PAGE 30 • PI.AINDEALER • WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, ItOZ , MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (CeeiHiwed hsm ye§e 1) that music had played a big part in the early lives of many of his schoolmates. Some turned to music as a profession. One of these, who spent most of his adult life with some of the big bands, was A1 Vales. Meyer, a talented singer himself who now lives in Oak Park, recalled > the son of long time friends, Alida id the late A.J. Wirtz - Jack by nahte^- at this time has his high school orchestra from the same city making appearances in Europe. And wasn't it fitting that someone should have brought a clipping from the Plaindealer's Twice Told Tales telling of a young man named Earl "Marty" Conway who was soloist with the city band in a park concert of 50 years ago. Of course, he favored his captive audience with "When Irish Eyes are Smiling". One in that audience remarked, "Thekidstill has it". Gentleman that he is, ne credited the fine ac­ companiment to Agnes Lay Klaus. This might have seemed a sufficient program, but there was more. In the style of Veloz and Yolanda, Florence and Ralph Schroeder gave a ballroom dance presentation that only high school students of the early thirties would remember well. • Marie Berndt of the Class of 1933 modestly accepted well earned ac­ colades for her part in shaping plans for the evening. But there was a solemn moment injected into the otherwise festive happenings. With evident ap­ preciation for the memories they were sharing, and for the opportunity to see former classmates, they observed a moment of silence for each to remember, in his own way, those who had died or for other reasons could not be present. Charles Brda had sent in his reservation in the hope that he could be with the others on this memorable evening. Hjs death came three days later. Bill Kreutzer died on the day of the reunion. We were not among those present to remember their school days. Our own time at MCHS came sometime af­ terward. But the account of the evening, devoted to recollections of other days, brought a nostalgic twinge for us. And we hope it will for others as they recall the easy days of youth, when we enjoyed the moment, letting an adult population worry over the post Stock Market crash Depression.

Plan Group Will Address Sawmill, Gravel Concerns Planning »y coroner's jury ruled the baby's death as homicide. According to the pathology report, Ketchum, Jr. died from malnutrition due to neglect. Thia prompted an internal security in­ vestigation by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, the findings of which were used by the grand jury. The grand jury charged that Ket­ chum, Sr., 22, and Ms. Adams, 24, "failed to follow the advice of Earl L. Ketchum, Jr.'s pediatrician, br. Papa, concerning the proper care and feeding ..which caused the chiML.to become chronically ill...." Ketchum, Sr. and Ms. Adams also were charged with neglect in allowing the child to be placed in an "uneafe environment" under the care of Ms. Devine The house did not contain fresh drinking water, plumbing or adequate food. Ms Devine was charged with acting in a reckless manner by improperly feeding the infant, even though tfie child's health was declining. The grand jury also recommended "more frequent communication among the DCFS and contracting agencies," which include Family Support Services in the county. The report adds: "We feel, in this caae, had a visiting nurse been allowed to examine the child more frequently, the child might be alive today. "...All people involved in the medical community and social ser­ vices, regardless of position, hsve an obligation to report any and all suspected cases of child abuse and-or neglect. In the case of Earl L. Ket­ chum Jr , we don't feel, in the strictest sense, this was done."
