Although the defeat at the hands of Proviso on December 21 by a score of 26-15 still somewhat rankles in their memory, the Gray and Green heavyweights are pre- paring with undimmed confidence for the invasion of the Maywood five and 847 Center Street William L.

The lightweights, on the other hand, have no such memories, having destroyed the aspirations of the May- wood feather-five toward doubling the victory and having literally and figur- atively "carried home the bacon" to the tune of 33-8. For that reason they enter the conflict next Saturday decidedly the favorites and with every expectation of doubling their winnings over Proviso.

It also marks the termination of his career as a policeman, and his retire- ment, after twenty-eight years of faith- ful service as an officer, throughout which he has enjoyed the happy as- sociations of scores of fellow officers and the confidence and high esteem of the public, all of which have been fully merited by his own individual conduct and close application to duty. Retires on Pension Officer Dehmlow is now seventy years of age and retires on pension. Chief, W. M. Peterson, an- nounced today there will be no formal farewell to their veteran friend and officer, but something of this nature is contemplated a little later, following the close of the holiday season. John Dehmlow leaves the service with the well wishes of every member of the village family going with him. Officer Dehmlow has been a resident of Winnetka 33 years. For thirty of those years he has been in the employ of the village, being associated with the street department prior to joining the police force. For several years John Dehmlow has endeared himself to the children of Horace Mann school, at Elm and Chestnut streets, where, with faithful vigilance each morning, noon and eve- ning of school days, he guarded the little tots from harm as they passed this busy corner to and from school. His services, in late years, particular- ly, have also been of inestimable value to the department in his courteous, but efficient work in directing automobile parking regulations of the village. Sticks to His Bike Police cars and motorcycles have been added to the department equip- ment during John Dehmlow's connec- tion therewith, but he has remained faithful to his bicycle, on which he traveled about on his varied duties. Mr. and Mrs. Dehmlow reside at 892 Elm street. Their son, Walter Dehm- low, conducts the Winnetka Bruns- wick shop at 570 Lincoln avenue; Charles, another son, formerly with the Winnetka postoffice, also resides in Winnetka, as does their daughter, Mrs. John Dethloff, whose husband conducts a men's furnishings store at 786 Elm street. A third son, Edward, resides in Highland Park. Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Ball opened their home in Indian Hill on Monday, December 26, to greet Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Foresman, who returned last week from a three months' trip to Europe. Miss Patty Foresman, who accompanied her parents on this trip, will remain in Paris until spring. | HAT SALE T hursday, January 5th All Velvets to close $3 All Felts to close $2.50 and $4.50 Spurlock Hat Shop 557 LINCOLN AVE.
