3 WINNETKA TALK November 5, 1927 "VLL TELL THE WORLD * Tell the world you've found the place That puts a smile upon your face. --says Our Guest. You'll tell your friends that you were heartily pleased. After you've enjoyed our pure foods properly cooked you'll tell the world about us. Fine Foods Quick Service CHAMBER'S CAFE 552 Center Street WINNETKA Public Forum Editor, WINNETKA TALK: Twelve months ahead is not too soon to begin cultivating in this community a better spirit for the observance of Hallowe'en. We are probably ahead of many communities and our youth are both intelligent and right-minded. But those who last Monday night placed three large rocks across Rose- wood avenue were guilty of a criminal act. I have no quarrel with them my- self, for although I thought at first that the objects ahead were pieces of pasteboard, I dodged them enough to get nothing but a shaking-up. Nor do I resent the time lost or the effort spent in going back and rolling the stones onto the parkway. But if any- body had been going at a higher speed and had pot succeeded in dodging them there might easily have been a repetition of the recent fatalities at Libertyville. Certainly our boys will need nothing but to have this called to their attention. En --Bikos" North Shore Line Men Speak at Skokie School J. W. Oliver, safety engineer for the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee railroad, spoke before the assembly of the Skokie school yesterday morning upon the subject, "Accident Preven- tion." Mr. Oliver dealt with the causes of accidents involving motor- ists and pedestrians with trains and outlined safety policies that would, if generally adopted, result in a decided decrease in accidents. 3 On Friday of last week, Chester K. Thomas of the same company spoke on "Electrical Railroad Transporta- tion." ICE CREAM Always Delicious--but Just a little bit more delicious and more tasty when it is Smith's homemade ice cream.

Under the direction of eight district captains, about seventy-five men will call on all members of the church in a single afternoon, asking subscrip- tions toward running expenses that now total more than $70,000 a year. This every-member canvass has be- come one of the annual features of the work of this Winnetka church, and has been brought to a high degree of effectiveness in the previous years in which it has been employed. It is expected that the full sum asked, $70,686, will be raised without diffi- culty. List 1928 Budget The budget, as adopted by the church for the current year, is as fol- lows : Salaries Payroll and labor ............ $19,125.00 Annuity insurance (home ministers)". ic... va nn 318.75 Church Maintenance Church school (supplies and transport Only) ~«.. ceo oxi 1,850.00 Music, adult services ........ 7,270.00 Music, children's services .... 195.00 Equipment, renewals, repairs... 1,000.00 Supplies, sundries ........... 250.00 Publicity, printing, postage .. 2,700.00 Fuel, light, telephone ........ 1,600.00 Automobile maintenance ..... 800.00 Fire insurance .i. vei... xe5a 331.82 Special assessments .......... 32.12 Traveling conferences, mis- celaneous "i. fic.

The increase for 1928 is largely repre- sented by two items. Repairs on Com- munity House will necessitate the ex- penditure of an extra $1,000 over the amount usually contributed by the church. And the item appropriating $3.500 for research work on religious educational curriculum is an extra ex- pense, to be met for this coming year only. This fund for curriculum research in a way suggests the difference between church work in Winnetka and in many other communities. There are now about 700 pupils in the church school of the Winnetka Congrega- tional church, taught by 70 volunteer teachers. The best available textbooks in religious education are used, and every effort has been made to hold the school to the standards of the fin- est church schools in the country. But the special curriculum followed in the Winnetka public schools introduces an element here not met in other places. Children in the public schools are given material in some courses -ver\ similar to that in the church school. The consequent overlapping between public school work and church school work is bound to cause a lessening in the pupil's interest. Accordinely, the Winnetka church proposes to bring in a specialist in the formation of school curriculum who, after a year of study of the local situation, will recommend a course of study for the church school which will be in accord with the special needs of this community. Easterburg Is Chairman The financial canvass of the Congre- gational church has, in years past. been under the direction of Merritt [Lum, chairman of the church's finance committee. This vear, in Mr. Lum's absence from the city, the campaign is directed by Carl J. Easterberg of 108% Cherry street. Under Mr. Easterberg there are eight district 'captains: Edgar B. Baumann. 279 Linden avenu-. Harry A. Craig, 592 Provident road: C. M. Thomson, 576 Ash street; Llov Hollister. 1129 Cherry street: A. 7 Bryson, 182 Myrtle street: Sidney F. Bartlett, 711 Sheridan road: Ralph M. Snyder. 1311 Asburv avenne, and James P. Fleming, 760 Foxdale ave- nue. The workers in the canvass held an informal get-together at Com- munity House on Thursday night at which final plans were perfected. Board Eliminates Section in Alley Building Project The board of local improvements Tuesdav evening voted to change the proceedings for the establishment of an alley between Merrill and Scott ave- nues., The alley will serve only two blocks between Merrill and Tower. The action was taken on petition of all owners of business property except the owner of one fifgv foot lot in the block affected, who has agreed not to build on the rear sixteen feet for a period of ten vears. This permits the exten- sion of the alley through this block at any time it is deemed necesasry, with- out the condemnation of expensive buildings. Harriet Macon Presents Program at Skokie School Miss Harriet Mason, formerly a Winnetka girl and a pianist of stellar accomplishment, was featured in a mu- sical program at the Skokie school ar- ranged by Helen Fulton, a pupil in Skokie and chairman of the assembly program committee of the Skokie Mu- sic club. Miss Mason presented sev- eral piano solos. In addition to Miss Mason's part in the program, the Skokie school or- chestra and the Boys' Glee club also rendered several numbers. ON CLUB PROGRAM On the afternoon of October 26, Miss Isabel Cline of Kenilworth, gave a pro- gram with the well known dancer. Miss Ruth Page of Winnetka and Chi- cago, at the Standard club. A group of 'Bandana" songs was given in costume, to the delight of the audience. Gifts Bridge Prizes The 795 ELM STREET Tiny Tots' Wear LLeonard Shoppe RE A
