Gl A EE ES lg SR li A cans Lk : 5 ; WINNETKA TALK April 9, 1927 Kenilworth Boys Look Forward to Camp in Canada Early indications point to a general migration of Kenilworth boys to camp this summer, according to Robert W. Townley, director of recreation for the village and at the Joseph Sears school. The spring weather provided by Mother Nature during the past few days, has caused an increased interest in the proposition and a number of the boys have already signed up. Mr. Townley, who has been asso- | r ciated with boys' camps for more than twenty years and who has been in charge of boys' work in Kenilworth for the last five years, is to be in charge of the junior division of the camp at Owakonze, Ontario, Canada, this summer. As a result, local boys signing up for that camp will be under the supervision of the man with whom they have been associated during the school period and who for that reason knows them best. The location of the camp, it is said, offers an ideal place for a practical application of Scouting and the ad- vancement of the boys along those lines. Explorations, nature study and field craft will be emphasized, accord- ing to Mr. Townley, and, as the camp is situated in a section of the country seldom visited in the past fifty years, nature in its natural form may be studied. i Mrs. Dain Fuller of 182 Forest ave- | nue, who has spent the winter at the home of Mrs. Charles Fuller of 97 Indian Hill road, will return to her own home in about two weeks.

Through the streets of Boston groups of men and women made their way to the public telephone stations,anxiously inquiring whether the long distance lines to New York were still in service.

In the 100 yard dash for men, Mc- Fadzean now holds the world's record with a time of 12 4-5 seconds. He was also a member of the Zeta Psi frat- ernity relay team which captured first place in this event. McFadzean is a Freshman at Illinois. He is 20 years old. His parents re- side at 932 Cherry street, Winnetka. The new roller skating champion is a graduate of New Trier High school, where he also gained distinction in athletics. He was a member of the soccer team during his four years in high school, being captain of his team one year. He was also a member of the regular heavyweight basketball team during the last two years in high school. He is taking a four-year course in athletic coaching at Illinois, and while he had not previously demonstrated unusual skill on rollors, he is an all- round athlete, and now it is evident that as a champ roller skater, "he is nothing else but."

Terre Haute, Indiana, wanted to share its opportunity with others, so Station WIBJ was temporarily rigged up to send out Mr. Hieatt's talk on "Why a woman's heart is happiest in a home of her own," given on March 17 at 7:30. Mr. Hieatt compared American and European homes and showed how the American woman has a wider oppor- tunity to have a home of her own and a more livable one. Telegrams of congratulation were re- ceived by the new station from the - radio audience. DEATH TAKES MOTHER Mrs. E. S.
