INNETKA TALK A Weekly News-Magazine for Winnetka VOL. XIV, NO. 32 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, OCTOBER 17, 1925 PRICE FIVE CENTS MEN'S CLUB TO HEAR NOTED TRUST EXPERT Lucius Teter Secured as First Speaker of Season Before Winnetka Organization The Winnetka Men's club will open its season with a dinner at Community House, Wednesday, October 28. The Men's club is one of the oldest or- ganizations of its kind on the north shore and it is planned to make the coming year the best in the club's existence. An excellent list of speak- ers has been selected for the dinners which are held once each month. The club is an open organization and every man in the village is welcome to membership. Newcomers are es- pecially invited to join and thus become acquainted with their neighbors. Notices will be mailed by the secre- tary, John R. Montgomery, early next week to those on the list, it is stated, but any who do not receive word are requested to notify the secretary, or leave word at Community House. Speaks on Trust Companies The club announces that it has been fortunate in having for its first speaker, Lucius Teter, - president of the Chi- cago Trust company. Mr. Teter will speak on some of the phases of the development of trust companies in re- cent vears. This is regarded as a sub- ject of particular interest today in view of the increasing use of the trust com- pany in managing the estates of not only the wealthy upon their death, but also the estate of the man who leaves a small amount which can be adminis- tered by the trust organization. The will of the late Victor Lawson has been cited by the newspapers as the last word in modern methods of pro- viding for the careful, wise manage- men of an estate left in a small part to individuals and in a greater part to religious and charitable institutions. In this instance a trust company was named executor. The same organiza- tion which handles large estates makes careful provision for caring for small ones and it is therefore of interest to all people to know what place in the business world is now occupied by trust companies. Man of Broad Vision Mr. Teter is considered particularly well qualified to speak on this subject as he has not only served for many years as the head of the Chicago Trust company but possesses the broader vision of a man who has surveyed the entire country, having just completed a term as president of the Trust com- pany division of the American Bank- ers' association. In addition to his experience in this particular field he has devoted much of his time to other activities. He has won admiration for his successful and public spirited work as president of the Infant Welfare as- sociation and is the director of the Chi- cago Association of Commerce. ~ TO HAVE BAZAAR BOOTH On November 5, a large bazaar will be held in the Crystal ballroom of the Blackstone hotel for the St. Mary's Home for Children at 2822 W. Jackson boulevard. The Woman's Guild of Christ church is very much interested in this bazaar and will have a table there where fancy goods will be sold. There will be dancing in the evening. Richards to Give | Early Sermon at Church Tomorrow The order of morning worship at the Winnetka Congregational church Sun- day, October 18, will be somewhat unusual in character, it was announced this week. The sermon is to come very early in the service so that the Rev. James Austin Richards, pastor, can deliver it before leaving for Washington where he has important duties as a member of the Executive committee of the Commission on Missions of the Con- gregational church. Since this committee must meet be- fore and in preparation for the meet- ing of the National Council of Con- gregational churches, Mr. Richards must take the Capitol Limited at 1 o'clock on Sunday in order to arrive in time for the conferences. Mrs. Richards will accompany the pastor and attend the meetings of the National Council. She will then go to New York for a brief visit with her parents and to Wellesley to spend a day with her daughter, Elizabeth. Mr. Richards returns to Winnetka Octo- ber 29. Music for the morning services at the church tomorrow will be as follows : Violin and organ prelude: "Chant Negre"--Kramer Anthem: church chorus and quartet, "Behold, God is My Salvation""-- Sprague. Offertory: 'The Woods and Every Sweet Smelling Tree" --West Soloists for Sunday, October 18, will be Dan Baker, tenor, and George Smith, baritone. Mountain Boys to Tell of Caney Creek Center Winnetka school children and resi- dents in general will have an _op- portunity to hear all about the work being done at the Caney Creek settle- ment Monday evening, October 19, when four boys from the settlement will speak at the Horace Mann school auditorium at 7:30 o'clock in the eve- ning. Caney Creek is a region in the Kentucky mountain district, in which various north shore organizations be- came interested several years ago. The region at that time, was absolutely without modern culture such as books, medical supplies, schools and the like. The inhabitants were miserably poor and very ignorant. Since that time much has been done. New Trier High school has been sending down large quantities of clothing, books and ar- ticles of furniture, and a settlement known as Caney Creek has been es- tablished. The inhabitants of the re- gion have made great progess through attending this school and it is of this that the boys from Caney Creek will speak Monday evening. AT CLUB RECEPTION Many Winnetkans attended the opening reception of the Charlotte Cushman Club of Chicago, held last Thursday, October 8, at the club house, 2826 S. Michigan avenue, Chicago. This was the former home of Mrs. Charles Kohl and is a fine, large old home which will accommodate 21 guests. The club is a home for stage