Conlisk Shows the Way
Reprinted by permission of the Chicago Sun-Times
Police Supt. Conlisk has pledged a fuJI and busy summer for
70,000 city children who otherwise might stew in street-corner idleness
or be lured into anti-social diversions.
It is a sound, constructive plan and the proper agency has
undertaken it. With policemen in the role of good guys in charge
of sports and other recreation, the stereotype of the policeman as
enemy might go by the wayside. Few things could be of more
importance to the city than a rapport between youth and the police.
Part of Conlisk's ambitious project is a massive hunt for jobs for
youths over 16. This will demand co-operation on the part of
community groups and businessmen, and the importance of such
co-operation cannot be over-emphasized. Edwin C. Berry, executive
secretary of the Chicago Urban League, noted that "if I had to
pick out the single, most important thing we can do today to insure
a cool summer, I would say it is to provide jobs in quantity for
this age group."
No program of any size directed at youth can solve the complex
of problems that makes such a program essential-poor housing,
inadequate schools, unemployment, family disruption. Solutions to
these ills require an unwavering state and national commitment.
Cities such as Chicago cannot do the job alone. Chicago, however,
can underscore its own commitment to bettering the lives of its
citizens in every possible way, and the Conlisk project is evidence
of what can be done.

other schools take part, and then there
are tournaments and playoffs and intermural
and intramural competitions.
"I couldn't possibly do it all if I didn't
have a wonderful wife," says Greco.
"Sometimes I spend 30 to 40 hours a
week on it. It's a lot more than just
coaching; it's organizing, getting equipment,
uniforms, transporting kids, making
literally hundreds of phone calls, and
so on."
Greco has been working with kids for
years.
"Before I started on the job-that was
10 years ago-I was working with the
North Austin Boys' Club. B.ut when ]
started recruit school, I had to drop it,
and for a few years, I wasn't active in
any organized way. Then I got into the
program at Our Lady of Grace. I'm also
involved in the YMCA, and I've been
helping Jehovah Lutheran School.
"When we have our games at Our Lady
of Grace, kids from other schools come
around and watch. You feel like you're
eating candy and not giving them any,
so you tell 'em to come on, join in. Kids
need so much ..."
Originally, he organized only a football
team. "But the kids begged me,
'How about baseball?' Then the girls
wanted volleyball. Then gym classes."
In addition to all this, he's now started
adult volleyball classes. However; he admits
to an ulterior motive here. If he
can get more parents interested in the
sports program, maybe some of them will
give him a little much needed help.
TLMN. LARRY REED, 1st District,
Phas been a basketball coach at Chatham
YMCA for the last seven years. His
team members, who range in age from
about 16 to 20 years, number about 20.
His team won the City basketball title
in the men's division and go to Peoria
for the state playoffs. If they win in
Peoria, they'll go on for the national
championship at Youngstown, Ohio.
They stand a good chance. They won
the state championship last year. But that
was as high as they could go because
there was no national tournament.
PTLMN. BILL HANNON, 8th District,
begins his sixth year as manager
and coach of the Bogan Little League.
This year he is expanding to five divisions:
the Pee Wees, 8- and 9-year- otds; the
Minors, 9- and 10-year-olds; the Majors,
11- and l2-year-olds; the Broncos, 13and
14-year-olds; and the new division,
the Ponies, the IS-and 16-year-olds. During
the season, says Hannon, he spends
two or three nights a week practicing,
and Saturdays and Sundays playing.

VERY FRIDAY for a few hours, Sgt.
E Horace Noble, 7th District Corrununity
Service Sergeant, and Cadels Andrew
Allen, Allen Havlicek and Richard
Brady, Community Service Officers,
change hats. They become assistant teachers,
providing extra instruction for about
60 youngsters who are slow learners.
They work with the children on general
grade school subjects, English, math, history,
etc., at Kelly Library, 6200 S.
Normal.
That's only one of the ways these four
work with youngsters-though possibly
it's the most unusual. They also go out to
each school in the 7th District and meet
with volunteer patrol boys, eXplaining
patrol duties and showing them movies.
In addition, they have a large Junior
Patrolman program, and have sworn in
500 to 700 youngsters.
N-DUTY, Del. Tony Rigoni fights
O narcotics trafflc and use. He's in
the Vice Control Division, Narcotics section.
Off-duty, he is likely to be urging
his team on to battle-on the football
field.
His football team is made up of 7th
and 8th graders from Beede Grammar
School.
"I had played college football," says
Rigoni. "When the Parish began 13 years
ago, Father asked me to form a football
team. 1 was given a grand total of $100
and asked to organize and equip a team.
