Subscription price $2.00 a year. VOL. XVII, NO. 23 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, AUGUST 11, 1928 PRICE FIVE CENTS BEACH CARNIVAL HERE TOMORROW AFTERNOON Park Board Feature Event Post- | poned From Last Sunday; Relay Cup Swim Feature Unfavérable weather, with a "rough sea," upset plans for the seventh an- nual Winnetka water carnival schedul- ed by the Winnetka Park Board, for Sunday afternoon. The event was postponed until to- morrow, at 3 p.m. It will be held at Lake Front park. The program embraces twenty-three races, including one in which much interest is centered, namely, the Inter- village Relay Championship for the Winnetka Park Board cup, won dur- ing the past two seasons by a Winnet- ka team. Victory this year means permanent possession of the cup by Winnetka. Competing with the strong team which Winnetka will enter, are equally powerful quartets representing Glen- coe and Wilmette. Had the race been held last Sunday, Kenilworth, also would have had a team entered. Ken- ilworth's annual water carnival has been scheduled for tomorrow, and, as a result, those who had contemplated entering the Winnetka relay event will be unable to participate, as the team members will officiate in various ca- pacities in the Kenilworth carnival. Tom Robinson, Official Tom Robinson, swimming coach at Northwestern university, will act as starter and announcer at the Winnet- ka carnival, in which he will be assist- ed by James Allen, beachmaster, and Walter Etzbach, life guard. Attractive medals for first, second, and third places in each event have been provided by the park board. In addition, there will be a competition between swimming relay teams from Glencoe, Wilmette, and Winnetka for the Winnetka Park district cup, which was won bv Winnetka last year and also in 1926. Another victory for Winnetka would entitle the team to permanent possession of the cup. Arrangements are being made to have an adequate number of bleachers on the beach so that all may have comfortable seats.

If possible, it is proposed that this year's tournament will exceed, in every way, the first annual event of this nature, The course is in excellent condition, the attendance this season has been good, and it is hoped every member will keep the foregoing date in mind and join his fellow members in this sort of a "home coming" affair. The members are asked to bring one or nore guests with them. "wl ighteen holes will be played in the forenoon, and, following lunch at the club house, 18 holes will be played in the afternoon. The entrance fee will be $1.50 for each person. A splendid list of prizes for both members and guests is announced.

Hadley, head of the Hadley Correspondence School for the Blind, with offices at 584 Lincoln ave- nue, Winnetka, gave an interesting talk on the early days of the village, at the Winnetka Rotary luncheon, Friday of last week.

This history will probably be ready for. publication in WINNETKA TALK in the near future.

Swimming, boating, and dancing. Thursday, August 16, will be a holi- day in Winnetka. All members of the Chamber of Commerce will close their business places, and will motor with their families and employes to Gage's lake, where a big all-day frolic is to be held. It is to be an old-fashioned picnic for the business men of the vil- lage and their associates, taking the place of the usual Winnetka Day cele- bration of former years. ; Robert Doepel and his committee, consisting of Bert Blow, Vic J. Killian, A. Lee Adams, Herbert Paulson, and August Peters has been busy this week making final arrangements for the outing. The members announced the complete program today. How to Get There Those expecting to go to the picnic will leave Winnetka at 9 o'clock next Thursday morning. No special leaving point has been designated, but the committee has suggested the following routes to Gage's lake. 3 1. Take Milwaukee avenue past Libertyville until you pass the Liberty- ville Community Golf course on the right side of Milwaukee avenue, then turn north on the first gravel road straight through to Gage's lake. 2. Go north to Route 20 in Wau- kegan, then west about seven or eight miles until you come to road marked "Decker's Gage's Lake," then north to the lake. It will probably take an hour and a half to go from Winnetka to thé scene of the picnic. Ball games and a horseshoe tournament are scheduled to begin as soon as the picnickers ar- rive at the lake and will occupy the rest of the morning. Lunch hour has been set for 12 o'clock. Each family has been re- quested to bring its own lunch, al- though refreshments can be purchased at the lake if desired. Afternoon Program Foot races at 2 o'clock will in- augurate the afternoon program at the lake. Following is the schedule of races: 1. Boys and girls, eight years and under --25 yards. Boys, eight to fourteen years--50 yards. Girls, eight to fourteen years--50 vards. Married women--50 yards. Unmazzied Jadies--50_ v2 nma adie rds. (Continued on Page 4) Sok we
