This program will open on the second Monday in October, the regular league day for the month. Every effort possible is to be made to get out a still larger vote at the general election November 2, than was achieved in the recent elections. This is part of the national program of the league which is planned to remedy the serious ailments of nonâ€"appearance at the polls so prevalent among all classâ€" es of American citizens. J‘he Winâ€" netka league is also spurred on by a feeling of local civic responsibility in winning back for Winnetka the Amerâ€" ican flag offered by the Izaak Walton league, and which was awarded to Kenilworth this spring. Board Meets June 8 Mrs. Walter L. Benson, who has recently completed a successful twoâ€" year term as president of the Winnetâ€" ka league, has invited the new officers and members of the board to a lunchâ€" eon at her home Tuesday, June 8, in honor of the newly elected president, Mre. John N. Van der Vries.

It will coâ€"ordinate courses already taught in the school, and make possible new ones.

Macâ€" Cornack. _ President MacNeille has been authorized by the board to give final approval to the plans, and the trip to Cleveland was made to conâ€" serve time and insure an early start on the work. The campaign committee has mailâ€" ed to every person who has not subâ€" scribed to the fund, a letter signed by Edward R. Johnston, chairman, apâ€" pealing for subscriptions on the basis of a slight increase over one year‘s taxes. This letter set forth, also, the names of the 550 persons who have already _ subscribed â€" approximately $175,000, of which $75,000 has already been paid in cash.* "Soon a Reality" . At the same time the board of eduâ€" cation mailed a statement of its own position, declaring that "the time and effort spent on this matter have achieved success in that the building will soon be a reality, even though the fund has not yet been completed." The letter declares further that "all the committee has ever asked, and all that the board has ever desired is that each one should subscribe as near his share as he conveniently could with fairness to himself and his family. When this is done the fund will be oversubscribed." ’ HIGHLAND PARK, ILLINOIS, THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1926 The letter sets forth fully, the reaâ€"| sons that prompted the board and its‘ advisors to build the auditorium by | popular subscription instead of inâ€", creasing taxes to‘ accomplish the same purpose, an increase which would have | continued after the special purpose| was accomplished.

Glencoe Union church will open its summer school of religious education on Monday morning, June 21. A very large enrollment is expected this year, it is said. The following statement regarding the school was issued by Le Roy Clements, director of religious education at the church: "As the more intensive study and religious education program draws to a close, we anticipate the opening of our Summer school of Religious Eduâ€" cation. This offers one of the best means. of testing our character buildâ€" ing training and might well be called the practical school of |religious ‘eduâ€" cation. | OPEN SUMMER SCHOOL IN GLENCOE JUNE 21 Relifious Education Classes at Glencoe Union Church; Mrs. Colton Directs "The Summer sechool will open June 21, and will be held five mornings a week for five weeks, from 9 a. m. to noon. . The program will include Bible study and drill, handeraft, motion picâ€" tures, singing, nature study, and supâ€" ervised recreation. The school is parâ€" ticularly fortunate this year in securâ€" ing Mrs. Theron Colton to direct the nature study." If the Fuller‘s earth can not be dusted on easily, it may be mixed with gasoline, and squirted on with an oil can. "First: That the burden should be spread primarily on the basis of taxaâ€" tion and secondarily on the basis of one‘s ability to subscribe; and "Second: That when the job was completed all subscribers would be proud and happy to have assessed themselves voluntarily for their share in a commonâ€"sense, businessâ€"like manâ€" ner, and that, everyone whether he eventually subscribed or not, would feel free to use the building which will be his just as much as any other public buildings in Glencoe. "This board feels that it has acted wisely in not attempting to increase school taxes. It has so acted because of the confidence it has in the comâ€" munity which elected it to the position of trust which it holds, and it now asks the community to respond to its recommendations, based on its careful investigation and best judgment."

A resolution was adopted by the vilâ€" lage council of the town of Winnetka last Tuesday evening employing 8..8. Beeman as architect of the proposed new fire station, and authorizing him to proceed with detailed plans and specifications. Mr. Beeman has subâ€" mitted sketches of the proposed new fire station remodeled from the old Village hall. The plans are to conâ€" vert this into a roomy and attractive fire station, in harmony with the Winâ€" netka plan style of architecture. Work on the project will begin as soon as possible, it was said by village auâ€" thorities. â€" Submits Sketches to Winnetka 8. S. BEEMAN, ARCH.I'I'E#‘ FOR NEW FIRE STATION In deciding to remodel the old buildâ€" ing for fire station purposes much consideration was given by the memâ€" bers of the council to the various facâ€" tors in the situation. Originally it was planned to have the fire station in the new Village hall, but that was found to be impossible before work on the building was begun. Ever since that time the council has been conâ€" sidering various sites for the buildâ€" ing. It was finally decided that for the same amount of money which would be spent for a new site and a new fire house the old Village hall could beâ€"remodelled and a much larger and more attractive building secured. Beeâ€" man, the architect finally chosen for the fire station, looked over the buildâ€" ing and submitted sketches and plans some months ago. These have been under consideration ever since, and are essentially what will be used for the new building. HUBBARD WOODS ISSUES BUILDING PERMITS New Trust & Savings Bank Apâ€" ply for Permt; Many Alterâ€" ations and New Homes Application for a building permit to erect a building for the new Hubbard Woods Trust and Savings bank was made by the John Jeffrey company, builders, this week. As planned the new building will ‘be one story in height, of brick, stone and concrete construction and will cost $30,000. It will be located at 954 Linden avenue, Hubbard Woods. The plans and appliâ€" cation have been submitted to the architecture board of the village. Numerous: permits for alterations and garages were also issued during recent weeks. | A number of expensive new homes on Sheridan road which have been under construction are nearly completed. > > GLENCOE WILL NOT RENEW WATER CONTRACT Information was received by Village Manager H. L. Woolhiser this week that the village of Glencoe will not renew its water contract when it exâ€" pires September 1, 1927. Glencoe has decided to build its own water plant. An agreement between the villages has been reached to the effect that Winnetka will continue to supply water to Glencoe after the contract has expired, in case the new plant is not finished, up to May 1, 1928. It is understood, however, that in case of an emergency or an inadequate supâ€" ply the Winnetka demand shall have the preference. It was suggested by Glencoe that after the completion of its new plant the present connection the plant of either village may help the plant of eigth village may help the other in case of an emergency.
