Re SEL Th TR. TART a ar _-- November 26, 1927 WINNETKA TALK INVITE CITIZENS T0 HEARING ON "FLATS" Plats and Zoning Committee of Council Would Hear Views on Apartment Expansion An informal public hearing will be held by the committee on plats and zoning of the village council and the zoning commission of Winnetka, Tues- day evening, Novmber 29, at 8 o'clock, in the council chamber of the village hall, to afford the people of Winnetka an opportunity to state their views regarding their regulations governing apartments. Attorney Max Murdock, represent- ing the Illinois State association of Real Estate boards, with a delegation of Winnetka members from the North Shore Real Estate board, it is said will be present to participate in this discus- sion, and all those interestd in any way, in the apartment situation, are urged to attend so that the Council committee and the commission may have the benefit of their advice on the Village's policy in this connection. In the course of the last year parti- cularly, there has been a decided in- crease in the number of combined store and apartment buildings built or pro- jected in Winnetka. Such buildings, under the Zoning ordinance, are re- stricted to the district designated as "C" Commercial. Under the Zoning ordinance an apartment is defined as "A Household unit in an apartment house, or, above the first floor, in a building used in part for commercial purposes and suit- able occupancy by one or more per- sons." Another restricton is that "buildings used partly_ for residential purposes shall not accommodate or make provision for more than seventy- two (72) families per acre of land, nor make provision for more than a pro- portional number of families on a frac- tional part of any acre of land." It has been suggested that possibly some change in this intensity of use of land should be made. New Trier Girls Push Red Cross Roll Call The Red Cross drive which has started in the villages has been pro- gressing for more than a week at New Trier High school. The drive is in the hands of the Charity committee of the Girls' club. The members of this committee take subscriptions through the township and also at school. This is one of the many worthy causes in which New Trier students take a wholehearted interest. The commit- tee, under the capable chairmanship of Elizabeth Kelly, has obtained many subscriptions and is expecting to have many more so that when Miss Kelly turns in her report she will be justly proud of her school. The members of the charity committee are: seniors-- Jane Ashman, Adelia Barroll, Jane Philbrick, Nellie Louise Weil; --Margaret Gordon, Ruth Shepard, Mable Throckmorton; sophomores-- Gloria Harrington, Jean Forrest; feshmen-r Elizabeth Ketcham, Frances utz.

The course includes six lectures em- bracing the following topics: history of Camp Fire, symbolism, handcraft, Camp Fire music, system of honors, ranks, out-of-door program, group activities, nature and first aid, leader- ship. Although the first lecture was given last Monday, it was announced that credit will be given for five out of the six lectures. The next lecture will be given Monday, November 28, at 2:30 o'clock, in the Camp Fire rooms of the Winnetka Community House, and meetings will take place the follow- ing Thursday and Monday afternoons for the five lectures.

The last lecture will be in the form of a Council Fire and those who have creditably passed will be given certificates and admitted to this cere- monial. Dancer to Again Entertain Indian Hill Association The Indian Hill Improvement asso- ciation has a real treat to offer those who attend the next meeting, Monday, November 28, at the New Trier High school. Marjoire Hartless, premier dans- euse, made such a hit at the last meet- ing ,and so many favorable comments were made, that there was only one thing to do and that was, to have her come again. She will be prepared this time, it is said, to do even more specialties than she did at the last meeting. E. J. Flannery, chairman of the en- tertainment committee who is arrang- ing these interesting programs, will be on hand with Irving Christian to han- dle the entertainment features and to do many specialties of their own. Another of the features will be a novelty musical act, by Myron Chou, former University of Michigan opera star. Mr. Chou will introduce two of his original numbers, "Uplift of the Saxaphone" and "Two Old Flute Play- ers." The business meeting will start promptly at 8:15, at which time impor- tant matters will be brought up. The discussion of skating and track eleva- tion will be on the program, and re- quests are made for suggestions for improvements that will better the neighborhood. his will be the last meeting of 1927. The officers feel that nothing can be important enough to keep numbers away. There will not be another meet- ing of the association until January 30 1928. Music for dancing will be by Dehm- low; refreshments a la Allen. TO SPEND WINTER IN WEST Mr. and Mrs. John O.

