Russell Miller of Shields appealed to the board of supervisors to send Sheriff Thomas E. Kennedy to the FBI reâ€" training school in Washington, D.C., for the week from Sept. 30 to Oct. 5, in the interest of national deâ€" fense. Mrs. James Stannard Baker, 289 Woodland rd., will be the first woman to serve on a Lake county grand jury, in the October grand jury panel approved by the board of supervisors last week. "Industries in and around Wauâ€" kegan, as woll as Great Lakes and Fort Sheridan, are vital factors in our defense program," Miller stated. "It will be of great value to the county if Sheriff Kennedy takes speâ€" cial training to deal with industrial protection, sabotage and espionage." The grand jury panels for Octoâ€" ber, December and March, approved by the board had the names of four women on the three regular panels of 23 each and the three suppleâ€" mental panels of 20 each, There is one woman from Highland Park on each of the three regular panels and one woman on the supplemenâ€" tary panel for March. of Winthrop Harbor, R.

Victory, chairman of the subâ€"committee which will choose the site. ‘"We need accessibility to centers of scientific and technical acâ€" tivity, and certainly, in these reâ€" spects, the Chicago area takes secâ€" ond place to none." Disappointed that the Waukeganâ€" North Chicago area had no site available to meet the requirements, busfness and industrial leaders of the section were happy that the Glenview site received such a high rating by the subâ€"committee. Glenview Approved As Site for Gov‘t. Research Laboratory Glenview was found to fulfill all requirements for the establishment of the government‘s $8,400,000 airâ€" plan engine research laboratory Monday by members of the subâ€" committee on aeronautics. The particular site consists of 100 acres just north of the Curtissâ€" Reynolds airport, which is used as a military base for planes from the Great Lakes naval training station. It is bounded on the south by Wilâ€" low rd., with the North Western railroad tracks running northeast and the Milwaukee railroad tracks running northwest in a huge triâ€" angular section. Victory explained that there are 62 cities competing for the laboraâ€" tory and there wou‘ld be no definite discussion on their relative merits until the committee makes its final report at Washington, D.C., later this month. Glenview site received such a high rating by the subâ€"committee. The Waukegan and North Chiâ€" cago industrialists hope for the labâ€" oratory‘s establishment at Glenview because of its proximity to the Lake county industrial section. Many products in this section would be available for research, they pointed out. The aviation experts were greeted at the site by Lieut. Com. Richard Gaines, commanding the naval reâ€" serve aviation base there, and Com. Knefler McGinnis, aviation aid to the commandant of the Great Lakes with the gladioli display which she loaned to the Deerfield Womâ€" Burroughs, though not a member of the club, contributed the hobby.

It was indicated that if the comâ€" mittee definitely settles on the Glenâ€" view site, the navy will purchase the Curtissâ€"Reynolds airport, as the new laboratory must be located adâ€" joining a publicly owned airfield.
