WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1919 Episcopal Churches of Annual $500,000 Church Work Fund North Shore Boost wv Announcement that the annual] Randolph street, Chicago. sum of $500,000 for the next three Rescue work among girls and wom- years is to be spent in Chicago | en under the charge of the Sisters of diocese by the Episcopalian church, has been received with interest by church and social service workers of the Village. The official quota just made public by Bishop Charles P. Anderson, reveals a budget which covers development and extension of social service, new missions, charit- able work and religious education. Fifteen separate projects are to be financed by the campaign in this "diocese. An original feature in community service which is expected to cost approximately $100,000 will be a community house in the nature of a "social clinic" in connection with the Western Theological Seminary at 2720 Washington Boulevard, Chi- cago. The full budget as finally approved by the two Bishops, the Diocesan campaign committee and the Dio- cesan Board of Missions includes other social service work such as that in the penal institutions of Cook county, and follow up activities among discharged prisoners. Seven thousand dollars a year for three years is sought for this item. Building projects in both urban and rural missions will take $34,350 a year over the three year period. Addi- tional rural work, specially planned to interest farming communities and small towns will be given $24,000 as its. total' share of the funds to be 'raised. Rescue work among men is to be given new impetus by the erection of St. Mary in the Mission House at 850 Washington boulevard is to be augmented by the erection of a $51,- 000 addition. Additional work among orphan girls is planned on a similar scale, at St. Mary's Home for Child- ren at 2822 Jackson boulevard. Fifty-seven thousand dollars a vear is to be devoted to the follow- ing: support of the Church Home for Aged Persons at Ingleside avenue and Fifty-fourth place; St. Mary's Home for Children; Providence Day Nursery at 3052 Gratten avenue; Girls' Friendly Society Lodge, St. Mary's Mission House, and to the building of a house for the Suffragan Bishop. A part of this fund also will be devoted to the church's share in the upkeep of St. Luke's hospital and Lawrence Hall, the home for boys at 2850 Lawrence avenue. It is also planned to devote $16,- 000 a year to raising the salaries of missionary clergy to a minimum liv- ing standard. Smaller amounts will be 'accorded to additional work among the negroes of the city; ad- ditional clergymen for new fields; trained social workers; additions to staff and equipment in a few parish- es, and support of the Western Theological Seminary. i The intensive drive for total pledg- es of $1,500,000 in the Chicago diocese to be paid up at the rate of $500,000 a year will occupy the week of December 2 to 14) The funds will be divided equally between the diocese a $36,000 building to supplement the work of the Cathedral Shelter of the Episcopal church now at 937 West | the parishes. and general work of the church, out- side the regular annual budgets of D. C. To establish a successful car- rier pigeon system it will be neces- sary to lay plans during the coming winter te have the posts properly located and get the birds acclimated and begin thew training. Flights of 600 miles in a single day have been made, while a distance of 120 to 200 miles meams a two or three hour flight fer the average bird. The distance which would be covered in forest service work are considerably less than this, in most instances the flights from fire fighting areas to headquarters being less than fifty miles. The value of the birds in mountainous regions where travel is difficult would be especially great. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS ESTATE CUT INTO LOTS The need for housing is no longer respecting historic sites--an old es- tate in Quincy, formerly owned by. John Quincy Adams, is to be cut in-' to house lots, thus inaugurating a land development scheme which will call eventually for the construction of about 1,600 houses. This is called the Adams estate development, the property involved having been origin- ally owned by the former president and was sold by a descendant after being in the family for generations. It contains more than 240 acres of land with two miles frontage on Quincy bay, part of Boston harbor, assessed for $267,000. The proposi- tion involves five miles of new streets with the usual accessories. ~The Constitution of the United States requires that a census of the United States be taken every ten years. It is by this means that the apportionment of members of the House. of Representatives is made as to states. An enumeration of the mines and quarries of the United States was made for the first time in 1840. } N N N N N N N RN N N \ N N N N N N N N N N 3 NN N N 3 NC AAAS Ar 1 LL 7 7rd Notice of Election Notice is hereby given that on Saturday, the Sixth day of December, 1919, a special election will be held at the Horace Mann School for the purpose of electing two members of the Board of Education for District No. 36 of Township Number 42, Range 13 East, in Cook County, Illinois.

HAYES, Proprietor NEW TRIER HIGH NOTES «"DUKE'S" SCHEDULE FOR BASKETBALL TAKES FALL After going to all the trouble of composing a preliminary basketball | schedule and getting everyone eX- thinking of the good games cited they'd have at the Childs made a statement this wee to the effect that his schedule is "spurlos versenkt". "Duke" was willing to play all the games and so were his proteges. But it seems that the particular dates handed to each team that was honor- ed by a challenge from "Duke was filled by some other event. Of course 'most of them are willing to battle the New Trier quintets but they find it impossible to fill t schedule. "Duke" k Lake View will not appear »atur-| her games have day evening and no ot been or will be scheduled evening. But games ranged for next Saturday, for the December both 6. which is some consolation bo for "Duke" and the prospective spectators. PROMISING TRACK TEAMS New Trier will have a represent- ative track team this year and at present the outlook is for a strong team wearing the school colors. The heavyweights are crippled at present due to the football games which temporarily disabled some of them. The lightweights and feathers are in good shape, however, and no doubt will show up pretty strong when the big test comniles.

NEW TRIER NATATORS TO SWIM AGAINST DETROIT i New Trier's natators will journey to | Detroit Saturday morning, December 16, and in the evening will compete | against the Detroit Northern High | school swimmers. ls The meet promises to be interest- ing and, as the New Trier boys have not lost a meet for several seasons, prospects are bright for more laurels at the Michigan tank. i The boys who will make the trip | are W. Schmedtgen, W. Weld, R. Low, W. Kerr, H. 'Jones, D. Car- penter. INTRA-MURAL SOCCER The Suburban league football and soccer schedules ended recently but that will not prevent the annual In- tra Mural games which begin Mon- day. Eight teams will compete in the event which will run on the "elimina- tion system". The winning players will each be awarded a gold medal | for their prowess. Says Women Must ; Have an Avocation A plea to the women of the north shore to "attend the movies rather than spend too much time with their children or go to dances rather than be.too much the slaves of their house- holds" was given recently by Miss Helen Bennett, who spoke at the Woman's club of Evanston. Miss Beifinett is manager of the Collegiate Bureau of Occupations, and chose as her topic "Vocations and Avocations." She told the club wom- en that they do not play enough. "Men are far wiser in this matter." she declared. "They know the value of recreation and it does not take them long to join a golf 'club if they see that it is going to do them some good. Women are inclined to be too much bound up in their homes, which are essentially their vocations, sO they should choose something for an avocation. The home 1s man's avocation and his business 1s his vo- cation. "College women do not know how 40 play in great many cases. "Unless they have regular hours of recreation they do not give this .the proper time. "When I began my collegiate bu- reau work six years ago I. thought that the college girls were receiv- ing a very unsatisfactory education. Then I traced the trouble to the high schools, then through the grades to the kindergarten and found the source in the home. "We have not been giving proper attention to the after-school ambi- tions of our boys and girls. Most of the college young women thought they had no time for.play. When I asked them when they play they looked blankly at me. Now they are being taught the value of organ- ized play."
