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.

The prisoners drew a U.S. flag in cement, which still remains there today. Located at N41.5513, W87.61449. Take Interstate 394 South to Glenwood Dyre Rd exit turn right to St. Lawrence Ave. turn right to Glenwood Lansing Rd. then turn left to Cottage Grove st. (north) look for Sweet Woods Forest Preserve entrance on your left. park at the end of prking lot head past stone patio to trail entrance. 4) Also, from what I read Fort Sheridan, Illinois was a facility from which POWs were sent to other places.

Another thing you could try is contacting the police department in the section of town where it happened. If you live in the area you may have better luck if you visit papers and/or police in person.

Newspapers at the time: Chicago American, Chicago Daily News, Chicago SunTimes and the Tribune.

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.

What are father's rights in the state of Illinois?

GIVING UP PARENTAL RIGHTS

First, it should be understood that until court ordered, single fathers have NO ASSUMED PARENTAL RIGHTS. Financial responsibility and parental rights are not linked until he has applied to the court for permission to see his child(ren). What the father is doing is motioning the court to be released from current and future financial obligations, along with giving up the right to "PETITION" the court for Parental Rights.

Since they are the ones who actually carry to term and give birth to the child, ONLY MOTHERS have the universal right to voluntarily give her parental rights AND financial responsibility for her child(ren). Initially, after the day of birth, under State Safe Haven Laws, she can abandon her child, giving up all rights and responsible for said child (NO QUESTIONS ASKED) at any Hospital ER. After the Statute of Limitations under the Safe Haven Law, the mother can still give up her children to the State Division of Family Services. However, the father is still obligated to pay child support.

On the other hand, the male must seek the permission of the Court, AND the Mother, to give up his own financial responsibility.

Petitioning the courts to be absolved of financial responsibility can be time consuming, and expensive in terms of legal fees and court costs. Further, he could be obligated to pay for the mother's legal counsel. Further, if the mother is receiving Aid For Dependent Children (AFDC) or other State Aid for the children, not even the court has the authority to grant a motion to absolve the father of responsibility.
