Adams Pharmacy The Rexall Store Phone Winnetka 2 Elm and Linden Want Gun Range Where Our Cops Can Get "Bead" The Winnetka Rifle association ex- pects very shortly to take up with the Village council the matter of pro- viding an indoor range, it was stated this week. The association, at the time of its formation last spring, had two things uppermost in mind, the first being the organization of a club under the Na- tional Rifle association, whereby men interested in rifle shooting are per- mitted to shoot on the Government range at Fort Sheridan. Back of the second object is the be- lief on the part of many of the men of Winnetka, that the members of the police department of the village should be provided with a place for practice in revolver shooting, and through the organization of a rifle association, it is felt, the village government might be brought to see the importance of providing the indoor range. In the instance of the members of the Winnetka Rifle association, rifles and arms are available to them any week-end, at Fort Sheridan, where two or three highly interesting shoots have already been held, one for a silver trophy last November, in which twenty-five men participated. An- other shoot will be held in April. Francis W. Parker, Jr., is president of the association; J. M. Dickinson, Jr., vice-president; I. M. Beale, sec- retary. I. H. G. Bouscaren is chair- man of the general membership and armament Mrs. J.

Start New Year With Impressive Morning Service The New Year's morning service, the first of its kind ever held in the Win- netka Congregational church, proved so inspiring and so popular that Dr. J. W. F. Davies has resolved to make of it an annual affair in future years. The service was held at 7 o'clock and extended over a period of only 45 minutes, in which the central thought was the importance of having an aim for achievement in the New Year. The attendance was even larger than had been anticipated. Many came directly from their New Year's fes- tivities. Others set their alarm clocks for the early rising and returned to their homes later for breakfast. In the address of Dr. Davies, he likened the New Year to a challenge. "The New Year," he said, "is like a winding stairway or a mountain you have never climbed. You don't know what's coming next. "This New Year," he said, "chal- lenges us to a vision of what we may become. We can get the vision by looking at the best men and women we know. The best man I know is Jesus. He is nearer like God than any man I know." And thus, with visions inspiring to better lives and resolutions to carry them on through the New Year, the object of the service was fully real- ized, proving helpful, not alone for the moment, but for the year now begin- ning. Miss Helen Blasius of 385 Birch street and Miss H. Mary Anderson of 1014 Pine street, were hostesses at a New Year's eve party given at 928 Asbury place, Chicago, the home of a friend.
