Tower Road Phones: Winn. 908-09 Knock on Wood; We're Virtually Crime-Free Town That the Winnetka Police depart- ment is operating on the theory that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," or words to that effect, is evidenced in the October report of Chief of Police W. M. Peterson to the Village council, Wednesday evening. Under the classifications "robberies" and "burglaries" there appears the word, "none." That is where the work of "pre- vention," or efficiency, comes in on the part of the police department. Under the foregoing classification of crimes there have been only two cases in the village in the past year and the perpetrators of both of these are now "doing time." One was the Henry C. Bartholomay robbery, at 620 Spruce street, April 3, in which the haul of more than $6,000 was recovered and the three perpe- trators, Arthur Wurster, Dan Carstrom and Wayne McCrary, were appre- hended and ultimately sent to prison. The other was a robbery on May 13, at Elm near Walnut, for which Michael J. Conlin and Leo N. Toch were caught, convicted and sent to prison. A total of 30 arrests were made dur- ing October, four of which were for speeding; six for drunkenness; five for chauffeurs driving without license and one or two each for other minor offenses. The value of cars stolen was $3,450 and the value of stolen cars recovered was $4,650. Property stolen in other larceny cases amounted to only $215 and the value of similar stolen property re- covered was $245. There were twenty automobile acci- dents during the month in which twelve persons were injured, but none fatally. Seventy-two persons were warned regarding traffic violations. Eighteen buildings were found open or unlocked and twenty-eight resi- dences watched while householders were out of town. The foregoing represent only a por- tion of the various duties performed by the police during the month. Ninety-one street lights were reported "out" and there were 140 unclassified cases. Mrs. W. C. VanHorne of 757 Locust street will entertain her sister, Mrs. Carl Upjohn, of New York City, as her house guest for the next ten days. THE PASSING OF A RARE AND BEAUTIFUL CHARACTER By passing I do not mean 'going West." No--she is passing from a life of service to one of ease and comfort, after seventy years spent in giving ease and comfort to those with whom she lived, and our family enjoyed thirty of those happy years. This character is also passing from the world of today ; in fact, I think I can say, has already gone. She never asked for an increase in salary--she did not specialize when it came to work; everything her strength was equal to, she eagerly did, and did it all well. She could easily have filled the place of expert cook or laundress. When there was sickness, she was a cheery and efficient helper... Or was the hateful housecleaning time upon us, or were we moving--she was never sulky, never spoke of the fatigue I knew she felt. When the meals had almost been lost sight of in the scramble to get out of the way of painter or paper hanger, she had prepared an appetizing dinner out of left-overs. She did not demand certain days off-- she would ask, perhaps twice in the month, if she might have a day to her- self. To many in the village she was known, and greatly appreciated a friendly greet- ing on the street, never forgetting such courtesy shown her. Who can measure her share in the happiness and well being of the house- hold in which she lived? I count her stay with us one of life's blessings. -
