About 100 Garden Club members and families picnicked in Schubert’s Woods. Fire Marshal John Towner set for Urbana conference. Cars were vandalized near the 211th Street IC station.

Russell Baron sprained an ankle at an E-5 Court party on rocks shown as lawn in Park Forest blueprints. This piece is by Magne B. Olson of the Park Forest Historical Society.
