Chicago Life In the Van
Der Bosch family is perpetual
fun.
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Van
Der Bosch and their nine chil
dren run family affairs like a
business. Each young Van Der
Bosch is assigned a chore, ex
cept Edward, Jr., who is mar
ried and lives nearby.
The Van Der Bosches live in
a converted two-family dwell
ing. The upper floor was made
into a spacious dormitory. The
lower apartment la used as the
living area.
The roll call of children lists
Richard, 25. Edward, Jr., 23,
Larry, 21, Betty, 17, George, 16,
Jack, 15, Patricia, 12, Casey, 9,
and Terry 7. Six of the children
are in school, with two boys at
tending college.
Dad Van Der Bosch operates
a wholesale produce business.
lie consults the chalked bul
letin board installed at home for
daily instructions the same as
the kids do. Family conferences
decide who does what.
Early this year Casey brought
up the subject of mother Van
Der Bosch's scolding about be
ing late for dinner after she
rang the bell.
"We've got to come down the
front stairs and walk clear back
to the dining room in the rear.
That's awful far," he said.
Casey suggested a fireman's
pole be placed between the
floors of the back porches. It
would be a quick slide to the
dinner plate.
A few days later a fireman
friend had found one.
Workmen cut a two- foot
square opening in the floor of
the second story porch and in
stalled the brass pole. Every
member of the family uses it.
"The gang gets to the table in
less than a minute," papa Van
Der Bosch said.
