Mary Louise Worner argues that human litter and public trash harm neighborhoods as much as dog waste. She urges balancing blame with owners and urges cleaner streets while noting the editor’s stance that masters, not dogs, cause most litter.
Fox argues the biographical sketch of Thurber in The War Between Men and Women is a fraud but the reviewer sees value in the film. The piece highlights the film’s portrayal of adults and children negotiating need amid dehumanizing conflicts, offered in humor and sensitivity.
A reader condemns the ice cream man for loud sidewalk music arguing stores ban noisy sales tactics. They propose three remedies including turning off the music, lowering volume, or changing tunes weekly.
Letter argues that the Point and its parking area are reserved for Bongo players and their supporters. It notes a past permit by the 21st district for Bongo playing and calls for withdrawing that permit. The writer suggests granting permits to other lakefront areas to avoid objections to instrumental music.
Alfred D. Klinger M.D. argues some people suffer what he calls people blindness. He contrasts tolerance of mechanical noise on the Outer Drive with aversion to bongo drums and natural sounds.
A reader argues that lakefront and park access belong to everyone but objects to noise and pollution infringing on public enjoyment. They compare unwanted sound to dog litter and drum music, urging private listening options and warning against public ball play on crowded beaches.
A swimmer from the Point requests name withholding after alleging targeted attacks on their group. They question the safety reports by Hellaine Billings, citing repeated damage at toilets and a torn down phone booth, and note both Black and White residents seek help while Mrs. Billings is seen walking the Point.
The City Council last week reaffirmed it does not guarantee sex discrimination bans in hiring by voting on a resolution. A motion to discharge a proposal to amend the ordinance to outlaw sex discrimination failed to advance, triggering parliamentary disputes led by Aldermen Keane Despres and Simon over proper process.
Keane avoids dispute as Simon loses point of order and Holman sustains it. Two dissenters Simpson and Lawlor oppose the weak nonbinding resolution. Mayor’s forces dodge merits vote in an election year. Chicago may still discriminate against women without violating city ordinances.
