Protective Service
Fake Eye Specialist
Racket Revived

THE FAKE EYE doctor racket
that was worked several years ago
to swindle millions of dollars from
elderly persons is reappearing in the
country again, the United States
postoffice department warns.
Here's the way the racket is usu-
ally worked. The crooks travel in
pairs and try to spot elderly couples
living outside of town. They gen.
orally pick places where there are no
telephone lines leading into the
house.
Once a prospect is located,
crook presents himself as an eyeglass
salesman with a special offer. In the
course of his sales talk he suddenly
observes that his potential customer
has a shocking symptom in his left
eye. The salesman is not sure, but
the affliction looks serious to him.
BY happy coincidence the famous
eye specialist, DR.. So-and-So, is ac-
companying him on this trip and is
this very moment out in his car. The
famous doctor might just. be per-
suaded to examine the afflicted orb.
The doctor is very gracious, but
also deeply concerned when he OBJ
serves the symptoms. 1t is undoubt-
edly a rare and serious case. Only
the promptest action can prevent
total blindness, even mental COM
plications. Fortunately, there is a
quick and painless cure which has
been developed in the cours of
nuclear studies in connection with
production of the atomic bomb.
Even more fortunately, the great
doctor happens to have some of the
precious radio active material used
with him. 1t is expensive, of course,
and it's use must for the time being
be kept secret.
The operation" proceeds. The
doctor places a few drops of a gela-
tine-ike solution in the eye and in
a few minutes dramatically lifts out
a glutinous mass, the removal Of
which presumably marks the com
plete cure. The next step, of course
is to collect from the grateful pa.
tent a nominal fee usually from
$500 to $1,000 for the specialist:
gracious service.
Any one approached with any var.
iation of this line might find it in
teresting to see how the show is pu
On but will do well to recomment
the sheriff as the next patient whel
the payment is suggested.

The BIBLE

& #N Ii Is NE!
People differ radically in VIZ
what they think about the ~,
Bible.
Some seem to think it
was handed down from
Heaven written in English -
and bound in morocco. -
Many accept it as the in -
spired Word of God with
out knowing why they are justified
in doing SO. And Others say that
the Bible is full of contradictions
and must be taken with a grain
of salt"
A proper understanding of the
Scriptures can exert a tremendous
influence for good in your personal
life. You should, therefore, know
where we get the Bible. what it
means :. why you can believe its
every word.

Yes, the Bible is truly a Catholic
book. They were members of the
Catholic Church who, under Gods
inspiration, wrote the New Tesla
ment in its entirety.
1t was the Catholic Church which
treasured it and gave it to the
world in its original and unaltered
form. 1t is the infallible authority
of the Catholic Church that always
has been the only sure guarantee of
its inspiration.
There are obscure and difficult
passages in the Bible, some Of
which may seem confusing. But
with the complete revealed truth
of God, delivered to her from the
beginning, the Catholic Church has
faithfully unfolded the meaning of
the written Word Of God to past
generations of mankind-and does
so today.

ed as the recreation center of
the WPA project.
William J. Bicket and his
wife, Ruth Naomi Bicket, took
official title to this building
and the three south adjoining
lots from the City Of Zion on
Nov. /, 1915. Construction
first began on the portion of
the building now occupied by
the National Tea Co. store on
Feb. /, 1916, and the construc-
ton of the other portions of
the building and the recon-
struction of the portion now oc-
cupied by Fields followed in
order, with Fields official
opening for business with Mrs.
ROLAND Lundahl in charge on
Dec. II, 1916.
The old City Hall building,
which had been considered
useless and was originally
scheduled to be RACED, has
been reconstructed and made
more durable by replacing all
the old wooden beams with
new steel beams. This build
ing today, said Mr.. Bicket, is
regarded as one of the most
sturdy in the community.
Visited New York City
Mr.. Bicket revealed that he
conceived his plan for the
present store while visiting
relatives in New York City in
1915. While in New York, he
and Mrs. Bicket made it
point to visit some of the lead
ing stores in the worlds larg-
est and most modern city and
visited Macy's on Fifth Ave-
nue. with the original idea of
providing Zion with metro
politan styled department
store. 1t was during these visits
that he was so impressed with
the beautiful small shops along
Fifth Avenue that he dreamed
of such a store to enhance the
beauty of Sheridan Road in
Zion. Fields is his dream come
true.

