We saw considerable of the family through this close association. Reâ€" siding mnext door to us, as a roomer in our neighbor‘s home, was James J. Davis, senator from Pennsylvaâ€" nit, who at that time served as city clerk. My father as then councilâ€" man from the second ward, and Herman Willkie was police judge. Davis served as secretary of labor under Harding and Coolidge‘s adâ€" ministrations. "Our local high school was on 18th street between Main and A streets. On back of the high school was a field where all of us youngâ€" sters would gather to play the faâ€" miliar games of those early days. Naturally the younger youngsters tagged along, and many times Wenâ€" dell Willkie was allowed to enter into our games. He was just the average boy, who left for sehool with a shining face in the early morning, only to be covered with dirt a short time later. Yes, he went barefooted in the summer, just as we all did (of course summer started in April in Indiana) and it was necessary to cut costs on footâ€" wear. "The Willkie family lived in a large, square, rather pretentious white house with a big porch across the front; a stolid, solid building without the gingerbread of the 90‘s. "Inside it seemed just a little barâ€" ren, for Wendell‘s father, Herman Willkie, had a prosperous legal busâ€" iness and Mrs. Willkie, a brilliant woman and Indiana‘s first feminine lawyer, was engrossed in working at his side in the office. An enorâ€" mous fireplace, which the Wilkie‘s used a lot, contributed cheer to the home. "Most of the residents of Elwood owned a cow, and being located fn} the city, the cows had to be pasâ€" tured on the outskirts. It was an. uncommon sight to see the cows led down Anderson street to Duck Creek along which was located the pasâ€" ture. It was in this pasture that the Willkie‘s and Pertz‘ kept their cows, and it was in this cow pasture that the reception was held for Mr. Willkie when he gave his acceptance speech a few weeks ago. It is a long time since I have been in Elâ€" wood," said Mr. Pertz, "in fact, our family moved from there in 1904, settling in Lafayette, Ind. I reâ€" member the Willkie family well, and can recall that they held the esâ€" teem of all the residents of that community. Wendell had to strugâ€" gle for an existence, just as you and T, and I am sure with his backâ€" ground, he should make a good leadâ€" er. I regret that I was not present when he gave his acceptance speech, but I have sent my congratulations and good wishes to him, and have already had a letter in return thanking me for my interest." Another Highland Park resident who knew the Willkie family when they lived in Elwood is Edgar Ball, 941 Ridgewood drive. At the presâ€" ent time Mr. Ball is working with the Illinois Republican Finance Committee in Chicago. Mr. Lester Ball, Edgar‘s brother, who was a former Highland Park resident, now of Evanston, sat on the speakers‘ platform in Elwood when Mr. Willâ€" kie delivered his acceptance speech. Lester Ball was accompanied by his wife, his fatherâ€"inâ€"law, and sisterâ€" inâ€"law who werea I1 raised in Elâ€" wood. In fact his fatherâ€"inâ€"law, Mr. Williams, was a personal friend and political enemy of the elder Mr. Willkie.

"Robin Hood" To _ Be Presented Oct. 11 At High School «Continued from Page 1) tion the southeast corner of Central and First would be designated as the official stand. To supplement this stand, the west side of St. Johns avenue, north of Central aveâ€" nue would also be made available for parking the cabs. Chief Andrews stated that to preâ€" vent the cab parking space west of the tracks from becoming a mud hole in wet weather it would be neeâ€" essary to improve its surface with gravel. In line with this thought the council gave the Department of Streets permission to proceed with this improvement. The subject of increasing the tax levy to provide much needed funds to expand the police department was brought up for discussion. Corâ€" poration Counsel McKenna was inâ€" structed to look into the legal asâ€" pects of submitting this proposal to the electorate at the general elecâ€" tions to be held in November. It is understood that notice of such an additional levy must be publicly posted forty days before the issue is presented to the public for its deâ€" cision at the polls. Corporation Counsel McKenna stated he would have his. report ready by Wednesday for action by the council at that time. In order to pass on this subject before the expiration of the forty day deadâ€" line, the council voted to adjourn until 5:45 p.m. Wednesday at which time the matter will again be brought up, After adjournment, Commissioner Sharp put in an eloquent plea for attendance and support of the Highland Park Young Mens club boxing show scheduled for the high sehool auditorium on October 4th. Your reporter adds his plea to that of Commissioner Sharp for support of this very well worth while enterâ€" prise, details of which appear elseâ€" where in this newspaper. A building permit was issued this week at the Deerfield Village Hall to William G. Brown of Glen Ellyn for a one and oneâ€"half story frame residence to cost $13,800 on Brierâ€" hill road. Miss Olive Frantz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Milton A. Frantz, has returned to North Central College at Naperville, where she is taking postâ€"graduate work in addition to her duties as assistant registrar and instructor in typing and shortâ€" Robert Page Jr. made his second parachute jump at the Curtiss airâ€" port in Glenview on Sunday. It was an exhibition event. Miss Dorothy Wessling, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Wessling, 607 Deerfield road, has enrolled at North Central College at Naperville, Ill.

Guests entered enthusiastically inâ€" to the spirit of the occasion, parâ€" ticipating in bridge, old time games and story telling. Climax of the fesâ€" tivities came well after midnight when Len and May (the Larsens), dressed as bride and bridegroom, were the principals of a comedy shotgun wedding. Refreshments were served at midnight, consisting of many homeâ€" made delicacies, reinforced by oldâ€" fashioned "roasting ears" and "hot dogs" cooked on an openâ€"air barbeâ€" cue. Mr. and Mrs. Larsen, as newâ€" comers to Highland Park, have earned wide popularity through their frequent and generous hosâ€" pitality.

Pershing, Herbert Hoover, Kaiser Wilbelm, Newton D. Baker, and young Franklin Roosevelt. Many historic scenes in this first fallâ€" length feature picture of The March of Time have never before been seen on U.S. movie screens.
