WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1923 WINNETKA'S NEW MASONIC TEMPLE Hundreds of north shore residents came to the village last Saturday evening to witness the dedication of Winnetka's new $150,000 Masonic tem- ple. They came to see and hear and dance and remained until a very late hour, to marvel at the beauty of this structure made possible through the ef- fort of a small group of Winnetka men, who, less than two years ago, banded together to formulate a Winnetka Lodge. Among the hundreds who danced in the great ball room, "waited out" to leisurely inspect the magnificent interior of the building, and return again to the dance, perhaps only a very few were It wasn't long before matters were well in hand and public constitution ser- vices observed in a blaze of glory at the Skokie school. Immediately the lodge received its charter (November 8, 1922), plans were formulated for the construction of a temple. Property was purchased on east Elm street at the eastern fringe of the business district of the village, and mat- ters moved with such amazing rapidity that ground-breaking ceremonies were held on December 12, 1922. Early in the year there was the cor- ner-stone laying and last Saturday night the formal dedication conducted by members of the Grand Lodge. Anyone connected with any lodge, aware of the remarkable story behind fraternity, sorority, church, school or Thoto by Lehle Spacious, Magnificent Lodge Room that evening's festivity. It is a brief story, because two years 1 a peaceful community like Winnetka is not productive of much that is start- ling or strange, but it is none the less a story that illustrates more forcibly than anything we know of, that spirit of progressiveness which seems to be peculiar to the Middle West, the spirit that made Chicago and converted broad expanses of prairie and woodland into modern communities and well ordered countrysides. Just about two years ago, several Winnetka members of the Masonic or- der. whose local lodge affiliations were widely scattered through Chicago and vicinity, determined to organize a Win- netka lodge. civic organization; anyone ever con- fronted with the task of organizing group activity and promoting a building project, will appreciate what a marvel- ous accomplishment the new Winnetka Masonic Temple represents. It was the consensus of opinion among the visitors on Saturday and Sunday (the latter day reserved for inspection) that the new temple rivals in complete- ness of appointment and beauty of de- sign any similar structure in this part of the country. It was estimated that more than 3,000 people inspected the temple on Saturday and Sunday. Lodges as far north as Milwaukee and from all over Chicago and the north shore were represented at the dedication.

COUNTRY DAY HOCKEY GIRLS TRUE CHAMPS The North Shore Country Day school's girls' hockey season has been more successful this year than ever be- fore in the history of the school. The team started the season by defeating Francis Parker school 6-2. The game was played on a very slippery field, which made it most difficult for both teams: but they both played very well The next game was played at Lincoln Park with the Chicago latin school. The contest was so close that until the last minutes of play the spectators could not tell which team would come out cn top. It seemed to be an even match, but finally North Shore broke the tie of 4-4, making two successive goals and leaving the final score 6-4. The next game of the season was on North Shore's field against the Lake Shore team. The score was 5-0 in North Shore's favor. The last and most exciting game was played against Roycemore on North Shore's field, No- vember 17. North Shore scored first, aiter a hard fight; in the third quarter Rcycemore brought it to a tie. The game grew more tense as the play cen- tered around the goals. Then, in the last couple of minutes North Shore scored and the spectators went wild. So the final score was 2-1. The crowd was the largest that has ever attended a hockey' game at North Shore and th- cheering on both sides was thrilling. There is only one more game in the series, scheduled with Winnetka Wom- en's team for Thursday, November 22. In practice games cach team has beaten the other once, so this match promises to be exciting. "Back Home and Broke" Community House Film Human, wholesome, humorous and sparkling is Thomas Meighan's new paramount picture, "Back Home and Broke," which is to be the feature of the Community House next Friday. George Ade, the humorist, whose fables have made him one of the best known and most popular of American writers, is the author. The story tells of a young man who leaves his home town to win success in the great west. He and his mother are in distress, his father, supposedly wealthy, having died, and left him penniless. Snubbed by former ac- quaintances, he goes away, and upon returning a few years later an ap- parent failure, ridicule is heaped upon him. Then a novel Ade twist to the eternal story is introduced, with in- teresting. results. Lila Lee who is recognized as onc of the best leading women, plays op- posite Mr. Meighan. The cast gen- erally is excellent, and includes Fred- erick Burton, Cyril Ring, Charles Abbe, Florence Dixon, Gertrude Quin- lan, Richard Carlyle, Maude Turner Gordon and other capable players. There will be two shows. One at 7:13, and another at 8:43 o'clock. PRINTING SERVICE Last Wednesday noon one of our customers brought in a printing job which he wanted printed, addressed and in the post office all on that very same day. It was absolutely neces- sary that it be in the post office that same af- ternoon. Although it was very short notice, we agreed to get his job out on time. By five-thirty this work was completed and in the mail. We don't welcome this kind of a job. It is un- fair to us and, under or- dinary circumstances, unfair of the customer to require it. But, in cases of emergency, we are able to render just thissortof service when the occasion arises. LLOYD HOLLISTER INC. Printers and Publishers
