Eastman Head of Winnetka Militiamen Unit Members of the Winnetka Reserve Militia association, a unique outgrowth of a unique war-time organization, met in Community House, May 7, to hold their tenth annual dinner. About forty members were present to join in the songs, stories and enter tain- ment which for years have at- tracted at- orig- inality and the enthusi- asm with which they have been handled. Although a glance around the room might have dis- covered a few more gray hairs than ten years ago, there was no indication of age in the voices, the shouts and the laughter of those who were present. Norman K. Anderson, the retiring president of the association, was master of ceremonies. 'Harry P. Clarke spoke for the summer Train- ing camps for boys and the members present authorized the expenditure of sufficient money to send two deserv- ing Winnetka boys to the nearest mili- tary camp this summer. The new officers elected for 1928- 29 were: President, Charles J. East- man; Vice-president, Roy West, and secretary-treasurer, Hamilton Daugha- day. Starts Fund for Piano for Community House Mrs. Florence Webb who is the director of the Webb School of Danc- ing and under whose direction the delightful dancing entertainment was given at the Community House on April 30, has donated $50 to the Community House. This money has been deposited in a savings account as a nucleus of a fund with which to purchase a grand piano for the Com- munity House. It is hoped that other societies and organizations will feel moved to add to the fund with moneys obtained at such affairs and it is rea- sonable to suppose that no individual contribution would be refused. Council Will Receive Annual Village Reports The annual reports of Village Mana- ger H. L. Woolhiser and Chief of Police W. M. Peterson will be made at the meeting of the Village council Tuesday evening of next week. The Village Manager's report will cover the work of the various administrative de- partments, except that of the Police. Mr. Woolhiser will also present at this time a budget for the fiscal year, 1928- 29, for consideration by the council. All the reports will later be published C. J. Eastman in WINNETKA TALK. MOTHERS' DAY What a Mother Has 'a Right to Expect of her Son You've never thought very much about it, son, perhaps, but your mother has a right to expect that you'll be a real man some day, a man of character and of ideals. Your home, your training, your op- portunity, all these will aid you to find fullness and purpose in life. And deep down in your heart, be- neath the worries and triumphs of every boy's heart, you know that if you do your level best, that your manhood and service to the world will be real and above the ordinary. Your mother has a right to ex- pect some things for her sake, alone, son, that you will always hold woman-kind as sacred, that yoy will help to keep it pure and true and clean wherever you find it. Your mother has a right to ex- pect that you will some day pass on to another what she has given you; that you will sacrifice and suffer, and worry and dream and plan for another as she has done for you. Your mother expects manhood from you. It is her right . . . for she has given of womanhood for you. --Walter McPeek, in Boy Scout Bulletin. Local Legion Post to Purchase Burial Plot Winnetka Post No. 10, American Legion, at its meeting Monday evening voted to purchase sixteen graves at Memorial Park cemetery, and to erect a suitable monument on the site. The Post is occasionally called upon to pro- vide a burial place for a Legionnaire, and the foregoing plans will enable the Post to extend such aid. Carleton W. Washburne, superinten- dent of Winnetka Public schools, made an interesting talk on the schools and the Winnetka plan of education. Would you like your next job of PRINTING to be a real job? PHONE WINNETKA .2000 DYNAMITE AND OIL TO CHASE SKEETERS Abatement District Gets Job Un- der Way in Township; Other Agencies Give Aid The mosquito warfare, preparations for which have been underway for a long time, is now in full swing, accord- ing to Superintendent William Ed- wards of the North Shore Mosquito Abatement district. A crew of fourteen men is work- ing south from County Line road to Howard street, Evanston, the south- ern limits of the district, draining and oiling. These men are under the Mosquito Abatement district, and their number is being gradually augmented, the plan being to use the recruits, as soon as they become familiar with the work, to go into other sections of the territory, including the villages, on special cases, where the trucks cannot do the work. Oil Trucks on Way The four special oil trucks, each with 300 gallon capacity, the truck company announces, will be ready for delivery May 20. Each truck will be manned by a driver and a helper. Truck No. 1 will be assigned to the territory between the south line of Evanston to Lake street. Wilmette; truck No. 2 will operate from Lake street to the County line: truck No. 3 will serve all the villages west of the Skokie in the district; truck No. 4 will supply oil to any point in the district, where needed. Township Highway Commissioner J. A. Williams is co-operating effec- tively in the work, by deepening and widening the channel at the bridges on Willow and Happ roads and Win- netka avenue. Sanitary District Helping In hearty co-operation with the North Shore Mosquito Abatement dis- trict, the Sanitary district has started the work of dynamiting the river chan- nel. There are three gangs of dyna- miters, with six experts in each group. All are under the direction of Tony Ronzani, a man who has had years of experience in this kind of work. They go into the middle of the channel, and with steel rods jab holes about two and one-half feet deep in the river bottom and insert a stick of dynamite. The holes are about three feet apart. About 200 feet is thus prepared, when one stick is "touched off," the concussion thereof exploding the rest, the result being the opening of a deep, wide gap in the center of the river, insuring a free flow of water. After the ditch is thus bombed out, men with shovels, from the Mosquito Abatement district force, will keep the channel open. The dynamiting crew began work last Monday, south of Glenview, and will continue north to the County Line, following the east branch of the North Chicago river up through the Skokie. Superintendent Edwards says it is assumed they will be in the territory west of here next week, and the blasts which north shore residents have been hearing, but somewhat faint- ly, may become more pronounced. "Do not be alarmed," he says, "there (Continued on Page 9)