women. Mrs. Jcseph Lang is president and Mrs. Francis M. Coyne is superintendent of the clubhouse. There will be another reception and house warming later in the season, it was announced. LJ C. of C. to Hear Chicago Business Leader October 19 The next meeting, Monday evening, October 19, will be an open meeting for the Winnetka Chamber of Com- merce. It is to be held at the Cam- munity House, and all business men | and women, as well as their-employes, | are invited. Benjamin F. Bills, of Chicago, has been secured to speak. His subject will be "How to make your point." Mr. Bills is at the head of the Bills Realty company, Inc., and also the Bills Financial Service. He was formerly a member of the faculty of the Uni- versity of Chicagq law school, was assistant secretary of the Continental and Commercial Bank, and vice-presi- dent of the American Bond and Mort- gage company. He has given -numer- ous lectures around Chicago, and his appearance is regarded as very for- tunate for the chamber. A short business meeting will follow the evening's program. Woman's Society to Give South American Program of Interest On Wednesday, October 21, the world friendship department of the Woman's society offers a very strik- ing program. In addition to a group of songs by Mrs. John Marshall, whom evervone enjoys, Miss Bernice Miller of Montevideo, Uruguay, South America, will give an address on "The Twentieth Century South American Woman." Most of us are so little ac- quainted with conditions mm South American states that this is a rare op- portunity. Miss. Miller will discuss such subjects as: "What does the Church stand for in South America?" "How Is the Forward Looking South American Attempting to Solve his Na- tional Problems"? "What Can be Done To Bring About A Better Understand- ing between North and South Amer- ica?" "What Is the Political Status of the South American Woman?" Everyone interested is invited to be on hand at 10 o'clock in the morning for the address, and to remain for the luncheon at 12:15 and the sewing fol- lowing. Winnetkans are asked to "remember the day, the hour, the luncheon." Solicit for Children's Charities Here Monday Monday, October 19, will be a tag day in Winnetka for the Children's Charities of Chicago. A score or more of local women will appear on the prin- cipal business streets and at railway stations to solicit funds for this note- worthy cause. The Chicago Children's Benefit league maintains 50 charitable institu- tions for children. The objective of their drive Monday has been set at $150,000. Last year the generous people of the county gave more than $106,000 and it is felt that they will meet the increased sum this year. Because of un- employment and other reasons the ex- pense of maintaining these institutions will be greater this year than it has been in the past. The 5000 women who will sell the tags have donated their time to the cause. There is not one paid employe in the drive. 1 | ONE DEAD, TWO HURT IN SUNDAY COLLISION Automobile and] North Shore Train Crash at Greenleaf and Eighth Street, Wilmette One girl is dead and a girl and a boy are seriously injured as a result of. a collision between an automobile and a North Shore line car at Eighth street and Greenleaf avenue, Wilmette, early last Sunday morning. The dead girl is Mavme Franco, 16 vears old, 480 Rosewood avenue, Winnetka, and the injured are Edna, 18 years old, her sister, and Joseph Flynn, 968 Spruce street, also of Winnetka. The driver of the car, who was only slightly in- jured was Paul Runnfeldt, 1037 Spruce street, Winnetka. The accident occurred about 2:20 o'clock in the morning as the young people were returning from a party. They were driving north on "Eighth street in Runnfeldt's Ford sedan. They had nearly cleared the car tracks when they were struck by the electric car which threw the sedan for some dis- tance and ripped off the top. Driver Escapes Injury Runnfeldt received a cut on the forehead and other minor cuts and bruises. Flynn was hurled from the car and is suffering from concussion of the brain. He was still unconscious. early Thursday morning. Mayme Fran- co was fatally injured and died about two hours after the crash at the Evan- ston hospital where she had been taken. Her sister, Edna, was cut and bruised and was thought to have suffered in- ternal injuries. She will recover. The noise of the crash awoke resi- dents in the neighborhood and brought several persons to the scene. None of the occupants of the sedan were able to tell how the accident had occurred. They were taken to the Evanston hospital by the police and a passing motorist whose name was not learned. Air Brakes Damaged The electric car was brought to a stop in front of 826 Greenleaf avenue, a considerable distance from the corner. This gave rise to reports that it had been traveling at a high rate of speed, but this was later denied by officials of the company after an in- vestigation had been made by them. They asserted that when the crash: came the air pipe at the front of the car was severed, thus automatically applying the brakes to their fullest ex- tent and locking the wheels. It was said that this caused the wheels to skid on the rails which were "greasy" from the dampness at that hour in the morning, rather than gripping the rails as they would have done had it been possible to apply the air in the customary manner. "An inquest was held at Scott's un- dertaking rooms at 1022 Davis street, Evanston, Tuesday, but was continued until November 12, so that survivors of the accident who are now in the hospital may be present to give their testimony. Funeral services for Mayme Franco were held Wednesday afternoon from the home. The Rev. James Austin Richards of the Win- netka Congregational church officiated and burial was at Memorial Park.
