Southwest Citizens Form Organization October 2 An organization meeting of the Southwest Winnetka Taxpayers Pro- tective league will be held Thursday evening, October 2, at Rudolph Matz hall, the Community House. The league is being organized for the purpose of opposing the proposed plans of the Park board to acquire additional land for the park system in the west portion of Winnetka. Petitions are still available to be signed by property own- ers objecting to the annexation of new territory, it is explained. The petitions will be presented to the Park board at the adjourned open meeting to be held October 13. Park Purchase Plan to Have Hearing Oct. 13 A hearing to consider further the proposition of the Winnetka Park dis- trict to acquire approximately 100 acres of property in the Skokie to be added to the present Skokie Playfield prem- ises, is scheduled for Monday evening, October 13, in the Rudolph Matz hall at Community House. Considerable opposition to the Park board's plan has been expressed verb- ally and in petitions and the adjourned session on October 13 promises to be of interest to every property owner in the community. VOTERS LEAGUE CALLS TO POLITICAL MEETING The Winnetka League of Women Voters is at present conducting a drive to make this the year of the "Big Vote" in Cook county. In view of the anticipated close election in November, the members of the league realize that this is a time when every voting citizen can play a definite part in the result if he or she will only exercise the right and privilege of the ballot. In order that the citizens of Win- netka may be fully informed con- cerning the candidates and issues in the campaign, the league will conduct an old-fashioned political rally for the members of all parties on Friday eve- ning, October 3, at 8 o'clock, at the Winnetka Woman's club. Every resident of Winnetka is cor- dially invited and urged to attend this meeting and the league promises an enlightening and interesting program that will be a revelation to the voters of Cook county. PLAYERS HOLD MEETING OCT. 8 Community Dramatists Plan Active Season Everyone will be interested to know something of the plans of the Winnetka Community Players for the coming sea- son. The first "get together" meeting of the Players will .be on Wednesday eve- ning, October 8, at 8 o'clock at Com- munity House, when there will be a special program for the members of the Players, consisting of a three-act play, "Mr. Pim Passes By," A. A. Milne, read by the cast. There will be a social hour at the close of this program. On October 23 and 24, will occur the pageznt, a part of the Fiftieth Anniversary program of the Congrega- tional church. This pageant will be presented by the Community Players. The following are the plays and dates planned for the regular programs of the coming season: November 12 and 13--"A Successful Calamity," by Kummer. January 7 and 8--"A Marriage has been Arranged," by Sutro. January 7 and 8--"A Marriage Pro- posal," by Anton Schekoff. February 11 and 12--"Come Out of the Kitchen," by A. E. Thomas. March 10 and 11--"Don," by Besier. April 7 and 8--"Milestones," by Ben- nett and Knobloch. In each instance, the first perform- ance is especially for the members of the Community Players. The second performance will be open to the public for a small admission charge. The Christmas play, which is to be "Eager Heart," this year, is an exception, being given to the public free of charge. The dates for the Christmas play will be announced later. The dates mentioned have been ar- ranged for at Community House and it is hoped to carry the program through as scheduled. Legion Would Relieve You of These "Items" Friends, Herbert W. Paulson, the dec- orator, has just finished a fine job in the Legion room at Community House, and the men of the post are so proud of the general surroundings they want to make it the most homelike place in the building. : Last spring, you will recall, the legion- naires issued a plea for donations of furniture and other incidentals with which to furnish their room and found a generous response among the house- holders. But, there remain a few other "furnishings" that could be used very nicely in the headquarters lounge, namely : Andirons, cuspidors, ash trays and stands, chairs, lamps and pictures. If you have any of these items among the accumulations of the attic, the legion- naires will be glad to help you clear them away. They'll be on the job in a twinkling to cart away whatever you may have to offer. A call to Community House or to Thomas J. Lynch, Winnetka 1294, will do the trick. AT TEMPLE CONCLAVE Alva Lee Adams, owner of Adams Pharmacy, is attending the