' LIFE ON THE BAY by Dorothy Davis Pistakee Yacht club started off the Fourth in the usual manner, by sailing for the Hertz trophy. In 1906, Henry I. Hertz won this silver trophy in a Chicago Yacht club race and since that time it has been passed down to each winner of the July 4 rate. This Independence Day was a very calm day, with hardly any wind, but nevertheless, many of the sailors sailed a beautiful race. Jack Deroche, skippering Y-3, came in first with Y-9, Eric Theis coming in second, while Bill Fletcher, Y-88, came in third. Saturday afternoon was also a drifter, so many of the sailors thought that the wind was going to die down and turned back, but those that continued found that the wind picked up toward the end of the race and made the time limit of two and a half hours. Ray Olson, with Y-9, came in first, Frank Waters, Y-l, came in second, and Bob Mraz, Y-77, finished third. Sunday was a Very good day for sailing, with a medium heavy wind behind us. Unfortunately it was a little strong in spots so two boats capsized. During the race there was a mishap at one of the buoys so four more boats were disqualified. Nevertheless, Jack Deroche gained greatly in the race and came in with another first for the weekend. The Pomeirski brothers registered a second in Y-13, while Dave Bell, skippering Y-88, caw 5 fn third. Dance and Dinner Saturday night many of the' members went to the club for a delicious charcoal sirlion steak dinner with all the trimmings. After dinner, from 9 o'clock until 1 o'clock, every bod) ^anced to the P.Y.C. band. All seeraed to be celebrating the Fourth in a bang-up way. The chairmen for the evening were Mr. and Mrs. John Looze. Goosip Walter Deroche, commodore of the Yacht club, suffered from a heart attack a week ago and is in the hospital at Lake Forest. He has been in an oxygen tent for the past week, but is now out and on the road to recovery. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Ericsson and their daughter, Carol, are returning home from their trip to Europe the middle of July. They have been touring France, Switzerland, England, Sweden and many other countries. Bob Lunkenheimer has been home on furlougri from the Army for the past two weeks before going to the Far East. Everyone is very happy to have him home, although he will have to leave at the end of this week.

MIGHTY ATLAS AND VERNE GAGNE HEAD FRIDAY MAT SHOW Chili with meat. Are you bringing guests home with you for the weekend? You are -planning a grand dinner for Sunday, but what to do about Saturday supper. You are probably going out or having guests later 4hd don't want a heavy supper. And most of all, you don't want to start fussing in the kitchen the minute you or your guests put your foot in the door. You want to have time' to show them around a bit and relax yourself. Well, this is the time to have chili ready to re-heat and serve. This can be completely prepared the night before. 2 cans red kidney beans. 1% lb. ground round steak " i 1 tsp. chili powder l can tomato soup, salt and pepper 1 No. 2 can of tomatoes, 2 tbsp. butter. Fry meat in butter until light brown. Add tomatoes and tomato soup. Add seasoning and chili powder. Cook until all well blended and tomatoes almost disappear. About one-half hour should be enough. Stir every few minutes to blend well and cut up tomatoes. Finally, add kidney beans. If mixture seems "soupy," drain the beans before adding. If still too thin, mix 1 tablespoon flour with cold water until smooth, mix with some of the bean liquor and add to chili. Cook few minutes longer until beans have become well blended with rest of mixture. Serve at once or cool and place in refrigerator until wanted. Then re-heat slowly in sauce pan or double boiler if you are too busy to tend to it. A salad and either crisp crackers with plenty of butter or heated rolls make this a quick and easy-to-serve meal. This chili should be served in small bowls or large cereal dishes as it has too much liquid to look appetizing on plates, but place the bowls on dinner plate and eat with dessert- size spoon. Secretary of State Edward Barrett has called attention The Mighty Atlas, rated the most powerful wrestler in the game and Verns Gagne, highly regarded heavyweight challenger will cla&h in Fred Kohler's sixty minute main event Friday night, July 11th at the Lake County Stadium in Round Lake Park, Illinois. The Gagne-Atlas bout is to a two out of three fall verdict with a sixty minute time limit. Friday's clash should resolve itself into a battle between Gagne's sleeper hold and the Atlas nelson as us<ed by the California grappler. Many arguments have arisen as to whether Verne's sleeper hold is legal. Some wrestler's claim it is a strangle hold, however the referees have decreed that it is okay. The Mighty Atlas in clamping on hie 'Atlas Nelson' sometimes DOGS AREN'T FOR ALL LITTLE BOYS. SURVEY REVEALED truck owners to the fact that the new licensing law discontinued ^locks his fingers with such terri- ^•-^weeks IDENTIFY BODY A search was being conducted this past week for known members of a Chicago hijacking mob for questioning in the slaying of an ex-convict, Robert Paglia^ 26, of Chicago, whose bullet riddled body was found last week Wednesday in a ditch near Dundee and Algonquin. The identity of Paglia was made through fingerprints. The dead man is said to have been under indictment in Chicago on a hijacking charge. Alley Problems Steelmakers