r p72) naa a v WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, OTOCBER 11, 1918 5 THE NEW PATRIOTISM----AND THE SLACKER What is the New Patriotism? How do we stand, individually in relation to it? Is the war developing charac- ter and strength in every man, wom- an and child, or do we feel that our limited effort is not going to help enough to be worth while? Do we realize that what each one of us does and gives, multiplied by 100,000,000 makes a formidable sum total? Those who think they are busy enough, those who stand back and let others do all the giving of strength, time, money--not to mention the real sac- rifices of husbands, sons, brothers, sweethearts are slackers indeed, In communities like Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe--the north shore from Chicago to Wauke- gan--the easiest thing to give is money. We are all learning the luxury of giving and lending. We are also learning how easy and pleasant it is to do without many non-essentials. The time saved in shopping is apt to be given to the Red Cross by the women. The money saved by our improving habits of thrift goes in the same direction after paying the in- creased cost of living. These two savings are considerable and admir- able--but we can do more. The great sacrifices are made by those whose men folks go to the war. Between the two extremes of giv- ing up what we don't need and giv- ing up what is dearer than life it- self are innumerable degrees of sac- rifice. Men, women and children are expressing their new patriotism by turning aside from important business affairs or even from favorite occupations to devote valuable time to the service of their country--our country. We have north shore men the dollar-a-year positions: --we have them in the ranks of the four-minute speakers ;--we have them in the less spectacular but equally devoted khaki clad ranks of the Home Guards. We have north shore women plan- ning their home duties so that more and more of their time can be given in to government service. They are learning new lessons of devotion and sacrifice day by day. Even that sainted relic, the good housekeeper is being torn from her pedestal and bidden to close her eyes and turn her back to some of the dust, and get out of her home into the great enter- prise of the new patriotism. We are not too old to learn, We have been loyal to our homes, to our home towns; to the United States for a long time. Now we must get out into the open and show our de- votion to all mankind. We must be more pliable--ready to assimilate Government orders more quickly and carry them out more faithfully. As the government pun- ishes men who fail to register for the draft, so should public opinion punish women who fail in their duty toward the nation. ' We have seen what the woman power of England can accomplish-- is accomplishing. Shall we make as good a showing when we really get into our stride? It is truly said of us that we are a country but hardly a nation,--cer- tainly not a race. when the war sufferings become really acute--when we become aware through agony that we are at war-- we shall become a nation in the full sense of the word? Then may we hope that Brother Jonathan will be father of a race worthy to take their place among the great people of the earth.-- --IL. K. S. This For Soldiers' Families Allotment checks for relatives men in the service will not be warded in the future outside of the city to which they are addressed. Persons making permanent removal from the delivery of the post office address should send their change of address immediately to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, This does not include those temporarily absent from home nor those moving from one section of the city to another. SIX RULES TO COVER CHRISTMAS SHOPPING State Council of Defense Auxiliaries Called Upon to Enforce Them in Illinois Rules to govern Christmas shopp- ing throughout the United States this year have been agreed upon by the retail merchants of the county (officially represented by their trade organizations), and the War Indus- tries Board at Washington. The purpose of the Christmas shopping rules is to release man power and transportation war work. The rules, as promulgated by the Council of National Defense, are, in effect, as follows: Every patriotic citizen is expected by the Council of National Defense, Washington, to co-operate with the merchants of Illinois as follows: 1. Spread Christmas shopping over the months of October, Novem- ber, and December. Do not wait. Start now. - 2. Shop during the early hours of the day. 3. Buy useful gifts (this does not apply to toys.) 4. Send before December 5; atl for .Christmas packages which must go by mail or express. 5. Avoid giving bulky articles, if they must be sent by mail, freight or express, 6. Carry home your purchases when possible, and do not request special deliveries. The Commercial Economy Ad- ministration of the State Council of Defense has been delegated to put the above rules into effect in Illinois. To do so, it must have the co-opera- tion of all sincere war workers. Therefore all members of State Council committees are called upon to agitate for observance of the Christmas shopping rules in their respective communities. by publicity in their local papers and all other possible means. R. D. CUNNINGHAM TO SPECIALIZE NOW ON AUTO SERVICE WORK With the end of his supply of new cars in sight, R. D. Cunningham, dis- tributor for Ford cars and Oldsmo- biles, is now specializing on service work for all kinds of cars. He is sending out letters to prospective customers and is putting up road sicns on the thoroughfares leading to Evanston. His foreman went to the Ford as- semblying plant to engage a staff of gas engine experts. The service plant in Church street is especially well sped to do overhauling work 'now doing an average of five or six jobs of this kind every week. The Ford assembling plant in Chi- cago Tosed down, prev: ~ahlv for the period of the war. Cunningham was able to get from it two Ford sedans, one of which he sold to Mrs. John J. Stream, 1617 Hinman avenue, Evans- ton. Two or three men are trying to buy the other sedan which is probably the last new Ford car which will be sold here during the war. The price of all Oldsmobiles went up $300 last week. No more new sixes will be supplied and only two more new sedans and two more new coupelets.
