Under the new truck law which COM into effect March 1, 1940, all truck owners must meet certain requirements or they wilt not bo permitted to use the highways) of the Ptate of Illinois. The State Legislature has for time been trying to work out way in which the public wilt be protected in the event of in- jurkv or damages resulting from of automobiles unit tracks. The new law that was WUtted At the Inst session of tho Mfkuaturo has divided tho trucks into different classifications. Tho clMMiAcation under which each truck falls depends upon what type of truck it is or what it is used for. The farmer or gardener who his farm produce with his pwn truck would be classed as a "Private Carrier." "Private Carrier" means any ptnon who or which Is regularly in the transportation of business other than the business of transporting property for computation and who or which transports fcy truck property of which he is the owner, seller, bailee, consignee, or lessee as an incident to tto transaction of such other bust- MM, irrespective of whether or transportation charge Is made toy private carrier to tho per- aon from whom such carrier has purchased the property or a deduction for such transportation is made in such purchase price and imapwtive of whether or not a fltarge is made for transportation to the person to whom such private carrier has sold the property so transported."

The Illinois Liquor Control Commission handed down decision this week restoring the license to all sov-m Westmont tavern owners to which Attorney General John E.

Cassidv hud filed objections after state highway police hud removed pinball machines without first obtaining warrants. The mutter of granting licenses had been umhr advhiomcnt since September 19, 1031', when all of the tavern owners appeared before the Illinois Liquor Control Commission when their attorney, Joseph Sam Perry, exhibited to the Commission paid receipts showing that each of the owners had purchased a license to operate the pinball games from tho Village of West mont, and further exhibited a certified copy of an ordinance lieens Ing the same Hint was then in ful force and affect in Westmont. Attorney Perry produced evidence that no warning had ever been given by any law enforcing agency against tin- operation of pinball gumes mid further that none of the tavern owners owned, maintained or operated slot machines. The Attorney General and the state police ofTlcws admitted that the pinball machines had removed without warrants and without previous notice to remove the same. The wording of the order of the Commission in the case of Mary Novotny Hausherr, who operates the Novotny Tavern in Westmont, was as follows: "The Commission having considered the application for license, the protest of the Attorney General against the issuance of the same, ami the evidence offered by both parties, FINDS: "That tho applicant has not deliberately, wilfully and maliciously violated the laws of this State, nor wilfully misrepresented her intention relative thereto and there being no evidence that she is not a person of a good character and reputation in the community in which she resides, IT IS THKREFORC that thr.

Illinois Liquor Control Commission grant and issue a retailers liquor license to said MARY NOVOTNY HAUSHEKR." Other tavern owners who received a similar notice were as follows Joseph Ikan, Joseph Saroni, Harold G. Martin Janik, Frank J. Csch, L. Misuk, all of Westmont, Illinois. However, the decision of the Illinois Liquor Control Commission in no way affects the iippeul of States Attorney Russell w.

Kcen- ev and the Attorney General on the question of the legality of seizing pinlxtll machines without warrants, according to Mr. Perry. Pinball machines were- seized by state police lust summer in a raid on eight in Westmont. The machines at that time wort- licensed by the village, but Cassidy held the ordinance under which ths- levy was made to be illegal. When prosecutions were opened In the county court Acting County Judge Kdgar V.

Thoma suppressed tho evidence on tho contention of defense cotinsel that seizures of tho machines were made without search warrants and violated constitutional lights. and Cassidv petitioned thi supreme court for a writ of mandamus directing Judge Thomu to expunge his order so that on the gambling charges could be resumed. Mr. Perry states that till of tavern owners pledged to him and the Commission on 1939, the date of the hearing, not to permit pinbntl games or any other gambling device? to be operated in connection with or around their taverns, and that the decision of the lllinolH Liquor Control Commission to renew licenses of theso tavern was greatly Influenced by this pledge. Mr.

I'crry further stated that investigation showed that all of the a keepers had abided by their pledge up until January 20, 1940, Firemen Break Into Bank To Fight Fire It may bo considered a difficult job to break into a bank in broad day light, especially when the institution is protected by burglarproof apparatus, but members ot the Heights fire department did a quick and successful job Tuesday afternoon when they gained entrance through a window of the Arlington Heights National Bank and extinguished a fire that was just getting a good start. The tiro started around the window of the officer's room in tho northwest corner of the building. A woman reported the fire to Frank Jahn, who was in the office of Kriuisio Kche. The latter investigated and called tho department. After breaking a window, it was found that burglar proof screen stood in the way, but a fire extinguishing chemical was used around the screen until the latter could be knocked out when firemen were able to enter the room.

If tho blaze had gotten into tlio walls of the building, the damage would have been considerable. All records and valuables of the 'bank are protected by fire proof vaults and were not in danger. Stalled Car Blamed For Accident Causing Injury to Four A Harrington man and three members of Fox River Grove family were seriously injured in a head-on collision early Saturday night on Northwest highway about a milo of Fox River Grove.

A. Bolger of McHenry, Jacob E. Alschuler, Lions Take Up Firemen by VERN FRANZEN The Bensenville Lions evidently paid the penalty of strenuous activities during preceding days when la'st Sunday they bowed to the fighting fireman at ice hockey--7 to Probably the exertion attending the tobogganing, basketball and baseball events reported last week took too much out of the Lions. A goodly number of folks were on hand to watch the highlight of Benseriville's winter "Carnival" last Sunday and were rewarded with a display of hockey seldom seen--it was big-league all right-country style. The Lions opened with Hinz, Westby, Eickelnran, Collins and Milstreich with Spanley at Goal.

The Fireboys started Born, Rehev, Koine, V. Franzen and Korlhauer with Mahler in the nets. Before "Sweeps" Mahler could get his broom functioning the Lions swept the puck past him twice. This 2 to 0 lead held until the of the second period in which the Firemen really got hot iind fired the disc in, around and thru "Truck" Spanley five times. Uy this time Judge Frey was in charge of tho nets for the firemen assisted ably by "Beef" Lauman.

In the third period the Lions derided to give the game back to the kids and injected young Mack into the lineup--this speedster all but put out the Firemen and the wcore finally became tied up at all. However, the Volunteers applied a littlu more pressure to ekt out the 7 to win. Outstanding players in the Fireman lineup were Engineer Korthauer, "Flash" Uoher, "Smokey" Born and "Sparks" Kolze. For the Lions the following did the most to uphold the reputation of the Westby, "Bruiser" Collins, "Truck" Spanley and "Bull" Milstreich. All sports reports should carry data on the scoring but it was indeed difficult to figure, due to the muss of sticks, skates and whatnot, just who the individuals were who managed to shove the puck acrdBs the pay-line.

Although Shorty 'Neill stated definitely in his role of referee that the game was to be played under the accepted International Rules the boys just went ahead and played explaining they couldn't understand Shorty's orders anyway--you know he is inclined a little to the "Cheerio" and "01' Deah," version of our language. Shortj was a handy man to have around, however, to call the end of the periods because the boys did welcome a rest. The Lions are already clamoring for a re-match and if the ice holds up for a while you folks will have another chance to see these teams clash. The next regular meeting of the Bensenville Lions flub is scheduled for Tuesday evening, February 13. This occasion will mark the anniversary of the Charter night held on last Valentine's day and the Lions and their ladies are planning to fittingly commemorate the birthday with a dinner and dance-probably at the high school.

Details will bo available later. FLASH--Sunday, Feb. 4, another hockey game--The Firemen Squirts (City Champa) "ill engage WcNtbyV Gas House Gang, 2:30 n. m. West-end rink.
