for applications, permits, fees, prohibitions
and penalties for violations was presented and read in full.
Two letters were read from a resident of Todd Court, complaining of
conditions resulting from the Pink Panther dances held at the American Legion
Building. A petition protesting against the re- licensing of the Pink Panther
was received, signed by 48 residents, most of whom live in the immediate
vicinity.
President Finney reported he and a nearby resident had inspected damage
done to pribvate •property when a car was driven through a fence and shrubbery,
crossing a spaded garden and lawn and out a private driveway on Todd Court.

Motion carried unanimously.
Several residents complained of nuisances resulting from the Pink
Panther dances, including the litter of beer cans and bottles, noise,
parked cars and traffic. One expressed approval of the proposed ordinance.
It was pointed out that the management employs:: three off -duty policemen
to maintain order inside and outside the building. The proposed license
fee would permit the employment of off -duty policemen paid by the Village
and under departmental control.
There was general agreement that recreational programs for teen agers
are needed, but the Pink Panther dances seem to attract a less desirable
group of young people, as a whole, most of whom are from other communities.
Two students from Deerfield High-.School spoke favorably about the dances.
One boy suggested that the dances be restricted to students from Deerfield
High School, who can be identified by I.D. cards issued by the school.

Panther had been received in February. The Village attorney stated the
license could be denied, or issued under the provisions of the new ordinance
when enacted.

Discussion - Solicitations Mr. Lawrence Incandella, Chairman of
the United Fund, asked on what basis
permits were issued to outside organizations to solicit funds in the Village.
He stated the United Fund sales presentation was based on the idea of one
annual fund raising campaign. The manager stated that letters are sent to
organizations requesting approval of a fund raising drive, suggesting they
get in touch with the United Fund committee, and discouraging an independent
so i ciitati on.
The Village attorney stated the Village does not have the authority
to prohibit such solicitations, buj, the State law requires tbgi-stration of
such organizations, and any group could be checked out with the Secretary
of State. Mr. Incandella asked that any letters regarding solicitations
be referred to the United Fund organization.
