SCHEDULE YOUR DATE Community House is Prepared to Help Out in Preventing Conflict of Various Village Activities The importance of scheduling com- munity events in advance in order to avoid possible serious conflict of dates and encroachment of one activity upon another in the matter of attendance, is indicated in the ac- companying letter sent out to every community organization this week by Mrs. E. W. Wortley, assistant to the director of Community House. Mrs. Wortley's letter reads as follows: "Village organizations found it help- ful last year to have Community House record dates of events which different groups were scheduling. In this way conflicts of dates of the events planned were avoided, thus saving disappoint- ment and assuring groups a larger number than would have been pos- sible had there been other things scheduled in the village for the same date. "Community House has again been asked to serve as a clearing house for information along this matter and is willing to undertake it, but it can only be truly effective if each organiza- tion will send in at once its lists of events scheduled and will also keep the office informed of additional dates as they are planned and will consult records in Community House before planning large events. "May we have dates scheduled by your organization at the earliest pos- sible moment? This letter is being sent to all village organizations. Boxing Compulsory and It Puts Stop to Fights Boxing is becoming extremely popu- lar with the boys of the Skokie school. It is now a compulsory sport for every boy in the seventh and eighth grades, forming a part of the regular play- ground activities. Last year it was made an elective course and became so popular, as well as showing such good results, that it was made com- pulsory this year. The course is given in 12 weeks, under the direction of Harry Clarke, director of physical edu- cation. Among other good results from the boxing course, there have been no fights on the school grounds since it has been made compulsory for all boys, it was said. Popular George Dasch, genial and highly talented director of the Symphony Players of Chicago, has won his north shore audiences not alone by his masterly supervision of that group of great musicians, but by the force of his remarkable personality, as well Mr. Dasch is perhaps the most popu- lar musical genius to appear in this vicinity. He comes again next Tues- day to direct his players in afternoon and evening concerts at the New Trier auditorium. Death Summons Wife of Dr. Douglass H. Cornell Alice Davis Cornell, wife of the Rev. Douglas H. Cornell, pastor of the Glencoe Union church, died at her home Wednesday morning of this week, after an illness of only three days. She had been in poor health for some time, but had improved ma- terially during the summer months so that her sudden death was a shock to her many friends. Mrs. Cornell was born in Madison, Wis., in 1880, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Davis. The family moved to Winnetka more than 40 years ago, making their home in Lakeside--now Hubbard Woods--and constituting one of the units of the little group of neighbors who helped. set the standards for our present day community life. Miss Davis was married to Mr. Cornell in 1905. After a pastorate of a few years in Michigan City, Ind. Mr. Cornell was called to the Union church in Glencoe where they have since resided. . Mrs. Cornell was a loyal and un- tiring aid to her husband in the work of the church, and her influenec in the village was far-reaching, particularly with the younger people. She is sur- vived by three daughters, the eilest a sophomore at Northwestern uni~ versity, and a sister, Mrs. Gerald Mahoney. May Set Parking Limit for Business Districts Regulation of parking, in the Win- netka business district is a necessity, according to a report by Village Manager H. L. Woolhiser which was read at the meeting of the council last Tuesday evening. The report stated that the village manager and Chief W. M. Peterson of the police department had made a study of the situation in the business district and recommended that parking be limited to one hour on certain streets. The matter was held over for further con- sideration after some discussion. REALTY BOARD VOTES FOR NEW TAX MEASURE North Shore Dealers Plan Cam- paign of Education to Acquaint Residents With Issue Members of the North Shore Real Estate board met at the Lake Shore tavern on Sheridan road, Wilmette, last Monday evening for their regular monthly dinner and business session, |at which they were treated to a splendid talk by Major Max Murdock, legal expert and executive secretary of the Illinois Association of Real Estate boards, on the subject of the proposed tax amendment to the constitution of the State of Illinois, which will be sub- mitted to the voters at the general election November 3, 1926. The purpose of this measure is to permit the General Assembly to employ methods of taxation other than those now provided by the constitution, which forces real estate at present to pay 85 per cent of the taxes, while constituting only 37.4 per cent of the wealth of the state. Naturally, the board voted to take an active part in educating the property owners of the entire north shore on this subject so vital to all. Name Nominating Body Other business included the ap- pointment of a nominating committee for officers' ticket for the coming year, to report back to the secretary in time to include the ticket in his notice of the December meeting, when voting will take place. Board ac- tivities were discussed for next year in detail, and plans are being formu- lated for a comprehensive array of good speakers on a multitude of sub- jects allied with the realty profession. The set of test questions on various matters connected with the profession gotten up by the National association, will be given to all members of the board, who haven't taken the test and who are present at the December meet- ing. This test is extremely educational and interesting. A vote of thanks was ordered to be sent to the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce for its efforts in behalf of the board and the local real estate men in defeating the proposed license ordinance of Winnetka; also another letter of thanks to the license commit- tee of the Village council for so pa- tiently giving the representatives of the board, ably assisted by Max Mur- dock of the State association, the op- portunity of presenting objections to the ordinance and their resulting action in the council in recommending that the ordinance be dropped.
