WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1919 Parent-Teacher Association of Illinois | Keep Jolly Tar Club in Peace Times i vv a mistake of ignorance on our part, in the past, but since the war has opened our eyes to recreational needs of these men we shall be criminally lacking in social spirit if we allow them to fall back into the ostracism of former years. It may not seem wise nor expedient to entertain them in our own homes as we did during) By Mary Lewis Langworthy (Chairman, Jolly Tar Club) The Jolly Tar club at Waukegan was established at the beginning of the war for the use of the men in the navy, as a home club, by the State Parent-Teacher organization, known at that time as the Illinois Congress of Mothers and Parent-| (he war, but we can, at least keep | Teacher association.

In Illinois, however, it has been proven that it could be done, not only as a war time measure, but as an even more important bit of peace time patriotism. In time of threatened danger, such as the strikes in the last few weeks, these men of the navy are kept on tip-toe for a riot call, deprived of their liberty in order that we may sleep peacefully, and are expected to act instantly as a buffet between us and danger. On the other hand, the world has for many years regarded the "common sailor or soldier" as a social outcast, has refused him social privileges, has provided no recrea- tional facilities for him when off duty, and in general relegated him to the street, poolroom or saloon for his pleasures. This has been largely Winnetka Parent-Teacher associa- tions and their friends have been especially generous in their support to this work, and it is an interesting demonstration. of their exceptional community spirit that they should be still "placing the foundations under hope" by continuing it. The War Recreation Board of IHli- nois and the War Camp Community | Service have co-operated magnifi- cently in purchasing. and enlarging the house now in occupancy, giving us the use of it for a merely nominal rent. Without this support on their part we would hardly have been able to keep up the work. Many people have asked us if we were entertaining as many boys now as during the war, and the answer is that while we are not so crowded as we were then, our rooms are full and we take care of the leisure hours of hundreds of boys every week. OPERATE ON POLICE CHIEF, BUT HE'S ON THE JOB Chief W. M. Peterson, Winnetka's doughty law preserver and nemesis of the burglars and prowlers, was at the Evanston hospital early this week where he underwent a slight operation on his right foot which was badly crushed in June, 1918, when the chief, while riding a motorcycle in Wilmette, collided with an automo- bile. Oh! He's on the job, although he is forced to employ crutches. During the chief's many months of confine- ment as the result of the injury, he directed the work of the police de- 'partment from a telephone placed at his bedside.