Now we have 50 fully equipped boys."
Last year, Rigoni's team went undefeated
and won the Southwest Catholic
Grammar School Championship.
ON AND OFF-DUTY, Pllmn. James
Frawley, 13th District, has been
working witb youngsters.
"I keep a running dialogue with kids,"
says Frawley. "I'm always at hand by
phone if they want to contact me. We
have meetings together and I've gained
their confid ence."
Frawley has been very active with a
group known as the Northtown Teens.
Most of the members of this group originally
were part of an "anti-social, antipolice"
gang. The Northtown Teens
broke off from this group and set up
their own Center. A few months ago, the
Center was in financial trouble. Without
rent money, the kids would soon be back
on the street. A volunteer worker with
the group, Mrs. Mae Momney, asked
Frawley for help. He contacted the Milwaukee-Ashland
Business Association and
the local newspaper, the Northwest Herald,
published by Arthur H . Weiss. An
advisory council made up of businessmen,
school representatives and the Commission
on Youth Welfare was formed. Funds
were obtained through interested citizens.
The Center is equipped with power
saws and other machinery for making
cabinets to sell to raise funds for the
Center.
Frawley has also been active with the
group called the Latin Kings. Recently
they opened a grocery store in an unused
building. Frawley found a local businessman
willing to donate a glass door. He
brought over a carton of eggs-paid for
out of his pocket-and fixed their hot
water heater, using his own tools, pipes
and other equipment.
GT. JOHN CUSAK, 5th District, has
S a very special interest in working
with retarded youngsters. He has a retarded
child himself. Cusak is President
of the Parents Association of West Pullman
Park, where a recreational program
for retarded youngsters was set up.
"Up until three years ago," says Cusak,
"it was ridiculous to dream of sending
your child to a park to play. Everything
has to be kind of special for the retarded
child."
The program was set up by the Park
District, and the parents have organized
to raise funds, assist the Park District instructor
in forming programs, setting up
bus trips, accompanying children on trips
to zoos, go swimming with them, etc.
"The kids just vegetated before this
program was started," says Cusak. "Now
they're getting out into the stream of life."
I
T GETS A LITTLE noisy on the top
floor of the 15th District station sometimes,
especially between 11 a.m. and 2
p.m. on Saturdays. That's when youngsters
of grammar school age-158 so far
-meet to take lessons in boxing from
Pllmn. William Calabrese. North Austin
Boys' Club sponsored bouts are held, and
on April 24th there are the finals. complete
with trophies and T-shirts.
Calabrese also coaches 40 youngsters
in basketball, and in the fall he coaches
about 200 to 300 grammar school kids
in football, part of the NABC program.
He's proud of his team-last year his
kids traveled to Colorado, before that to
Kentucky and to Michigan, picking up
championships.
P TLMN.
LEONARD UGOREK, 15th
District, started scouting in 1927as
a Boy Scout himself. He's been
involved in it ever since.
He has been Scoutmaster of River
Grove Moose Lodge Troop 140 in the
Austin District for the past nine years.
He plans programs and activities and
goes on outings with the youngsters, and
every year he takes his Scouts to a camp
in Waupaca, Wisconsin.
But beyond that, he's what is known
as Boy Scout Coordinator in his District.
He helps others in the area get Boy Scout

14 CHICAGO pOLlCE STAR
Mrs. Lenora Cartright is Director of Community Relations
for the Cook County Public Aid Department. Community
Relations is a relatively new program-organized about a
year and a half ago.
Mrs. Cartright was born and raised in Chicago and attended
Chicago's "parochial, public and private" schools.
She received a Bachelors degree from the University of
Chicago and one from Roosevelt University and a Master
of Social Work degree at Loyola University. She taught
one year at the University of Chicago in the Laboratory
School and has been with the Public Aid Department for
eight years. Her experience in the Public Aid Department
includes work as a vocational counselor, as a training supervisor,
and in the staff development section.
INTERVIEW
Mrs. Lenora Cartright
Q. What is the Community Relations program of the
Public Aid Department, and why was it set up?
A. The Department felt that we needed a program which
would enable us to establish and maintain a different kind
of communication with public aid recipients. A communication
oriented to the social action of the 1960's. A program
in which we would "reach out" to the community and become
directly involved in its total activities.
We have 14 staff members who have backgrounds as public
assistance case workers, working in the Community Relations
program, called Community Relations Liaison Workers.
