Although the average public warcelv pays any attention and offers no tribute to these men in the ranks, thoy are nevertheless the basic sinew, the life and blood, of party organization. These fellows probably have more to do with the election of a president than most peoolc realize. It's their job to see thnt voters get to the polls and that they vote "right." Procrastinating voters are the bane of good government. The precinct committeeman helps cut down their number.

It's very practical, indeed.

There are 102 counties In the of Illinois which are divided into voting districts, popularly called "precincts," each with its precinct committceman.

VICTIM OF the attack, Charles Jackson 25, was released from DuPage Memorial hospital, Elmhurst, Wednesday. He is recovering from wounds about his left elbow and wrist and may never regain full use of his left index finger. Jackson, however, has. not yet signed a complaint and it is indicated that he is reluctant to do so. Witnesses and alleged participants in the case "clammed up" and refused to tell anything at the preliminary hearing Monday evening before Police Magistrate John H.

As a result, President Lowell Capoot may take action to bring immediate supension or revocation of liquor permits in places where such outbreaks occur in the future. THE REPORT of Policeman Roy Imwie, who was called to the tavern at 7 p.m., stated that Jackson said he was trying to break up a fight between two customers when he was stabbed. George Carlin and Alex Panagio- taros were involved in the fight. the report says. Herbert Gieseke has been named president of the Roselle Businessmen's association for the current year, 1952.

He succeeds William A. Fenz.

Lies, Roselle, to collect retirement benefits which he has been seeking the past two years. JUDGE KNOCK reversed an Illinois Municipal Retirement fund ruling to deny Lies' claim, which soujht benefits back to 1949 when he ended over 30 years of service on the DuPage county board. Some months ago Lies learned that his claim had been turned down on the ground that he was paid on a per diem basis and not considered a regular employee of the county. His only course then was to file suit for the benefits and this week's court action was a result of that suit. LIES, WHO at the age of about 80 now holds the part time, but important job of president of the Roselle vill ige board, has only to request payment of the benefits His suit was handled by the law firm of Hadley and Laren, Wheaton.

SEVERAL conceivable solutions to the growing: problem were advanced, but the one that received the most attention was advanced by Trustee a i Ru'steberjr. "How about the space around the village hall?" he asked, "i seem to remember it being considered as possible parking space several years back." "You are right," Capoot stated. "I even recall that permission for use was secured from the owner of the property to the south of the village hall. Our only real problem, moving fire siren, would not be too serious." SPEAKING ON behalf of Bensenville Chamber of Commerce, Trustee Fred Kcebbeman introduced another plan. Chamber," he said, "would like to get the board's okay to consider the development of a couple of places for parking, specifically, the area along the north side of Railroad between York and Center and that on the Main st Addisen sti Save Life Of A Heart Attack Victim At Palatine Station Thomas Dodge, 55, 120 N.

Rohlwing Palanois Park, is in an oxygen tent at Sherman hospital, Elgin, recovering from a sudden heart attack at 5:33 Thursday morning in the Palatine railroad station. His life was saved by the prompt action on the part of Officer Bitz, telephone operator and firemen. Bitz received word of the attack over the radio. The telephone office notified Fire Chief Gaare who authorized the sounding of the alarm by the operator, who in turn called Dr. Starck.

The firemen soon had an inhalator in operation. Dr. Starck ordered an ambulance. Firemen Arno Toddy and Orville Helms accompanied Mr. Dodge to the hospital and administered oxygen during the trip.

The oxygen tent was ready to receive the patient when the hospital was reached. This proposal was discussed for some time and then Capoot suggested that the village give its okay, providing that the Milwaukee Road would do likewise. The trustees agreed on this stipulation. Trustee Ambrose Martin maintained, in another phase of the discussion, that parking meters are the only way out. "Let us face it," he said, "we will have to get meters sooner or Ifterand the revenue we would eventually gain could be used to purchase parking lot." "THIS, HOWEVER, would not solve the immediate problem," Capoot reminded.

When a question arose as to the fcngin of the all day parkers, Capoot suggested that Chief of Police Harry Kolze be directed to run a survey. We can then find out how many motorists are from Bensenville, and how many others come here and park from- the other towns, he pointed out This was considered a good idea and Kolze was officially advised.
