A Clean Newspaper for a Clean Community 3 ALK VOL. XII, NO. 33 WINNETKA, XMAS BAZAAR AT COMMUNITY SALE Circle Members Pledge Selves to Contribute by Making Gift Articles RESPONSE TO APPEAL Funds from Exchange to Equip Community House One of the most interesting depart- ments of the White Elephant sale at Community House, next month, accord- ing to Mrs. Ayres Boal, general chair- man, will be the Christmas bazaar, or sale of new articles. The circles, un- der the leadership of Mrs. R. S. Childs, have undertaken this important task as their contribution toward the success of the Exchange. Each mem- bers of the circle's organization is to make one new article, of either a fancy or a practical nature, to be sold for the benefit of the new building equip- ment fund. This will afford a splendid opportun- ity for other women to do their Christ- mas shopping early. In response to the requests published in recent issues of Winnetka Talk, and sent out by the committee to individu- als, many useful articles are being brought to Community House. The sorting committee, Mrs. Lowell Cope- land, chairman, calls for hats, and then more hats, also hat trimmings. Books are also in demand, especially novels, travel, or biography. School books can- not be used, and there is no call for magazines unless bound. Curtains and portieres, lamp shades, Christmas tree decorations, linens, table sets, can all be used, whether in style or not. Over- coats, shoes, heavy clothing for children and adults, underwear, stockings, shirts and waists are in demand. In answer to a' question, it may. be said that things so much worn as to be of little-or no value to someone else, should not be sent.. Articles that have been outgrown or out of style or that are still in good, usable condition, can be used to advantage. The committee requests that, so far as possible, goods be delivered or prepared for delivery in compact parcels or boxes, to assist in handling and to prevent soiling or damage. The hours of the sale will be from 1 to 10 P. M., on Wednesday, Novem- ber 14, and from 9 A. M. to 5 P. M,, on Thursday, November 15. The eve- ning will enable many people, who are in the city all day, or whose hours or engagements would otherwise prevent, to attend the White Elephant sale and make selections at their leisure. "Pass the word to your friends in Kenilworth, Glencoe and Wilmette that they may find real bargains at this Community Exchange. Watch for the posters!" is the challenge of the com- mittee, Villages to Discuss Bus Line Proposition Representatives of the various villages in New Trier Township are to meet at the Winnetka Village hall Tuesday eve- ning, October 30, to discuss the applica- tion of the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee railroad to the Illinois Com- merce Commission for permission to operate busses through the villages.

ISSUES WARNING FOR HALLOWE'EN Chief Says, "Keep Off Private Property" Hallowe'en will be here on Wednes- day, October 31. On the night of that day many Winnetka children will en- gage in their annual masquerade pro- sessions through the streets, and there will be the tendency to engage in gen- eral jollification. BUT---- Here's an important warning from Chief of Police Peterson that must be heeded by every parent in the village: "Innocent fun is always tolerated, but just at this time we have a most peculiar situation in our village, There have been numerous hiowings in the residence sections. At least four homes Pe tins, 'within the past two weeks, and, in order to put a stop to the business I have detailed armed police- men in various sections of the village whose sole duty it is to watch the homes and, if possible, apprehend the thieves. These patrolmen are watching the homes very closely. They have orders to take quick action. "It will, therefore, appear "quite ob- vious to parents, that every child in the village must be cautioned and warned to absolutely refrain from en- tering the premises of any home on Hallowe'en night. Tell the children to remain on the streets, if they must be out-of-doors on that night! Tell them to by no means play around any of the homes or to run through alleys or ioiter anywhere where they might arouse the suspicion of the police!' We don't want to hurt anybody, but there is danger with children running at large through- out the village on a night like Hallowe'en.

