Rubbish Fires Claim Attention of Firemen The Winnetka Fire department ex- perienced a comparatively quiet week due to the fact, perhaps, that nearly all of the brush piles and grass cov- ered lots in the village were burned off the week before. The last calls answered were turned in Friday and Sunday. An oil fire in the basement of the brick dwelling at 445 Sunset road, oc- cupied and owned by R. Dalmar, was the cause of a run early Friday morn- ing. Little damage was done by the fire, and it was soon extinguished by the use of chemicals. Sunday afternoon a grass fire at Fig and Center streets was put out with brooms. A spark from a locomotive is thought to have ignited the dry grass. Sunday night a brush fire at Vernon and Prairie avenues claimed the attention of the department. "Guard your rubbish fires," is the warning of Fire Chief Houren.

BENEFIT PARTY NETS CAMP FUND OVER $500 The card party for the benefit of Indian Hill camp which was given at the Winnetka Woman's club, Tuesday, April 22, proved a great success from every point of view. Not only was a delightful afternoon enjoyed by the many women present, but the financial returns were most gratifying, it is re- ported. The committee in charge re- ports that, though the final figures are not yet all in, the proceeds are in the neighborhood of $500. More than 70 tables were arranged for cards and Mah Jongg, and a large group enjoyed some delightful readings, generously given by Mrs. E. E. Brown. Thanks are due not only to the large committee in charge, under the general chairmanship of Mrs. Frederick Thomas, who worked untiringly to make this benefit a success, it is emphasized, but to the many women of the village who responded, and to a considerable num- ber of undividuals and groups who made special donations, among whom was the Winnetka. Woman's club. "It is most gratifying to the director of the camp, and to the Community House which sponsors this activity," reads a statement on the party. "Be- causg of this financial help, it enables the camp to proceed along the . lines that it has been developing." Prouty Boy Negotiates . Long Jaunt on Bicycle On Thursday, "April 17, Carlton Prouty, Jr., the 8 years old son of Mr. and Mrs. Carlton Prouty of Wil- low street, rode his bicyele from Win- netka to McHenry, Illinois, a distance of forty miles. The young man was accompanied by his father and elder brother, and set the pace all the way. It took the party nearly eight hours to ac- complish the trip, long delays being caused by the numerous and well sup- plied lunch stands along the rofite, past which it seemed to be difficult to propel the wheels. On the follow- ing Sunday, the older members of the party returned over the same course n four hours.
