There was no organized in the May issue of "The American invited to inspect these offerings of year at the annual meeting of the as- ii a Ces { ~<A program. No formality at all about it. People just came and went as they pleased, and more kept coming, and more and more--by automobile, on foot, by the school buses. They stream- ed in all the afternoon until any at- tempt to keep track of the total proved hopeless. Conservatively estimated, some 2000 of Winnetka's population "looked her over." It's safe to say no one was disap- pointed with the new building. Many who had not studied the plans were greatly surprised at the practical lay- out, the attractive surroundings, the equipment which our upper grade children will have throughout the years to come. Bone-Dry Playground The beautifully lighted class rooms, with floods of sunshine and a view over the wide expanse of playground-- bone-dry, though the Skokie was flooded--divided admiration with the spacious gymnasium and assembly hall. Children dragged parents to see their new rooms and especially to see, in the Art room fireplace, the tiles which the children themselves had made. The assembly hall was still filled with scaffolds, but its impressive dimensions were evident, while the unique placing of the gymnasium which permits the two halls to be thrown together was much commented on. "Yes, it costs a lot of money, but it's worth it," was frequently said. And those of the inspecting assemblage who by their own subscriptions have helped make this school possible took just pride in achievement. Much work remains to be done on the assembly hall, but the class rooms will be practicable for classes by Monday noon, and the first bus trips will begin then. Final Canvass Sunday And now, tomorrow, comes the final step in the new school project the canvass of those who have not yet made their subscriptions. Cards have been assigned to a large number of solicitors who have agreed to call upon their neighbors and friends and pre- sent the opportunity of having a part in the building fund. Some $42,000 is yet to be raised, and as the school is now a reality--in fact, ready for actual use--it is believed Winnetka will lose no time in saying "the fund shall be JANG-LAMKE JINX Plea PRIGE LIaT Queer Car Prices Appear in Half Page "Ad" Jans-Lamke Motor Company, dis- tributors of the "Good" Maxwell, the Columbia Six and the Haynes 75 and 55, found their jinx working in the composing room and as a result in the half-page advertisement in The Loke Shore News, last week, the prices were all jumbled up. One could not tell whether he was buying a "Good" Maxwell coupe or a Columbia Six touring car for the prices seemed to mean nothing at all. The Jans-Lamke Motor Company, 1013-15-17 Davis street, carries in stock full lines of these four automobiles and are extending a cordial invitation to the public to view the models which they have in stock when purchasing thieir spring cars this .year. The Haynes 75 is one of the most beau- tiful cars on the street and its com- panion, the Haynes 55, in the adver- tisements referred to were the only (Continued on page 14} BISHOP IS PREACHER AT CHRIST CHURCH SUNDAY Much enthusiasm was expressed by the congregations at the Easter Ser- vices in Christ church when the rec- tor of the Parish, Rev. E. Ashley Gerhard, announced that the preacher at tomorrow's 11 o'clock service will be the Rt. Rev. Herman Page, D. D,, Bishop of Spokane. Bishop Page is very widely known and loved by many of our Winnetka people. For years he was rector of St. Paul's church, Kenwood, Chicago, where he stood out as a leader, not only in his church but in the entire Magazine" of an article entitled, "A Town Where People Pull Together." Yes, you have guessed it easily, "the town where people pull together" is-- Winnetka. And, no doubt you have just as easily guessed what institution is written about under such an -enthu- siastic heading--none other than our Community House. Center is '"Main-Spring" With remarkable insight into our village life, the author, Keene Sum- ner, has placed Community House as the mainspring of that Winnetka spirit of which we are all proud. He tells of a young couple who, as the author says: "saw in a Brooklyn mov- ing picture theater, pictures of real life in a real town." Hoping but hardly expecting that some day they might come to that real town, the au- thor tells us that they finally did; and then he goes on to portray the ad- vantages they enjoyed for themselves and their children. Who is the young couple referred to? Mr. Sumner does not tell us, but as we read, we do not find it difficult to fit ourselves into the story and from the fitting, gain a new appreciation of the advantages all of us have too often taken as a matter of course. How It Started Those of us who have wondered just how Community House got its start-- yes, have waited in vain for our modest "Chief" Davies to tell us something about himself, will be re- warded in Mr. Sumner's article. "The real beginning of Community House," we learn, "was with a group of three boys who complained to Mr. Davies eleven years ago 'There ain't a thing in this town for a kid to do." Davies resolved then and there that there would be 'something for the kids to do,' and from that starting point is traced the development of the idea, how other men in Winnetka caught the en- thusiasm and how Community House resulted." Mr. Davies is quoted as telling many interesting incidents that few in Winnetka may know about; how the Hallowe'en party, now an .annual gathering of 1,500 people, came to be; what changed the atmosphere of the annual Fireman's Ball; the real rea- son for the remarkable democratic spirit in Winnetka. Most astonishing the girls. ambitious girls. Bench Experiences served at 6:30 o'clock. Ries "Do your Saturday baking at the Camp Fire Girls' Food Sale," is the word sent out to housewives by the JUDGE THOMSON NEXT MEN'S CLUB SPEAKER durin The Sent fu Terminated and Winnetka Leader to Relate Winnetka"s own Judge Charles M. Thomson, one of three jurists on the bench of the Illinois Appellate court, who has had before him many of the most important criminal cases in Cook county, is to be the speaker at the last of this season's Winnetka Men's club dinners. Judge Thomson's subject will be, "My Experience in the Criminal Court." The time is Thursday eve- ning, April 27, the place in Winnetka Community House. Dinner will Judge Thomson, as most Winnet- be sociation Tuesday of last week. Officers selected to work with Mr. Felsenthal in the direction of the as- sociation's important community civic activities were as follows: J. M. Dick- inson Jr., first vice president; William J. Mecllvaine, second vice president; Orval Simpson, secretary, and Harry McLain, treasurer. The asociation has been very active a valuable service to the community by their interests and efforts. The association was particularly active in connection with the deliberations on the Village Zoning regulations as af- fecting the north section of the vil- lage. Committees were in attendance at all the open meetings of the Zoning Commission during the winter. With the extensive improvements going forward in the vicinity of the Hubbard Woods Station park, and on the property at North and Linden ave- nues recently purchased from the vil- lage by Harry McLain, several prob- lems have come up for consideration by the association. These it is ex- isfaction of a majority of the residents in the neighborhood. i Ea bons a art, 3 nsor-such pected, will all be solved to the sat- kans, know, is an extremely interest- ing speaker with a message he is eminently qualified to talk upon and which will be presented in his char- acteristic forceful and effective man- ner. His talk Thursday evening is cer- tain to be one of the best heard dur- ing the current season. Judge Thom- son has had experiences that will startle the listener. He has delved deep- ly into human nature as brought out so vividly and real in the courts of justice.
