Wood Dale Beat JACHIMIKC That Aerosol Gas Beats a Stick Chicago police are being equipped with chemical Mace this month, but in the suburbs variations of the aerosol liquid tear gas have been used for some time. Wood Dale Police Chief Jack McGann and Sgt. Edward Windle have been using a disabling spray since last April when two other police officers were attacked.

Along with other members in the department, they are currently using Del-Defend, advertised as a self- defense aerosol that is highly irritating to the eyes and nose. Police in Wood Dale, however, will switch to chemical Mace according to McGann. There is no particular reason for the change other than to try something different, It costs about the same as other aerosol disabling a The aerosol spray is "more humane" than using a billy club on a drunk, says McGann, while adding that about 90 per cent of the victims of the chemical spray are persons who have had too much to drink. "It is better than betting him and it has no after effects." Mace is advertised as a "chemical irritant which slops, subdues, and causes profuse tearing." Its results are temporary and may be eased by flushing with cold water or baking soda. It is one of the popular disabling sprays on the market, perhaps due to its publicity in Chicago where a reporter for a radio station was hospitalized by its contents.

A controversy still exists on whether the effects of Mace are harmful to persons with respiratory ailments. Several other sprays exist and perform basically the same function. One product, however, adds a touch of ultraviolet dye to the chemical spray. It fluoresces under long-range "black light'' and is designed for use in identifying rioters, There is more to the aerosol sprays than is advertised by manufacturers. Patrolman Raymond Richard says that just displaying the aerosol can has a psychological effect on people.

When a rowdy person sees a police officer holding the can he fears it might be used on them, says Richard. He adds that the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People NAACP) has come out in favor of the use of Mace by police instead of nightsticks. "It leaves no permanent effects," said Richard. Sgt.

Windle said he used the aerosol spray recently. After he sprayed the victim in the face, Windle said the subject shrugged his head, went into a crouch, and began to cry. works." Windle said, "but it is not what they say it is," iMcGunii agreed, saying that It will not knock a man down but that it will disable him. Maximum effective range is 20 feet, said McGann, adding that another product advertises that it is effective within 33 feet. For maximum effect, police spray the chemical directly into the face of the victim, usually a five-to-ten-second blast.

While the chemical sprays are being substituted for guns and nightsticks police cannot count on them to do wonders. Weapons are still needed to apprehend criminals who cavort with guns of their own.

(Staff Photos) Gets 1 to 3 Years In Burglary Case Lawrence Norton, 18, of rural Lombard, has been sentenced to one to three years in a state penitentiary for involvement in a teen-gang burglary operation allegedly concentrated in the Itasca-Medinah area. The sentence was handed down Monday by Associate Circuit Court Judge Leroy Rechen- macher in DuPage County Circuit Court. Norton was being tried under two separate indictments. One was handed down by -a DuPage Grand Jury Feb. 13, charging him with the Oct.

31 burglary of the Howard P. Morgan home, 321 W. Bloomingdale Road, Itasca. It was to that charge, of taking furs and other valuables, that he pleaded guilty before Rechenmacher March 15. On March 21, a grand jury again indicted Norton for burglary, this time of the home of Shigeo and Michiko Koga, 312 Marilyn, Glendale Heights.

He was said have taken cash and jewelry, which later was dredged from the east branch of the DuPage River by scuba-diving DuPage County deputies. Also pending against Norton are charges that he attempted to escape from DuPage deputies while in their custody at Naperville Road and Willow Street, Wheaton, on Jan. 13. According to Deputy James Baker, on that date Norton al- egedly fled from arresting officers while being taken to DuPage County jail. JUST PRIOR to that incident, Norton was charged with disorderly including shouting and using profane language against Baker, while being stopped for questioning at Route 53 and Roosevelt Road, Glen Ellyn.

The questioning was in con- nection with still another charge --that of driving on a suspended license in Glen Ellyn Jan. 12. At the time of Norton's arresl on charges of burglary, he was said to have master-minded a teen-gang burglary operation in at least 10 DuPage communities. According to Sgt. Milton Rowe of the DuPage sheriff's office, Norton made statements concerning burglaries i netted more than $4,000 in household items, jewelry and clothing.

