March 10, 1928 WINNETKASTALK £2 oo At Woman's Society The meeting of the Woman's society of the Winnetka Congregational church last Wednesday proved to be as interesting as previous reports had promised it would be. At 10:30 o'clock the Neighborhood room was filled with busy workers. At this time Mrs. Lloyd Faxon gave an interpretation of Richard Henry Lit- tle's "Better Angels," which was en- joyed by all. Mrs. William Boyden, general chair- man of the bazaar, which is to be held November 20 and 21, told of the plans already made. The funds raised from these "Holiday Shops" are to be turned into the Building fund for the new church. The chairmen and co-chair- men of the various committees have been selected, and enthusiasm is rife among all the members of the society. Mrs. Albert Smith was in charge of the devotionals, following which was: a most delicious luncheon served by the hostesses, Mrs. Joseph Coambs and Mrs. Fletcher Marsh and their com- mittee. Mrs. A. J. Boynton, chairman of the World Friendship committee, intro- duced the speaker of the afternoon, Mrs. Kenneth F. Rich. Mrs. Rich is well known to many people in Winnetka, being the first vice-president of the Illinois League of Women Voters. She has also served on the staff of the School of Civics and Philanthropy, and is at present director of the Immigrants' Protective league. In the beginning of her address, Mrs. Rich made a plea for tolerance and good will toward the "stranger within our gates," and a return to our first best traditions which are so much needed at this time. One of the most important subjects under discussion at all times in Con- gress has been, and still is, that of Immigration." Mrs. Rich reminded . us that the sixty-ninth Congress had 184 immigration bills. There are lively debates in Congress now over 75 bills relative to this very important subject. : New international machinery is seek- mg agreements between nations, and changes in laws concerning quotas-- t YOU TELLUS W AND TELL ; US WHAT -- YOU'LL FIND US PROMPTLY ON "THE SPOT / © HEN - } UST like that!!!!

The distribution slackened during the war, but efforts are being made to return to what was called the "fan-like" distribution. The United States immigration laws are being administered abroad in four- teen countries. Medical inspection abroad cuts down a needless trip to many. Immigration policy is based on selection, the first test being that of fitness. Mrs. Rich stated that the fear pos- sessed by many over the much-mooted question of the fusion of races is un- founded, as the percent of foreign born population compared with the total population in Illinois was 18.7; in Chi- cago, 29.8; in the United States, 13.2; this being the same as before the Civil War. Before the late war, immigrants came to the United States at the rate of a million a year. Emigrants left at the rate of 200,000 a year. At present the immigrants arrive at the rate of 300,000 and the counter movement is 100.00. In Illinois the rate is 20,000 and the counter movement is 5,000, leaving a net gain of 15,000. Among many noted men in our edu- cational circles, Mrs. Rich mentioned the names of foreign-born men, as Steinmetz and Michelson. The build- ing of our railroads, mining of our coal. and other necessary labor is done by foreieners. Spinning and weaving among the women. wonderful needle- work bv the Armenian women, cera- mics bv the Mexicans, all have con- tributed to our unexampled progress during the last fifty vears. The questions for those desiring to become citizens are perplexing, one (OFFICIAL PUBLICATION) Report of the condition of Winnetka State Bank located at Winnetka, State of Illinois, at the close of business on the 28th day of February, 1928, as made to the Auditor of Public Accounts of the State of Illinois, pursuant to law.

A bill is in Congress which if passed will allow re-examination be- fore the bureau of immigration. Other problems of the new-comer are concerned in the process of im- migration. Many such questions are asked as, "What is meant by immigra- tion vise?" "My wife is in Poland, how long before she can come here?" "My grandmother wishes to come and live with us. I can take care of her. May she come?" These are vital questions involving the peace and happiness of the family. A measure is now pending in Congress which would allow re- union of families here, - The education of the adults among the foreign population has been pro- vided for by twenty-two states. Illi- nois was not among the first to adopt such measures, but through the efforts of the late Mrs. Katherine Goode this has been accomplished. Among those most eager for adult education are the Mexican immigrants. When the Sante Fe organized camps within the Chicago limits for this pur- pose, the Mexicans asked for four nights a week instead of two. They are most interested, and need greatly to have new standards of life presented to them in order to make progress. Mrs. Rich was a most pleasing speaker and seemed familiar with every point of this very difficult question. She has great sympathy for these new- comers, who are ignorant of our language and customs, and who feel aloofness keenly when they encounter it. With closer international relation- ship, it is hoped there will come more good will and real friendship among the nations. KELVINATOR REPRESENTATIVE Otis C.