They know the needs in the various communities. Some
are assigned to Urban Progress Centers as well as Public
Aid District offices. They go out and meet with people
in the various communities where there are many public
assistance recipients, through .block clubs, tenant groups,
welfare unions, church groups, school groups etc. They
interpret the policy and procedure of the Cook County
Department of Public Aid to the general public and to
specific groups. They help to educate recipients about their
rights and responsibilities as members of our society. They
encourage recipients to involve themselves in things like PTA,

Police-Community workshops, Leadership Training programs,
Adult Education classes and other community activilies from
which they have been excluded and have excluded themselves.
Six District Citizen Advisory Boards have been set up.
Plans are to have boards in practically everyone of the
12 District offices and nine housing offices. They were set
up because there was the feeling that people might speak
more freely in a group where they were more or less anonymous
rather than to an individual caseworker.
There is a need for our recipients to cooperate with us
in working out programs, not our handing programs to them.
We can achieve more positive results if we listen to them
and respond to their concerns about Public Assistance.
Sometimes people just need someone to listen to them. The
Advisory Board provides this, an oppoitunity for the community
to be heard. We in public agencies must develop thick
skins, we must listen to a lot of criticism and respond to it
in a constructive manner. It's not just the what of public
aid programs; it's also the how. The how of the delivery of
services to recipients. That is, treating the recipient as an
equal, greeting him by name, not by a number, noticing
the children, being concerned about what their concerns are
-just treating them as fellow human beings.
These Advisory Boards were meant to let public aid
recIpients tell us what's right and what's wrong with our
programs and procedures.
Q. Are other agencies involved in your Community
Relations program?
A. At first, the Citizen Advisory Boards were meant to
be made up of only public aid recipients. After a while,
they wanted representatives of the whole community­
Health, Board of Education, Police Department.
Sgt. Hamp McMikel, 11 th District Community Service
Sergeant, came out to talk to one Advisory Board about their
rights as well as responsibilities as citizens and was very
well received.
We also work with the National Council of Christians and
Jews, the League of Women Voters, the Youth Action program,
Urban League, Catholic Human Relations Board,
other church groups, the Boy Scouts, Settlement Houses,
Youth Centers. By establishing communication with the
community relations departments of these organizations, such
as the Police, the Board of Education, you find certain
areas you have never thought about being involved in, and
find also there is no reason at all why you shouldn't be
involved in these areas.
Q. In what other ways is Public Aid involved with
the Police Department?
A. Eight of our community relations people participated
in the Conference for Police District Workshop Steering
Committees in January. I definitely believe there should be
a Public Aid Community Liaison worker on every Workshop
Steering Committee.
Our Community Liaison workers attend and participate in
the Police-Community Workshop in their areas and share
detailed reports on what has happened in these meetings. We
feel that our Agency has established a more meaningful
communication with the Police Department. They are sharing
their concerns with us, and we are sharing our concerns
with them in a more active manner.
I would like to see our basic program understood by every
policeman. For example, many apparently believe Public
Aid recipients must be taken only to Cook County Hospital.
We have agreements with many private hospitals, and
recipients can be taken there.
Q. Are there any specific results from this program'!
A. In one area, there were a lot of complaints about a
teenage hangout. The matter was brought to the Advisory
Board in our Garfield district office, and through the cooperation
of Commander George Sims, 11 th District, and
Deputy Chief Samuel Nolan, Community Services Division,
the place was closed.
We were being bombarded (about two years ago) by
attacks from welfare rights organizations, welfare union, and
community organizations picketing, and even staging sit-ins
in our offices. In the past year, we have been relatively free
of this. I think it's the result of having our doors open to
all groups now.
The interview was briefly interrupted by a phone call
which graphically illustrated the cooperation between the
Police and Public Aid Department. There was possible
trouble at a high school over teaching of Negro history by
a white teacher. Sgt. Robert Breckenridge, Community Service
Sergeant in the 2nd District, had alerted Mrs. Cartright
and her staff to the situation two days earlier.
The Public Aid Department was involved because the
school was attended by many youngsters who lived in nearby
CHA buildings and receive public assistance. Now it appeared
there could be trouble. Mrs. Cartright called one of
her Community Liaison workers and asked him to go out
there and talk to the kids, and try to help in whatever way
he could. Then she called Lt. Robert Williams, Human Relations
section of the Police Department, who was already
on top of the situation and was sure it was under control.
Q. Is this typical of cooperation between you and
other agencies?
A. The Public Aid Department, the Police Department,
the Board of Education, must all work together on problems
like this. The kids are confused too. Agencies must provide
an outlet such as Human Relations Workshops, structured
situations. These kids need that mean'ingful communication.