He was picked up first by Chicago police, Oct. 31, for a traffic violation. About $2,000 in stolen goods and a pistol allegedly were found in his car. Two 16-year-olds, arrested with Norton, have been declared delinquents and have been made wards of the DuPage Circuit Court.

The $5 million ceiling is merely a "shortcut" in getting federal funds, Hanson said. Any request for over this amount could cause the entire project to be delayed by Congressional reivew, he said. A FIVE-YEAR span may be necessary to carry out the program, said Paul Warrick, watershed river basin planning party leader fo rthe Soil Conservation Service. The steering committee had been asked by U.S. Rep.

John N. Erlenborn (R-14th Dist.) last April to prepare a preliminary investigation as a prerequisite to federal funds for Salt Creek improvement. He asked that cost-benefit ratio be prepared plus consideration of conservation and recreation benefits. Deciding to proceed in getting federal funds Wednesday, the steering committee must seek a sponsor for an application. The boards of comissioners of Cook and DuPage counties was suggested.

THE STATE Division of Wa- Ask Holt's Release For Trial in Theit A writ of habeas corpus was issued Tuesday by the DuPage County state's attorney's office asking the warden of Illinois State Farm in Vandalia to release Dewaine Holt for a jury trial in DuPage next Wednesday. Holt, 22, formerly of Chicago, and Cecilio Berrios, 21 of Chicago, face an indictment charging them with attempted theft last Sept. 21 of the Green Street Food Store in Bensenville. Asst. State's Atty.

Edward Kowal said Holt was sentenced to the state prison farm for a Cook County felony. HOLT WAS released from DuPage County jail in December by Associate Circuit Court Judge Leroy Rechenmacher after his relatives posted bond. His release was granted under protest by Kowal, who said he felt Holt should remain in custody. Kowal demanded of Holt a regular account of activities and whereabouts. In a preliminary hearing last Chief Magistrate James Fitzgerald refused to reduce Holt's bond, in order to keep him in custody.

The defendant was convicted in 1966 for a 1965 burglary of Itasca Pharmacy. He was paroled from a two-year sentence just prior to his Bensenville arrest last September. terways has a three- point project to construct a 450-acre storage reservoir in Busse Woods near Elk Grove Village, the lowering of Salt Creek four feet from Addison to Hinsdale and the installation of a bypass at Fullersburg Dam in Hinsdale. The Sanitary District plans to install reservoir basins on Salt Creek's east and west branches in Palatine Township and a water reclamation plant in' Schaumburg. Another $550,000 in state funds came under a special bill for widening and deepening of the waterway from Euclid Avenue to 1,000 feet south of Central Road, Arlington Heights.

An additional appropriation is being sought for flood control work into Palatine, where the lowering Tf a railway culvert near Northwest Highway is considered vital to fl xJ relief.

He has two brothers, Charles Vonesh, Riverside, and Michael Vonesh of Guatemala.

His sister, Mrs. John P. Thomas, lives in Houston, Tex. THE NEW bishop was ordained May 3, 1941, by the late Samuel Cardinal Stritch at St. Mary of the Lake Seminary Chapel, Mundelein, where he earned his master's degree.

He also studied at the Gregorian University, Rome, and speaks fluent Italian. The ancient ceremonies of consecration, now in English, were divided into four parts: The prelude, the consecration proper, the presentation of the insignia of office and the conclusion. All of this took place within the Mass. Motto of the new Bishop Vonesh is "Love Rooted in Faith." The Joliet Diocese was established in 1949 by Pope Pius XII, making it the 101st diocese of the United States. I consists of seven counties: Will, DuPage, Kendall, a a Grundy, Ford and Iroquois.

