appoint a Chief. This motion

COUNCIL
MEETING

The Robbins Village Board
held its regular monthly council
meeting at the village hall on
Tuesday, February 2, 1854 with
President Theodore Hendricks
presiding.
One of the highlights of the
session was the discussion of
Robbins railroad station. 1t was
brought out that here are no
lights; windows are broken out
and it is unheated. Further dis
cussion pointed out the fact that
Robbins children were respon-
sible for the condition of the
station. 1t was said that no
sooner than windows were put
in; lights installed and coal put
there for the stove, than the
windows and lights were again
broken and the coal disappears.
The board promised to do some
thing about this.
The Zoning Board of Appeal

the northwest corner of 18TH

For the past ten years Joanna

follows:
more than 500 school people
presented the pageant, "The
Past in Prologue given De
cember 18th at Oak Park-River
Forest Township High School.
About 400 students and teachers
participated in the production
which depiced the development
of public education from Colon
ial times to the present. Lake
Shore and Chicago schools con-
tributed most of the talent. Yer
non L. Nickel, superintendent
of public instruction, played the
part of Abraham Lincoln. This
pageant was in keeping with
the Centennial Celebration of
I. E. A."
Shortages of public under
standing and supply buildings
and equipment, teachers and
prestige for teachers were en-
phasized by Mabel Schwartz, I.
E. A. president, in her speech
to the delegates.
Featured speaker at the Cen
tennia1 banquet was William G.
Carr, executive secretary of the

ODD NOTES
By ADELINE WASHINGTON

A little Fox was playing one
day, when a Lion came roaring
along. Dear me-" said the Fox,
as he hid behind a tree. 'T new
er saw a Lion before. What a
terrible creature!"
The next time the Fox met
the Lion, he was not so much
afraid. but he said to himself,
1 wish he would not make
such noise!"
The third time they met, the
Fox was not frightened at all.
He ran up to the Lion, and
said, What are you roaring
about?" And the Lion was so
taken by surprise, that he walk
ed away without saying a word.

Kelly Gaining
Support In All
Parts Of State

Interest in the campaign for
the Democratic nomination for
Governor took a marked up
swing in the last ten days as
former Atty. Gen. Francis E.
Kelley continued to receive
pledges of support from all
sections of the Commonwealth.
Political observers point out
that certain major Democratic
leaders in the state seem to
have decided on a "hands-of"
policy, arguing that it is best
to watch the Democratic GU
hernatorial primary contest from
the sidelines rather than incur
the resentment of the rank and
file of the party.
Kelly has been advised by
many groups in the state that
they resent the proceedings
which took place at the Wor-
cester Iron Curtain" conven-
ton in the dictated selection of
candidates. A Committee of
Massachusetts voters has been
formed, pledged to abolish the
undemacratic control system
and return to the people the
right to select their own candi-
dates for state offices.
Many Democratic leaders
nave pledged their support to
further Kelly's campaign for
Governor and predict his sue
cess in September, based on
the issues he has advanced for
discussion, the extensive sur
vey made which reulted in 1885,
600 signatures on his nomina-
ton papers and the enormous
following throughout the Com
which former ATTY.

70 years he has been in public
life.
