The members of the school will sit with their teachers in a pew assigned to them, and the ushers will find places for children out- side the school who may be visiting at the time of this service, it is ex- plained. On Christmas morning there will be a celebration of the Holy Communion at 10 o'clock in the chapel and at 11 o'clock in the church on Sheridan road. Village to Make Check of Milk Supply Sources _ Plans to cooperate with Chicago in its fight against distribution of milk from tubercular cows were formulated at the last meeting of the village coun- cil when members voted to ask dairies supplying milk in the village to furnish a statement telling from what state and county the milk has been obtained. Trustee B. F. Langworthy who is in- terested in Dr. Herman N. Bundeson's pure milk fight in Chicago, has kept the matter before the Village council with the result that a milk ordinance patterned after the model ordinance offered by the state board of health is now being drawn up, in addition to the action taken at the last meeting. Offer Police Escort on Money Transfer Trips To eliminate the possibility of a hold-up in the village Chief W. M. Peterson has offered to supply any merchant transferring large sums of money with a police escort. This offer is open to all merchants in the village .and was contained in a letter sent to the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce recently. The service is free of charge, either day or night, Péterson informed the business men. Children Present Christmas Story; Contribute Gifts One of the most beautiful ways to come into the spirit of Christmas, one is reminded, is in the atmosphere of the early stories that surround the life of Jesus. No finer presentation of the story of the shepherds and wisemen has been put forth than that simple arrangement known as "The Adoration of the Kings and Shepherds" which will be presented this Sunday after- noon at 4 o'clock in the Winnetka Congregational church. The three choirs will sing supplementing the action of the shepherds and wisemen in connection with the manger scene. Girls representing angels will carry lighted candles and act as conductors to the different parts. At an appropriate place some of the children will present their gifts which are to be brought, later to be sent to Chicago Commons. This pageant 'is being directed by Mrs. Merritt Lum. The choirs are under the direction of Raymond Allen Smith. It will be necessary for every- body to be seated by five minutes to 4 o'clock, it is explained. "Since the foundation of Christmas is the child, Jesus," comments a church leader, "it is very necessary that chil- dren be brought into the presence of the vivid spirituality of this idea. It is for this reason that Christmas par- ties in the Church school have given way to such a service as this. Those Who "Hitch on" Will Tell It to Judge Adventurous children, or grown-ups, who attempt to hitch on behind auto- mobiles with their sleds will be arrest- ed and fined, it was announced this week by Chief of Police W. M. Peter- son. Last year, shortly before the close of the season, an ordinance was passed forbidding anyone to hitch on behind an automobile with a sled, be- cause of the danger to themselves and to other motorists. Several accidents were narrowly averted during the sea- son, while in other suburhg of Chicago several persons were killed in that way. Chief Peterson has ordered the police department to enforce the ordinance strictly. OMIT C. OF C. MEETING The Winnetka Chamber of Com- merce will hold no meeting during the month of December because the third Monday of the month, its regular meeting night, falls in Christmas week. This announcement was made by the secretary of the organization this week. HOLIDAY NOTICE! 'In view of the Christmas holidays, it will be necessary to advance the publication time for Winnetka Talk next week. It is therefore imperative that all advertising and news copy submitted for next week's is- sue be in the offices of Win- netka Talk, not later than Wednesday noon, December 23. NEW TRAFFIC RULES Chief Peterson Warns Winnetka Mo- torists That New State Regulations Go Into Effect January 1 Chief W. M. Peterson issued a warn- ing this week to local motorists to familiarize themselves with the new motor vehicle laws which were passed by the state legislature recently and which go into effect January 1, 1926. Chief Peterson advises motorists that these laws will be enforced when they go into effect and reminds all residents that ignorance of the law is no excuse. The new laws specify that after dark all motor cars shall have two lamps visible at least 200 feet in the direc- tion in which they are proceeding and that lights shall be dimmed when ap- proaching within 250 feet of another vehicle. The license plate shall be firmly attached and lighted so that it may be read at a distance of 50 