Fire Breaks Chain for 3 Generations
Cherished thoughts of representatives of three generations having graduated from the Savanna Community High School in Chicago Avenue, come June, went up in smoke as the building was destroyed by fire Friday night.
Mrs. Bert Fuller, a 1907 graduate of the school, was saddened by the disaster, along with the fact that her dream would not now come true.
As Marie Antil she, with graduates of 50 years ago, went forward to receive her diploma in the school, now a burned out ruin.
Then her son, W. R. Fuller, as a member of the class of 1929, was awarded his diploma from the school. He returned later to become the music director there.
Fuller's daughter, Miss Julie, is a member of this year's graduating class, displaced along with the balance of the student body, as the building was surrendered to the advancing flames.
So, here the chain must break.
Julie's mother Jeanne, also is a Savanna high school graduate.

Crawford Tells Importance Of Individual
Bov. `3, `950-age 12
"The Importance of Being Men" was the subject of Dr. Neil Crawford, formerly of the faculty of Shimer college in Mount Carroll and now pastor of the First Presbyterian church in Oregon, who addressed the American Legion's father and son banquet Monday night in the Legion home.
The speaker was introduced by T. S. Cleworth of Milledgeville, formerly of Savanna, who acted as master of ceremonies.
Ninety-five persons including members of the Auxiliary in charge of the dinner, were served at the banquet.
Three Points
Early in his talk Dr. Crawford said that he hoped to make three points, first, "all men are important," second, "no man is important to all men," and third, "you and your dad are all important to each other,"
Dwelling at some length on the point that all men are important. Dr. Crawford urged each young man present to realize that he, himself, is not insignificant. He told the story of the poor Mexican boy alone in New York City, without funds, and taken sick. The Mexican lad was ill with pneumonia, in a cheap lodging house. The ill and friendless lad was nursed to health by a few women from across the street who, learning of his case, came in and gave their help.
The young man became an admirer of the United States and all the United States democracy stands for, Dr. Crawford said.
Aid to U. S.
Years later, during World War II the United States was striving to gain the support of the Latin American countries, so that adequate protection could be built up against possible invasion by Germany from Africa along the north of south America. It was due greatly to the efforts of the secretary of state of Mexico, who made personal visits by plane to the countries of South America, that the South American nations took action with the United States. Ezekiel Padilla, the secretary of state of Mexico, had been the poor Mexican boy ill in New York City., who was befriended by a few women.
"Nobody knows when an act of neighborly kindness will have a world-shattering effect," Dr. Crawford said.
Then he told of the sentry under Montcalm who left his post and got drunk resulting in the loss of the French hold in North America, perhaps influencing the whole development of our North American civilization.
After sdvising the young men present at the meeting against living in a world of their own importance-in their own minds-Dr. Crawford argued the importance of the young mand and his dad to each other.
Accordion Numbers
The program opened with Miss Jane Hathaway playing three accordion numbers, "Patrotic Medley", "Simple Melody", and "Good Night Irene".
Barber Quartet
Several selections were presented by the Old Mill chapter's barbershop quartet composed of Sylvester W. Alden, Savanna, bass, and Chick Engles, tenor, John Diehl, lead, and Joe Engels, baritone, all of Lanark. The numbers sung were "Hello to Everybody", "Coney Island Baby", "Kentucky Babe", and "Moon Indigo".
Preceding the serving of the dinner the group sang the first verse of "America" and Mr. Cleworth gave the blessing.
Baked Ham Supper
A supper was served at 6:30 to 95 persons by members of the American Legion auxiliary unit.
The menu included baked ham, buttered whipped potatoes, scalloped corn, cabbage salad, cranberry relish, strawberry preserves, sweet pickles, hot buttered rolls, ice cream and wafers, and coffee.
Mrs. Logan Machen was the kitchen chairman. The food committee was Mrs. Ralph Hanson, Mrs. Clyde E. Kinney, Mrs. E. D. Gantert, Mrs. Everald Foltz, Mrs.Arden Saforek, Mrs. G. H.
