The forest preserve district, is also interested in the project and is lending its aid to the drainage district in having a set-up prepared. New Village Hall Sought at Mt.

Lydia Mueller and Elmer Capek United In Church Ceremony This spring is a big election year for local government bodies.

All township and villages will select men to fill all of the elective offices those units. Friday, Feb. 5 is the first date for the filinjr of petitions for the township election which will be held April 2. The present officials in Wheeling township will be candidates for reelection and petitions bearing their narhes are now in circulation. Feeling that politics have no place in local governmental bodies, the present officials formed a joint ticket irrespective of party affiliations, and providing recognition to the Wheeling village section of the township, which has been without a constable or justice of the peace since the last township election.

The candidates upon the coalition ticket thus formed are: For Supervisor, Chas. F. Grandt. For Town Clerk, Howard Helm. For Assessor, J.

Fred Meyer. For Collector, Wm. Annen. For Commissioner of Highways, Herman Garms. For Justices of the Peace (5 to be elected), Wm.

E. Kopplin, Gilbert J. Klehm, William Weber, Carl M. Behrens, Clarice Weider. For Constables (five to be elected), Carl H.

Skoog, Floyd Dobbins. Geo. Mollenkanip, Al Sloob, Fred Hinz. For School Trustee, Edmund G. Nkkol.

The able manner in which thu Wheeling township board has administered the affairs of the township is well known to local tax payers and voters. Through all the long years of the depression their position has not been an enviable one. The township treasury has been empty and with only part of the taxes being paid, it has taken the practice of strictest economy to keep the township government in operation. These men are asking for re-election and if accorded that honor hope to have the township finances out of the red before their terms of office expire. Palatine township has adopted a similar procedure and all of the present township officials with the exception of the tax collector, are- candidates for re-election.

They are: For Supervisor, John Meyer. For Town Clerk, George Howes. For Assessor, H. C. Devertnan.

For Collector, T. C. Hart. For Commissioner of Highways, Henry Roper. For Justices of the Peace, E.

P. Steinbrinck. Wm. DePue. For Constables, Geo.

Meyer, Chas. Folz. Despite the drab, rainy weather prevailing last Saturday afternoon, St. Matthews Lutheran church was bright and cheery inside, when at 5 p. rn.

before the altar in a setting of palms, Miss Lydia Mueller, daughter of Mrs. Minnie Mueller of Des Plume's, and Mr. Elmer Capek, were united in marriage by Pastor Julius Toepel. A friend of the family played the wedding march and also sang two appropriate selections. Mr.

August Trieboldt escorted his niece, the charming bride to the altar where she was met by her groom and his best man, Harry Altman. Her gown was the traditional white bride's satin, her lace trimmed veil falling in long, graceful folds. White roses in shower bouquet completed the pretty picture. Two dainty little flower girls, Anna Lou Trieboldt and Patricia Garrity preceded the bride. They were dressed identically in yellow taffeta and carried baskets of rose petals.

Attending the bride were Miss Lucile Krueger, maid of lionor and Annette Mueller and Lorraine Engel, the bridesmaids. Their gowns were likewise identical and a lovely shade of ice blue moire. Miss Lucile carried yellow roses, the bridesmaids carried pink. Herbert Mueller and Anthony Bosch were the groomsmen. Fifty guests attended the reception at the bride's home in Des Plaines where the wedding supper was served and the remainder of the evening spent at dancing.

The newlyweds will make their home at 1629 Henry Des Plaines, where the best wishes of their friends accompany them for a bright and happy future, The February meeting of the Village Board was called an hour earlier than usual last Tuesday night, to afford time for a discussion of the much discussed "Community Center" with representatives of the various civic organizations of the Village. President H. F. Meyn explained that the cost of acquiring a site for the proposed Community Center, plus the cost of the building, would be beyond the bonding limit of the Village, unless they considered the offer of the Country Club buildings on the south side. The Country Club buildings together with five acres of land, have been offered at a cost of between $25,000 and $30,000, with an additional 40 acres of land at per acre.

This offer, from a price stand- 1 point, of course is an attractive one, but the locality is considered ini- piacticable for such a project and then no provision would be made for housing facilities for the fire and police departments. In view of all this the Board has been considering the erection of a Village Hall on the site of the present building, which would obviate the purchase of ground. The Village Hall would contain a large meeting room--providing a meeting place for the various organizations library facilities--small meeting rooms and facilities for the fire and police departments--in fact this Village Hall would embrace all of the facilities proposed in a Community Center building with the exception of gymnastic equipment, swimming pool and park grounds. It is unfortunate, of course, that we can not have a community park, with swimming and wading pools, gymnasium, but if the cost of such a project is beyond the bonding limits of the Village, under its present population and set-up, there is no alternative. This seemed to be the concensus of the representatives present at the meeting and the Board will proceed to ask for a PWA grant for a Village hall.

During the course of the meeting the Board decided to decline the request of the Wolf Coal Co. for permission to establish a coal yard on the railroad right of way, just south of Emerson street. Discount on Business License The Board also resolved to repeat the practice of last year of al lowing a discount of on busl ness licenses paid before June 1. Bids for tires for the police car and two truck tires were opened and read, but the matter was referred to the police committee with power to act. An ordinance was passed providing for the inspection of all vehicles delivering perishable food or goods in the Village and providing an inspection fee therewith.

