Woodstock Lions Club and gave a very interesting account of how he managed to start such a strip and the various details of how the characters were born in his mind. Mr. Gould at present resides in a beautiful country home located in the scenic Bull Valley, west of McHenry. Although his home is located in the farming community he does not in any way pretend to be a farmer telling the Lions Club members that as a fai"nier he makes a rather good cartoonist, He has made his home here for several years. The author of this now nationally known strip makes daily trips to Chicago, but it is said considerable of his drawings ar^ made at his homa iifeihe I'liet and peaceful valley. Started Strip in 1931 Mr. Gould likes his'work. He devotes much of his time to it and tries to make it educational in its line and that is war on gangsters and criminals of all kinds. He has the support ^of the police and he lives the part of his leading character, Tracy, in solving the various crimes his strip portrays. As to entering this field Mr. Gould said the way is open but the road is hard and long, because there are hundreds of artists trying to make the grade. He did say, however, that once you made the grade in this line of vvork it becomes an interesting profes-^ sion and one successful financially*. Likes Woodstock Mr1. Gould likes this territory and its people. He has visited the Woodstock schools several times. Hie loves all the trimmings in the way of new gangster methods and detective ideas might take the public's eye, so he made up some of these strips j using Tracy as the main character and calling him Plain Clothesman Tracy.

This lyre tree stands in a farm-yard grove of oaken and other monarchs. No one seems to know how long it has been standing there, but the place was a farm 'way back in 1844. Anyway folks who've slept on what was once known as Willow Lawn, but now is called by the Scotch as Bonnie Burn, aver that the're wont to lay awake and list to the music of the trees. ' And all this sends our mind to an Ohio camp-meeting ground, located 'twixt two wooded mountains and named Hollow Rock, where a well known singing Methodist, Henry Yeagley by name, declared that "Every tree warbled the praise of God." And we're thinking of the hymnologist, Charles Wesley, who called, "Oh for a thousand tongues to sing our great Redeemer's praise." We're wondering if he didn't include the voices of the trees, the lyre to play a joyful accompaniment.--J. L.

In the meantime his family and friends around his office rather called him a little "crazy" to think that a strip with gangsters, detective and real guns would ever make the grade. However, in August of the same year, he got a CP.I1 to the main office and he learned that his strip had merit. Ihe name was changed somewhat. Tracy was used because it represented his ideas of tracing criminals. Dick came about because Plain Clothesman was too long and Diek is a nickname for a "cop." So the strip became Dick Tracy. Ail that remained for Gould to do wa* to supply the ideas, keep step with the fast growing cartoon craze. This meant much hard work and study. I; meant connections with the police department, the crime prevention bureau, the bureau headed by Edgar Hoover, the big G-Man and in fact a irctty wide knowledge of the field of crime in general. Ideaa From News This, Mr. Gould did. He explained that he secured many of his ideas fruin t ews stories in the daily papers o' cr.me. Hie followed closely the solving of crimes by the police and carried many of these ideas into his strip.

That is "Auto Show" week, when the new models, that will grace our highways the next twelve months, are formally announced. A great many of us buy cars at this time, but a far greater number buy during the next twelve months. But. nevertheless, opinions are formed Which often influence us many months hence. ; We are fortunate in having for the owner of ^draf a man Who has attended "Chicago Auto Shows" for twenty-eight successive years--so, being an old firm, we are going to oner a little advice. First -- Do not be prejudiced toward'any one car, but look at all With an open mind. Second -- Judge them for their mechanical features, their comfort, their economy^, their resale value, their appearance and their durability. Third -- Investigate the companiee that manufacture them *> Look at their past records. - \ ' •• A.. Fourth -- Check delivered prices and what equipment it includes. How much you really get for your money depends upon your judgment, may be that the cheapest might prove the most expensive. And last, but not least, BE SURE to take a thorough demonsttfa* tion in any car before you pass judgment After all, that is the place Where you will be -- Behind the wheel And then, when you come to close a deal, check the dealer's record and his past performances for being a good dealer.
