Host DAMS PHARMACY The exall Store Elm & Linden WINNETKA 2 FISH-EATING COLLIE Dog With Unusual Appetite Devours Thirty Fish at One Meal and Goes Back for More A white collie dog with a penchant for gold fish rather than beef. steak, was captured as the creature respon- sible for the disappearance of 30 of the three dozen fish in the pool at the Dr. B. E. Fillis residence, 1138 Tower road, Winnetka. Mrs. Fillis notified the police last Saturday that she had the culprit safe- ly locked in the basement. Officers Ralph Rayburn and Carl Bishop took the collie to the dog pound where he remained until Monday, when he was returned to the Julius Frielander home, 1198 Chatfield road, where he bhe- longed. The fish eating collie, securely muzzled, was again turned loose, and that afternoon was back at the Fillis pool, trying his darndest to get those remaining six fish. Three Trustees Vote for Two Rezoning Measures An amending ordinance for a re- zoning of the northwest corner of Ar- bor Vitae road and Elm street from "A" residential to "C" commercial, a question which has been before the Village council for some time, was passed at a meeting of that body Tues- day evening, according to a majority of trustees present. Trustee Walter A. Strong and H. C. Raclin were ab- sent and Trustee R. H. Schell voted "no" on the proposition. Similar approval was given to the proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance setting aside certain areas to be desigated as "AA" residential territory, which provides that no homesite in this section shall be less than one-half acre in area. Trustee Schell, however, was recorded as not voting on this measure. On the for- mer he voted "no," resulting in both being passed by a vote of a majority of those present. Mr. and Mrs. C. F. M. Miller of 936 Elm street returned home recently after an entended trip through the east. They visited first in Rochester and then drove, with Mr. Miller's nephew, to various interesting spots on the way home among them being Get- tysburg, National bridge, Mammoth cave, Lincoln's birthplace, John Brown's fort, the courthouse where he was sentenced, the jail where he was hung and his grave in New York. ly Miss Ann Meyer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Meyer of Walden road who are occupying the Frederick Thomas house for the summer, enter- tained a number of her {friends at a barbecue luncheon at the Villa de Metra followed by a swimming party at the Club Vista del Lago. Oil Truck Wrecked as Passing Auto Hurls It Off Road Fast driving and an attempt to pass and "cut-in" in front of one of the oil trucks of the North Shore Mos- quito Abatement district, as that con- veyance was Crossing the railroad tracks on Dundee road between Glen- coe and Northbrook, resulted in ditch- ing the truck, and a fine of $5.00 and costs against the driver of the car causing the wreck. The accident occurred Saturday afternoon at 1:30. Henry Grundeis, driver of the truck, was west-bound. In the seat with him was his helper, Lawrence Mattioda. H. G. Chamberlain, of 245 Franklin road, Glencoe, approached from the east, driving at a high rate of speed, according to Grundeis. Another car approaching from the west compelled Chamberlain to cut in too closely to the truck, in order to avoid a collision with the east-bound car, and the hub of the right rear wheel on Chamberlain's car raked the hub of the left front wheel of the truck with sufficient force to jerk the steering wheel out of the truck driver's hands. In the next instant the truck was hurled into the ditch at the road side, hurtling over several times before landing in a jumbled mass of wreckage. Neither Grundeis nor Mattioda were injured, and the former, as soon as he could regain his feet, requested a pass- ing motorist to aid him in overtaking the car which had wrecked the truck and which had continued on its west- ward course. The car was overtaken at Waukegan road and Shermer avenue, North- brook. where Chamberlain went be- fore a justice of the peace and paid a $5.00 fine. Valona Brewer, who is spending the summer in study and travel abroad, will resume her classes in the Colum- bus School of Music, on September 16. Mrs. Brewer has leased her home on Westmore road to the Francis Baileys for a year and plans to live in Chicago, coming out to Winnetka twice a week for her pupils. She re- ports a - worthwhile trip through France, Switzerland, Holland and England. ye Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Dean Murphy and family of 875 Hill road returned recently after spending a month at Quill Point, their summer lodge near the Michigan-Wisconsin state line.
