PAGE IS - PLAINDEALER • FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20,1N1 JURY SELECTION CONTINUES (Continued from page 1) proceedings against him were "malicious and done without probable cause" in that the Health department agent knew at the time he initiated the criminal proceedings the junior Luciano was neither the owner nor party to possession of the property on Michael street and he had neither created nor maintained a nuisance. As a direct result of the criminal proceedings initiated by a county agent, the complaint states that the junior Luciano was arrested on a warrant, photographed, fingerprinted, posted bond and was brought into court. The court quashed the warrant of arrest and returned the bond to Luciano, Jr., Sept. 29 of this year and a bench warrant was issued for Luciano, Sr. The plaintiff claims that because of the acts committed by the county's agent, he lost income from his em­ ployment and his right to liberty was denied him in violation jof the U.S. Constitution. In Count 1 of the complaint, Luciano seeks judgment against the county in excess of $15,000 to compensate him for damages and to punish the defendant and deter others from the commission of a similar offense. In Count 2, it is claimed that on Nov. 5 of this year, the junior Luciano was placed under arrest at the place of his employment in McHenry by a deputy sheriff who transported him to county jail. A jury hearing is demanded. HOLIDAY SEASON OPENS (Continued from page 1) special feature that Saturday called The Magic Christmas, as well as some popular cartoons. Each of the twin theatres will run the movie, the first beginning at 10 a.m. and the second at 10:45 to facilitate crowd control. It is not possible to buy a free ticket at the theatre door for this special feature. Only through a sales receipt in a local store can one receive a ticket for ad­ mission. The feature and cartoons last about one and a half hours, giving parents an opportunity to shop comfortably that Saturday while their children enjoy the show. Participating stores will display the complimentary ticket in their window. COUNCIL ACTS ON SQUAD CARS (Continued from page 1) Police Chief George Pasenelli said the department's concern in this in­ stance was not for a particular make of car, rather for a full-size car and one that is safest for the officer. Ort a motion to purchase the squad cars from Buss Ford with no trade-in, Aldermen Pepping, Nolan, Harker, Wieser, Smith, Serritella and Meurer voted in favor. Alderman Datz voted against the measure. In other business, the council voted to amend the subdivision control or­ dinance to allow for three-story buildings, not to exceed the maximum height requirement of 35 feet. The ordinance had previously only per­ mitted two-and-a-half stories. The council also approved an or­ dinance establishing a family video game center, which was proposed at the last council meeting. Alderman Ron Meurer cast the sole dissenting vote. A sludge disposal study by the engineering firm of Baxter and Woodman was authorized by a unanimous vote of the council. The study will not exceed a cost of $12,000 and will look into alternative methods of sludge disposal. PARK DISTRICT DEBATE GOES ON (Continued from page 1) both the park district boundaries and their paychecks. Concerning the deadline set by Ralph Fisher, chief of dam safety for the Illinois Department of Transportation Division of Water Resources, Gunning said it could be done faster with volunteer help. "However, that seems to be a thing of the past," he added. Nevertheless, despite Gunning's claim that $300,000 would suffice for repairs, some people were not so sure. Joseph Janeczko, a member of the Masters association finance com­ mittee, remained unconvinced. Janeczko said there has been little discussion within the committee so far, and he has seen no facts to back up the Masters association's figure. The people of Highland Shores decided to put off a vote and hold another meeting exclusively to discuss the park district issue. Pfannkuche said the meeting will be before Dec. 13, which is the next meeting of the Masters association and the date on which the final decision most likely will be made. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) before continuing the long trek to his Lakeland Park home. Clyde was 91 last spring and there are days, in his own words, when "my pep leaves me". But plenty of spirit prompts him to keep walking to recover strength lost in several bouts with illness. Often, he politely but firmly refuses offers of a ride even when the greater part of his mile-plus walk is still ahead. He wants, like so many others, to keep going and he has the will to do it. "Gen" Bohr Sengstock and Clyde Blackwell^re just a few of the seniors we see every day who have been strengthened by the hardships of life. Some of their contemporaries are convinced the younger generation has been spoiled to the point that they have nothing to give. That lust isn't so. A spoiled society we are, to be sure, but young folks in 1961 have inherited some of the biggest problems that have ever come the way » of Americans. That's one of the biggest "unspoilers" we know. Some of them won't make it, just as some of their parents and grandparents didn't make it. But we've seen just enough of them who are willing to make sacrifices, who work hard, who ap­ preciate the older generation and the legacy that generation has left them as good citizens, to give us confidence that the "Gen" and Clyde of tomorrow are in the making today. KAF Dairy Farmers In Two Annual Meets Nov. 23 Dairy farmer members of Associated Milk Producers, Inc., residing in northeastern Illinois can choose from two annual meetings within District 3 C.
