The property changed hands
several times during the next
20 years and finally was pur-
chased by Mr.. and Mrs. Ruesch
in 1916.

They Immediately remodel

service station, which is now
operated by Paul L. Miller.
Work was begun on the store
last year and it was officially

Mr.. Ruesch revealed that he
plans to add a second floor to
the store, in which he hopes to
have several apartments to al
leviate the present housing
shortage. A room on the north

verified into an office and is
suitable for someone who has
business aspirations.

THEODORE RUESCH
Continued from page ~


It was during his early af-
filiation with the Grace Church
that later first, met Olive
Ruesch and they were married
on May 10, 1927. The wedding
ceremonies took place in the
home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. P. B. Johnson
with the Rev. Thomas I'll. Mel
son officiating. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ruesch are now the parents of
two sons, John Robert and
Theodore, Jr. Both attend
Zion-Benton township high
school.
Historical Site
The site of the new Salem
Food Mart has an interesting
historical background that
may be traced back to the pre-
Civil War days Of 1860, when
the United States government
sold the property to one Of Ben
ton townships pioneer settlers.
The present home, in which the
Ruesch's now live, was part Of
the original 100 acre farm and
was built long before the es-
Enlistment of the City of Zion
under the late DR.. John Alex
ander Dowie.
Although the name of the
original owner is not available,
it is known that Deacon Will
hide purchased the property
in 1905, shortly after the SET
thing of Zion. In those early
days it was the home of E. L.
Brown, one of the first ticket
agents at the Salem Depot. At
that time the old barn, which
was recently torn down, was
used as a stable in which pat
rons of the North Shore used
to leave their horses while they
committed to and from Chica-
go.
Doc. Campbell used this old
barn as a headquarters for his
hack (horse taxi) service with
which he took visitors on sight
seeing tours in the community.

SOCIALISM BRINGS DIsILLUsIONMENT

ism has brought good deal of dsusionment to Britain

frequent and disputes great under private man
agemen The slight increase in output per man-shft is
American production methods rather than increase
in worker morale The article to Natonalza-
tion to the ordinary miner down in the pit has always
meant that the industry would become his Now the
miners claim it is not nearly the thing to discover it
is the nations industry In fact they claim that the old
private always present to be conferred with
he not the helpless agent of remote and soulless
board in London"
Can anyone believe that American coal miners would
have made such remarkable progress in betterng their
lot if had had socialzed industry? Under private
enterprise the mine union has grown enormously prower

heads over wages working conditions, and any other
controversial point The result is that the Amer

Ask Supreme Court
TO Rule On Arizona
Retirement Measure

The Arizona Supreme Court has
been asked to accept a lawsuit to
determine how the expenses OF the
state employees retirement system
are to be paid.
The attorney general has asked
the court to make ruling and will
set up such a suit directed against
the state auditor. Under the law,
the auditor is member of the
board, as well as it's nominal pay
master.
Attorney General Wilson says
that his office is not going to ask
ruling on the law other than
how it is to be administered.
1--WE believe the act to be con-
stitutional," he said, land we will
ask the court to rule on only three
questions"
The first question is whether the
retirement act-passed by the peo-
pie last November-makes an ap-
preparation out of the state treas
ury?
Can any portion of the five per
CGIlL CO11II1UQLCu " IAC ACeAAN ~
state employees be used for ad-
ministrative purposes?
If there is no constitutional ap-
preparation within the act itself,
and if the funds can't be tapped,
will the state auditor be permitted
to issue certificates of indebtedness
against the state.
For the purpose of presenting
such a suit, the action will be
brought against State Auditor
Frohmiller to force her to pay
travel expenses for one of the board
members, Mrs. Iva Reeves of Pres
colt.
The attorney generals office,
which will represent the retirement
board in such suit, says that board
personnel = including a secretary
and actuary-must be set up before
the board can function. Unless it
is known where the money is to
come from, the operation of the
system will be stymied.

COUNSELOR.

Dear Mrs. Lee, -. I'll
My mothers birthday is next
week and I am asking you for
some advice on what to get her.
I have saved up six dollars for
it. My mother is going to be 80
years old. Can you suggest some
thing nice for her?
A Daughter.
Dear A Daughter,
You have saved up q lot Of
money for gift and I imagine
your mother will be very happy
with what you decide to get her.
Most mothers like nice slips or
nighties, or blouse. You will
have to ask your father or some
one in the family about the size
your mother will take. E.
If you want to keep it a Sc
cret, you might get her some cos
tune jewelry such as earrings,
or a pin. The stores have some
very nice selections. A pair of
scatter pins, if your mother has a
new suit. Perhaps she would like
some perfume. You might ask a
clerk in one of the drug stores to
show you what new scents they
have. -e-...#-.s. ..< #a-
Maybe your mother would like
a new copper bottom pan to
cook with, or a set of matched
mixing bowls or glasses. II she
is fond of fancy dishes, you could
get several to form a set.
It is always well to listen for
hints. Often you will hear her
say, ''My, wish had a new
cake plate" or II certainly need
a new bed lamp" Then you
know what she needs. Personally,
I like to get something they aren't
likely to buy for themselves. I
feel sure if you just look around
in the stores you will find some
thing you will enjoy giving and
she will equally enjoy receiving.
One word Of warning: II pos
sible don't shop on Saturday. Try
to do it after school, as at that
time the clerks aren't 50 busy and
can give you more help in max
ing your selection.
