Where were the POW camps located in the Chicago area during World War 2?
1) Check this site: http://www.mtphistory.org/new_page_22.htm "Camp Pine - On the northwest boarder of what is today Mount Prospect is a Cook County forest preserve. On the eastern side of the Des Plaines River (near the intersection of Euclid and River Road) was a WWII German POW camp called Camp Pine. Around 200 German soldiers were held here through the war, living in 5 barracks with a mess tent. Many of them worked outside of the camp at local farms and some worked at Pesche's flowers. After the war, the buildings from this camp were used by girl and boy scout troops. We would like any information, memories, or photos of this camp, either as a POW camp or as a scout camp." 2) Also, http://vikingphoenix.com/guestbook/guestbook.html "I am looking for any information that is available regarding a German POW camp called Camp Pine that was just outside DesPlaines Illinois. It was one of several small camps in the Chicago area where prisoners were used on the farms to offset the man shortage due to the war. Control of these sattelite camps was handled through Fort Sheridan Illinois, a fort that is now dismantled. I have not been able to trace where the historical data kept at the fort museum went when the fort closed. Any information would be greatly appreciated about the fort records or especially Camp Pine.

Riots erupted in April 1968 as a reaction to?
... the Democratic National Convention. The city of Chicago was inundated with "hippies" who were politically active young adults of the time. They were resistant to laws, police, and the status quo. The "hippies" had unconventional ways of expressing their opinions, primarily in support of Senator McCarthy. For example, to express their opposition to Chicago Police, the hippies would drop baggies of feces from hotel windows on to officers below. When Senator McCarthy appeared in Grant Park to speak to his supporters, however, he was surrounded by a protective detail of Chicago Police officers (in plan clothes). When the convention activities eventually got out of hand, Mayor Richard J. Daley gave his famous order to the police, "shoot to kill."

Fire fighters often earn overtime for working extra shifts to maintain minimum staffing levels or for special emergencies.
Fire fighters receive benefits that usually include medical and liability insurance, vacation and sick leave, and some paid holidays. Almost all fire departments provide protective clothing (helmets, boots, and coats) and breathing apparatus, and many also provide dress uniforms. Fire fighters generally are covered by pension plans, often providing retirement at half pay after 25 years of service or if the individual is disabled in the line of duty.
