Social worker compares English and Chicago family life
A London trained social worker, John Deakins of 1844 Harper, notes that Chicago families face stronger outside pressures than those in England. He cites Keeping up with the Joneses and social class factors as shaping parental roles and child development, and says maturity depends on internal security rather than appearance. He plans to return to England after further work in Chicago.

Group backs non profit housing plan in Hyde Park Kenwood
A coalition of Tenants and Home Owners urged the Hyde Park Kenwood Conservation Community Council and the Department of Urban Renewal to designate Cottage Grove 53rd to 54th for non profit moderate income redevelopment. James Twomey described a 139 unit proposal to serve families in the 61000 income range with 20 percent rent under the 221 d3 amendment offering 40 year low interest mortgages for nonprofit developments. The plan addresses a gap in housing between public housing and private construction amid prior criticism of the area’s urban renewal plan for not guaranteeing low and middle income housing.
