Lloyd of the Wilmette Con- gregational church. With ringing eloquence Mr. Lloyd earnestly called upon every business man 'in New Trier township to join with his fellow citizens in the town- ship in every movement that had as its object the betterment of the busi- ness, social and community life in i New: Trier. He emphasized that, though New | Trier township was the most splendid | community in which to live with its { myriad comforts and advantages to the individual, the really thing after all was the development of a fine spirit of fellowship and co- operation in every sphere of activity. "We must be imbued," he said, "with a Common Vision, a Common Purpose and display an Uncommon Energy in order to make of New Trier Commercial association the kind of an institution in the town- Sip that it was actually intented to e, Henry B. Gates, recently elected president of the association, before introducing Mr. Lloyd, presented Mr. Eston V. Tubbs, newly appointed principal of New Trier Township High school. In seeking co-operation on the part of New Trier business men in essential |° do everything in our power to make it the very best high school in the United States." Other speakers called upon by Mr. Gates were former president Lloyd F. Hollister, business manager of the Lake Shore Publishing company and recently returned to the north shore from two years' service in the United States army; Mr. Egan, north shore representative of the Consumers' company, and Mr. Bateing represent- ative of a Chicago credit rating con- cern. The dinner, far from being a rigid, formal affair, was in the very nature of a "get-together". There was a decided atmosphere of community in- terest in evidence. Following a sumptuous repast the guests joined in enthusiastic community singing, an impromptu departure of the evening which proved to be one of the biggest features of the entertain- ment. Following the Community sing, Mr. Gates spoke briefly of the pur- poses of the association and exhorted the members to "double-fisted" ac- tion and co-operation necessary to make the organization the most rep- resentative influence on the north shore having as its direct object Com- munity interest in New Trier town- ship and in each of the Villages com- ing within the scope of the associa- tian. Mr. Gates, in conclusion, urgently advised sharp reduction in annual dues and an intensive cam- paign to increase the membershin so as to include every business and professional man in the township. Following the dinner there was a dance in the ballroom of the Com- munity House. INDOOR BASEBALL LEAGUE Team managers and all individuals interested in a Winnetka indoor baseball league are requested to meet at Community House, Tuesday even- ing, October 21; at 8 o'clock sharp.

The reso- lutions were unanimously backed by the session. : Bonus Proposition Defeated i One of the surprises of the evening {came when the entire meeting voted | that the American Legion should not foster any plan pertaining to a bonus for service men.

Plan For Winter On. October 28, the Post again meets to formulate plans for winter activities, decide upon a permanent name for the Post and complete or- ganization work. New officers will be elected at the November 11 meet- ing and, considering that that ses- sion falls on Armistice Day, the Post plans a great celebration for that evening.

Many of the instructors in Winnet- ka schools are from out of town and the dance at Community House to- night will give all an opportunity to become acquainted. The American Legion members also | have been asked as guest of the evening and many plan to attend.
