Gonsalves, owner of the Franklin building and the Prouty Block, this week purchased the Bennick prop- erty at the junction of Spruce, Chestnut and Center streets. The consideration was not announced. The property is to be improved in the near future with two-story structure con- taining shops on the ground floor and apartments on the upper story. It is thought that Mr. Gonsalves will carry through in his plans an architectural de- sign in harmony with the general recom- mendations of the Winnetka Plan com- mission for commercial structures. The Bennick property now contains an old dwelling which will be removed in the near future. Purchase of the Bennick property marks the third big real estate transfer in which Mr. Gonsalves was the buyer. He first acquired the Prouty Block and later purchased thé Vollmann cor- ner at Elm and Linden streets, which is now the site of the Franklin building. These with his most recent acquisition have made him easily the largest prop- erty holder in the Elm street business district.

WILL TELL CLUB ABOUT WINNETKA Young People to Hear Story of Village Skokie By J. A. H. Winnetka is an unusual village. Ask anybody. Our village has a real story behind it. The Winnetka Sunday Eve- ning club offers the opportunity next Sunday evening of hearing an extremely interesting account of that story given by Prof. William L. Bailey of the depart- ment of sociology of Northwestern uni- versity. Prof. Bailey has spent much time in research into the development of our village from its beginnings to the present time. The Winnetka Plan commission valued his investigations so highly that it made him a consulting member. He has helped materially in planning the future physical development of Win- netka. Practical Survey Since there is no adquate printed his- tory of Winnetka generally available, Prof. Bailey's address will be a very practical means of becoming thoroughly acquainted with the story of our village. It is hoped that all who attend the meeting will have definite suggestions to offer for increasing the value and use- fulness" of the Sunday Evening club Time will be given to an open discus- sion of the aims, policies, and programs of the club. Will all members please attend ? The club will welcome the attendance of any young people who have not pre- viously been present. This is your in- vitation. Come to Community House, Camp Fire room, at 6:30 o'clock, Sun- day, November 16. Supper will be served. Chamber of Commerce Is Opposed to Park Purchase A resolution was passed at a special meeting of the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce held Monday night at the Community House requesting that none of the three parcels of land which it is proposed to annex to the Skokie Play- field, should be purchased, and setting forth that the present park territory is sufficient. Regarding the Playfield, the consensus of opinion was that the park property and neighboring land should be properly drained before other action is taken. The regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce will be held Wednesday night, November 19, starting at 8 o'clock at the Community House. Re- ports on the membership drive will be made and a discussion on the parking and ward. traffic regulations will be held. I MISSIONARY IS CHURCH GUEST Edward F. Nolting to Preach at Congregational Church This Sunday HEADS INDIA COLLEGE Perry Dunlap Smith Speaker in Evening The services tomorrow at the Win- netka Congregational church will be cf an unusual character. The speaker at the 11 o'clock service will be Edward F. Nolting of Madura, India, who for Edward F. Nolting eight years has been dean of the Ameri- can college in that city. Being a son of Missouri, with college training West and East, Mr. Nolting's executive ability and engaging person- ality have resulted in a superb piece of work among the 450 Indian boys in the college. This experience and his con- nection with other important affairs in that "land of mystery" gave him a large fund of information. He is in America for the winter, and will return to India with Mrs. Nolting next spring. In Demand for Talks Mr. Nolting is in great demand and has a long series of engagements; so the local church is fortunate in securing him for this date. He is called the best platform man in the country for the American board of missions. He is especially welcome in Winnetka, as he is a close friend of the Wolsteds, local missionaries in India, and is well in- formed with regard to their progressive work in Manamadura. The Sunday evening series of meet- ing for November will continue the dis- cussions begun last week, when Perry Dunlap Smith, head-master of North Shore Country Day school, will speak on "The Place for Religion in the Newer Education."

Hadley and The name of Helen Keller is well known to all who read the items of in- terest in the press; for the triumph she has made over the double handicap of blindness and deafness has made her one of the best known women in the coun- try. Her books and lectures have brought her before the public and her word is accepted as an authority in all matters which pertain to the work of the blind 'n every field. She has watched the development of the Hadley Correspondence School for the Blind in Winnetka from its very be- ginning, and has shown a keen interest in it The extract which follows is from a letter she wrote to William A. Hadley recently. "Yours is a beneficient work which must not be allowed to fail through lack of support. It has more than justified the endeavor you and your friends have put into it. There is a special appeal in this work for those who desire to do good unto all men. What nobler use can wealth be invested in than the hap- piness of human beings? I am sure that the people in the different states will support your school if it is brought to their attention. Only show them that with small contributions they can ren- der timely and valuable service to the adult blind of the: state, and their will besno doubt about: wie maintenance of the -Hadley - Correspondence School for the blind in Winnetka." Help Red Cross Through Post, Legion is Asked Winnetka Post of the American Legion requests that its members send their subscriptions to the Americap Red Cross Roll Call to the Post, $0 that the local post may receive proper credit. The post finance officer or adjutant will gladly receive and properly ac- credit any such subscriptions, accord- ing to information received by the WINNETKA TALK. American Red Cross Roll Call, which has been going on throughout the country since November 10, and will continue until November 27, is the annual drive for the funds neces- sary to keep going the noble work of this national organization which does all it can to look after the wel- fare of service and ex-service men and woman and their dependents. Superintendent Clerk to Talk Before Young People Frederick E.

The parish house at Oak and Linden, Win- netka, will be the meeting place and 6:30 the appointed time.

LANE GREY FILM COMES TO COMMUNITY CENTER "Wanderer of the Wasteland," a Zane Grey Paramount production, di- rected by Irvin Willat and featuring Jack Holt, Kathlyn Williams, Noah Beery and Bille Dove, comes to the Community House Tuesday, Novem- berf 18. You've heard about the wonderful colorful photography in Cecil B. De- Mille's "The Ten Commandments?" Well, this one's done entirely in col- or. There's not a black and white sequence throughout the length of the film. Think of it! Fven if it weren't for the great story it really is, you should go see this picture just for the novelty of the thing. Remember, it's the very first really practical all-color produc- tion to be shown on the screen any- where. But it's more than just a novelty--much more. It's Zane Grey's greatest story brought to life. They say you can even see the different shades of sunburn on the players! FIVE MOTORISTS FINED Five motorists who faced Magistrate C. T. Northrop and Justice B. A. Nelson during the bolice court sessions this week, were each fined $10 and costs for speeding. They were Miss Ruth Hein, D. C.. Orcutt of Glencoe, H. J. Sullivan, F. C. Alexander and W. A. Slott of Chicago. Nr
