{ a 2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1922 EDGAR GUEST DOES HI3 BIT FOR SMYRNA Pens Beautiful Appeal for Aid Edgar Guest, the famous newspaper- magazine poet, who recently spoke at Community House, and whose poems of childhood delight millions daily, has written a poem for the Smyrna Special Relief Committee of Illinois, to aid in its Christmas drive on be- half of 1,250,000 people who are home- less and starving following the Thrace and Smyrna disasters. General Charles G. Dawes is treas- urer and Harry A. Wheeler is chair- man of the committee, with headquar- ters at 125 West Monroe street, Chi- cago. Mr. Guest's poem follows: SMYRNA Smyrna's calling you and me! Smyrna, far across the sea, Hears its women weeping And its children's hungry cries. Smyrna's streets are running red; Smyrna begs for milk and bread; Now before the scimitar The Christian mother flies. Smyrna's pain and misery Are too far away to see, But her call for mercy Comes to us across the wire. Homeless mothers, pale and gaunt In the desperate clutch of want, Turn to us who keep the cross On every temple spire. These are ours who suffer there, Ours that battle with despair, These are ours who beg and plead And turn to us for aid; Children, just like yours and mine, Driven by the Turkish line. As our children pray at night So these babes have prayed. Help these helpless ones to liva! From your store a little give. When at last your life is closed And you rejoin your dead, You may stand in pride that day, If but your soul can say: "lI gave those starving bread." Indian Hill Club Awaits Jack Frost for Winter Joy The toboggan at the Indian Hill Country club has been erected and all preparations completed for a rec- ord season of winter sports. All the club. members and their friends are waiting for now is a long spell of real wintry weather like the sample Jack Frost submitted this week. It is greatly to be desired that the Christmas holidays will bring a generous supply of snow and some real skating weather. Jack Davis has been re-engaged as skating instructor at the club this season. He is one of the best known | professional skaters in the country and an expert teacher. Assisting Mr. Davis will be Miss June Rogers, his former skating partner, who will teach skating to children under 8 years of age. Arrangements have been made to have the skating pond and toboggan slide lighted for night use. 1 Hockey will again hold a promi- nent place in winter sports. Last sea- son the Indian Hill Hockey team won the championship of the North Shore league.
