We occupy a most unique position, with members of twenty-six religious de- nominations in our group. We are or- ganized to sg¢rve a very large propor- tion of the communty. We are saved the differences, the duplications, and the multiplied expenses of competitive denominationalism. "The sane, the sensible, the business- like thing is to find out how much money is available for an adequate, well-considered building program. That is what a business organization would do; it is the thing for the church to do. Then, and not until then, can the church intelligently decide what it wants to do." Report of the results of the church canvass will be made to the church shortly after its completion, and it is expected that the church will consider the matter of plans at that time. Give Travelogue on Europe for Local School Children The children of each of the Win- netka schools were entertained last Monday by Miss Eleanor Cook and Miss Eugenia Folliard in a program which took the form of a travelogue on eastern Europe. The children were shown the modes and customs of the people in the different countries in this region by means of a series of folk songs and dances. The program started with Czecko- slovakia and continued with Jugo- slavia and Poland. Miss Cook and Miss Folliard dressed in native peas- ant costumes and pictured vividly in their songs, dances and pantomimes the true life of the people of eastern Europe. A like demonstration of the dress, dances, and songs of the people of Russia, Roumania and Hungary was given. In these Miss Cook and Miss Folliard characterized a boy and a girl, presenting the light dances char- acteristic of the peasants of these countries. Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson, parents of Mrs. Robert Price and Mrs. Peter Johansen, both of Winnetka, who have been visiting their daughters, left Thursday for Florida to spend the greater part of the winter in St. Petersburg. ED .--S, Miss Eleanor Hoagland, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Royal Hoagland, 416 Willow road, secretary of the business and professional women's department of the Y. W. C. A. in Indianapolis, will be home for Christmas week. She will arrive Saturday, December 24. Gerhard's Toy Shop WINNETKA
