Dr. Brown left Vancouver with a party of seven other missionaries on August 9. She still has a journey of some 00 miles up the Yangtse-Kiang river to Wuchang, where the church general hospital, of which she is to take charge, is located. Dr. Brown, during and immediately following the World war, was Win- netka's relief worker among the destitute Serbians. She accomplished a great work in that war-ridden country, receiv- ing a large portion of the required funds from Winnetka citizens.

The expression of approval by the county commissioners was given following a discussion of the merits of the plan at a luncheon at the Hotel La Salle. Limit Forest Preserve Area The commissioners stated that the state legislature in its most recent session limited the Cook County Forest Pre- serve to 35,000 acres, 25,000 of which is already acquired, leaving about 10,000 still to be added to the great "Chicago playground." The commissioners agreed with the circle members that the Skokie tract should be acquired as soon as possible "in view of the fact that land values are rapidly increasing. Following the conference with the commissioners, the circle was addressed by Dwight Perkins, chairman of the Chicago Regional Plan commission, who stated that the original idea of de- BODY ORGANIZED Citizen Auxiliary Formed to Aid Paid Department for the ap- months, to be the prowlers and Excellent police protection Winnetka is promised for proaching fall and winter known in police circles "harvest time" for house-breakers. As a result of a meeting of a group of Winnetka men in the Illinois Ath- letic club, and attended by Chief of Police Peterson, plans were inaug- urated for the reorganization of an ef- fective citizen police body to have as 'ts purpose close co-operation with the regular paid department in re- in individuals participated the {frolic which was easily the greatest township holiday event known fo the north shore. Beginning early in the morning with the mammoth parade that stretched from Wilmette almost to Winnetka, every de- tail of the day was worked out to per- fection and Old Man Weather chimed in with his best assortment of the far- famed north shore climate. Parade Beautiful Sight The street procession was magnificent, with scores of business firms and indi- viduals vying for the awards for the best decorated floats and cars. Wilmette Printing Studio captured first prize for the best decorated car, and it certainly was a beauty. Vic Killian, Winnetka' plumbing contractor, secured first award for the most effective- ly festooned truck. The parade prize winners, as judged from the reviewing stand at Winnetka TO OPEN SEPT. 1 Magnificent Residence Hotel Ready for Guests Saturday, September 1, will witness the opening of the magnificent Or- rington hotel, just completed at Church street and Orrington avenue, Evanston. On that day The Orrington will open its doors informally to more than 100 ramilies who have arranged to make that modern residential hotel their permanent place of abode. The formal opening will follow three weeks later on Saturday, September 22. The Orrington, the second of the splen- didly appointed Victor Carlson apart- ment hostelries in Evanston, is considered by experts fo be the very last word in at the Playfield course with two of Winnetka's best amateurs, Wood and Fossum." The feature of the match, which was arranged by the officials of the Playfield association, was the re- markable driving of the visitors, who got between 275 and 300 yards on al- most every drive. Herron and Gard- ner would have been 3 up on the local players if they had played that way. Both expressed admiration for the manner in which the course was con- ditioned and evinced pleasure at the sportsmanlike gallery. Finish All Square The match was played with Gard- ner and Fossum pitted against Her- ron and Wood in a best ball match and finished all square. Herron drove over the third green and Gard- ner was just short of the green on the 305 yard 14th. The course was wet so that there was little or no roll to the ball and the long drives were all : . ; : by Paul A.

Want New Trier Zoned In connection with the discussion on zoning, members of the circle expressed the opinion that prompt action should be taken to provide a feasible zoning plan for New Trier township. Paul A. Hoffman, who represented the Wilmette village board, stated that it was im- perative that territories contiguous to the incorporated portions of the town- ship should be regulated so that the vil- lages might be protected against the in- flux of undesirable features on the "no man's land" sections.

Several times every concession on the grounds was sold out and Commercial association members were frantically rushing in new supplies of "eats" for the ever-hungry populace. In this connec- tion it is mete to state that every man working on the concessions was a mem- ber of the New Trier Commercial as- sociation or the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce, which co-operated in mak- ing the event a. success.

Northrop, of Win- netka, was driving his Ford sedan along South avenue, Glencoe, Wednesday eve- ning of this week. In crossing the Chi- cago and Northwestern railroad tracks the engine coughed and died. A fast train was approaching. Magistrate Nor- throp put 'er in neutral and, with the assistance of two obliging pedestrians managed to push the car off the tracks. The magistrate stopped to express his avenue and Pine street; Hill and Church roads. the tops of the trees on his drive and landed on the green, a distance of 270 yards. On the 16th his iron shot out of the long grass was remarkable. Fossum and Wood played good golf, Wood being especially steady. Fossum's putting cost him several strokes but his 2 on the 4th hole was a bright feature. Wood's drives were long and straight and his twos on the 7th and 12th showed how well he was putting. The Playfield association was highly commended upon the manner in which the match was conducted. Sunday marked the first appear- ance of players of national cham- pionship calibre on the local munic- ipal links.