I've been very encouraged to see youngsters attend these
Citizen Advisory Board meetings with their parents. It's
important to reach these youngsters to remove the stigma of
receiving public assistance; they see the Agency as being
concerned in their total life.
We have to get out into the various communities and
listen to the people, listen to find out where the needs are
and respond to them with the resources of our agency. You
can't go out with the solution; there are very few concrete
solutions. Problems must be solved together. *
APRIL, 1968 15

the Hilton ten minutes early. Plans had called for the President
to go to his top floor suite and then down to the ballroom.
Instead, he decided to go straight to the reception.
That meant extra men had to be rushed to the ballroom
immediately, instead of moving into position while the
President was upstairs.
The motorcade joined the parade at 7: 20, five minutes
behind schedule. Tagged 71A in the 71st unit of the 112-unit
parade, the motorcade reached the Stadium at 8: 20, almost
on time. The speech-making lasted one hour, and at 9:22,
the President was back on the Expressway, headed for the
airport. Most of the 2373 policemen were relieved when
the bubble car reached O'Hare at 10 p.m. The Presidential
plane was airborne 20 minutes later-with the President
aboard.
THINGS HAVE certainly changed. Let's go back, not
four years, but 75 years, to the spring of 1893 and
the Columbian' Exposition.
The White City fair grounds, now Jackson Park, covered
600 acres. More than 27 million pe,ople--or half the population
of the country at the time-visited the Exposition
during the first six months. The crowds came by one-horse
hansom cab, carriage, cable car, the new elevated steam
railway, and steamboat. Naturally, the President was on
hand. How did the police force of 1893 handle the situation?
The Big Plan
There were meetings, of course. The Exposition had its
own Secret Service, with authority from the State. When
the police and Secret Service put their heads together, they
came up with one of the most imaginative security plans of
all time. The idea was simple: recruit out-of-state policemen
to recognize out-of-state criminals. As Secret Service Chief
John Bonfield explained in the North American Review,
1893:
"The men are assigned to duty in pairs so that no two
men from the same geographical section shall travel together.
The arrangement doubles the detective capacity of
the men, and at the same time gives them the advantage of
a study of each other's methods. The San Francisco officer
points out the criminals from his section of the country,
and the London officer in turn is ready to receive criminals
from home, and to see to it that his companion knows them
well enough to remember them when he sees them again."
So letters were sent out to cities of 25,000 or more, asking
for two policemen from each city, transportation and expenses
to be paid by the Exposition. More than 600 men
were recruited.
In the meantime, the City Council approved "a large increase"
in the police force and training began immediately.
Explained R. W. McClaughry, General Superintendent of
Police:
"Schools of instruction for officers and patrolmen have
been maintained in all the stations. Special efforts have been
made throughout the past year to rid the force of unworthy
and useless members. The new recruits have been mustered
in only after rigid examination and careful inspection."
Protectors of the Fairgrounds-Chicago police of the 1890's.
Scientific Methods
The Bertillon system of identification-measuring head,
feet, ears and other body parts-had been adopted three
years before and was slated for heavy use.
"Nearly every known criminal who is likely to visit Chicago
during the World's Fair is 'on record,' and will find
himself 'registered' before selecting his hotel," wrote Mc­
Claughry. "When a suspicious character is arrested he will
receive the hospitality of the city and the benefit of the
Bertillon system."
The fairground was divided into six districts, each district
with its own station and a telephone connecting it with the
central station at the Chief's Headquarters. An officer in
citizen's clothes was stationed at every gate. More officers
patrolled the grounds.
"And if, in spite of these chances against him, he picks a
pocket or attempts to steal anything, an alarm will find
the gates at every point of exit furnished with a description
of the offender. Such an alarm practically shuts the criminal
within a trap where nothing but the most remarkable good
luck on his part can save him from detection, arrest and
punishment," boasted Chief Bonfield.
What a difference three-quarters of a century can make. *

Softball
Another great season looms on the
horizon. Play starts on Saturday, 13
May, and continues every Saturday in
Grant Park. Wouldn't it be great to
have a team from every District? It's a
great way to get in or stay in shape.
Also, it gives you a chance to take the
wife and kids out on Saturday. (P.S.
They can see the Museum, Planetarium
and Aquarium, too.)
Golf
Our 3rd Annual Intra-Department
Golf Tournament starts on 6 May. You
play where and when you want. And
if you're a golfer, you might as well
play for some fine trophies-and maybe
a surprise. Get in on this.
