Ashley Gerhard at Christ church Sun- day morning, August 19, at the 11 o'clock services. NEW CHOIR LEADER Harry S. Walsh Will Come to Win- netka Congregational Church from Gary Memorial Church at Wheaton Harry S. Walsh, who for a number of years has been directing the church music and chorus of the Gary Memo- rial church at Wheaton, and who has wide experience in the leadership of church choruses, is coming to the Winnetka Congregational church, about October 1, to assume leadership of the choir, it is announced. Choirs To Be Combined At his suggestion the adult and Junior choirs are to be combined and will sing every Sunday. Increased ef- ficiency and added interest to the sing- ers themselves, it is felt, will result in this change. Further announcement is made that Miss Isabel Ebert, who has gained a very favorable reputation in Chicago as an organist, will preside at the or- gan at the Winnetka Congregationa] church during the coming season. The coming of Mr. Walsh and Miss Ebert to these important posts in the musical organization of the Winnetka Congregational church, follows the re- signations of Mr. Raymond Allyn Smith and Mr. George Lane, who have for several years rendered such val- uable service. Church Thanks Smith The current issue of the church bul- letin voices, perhaps, the sentiment of all its members, in saying: "We cannot let this announcement pass without expressing our apprecia- tion of the very splendid services ren- dered this church by Mr. Raymond Allyn Smith and Mr. George Lane. "Mr. Smith has not only shown rare ability at the organ but has proved himself a popular and successful choir leader, "Mr. Lane possesses not only a fine voice but that quality indispensable in a choir singer of reverent sincerity. "We wish them Godspeed in their new fields of service." No economy is more far-reaching than buying the best PRINTING you can get 0, °»* LLoyp HOLLISTER INC.

Fahey, who rates as one of the best players at the Skokie Playfield golf course, gave a fine exhibition of how the grand old game of golf is played when he finished first in the field of two hundred and sixty players competing in the eighth annual Silver Tassel tournament at the North Shore Golf club. Fahey was in great form as is in- dicated by the fact that in the morn- ing he negotiated the eighteen hole round in 38-42-80 and then came back in the afternoon with a sterling per- formance of 36-38-74, to register a total for the day of 154. Fahey's 154 won the first low gross prize for 36 holes, there being one hundred and thirty scores to tabulate before the winner could be determined. North shore golfers almost registered a monopoly on the first fifteen prizes, among those of the home club to gather awards being Al Wade, 156; Frank Snow, 156; H. H. Wolf, 158; William Fowler, 158, and H. H. Har- rison, 159. "A TENT AND THE STARS" "A Tent and the Stars" is announced as the sermon topic by the Rev. Thomas A. Goodwin, at the 11 o'clock Sunday morning service at Winnetka Congre- gational church. FOR MOTORISTS On the first page of the four- page section devoted to automobile news in this issue there will be found a two-column box containing information of importance to mo- torists of the north shore and par- ticularly those who "go touring." It tells of the condition of roads, where repairs are being made, the necessary detours, etc. BUSINESS MEN FROLIC AT PICNIC THURSDAY Tired But Happy Bunch of Pic- nickers Returns from Day's Outing at Gage's Lake That was a tired, but happy bunch which wended its way back to Win- netka, Thursday evening, at the con- clusion of the annual outing and bas- ket picnic of the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce. 5 The business houses of the village, including the banks, were closed throughout the day, and even the post office declared a half holiday that everyone might take a time off and join the picnickers. i It was for the business men, their employes and families, and also any friends who desired to go. It was the first annual event of the kind, held 'n lieu of the former Winnetka day cele- brations at West Elm street park. Ideal Spot for Picnic Thursday's picnic was out at Judge Decker's Gage's lake, 25 miles north- west of Winnetka, pronounced by everyone a most ideal spot for such an occasion. : The children, especially, enjoyed the day. The program of races in the afternoon included a long list of events for the young people. There were two baseball games, horse shoe pitching, swimming races and foot races of various kinds, with an abundance of prizes. Feld Official Starter A. Feld was the official starter in the various contests of this nature. He was assisted by Al Olsen and Gus Pe- ters. E. Belmont and Gust Lindwahl dis- tinguished themselves by their work in the box, during the diamond events, as did also Dr. Frank N. Woods, who, as a result of his stick work, earned the appellation of a "Second Babe Ruth." 4 He also won marked honors in the swimming race, and literally walked away with the Fat Man's race. Vic Killian and Bob Doepel were un- disputed champions in the horse shoe finals event. Golf Course Handy Brae Loch, a splendid daily fee golt course, adjacent to the picnic grounds, attracted many of the picnickers. It was an exceedingly warm day and the splendid lake, a mile wide and per- haps two miles long, claimed its share of bathers and swimmers. Others just lounged around under the shade of the splendid trees which abound on the grounds, but everyone is agreed that it is one of the most ideal spots in the Chicago area for a picnic, and it is said to be quite prob- able that the second annual outing by the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce will be at Gage's lake. Council to Ponder Tax Levy Ordinance Tuesday Among the many important matters to come before the Winnetka Village council at its meeting Tuesday eve- ning, August 21, will be the introduc- tion of the tax levy ordinance and a report from the Zoning commission on several proposed changes in the zoning ordinance.