Knights Templar conclave at Springfield, IIL, this week. Mr. Adams is a member of the Columbia commandery band. He accompanied several Wilmette, High- land Park and Evanston commandery men to the scene of the conclave. CONCERT SEATS AVAILABLE NOW General Public Has Oppor- tunity to Secure Tickets for Symphony CONCERT IS OCTOBER 6 Dasch Players to Offer In- teresting Program The approaching season of north shore symphony concerts promises to be just as great a popular success as in previous years. Less than a fort- night remains for music lovers to se- cure their season tickets and the ca- pacity of New Trier High School auditorium is rapidly being taken up. For the past two seasons subscrip- tions to these events given by the Symphony players under the auspices of the New Trier Township Orchestral association have been closed far in advance of the season. The capacity of the auditorium was fully subscribed for the present season last spring. Due, however, to removals from the north shore villages, and delays on the part of some old subscribers in taking up their tickets, there are enough available tickets at this writ- ing to offer them to the large wait- ing list. This is being done this week, and the management expects a rush which will clean up the last ticket within a few days. Tickets were reserved for old subscribers up to last Monday, but now it is a case of first come, first served. Newcomers to north shore commun- ities are advised that, if after giving those on the waiting list a fair oppor- tunity to take up tickets there are any still available, notice will be given through the north shore papers next week. ¥ The program for the first concert to be given Monday evening, October 6, will be played by 45 musicians. It is particularly noteworthy in that it will include Tschaikowsky's Sym- phony No. 6,--the famous "Pathe- tique" in B. Minor. Following is the program in detail: The Program Overture--""In Bohemia" (Opus 28).. PR EC SE alee Le LR Hadley Symphony No. 6--"Pathetique"--B Minor (Opus 74).....

USE THE WANT ADS TO FIND A HOME WOMAN'S SOCIETY HAS FIRST MEETING OCT. 1 The Woman's Society of the Win- netka Congregational church will have its first meeting of the fall on Wed- nesday morning, October 1, at 10 o'clock, and invites all its members and other women who would enjoy its work, to come to this first very interesting day. Mrs. David S. Lasier is president, with many committees and departments co- operating to make this the most fruit- ful year of the society's history. Sewing will be ready for all who will help in the charity work of the society. Promptly at 10:30 o'clock, the devo- tional service will be led by Mrs. Al- bert M. Scharf, and this will be fol- lowed by several group readings. Mrs. W. D. McKensie will read in the Neigh- borhood room, and Mrs. Frederick Dick- inson, for the auxiliary, in the Boy Scout room. The newly organized music group will meet in the Camp Fire room, Luncheon will be served at 12:15 o'clock in Rudolph Matz hall; and at 1 o'clock in the same place, a program of music will be given, as planned by Mrs. Arthur R. Dean. The music num- bers will include singing by Mrs. Guy Stuart Bailey, who has been away from Winnetka the past year, and a group of piano solos by Ruth Alexander Tracy, who will also present several records she has recently made. A violin trio-- Mrs. Brewer, Mrs. Bartlett and Mrs. Kingery, with Mrs. Dean at the piano, will provide the third part of a fine program. After the readings, and during the lunch hour, there will be ample oppor- tunity for conversation and the meet- ing friends, old and new. Any who are unable to come earlier are invited to attend the musical part of the day. FLYING IS NEW BOYS' PASTIME Aero Experts Encouraging Sport Here Winnetka sponsors are said to be in- terested in a new movement that is en- couraging the building and flying of miniature aircraft as a sport. Terence Vincent, aero writer for the Chicago Daily News, credits much of the splen- did progress of the movement in this vicinity to the support given by the parks, playgrounds and public schools; also to the interest shown by the clubs such as Rotary and commercial associa- tions. Complete diagrams and descriptions of indoor and outdoor rubber-motored minature airplanes for duration have been written up by the M. A. F. The diagrams have been made by Paul H. Lahan of the Haugan school, Chicago, who is president of the Chicago Manual Training Teachers' club--he tested each method in his class room, the human la- boratory, before making the drawings. He and Terrence Vincent have collabor- ated in making these sets of directions for use by boys and girls of 12 years