December Passes Minus Burglaries and Prowls Winnetka was entirely free from burglaries during the month of Decem- ber, according to Chief W. M. Peter- son's report of the activities of the Police department over that period. There were 31 arrests for violations of traffic regulations, including speed- ing and other infractions. Four dis- orderly conduct cases were handled and one larceny complaint. Five accidents were recorded during the month, 39 buildings were found left open at night by their owners and sta- tion complaints numbered 10. Unclas- sified cases coming to the attention of the police numbered 159. The complete absence of burglaries and "prowls" during the month was thought to have been due in a large measure to the disintegration of an alleged "gang" that has been operating in all the north shore villages. But, as one veteran policeman so fre- quently remarks, "When things are quiet, redouble your efforts." Davies Scheduled to Talk Before Men's Sunday Class Dr. J. W. F. Davies, associate pastor of the Winnetka Congregational church, is scheduled to lead the discussion at the Men's Sunday Morning class at Com- munity House on January 13. The subject for this Sunday is an- nounced as "The Part of the Father in the Religious Education of the Home." Sunday's topic is one of a series dis- cussed by leading men of the community on the general theme, "Religious Hobbies." Eight Fires Recorded in Winnetka Last Month December was a comparatively quiet month for the Winnetka Fire depart- ment, with only eight calls recorded in Chief G. M. Houren's monthly report. Most of the fires were caused by de- fective heating apparatus. One was caused by defective wiring and two were due to burning rubbish. The total damage for the month was recorded as $1,327, the properties in- volved having a total valuation of $46,000... (Continued from page 5) Wednesday night, at which he was to have been a speaker, penned the accom- panying letter to S. Bowles King, one of the governors of Community House: January 8, 1924. S. Bowles King, Esq., c/o Sullivan Machinery Co., Peoples Gas Building, Chicago, Illinois. Dear Bowles: An occasion of necessity requires me to leave very suddenly for New York and, to my great disappointment, will prevent me being with you at the din- ner in Community House tomorrow night. I have tried, without success, to get in touch with you by telephone. I had been looking forward to the opportunity personally to express to you and the other members of Community House the good wishes of the Village Council and of myself on this occasion of the opening of the new building. The Council has expressed itself in the form of a resolution of which I am sending a copy under separate cover to you. Shows Nation-Wide Need Without question, the influence of Community House, in its varied aspects, is the most enlightened and far felt in Winnetka. It is an example of a nation- wide need. With the development of our American society, ever more com- plex, the institutions of our free govern- ment will depend for their successful functioning, upon the sense of civic ob- ligation in the hearts of the citizens. The individualist, complacent at his in- dependent fireside, cherishes a false and selfish philosophy. To the extent that he is loyal to that philosophy, he en- joys the advantages of our society with- out sharing its responsibilities. © If our theory of the people's sovereignty be sound, the hope of the future must rest upon the vision of a wise citizenry awakened to the possibilities and obli- gations of its community life. Such a vision, Community House holds before us. May its enlarged house generously increase the abundant harvest of its good work. I will greatly appreciate it if you will express to the trustees and members my disappointment at being unable to be present at the dinner. With best wishes, I am Yours very truly, JOHN S. MILLER, Jr. 7 | Express Good Wishes J ------------ The resolution referred to in Vil- lage President Miller's letter reads as follows : RESOLUTION "RESOLUTION adopted at the meeting of the Council of the Village of Winnetka on Tuesday evening, Jan- uary 2nd, 1924. "WHEREAS for many years Com- munity House has been an influence of great good in the management of a healthful and noble community life among the people of Winnetka; and "WHEREAS it has come to the at- tention of this Council that on Wed- nesday, the 9th day of January next, the Board of Trustees and Members of Community House will officiate and for- mally open and dedicate a new building to be used in the futherance of the great work of the institution; "Now therefore, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the Village of Win- netka that it does hereby express to the Trustees and Members of Com- munity House its gratitude and appre- ciation for the work of Community House among the citizens of Winnetka, Dr. Harold R.

HOLD WEEKLY MOVIES AT SKOKIE SCHOOL The successful though short season of Friday afternoon moving picture shows in the Jane Kuppenheimer Memorial hall, Skokie school, last fall, resulted in a demand on the part of the school children for weekly movies. To meet this demand Harry Clarke, who handled the entertainments, has arranged a delightful and valuable series of programs for each Friday afternoon during the spring term, be- ginning Friday, January 11. The pro- grams this term will begin at 3:30 and will probably last an hour and a half or less. The program, in the majority of cases, will contain a feature film of two to five reels, some studies of wild life, and an illustrated {fable or comedy reel to close the program. Beginning this Friday, the first epi- sode of a group of films illustrating the life of Lincoln will be shown. Next Friday, a study of Bees, an Aesop's Fable, and a reel of the Yose- mite Valley will be added to the second of the Lincoln episodes. In all, five or six reels will be shown each week. The profits from the films will be used to pay for the motion picture machine which was purchased by the schools last year. SERVICES HONOR TEACHER Memorial services were held in Evans- ton this week for Miss Almy Hoyt, a former resident of Winnetka and teacher in the Evanston public schools, who passed away at her home in Ev- anston on December 24. The services were held in the Assembly room of the Noyes school, Evanston. Miss Hoyt has been an instructor in the Evanston schools since 1901.