Coaches and members of the teams of the North Shore Country Day school, New Trier High® school, Skokie school and the Black and White team were feted in real festal manner and took part in the program of songs, stunts and speeches which followed the dinner. Opening with the giving of thanks by Rev. Thomas A. Goodwin, the din- ner and program "from soup to nuts" was one of the most successful ever held and was attended by one of the largest groups of a like nature ever gathered at the community center. Im- mediately after the clearing away of the dishes after the last course of the meal, the various coaches were intro- duced to the boys and fathers. This was followed by four five-minute talks given by students from the North Shore Country Day school and the Skokie school and by "Chick" Markley of New Trier and Ernest Belmont of the Black and Whites. Feature addresses were made by Coaches Jack Anderson of the Coun- try Day school, Harrv P. Clark of Skokie, and Walter Aschenbach of New Trier, each speaking on a subject connected with his particular institu- tion. Bob Dopel addressed the group for the Rotary club and the dinner was closed with the singing of the Rotary song. Unimmunized or Unmuzzled Dogs Now Being Impounded Owners of dogs in Winnetka are again reminded of the communication by President Henry F. Tenney sent out last week in connection with the plans of the village to combat another threatened outbreak of a rabies epi- demic. President Tenney says, "It is not our desire to act arbitrarily in this matter, and I therefore request your co-opera- tion in complying at once with Village regulations, by either haviag your dog confined to your premises, immunized or securely muzzled. "After November 25, it will be neces- sary for the police department to impound all dogs running at large, without either an immunization tag or a secure muzzle." REAL ESTATE!

TONY SARG'S PUPPETS COMING TO WINNETKA Celebrated "Troupe" to Present Revue at Skokie Auditorium December 8 The most elaborate extravaganza ever seen on any miniature stage is promised by Tony Sarg's company of marionettes when they present their puppet revue at the Elm street school, Highland Park, the afternoon and eve- ning of December 6, and at the Skokie school auditorium, Winnetka, the after- noon and evening of December 8. The puppets will open a Chicago engagement at the Goodman theater, Chicago, Saturday, December 3, with "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," and will perform in Evans- ton, at the Woman's club, December 9. In casting about for an entertain- ment that would show his troupe of animated dolls to the best advantage, Mr. Sarg, caricaturist and puppet king, hit on a unique idea. This is embodied in a marionette's dream, a pot-pourri or grand revue of the successes of past years, all strung together in a con- nected production. The parting of the curtain will re- veal the King George Inn where one will meet Rip Van Winkle and his faithful dog. The scene then changes to the Catskills where, amid ghosts and goblins in the dwarves' treasure cave, Rip falls asleep. The transition to the land of Don Quixote where the gallant knight, mounted on Rosinante, tilts with wind- mills, follows logically in the marion- ette's dream, nor does it seem at all incongruous to be hoisting the Jolly Roger later and sailing away with Jim Hawkins, Capt. Flint, peg-legged John Silver and the private crew to Skeleton Island and adventureland. The extravaganza ends with a puppet version of Grimm's familiar fairy tale, "The Three Wishes." Rotarians to Be Guests at New Trier December 1 The Wilmette and Winnetka Rotary clubs are to enjoy a dinner and en- tertainment at New Trier High school Thursday evening. December 1. Din- ner will be served in the Mess hall which was the scene of the formal or- ganization of the Winnetka club three years ago. Following the dinner there is to be a demonstration by the physical education department of the school. Next Thursday's joint meeting of the clubs will supplant the regular club luncheons of the current week. Super- intendent Frederick E. Clerk of the high school, who is a member of the Winnetka club, and R. L. F. Biese- meier, head of the technical department at New Trier, a member of the Wil- mette club, are to be hosts to the Ro- tarians that evening. Accidents? Not a One in Past Ten Days Say Police Up to noon Wednesday, ten days had elapsed since the Winnetka Police de- partment had received 4 £oport of an automobile accident in the village, it was announced by Foes Harry C. Enault, who, however, took a good rap at his desk as he said it. "We are not boasting," said Sergeant Enault, "but we are proud of the rec- ord, and it only goes to show that au- tomobile accidents may be avoided in most cases, if only a little precaution on the part of the drivers is observed. Mrs. Clarence Burpee, 815 Linden avenue, Wilmette, will eatertain the north shore group of Women of Rot- ary next Wednesday at luncheon and bridge at her home.