feet. Vehicles must be provided with "good and sufficient" brakes and a suitable horn or other signal device. Only fire apparatus, police cars and ambu- lances may use bells, whistles or gongs as a signal device. All exhaust pipes must be directed paralel with the ground or slightly up- ward. No motor vehicle may be equipped with a cut-out which can be operated from within the car. There are a number of other less important changes in the motor vehicle law and all motorists are urged to learn them that they may comply with the law. Business Men Back Movement to Obtain Post Office Here A determined effort to secure a new post office for the village is being made by the Winnetka Chamber of Com- merce. This body, at its last meeting, 'nstructed the secretary to write a let- ter to Representative Carl R. Chind- hlom, Congressman for this district, asking him to introduce a bill at the coming session of Congress for the purpose of securing sufficient appro- priation to build a new post office in the village. To determine sentiment among resi- dents of the village, regarding a new post office a postal card vote was taken last year and the result showed ap- proximately 2,200 for and four against the proppsition. This almost unani- mous vote encouraged the Chamber of Commerce to keep up its fight for the new building. A year or two ago the post office premises were considerably enlarged, but, owing to the rapid growth of the community, the post of- fice must have a larger building if it is to give continued efficient service to residents. Sullivan Speed Fine Is Upheld in Higher Court Tndge John McGoorty, of the Crim- inal court in Chicago, recently dis- missed the appeal of Dennis J. Sulli- van, Jr, son of the Chicago judee, whose arrest and fine precipitated the recent police investigation in Winnetka. Sullivan had been fined $25 and costs hy Police Magistrate Ralph FE. Sins- heimer when charged by former Seret. John Iverson with traveling at the rate of 45 miles an hour on Sheridan road. Judge McGoorty sustained the fine im- posed by Sinsheimer. EMPLOY NEW POLICE FOR WINNETKA FORCE Village Officials Announce Plan of Effective Reorganization of Department Four new policemen were placed on the department by the Village au- thorities this week as the first step in what is understood to be a com- prehensive reorganization of the de- partment along new lines. In addition, it is said, the department will get two more men after the first of the year, much new equipment, and a book of rules and regulations based on that used by the Chicago police depart- ment. The four men, who are now ap- pointed for a 30-day probationery pe- riod, are Eugene Schubert, motor- cycle policeman; Rhys Fuidge, motor- cycle policeman; _Frank Rayburn, patrolman, and William Gorman, pa- trolman. Gorman and Schubert are residents of Winnetka, and the other two men are familiar with the north shore and have had experience as policemen. The code of rules to be adopted, will be published in book form which will be furnished to every policeman in the village. It will include infor- mation on nearly every problem which could confront a policeman and will establish certain definite policies to be employed in handling the public. Asset to Police The Chicago book of regulations, on which it is being modeled, contains in- formation concerning the proper man- ner in which to make arrests, including the legal standing of the policeman in certain cases, care of arms and equipment, the proper procedure in cases of accidents, first aid treatment and many other things. It specifies what actions constitute a violation of certain ordinances or statutes, defines the duties of a policeman and gives much information in regard to hand- ling crowds and meeting emergencies. Chief Peterson said that in the future a card index system will be used and the record of every officer on the force will be carefully maintained. Any derogatory marks will be kept on the record card together with mention of any instances of unusually good work. This is expected to result in 2a better morale in the department and will make it clearly understood just where every man stands at any time, it is explained. Indian Hill Club Opens Winter Sports' Season With the erection of the toboggan slide, winter sports are now in full swing at the Indian Hill club. Jack Davis has arrived from California to take up his duties as skating instruc- tor and is already busy with his pupils, both junior and senior. The opening dance was given last Saturday and no- tices are soing out for the regular New Year's Eve supper dance from 10 to 2 o'clock, which is the outstand- ing event indoors. The hockey team, last season's vie- tor's of the north shore league, is prac- tising for the series of games with lake Forest, Highland Park, and Evanston, which will be played again on Robert Ripley's pond west of the golf course.
