= WIN TKA WEEKLY A Clean Newspaper for a Clean Community r- TREE, FOR 5 ¥OL,. XII, NO. 31 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1923 TWENTY-FOUR PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS BIG DRIVE FOR JAPAN RELI Christ Church to Assist in Episcopal Fund Campaign : to Raise $500,000 HELP OWN WORKERS Earthquake Has Crippled Work of the Church Funds for permanent relief of Epis- copal workers in the earthquake devas- tated regions of Japan are to be solicited in"the parish of Christ church tomorrow, in response to an urgent appeal for a $500,000 emergency fund sounded this week by the National Council of the Episcopal church, At the Sunday morning services Rev. E. Ashley Gerhard will devote his ad- dress to an explanation of the purpose of this fund. This week the vestry of the church addressed a letter to every family in the parish requesting co- operation in the great relief campaign. The offerings at all services tomorrow will be directed into the fund, it was announced. For Aid Within Church No previous solicitation of funds for Japanese relief has been made in Christ church parish because of the fact that most 'of the parishioners contributed through other organizations. The pres- ent call for contributions is in the in- terest of relief work within the church, it is explained. "Dr. John W. Wood, executive secre- tary of the Department of Missions in the Episcopal denomination outlines the purposes of this great relief fund cam- paign in a recent issue of an' Episcopal ublication. His article may be sum- J in classification as follows: 4] Shelter. Many American fami- shelter, both temporary and permanent. i 2. Food. The sources of "income, not drawn from funds, but from the earnings of institutions, have been en- tirely cut off. The price of food is fast becoming prohibitivef "The Red Cross discontinues its aid as soon as the regular channels of supply are opened. The Red Cross is an Emergency Relief agency, pure and simple, and cannot provide for permanent relief. It has won lofty praise for its swift and ex- pert work in the present emergency. America is proud of the Red Cross work in the Earthquake regions, but the work obviously can be for the emergency only. 3. Sick Relief. The shock of the experience, combined with the almost complete collapse of sanitary systems, is followed soon after by sickness and contagion. Funds must be provided to take care of medical bills. Many of the workers who have suffered more severely than their neighbors, must be brought home, which faet suggests transporta- tion costs, and expense entailed while lying helpless in American hospitals. Face Terrible Winter 4. Personal and Household Belong- ings. These workers have lost most of their wearing apparel and household ef- fects. They need warm clothing and supplies to endure the piercingly cold winters of Tokyo. 5. Keeping Organization Intact. A splendid organization of Japanese work- ers including clergy, nurses, doctors, teachers and others has been developed through many years of the Episcopal ministry to 'the Japanese people. "Tt is imperative that the morale of this ef- ficient organization be maintained by speedy assurance that the church is go- ing to stand by these workers in these months of their bitter need. The church cannot say, "We have nothing for you. Go seek a living elsewhere." Temporary buildings are an insistent need. Reconstruction of St. Luke's hos- pital will necessitate the expenditure of $100,000. Funds will be needed for build- ings to carry on the excellent educa- tional work of the church as repre- sented in St. Paul's university and St. Paul's Middle school, and St. Margaret's Girls school. At least seven churches were de- stroyed in the earthquake. The congre- gations will be hopelessly scattered and lost if immediate aid is not forthcom- ing. There is need for temporary rec- tories and orphanages, INJURED EYE AT PLAY Robert Ickes, small son of Mr. and Mrs. Harole I. Ickes of Hubbard Woods, seriously injured an eye this week when was pierced by a knife with the boy was playing mumble peg. 'and church workers: are homeless. Money must be secured to afford them | promptly at 9 o'clock ING CLUB ENJOYS CROSS-COUNTRY TODAY The schedule of the Riding club of Winnetka for October and November includes eight interesting events, the first of which will be a cross country ride from 7 until 8:30 o'clock next Saturday morning, followed by break- fast at the Indian Hill club.

