June 2, 1928 WINNETKA TALK Charles Howells Coffin A Tribute (Contributed) In the death of Charles Howells Cofin on May 13, Winnetka lost one of its most devoted citizens. A man of intense patriotism, his love of country found expression in a wide variety of civic interests, and a deep insight into human nature made him a leader in all that he undertook. At the same time a certain modesty and re- serve characterized all his public work, so that his successes were frequently unknown to the crowd. He did not look for thanks or commendation, but with a single eye strove for his goal. He was born in Indiana and came to Chicago as a child. He was educated at Sewanee Military academy, Yale university and the University of Vir- ginia, where he took his degree in law. After a few years at the bar he went into the investment banking business and prior to his death was president of Coffin, Forman & company and vice-president of George M. Forman & company. His banking interests brought him into close touch with the liberty loan campaigns and when the Chicago Liberty Loan committee was organized he became one of the four vice-chair- men and did outstanding work in that position in connection with the third and fourth liberty loans and the Victory loan. He was largely occupied in this field for a year and a half, and during that time some $650,000,000 of bonds were sold in Chicago. He had always been an active mem- ber of the Episcopal church and in 1920 volunteered for the work on the nation-wide campaign and achieved phenomenal success. He was a mem- ber of the Bishop and Council of the Diocese of Chicago from 1920 to 1926, and also served as a delegate to the Diocesan convention. In 1920 when the campaign was un- dertaken to raise a fund by popular subscription to build the Skokie school in Winnetka he was called into service and had a large share in making pos- sible the beautiful building that was completed in 1922. His last piece of work was in many ways the most characteristic of him. As president of the Village Improve- ment association he organized the committee which perfected the plans for the Winnetka War Memorial and raised the fund with which it was built. It stands today a tribute to those who gave their last full measure of devo- tion. It is also to those who knew and loved him a fitting reminder of the life and service of Charles Howells Coffin. Dog Declared Rabid by State Health Board The dog which last week ran amuck in Kenilworth and Winnetka, biting three people in Winnetka and two in Kenilworth and attacking three other people in Kenilworth, was declared positively to be suffering from rabies by the Illinois State Board of Health, to which the head had been sent for positive diagnosis. MAKES GARDEN VISIT The Kenilworth Garden club spent last Friday afternoon at the Franken Nurseries at Deerfield looking over the display of tulips and later had tea at the Indian Hill Golf club as the guest of Mrs. Bentley McCloud. The competitive flower arrangements in bowls and pitchers scheduled for that day at the home of Mrs. Leon Allen on Melrose avenue, is postponed until the meeting on June 8 Frosh and Soph Girls to Have Play Day on June 2 Saturday morning, June 2, at 9 o'clock the New Trier girls will cele- brate Freshman-Sophomore Play day. The girls in those classes have been practicing the events in their gym classes, and it is the hope of the Phy- sical Education department that every girl in these two classes will compete in this Play day. The events have been planned so that all the girls will feel free to compete in some of the events to be offered. There will be base- ball games, track events, and stunts, including sack and potato races that do not require preliminary practice. There will also be several surprise events. RETURNING FROM EUROPE Mrs. Walter F. Wallace of 815 Mt. Pleasant road, and her daughter, Miss Virginia, are expected to land in Mon- treal Monday, June 4, after a three months' trip to Europe.
