WINNETKA WEEKLY - TALK, FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1917 |} ROVUPLLLLVLLVVILVT ddl Ll & NEW TRIER FRESHMEN SWIMMING MARVELS @ & @ HE Freshmen class that entered 7 in any High School in the Wes New Trier High Schoo! last Septem- ber has among its members four of the fastest swimmers to be found t. Three of the quartet swam on the Wilmette Grammar School championship team and were members of the 160-yard relay squad that made the] 1:46 4-5, still standing. National Grammar School record of The other member, Spear Knebel, came from Boston, Mass., and entered! New Trier with but slight knowledge naturally, however, and was soon si Wallace Reid, Spear Knebel, Under thorough and energetic coach of swimming. He took to the water ngled out as a swimmer of promise. Jack Robbins, Kenneth Kerr ing he has developed into one of the best of New Trier's water dogs and now holds two Amateur Athletic Fed- eration Junior records--22 3-5 second onds in the 40-yard back stroke. s in the 40-yard swim and 284-5 sec- Knebel also holds the honor of being the highest individual point swimmer participating in the Junior A. A. F. cham- pionships, with a total of ten points, making two firsts and setting a new record in each. Spear holds alse the Western Junior High School records in these two events besides being a member of the Junior Relay Freshman team that holds the National Junior rec- ord of 1:304-5 for 160 yards. In ad- dition he is a member of the six- man 240-yard relay team that set the mark at 2:09 and of the ten-man 400- yard team, holding the title with 3:50, both National High School rec- ords for distance. Coach Hvatt of New Trier ob- tained for Knebel an athletic mem- bership in the Illinois Athletic Club, the organization that numbers among its membership the cham- pion swimmers of the National Ath- letic Association Union, and he oc- casionally practices in the same pool with Hebner, McGillivray, McDer- mott, Handy and other world cham- pions. Knebel is also a student of exceptional quality and stands at the head of his class with almost a com- plete record of A's. He is represent- ative of the highest type of young manhood. Jack 'Robbins has won so many ribbons and medals that he has lost track of them. The son of an ath- lete, he was fortunate in getting an early start. From the age of 10 years he has been in all available competitions for boys of anywhere near his age. During the Summer he has garnered the lion's share at all sports, while away at camp, and for several seasons has won the 'Evanston Y. M. C. A. medal for the best Junior swimmer. Robbins specializes on the crawl stroke, but is able to hold his own in other events. He also has been given an athletic membership at the Illinois Athletic Club and Coach Bacharach predicts for him a bright future as a swimmer. His crawl stroke is almost an exact copy of Perry McGillivray's and swimming critics all agree that he has the best form of any young High School swimmer in the district. Robbins is the same age as Knebel---14 years. Kenneth Kerr and Wallace Weld are the two remaining members of the quartet. Kenneth learned to swim without assistance when 10 years old in a small lake in Indiana. He has captared a number of rib- bons and prizes at Y. M. C. A. meets, specializing in the back stroke and holding his own at the crawl. Ken- neth is also a real student and be- lieves his studies are the main rea- son for his presence at New Trier. He will be heard from in the aquatic world unless the prediction of his coach hits a snag. Wallace Weld, a brother of Roger Weld, former captain of the New Trier swimming team and one time suburban breast stroke champion, bids fair to eclipse the reputation of Roger as a swimmer. He holds the Junior Suburban High School record in the 40-yard swim with time of 224-5; has been in all the relay events and helped to make numerous Interscholastic records. He is an erratic swimmer, showing occasional bursts of speed that lkeep his team- mates guessing. These four boys do not smoke, as many boys do, but are clean cut ex- amples of what clean living and earnest endeavor will accomplish. They will no doubt furnish New Trier with another Interscholastic cham- pion team next year and again in their Junior and Senior "years. VISITING NURSE SERVICE ESTABLISHED IN COUNTY The Board of Cook County Com- missioners have established a County Visiting Nurse service for the bene- fit of the territory in Cook County outside of Chicago. Co-operating with these nurses are over sixty physicians in the small towns and rural sections. It is hoped that ev- ery community, school! directors, teachers and citizens generally will use this bureau to its fullest extent. The nurses may be reached by telephone over Franklin 3000, Local 76, or by letter addressed to room 1130, County Building. Miss Harriet Fulmer, R. N. for- merly in charge of the Chicago Vis- iting Nurse Association, is super- visor of the nursing service. =a EE WILL JOIN TRAINING CAMP John Clark Baker of 347 Hill Street, Wilmette, who holds a cap- tain's commission in the Officers' Reserve Corps, will go to Ford