VOL. VI, NO. 32 EW MASDI LO GETS CHATER hid Constituting Ceremonies of New Winnetka Lodge by Grand Lodge INSTALL OFFICERS Many Visitors Expected for Big Occasion Elaborate preparations are being made for the Constituting ceremonies of the new Winnetka Masonic Lodge which will be held Tuesday evening, November 7, at the Skokie school. On this occasion the lodge will be formally constituted by the officers of the Illinois Grand Lodge and the Charter will be presented. Several committees have charge of the preparations for the evening's program under the supervision of Miles Whitney, general chairman. The ceremonies will be open to friends and families of members. It is re- ported the attendance will exceed 1,000. Delegations from neighboring lodges will attend in bodies. Some of the more distant lodges will also be represented. There has been a strong bond of friendship between the new Winnetka Masonic lodge wautosa Lodge of Wisconsin. A good sized delegation will be counted upon from that point. Past masters from many lodges will be present. Impressive Ceremony The presentation of the Charter and the installation of officers of the new lodge by the dignitaries of the Grand Lodge is an impressive cere- mony that is bound to make a deep and lasting impression on all who wit- ness it. Tt is an occasion that usu- ally comes but once in the life of a community and therefore it can be readily understood why a Constitu- , tion ceremony always attracts such wide interest. In addition to the serious part of the program, there will be plenty of high grade talent to provide enter- tainment for the members and their friends. The Charter member list of the Winnetka Lodge consists of 276 names. The record made since its inception early this year has been nothing short of remarkable and has brought forth words of praise and approbation from members of the Grand Lodge. The following officers will be in- stalled on the evening of the consti- tution: Thomas N. Wheatley, wor- shipful master; George E. Frazer, sen- ior warden; George J. Barberry, jun- io warden; William F. Groene, senior deacon; William F. Kentnor, junior deacon: J. W. F. Davies, chaplain; A. F. Battey, secretary; A. T. Wein- stock, treasurer; Paul L. Hunter, sen- ior steward; Edward A. Anderson, junior steward; Walter Niemann, tyler; Carl Niemann, assistant tyler; Earl A. Weinstock, marshal; O. A. Galitz, organist. Bartholomew McGivern Dies; Active Community Worker Funeral services for Bartholomew T. McGivern, who passed away Satur- day, October 14, after an illness of several days, were held from his home at 865 Pine street, to Sacred Heart church, Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. Burial was at Sacred Heart. Mr. McGivern, who was connected with the Davies Supply company of Chicago, was one of the most popular men in Winnetka. He maintained a deep interest in village affairs and took an active part in all community betterment enterprises. His friends in the village were numbered by the hundreds, who knew him best as "Bart," and his death came as a severe shock to the villagers. He is survived by his widow and three children, Mary, William and Katherine.

Install New Water Main for Glencoe Water Supply The Winnetka Village board Tues- day evening authorized the installation of a twelve-inch water main in Linden avenue, from North avenue to the Glencoe south limits, to be for sup- plying water to the Village of Glencoe. The installation will cost $7,000, it is estimated, to be paid out of the water fund. The water contract with the Village of Glencoe provides for interest at 615 per cent to be paid on this investment by the Village of Glen- coe. A new water meter is being instal- led at the Glencoe limits, to be housed in an attractive brick structure locat- ed in the west parkway on Linden avenue. WOULDST BE A POET?

RELIEF AND AID SHOP SOUNDS URGENT APPEAL The Winnetka Relief and Aid so- ciety announces that its Clothing Shop is in crying need of new stock. "No better use could be made of the things the children have outgrown than to send the articles to Miss Kate Dwyer, 858 Elm street," begins the appeal. "There they will be sold at a nominal price to some one who is in need of wearing apparel but is un- willing to accept charity. "That this Shop is a necessity in Winnetka is: proven by the constant brisk trade it does. The small sums received for the garments go into the coffers of the Relief and Aid society but now the stock is very low. Buyers come and find little to fill their wants. Any sort of clothing is acceptable, but right now, with the beginning of school, children's clothes and shoes are in special demand." "Don't let any good garments hang around unused jin the closet, that someone might be wearing," the mes- sage concludes. "Telephone - Mrs. Lawrence Stein, Winnetka 170 and your contributions will be called for." general chair- chairman Commit- Floor HOUSING CHEERS GREET LAIRD BELL AT DEDICATION OF SKOKIE SCHOOL President of Board of Education Gives Masterly Address Before 1,000 Villagers at Ceremonies Marking Formal Opening of Beautiful West Side School Structure Deafening applause followed They were paying their respects to the man who stood at the helm un- daunted and unafraid, facing bitter criticism and often worse through the trying days when Winnetka was fighting out its biggest school prob- lems. They were voicing unmis- takable evidence of supreme satisfac- tion over a remarkable achievement in community endeavor in which he bore the brunt of the burden "seeing the thing through" when many others would have given up in discourage- ment. They were cheering Laird Bell, community leader and man. Pageant Is Feature Mr. Bell's address was a feature of an interesting porgram that in- cluded a pageant entitled "As a Child Learns," written for the occasion by Mrs. Mary Langworthy, and a musical prelude directed by Mrs. Philemon