40 WINNETKA TALK June 2, 1928 --before you shop read the ADS Nicholas Murray Butler Heads Relief Committee SOFIA, Bulgaria, May 29--Madame Liapcheff, wife of the Prime minister, is receiving funds through the Bul- garian representative of Near East Relief from an American Committee of which Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university, is chairman. These funds have been con- tributed by American individuals to feed 1,000 children rendered homeless by the recent earthquakes. A similar contribution is being made by Near East Relief to care for 500 baby vic- tims of the earthquakes in Greece. In Illinois a woman can work at em- ployment ten hours a day seven days in the week. Eighteen states have a so-called "ten hour law" for women.

Evanston Branch Telephone, University 8600 FLOWER GUILD READY FOR CONTRIBUTIONS Season for Distribution of Blooms to Poor and Ailing Opens This Morning Thanks to the kind hearts of the residents of Winnetka and vicinity, the organized distribution of surplus flow- ers to the shut-ins, the poor, and the under-privileged in Chicago, began this week by the Chicago Plant, Flower and Fruit guild for its third season. § The opening day was a gala occa- sion. The booths were in the special charge of the garden clubs of Oak Park, River Forest, and Woodstock, and the debutante daughters of many of the guild officers assisted in caring for the flowers. Where Flowers Go Fach day, excepting Saturday and Sunday, during each week of the summer, a different garden club will have special charge of the booth, and will be particularly responsible for the floral contributions, though the guild officers emphasize the point that the success of their charitable work de- mands the whole-hearted support of those who have flowers to spare. Remarkable Welfare Work To quote one of the workers of last year: "Not only have the flowers gone regularly into some of the darkest corners of our hospitals to make the last few days and hours more bearable for their hopelessly incurable patients; and into wretchedly poor homes in the center of our big smoky city--where little children follow the 'Distributors of Flowers' in the street, begging for 'just one flower, which they tenderly place in an old tin can or milk bottle, and set right in their front window; also they have gone to many little old crippled and bed-ridden grandmothers and forlorn grandfathers, and cheered them by their bright colors and fra- grance, and given to them a feeling of contact wth the 'great out-of-doors." " If the men folks rush to the station, without your flowers, or if you are going into the city on an early shop- ping trip, leave your offerings at the local station, and they will be given to the train men who will deposit them at the guild's booth at the North Western station. The bootk is open from 8 until 11 a.m., at which time they are sent out. in taxi-cabs to the various charities. Local Rotarians Attend Greater Chicago Meeting Members of the Wilmette and Win- netka Rotary clubs attended the Great- er Chicago Inter-club meeting of the Chicago Rotary club at the Hotel Sherman Tuesday noon of this week. Featuring the program was a debate in which a representative of the Chi- cago club assumed the affirmative on the question "Resolved: that the Sub- urbs be Annexed to Chicago." F. IL Budinger took the negative side of the question for the Wilmette club, while Carleton W. Washburne espoused: the negative for Winnetka. The Greater Chicago Inter-club program is an an- nual event. MRS. BERTHA C. ANDRE DIES Mrs. Bertha C. Andre, 92 years old, the mother of Mrs. David S. Ingram who was formerly the organist at Sacred Heart church and lived in Winnetka, died at North Hollywood, Cal, Saturday, May. 19. Mrs. Andre will be remembered by her many Win- netka friends who knew her when she lived with Mrs. Ingram on Foxdale avenue.
