Rock County deputies are called to Clinton to break up several fights between local youths and teens from Beloit, but the young rumblers scatter before the cops arrive. Janesville residents no longer have to dial 0 for operator to place long-distance calls to 39 other Wisconsin cities and 41 communities in northern Illinois. To call Chicago, a local person dials 112 to connect with the Direct Distance Dialing system and 312, the area code for northeastern Illinois, and the number he or she wishes to reach. An operator interrupts monetarily to ask the number of the phone from which the call is placed. Men's suits and sport coats are slim-shouldered with two buttons and narrow lapels.
Shirts have button-down or tab collars, and dark ties are thin to the point of skinny.
Field training starts for the 49 members of the Janesville Auxiliary Police Corps as they accompany regular officers on their patrols and beats. When their duty assignments require uniforms, they will wear helmets, belts and Civil Defense armbands. The auxiliary cops will help direct traffic, assist at accidents, take notes on investigations done by official cops and be on the lookout for stolen vehicles. Janesville teens are restless, and the closing of the Myers Theater leaves only one movie house and two drive-in theaters, so the community responds with a weekend recreation center for senior high students in the YMCA cafeteria. The teens can go to the Y Saturday and Sunday afternoons and Saturday nights, when dances to live or recorded music are planned.
