VILLAGERS TO INSPECT COMMUNITY HOUSE WORK "Open House" at Center Has Been Scheduled for Eve- nings of October 14-15 The doors of Community House will swing wide to the village of Winnetka Wednesday and Thursday evenings, October 14 and 15, when "Open House" will be maintained there, and the public will be given an opportunity to see the busy center in action. The plan is to have each adult group which uses the House regularly hold a regular meeting, but to have open doors so that the public may witness something illus- trative in the activity. Each room in the building is to be used. There will be ushers to conduct tours of the building, it is explained, and reception committees have been ap- pointed by each group to welcome visitors, and explain activities. Community House is known nation- ally and internationally. There have been many inquiries among newcomers in the village as to just what Commu- nity House does, and how it serves the community. No better answer could be given than to spend an evening, there, quietly going around the building and looking in on the groups. Classes in Session Some" of the gymnasium classes will be in session. There will also be folk dancing and music by the Czecho- Slovakian group. The British Amer- ican society will have some old country dances, such as they give regularly in the building. The Rotary club will give a dinner in Rudolph Matz hall, at which there will be a typical Ro- tary program. The Winnetka Men's club will put on some musical numbers. Later in the evening, the Community Drama club will present a delightful one-act play, "Fourteen," by Helen Gerstenberg. The cast is composed of Mrs. Harry Clarke, Katherine Wort- ley, and Charles Eastman. The play is under the direction of Mrs. John C. Marshall, and the properties are in charge of Mrs. Davies Lazear. The Brush and Pencil class and members of the Art league will do silhouettes. The English classes will be at work. The Scandinavian Pleasure club will have games from the old country. The American Legion, Women's society, League of Women Voters and other organizations will be represented. For Adults Only This is an evening for adults--not for children--and, in accordance with the policy of the House not to stage any children's activities on school nights, there will be no children's work. Some of the work of the young people will be suggested, however, in a small exhibit from the Camp Fire Girls and Boy Scouts. In short, it will be an attempt to give the public of Winnetka an op- portunity not only to see something of the work done in this interesting and busy center, but to catch something of its spirit and usefulness, though to realize it to the full, one would need to be in the building all day and every day. Community House has been called the friendly heart of Winnetka and the village will have a chance to glimpse it on these evenings, when it throws open its doors to the adult population. rs
