Have you a boy or girl at the high school? Are interested in the affairs of the school, in what your boys and girls are doing? Somehow, we simply cannot con- ceive of any single person in New Trier township not being interested in our' township high school. But-the contributions for that New Trier High School Band Fund are coming in pretty slow." Won't you listen 'to 'this appeal? The members of the New Trier High school band have appealed to Lloyd | Hollister Inc, publishers of Wilmette Life, Winnetka Talk and Glencoe News, to assist them in rais- ing funds to equip the band with caps and capes. The band has no funds with which to purchase these uni- forms. Ths New Trier High School Board of Education cannot subscribe funds for that purpose. If the boys are to be made happv with those uniforms, it's decidedly up to citizens of New Trier to contribute the neces- sary amount--$2,000. Looks like a lot of money, doesn't it?> But, really it would be a very small consideration ii, say, about one- tenth of New Trier's population con- tributed a few dollars apiece: A score or more of citizens have responded without hesitation. There are literally hundred of others who would do the same, if one could just keep on reminding them to--Sub- scribe today. That's just it--we're procrastinating. We confidently intend to help, but the matter just slips our minds, doesn't it? Well, let's get it over with by mailing that check today. The boys would like so much to have those uniforms before Christ- mas. They want to look the part of the best high school band in the Mid- dle West, and they can't without uni- forms. They want to enter that Na- tional High School Band competition next spring, and they can't unless we, the alumni of New Trier, the fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and friends of the High school students, rally to their support. Let's get busy with those checks TODAY. Mail them to New Trier High School Band Fund, c/o Lloyd Hollister, Inc., 1222 Central avenue, Wilmette, I11. New Trier you Kingery Gets Place on Township Zoning Board Robert Kingery, chairman of the Winnetka Zoning Board of Appeals, Tuesday was appointed a member of the New Trier Township Zoning com- mittee 'as Winnetka's representative. The appointment was confirmed at the regular council session Tuesday eve- ning. The Township Zoning body was es- tablished recently by agreement of of- ficials of the various villages in New Trier, and has a representative from cach community. Its purpose will be to consider the regulation of the develop- ment of areas outside the corporate limits of the villages. THIEVES IN DAYLIGHT RAID ON LOCAL HOME Forcing Amelia Sechser, a maid at the home of Leroy Baumgartl, 1180 Oakley avenue, Hubbard Woods, to reveal the hiding place of valuable jewelry, and then tying her to a ban- ister post, daylight burglars made their get-a-way with valuable loot Tuesday morning, November 6, when Mrs. Baumgartl was in Chicago. Miss Sechser was in the house alone when she heard a noise on the first floor, which sounded like unfamiliar footsteps. When she went downstairs to investigate, she was roughly seized by the arm and forced back upstairs where she was compelled to show where the jewelry was hidden. After the burglars had succeeded in their quest they tied Miss Sechser to the banister on .the lower floor where she remained until she was released by Gunner Hansen, iceman for the North Shore Ice company, who heard her screams from the street. It is be- lieved that the robbery was the work of the same gang that has been oper- ating all along the North Shore. Winnetka police are unable to detect any evidence that might lead to the apprehension of the criminals. SECOND CONCERT TUES., NOV. 13 Mannheimer is Artist with Symphony Group The second symphony concert of the season to be held under the aus- pices of the New Trier Township Orchestra association will be given Tuesday evening, November 13, at New Trier High school auditorium. As previously announced, this is a change from the date originally scheduled as November 35. The artist of the evening will be Mr. Frank Mannheimer, an Amer- ican pianist, who is a striking ex- ample of the achievements possible for American-born and American- taught artists. He was born in Day- ton, Ohio, in 1896, and received his musical education largely in Chicago and New York. His appearances in recital and with orchestras have been very successful, and he is credited with "a personality of his own and mit it." Following is the program for the evening : Overture to "Stradella" ...... Flotow Symphony No. 2, in D Major..Haydn Adagio; Allegro. Andanta. Menuetto; Trio. Allegro Spiritoso.

Tschaikowsky Chauffeur Burned When Candle Ignites Fumes Oia Antry, colored, received painful injuries Sunday when the light from a candle ignited a pan of gasoline in the garage at the rear of the home of Fred Trudell, 624 Willow street. Antry, who had been keeping his car in this garage, was working around the machine under candle light when the fumes from the gasoline came in contact with the flame and suddenly started a fire in the car which burned him before he could make his escape. The Fire department was summoned immediately and worked for over an hour before the blaze had been ex- tinguished. The loss on the car alone is estimated at $200. SCIENTISTS, LOOK HERE!

COPS AND THIEF STAGE GUN FRAY Flivver Squad Routs Burg- lar from Home Three Winnetka police fought it out with a burglar at the home of Harold E. Stuart, 280 Sheridan road, early Saturday evening, the thief making his escape from the premises after his cries indicated he had received shot- gun wounds mm a close range encounter with Patrolman Iverson of the local Flivver squad. The bandit was discovered by police- man Iverson, Johannsen and Fjellman when the Flivver squad investigated the temporarily unoccupied Stuart home. Finding the house in complete dark- ness at about six o'clock, one of the men entered by the front door, which had been left open. He was immediate- ly engaged in a revolver duel with the burglar, who chased madly to the rear of the home, only to encounter a police- man at the rear door where more shots were exchanged. Running back into the house the bandit plunged through an open window and out into the garden where he and Iverson staged a third duel, Iverson apparently nipping the culprit who managed, however, to es- cape through some thick shrubbery. The burglars, for it is thought cer- tain that the fellow 'had a companion stationed near the house, had been operating in the upper rooms of the Stuart home. They ransacked the place completely, securing loot said to be valued at several thousand dollars. Young People's Club Presents Play Tonight Tonight, at" 8:15 o'clock, a benefit play 'and dance will be given at Com- munity House by the Young People's club of the Winnetka Congregational church to complete the raising of funds to buy an athletic field and build a dormitory to take care of 100 women in China.

The Young People's club has raised half this amount. They have planned a delightful evening of whole- some good fun and are inviting all of Winnetka to join with them and help raise the other $500 for that camp in far away China.
