XVII, NO. 11 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, MAY 19, 1928 PRICE FIVE CENTS GRIEG MALE CHORUS SINGS HERE WEDNESDAY Famous Musical Group to Pre- sent Benefit Concert for Scandinavian Church Fund The Grieg Male chorus, which re- cently appeared in its twelfth annual concert at the Logan Square Masonic temple, will appear in a concert to be given in. the Jane Kuppenheimer Memorial hall, Skokie school, Wed- nesday evening, May 23, at 8:15 o'clock. Sverre Larsen, distinguished tenor soloist, wiil sing with the chorus and also render several solo numbers. Miss Esther Arneson, pianist, whose recent recital at the Fine Arts hall brought forth such a unanimous favor- able response from the music critics of the Chicago dailies, will also appear on the program, both as accompanist and soloist. Miss Arneson is an in- structor in the Austin Conservatory. Peter Olson, Conductor The chorus was organized twelve years ago by a group of men, of Nor- wegian descent, and named after the famous Norwegian composer, Edvard Grieg. It has continued ever since under the leadership of its capable conductor, Peter Olson. The chorus has been held together not only because of the desire on the part of the members to study chorus music, but because of their desire to spread cheer by giving programs for the entertainment of those confined in hospitals, infirmaries, old people's homes, children's homes, etc. Swell Church Fund The program Wednesday evening is being sponsored by the First Scandi- navion Evangelical church of Win- netka for the purpose of raising funds whereby it may be possible to make repairs and alterations to the church, to both improve its appearance and in- crease its facilities for serving the community in the most efficient man- ner. The Sunday school has long ago outgrown the present church building, so that its further expansion will be impossible until room is provided. The church, realizing this situation, has now elected a Building committee, and plans are being made to transform the present church building into an up- to-date church edifice. North shore residents attending the concert will thus not only enjoy a music treat of the highest order, but will have the assurance that they are contributing to the support of one of their own institutions, and especially making an investment in the youth of the community.

Winnetka Playfield Association Elects Officers Tuesday Winnetka Playfield association, membership in which is open to every resident of the community upon pay- ment of a modest fee used to insure proper maintenance of the golf course and other features at this wonderful municipal recreation center, will hold an important meeting at Community House Tuesday evening, May 22, at which officers for the ensuing season will be elected and important matters concerning the association opened for discussion. Next Tuesday's session has been called by Gardner W. Howe, secretary of the association who was chairman at a preliminary meeting of the associa- tion at which a Nominating committee, authorized to select a slate of candi- dates, was appointed. This committee, which will submit its report next Tues- day, is comprised of William S. Nord- burg, chairman; James G. Ross, and John Belmont. Too much emphasis cannot be at- tached to next Tuesday's meeting, ac- cording to Secretary Howe, since it will provide the opportunity for a frank discussion of the problems and needs of the Playfield, and plans for its fu- ture development. Prof. C. S. Braden Will Speak Before Men's Class Sunday = morning, May 20, Prof. Charles S. Braden of Northwestern university will address the Men's class of the Winnetka Congregational church on the "Historical Develop- ment of Christianity." This subject is considered by many as of more than usual importance at this time because of the rapidly changing character of much of the religious thought among Bot Christian and non-Christian peo- ples. The class will meet at 9:45 o'clock in the American Legion room at Com- munity House. It cordially invites all men who may care to come. What is the logical way to solve your PRINTING problems ? * PAGE 53 TELLS HOW WINNETKA SECOND IN VOTERS' FLAG AWARD Village Nosed Out by Kenilworth Which Takes Walton League Trophy Second Time Wednesday morning, May 16, at 8:30 in the Assembly room of the New Trier Township High school, the American flag, which is presented by the Izaak Walton league of Winnetka after each election in New Trier town- ship to that village which polls the largest vote in proportion to the total number of registered voters in the vil- lage, was presented by Carl Zeiss to Kenilworth in whose behalf it was re- ceived by Mrs. M. W. Cresap, pres- ident of the Kenilworth League of Women Voters. The percentages for the April Prim- ary were as follows: Kenilworth, 83%; Winnetka, 81%; Wilmette, 70%; Glencoe, 64%. The percentages were based on the County Clerk's record of the actual number who voted and his record of the voters registered. Win Flag Second Time This is the second time that Kenil- worth has won the flag, the previous time being at the primary election in 1926. Winnetka won it in the general elec- tion in 1926. When the flag is won three times by one of the New Trier Township village it becomes the permanent prop- erty of that village. It is interesting to note the improve- ment in the vote during the time the flag has been the subject of contest: Primary April '26 Gen. Election '2§ Winnetka, 62.3% Kenilworth, 47% ° Winnetka, 449, Kenilworth, 62.1% Glencoe, 39.49, Wilmette, 529% Wilmette, 38.7% Glencoe, 46% Incentive to Youth The presentation of the flag is made in the Assembly room of the New Trier Township High school for two reasons, one being that it is the out- standing institution of the township, representing all of the four villages and also because the audience is made up principally of young people who are approaching the age at which they can vote and judging from the interest displayed on Wednesday morning they are going to take up the friendly in- terest in this contest when they have arrived at an age to be able to do so. Contracts Awarded for Four Improvement Jobs Bids were received and contracts awarded for four pieces of work by the Village Board of Local Improve- ments Tuesday evening. They include the paving of Locust road, from Pine street to Westmoor road with an 18- foot bituminous macadam pavement, awarded to the Rock Road Construc- tion Co., of Chicago, for $7,031; the installation of water mains in Ridge road from Winnetka avenue to Mea- dow road, a distance of a block. to Tames Vitti & Son. for $1,362, which firm also received the other two con- tracts, that for water mains and sanitary sewer in the Country Day subdivision. the former at a cost of $927 and the latter, $801.
