruno Benventi at her home at 458 Jefferson avenue, Glencoe.

The impact drove the light teleâ€" phone truck up on the sidewalk past the large windows in the A. & P. store. Mr. Dunham was taken to the doctor‘s office, suffered no brokâ€" en bones, but bad body bruises. This is Mr. Dunham‘s third escape from death in an automobile. In his first accident he was riding with several men coming from the Glenview Bowling Alleys about 10 years ago, when the car skidded and Herman Frost lost his life. Mr. Dunham reâ€" ceived very serious head injuries and was in the hospital for some time. In the second accident, his truck was cut in two by the Hiaâ€" watha streamlined Milwaukee line train at the Osterman Ave. crossâ€" ing about four yearg ago and he jumped to safety. In this third accident last Wedâ€" nesday, it is reported that the driver of the Olson truck assumed responâ€" sibility of the accident to the local police for failing to see the teleâ€" phone truck. As usual, propular prices will preâ€" yail, and hundreds of :d:l‘iggul seats Are being moved in to maâ€" modate the anticipated overflow crowd. R.

His Lake county victims inâ€" clude Chief Sanooke, Fred Grubâ€" micr; and last week, the heretofore unbeaten Bert Rubi. . In the preliminary matches, "Bad Boy" Brown of Memphis tangles with rough and tough Farmer Mack, while Paul Bozzell of Eagle‘s Beak, Arizona, takes hold with Al "Whitey" Williams, tatooed blonde heavyweight from Fox Lake. Even calloused sport scribes acâ€" customed to the most unacustomed, are writing of the Swedish Angel as the most logical contender for the highly disputed world‘s chamâ€" pionship. Undefeated in more than 18 months of his title campaign, the Angel‘s match with the one and only Jim McMillen is expected to be a real ring classic. in the Libertyville High School gymnasium more than six years ago, will take place Friday night, Aug. 16, in Peg‘s Openâ€"Air Arena at Grayslake, when the Swedish Angel, neanderthalic monstrosity of the mat, pits caveâ€"man brute strength against the ring cunning of one of the sport‘s greatest perâ€" formers, Jim McMillan of Antioch. Fans who watched the noneâ€"tooâ€" angelic Angel tear Fredrich von Schacht, the German giant, down to his own size in his Lake county debut a month ago, are putting odds on the line that their own great favorite, McMillen, will not be able to stick thirty minutes against the mat sport‘s number one horrorâ€"man.
