RF» ~& o WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1918 KEEP RAVINIA OPEN FOR THE FIGHTERS Success Of The Entertainment Last Saturday and Sunday Insures Continuance of War Recrea- tion Work ENTERTAINED 35,000 MEN Special Events To Interest Public and Uniformed Men Planned For Week-end By Bruce MacLeish The Ravinia club announces that the splendid attendance at the "Great Lakes All-Star Vaudeville" in the Ravinia Park pavilion last Saturday and Sunday, the entire proceeds from which go into the War Recreation fund of the club, has provided a substantial fund which insures the sucessful continuance of the enter- tainment of large numbers of sailors and soldiers at Ravinia Park every Saturday and Sunday as long as is reasonably possible. As was expected of them, the boys from the Great Lakes put on a great show, and a large majority of those who saw them have expressed the feeling that they never got more for their money. The War Recreation Board of Illinois has promised fur- ther assistance for the continuation of the work at Ravinia Park. Biggest Work Of Its Kind A representative of the War De- partment made the statement at a meeting the other day that the War Recreation Work at Ravinia Park was the largest of the kind being carried on anywhere in the country. The statement of the Ravinia club made within the week shows that more than 35000 boys in uniform were entertained at the park during the ten weeks of the season, the week-end attendance only once fall- ing below 2000 and averaging well over 3,000. 3,000 boys have attended the supper-dances on Saturdays and more than 5000 have attended the Sunday evening entertainments in the club rooms and in the theater. But something of the huge accomp- lishment of the Ravinia club may be judged from the fact that, with the splendid co-operation of the club sub-committees in the various north shoré towns more than 45000 suppers were served free to the sailor and soldier boys between" June 29 and September 2. The officers of the club, referring briefly to the great number of evidences of the value of this War Recreation work, say that they can testify, to the great credit of their guests in uniform, that not one of all the 35.000 boys has abused the hos- pitality offered him. Organization Enlarged The club has increased its organ- ization to continue the work as long as is reasonably possible. The Ra- vinia company has generously given the use of the park and buildings. The entire first floor of the Casino has been turned into a most attract- ive club, providing reading, writing and lounging rooms for the'men in uniform. The second floor of the Casino, which is the ball room, will be used for the Saturday night danc- es and for serving supper when in- clement weather drives the boys in- side. The enclosed theater, which will seat over 1,000 boys, will be the scene every Saturday and Sunday night of high-class vaudeville per- formances. Football, baseball, races, athletics, stunts, band concerts, and military events will keep things go- ing with a rush every Saturday and Sunday afternoon, and supper will be served, without charge, both days to every man in uniform. Needless to add that the program for Saturday and Sunday provides entertainment and good cheer for the boys from the minute they set foot in the park till they take the last train back to camp. Last Saturday and Sunday there | weré very interesting games, athletic events and a unique band competition between two Great Lakes bands for a silver cup prize. Judge Ben Linds- ley, who has just returned from a most interesting experience at the front, was, with Mr. Hopkins, of the War Community Service, a guest -of the Ravinia club, and gave the boys and the public a fascinating account of some of his experiences. Army-Navy Game Saturday Next Saturday afternoon, Septem- ber 14. there will be a Great Lakes band at Ravinia, an Army vs. Navy baseball game, races, tugs of war, pillow fights, etc, providing a very interesting afternoon to which the public is invited. On Sunday after- noon there will be another Great Lakes Band concert and an Army vs. Navy Soccer Football game, with races and pillow fights thrown in for good measure. Children 14 and under are admitted free and the charge for the public is only 50 cents, which goes direct to the War Recreation work. B-E--R-E-A-D-Y This Is Information For Families of Men In Service Claims for insurance on life of a soldier or sailor should be addressed to the Bureau of War Risk Insur- ance, Compensation and Insurance Claims Section, Treasury Depart- ment, Washington. If no letter has been received from a soldier or sailor for an unreason- able length of time ask of the Bureau of Communication, American Red Cross, Washington, D. C. Inquiries concerning men wounded or killed in service or authentically reported wounded or killed should go to the same bureau. In asking for information of any kind, the full name of the soldier or: dt H a he soldie LS | tecting, constructing new catch basins sailor, his serial number, his comp- any and regiment or other unit his rank, age and the date of his entry into the service should be written at the top of the letters. Disregard of rumors which in many cases are enemy propaganda, is advised by the Red Cross. Except in a few rare instances, families have been not notified promptly of casual- ties. B-E--R-E-A-D-Y Careful Addressing Speeds Mail To The Navy Boys Secretary Daniel's rules for ad- dressing letters to men in the naval service say: "Write the name out in full; do not use initials. Write leg- ibly or print it." Letters should be sent, always, in care of the Postmaster of New York, and where the station of the person is known it should be put on, except that naval bases should be designat- ed by number, not by name. Here is a specimen address: John Charles Doe, Machinist's Mate, Second Class, U. S. Naval Base §, Care Postmaster New York. When the station is not known, letters should be sent to U. S. Naval Headquarters, London, care of New York Postmaster. Most of the delays that occur are due to incomplete or illegible ad- dresses. B-E--R-E-A-D-Y Three Wise Women Of Today She who places her faith in the ar- mies of her country and her mo- ney in its treasury: She who provides food for her fami- ly by preserving it against the coming winter: She who saves labor for war work by going without luxuries, and who gives her own time to useful pro- duction: appear on the hearing and make their defense.