This ordinance be effective following its publication according to law. Relatives Quarantined In Home Town Arlington Nat'nal Bank Opens Soon Definite announcement of the official opening 6f the Arlington Heights National Bank will not be made until next week. The board of directors have been disappointed so many times regarding delivery and installation of equipment, they prefer to be certain of the correct opening date before making any announcement. The bullet proof fixtures are being put into place this week. The old lobby of the Peoples State Bank has been cut in size in order to provide increased space for bank employeec.

All of the steel work of the two vaults have been cleaned and polished as well as the doojs of the safety deposit boxes. The Arlington Heights Lions club expects to invite the public to a dinner the latter part of the month in celebration of the opening of the bank. The movement to organize the Arlington Heights National Bank was started by that club. Glasss of Beer Costs Tavern Two Grand Mrs. Wm.

F. Meyer, of Arlington Heights who was greatly alarmed a week ago because of failure to receive word regarding her father and brothers at New Albany, near Louisville has now learned that they are all safe, although one brother has lost everything. New Albany is under martial law and quarantine and no residents are permitted to leave. Northwest Scout Movement In Remarkable Comeback In the first suit of ita kind recorded in Du Page county, a Jury in the circuit court Saturday returned a verdict of $2,000 in favor of Robert Allen, of Westmout against Mrs. Marie Novotny, Westmont tavern keeper.

The suit was brought under the dram shop act, for $25,000, and was predicated on the premise that the tavern sold one glass of beer to Edward Baumer of Westmont, now deceased, whose car struck and injured Robert Allen, a minor. Testimony was introduced by the plaintiff, represented by Atty. Mark W. Bemis of Glen tllyn, with the firm of Hadley, Weaver Woodward of Wheaton, of counsel, to show that Baumer had taken at least one drink at the tavern, and that he was intoxicated at the time of the accident. The boy, with a girl companion, was walking on the east side of 55th street, a black top road, when he was struck by a car driven by I Edward Baumer.

The car continued for a short ways and then Baumer stopped it, and returned to the scene of the accident Wit. nesses swore that Baumer had staggered, his talk was incoherent 1 and that his breath smelled of liquor. William Bossart, Ballmer's tath- er-in-law, who was in the car at the time, said that he had expected Baumer to meet him when he got off a train, but that the car wasn't at the station. He started to walk home. He saw the car parked in front of the tavern and went in.

There he found Baumer. They each had. he testified, one glass of beer. The Allen boy had both legs broken in the accident, ar.d the result is that one leg is now shorter than the other. Baumer died three months ago.

That ciause of the dram shop act under which the suit was brought holds the tavern keeper who sells liquor is responsible for damages that might result from liquor sold in his or her tavern. Judge William J. Sulton of Sycamore presided at the trial. Edgard Elliott of West Chicago was attorney for the plaintiff. The Scout movement in the Northwest Suburban Council has had one of the most remarkable comebacks on record.

The Council not only closed the with all bills paid, something which the Executive Board did not feel could possibly be done, but have under at the present time, a Council-wido organization to secure the budget for 1937. The present development is the outgrowth of plans worked out by John L. Bell of Barrington, the new president of the Northwest Suburban Council and Charles S. Stewart of Des Plaines, Council Finance chairman. Under the leadership of the finance committee, and the leaders in the eleven participating communities in the Council, the services of W.

Waldo Shaver of the Regional office of the Scout movement have been secured to help put the plan into action. Mr. Shaver will come into the Council during the process of organization and will be present at the inception of the drives in the various communities. The services of Mr. Shaver are the gift of the National Council which believes that the work of the Northwest Suburban Council has been outstanding in meeting tHt needs of youth during the depression.

For the first time in the history of the Council the schedules of the campaigns will be simultaneous and every district and community will enter into the efforta to secure the council budget for 1937. For the first time in the history of the Council the major objective will not be money, but the securing of boosters and backers for the movement in the suburban com- munities. The committee believes that the time has now arrived when the Scouting program should be made available to the more than 4,000 youths whose parents reside in the territory served by the coun- 1 cil, For this reason they have set as their goal 3,941 Boosters and backers to be enrolled in the drives, the first of which will open in Mt. Prospect on February 8th. Niles, Niles Center, Arlington Heights and Palatine are being scheduled for the week beginning February 22nd.

Park Ridge will open its campaign on Wednesday evening, March 3 and Des Plaines follow on Thursday evening, March 4. In each case the campaigns will carry on over one week in the hope that everyone will have had an opportunity to enroll. Under the leadership of Mr. Stewart, the finance committee of the Council are making an effort to secure additional leadership by securing the enthusiastic backing of some of the most outstanding business leaders in the territory to sponsor the campaign. "Get Off Main Street and Spread the base" are keynotes in the plans.

Heretofore, about 1,000 parents and friends have made up the list of contributors. The new plan calls for about four times as many backers of the movement for the Executive Board realizes that if it is to attain its goal of reaching more boys, it must have an adequate budget to carry through its new program. The Executive, Donald Kyger, must be released to lead the organization in troop service. Mutual Insurance Officers Re-elected The board of directors of the Cook County Fanners Mutual Insurance Company held their first meeting of the new year at company's office Saturday, Januarj 30. Officers for the ensuing yeaz were reelected as follows: President, August Geweke; vice-president, John C.

Other matters taken care of at the meeting were routine business. Milburn Bros. Gets Barrington Street Widening Contract Milburn Bros, of Mt.
