March 3, 1928 WINNETKA TALK Kenilworth Officers Take Training Course With Chicago Police With "school days" over, Sergeant Victor Faulstick of the Kenilworth police department, is now back on the job after a three weeks' detail with the Chicago Detective Bureau. Under a program inaugurated in the Kenil- worth police department recently, in- tended to place the department in a position to handle any situation both from the standpoint of equipment and training, Sergeant Faulstick was de- tailed to the Chicago bureau on Febru- ary 2 for the purpose of working with each of the specialized squads and ob- serving their methods of handling their work. In the course of the three weeks, Sergeant Faulstick was associated with about five departments of the City De- tective Bureau. He was with the first detective squad to arrive on the scene in the Stockyards district following the battle royal in which several employes at the Stockyards were shot down by two negroes and two Chicago police officers, and the two negroes were killed in a gun battle in the hall of a building near by. He also studied the work of the stolen car details and bombing squads, the latter division handling all labor trouble and radical element strife. While Vic, as he is familiarly called by Kenilworth residents, is "instant poison" to violators of the Village ordinances and keeps a stern "look- out" for any infringements of menace to public safety, he is, contrary to what one might expect in the case of an officer who attends to his duties with precision, extremely well liked. In meting out justice, he is far from over-zealous and for that reason has earned a reputation with the motoring public for square treatment. Officer Edgar Fellows is at the pres- ent time with the Chicago force and, upon his return in a few days, other Kenilworth officers will be detailed for a like course. Expedite C. and N. W. Automatic Train Control The last stretch of Chicago & North Western's main-line automatic train control installation, extending from Chicago to Omaha, is scheduled to be complete and in service by May 1, ac- cording to an announcement by Presi- dent Fred W. Sargent. This outstanding factor of safety and railroad efficiency between these two cities, such as has been in operation on the Clinton-Omaha division since July 1, now mark what is said to be one of the longest stretches of contin- uous automatic train control in the country. With the completion of this vast im- provement, representing an outlay of $3,000,000, all Chicago North Western passenger and freight trains on the main line will pass under an invisible master control that is absolutely auto- matic. It holds the speed of all trains within proper limits independently of the engineer or train men at all times. Under any and all conditions of the weather, day or night, it safeguards the movements of all trains and pro- vides engineers with a constant check as to speed, and the condition of the right-of-way ahead entirely indepen- dent of block system signals which are often obscured by fog and thereby sac- rificing speed for safety.