ALL ABOARD FOR HALLOWEEN FETE Community House in Annual Invitation to Party The governors of Community House are issuing through the Winnetka Talk, their annual invitation to the 'boys and girls of Winnetka to cele- brate Hallowe'en festivities at Com- munity House on the evening of Wed- nesday October. 31.

There will be Hallowe'en movies in the Neighborhood room, directed by Burton-. Atwood, Jr. Down stairs, Marcus D. Richards and J. M. Dick- inson, Jr. are constructing a new spook cave with some of the most spooky improvements you ever heard of. In the second story a lot of gyps- ies will be found ready to tell your fortune.

Bowles King is chairman of the General Hallowe'en Party committee. It is reqested that children under six years of age be left at home till an- other year as it has been found im- possible to open up the new addition in time for this party and there is likely to.be a pretty large crowd for the small youngsters. Legion Holds Tag Day For the Salvation Army Winnetka Post of the American Legion 5 sponsoring a village-wide campaign next week in the interest of the Salva- tion Army annual fund drive. One day of the week will be devoted to tagging in the business district and at railway stations when women of the village wiil assist the legionaires in swelling the fund. While in other communities the Salva- tion Army drives are usually under di- rection of an Advisory committee of citi- zens, in Winnetka, the Legion, mindful of the self-sacrificing service rendered by the Salvation Army during the war, has always felt it a pleasant duty to spon- sor the campaign. Contributions will be sought from all residents of the village and it is the hope of the legionnaires that Winnetka will not fail to make a great showing for the Salvation Army. Dr. Harold Lynn, of Hubbard Woods, is chairman of the Salvation Army drive committee, Drug Stores to Close At 9 P. M. Every Night By common agreement effective Mon- day, October 15, all drug stores Jin Winnetka and Hubbard Woods will close every evening through the week and at 7 o'clock on Sundays, is was announced this week.

BROWN TELLS OF NEW WORK Describes Voyage to Japan and China and Activities in Mission Hospital LOCATED AT WUCHANG Discovers Mah-Jongg Is For Gamblers Only A delightful sea voyage to Japan, a typhoon in the China sea, stifling hot weather in Shanghai, a very nice hos- pital in Wuchang, all are described in Dr. Alice Barlow Brown's first letter to Winnetkans since her arrival to as- sume charge of the Women's depart- ment of the General hospital of the American Church Mission in the latter city. Dr. Brown is well known to Win- netkans for her splendid relief work in France and the Balkans during and following the World War. She is now in a new field in China and her work should be of interest to local residents, many of whom are contributors to the relief in the Near East. Dr. Brown's letter reads: "Women's Department f 0 The Church General Hospital American Church Mission Wuchang, China, Sept. 3, 1923. Dear-- "You will readily see by the stationery that I am at my journey's end in China. "This morning I began my rounds in the hospital, taking over all-of the medi- cal and obstetrical cases. Dr. James will retain all of the medical and eye cases until she 'leaves. Delightful Voyage "The trip across the Pacific was a delightful one, though cool for a week, as the course taken until the Southern portion of the Behring Sea was reached. Then we dipped down to the coast of Japan, when it became very warm again. We spent a few days in Yokohama where we took a small trip to visit the Colossal Buddha Dai- butsu, and rode in a- jinricksha. "From Yokohama our next port in Japan was Kobe, where we arrived about noon of a very hot day. We all took jinrickshas to 'the town to do a little shopping . Kobe is the place to buy kimonos--of all shades and prices. "Our next port was Nagasaki, where we spent more time, as at this port the ship was coaled. Watches Coalers "The Japanese Government forbids taking pictures of their ports, and es- pecially of Nagasaki. It certainly has natural formidable advantages for a port. Tt is like going into a bell. It was an interesting sight to watch the coal laden barges, twelve on either side, approach our ship, before she cast anchor in the harbor: quickly get in place and unload their coal, passing it n small baskets like a bucket brigade. Here many women are employed. It took more than 500 coolies to unload the coal in about seven hours, "We visited the old Temple back of the town, from the garden of which is a splendid view of the harbor. I wanted to have tea here, but our guide, (Continued on Page 5) DON'T LET A LITTLE Foolish pride keep you from buying -a used car. You'll save lots of money.

