M A R C H 3 , 1 * 2 Area Veteran Leaders At Memorial Service Governor Thompson signed a Proclamation recently proclaiming Feb. 7 as the date set for the Memorial Service honoring the four Chaplains of World War Two. It was held at Hines hospital. On Feb. 2, 1943, the U.S.S. Dorchester joined in with a convoy in the North Atlantic and set sail for parts unknown.Carrying over 900 troops, officers and crew members, the tragic moment occurred at 1:30 a.m. The U.S.S. Dorchester was torpedoed by a killer submarine of the North . Atlantic pack. The element of surprise and darkness played havoc for all aboard. The U.S.S. Dorchester listing and finally resting on its side, could tell many heroic acts. The most outstanding concerned four chaplains of four denominations, aiding the wounded, young and petrified troops, and giving their own life preservers to help others in need. As the U.S.S. Dorchester began to sink, from a distance, history is told, one could see the four chaplains kneeling together in silent prayer. Some 200 troops and officers were the only survivors that morning. In attendance at his Memorial service, from McHenry, were P.L.A.V. State Commander Ernest Stetz and wife, P.L.A.V. Adjutant and Commander, Liberty Post 188, Frank Ficek, P.L.A.V. Liberty Chapter 188 president, Evelyn Ficek. Hosting this memorial service was the Jewish war veterans. Also in attendance and posting their state colors were the following veteran organizations: Amvets, Catholic War Veterans, Disabled Veterans, Italian American War Veterans, Marine Corps league, Military Order of the Purple If ear t, Navy Club U.S.A., Paralyzed Veterans of America, Veterans of Foreign Wars, United Spanish American War Veterans and Veterans of World War I.

Ineffective managers tend to view conflicts as win or lose situations which means they try to achieve their objec­ tive at the expense of others. BEN ADAMOWSKI Benjamin S.

He was considered one of the top debaters in the legislature, but he split with party regulars in 1937 after he failed to win their backing for the post of speaker. In 1955, running as a foe of organization Democrats, he finished third in the Democratic mayoral primary-an election won by Richard M. Daley. Mr. Adamowski switched parties the next year, making a successful race for state's attorney. Mr. Adamowski ran again for mayor in 1963--as a Hepublican-and gave Daley what many consider to be his toughest re-election battle. He polled more than a half million votes, but lost to the late mayor by a margin of 55 percent to 44 percent. He was born in Chicago Nov. 20, 1906, the son of a Chicago alderman who advised him to stay out of politics.
