We saw=considerable of the family through this close association. Reâ€" siding next 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€" Herman Willkie was police judge. Davis served as secretary of labor under Harding and Coolidge‘s adâ€" ministrations. 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 school 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 Early Association With Willkie Family "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. . as we all did (of course summer started in April in Indiana) and it was necessary to cut costs on footâ€" wear. ‘‘Most of the residents of Elwood owned a cow, and being located in 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 &ahyette. 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 I, 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, 911 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 !1 raised in Elâ€" wood. In fact his fatherâ€"inâ€"law, Mr. Williams, was a personal friend and political enemy of the elder Mr. (Continued from page 3) the greenwood of Sherwood Forest, the awesome majesty of the court of King John and the brilliant colâ€" or and spectacle of a knightly tourâ€" nament.

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 necâ€" 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 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 school 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.
