After they begin reading it they keep right on as if they liked the taste. They look as if they were reading every single word. At intervals they read an item aloud to some one sitting near. A weekly paper is worth read- ing, full of news about neighbors and friends. We all like to know the latest news about those with whom we are associated. It's in- teresting to learn that James Barry and Ellen Holmes are to be married the coming June. In- formation as to what the Village Trustees did at last week's meet- ing usually attracts us. It is gen- erally a good-looking sheet. Good black printing on nice white pap- er. Every word easily read. Gen- eral appearance pleasing. No scandal or gossip, but, still, plenty of news. The weekly community paper is a home paper. Its coming is looked forward to, and when it arrives it is read by every mem- ber of the family, and often by the near neighbors. It is not thrown aside like the daily paper but stays on the liv- ing room table all week with the other weekly and monthly peri- odicals. The statements made above are facts gleaned from a survey of some 16,000 community papers, made recently by the Boston Chamber of Commerce. We trust that our readers find the Win- netka Weekly Talk a worthy member of this Community newspaper family. SWIMMING The swimming meet of May 12 at New Trier ought to draw a big crowd. There's something fascinating about fancy and fast swimming. A land race isn't half so thrilling as a water race. May- be it's the ancestral fish in us that responds. And diving, too. A clean sharp dive without a splash is a very pleasant sight. It's the skill dis- played that gets us. A sprint to the spring-board's end, a grace- ful curve in the air, a chug into the water! Very pretty! Will you be on hand to see the Aquators May 12? HEALTH REGULATIONS We ought to believe that health regulations are for our own good and that legal prosecu- tion of violators of these regu- lations is in the interest of even the violators themselves. Let us be law-bidding citizens. Let us obey our laws even though we may think them open to cri- ticism. For example, let every parent whose child seems to have whooping cough report the fact immediately to the health officer and quarantine the child immedi- ately. MAKE YOUR INFLUENCE FELT! An authority on Greek archi- tecture, Professor Jay Hambidge of Yale University, says that the Fine Arts Building in Jackson Park is surpassed only by the Parthenon as the most beautiful building in the world. Saint- Gaudens, famous American sculptor, judges it the most beautiful classic building since the time of Pericles. This second most beautiful building in the world may be- come a thing of the past if you and other citizens do not take steps to prevent such a sacrilege. It can be restored to permanent form for $2,000,000. If built anew it would cost six times as much--3$12,000,000. What can North Shore men and women do? Give the restoration move- ment all the publicity you can. Talk about it to your friends and neighbors. Realize what this beautiful building means to you and. to your children and by ad- vocating its restoration fill others with the same spirit of helpful enthusiasm. Talk it to the next person you meet! CHURCHES One of the most noticeable changes in the church idea is the shifting of emphasis from the me- taphysical to the physical. Less is made in our churches now-a-days of theological dogmas and more of social meetings. It seems more profitable to care for men, women, and children as present and future citizens of the Republic than as possible inhabi- tants of a future heaven. The specifications of almost every new church make reference to club rooms, kitchens, gymnasiums, stages and swimming pools. Nothing like these things when we went to Sunday School! THE COMMUTER'S TICKET May has come, and a nice little slice of our month's income has gone out for a monthly ticket. Men may come and women may go but the monthly ticket goes on coming every month. New leaves are bud- ding on the bridal wreath bush. Dandelions are showing on the lawn. The grackle is driving the robin from the bird bath beneath the juniper bush. As the conduc- tor comes around and punches our ticket, and the little pasteboard pieces drop to the floor, we think of how undignified it is for a great big man to punch tickets. But, then, it has to be done. GARDENS Do you know the delights of gardening and of contemplating your garden? Gardening is a pleasant occupation, from the firs aroma of the earth in early spring to the covering with leaves in the late fall. As we walk about the village we note the yellow blooms of the for- sythia and the daffodils. The fra- grant hyacinth, also, is recklessly blossoming in the fact of a possible cold snap. Do you remember the poet who was convinced that God dwelt in his garden? FIRES Every time we read about some- body else's house burning up we naturally worry a little about ours. Suppose when we went home to- night our neighbor's little boy should run to meet us with a "Your house is on fire!" What an empty feeling we'd have! So we do our best to prevent all possibility of fire. Then we sleep well nights and work well days. POCKET BOOKS The world's classics at ten cents each have certainly spread culture. We never should have read Plato's "Pheido" if we hadn't got it for ten cents at a drug store. It was well-printed and neatly bound. It took up almost no space in our overcoat pocket. We read it mostly on trains and street cars. It's the little book read a little avery day that gets you ahead. Handle Twelve Billion Telephone Calls a Year The American people make twelve bil- lion calls a year on the telephones of the Bell system alone. The magnitude of this telephone traffic may be further visualized by the statement that the Bell telephone companies employ 130,000 operators and serve some 9,500,000 sta- tions. These operators are located in 5,800 offices, the buildings and land alone representing an investment of nearly $160,000,000. For Happy Health Get the milk habit. Drink plenty of pure, fresh BOWMAN'S MILK every day. The creamy richness of BOW- MAN'S MILK contains the vita- mines and lime absolutely neces- sary for growth and health. Frequent inspections under rigid supervision assure purity at the source. This infinite care is evi- dent at every stage from farm to you.
