WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1925 LOCAL AL CLUBS SEND DELEGATES TO TENTH DISTRICT MEETING Winkeths Vere Viiers Assume Foot of Dime Campaign HE March luncheon for the Win- netka League of Women Voters was held last Monday in Com- munity House with 65 women present. The first problem confronting the organization was the raising of $150 for the support of the league. The very small dues that each individual pays supply less than one fourth of the cost of carrying that individual as a member, and though the state league funds partly make up that deficit Win- netka's share of financial responsi- bility is $150 this year. Instead of procuring funds from public entertainment and bridge par- ties, the members have decided to raise this sum among themselves, as- suming 150 feet of the mile of dimes to be raised throughout the state. Seventy-five of these feet, each of which will hold ten dimes, were given out at the meeting. The remaining 75 feet will be dis- tributed to other league members so that all may help share the Winnetka league's financial responsibility in this way. Any member wishing a "foot" to fill may obtain it from the league treasurer, Mrs. Austin Jenner, 1005 Hill road. At the close of the luncheon, H. IL. Woolhiser, the village manager, ex- plained the city manager form of gov- ernment of Winnetka, a plan in use here since 1915. He also described the duties of the various officers of the village from the president down. He urged every one to go to the polls to vote on April 7, particularly as this year, for the first time in many, many years, a contest is expected. Mr. Woolhiser also explained the township form of government as it operates in New Trier township and described the duties of the various officials there who are also up for election on April 7. Mrs. Walter Dodd of Chicago, who has given a series of five lectures for the league, spoke on the short session of Congress. She said that though Presi- dent Coolidge recommended the pass- ing of 28 different bills, Congress had, in the session just closed, enacted but nine of them and most of these were minor matters. The only two bills passed of general interest were, she said, the bill raising the salaries of postal employes and the bill author- izing improvements of river and har- bor projects. She also stated that the short session of Congress tradition- ally enacts the routine things and lets the more important matters go over until the long session; and that the best that could be said in favor of the last session of the Sixty-eighth Congress is that the budget was not disturbed and that there was very little pork barrel legislation. The meeting adjourned at 3 o'clock. Mrs. Walter Benson, the president, was back in the chair for this meet- ing after an absence of three months in the South. The annual meeting of the league to be held at Community House on April 13, will close the work of the fiscal year. Winnetka Woman's Club The regular meeting of the Winnet- ka Woman's club was held on Thurs- day, March 5. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and ap- proved.

The next regular meeting of this club, on March 19, will be a joint meeting of the civics and philanthropy committee and the Winnetka League of Women Voters. Miss Schmidt will speak on "The Geneva Protocol." The subject of the afternoon meeting on March 5, "Nursery Schools," was presented in a most illuminating manner by Mrs. Walter T. Fisher. Schools of this type are quite a recent development and the idea has spread very rapidly. The first nursery school was started by the McMillan sisters in London in 1913. The idea was to nurture and to provide culture, opportunity, and back- ground for creative ability. Programs with organized play, both outdoors and in, nourishing food, and relaxation are part of the school schedule. Games are selected to develop physical control of muscles. The schools also aim to teach social and emotional control. Mrs. Fisner spoke in a delightfully in- formal manner and shared with her audience many interesting tales of her own little school. The hostesses for the afternoon were: Mrs. Christy Brown, Mrs. Harry P. Clarke, Mrs. George W. Gordon, Mrs. Dwight P. Green, Mrs. Elmer E. Stults, and Mrs. John Cordner West.