have long known that boron alloy is exceedingly hard, but its brittleness and tendency to corrode limited its use while other alloying materials were readily available. the old mileage classification and asked owners registered under that plan to discontinue sending mileage reports to his office. Under the new law, Secretary Barrett said, mileage tax holders are required to apply for new 1952 licenses under a straight weight classification. They are also required to pay the weight classification fee, less the amount already paid on the mileage basis, he said. In applying for the new licensc, owners must use the same* or a higher weight classification as the one issued under the mileage plan. Secretary Barrett pointed out. Any attempt to classify a truck under a lower weight group cannot be accepted, he said. . A schedule of the differences in fees for present mileage tax registrants is being prepared and will be mailed to all such registrants in a few days, he said. fic force that when he clamps the hold on a foe, the referee must release the fingers. The hold can be dangerous to an opponent if it is not released in time. Gagne scoffs at the grip and states he will clamp his sleeper hold on 'Atlas' before the latter can get a chance to use the nelson on him. Both wrestlers are after a match with Champion Lou Thesz and it semg likely that the victor will meet Lou before the summer season ends. This mean» that Friday's bout takes on added importance. Friedrich Von Schacht, the ponderous Florida heavyweight enters the Round Lake picture when he meets the clever Joe Millich, of St .Louis in the semi-windup. Von Schacht has a bad temper and with Millich executing his famed turtle ho! 1, it is likely that the German giappler will go into tantrum ®. v Most little boys will be disappointed and most landlords delighted to learn of the results of a survey in which 358 child psychologists were asked whether or not they thought every little boy should have a dog. Among thie - psychologists queried, in the nationwide survey made by the parents' consultation service of The Book House For Children, 209, or more than 58 per cent, indicated they were not entirely in sympathy with the popular idea that "every boy should have a dog". While a number of them felt that "every little boy and girl should have a pet of some kind" they did not necessarily feel that it should be a dog. More than a score of the experts queried observed that "some little boys do not care for dogs and therfore would not even want one". Three mentioned the problem of little boys who are (physically) allergic to dogs. A conspicuous number of the respondents .even among the 34 per cent who generally favored the ownership of dogs by small boys, pointed out that "most apartment dwellings are not suitable for dogs and for that reason children living in them should not be permitted to have dogs as pets". One psychologist added suc- ,cinetly: "Unless, of course, you want the. poor dog to lead a dog's life". "Adam to Atom", a spectacular musical production of the world's engineering achievements will be presented daily at the Museum of Science and Industry starting July 12. The show, produced and directed by Helen Tieken Geraghty, who also did the shows for the 1933 World's Fair and the more recent Railroad Fair, will be given in the MQseum's theater each weekday at 2:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays at 2:30; 4:30 and 8 p.m. The fast moving, hour and a half show will present twentyseven scenes from the days of the caveman and man's first use of fire to the modern atomic laboratory. Some of the scenes are devoted to huge building projects in the history of engineering, such as the pyramids, the Appian way and the Panama Canal. Others will be devoted to the great men of history and their inventions such as Guteniberg and the printing press, Watt and the steam engine, Howe and the sewingmachine, Bell and the telephone, Edison and the phonograph and Ford and the automobile. A cast of forty actors and dancers and a wardrobe of more than 300 costumes will be involved in the dramatic spectacle produced as part of the Centennial of Engineering anniversary now being celebrated. The stage of the Museum's largest theater has been completely re-designed to provide new and dramatic effects especially made for "Adam to Atom". One of the most unusual numbers will involve the iu?e of black light to present a symbolic story of man's splitting of the atom. Original music for the show was written by Isaac Van Grove and choreography is by Joan Woodruff. ^ To accomodate those attending the evening performance, the Museum will operate open-air dining facilities located at the southwest corner of the Museum, on the terrace overlooking the Jackson Park lagoon. A selection of meals will ibe offered in this "Lagoon Terrace," cafe daily frdm 6 to 8 p.iji. It is planned to keep Museum exhibits adjoining the theater open for tjie benefit of those attending the evening performance, after the Museum's regular closing hours. Free parking accomodations, are also available in the Museum parking areas. "Adam to Atom" will run from July 12 to September 15. Reservations may be obtained at the box office of the Museum or by mail. raffic Safety EDWARD J BAKRETT S r C r c t ,1 f V of S t t f A blind person carrying a white cane in a raised position or being guided by a dog is just the same as mm a stop Bign for you a% a driver.
