May 5, 1928 WINNETKA "TALK HEAR EXPERT VIEWS ABOUT 'BETTER HOMES' (Continued from Page 3) | Here's the New cst than a passing show of color. Gardens should be developed out of native T P AN V U plants. "Let all plant what they want," COMBINA ION X X L / \ I 4 E said Mr. Jensen. "Love is needed in caring for them. Every garden should give pleasure from your own view- point. A thing to be avoided is the tendency of over-crowding." He mentioned the sentiment con- = 0 nected with the lilac, also the beauty A of the siabiepple ond Hanthoroe) which were symbolic of the great plains. As Cheerful As Though a Ray of Sunshine Was Sewn In Every One He mentioned the value of plant- ing sugar maples instead of poplars. Art is to be found in a few simple things in composition on a lot, and crowding is to be avoided. Speaks on Zoning Eugene Rummler presided at the last of the Better Homes conferences Saturday evening, April 29. The audi- ence was small, owing to the many counter-attractions of that evening, but those who were there felt very strong- ly that many were sustaining a great loss in not being present, for the meeting was full of interest and value. Robert Kingery was the speaker of the evening, and presented the sub- ject of zoning. He made it very clear to all that zoning is for the home-owners' protection, rather than as a mere restriction. In placing the building line thirty feet back from the sidewalk and in maintaining the six-foot space on either side of a dwelling between same and lot line, a home builder is pro- viding better light, air and protection from fire hazards. Zoning laws have been in existence only six years in Illinois, and Win- netka was the second city or town to employ them. In answering questions after his talk, Mr. Kingery cleared up a number of perplexing things about zoning, and he made everyone feel grateful for the protection afforded by zoning laws. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Fitch and son, Graham, 416 Cumnor road, Kenil- worth, have returned from a trip to ; A Wealth of Materials, Fort Wayne, where Miss Margaret . . Fitch is playing with a stock company.