Mr. Chickering was born in Cin- cinnati, Ohio, January 20, 1874. His father died when he was seven years old and his mother then went back to her New England home. When he was fourteen, they moved to Ann Arbor, Mich., where Mr. Chickering graduated from the high school and later from the Engineering depart- ment of the University of Michigan in the class of 1895. After a few years with Fairbanks, Morse and company in Beloit, Wisconsin, he came to Chicago and became a partner in Chfickeringt Brothers, manufacturers of Pianos. Mr. Chickering and his brother are great nephews of: Jonas Chickering, of Boston, the first man- ufacturer of an American piano. Mr. Chickering married Dorothea Curts of Madison, Wisconsin, in 1903. There are four children, Charles C., Sarah B., Dorothea and Wallace W. Jr. Mr. Chickering was devoted to his home and family and his generous kindness and friendship for those who came in contact with him was felt by all who knew him. He gave his sup- port and his personal effort to many public causes. His death is a severe loss to his family, his friends and the community. Services 'were held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock in Graceland chapel. PROWLERS GET JEWELRY HAUL Hollis and Hermann Homes Ransacked Prowlers reaped a considerable har- vest carly last Friday evening in the vi- cinity of Lincoln and Humboldt avenues, when they entered and ransacked the Chalmers M. Hollis and Alfred D. Her- mann residences, obtaining valuable hauls of silverware and jewelry. The Hermanns who "reside at 756 Lincoln avenue, journeyed to Evanston for dinner early Friday evening, leaving the home at about 6 o'clock. Returning after 8:30 o'clock they were greeted by a pretty thoroughly ransacked house. Sil- verware and jewelry comprised the burg- lars' bounty. Not content with one job, the prowlers next cast eager optics upon the Hollis domain. Of course they had ways of knowing that the Hollis' were out of town--burglars always acquaint them- selves with those small details--so they proceed to jimmy a kitchen window and make merry in a wholesale search of the interior. Here they found much nice silverware and valuable jewelry. Again, the Talk implores Winnetka householders to co-operate with the police in preventing prowlings and burglaries. This is the procedure :-- . 1. If you are to be away from the village throughout the day or for a long- er period of time, notify the police of that fact so that they can maintain a special watch over your premises. 2. If you are away during the eve- ning hours, leave some lights burning in the home. A lighted house is unwel- come to the prospective prowler. He dotes on pitch black interiors, Help the police defend your home agaist burglars! Chamber of Commerce Has Social Evening Wednesday The Winnetka Chamber -+ Commerce band will play, there will be special en- tertainment, a good speaker and refresh- ments at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce at Community House, Wednesday evening, October 17. The business men decided, some time ago, to devote their second meeting of the month to social activities and enter- tainment, consequently the above pro- gram. In accordance with the season's pro- gram, the first meeting night of each month will be devoted exclusively to business. E. C. Weissenberg is chairman of the Entertainment committee. A complete attendance is expected for the first so- cial evening. A speaker of exceptional quality will be secured, it is promised.

As plans develop, it becomes evi- dent that this is going to be a great opportunity for those who have sur- plus articles of nearly any variety, either personal or household, to dis- pose of them, and still greater oppor- tunity for their neighbors to find use- ful bargains; while the main cause, that of equipping the new Community House building will be tremendously helped along by this co-operation. After all, the use of Community House is village-wide, and the more completely the new kitchen can be equipped, and the halls and clubrooms furnished, the more use the entire community shall derive from this vil- lage center. ; "Look over your odds and ends now, and take them to Community House as soon as you can. Call Winnetka 539, Community House, if you cannot deliver them yourself," is the workers' challenge.