of age and over. Action may be taken at the national convention of the Playground and Rec- reation Association of America at At- lantic City, October 16 to 21, to recog- nize and support the achievements of the Miniature Aircraft Fliers, 8746 Monadnock Block, Chicago. Two winners of the M. A. F. tourna- ment hold recently in the Municipal Pier auditorium will be flown in airplanes piloted by Elmer Partridge and E. B. Heath from Chicago to Dayton to see the International Air Races there in Oc- tober 2, 3, 4 as rewards for good work done with the junior aircraft game. FE. M. laird produced what is believed to be one of the world's best. Cab Drivers Get Stiff Warning from Peterson Reports to the police department that certain taxi-cab drivers were engaging in the practice of addressing untoward comments to women pedestrians in the village this weeld, brought Ilgtters of warning from Chief Peterson to every taxi concern in Winnetka advising the owners that summary arrests and prose- cution would follow similar complaints in the future. "Complaints in this regard have been numerous," said Chief Peterson in com- menting on the warning note he had sent to cab owners, "and we are determined to put a stop to the practice. Matters have come to a pretty pass when women of the village cannot walk through our business streets without being subjected to insulting remarks and slurring com- ments." SCOUT COUNCIL PLAN APPROVED Supervisory Body for All North Shore Scout Activ- ity Will Be Formed TO NAME COMMITTEES Winnetka Groups Expected to Sponsor Plan Establishment of a North Shore council of the Boy Scouts of America, to have supervisicn of the communities represented in the territory extending from Wilmette, cn the south, to Lake Bluff, on the north, is now in progress under the direction of Francis D. Chad- wick, field man for the Boy Scout move- ment in Illinois, Michigan and Wiscon- sin. Ea : Approval of Scout organizations mn all the interested communities is said to have been received by Mr. Chadwick and it remains to have the organization put in operation in accordance with a definite program outlined by the field executive. Organize Local Committee This program calls for the organiza- tion of local committees of control, membership of which will be enlisted from representative church and civic organizations in the communities. Wil- mette has virtually completed such an organization and it is anticipated that activity in that direction will begin in this village within the near future. It is recommended, that these commit- tees of control comprise a chairman, vice chairman, secretary, treasurer, and deputy scout commissioner, as well as committee chairman on finance, troop organization, camping, publicity civic service, and such other committees as shall appear necessary. Power to Act Mr. Chadwick further recommended that this local committee of control in Winnetka be accorded the right to take official action in the matter of entering the North Shore council and accepting the share of the budget determined for Winnetka, that budget to be worked out and approved by a committee repre- sentative of all the committees entering the North Shore council, the share for each community to be determined by that committee. Organization of the North Shore council would mean the retention of a full-time, salaried Scout Executive, such as are now retained in Evanston, Wau- kegan and other communities through- out the United States. Will Not Interfere Organization of the North Shore council, Mr. Chadwick points out, will in no manner interfer with the pro- cedure of Scout work in the individual communities, but will, on the other hand, extend to the local scout organizations the privilege of dealing directly with national Scout headquarters and of con- ducting official Courts of Honor--privi- leges that are not accorded under pres- ent circumstances. The council also gives the individual organizations the benefits of constant contact with a high- ly trained executive who will devote his entire time to north shore Scout activity. Hubbard Woods Folk to Witness Skeeter Film Mosquito films showing the activity of the pest and how to fight it will be shown at the first meeting of the fall season of the Hubbard Woods Improve- ment association to be held Wednesday evening, October 1, at 8 o'clock, at the Hubbard Woods school. These films will be shown under the direction of Dr. H. W. Moore, chair- man of the mosquito campaign in Win- netka. It is part of the work being car- ried on by the Hubbard Woods Im- provement association in cooperation with the central committee of the vil- lage. The meeting is open to all those interested.
