For Presidency
McCloskey Hints
At Possibility of
"Skirmish" Next Yeor
Former Mayor Robert E. Pat-terson
was drafted as president of
the Economy Party at the annual
meeting last Friday night In the
Crystal Lake Hotel. He was elect-eel
to succeed Edmund C. Robson
who has been named a member
of the Village Board.
Mayor Worder E. Winne after
congratulating Mr. Patterson on
his election facetiously remarked:
"In the past the president of
thg Kconomy Party hae uventual-ly
become a candidate for.Village
Trustee, so In the next i'e\v years
v/o'Jl probably see Hob Patterson
running for that ot'i'ice again."
He added that it was not often
one who had spent ye;irs in of-fice,
would accept the post inn Mr.
Patterson had taken.
Republican Leader Joseph H.
McCloskey referred to the numer-ous
responsibilities Air. 1
had assumed, remarked:
f^iave^S^^i^
be In for a little skirmish next
year," and suggested that it would
be well to hold meetings and
keep things going In the mean-time.
Mayor Winne in his talk refer-red
to the budget and insisted the
board had done everything pos-sible
to keep expenses down this
year. Referring to the recent
budget hearing he contrasted the
slim attendance with the scene en-acted
a. year ago, and added:
"Only two or three persons took
port in the discussion, but they
were not there with an honest
motive. 'They were tl-ere to em-barrass
the board. We answered
their questions as beat we could,
but I don't know whether we sat-isfied
them. But we didn't expect
to satisfy them."
.•.,Dr. Herman C. Dunker spoke as
Chairman of the Civil Defense
Council. He predicted _that »s a
^result of the American bombing of
Japanese cities, the Axis powers
; would attempt to drop bombs in
this area. He spoke of the con-templated
surprise blackout and
advised everyone to have a room
prepared they could occupy during
any blackout.
The other officers elected with
President Patterson, Mrs. Anna
Z. Amberman and Frank D. Cur-ley,

Wherever it is necessary for the
government to take over property
for national defense, he said, he
would do ^nothing to oppose it.
"The thing that horrifies me," he
added, "is not what the War De-partment

the happiest during the past
twenty years."
He spoke of the alleged smoke
