20 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1924 TERMS 'HOME "FINEST ASSET Congressman Rathbone Tells Radio Audience Home Own- ership is Biggest Need NATION'S FOUNDATION Institution That Makes Good Citizens Editor's note: Especially timely, in the curreit Better Homes Week, is the accompanying excerpt from an address recently broadcast from a Chicago ra- dio" station by the Hon. Henry R. Rath- bone, Congressman-at-large from Illi- nots and a resident of Kenilworth. The address is on the subject of "Home." ' By HENRY R. RATHBONE Fhe fathers who builded this Republic laid four corner-stones to support the structure. The court-house, the center of law and order; the school, the place of knowledge and . intellectual light; the church, the abode of religion and moral influence, and the home, around which cluster all the gentle ties which bind man to his family and country. Promoter of Health The home is the promoter of health, especially if it' has even the smallest plot of ground besidé it. In the cul- tivation of a garden, we are brought in wholesome contact with nature; we are in the fresh air and sunlight, where alone health is to be found. The home is the only place, in which children should be reared. There they will grow up strong and vigorous, in- stead of becoming pale and sickly in the 'pent-up tenements of the congested centers of great cities. The home promotes morality. When it is made attractive, when it is all that it should be, the boys and girls, at the critical time of life when they are fast becoming men and women, will be surrounded by the best of influences and' will be kept free from evil haBits and surroundings. or Creator of Happiness ry true home is the creator of a «and unalloyed happiness. There is detter test of a man or woman than leasure or pride that he or she takes is or her home. No matter how poor and humble it may be it can be made attractive. It does not cost much to decorate a home, with reproductions of world famous pictures, with occasion- al flowers, with books, magazines and newspapers. Even pets help to mkae a home. A good dog, a cat or bird, fit in and become as it were a part of the household. Finally, the home is the safe-guard of the nation against social upheaval. It makes for the best of citizenship and patriotism. Make Good Citizens The moment a man has a home, that moment his soul is tuned to keep time to the heart-beat of the nation. The more of a nation's wealth is in- vested in homes the easier is the prob- lem of taxation. It is not real estate that evades its share of the taxes. The more improved property there is, the more evenly that burden will be distrib- uted among the owners of real estate, as well as among the masses oi the peo- ple. The creation of homes gives employ- ment to labor and healthy stimulus to one of America's businesses, the con- struction industry. Homes make patriots. He who has sat at his own fireside with wife and children will defend it. When he hears the word "country," pronounced, he thinks of his home. Dees all for Home It is for the home that man strives and toils. Tt is for home that he braves the storms and perils of life. It is to the home that he brings his honors and successes for his loved one to share with him. It is the shelter of home that he seeks in times of trouble and distress. The home educates; it teaches civic responsibility and tends to stabilize men and women in all their public actions so they will be inclined to hold their pub- lic officials more directly responsible for their acts. The desire to establish a home brings order out of disorder, beauty out of ugliness, contentment out of unrest and creates a spirit of true Americanism in the lives of our people. Home a Temple Everything should be done to encour- age home ownership. No better advice could be given than the slogan "Own Your Own Home." To own a home elevates a man; it gives a certain in- dependence and force of character that is obtained in no other way. A true home is a temple, a refuge, a training school, a nursery of patri- otism, a bulwark of morality and all that 1s decent and clean in life, the abode of health and inspiration to great and noble deeds, the prosperity and great- ness of the nation. ALI, HONOR TO THE : AMER- ICAN HOME! ODD FELLOWS ARRANGE SILVER JUBILEE MEET On Thursday evening, October 30, the A. T. Sherman lodge No. 892, of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows will celebrate the 25th anniversary of its institution. There will be an open meeting, with- the Wilmette Rebekah lodge No. 610, participating. All Odd Fellows, Ancient Odd Fellows, Re- bekahs, their friends, and any who may be interested, are invited to at- tend. An unusually fine program is being arranged, and prominent state officers are expected to be present. "To our friends, we wish to illus- trate the principles of Odd Fellowship on a limited scale, prescribed by human abilities and the pecuniary re- sources we have, each of which is a mutual improvement and mutual aid association. And further to extend our operations and increase our ad- vantages and usefulness together," writes a member of the local organ- ization, "There are many men of this vil- lage," he continues, "whose fathers were Odd Fellows years ago, and who would be proud to have their sons join the order and receive the benefits derived therefrom. We owe it to them, who helped to make this vast Brotherhood what it is today, to at least consider their efforts and join in the continuation of their ideas of bonded fraternity." Clore-Budinger-Smith Subdivision Popular The new subdivision of high class homesites overlooking the North Shore Golf course opened recently by Clore, Budinger and Smith, Wilmette real estate operators, has proved a popular venture, according to reports fro mthose who have investigated the location. A number of north shore people have already availed themselves of this opportunity to secure new home- sites, it is announced. Careful re- stricting of the property, both as to the character of persons solicited and type of improvements permitted, gives promise of making this one of the most attractive residence areas on the north shore, the subdividers assert. Mrs. Sophronia Wilkie Dies at Winnetka Home Mrs. Sophronia H. Wilkie died on Wednesday morning, October 15, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Philemon B. Kohlsaat, 341 Woodland avenue, Winnetka. Mrs. Wilkie was 88 vears of age. She was the mother of Harry A. Wilkie, who passed away at his home in Tryon, N. C, on Sep- tember 21.

Junior Kindergarten Work Launched on North Shore Mrs. William E. de Mille of Evans- ton, a graduate of the National Kind- ergarten and Elementary college, is cooperating with Mrs. Edwin W. Ellis of Indian Hill road, Winnetka, in con- ducting a Junior Kindergarten class in the Ellis home for the two children of the family and their friends. The Ellis residence overlooking the Indian Hill golf course, has been re- modeled to meet the needs of this class which was started early this month. A room in the garage has been fitted up as a work shop and equipped to meet the simp'e needs of the youngsters and the floor of the home converted into a large playroom. Whenever weather permits, there will be games and excursions out-of- doors, the location offering wonderful opportunities for such activties, it is explained. Mrs. de Mille is studies at- the college this year, specializing in junior kindergarten work. The term "Junior Kinder- garten" is new among educators. It suggests group activities for children younger than the usual kindergarten age. Heretofore this earlier period has been referred to as the pre-kinder- garten age.

The oil burning in- stallation for the Singer Building in New York cost $50,000. - The cost of the entire installation was paid for in 22 months through the savings ef- fected by burning oil instead of coal. The Ritz-Carlton Hotel installation cost $25,000, and its cost was saved in 12 months. In all installations for large build- ings the cost of burying the oil storage tanks underground is the largest fac- tor, the burning equipment being a comparatively small item. New Trier P. T. A.
