EN aig US is tS January 14, 1928 WINNETKA STALK VOTERS' LEAGUE HOLDS DISCUSSION ON HEALTH Speakers Outline Social Hy- giene and Public Health Pro- gram at Luncheon Meeting The Social Hygiene and Public Health program of the Winnetka Teague of Women Voters, given at the luncheon meeting last Monday in Rudolph Matz hall, was pronounced the best discussion of these subjects since the League has featured this work on its programs. Charles B. Miner, superintendent of the "Committee of Fifteen" in Chicago, spoke on the legal phases of Social Hygiene work. His remarks were most encouraging to the women of the league. As an organization for the edu- cation of the women voter it is good to feel that the upward trend of public opinion has made conditions impossible for the red light district of not so many years ago. The league's aim, which is to create an intelligent politically ed- ucated woman vote, should help in lift- ing still higher the standard of that public opinion. His talk brought forth many questions, which added to the interest of the meeting. Dr. Orvis Outlines Program Dr. H. A. Orvis, health officer for Winnetka and Kenilworth, explained the health program which he is at- tempting to carry out in these villages. He expressed pleasure at the co-opera- tion of the community, which helps his work and which all Winnetkans hope to give. Mrs. Gross T. Williams, Winnetka League chairman of Social Hygiene, arranged the program and introduced the speakers with an explanation of the Social Hygiene program. At the Board of Directors' meeting held before the general meeting, a dis- cussion of the proposed Primary Bill, which will be submitted before the special session of the State Legislature, was led by Mrs. George B. Massey, the committee on Efficiency in Gov- ernment. The board went on record as favoring a September primary rather than a July or August one because of the difficulty in getting out the vote in a vacation period. Mrs. Hiram D. Frankel, chairman of the Committee on the Legal Status of Women, explained the Blanket or Equal Rights amendment to the Fed- eral Constitution, which is being pro- posed by the National Woman's Party. This amendment is vigorously opposed by the National League of Women Voters and other prominent women's organizations in that the amendment would remove all laws governing in- dustrial work for women which many states now have for the purpose of safeguarding the health of women and the welfare of the coming generation. | Mrs. Dwight P. Green gave a report | on the stand taken by Supt. Carleton , Washburne and the faculty of Horace | Mann school in regard to the proposed broadening of the streets bounding the school. The school board has taken | the same stand, which is in opposition ! to the proposal, as they feel that it is | detrimental to the school children and school. ! Mrs. Van der Vries, president of the League, appointed a nominating com- mittee composed of Mrs. John R. Montgomery, chairman, Mrs. Edwin E. Brown and Mrs. I. M. Portis. This committee will prepare the list of of- ficers to be elected at the annual meet- | ing in April. Mr. and Mrs. John O'Connor of 149 Kenilworth avenue left Thursday for New York and will sail today on the Majestic for Europe. ' Dr. Ralph Hamill to Talk to Parents on "Discipline" On Monday afternoon, January 16, . at 4:15 o'clock, Dr. Ralph Hamill will speak on "Discipline," in the assembly room of the Horace Mann School, under the auspices of the P. T. A. All parents are cordially invited to attend. Dr. Hamill's talk will be preceded by grade meetings in each schoolroom at On the evening of January 30 at 8:15 Hubbard Woods school will hold open house to all Winnetka parents. Perry D. Smith of the North Shore Country Day school will speak on the Locarno Conference, and Erskine Wil- der will sing. Hubbard Woods par- ents will visit their children's rooms be- tween the hours of 7:40 and 8:10. As this is to be a joint meeting of the four schools, Greeley, Horace Mann, Skokie and Hubbard Woods, a large audience is hoped for. Otto Kastrup Passes Away Following Stroke Otto Kastrup, Jr. residing at 1096 Cherry street, passed away at the family residence last Monday follow- ing a stroke of apoplexy. Services were conducted from the home on Thursday afternoon with burial at Forest Home cemetery. Mr. Kastrup is survived by his wife, Mrs. Emelia Kastrup, and two children, Jean and James. Oliver Barrett, Abbottsford road, Kenilworth, was host to twenty-four members of the Caxton club of Chi- cago, last Saturday afternoon.
