WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1923 WINNETKANS AT PLAY CONGRESS Leaders Attend Great Re- creation Meeting Winnetka is represented by Harry P. Clarke, Playground director; Mrs. 'B. F. Langworthy, of the National Larent-Teacher association; and Mrs. Eloise W. Wortley, assistant to the director of Community House, at the tenth annual Recreation Congress in session this week at Springfield, Ill. In a special message to the Winnet- ka Talk, Mrs. Wortley states that the meeting "is not only a huge success in point of attendance, but also in the expressed enthusiasm of all the deleg- ates present. Nearly a thousand civic leaders from all parts of the country interested in youth and the upbuild- ing of the nation are gathered here to discuss problems of recreational and community activities. A strong plea for the development of community drama and community music is being made, she says, not only as a medium of self-expression but as a means through which Amer- dca will finally express its finest ideals. The conference which is be- ing held under the auspices of the Playground and Recreation Associa- 'tiontion of America, started Monday, October 8, and concludes Friday, Oc- tober 12. The session is being at- tended by a number of very prom- inent persons including such men as Lorado Taft, Austin FE. Griffiths, Judge of Superior Court, State of Washington, and many others. All three of the representatives from Winnetka are taking an active 'part in the program of the week and their idea in regard to the develop- ment of the playground activities are being heartily endorsed by all those present. Nominate Thomas Lynch to Lead Legionnaires Thomas Lynch, well known Win- netka Tree surgeon, Tuesday evening was nominated commander of the Winnetka Post of the American legion at a regular meeting of the post at headquarters in the Woman's club.
