FRIDAY, JANUARY The Snow Shovel-The Badge Of The Good Citizen. The removal of the snow which 18, 1918. now covers Winnetka, piled up in roadsides and at intersections of broken pathways, devolves upon the individual citizen because of the lack of sufficient .machinery 'in the city government to meet the emergency which is presented and the unusual- ness of the condition which makes it unwise to institute regular ways of meeting the situation, even if it were possible. It is rightly considered the duty of the city sufficiently to clear the streets and walks to establish the regular lines of traffic and every effort has been made to meet those requirements. But the magnitude of the task and the character of the faciliti to be had, make it the ly for the citizen to rely : al forces for the clear : | ec is the inconvenience which results from the irregularity of trans- portation service to be considered, of course, but that is not the im- portant feature of the present con- dition. The impossibility of service from the fire department, in the event of need, presents a danger which should arouse every citien to do his "part in opening the streets in suffi- cient measure to permit the free pas- sage of the apparatus through the street and to his own property. Plain straight self-interest should bring every man out with his shovel to do his bit towards lifting from the streets the the stitutes.

The third patriotic meeting under the auspices of the Winnetka War Emergency Union will be held in the gymnasium of Community House on Sunday afternoon, January 27, at 4:30 o'clock. There will be shown two reels of the wonderful twelve-reel film, "The Battle of Arras." Two prominent speakers from the office of the food administrator will discuss the food problems of today. One of the speakers, who has been studying the food conditions in France, will give authentic informa- tion of the food situation at the front. The other speaker will talk briefly of food conditions in this country. There will be singing, and pictures of Winnetka boys in the service will be shown. The committee in charge of the entertainment requests every- one to attend this meeting. Children must be accompanied by their pa- rents. The war work being done by the children in the public schools is most interesting. The boys of the eighth grade at Greeley school are soling shoes for the Relief and Aid Society. Mr. H. A. De Windt has provided the boys with equipment to work with, and Peter Schram instructs the boys in this work on Mondays. A small charge will be made in the future to cover the cost of the materials used in doing this work. The boys at the Horace Mann school are making knitting needles The needles are placed on sale at the school. The girls at the Horace Mann school are cutting and sewing rags to be used in weaving rugs and for comfort pillows. Winnetka boys at Camp Grant are asking for twenty magnetic com- passes to help them in their recon- noissance work. Have you a com- pass to give to them, or will you contribute the money to purchase one? The compass costs approxi- mately one dollar. If you desire to contribute money, please send your contributions to the office of the Win- netka War Emergency Union at the Community House, and the compasses will be forwarded to the men at Camp Grant immediately.

ELECTRIC TRAINS RUSHED FOOD TO TOWNS IN STORM Despite a raging blizzard and six- foot snow drifts, the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad main- tained train service and kept the towns between Evanston and Wau- kegan from being isolated. After the steam lines had been compelled to discontinue, the electric line kept north shore residents from being completely cut off from each other and from Chicago. Several towns south of Waukegan were saved from a meatless Sunday hy the electric road. With the steam roads blockaded, the electric line de- livered an express car carrying eight tons of dressed meat to these towns. Although schedules were disar- ranged for a time, a small army of ~hovelers was put to work clearing the tracks and a half-hourly service was maintained between FEvanston and Waukegan. In addition to 'its regular patrons, the electric line had to carry those persons who ordinarily travel on the steam roads.
