CHICAGO UPI — Elgin persons, including five members of one family, died today in a fire that swept through a four-story apartment hotel building. Mrs. Doris Mae Stevens and her four children perished in the fire while the father. Theodore Stevens, ran from the apartment to turn in the alarm. The children were John. 16. Dennis, 12. Gene. 4, and Pamela Sue, 2. The three other victims from other apartments were Sophia Cohen, 69, James A. Brasher. 62. and Mae Haran. 75. Stevens said he was alerted to the fire when he returned from work as a night janitor and heard a woman from another apartment screaming for help. He said he woke his wife and told her to get the children to safety while he called the fire department. Stevens said he left the apartment and when he returned, smoke and flames prevented him from getting back in. Bars on all the windows in the Stevens apartriient prevented them from jumping out. Pamela Sue was found huddled against a barred window’.

and Owen Counties, Harold Stewart led Charles Edwards 281 to 140. Carl Arnold was reelected Auditor by a ten vote margin over Eston Cooper. Claude Malayer and Faye Scott dueled it out until Malayer emerged from the fray with 223 votes to become the Commissioner of the 1st District. Jesse Williams lost out to Richard Huffman in the race for Commissioner of the 3rd District by a seventeen vote margin. It may have been a mock-up but if readers will compare the results with those of the actual election, they may have a bit of a surprise. It is interesting to note that children will usually vote with influence from the home.

The five local past presidents of the League, Mrs. Vernon Elmore, Mrs. Robert Loring, Mrs. Clark Norton, Mrs. Charles Rector, Jr., and Mrs. John Ricketts, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Rector, have been actively planning the anniversary activities. Mrs. Eugene Pharis, National Board member from Webster Groves, Missouri, has been invited by the committee to be the main speaker. An original skit depicting the projects of the League during the past ten years is being written by the committee and will also be part of the program. Mrs. Robert Farber, Mrs. Howard Burkett, Mrs. Lawren Goodhue, Mrs. Charles Poe, and Mrs. Laurel Turk are making arrangements for the dinner.
