L. WOOLHISER, Village Manager. T3-3te Hold Annual Town Meeting Tuesday, April 3 The annual Town meeting will be held at Community House, Winnetka, Tuesday, April 3, at 2 o'clock p. m. Mrs. Gertrude M. Thurston, super- visor and treasurer of New Trier township, is preparing her books for the annual audit, which will be made on April 27. Mrs. Thurston has held this office for fourteen years, during which time she has witnessed many changes in the township, and during which time the work of the office gradually in- creased to the very peak, in volume. With the annexation of vast areas to north shore villages in recent years, the work is diminishing, but there is still plenty to do. Lucille McAllister : Heads Gas Co., Home Service Department After more than two years as head of the Home Service department of the North Shore Gas company, Mrs. Nina T. Brewer has resigned and will leave shortly for Los Angeles, Calif. where she will make her home. The work of the popular Home Service department has been taken over by Mrs. Lucille McAllister, who has had extensive experience in this type of work in the south. Mrs. Brewer during her supervision of the Home Service work has com- piled many recipes which have been given to north shore housewives both through the newspapers and by distri- bution from the five stores of the North Shore Gas company. Many North Shore housewives will attest to the value of Mrs. Brewer's suggestions and to the popularity of her "Culinary Hints," which have appeared weekly in newspapers on the north shore. 3 All of the work of the Home Service department will now be assumed by Mrs. McAllister, whose varied experi- ences in this sort of work will prove valuable to north shore housewives. From the south, Mrs. McAllister brings recipes for tasty dishes long famous there. These recipes, in addi- tion to many others, will be distributed both through weekly articles in the newspapers and through the North Shore Gas company stores. Mrs. McAllister also will make reg- ular calls in all the communities served by the North Shore Gas company to test oven heat reguators and make suggestions for use in the kitchen. Start Work on New High School Athletic Field A resolution providing for the im- mediate starting of preliminary work on the development of the New Trier athletic field located immediately east of Essex road, was adopted by the High school board at its meeting last Tuesday night. This work will in- clude the grading, leveling and lay- ing out the various fields to be located on the area. No plans are being formulated for the erection of a stadium on the area and the reports that have been cir- culating throughout the township to this effect are entirely without foun- dation, it was stated by Supt. Frederick E. Clerk in discussing plans for the development and use of the field. Resolutions of appreciation of the board to Edmund Castles for his co- operation with the school faculty in speaking on "Law as a Profession" be- fore the Juniors of the school in con- nection with vocational guidance course, and to Supt. E. L. Nygaard of the Kenilworth schools for the Art exhibit which is now on display at the High school, were also passed by the board. Harmon Fund Provides Grants for Playgrounds In order to assist real estate opera- tors to establish permanent public playgrounds in new residential devel- opments, the Harmon Foundation has set aside $40,000 for grants to develop- ers during 1928, according to an an- nouncement of the Playground and Recreation association of America. The association will administer the plan of awards. Application for a grant from this Harmon Playfield fund may be made by any developer of a residential sub- division in any city in the United States, it is explained. No limit is set definitely to the size of the grant which may be made to any one devel- oper, but is intended to divide the 1928 appropriation among not less than twenty residential developments whic qualify. :