Kohlsaat. Holding spellbound an audience of 1,000 villagers, Mr. Bell said in part: "We meet to dedicate this school to the use of the children of Win- netka. But it is only the formal act of dedication that we perform to- night. The real dedication has been de ong since, at many times and in many ways. "It was really dedicated by the sac- rifices which over a thousand of our fellow citizens made to build it-- equally by the gifts of five dollars from those who could ill afford it, and by larger gifts from many whose children had long passed school age, or attended other schools. It was dedicated by the many who gave what they could, much or little according to their means, with no thought of return other than the benefit to the children and the communtiy. Praises Drive Workers "It was dedicated, too, by the labors of the army of workers who went faithfully from door to door for sub- scriptions, who kept at the discour- aging task month after month till it was done. It was dedicated by the spirit shown by those who, accepting the verdict of the majority, loyally worked and gave to a school they had not favored. It was dedicated by the work of others far too numer- ous and too varied to catalog here. Few like buildings have been so far consecrated to their uses before those uses began. There Is No Better Time to BUY a used car than now. You will find bar- gains at this time of year that you will never see at any other season. Here is one like you have been waiting for-- FOR SALE -- OVERLAND 83 touring. Good mechanical condition. Good tires. Looks good. Must sell this week. Bargain, $100 cash. Call Win- netka 1800 during day. You will always find what you want in the Winnetka Weekly Talk Something akin to an ovation--though not the stereotyped vari- ety accorded a political candidate--greeted Laird Bell, president of the Winnetka Board of Education, Wednesday at the conclusion of his stirring address Wednesday evening at the dedication exercises at the new Skokie grammar school. Mr. Bell's masterly presentation, terminating in a rousing three cheers for "Laird Bell," after one of the prominent men of the community gave the impromptu signal by leaping to his feet, for all the world after the fashion of a college cheerleader, and conducting a "yell" that would smother into insigni- ficance the most thiill-laden football skyrocket ever evised. Eulogizes "Bill" Hibbard "You have all seen the building in its simple practical dignity. The gym- nasium, one of the many uses of which you are to witness this eve- ning, was given in memory of William Gold Hibbard, by Mrs. Hibbard and other members of their families. 'Bill' Hibbard (as it still seems we must call him) was better known to the 'old settlers' of five or ten years ago, than to the many people who have come here since, but his memory is one that should be preserved. Quiet, simple, unselfish to a fault, gener- ously responding to every public need, he was a model of the finer qualities that this hurrying world is too apt to forget. We are fortunate in the possession of a memorial which will keep alive those memories and which will bring health and strength to children, to whom he was peculiar- ly devoted. And it is a happy thing that that memorial should overlook the brord exvanse of Fries which h: labored ulccasiug.y w pies serve. Honor Memory of Child +he "This heantiful hall wag given in, memory of Jane Kuppenheimer, hy her parents. A child (ot off in y uth as Jane Kuppenheimer wa., remains in the minds of those who knew her always a child, with the sweetness and freshness of a child's life, it mat- ters not how many years have passed. No man can estimate what one child's life might have meant to the commu- nity if it had been lived. But her memory may be kept alive and vital. This hall, to be used by children, al- ways changing, but always young like the memory of a child, is dedicated to the freshness of youth. May it long be filled with happy children, May it long stand as a symbol of the life of the little girl for whom it is named. May it be an inspiration spreading far beyond our little com- munity to promote the finest kind of service to education. Lauds Community Spirit "One is tempted to feel a little proud that this project which we have talked about so long has finally be- come a reality. But my own feeling is rather one of humble gratitude for the kind spirit in our midst which made this building possible. I have tried feebly many times to express the gratitude of the board of educa- tion to those who have worked and given and I wish now that I could really give credit to all whom it is due. But I think, when all is said and done, that you all, contributors and workers, really do not want our poor thanks. Indeed, you owe that thanks to one another--none of us could have done it without the rest of us. And the reward, which none have asked for, is here about us. The dream, the apparently fantastic dream, has come true. The work and worry and sacrifice will soon be forgotten, but the product of them will endure. "The product is not just brick and mortar. It is something bigger than that. May our children and those that follow them not look upon this mere- ly as a school house where they have somewhat reluctantly received some education. Rather, may that earnest devotion which inspired the commu- nity to raise these walls somehow permeate the very bricks and stamp itself upon the children that go out from these doors. And as they scat- ter to the four corners of the earth, may they carry with them the ideals of public service that their parents have put into this building." Winnetka Men Hear Talk By Brig. Gen. Davis Brig. Gen. Abel Davis was the speak- er at the first Winnetka Men's club dinner of the season held at Com- munity House Thursday evening of this week. There was an excellent attendance of the men of the village at the dinner. Ne
