HE annual meeting of the Win- netka League of Women Voters was held Thursday, May 10, at 11 o'clock, followed by a luncheon at the Winnetka Woman's Club. After the various reports from the different committees were read, the new offi- cers for the ensuing year were el- ected, as follows: . Miss Elizabeth Gemmell, President; Mrs. Walter T. Fisher, 1st Vice Pres- ident; Mrs. Emmons Blaine, Jr. 2nd Vice President; Mrs. H. L. Wool- hiser, Recording Secretary; Mrs. Mil- ton Blair, Corresponding Secretary; Mrs. George Stanley Parker, Treas- urer. Mrs. Emons Blaine, Jr., gave a very interesting talk on the recent Convention held by the National Lea- gue of Women Voters in Des Moines |in April. She specially dwelt on the subject of World Peace, which discus- sion was led by prominent speakers, such as Judge Allen of Ohio, Lord Robert Cecil, Miss Julia Lathrop, | Herbert Hoover, and Mrs. Clifford Pinchot. Mrs. Blaine explained that the Convention went on record as ap- proving a Court of International Jus- tice, and expressed itself as desiring to abolish war and maintain abiding peace. Mrs. William G. Hibbard, Fourth Regional Director, followed Mrs. Blaine by a talk about the Convention, in which she emphasized the fact that a widespread interest in international relations has been awakened in this country, citing as an example the Round Table discussions about world problems that had been started in Minneapolis, which have had splen- did results. Then, too, the League has succeeded in enlisting the support of Mr. W. A. Steffes, who is President of the Northwestern Motion Picture Theatre Owners. Mr. Steffes is back- ing a plan to show in every moving picture theatre controlled by his or- ganization a series of quotations from prominent men and women on Peace, Disarmament, and International Co- operation. These facts concerning world peace are to be given wide- spread publicity throughout the coun- try. Mrs. Hibbard urged that the members of the Winnetka League write to Mr. Steffes, telling him that they have heard of his plan and that they heartily indorse it and hope that it can be extended to Illinois. Following this meeting a delight- ful luncheon was served in the club rooms. FW That "On Fairies' Wings" is an as- sured success, socially at least, is the conclusion drawn after glancing over the long list of prominent residents in the village, who are sponsoring the perform- ance, and are thoroughly interested in the building plans for the National Kin- dergarten and Elementary college, which is to be moved to the Wilmette-Evans- ton boundry line, as soon as sufficient funds can be procured to erect new buildings on the recently purchased campus site.