Sher- idan, May 1, to enter the training camp for officers established at that post. Mr. Baker is an enthusiastic advocate of preparedness and a firm believer in every man "doing his bit." J EE EN Read All the Newspaper. TIMELY SUGGESTIONS FOR FIRE PREVENTION Be positive that all your flues are absolutely safe. Put ashes in metal containers only. Never permit gaso- line to be used indoors in open ves- sels and never fill gasoline stoves while lighted or with a light or flame near. Don't leave a fire in a fire- place or grate unattended. Know that your electric wiring is in safe condition each year. Teach the chil- dren the danger of matches, and then keep matches out of their reach. Get the habit of using safety matches. Remember that stoves need protection underneath and in or sweeping compounds or oily mops front of walls. Don't allow oily rags to lie around. Don't let trash and waste paper accumulate in the house. Then use uncommon common sense all the time and you may never have a fire. HE EOE NEW REAL ESTATE FIRM H. D. Hill and Mrs. E. R. Stone, who have been the Wilmette repre- sentatives of Ballard, Rowe & Whit- man, real estate brokers, have pur- chased the interests of their firm in Wilmette and will continue in busi- ness at their new location, 404 Lin- den Avenue, under the name of Hill & Stone. EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD ENLIST TO BATTLE FLIES Disease Carrying Insects Must Be Killed Off as Protection to the Family, Home and Village. Every man, woman and child in our community should begin at once fighting our common enemy, the common fly. Flies are the filthiest and deadliest of all insects. They breed in filth, feed on filth and distribute filth-- the filthiest kind of filth. From a privy vault, a garbage can, a decaying animal, a consumptive's | spittoon or other filthy thing they go direct to your dining table and wipe] their filthy feet on your food. When you eat that food you eat disease-| laden filth. Flies distribute disease and death. Typhoid fever, tuberculosis, infantile paralysis, diarrheal ' diseases and other "catching" sicknesses are spread by fles. Kill the flies or they may kill you. | The best way to swat flies is to swat their breeding places. Do it early. To Prevent Flies. Keep stable manure in tightly closed pits. Sprinkle ordinary borax over manure, one-half pound to each six bushels of manure, or sprinkle freely with sulphate of iron solution, two pounds to each gallon of water. Also sprinkle this around pits, in crevices and under barn floors if pos- sible. Keep privy screened. Sprinkle borax or kerosene over contents of vault, daily. Bury or burn all ani- mal or vegetable matter before de- composition begins. Permit no dirt 2ccumulations anywhere. NO DIRT--NO FLIES. One stable in which a horse is kept will supply house flies for an entire neighborhood, unless the manure is properly cared for. Kill Flies Now. Now is the essential time to kill the few flies which have hibernated, as each pair beginning to breed now may produce billions of descendants during the Summer, provided they can find suitable filth in which to hatch and raise the maggots. If every resident would keep his premises so free from filth that flies could find no breeding places, then there. would he no flies. We can be just as free from flies during August and September as we are at the present time, if we choose to do so. This is no mere theory or untried experiment, as this freedom from flies is accomplished in many communities, especially in some for- eign countries where screening against flies and mosquitoes is un- necessary and unknown. Kill flies as fast as they appear. Use swat- ters, sticky papers, poisons and traps. C. C. "SCHNEIDER, M. D, Commissioner of Health for Win- netka. EE NEN FORD CAR COLLIDES WITH PAINT WAGON: 5 HURT S. F. Burden of Evanston and Four Men Bruised and Cut--Auto and Driver Receive Minor Injuries. S. F. Burden, a painter of Evans- ton, and four men narrowly escaped serious injury when the wagon in which they were riding was struck tate last Thursday afternoon by a speeding Ford machine at Linden Avenue and Fifth Street, Wilmette. The wagon was hurled bottomside- up on the parkway and the men thrown to the street, receiving a number of bruises and .cuts. Clar- ence Bruner was the most severely injured of the five, having several ugly cuts about the head and being so badly bruised that he could not stand erect. The machine and its driver received minor injuries. The machine, according to Burden, bore down upon them on the wrong side of the street, coming along Lin- den Avenue. To avoid a collision, Burden attempted to drive straight ahead on Fifth Street, but the wagon was struck before he could drive out of the way. WILMETTE MAN EXPECTS CALL TO COLORS DAILY J. G. Barber, Expert Auto Driver and Mechanician, Has Offer of Services to U. S. Accepted. J. G. Barber of 621 Linden Avenue, Wilmette, expects to be called soon into the service of Uncle Sam. Mr. Barber is one of the licensed drivers and mechanicians of the American Automobile Association, all of whom have volunteered for war service.
