2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1922 NEW CITY DIRECTORY FOR THE NORTH SHORE R. L. Polk Company Obtains Approval of North Shore Business Organizations for Up-to- date Directory Written plans of the proposed new city directory for the north shore were received recntly from the R. I. Polk Co., Detroit, by Secretary Charles W. Ward of the Evanston Chamber of Commerce. The plans followed an informal approval of the Polk company's type of directory by various north shore business organi- zations. At a meeting of the Evanston Re- tail Board which unofficially approved the Polk directory, the McCoy Co. of Rockford, which had been a strong bidder in the field, withdrew. The Polk company, it is understood. has already obtained rights on the north shore directory from the Bumstead Co., the former publishers. The Polk company's directory will contain a section dealing with town and county government, banks, post offices, churches and society informa- tion. There will be a street and ave- nue guide, the numbers of houses and | the heads of families being listed. In| the list of names in the proper will be given a man's last name followed by his first name and mid- dle initial, his occupation and street number. The names of all business firms will be listed, giving the names of the officers and the nature of the business. A unique feature of the Polk com- pany's service will be a library of city directories of 500 cities to be established at the office of the Cham- ber of Commerce. These will be open to the public, and will be kept strictly up to date, new directories from the various cities in the United States being added as soon as they are published.

Hibbard on Forest Preserve Board Named Member of Citizens Commit- tee Which Promotes Development of Forest Preserves William G. Hibbard of Win- Mrs. netka, well known to north shore residents as one of the foremost sponsors of the development of the Skokie as a part of the Cook County Forest Preserve, was this week ap- pointed a member of the citizens' committee, which is working in con- junction with the County board to promote plans for enlargement and increased beautification of the great county garden spot and play ground. Mrs. Hibbard, who was selected to succeed Col. Robert R. McCormick, appears on the committee with Vic- tor F. Lawson, Dwight H. Perkins, William A. Peterson, John C. Vaughan and Charles H. Wacker.

Four million residents of Cook county enjoyed the facilities of the Forest Preserve during 1921, accord- |ing to Daniel Ryan, president of the i county board. That number will be doubled in 1922, President Ryan, es- | timates, in urging additional facilities' for the comfort and convenience or the pleasure-seekers. Plans for betterment quiring more forests, include ac- reforestation of barren land, establishment of the zoological gardens proposed by Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormick, and the protection of bird and flower life. i MARK TWAIN BUOYS YOUR SPIRITS IN "YANKEE" FILM At no time in the history of the American nation has there been so great a need for the wholesome. hearty, even pedagogic humor of Mark Twain, as right now. With the | minds of the people in the darkest hour of the reconstruction era, his fanciful, good natured manner of dealing with life as it is lived in all times, is the best tonic conceivable. At the Woods theater is being shown a film version of his greatest iwork of this nature, "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court." And | how better than by the film could the humor of the "Great Humorist" be translated and brought to the under- | standing of the restless, dissatisfied populace of today? When troubles seem insurmount- able nothing could better teach us the truth of the slang expression, "It won't make any difference a thousand | years from now."
