Harvard's most prominent resident in the national limelight, Mrs. Elizabeth Dilling, crashed the front pages of daily papers throughout--the country Monday, February 17, when she was taken into custody in the capitol at Washington and charged with disorderly conduct. Mrs. Dilling, who spends the summer months on her farm on route 23, just south of Harvard, author of "The Red Network," was arrested after she and her secretary had protested aloud in the corridors of the capitol against passage of the "aid Britain" bill.

MARSHALL McCANNON FLIES ACROSS COUNTRY IN BOMBER; MARRIES If we've ever heard of a "high flyer," it's Marshall McCannon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe McCannon/ of Ringwood, who recently made two coast to coast trips. He is completing the second one now--on his honeymoon. McCannon, who was graduated from the McHenry Community High school in 1934, spent fifteen months at Parks Air college at East St. Louis, 111., after his graduation. He then received a position as a mechanic in the Consolidated Aircraft corporation, San Diego, Calif., where he has worked for the past five years. Now that corporation is putting out bombers which it is shipping to &igland On Sunday, February 16, McCannon was assigned head mechanic on one fo these, the "B-24," which took off on a non-stop fight for New York City. The trip took ten hours. McCannon spent almost a week in the latter city, then, working on the bomber. Last Saturday he boarded another plane which was headed for Norfolk, Vs., where he had worked for six months in the latter part of 1939 and the early part of 1940. The purpose of the trip was to seek ot Miss Virginia Hutchenson, whom he had not seen since May of last year. Together they sought out a preacher and were married that very day. The two then left on a hurried trip to New York City where McCannon was scehduled to join the crew on a short hop to Montreal, Canada. He left his bride in a hotel room for about twelve hours. The bomber then left for England without McCannon. Had he gone he probably would have had to remain until the end of the war. Ufron his return to his wife, the two gathered up their belongings and took a fain to Detroit, Mich., via Canada. J At Detroit they purchased a new auto- J mobile and drove to Ringwood, 111., to visit his parents. The coup'e arrived Tuesday evening pnd wprp greeted by a small group of relatives.

TO PROBE ROBBERIES AS GRAND JURY GOES ON DUTY FEBRUARY 28 MAYOR OVERTON AND CLERK WALSH SEEK RE-ELECTION APRIL 15 IS DATE FOR CITY ELECTION Election of city officials wiQ be held on April 15 of this year at which time the mayor, three aldermen, clerk, treasurer and police magistrate will be named for a four year term. Under the present election system all terms are for four years, bat a system of designating one alderman from each ward to serve a two-year term was instigated in the year 1937. Thus, at no time does an entire city council complete terms of office in the same year. The idea of the plan, as drawn up by the state legislature, is to make certain that some experienced officials are at all times serving their municipalities. It is expected that most of those members whose terms expire will seek re-election. Mayor Overton, who has successfully served one term as mayor after long service to the city as an alderman, will be a candidate for re-election. The present city clerk. Earl R. Walsh, who is completing his first term of office, registered his intentions to seek re-election. The three aldermen whose terms expire are Joserph M. Regner of the first ward, A. E. Nye of the second ward and George P. Freund of the third ward. TTiose men have filled their positions in able fashion and have been urged to continue. Since the city treasurer cannot succeed himself, under the state law, the present encumbent Robert L. Weber, will not be a candidate at the coming election. The office of Police Magistrate is held at the present time by Left Meyer, but it is reported that he will not seek the office for the next term. Since opposition tickets have not been filed up to the present time, activity in city political circles has been very quiet *. •: ; -v? File for Town Election Petitions have been filed for spring Y6wn election in McHenry township, but there seems to be no opposition this year. Those who have filed with the clerk are as follow*: Town Clerk--Robert J. Conway. Justices of the Peace --.Albert Krause, Sibre D. Whiting and Arnold Anderson. Constables -- Frank C. 'Meyer Louis Schroeder.« Assessor--Jos. N. Schmitt. Mr. Conway was appointed to fill out the term of the late Miehael J. Walsh and he now seeks election for the full four-year term. Arnold Anderson desires to fill the office of justice of the p->ace, which is vacant at the present time, due to the death of Eber E. Bassett. So, it looks like a very tame to^Ti election on Tuesday. April 1, 1941, unless there is a movement started to write in some names on the ballots. The deadline for withdrawals is March 3. £ ?! .
