Men Will Be Identified By Service Dance and Refresh- ments Provided Buttons; Winnetka's service men will cer- tainly "travel in style" when they enter Community House Wednesday evening, November 26, for the big Reception and Dance. No frills or formalities but just a genuine, good time for the men and their "best girls". There'll be a big time in the old town that night: Someone asked how the service men were to be known when the big gymnasium of Community House is filled with happy people. Well, it will be a game of "Button, Button, who's got the But- ton"! It is expected that every serv- ice man will wear either his service button or the American Legion but- ton in the lapel of his coat. Welcome the Boys Wednesday evening, November 26, will be Winnetka's great night. Every man and woman will be on hand to welcome Winnetka's "very best". The entire main floor of Community House is to be utilized for the even- ing's activities. Refreshments are to be served from 9 to 10 o'clock in the Assembly room. The reception will be held in the gymnasium from 8 to 10 o'clock. There will be danc- ing from 9 o'clock until midnight. Spamer's five-piece ; orchestra has been engaged for thé occasion. Ela- borate programs of unique design are to be presented to the service men as keepsakes. As the floor space is limited no children under fifteen years of age will be admitted. CALL WINNETKA 794 TO GET SHERIDAN MAN FOR HOLIDAY Reservations For Men To Be Invited By Winnetkans for Thanksgiving Should Be Made Today Several residents have informed Mrs. Frederick Thomas that they "thought" of taking a Fort Sheridan man for Thanksgiving Dinner, and would let her know more definitely later. If you want-a Fort Sheridan man for Thanksgiving, you must make that fact known NOW and not wait until next week. It is no simple task to get fifty men down from Fort Sheridan and back--that's the num- ber already invited--so arrangements must be made in advance. Call up Mrs. Thomas today (telephone Win- netka 794 and tell her "yes" or "no". It isn't quite fair not to inform her definitely until the eleventh hour: Don't make it more difficult for her than you can help! PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION OF THE NEW FIRE APPARATUS The Fire department will exhibit the new American La France pump- ing engine in action at the Village Commons on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 27, at 3 o'clock. All persons in the Village interest- ed in the efficiency of our fire pro- tection are invited to be present. H. L. Woolhiser, Village Manager. INVITATION! It is the desire of the committee to have every Winnetka service man receive a personal invitation to the Reception and Dance at Community House on Wednesday, November 26, and if any service man fails to re- seive an invitation it is simply be- cause the committee had been unable to get his name on the list, but he is inyited just the same--and wanted. NOTED DIVINE HERE The Reverend Herman Page, Bishop of Spokane, Wash., will con- duct the services Sunday, November 23, at Christ church chapel at 7:30 o'clock and at Christ church on Sher- idan road at 11 o'clock. He will ad- dress the Sunday school on Oak street at 9:30 o'clock. PARENT-TEACHER ACTIVITIES The lower grades of Horace Mann school will have a meeting Wednes- day afternoon.

JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENED Mrs. Frederick Thomas Is Some Provider fcr the Wounded Men at Fort Sheridan "Scared to Death!" Yes. that was about the size of it, when Mrs. Fred- erick Thomas set out to give a dinner at Community House for one hun- dred Fort Sheridan hospital patients a couple of weeks ago. How could she get the money? Well she decided on a "Bridge Party" and everybody came to help along in such a good cause that the result was one hundred men had a tip-top dinner. But Listen--When all the bills were paid Mrs. Thomas had one hundred real dollars left over. Now what do you think is going to be done with so much money? Why Mrs. Thomas has made up fifty boxes containing candy, fruit and cigarets for just that many Fort Sheridan men who are bed- ridden for Thanksgiving Day. But those boxes only cost one dollar a piece, so she will have fifty more boxes for distribution at Fort Sher- idan on Christmas. We consider that some pretty good work and if you don't agree, just go up to Fort Sheridan after Thanks- giving and ask the men who got those boxes. LOOK OUT THERE BANDIT, HE'S SURE ON YOUR TRAIL George Imes, Winnetka contractor, left his automobile stand in Elm street on Armistice Day. Somebody came along and pilfered the spare tire. "Gosh! that's what you call a co- incident, isn't it? he inquired of some consoling friend a little later. Last year on Armistice Day someone swip- ed the lap robe in my machine, I'm pretty near sure who the person is, but of course, I'm not saying just now." UNION SERVICES The Unton Thanksgiving Day serv- ices will be held this year in Christ church, Sheridan road and Humboldt avenue, at 10:30 o'clock. The Rev. James Austin Richards will be the preacher, and Mr. Davies, Mr. Clover of the Swedish Lutheran, Mr. Fornes' of the Norwegian Lutheran church, and Mr. Gerhard will assist in con- ducting the services. COMMUNION There will be a celebration of the Holy Communion in the chapel of Christ church on Thanksgiving Day, at 9:30 o'clock. : cr ' | | I ! S. J.

BUY THEM IN THE VILLAGE Meat Markets, Greceries and Fruit Stores Well Stocked for Thanks- giving Dinners Don't go out hunting wild turkey's for that Thanksgiving dinner. Win- netka meat markets, . groceries, bakeries and fruit stores are stocking up an ample supply of everything customarily brought into the annual family feast. Rip At Thanksgiving time, not ouly, but throughout the year Winnetka gro- cers. and market men 'are offering special sale inducements to house- wives through the advertising col- umns of the Weekly Talk. Each week the housewife may, at a glance, become apprised of real bargains in a great variety of commodities. These "specials" announcements appear in the advertising columns of the Week- ly Talk every week. It would pay the housewife to watch closzly these extraordinary advantages in home buying. Winnetka marketers have all and as good products as the Chicago stores. The cost of buying here is less and saves a lot of time. THAT LIL' GAME OF STUD STOPPED BY PRYING COPS William Bergdorf, night policeman and John Iverson, special policeman, sauntered in the vicinity of a livery stable at 730 'Elm streét, Tuesday morning at 3 o'clock. They peeped through one of the windows and, lo! beheld a regular stud poker game with money on the table and every- thing. An alarm clock nearby hadj been set against the time when the coppers were scheduled to make the rounds in that neighborhood. The fool clock stalled and the deal was of such absorbing interest that the group of four gamesters were caught red landed. Justice Northrup assessed fines as follows: Lloyd Voltz, $10; David Wood, $10; C. L. Darst, $10; John Bodman, $5.

Soares, head of the Department of Practical Theo- logy at the University' of Chicago, interested a large audience at €om- munity House last Sunday evening. The Community Sunday Evening meetings, conducted under the joint auspices of the Protestant churches of Winnetka, have proven such a de- cided success as to be regarded prae- tically as one of the permanent in- stitutions in the Village.
