Smith Named To Civil Defense Post Police Chief to Leave Post for Another Job Members of council's police committee were notified this week that Chief of Police Carl Wenrich had applied for another position and wanted to be relieved of his duties in the near future. Wenrich has been chief of police here since Nov., 1946, having had military and industrial experience previously No definite date was set by Wenrich for his leaving the village post. He pointed out that hn thought it fair for the mayor and council to know that he anticipated taking another position so that some thought could be devoted to procuring another chief for the department. Parker Miller, employed for the past year as extra- policeman, also resigned this week, staling that other duties prevented his spending the time formerly devoted to police duties. No action has been taken by council to fill either post. The new police chief and any extra policemen will be appointed by mayor, subject to council approval. Mayor Hogrefe stated that any local men interested in police duty should put in their applications for his consideration. w i 17 11 linrDara V Oilmen 7 Will Reiffn at Football Game Tonight 4' Y .V Miss Barbara Vollmer, daudi- Inr nf Mr fil T,..- n..
