WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1923 3 BELIEF IN SIGNS MOST IMPORTANT Automobile Clubs Issue Stir- ring Booklet The public is gradually being edu- cated to the point where Safety signs bear real significance. Time was when the "Stop, Look, Listen" signs at the railroad crossings were regarded as a fixed part of the landscape, in the same category with trees, houses, barns and fences. But, today, there are certain agencies at work advising the public, motoring and pedestrian, of the fact that safety signs have a certain quite important significance. The Automobile Clubs of America, in conjunction with such companies as the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee Electric railway Safety bureau, are do- ing a splendid work in the Safety First campaigning. In a pamphlet issued recently by these agencies, and now distributed gen- erously in the business sections of this village, are illustrated and described various safety signs, under the general introductory heading: "Some Safety Signs that will Save Suffering and Sorrow." The pamphlet concludes with the ac- companying pertinent facts and advice: "Mr. automobile driver--do you know-- "That there were last year 12 million automobiles and trucks registered in the United States? "That 1370 automobile accidents occur every day in the United States? "That automobiles kill 38 people every day and that of every 4 people killed, one is the occupant of the car and 3 are not? "That you can cross every railroad track in perfect safety at any time if you will obey these warning signals and stop your car--look both ways up and down the track--listen for the warning bell or whistle--and don't take chances? "That your life and the lives of others are dependent on your thought, care, and attention, while you are driving the car, so be careful at all times, be alert and thoroughly awake every minute and pay strict heed and attention to all warning signs." Miss Shelton, who has been spending the summer with Mr. and Mrs. Todd | M. Pettigrew, has returned to her home in Muskogee, Okla. Mr. and Mrs. Petti-! grew are occupying the FM.

Working Girls Find Real Home for Gatherings The club house of St. Augustine's Episcopal church, that spacious residence structure immediately north of the edifice on Wilmette avenue, has uses other than those attendant strictly upon church activities. ' It becomes known that a group of girls of Scandinavian parentage who find employment in Wilmette homes have found the club a most agreeable place for weekly gatherings. Any Thursday afternoon or evening will find a large group of these girls em- ploying the homelike environs of the club house for sewing bees, delightful teas and dainty 'suppers. On Sunday afternoons, also, these daughters of the Norse countries, who boast none too many friends in this strange land, find the club house a wel- come place for their little gatherings. "No, that group of young women is in no way affiliated with our parish," Dr. Carleton, rector of St. Augustine's church explains. "They came to me some {time ago with the explanation that they could find no common meeting place in the village other than the railway sta- tions which obviously offered not the most pleasant atmosphere for social gatherings. I immediately proffered them the facilities of the club house and I know they are genuinely happy at finding a home for their little group. "In this connection I might explain," Dr. Carleton continued, "that St. Au- gustine's club house is open to the people outside the parish. Wilmette has no community house, and St. Augus- tine's people are glad to provide this accommodation, though it will be readily understood that there are facilities for only a limited number of people. The work of the parish goes beyond its im- mediate families and we like to regard the club house as a sort of community center."

Accepted candidates may complete their education at government ex- pense, and on receiving their com- mission, may be stationed afloat or ashore. : The cadet engineers are trained to become engineer officers, and the age| limits for appointment are 18 to 22 years. Cadet engineers are trained and educated at the Coast Guard Academy at New London, Conn., and each summer are taken on an ex- tended practice cruise.

Upon graduation from the three year course, the cadet is commission- ed an ensign, who ranks with officers in the army, navy, and marine corps.