articles designed to familiarize

FIELDS BRINGS A TOUCH
OF 5TH AVE. TO ZION

Wis, where her husband was
employed as managing au-
ditor of the Firestone Tire COM
pany office. While Mr.. Will
was associated with the Fire
stone company, they also lived
in Minneapolis, Mimi, Colum-
bus, Ohio, Cincinnati, Ohio,
and Akron, Ohio.
When Mr.. Will became tax
manager of the Cudahy Meat
Packing Company in 1941, the
Wills moved to Chicago, where
Ed later became affiliated with
the General Finance corpora
ton, the company with which
he is employed at present.
Hobby Is Tennis
The chief hobbies of both
Mr.. and Mrs. Will is tennis
and while living in Chicago,
both were active in this sport,
participating in competition
staged by the Indian Boundary
club, of which they were mem
bers Both participated in sew
eral tournaments and won
their share of trophies. 1t will
be recalled that Ed for num-
Der of years during his youth
in Zion reigned as champion
of the Benton Tennis club.
While in Chicago, Ruth also
was very active in the Cub
Scout movement. Her son,
Richard, was a member and
she served as Den Mother.
Due to the housing shortage
in Chicago, Mr.. and Mrs. Will
and son returned to Zion last
October and at present are
living with Mr.. and Msr.C. W.
Mole, 324O Enoch Ave. Rich
ard attended Central school
during the past school year
and will be in seventh grade
next fall.
Upon returning to Zion, Mrs.
Will was placed in charge of
the Cosmetic department in
B. B. Pharmacy and served in
this capacity for several
months prior to purchasing an
interest in Fields. Mr.. Bicket
revealed that Fields has more
than doubled it's sales since the
first of the wear.
This fashionable store, which
is made to look larger through
the heavy plate mirror on the
southwall, is ultra-modern in
design and is a carbon copy of
some of the smartest shops
along New York's famous
Fifth Avenue. The interior is
finished with natural maple
woodwork and is Illuminated
by drop lights and spotlights.
Another outstanding feature
of this store is the huge struc-
tural glass front, with the il
Illuminated trade mark, Fields.
Historical Background
Although this store is one
of the most modern in the COM
munity, it is interesting to note
that the building itself has a
historical background which
may be traced to the early days
of the city under DR.. John AL
exander Dowie. This building
was among the first construct
ed on Sheridan Road and for
merly served as the City Hall.

If brighton Park police

week.
They had made the mistake
of arresting Leon Beverly, CLIO

conducted a shop gate Wallace

plant sponsored by Local 1874,
CLIO Food & Tobacco Workers.

means in English, talking over
a sound truck loud speaker.
In Judge Oscar Captains Mu-

WASHINGTON (EP)-Latest
story here around the House
labor committee is that Rep.
Fred Hartley (R., N. J.), not
running for reelection this year,
may be drumming up trade for
new anti-labor lobbying serv-
ice he hopes to run next year.
Hartley has been in San
Francisco in October, and help
ing him has been the chief COM
mittee clerk, w. Manly Shep-
pard. According to the story
Hartley has been looking for
employers and employer groups
willing to pay him substantially
for his legislative experience.
There is no announced House
labor committee business in
San Francisco to justify Shep-
pard's presence while he is still
on the committee payroll and
drawing committee exp ems e
money. However, the Reorgani-
zation Act of 1916 says in Sec.
202 (a):
professional staff members
(of committees) shall not en-
gage in any work other than
committee business and no
other duties may be assigned to
them"