The first bishop was Martin D. McNamara, who died in 1966, when Bishop Blanchette was installed. Today 431 diocesan and religious priests now serve about 300,000 persons in 105 parishes. THE ENTIRE consecrating ceremony was carried live over Joliet radio station WJOL-FM Bishop Primeau, who delivered the homily in the consecration ceremony, defined the life of a bishop as having three dimensions: 'In the life of the bishop, God must truly be number one. The bishop by his office is in a very special sense the extension of Christ in the world.

'In the life of the bishop, his people must have the second place. 'Number three in this triumvirate is the bishop himself. Sclerosis can occur in the spiritual life. The ever-increasing demands made upon the bishop leave him precious little time for the intellectual and spiritual pursuits he must have if he is to give intelligent and effective leadership to those whom he serves. 'A BISHOP must adamantly free himself ftom the constant demands of administration long enough to replenish his intellectual and spiritual life, for without this power he will be a dull and ineffective instrument of God's plan." Catholic colleges in the Joliet Diocese have a total enrollment of 3,300 students.

Enrollment in the 11 private and parochial high schools totals 6,526 students. Two of the high schools, Driscoll and Montini, opened in September, 1966. A total of 30,042 students are enrolled in the 76 elementary and one kindergarten schools in the diocese. St. Charles Borromeo seminary in Lockport, which educates young men of high school and college ages for the priesthood began classes in September 1965.

NOW Elmhurst Road Work Moved Up The planned widening of Elm hurst Road from Devon Avenue to Golf Road, hopefully will begin in June after a two-year step up in programming by the Cook County Highway Department. The work to make Elmhurst Road a consistent four-1 a roadway had been scheduled for 1970. It was set ahead because of the state division of highways' project to improve Rt. 83 next summer. According to Casimir Davidson, highway engineer, an improved Elmhurst Road will help carry north-south traffic when Rt.

83-Busse Road is widened. According to Henry Yamana ka, design engineer for state division of highways, the state project's contract will be let in October or November. Paving will be done next summer. 2-Year Probation Given to Garza In Narcotic Case Armando G. Garza, 25, formerly of Bensenville and now of Lake Zurich, was given two years' probation this week after pleading guilty to charges of unlawful possession of narcotic drugs.

Wood Dale police arrested Garza for a traffic violation Nov. 12, and found marijuana cigarettes in his possession. He was indicted by a DuPage County Grand Jury in December. INFORMATION provided by Garza at the time of his arrest led Wood Dale and Bensenville police to a raid on the clubhouse of the League of United Latin American Citizens, 307 E. Irving Park Road, Bensenville.

The discovery of more marijuana there resulted in a suspension of the club's liquor license by Bensenville officials. I REMEMBER THC OLD TIMER From Lucy Jones House, Leesbuig, Florida: I remember when, the first car of coal came into our township in the early 1880's a half ton limit to each family. Neighbor visited neighbor to discuss their many experiences and to be shown the half ton of black diamonds sharing a corner of the wood lot, fully as wonderful in those times as the first astronaut ride in the 1960's. Coal pushed the ash hopper out of business. The ash.

from stoves and fireplaces was carefully preserved for the making of soft soap in the spring. Hard soap was yet a coming novelty. I remember the first bar of "Bouten" soap in the neighborhood. Only the wealthier families those in the $5,000 class, enjoyed the privilege. I only knew one family in that class.

Were we happy? Yes. What pou don't know doesn't hurt was born at Livingston, Illinois, Jane 26th, 1876. DAVIDSON SAID the county is hurrying plans to get state approval so improvements can be started by the construction season and in this year. Plans are for four-lane pavement with mountable four-foot medium strips. Intersections at Devon Avenue, Oakton Street, Algonquin Road and Golf Road will be channeled with left turn lanes and left turn traffic signals.

The intersection at Dempster Street along Elmhurst now has this channelization. Davidson said he has no cost figure on the project. Elmhurst Road south of Devon Avenue is called York Road and has 1 existing four-lane traffic. Rt. 83-Busse Road improvements call for six lane from Devon Avenue to Oakton Street, to be done by the state division of highways.

Cook County will begin at Oakton Street and widen Busse Road to four lanes to Road.
