WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1925 7 WILMETTE GIRL HEROINE AT 13 Betty Funke Saves Girl from Drowning The 'practical value of Girl Scout training in life-saving as taught to Wilmette girls was demonstrated by Betty Funke, 13-year-old Wilmette Girl Scout, who saved Laverne Foland, Betty Funke 19 years old, from drowning while at Spirit lake near Spokane, Wash., last week. Betty, who is as much at home in the water as on land, took a thorough course in life-saving last year while at Camp Elkhorn with other local Girl Scouts and won her badge. She has been spending the past month on a va- cation with friends at Spirit lake in- stead of going to Camp Elkhorn. While standing on the bank last Thursday, she heard frightened cries from the lake and her training sent her immediately to see what was wrong. Running out onto a pier, she saw Laverne Foland go down strug- gling and gasping. Betty dived in and quickly swam the hundred yards to the sinking girl. When she arrived, Miss Foland was almost unconscious. She grasped her by the arm, to prevent a drowning grip being taken, flipped her to a floating posture and struck out for shore. Her unusual strength as a swimmer made it possible to bring her burden in but even then her work was not done. Applying the approved methods of resuscitation taught to the Girl Scouts, she pumped the water from the girl's lungs and completed her res- cue. Scores of persons are reported to have witnessed the rescue. Betty is the daughter of Erwin H. Funke, 1008 Greenleaf avenue. He is vice-president of Von Cleff and com- pany, hardware dealers of 190 North State street, Chicago. With the Poets LOVE'S IMMORTAL DAY At dawn quiet abounded, sweet flowers surrounded--Alas! A cloud of sense, and then the storm-- Vet early morn! The winds and waves, aroused Within mv troubled breast Most overwhelming stress, and fear. whose shock Methought the weeds of error reap- peared. I cried unto the Lord: "Art Thou not here?" A thunderbolt, a crash--an inner voice then spake: Wilt never thou relinquish pride, envy, sensitiveness, That instill hate. malice, with their deadly sting? What tho to you someone was unkind-- cruel, too, unfriendly? Forgive, as thou wouldst be forgiven, And prav for grace and vigilance from heaven ; "Twill be thy guide and sure de- fense; A true reward and recompense, That thou mayst dwell beside still waters, And in the sunshine of His Love secure- ly rest. By Truth's own sword error, felled, lay wilted ; The day and night far spent, and yon- der hilltop gray, Yet wondrously tinted, fortells another awn. <r The "Peace be still'--'twas born amid the storm; And Truth's sweet flowers of grace Now tenderly unfold their leaves to Love's Immortal Day. --CHARLOTTE W. BECKER, Hubbard Woods. M. K. Meyer, 829 Elm street, and Mr. and Mrs. Willis S. Hilpert and two children, and Mrs. James F. Mc- Cormick and two sons of Edmonton, Canada, have gone on a lake trip. Miss Marigold Langworthy, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Langworthy, 832 Bryant avenue, left Thursday for an indefinite stay in New York city. DOG STARS IN CENTER FILM "Silent Accuser" to Be Seen Here Friday Friday, August 14, Community House will offer the second of the series of "greater" movies in celebra- tion of "Greater Movie Season." "The Silent Accuser" has been selected as the feature picture and will be fol- lowed by Our Gang in "The Sundown Limited." "The Silent Accuser" is a melo- dramatic novelty and also serves to introduce a new star to the screen. The newcomer is Peter the Great, an unusually intelligent police dog. If there is such a thing as personality in a dog, Peter the Great has it. Peter the Great plays the title role of the story which was written by Jack Boyle and adapted to the screen by Frank O'Connor and Mr. Frank- lin, who have crammed their yarn with fast action. The cast is headed by Eleanor Boardman, Raymond McKee and Earle Metcalfe. In handling the story of how a dog, through his almost human instinct and with the aid of the heroine, brings Justice on the real criminal when the hero is falsely accused of the crime, the director has introduced a situation that has never before been used. "The Silent Accuser" is one of those rare pictures which has equal gripping power on grown-ups and children. Neither can fail to respond to its cer- tain appeal. Cameraman Charles Dreyer is responsible for the splendid photography. Andy Finds Going Good Enroute to Yellowstone Andrew Hostnick of Cadillac fame, who is conducting a party on a motor tour to Yellowstone Park, postcards WINNETKA TALK that he is well on the way on his "yearly grind."
