Village and Park Board Books Now Under Audit The auditors of Wolf and company, Chicago, are now engaged in making the semi-annual audit of the various accounts and records at the Village offices, a work which is being done in accordance with the usual practice. The audit, it is said, will be com- pleted in about two weeks, when a report will be made to the Village council. The reports are kept on file at the village office where they are avail able to interested citizens who might care to look them over. The above firm is also auditing the accounts of the Winnetka Park dis- trict at the Winnetka State bank, Rev. T. A. Goodwin to Give Memorial Address Rev. Thomas A. Goodwin, of the Winnetka Congregational church, wil preach Sunday at the Vesper service at the First Congregational church of Glen Ellyn. This is to be a Memorial service in which the Glen Ellyn Post of the American Legion is co-operat- ing. Members of the Winnetka Post are also to attend. =n Monday and Tuesday are Poppy Days a In Flanders Fields In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders Fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe; To you from failing hands we throw T he torch; be yours to hold it high. We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Fields. By JOHN McCREA North Shore Musical Society to Present Concert on June 4 The North Shore Musical society will give its second annual concert Monday evening, June 4, at the Wil- mette Woman's club. The concert is free to the public. This club was organized by Mrs. Dorothy Wing Macauley in 1920 and has held regular monthly meetings since that time. It was the idea of the president last year, Mrs. Gevilla E: Neukranz, to give an open musicale at the close of the year so that the public might have occasion to hear the musical talent of the north shore. Last year's concert was a decided success and it is the hope this season to have even a larger attendance. "Come and bring all your friends who enjoy good music," the society urges. Winifred Townsend Cree is to be the violin soloist instead of Ann Hathaway as was announced last week. Other solosits are: Frances Copthorne and Olive Ahara, sopranos; Dorothy Cordts, contralto; Electa Austin, pianist; and a trio composed of Jean MacShane, pianist, Bertha Dubbs, violinist, and Estelle Swigart, 'cellist. NURSE ATTENDS MEETING Miss Cora Queen, Winnetka school nurse, will leave for Louisville, Ky., on Sunday, June 3. She will attend the nurses' convention in that city. POPPY DAY, MAY 28 Monday, May 28, will be Poppy Day. Proceeds from the sale of poppies in Winnetka and Glencoe will go to the Service Fund of Win- netka Post No. 10, American Le- gion. It is hoped by all members of Winnetka Post that residents of Winnetka and Glencoe will patronize freely the women who have con- sented to aid in this worthy cause. They will wear the credentials of the American Legion. Rev. James A. Richards Preaches at Two Services Rev. James Austin Richards will conduct both the morning and Ves- per services at the Winnetka Con- gregational church. His sermon topic at the 11 o'clock service will be, "Let Us Be Narrow."
