October 17, 1925 WINNETKA TALK =3 SUMMON PARENTS TO INSPECT NEW TRIER Fathers and Mothers of Fresh- men and Sophomore Students to Attend Classes October 23 A meeting of the New Trier High school Parent-Teacher association, scheduled for October 16, has been postponed to October 23, due to a conflict in dates. The meeting of October 23 is for parents of freshmen and sophomore students. They will be invited to at- tend the class sessions that day, which are scheduled to begin at 2 o'clock and continue to 8:30, and to be fol- lowed by a .general meeting in the Assembly hall. In a letter relating to the October 23 meeting, directed to the parents by Superintendent Frederick E. Clerk writes in part: Need Parents' Help "The program for this year's work at New Trier High school will be in- complete without your presence at this school, October 23 during most of the school session. The parents of Freshmen and Sophomores are urged to visit the school during the entire sesiosn or as much of it as possible, especially the late afternoon and eve- ning classes. "We particularly want the parents of our younger students to visit the classes where students are studying or reciting and to eat supper with them at our cafeteria. We have put in an extra supply of our regular student lunch assortment. You can get any- thing from a sandwich to a complete meal. Your son or daughter will sup- ply you with a program card and members of the Junior class will es- cort you to the classrooms. "This is an important occasion for you and for the school. Unless you have been in a large high school some- time during the past 10 years you are going to receive a surprise. "Don't fail to be present, October 23. We need you and your child needs both of us." Law Becomes More Strict for Canines in Village Owners of dogs in the village may find their pets subject to further re- strictions if an ordinance which was introduced at the meeting of the Village council last Tuesday is passed. The new ordinance prohibits the running at large. of dogs on school grounds, in public buildings or parks or in other places where there are public meetings or outdoor gatherings. Under the present provisions of the or- dinance any violations of these re- strictions may result in the 'impound- ing of the canine until the sum of $5 is paid by the owner to redeem it. The ordinance likewise provides that any dog proven to be dangerous by having a record of biting some person may be impounded and killed if found running at large. The first part of the ordinance was the result of com- plaints from schools in the village where dogs create much disturbance and constitute a public nuisance when running at large on the school grunds, it is said. BRIDGE TO BENEFIT HOME The Windsor chapter of the Daugh- ters of the British Empire will give an attractive card party for the benefit of the British Old People's home at the Glencoe Masonic hall on the after- noon of Wednesday, October 28, at 2 o'clock. There will be an entrance prize of a Thanksgiving turkey Mrs. Samuel Goss, Sr., of Glencoe, chapter regent, is in charge of the sale of tickets which also may be procured from any member of the chapter. 'STUDY MEN AND BIBLE Sunday Morning Men's Class Dis- cusses Harry Emerson Fosdick's Great Book on the Bible. Men and the Bible. These are the two things occupying the attention of the Winnetka Men's Sunday Morning class this season as determined by vote of the class at its first session October 4. "Harry Emerson Fosdick, the great interpreter of the deepest religious life to the present age, is the author being studied," writes a member of the class. "His recent book, "The Modern Use of the Bible, is all that could be desired as a help in such a field. "His clear running style has no sug- gestion of the scholastic. It is as pop- ular as the dispatches from King Tut's tomb or the Scopes trial. Yet his fresh, vivid appreciation of the beauty and the power of the old book which is still the world's best seller bring us back to it with a new curiosity and interest. "A good many men rather cheer- fully admit that their reading of the Bible is by proxy through their wives. Others cherish a copy tenderly in lavender with grandmothers's wedding lace and father's gold watch fob. But Fosdick brings it off its dusty shelf and makes it gripping and impelling in the midst of the airplane and radio which tend to fill our imagination. "And how the grand old book does stand out! Made self consistent by the newer interpretation, freed from embarrassments at one time imagined from the new science, archeology and history, it has the same power as of old to reach the human heart in its deep experiences of life and without asking the modern man to compromise in the slightest degree his sincerity or in- telligence. "In the Men's Sunday Morning class more than one man has found a camaraderie of honest intelligent in- quiry and discussion on matters reli- gious that has been very exhilerating to him. All men are welcome 9:30 Sunday