December wd LLP WINNETKA TALK SKATING RINK FUND AT HALF-WAY MARK Indian Hill Improvement Asso- ciation Renews Appeal; Goal Set at $950 Indian Hill is qo Have its ice skat- ing rink. Any doubt on that score should be dissipated here and now, for the good citizens o f the south section of Win - netka are rally - ing with a will in con- tribut- ing hand- somely to the Ice Rink fund launched a week ago by the Indi- an Hill Im- provement association. Not only have they contributed, but, in scores of instances, the donors have indicated in messages accompanying their subscriptions that they stand ready to dig down deeper in the event a shortage should loom up in the course of the ice skating season. The rink, as last year, is being put in shape at the Triangle park at Wil- son street and Winnetka avenue. The shelter house is up and at this writ- ing it appears the youngsters (no age limit) will be cavorting at the favorite winter pastime within a few days. James M. Brooks, chairman of the Streets and Parks committee of the association, is in general charge. Fine Christmas Gift It has been suggested by officers of the association that a contribution to the ice rink fund would make a fine Christmas gift that would serve to gladden the heart of many a Win- netka boy and girl. The rink is, of course, open to the entire community. Those who would like to add their bit to the fund are invited to make checks payable to H. Hinrichs, treasurer of the Indian Hill associa- tion, whose address is 363 Sunset road, Winnetka. Approximately $400 of the $950 necessary to establish and main- tain the rink has been raised within ten days, according to officers of the association. Subscribers to date are: Anthony Jobst, Mrs. Max McGraw, H. L. Raclin, Edith C. White, Ray- mond J. Darby, T. E. Crawford, O. I.. Moore, C. K. Weeks, M. B. Austin, J. H. Barnes, J. W.

Schedule Train to Take on Air Mail Daily in Village An important change is announced in connection with the mail service on the Chicago and North Western train No. 450, by which all north shore towns from Evanston, north, will have direct connection in the dispatching of air mail. This train, which formerly began taking on air mail at Evanston, is scheduled, beginning December 15, as available for the dispatching of this class of mail from Kenosha, south, including Glencoe, Winnetka, Kenil- worth and Wilmette. The train will leave Kenosha at 4:48 p. m., arriving in Chicago at 6:20 p. m., Postmaster Joseph CC. Braun an- nounces, where connections will be made with both the east-bound and west-bound planes. Mail for dispatching on this train, Postmaster Braun explains, must be in the Winnetka post office by 5 o'clock p.m. There is also promise of another change, designed to give better local service between north shore towns, Postmaster Braun says. The above changes have been brought about through the combined effort of the North Shore and Lake County Postmasters' association, which is recognized as one of the most active bodies of its kind, and which is con- tinually in touch with the Post Office Department at Washington with a view to encouraging the best possible service for the north shore area.

This hearing was before the Win- netka Park board which has been pe- titioned by nearby resident objectors to having an oil filling station there, to convert the corner into a park by spe- cial assessment proceedings. Residents in a large area would be affected by this form of development, it is said, and objection was voiced at the meeting Monday evening, at which time a resolution was adopted provid- ing for a committee to study the mat- ter further. The Pennsylvania Oil company pur- chased this corner some time ago for the purpose of erecting an oil filling station there, since which time various hearings have been held by the village council and the plats and zoning com- mittee, as' a It of objections to the station filed by adjacent en property owners. The company was finally denied permit by the council, as the result of an opinion rendered by Village Attor- ney Frederick Dickinson that the ex- isting zoning ordinance does not spe- cifically permit filling stations in dis- tricts zoned "C Commercial." It is said the Pennsylvania Oil com- pany is proceeding to take the matter into court, for adjudication, the com- pany's contentions being that the zon- ing ordinance is favorable to the pur- pose for which the site in question' was purchased. :
