WINNETKA TALK an October 20, 1928 WESTMOOR TRAIL --in Winnetka Here, you have beauty, privacy, freedom from noise and dirt and traffic. On a private drive just completed, with all improve- ments underground, to be supplemented with landscap- ing in keeping with its high character, in a neighborhood unexcelled, close to schools-- with all the advantages of country life and yet within the limits of our own Village of Winnetka. Surely Westmoor Trail offers all that is desirable for that home you desire to build. In talking with a Real Estate man conversant with conditions in Winnetka, he made the statement that there were probably less than one hundred desirable lots in Winnetka, suitable for home building, many of them only fifty, seventy-five feet front- ages, very few a hundred feet or more. One by one they are being picked off, and once gone, always gone. With approximately half of Westmoor Trail sold, even before improvemerrts are completed, all purchased by Winnetka residents for home-building, is evidence that at the prices at which these lots are offered, they are the outstanding big value for those who appreciate and can have home-sites of this character. For appointment, Phone GLEN C. BULL Winnetka 1016, or Central 6970 Supt. Washburne Joins Staff of New Magazine Supt. Carleton W. Washburne of the Winnetka Public schools is a member of the editorial board of a new maga- zine, "Individual Instruction," the first issue of which is to come off the press this month.

For this month's issue Superintendent Washburne has written an article entitled, "Fitting the School to the Child: Practical First Steps," the first of a series of four articles which he will write for the magazine on the methods followed in the Winnetka school system. Country Day School Team in Football Clash Today The North Shore Country Day school's football schedule for this week includes a game today on the local field with a team from the Chicago Latin school. The game will be called at 10 o'clock A. M. On Friday the North Shore Junior Varsity played the Skokie heavies; North Shore middle- weights met the Skokie middleweights and North Shore lightweights played the Skokie lightweights. Fourth Grade Pupils View Movies on Social Science The first motion picture of the school year at the Hubbard Woods school was shown last Friday afternoon at 2:30 at the regular assembly. "The Sky" and "The Earth" were the sub- jects of two reels, each lasting fifteen minutes. The pictures were in keeping with the fourth grade social science work. Next week the full-blooded Sioux Indian who sang and danced in costume at the Skokie school recently will give a similar entertainment at the Hubbard Woods school. See Mrs. Grant for Your Artist Recital Tickets There has been some confusion as to the proper method of securing tick- ets for the Winnetka Music club artist recital series. Subscribers have wondered whether they are to call for their tickets, or whether they will be mailed to them. Tt was announced definitely this week that the tickets must be obtained from Mrs. Bessie Grant, secretary of the club, at her office in the Winnetka State bank. The tickets will not be mailed. Supreme Court Hears Arguments in Zoning Appeal Case Monday The case of Bjork vs. Zoning Appeal Board of Lake Bluff, which is ex- pected to become one of the leading cases in Illinois on zoning, was orally argued at Springfield before the Su- preme Court of Illinois on Monday. Arguments were addressed to the Court by Alexander H. Marshall of the firm of Marshall & Marshall, Chicago, and by Henry P. Chandler of the firm of Tolman, Sexton & Chandler, Chi- cago. Members of the Supreme Court dur- ing the arguments asked a number of questions which indicated their inter- est in the case; and it is expected that an opinion will be handed down which will be of inestimable value to zoning experts in establishing a prece- dent for future zoning. Mr. and Mrs. Harold J. Schafehen, 438 Birch street, have just returned from a trip to Colorado. They stop- ped to visit relatives at McCook, Neb., and then proceeded to Denver, Colo- rado Springs, and Manitou.