morning at Community House." Says Villagers Spend $1,500 on Carelessness "Winnetka spends $1,500 a year fighting careless fires," says a poster which was distributed by Chief G. M. Houren, at the fire prevention display on exhibit at the Community House this week during the two days when "open house" was observed. Chief Houren is stressing fire pre- vention education, as he believes that unless this subject is kept constantly before the people the fire department is not doing its full duty. Various safety hints printed on the poster are as follows: Don't burn rubbish after dark. Use only safety matches that must be struck on the box. Notify the department before burning grass in vacant lots. Don't burn rubbish without the use of a container. Chief Houren has other plans for fire pre- vention education. Women Voters to Give : Card Party Next Month The Winnetka League of Women Voters announces a card party to be held at the Woman's club Thursday, 'November 12, the primary purpose of which will be to raise the necessary funds to carry on the work of the league in the community. Such an attractive party is being planned, it is said, that no one will want to stay away. There are to be prizes for every table and delightful refreshments. . Mrs. Isaac Rothschild is the chairman of the committee in charge of arrange- ments for the card party. She will be assisted by Mesdames Francis Lackner, A. Montague, Ferry, Percival Hunter, John VanderVries, Herman Beardslee, and Frank Crawford. Plan $20,000 Store Block on East Side of Lincoln Avenue Building in Winnetka took a spurt in the early part of October as evi- denced by permits issued recently at the Village hall. Construction was started on a block of six stores build- ings at 563-71 Lincoln avenue this week. The building, which will be one story high, will be of brick construction and is expected to cost in the neigh- borhood of $20,000. William H. Morris of Chicago is the owner and the build- ers are Rosenberger, Peterson and Leaf, of Chicago. A permit was issued this week to N. I. Howard to erect a new strucolite residence at 715 Sher- idan road, with attached garage. The cost will be $35,000, and the architects are Dena and Dean. Donald Morrison is building a frame home on Scott ave- nue which will cost $10,000. W. F. Murphy is building a frame and brick veneer residence on Tower road to cost $10,000 and Samuel W. McCaulley has received permit for a brick residence at 844 Sunset road to cost $15,000. Numerous permits for garages, addi- tions and alterations have been issued. Hairdressers Set Uniform Price on Work for Milady Uniform prices on all manner of ap- plications from lemon rinse to per- manent waves will be in effect in ali north shore beauty parlors, after Oc- tober 15, it was announced this week by the Master Hairdressers' Associa- tion of Illinois, Edwin Strauss, secre- tary and business manager. Virtually, if not all the beauty shops in New Trier township are affiliated with the association and will thus observe the new price list. The price list indicates no material advance in the myriad items prescribed for milady's beautification but insures uniformity of cost in all the shops affiliated with the association. One does note, however, that the business, though it may have plenty of downs, most assuredly enjoys its ups. In many instances the ominous "and up" desig- nation appears after the recorded prices. Included in the up list are henna dyes, peroxide bleaches, Egyp- tian henna pack, golden glint, French round curl, bleach facial, mud pack, hot oil, water waving, permanent wav- ing or--what have you?

"OPEN HOUSE" HAILED AS SPLENDID SUCCESS Community House Thronged With Visitors During Annual Inspection This Week Usefulness and happiness radiated from the busy atmosphere of Commu- nity House Wednesday and Thursday evenings, October 14 and 15, when "Open House" was kept there for the whole village, and the Winnetka resi- dents were invited to come and see this center of action. There was an ele- ment of friendliness in the air which was felt as soon as the visitors entered the building. Groups of "hostesses," members of the staff, and the Board of Governors were on hand to extend a welcome to visitors and to escort them around to the different rooms, where they could look in on the dif- ferent groups who were conducting their usual activities. ~~ Hundreds of people were about the halls making themselves acquainted with the work of the House.

A typical Ro- tary program was put on presided over by the chairman, Dr. J. E. Fonda. Dr. J. W. F. "Chief" Davies was toast- master, and very happily introduced the speakers, Frederick E. Clerk, Earl Weinstock, and Dr. James A. Richards. Play Charms Audience * The dinner was followed by the charming little play, "Fourteen" staged by the Community Drama club, with Mrs. Harry P. Clarke, Katherine Wortley and Charles Eastman in the cast. Mrs. John Marshall directed the production and Mrs. Davies Lazear had charge of the properties.