In a communication addressed to the membership of the league, the officers point out that "there is to be a very im- portant election November 6 and every league member is urged to vote." Election Calendar "The election calendar," the announce- ment continues, "is as follows : "Twenty-three judges are to be elected. (a) 12 Superior court judges whose terms have expired. (hb) 8 new Superior court judges. (¢) 1 Superior count vagancy. (d) 2 Circuit court vacancies "The office of coroner. "Public proposition whether we shall authorize the Forest Preserve district of Cook county to establish and main- ain a Zoological park. "Possibly other bond issues. Juvenile Court Problem "One of the special interests to women n this election is the election of Cir- cuit court Judges to fill vacancies," the 'eport continues. "There is the pos- sipility that one of the judges elected to he Circuit court vacancy may be as- signed to the Juvenile court. * There is a special reason for the election of a woman . Judge to the Juvenile court, be- fore which the' cases oi bttle girls are brought. The Juvérile court was the conception of "organized women. - Illi- nois was the first state to have a Juve- nile court. It was created by an Act of the General Assembly in 1899. The interest of public-minded women in this court has increased with its years of usefulness. Every effort should be put forth to increase the women vote. In 1920 only approximately. 44% of the cligible women in Cook county voted, and only approximately 46% of the eligible women in Illinois voted for President of the United States. We be- long to the first generation of voting women and should strive to secure a vote of at least 75% of those elegible.

POLICE PLAN TO GIVE THIEVES HOT GREETING Chief Peterson's men are working overtime these days in an endeavor to thwart the activities of prowlers. There has been just enough thievery and house-breaking in the past few weeks to cause the minions of the law consider- able annoyance, but the chief has a regular campaign of action outlined and his men posted in the residence district in a manner that should have the effect of stopping the prowlings entirely or snaring any of the thieves who may chance a display of boldness. This week's prowlings transpired at the Francis S. Banta home on Asbury avenue, and the George I,. Brannen home at 479 Fir street, according to the police records. The depredations occurred Monday and Tuesday nights while the families were away from their homes. Chief Peterson repeats the warning that householders leave lights burn- ing in the homes when leaving for the evening, and to notify the police when homes are to be unoccupied for any con- siderable length of time.

The New Trier High school band-- 120 pieces strong-- needs uniforms. Principal Clerk discussed the matter this week with a representative of Lloyd Hollister, Inc., publishers of Wilmette Life, Winnetka Talk and Glencoe News. He said the band was ship-shape in every respect except in the matter of uniforms. It plays wonderfully well, it has an able bandmaster in Mr. Schu- macher and--well it lacks nothing except uniforms-- and they cost money--and the school has not the necessary funds. Fund Is Started "We'll put it up to our readers," was the prompt response of the Hollister, Inc., representative, "How much do you need 2" : 2 "We have estimated that it will cost approximately $2,000 to fit out the sew- enty-five pieces comprising our first band," Mr. Clerk replied. "The uni- forms, comprising caps and capes cost $27.50 each. Figure it our for yourself. We plan to get a diversity of sizes so that the uniforms may be used for seu- eral seasons." i Hollister's representative left the high school 'and dropped in at the Wilmette Village hall to get the regular "run" of: municipal news.

Roos, a student at the high school : "When the New Trier high school band came into existence four years ago," he says, 'no one suspected that the fall of 1923 would see 120 players in the organi- tion. From a few lonely boys and their .Astruments, the band has developed into a school institution, which furnishes musie for the games and amusement and tion for its members. Plan Fund Concerts "Now that the band has reached its present large size it naturally desires ta be fully equipped. In the matter of in- struments nothing is lacking ; most of the music is supplied by the band library, and Mr. Schumacher is an unusually cap- able leader. The only need is uniforms. Those under consideration at present con- sist,of caps and capes, made in the school colors, . The band's treasury already ha some money with which to purchase this outfit, and the necessary remaining funds will be secured through concerts, the first of .which will be given in the near future. When attired in these new costumes, band 'will claim distinction in the matter of appearance as well as in its size and the quality of its music." = : Chief Houren Attends Fire Chief's Session Chief Houren of the Winnetka Fire department, is attending the Fire Chief's Annual convention at Rich- mond, Virginia, which started Sun- day, October 2I, and will continue until Sunday, October 28.
