WINNETKA "TALK November 17, 1928 News of the North Shore Clubs Nelson L. Greene to Talk on "Movies" Woman's Club Opens Meeting November 20 for Lecture on "Movies and the Home" The civics and philanthropy com- mittee of which Mrs. Gross Williams is chairman, announces that Nelson L. Greene will be the speaker at the reg- ular meeting of the Winnetka Wom- an's club, Tuesday, November 20. Mr. Greene will speak on "Movies and the Home," a subject which should make a great appeal to every family with children interested in the movies. Mr. Greene was an instructor in Princeton and Brown universities for nearly fifteen years, leaving that work to go to France and serve under the French army during the World war. It was at this time that he became in- terested, more or less by accident, in the vast possibilities of motion pic- tures in education work. After his return to this country he gave up teaching to go into the "visual field." Since 1919 Mr. Greene has edited magazines devoted to the subject of educational pictures and as the work 5 has grown the importance of its has become more evident. Obviously the motion picture is an enormous factor in the field of education and the the- atrical film even more than the non- theatrical one deserves study and con- sideration because of its close bearing on the conduct and lives of our young people. Since 1922 Mr. Greene has been the editor of "The Educational Screen," the only magazine in the country devoted exclusively to this subject. Because this subject has been of especially vital interest to all parents for several years past, the meeting on Tuesday is to be an open meeting to which all members of the community, both friends and those who are yet strangers, are most cordially invited. Last of Homemaking Talks Given in Winnetka Nov. 21 (Contributed) The last of the very interesting course of lectures upon the Art of Homemaking offered by the art and literature committees of the Winn- etka Woman's club will be given Wed- nesday morning, November 21, at 10 o'clock. The lecture will be given in the club rooms by Professor Mary Koll Heiner of the home economics depart- ment of the University of Chicago. With the advent of the automobile, life suddenly became most complex, and some one was inspired to help that generation through a book upon "How to Live on Twenty-four Hours a Day." The problems of that yesterday now seem but child's play as compared with the speed of today, and we welcome gladly an opportunity to learn how to be more efficient in the organization of our daily programs. Professor Heiner will talk upon the "Organization of Our time." TO BROADCAST Miss Miriam Brubaker, director of the junior kindergarten in the children's school, National Kindergarten and Ele- mentary college, will speak on "What We Should Expect of the Pre-School Child in the way of Abilities and Hab- its," over WMAQ, the Chicago Daily News broadcasting station, on Monday afternoon, November 19, at 4:30. At Woman's Club BY M. L. For most women, financial manage- ment is confined to the simple field of housekeeping, but for so many, there comes a time when the greater re- sponsibilities of financing a family, de- termining investments, providing a fu- ture, must be borne alone and then without adequate training, the burden is found exceedingly heavy. In the past ten years that burden has been heavier than ever because of the com- plexity of our taxes which effect in- vestments in such diverse ways. With this in mind it was deemed of inestimable value to include in the general course on homemaking, offered by the art and literature and the ed- ucation committees of the Winnetka Woman's club, one lecture on the man- agement of finances. Wednesday morning, November 14, therefore, Mrs. James Fentress, who is chairman of the education committee, presented to the class, A. B. Hussander of the Illi- nois Merchants Trust company who gave a most enlightening talk on trust service and explained how a woman's nancial burdens may be lightened and how safe provision may be made for the future. Although there has been trust serv- ice for practically a hundred years, it has been only five years since that helpful agency developed into the use- fulness we now recognize today. Now, that service not only enables a man to relieve his widow and children of financial responsibilities, but also he may relieve himself of as much care as he chooses, through what is termed "living trusts." Before explaining the various types of trust service to be found, Mr. Hus- sander first spoke of the advisability of wills. He defined the offices of ex- ecutor, administrator, and trustee, and then advanced to an explanation of the "trust under will," the "trust. by agree- ment," "insurance trust," and "custo- dianship service." Each of these vari- ous forms of trust service is meeting the peculiar needs of estates, estates of those who have gone and estates of the living, meeting their problems with the sincere earnest study, conservative policy, and efficiency of a group of trained advisors. Under such -direc- tion, investments and incomes are safely guarded from indiscreet, im- provident individuals and their safety is assured. Winnetka Woman Named District Garden Chairman To Mrs. Edgar Foster Alden of Win- netka, who has been identified with club and garden activity for a number of years, comes another honor. She just has been appointed district chairman of gardens for the First district, Illinois Federation of Women's clubs, of Chi- cago. Mrs. Alden is an ardent gardener and has put a great deal of personal interest and care into her own charming and ex- tensive gardens at 352 Linden street, for which she has raised all of her own plants, For five years she has been chairman of the garden department of the Illinois Women's Athletic club, said to be the largest club in the world, and even with her new duties she will continue in that capacity, Tenth District Clubs Participate in Memorable Day The clubs of the Tenth district en- joyed a splendid day Wednesday, No- vember 7, with their hostess club, the Woman's Civic club of Ravinia, at the delightful new Village House. The meeting opened at 10 in the morning with Mrs, Harry S. Gradle, president of the Tenth district, presid- ing. In the absence of the president of the hostess club, Mrs. Arthur Ruff, the vice-president, extended greetings to the district which were followed by a gracious response from Mrs. Gradle. Mrs. Henry Mason stressed the Arm- istice day services to be held in various communities, and a delicious luncheon was served at 12:30 o'clock by mem- bers of the club. Mrs. William Collins, vice-president of the district, presided at the after- noon session. The musical program deserves the highest possible praise. It embodied all the beauty, quality, and charm befitting a program devoted to the art of music. Mrs. Walter I. Vance, director of the Highland Park Music club chorale, has a beautifully trained voice of nat- ural lyric quality and has been most successful in training and directing this group. The "Woodland Vignettes," by Bere- nice Bentley added great charm to the afternoon. These are to be published soon. Her compositions are filled with unique originality and inspire her list- eners to a deeper love of nature. The speaker of the afternoon, Mrs, J. Marc Fowler, state president of the Illinois Federation of Women's clubs, gave an interesting address on "Fed- eration Work," stressing particularly its power for good in the small com- munity. Mrs. Ernest Nolting, recording sec- retary of the Tenth district, gave a very complete and inspiring history of the progress of the Woman's Civic club from its beginning. The day, filled with education, inspir- ation and artistic charm will remain as outstanding in the memory of all who attended.
