WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1920 TEN PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS WINNETKANS ENJOY ~ THE BIGGEST FOURTH Villagers Crowd Commons In Great Municipal Celebration of Inde- pendence Day; Many Prizes Offered f PROGRAM GREAT SUCCESS Every Event of the Day Carefully Planned and Executed; Commit- tees Commended Winnetka's thirty-third annual Sane Fourth of July celebration was a great success from every viewpoint. Among older residents in the village, who had participated in many Inde- pendence Day celebrations, it was 'declared Monday's program eclipsed every previous Fourth celebration. The Commons where field events were held, band concerts enjoyed and the happy villagers danced in the crowded that at room was evening, was so times standing premium. Arrangement of the Commons by village workers under supervision of Ground committee chairman Walter Gibbon. was particularly effective and met with general satisfaction. Myron E. Adams, general chairman of the Fourth of July committees, and all the committee members are to be ~ congratulated upon the splendid suc- cess of the entire program. Win- netka's Fourth of July was sane, virile, truly American, and Winnet- ka was the only village on the north shore to hold a real patriotic com- munity celebration. Many prizes were distributed to winners of athletic events by the Prize committee of which William P. MacCracken was chairman. Win- ners of the various events were an- nounced as follows: Baseball: Winnetka Triangles de- feated Wilmette A. C. 7 to 6. . Golf: First prize in Flag tourna- ment. J. E.

Miss Florence Pease defeated her sister, Miss Beatrice Pease, both of Kenilworth, in the Women's singles in straight sets 6-1 and 6-1. Chandler played a beautiful game throughout the tourney, never losing more than two games in any one set. The score in the finals was 6-0, 6-2 and 6-2. There was a good entry in both events. Thirty-two competing in the Men's singles and sixteen in the Women's singles. No upsets were recorded. The matches on a whole were close, and an enthusiastic gallery witnessed the entire play. Beautiful weather was a big asset to the enjoyment and the matches were run off according to schedule. Saturday completed the first round, with the second and third on Sunday, and the semi-finals and finals on Monday. : Undoubtedly the. year will be a strenuous one for Skokie tennis players, and some hard matches can be wittnessed almost every week-end. An effort is being made to have some nationally known players at the club on Sunday, July 18, but definite announcement will be made later. The next scheduled tournament be- gins Saturday, July 31, in Men's and Women's doubles." This tournament is open to members, including asso- ciates over 13 years of age, and each entrant is entitled to invite one non- club member to compete. A large entry is looked for, with some of the among the players. Entries should be mailed to the club before Wednes- day, July 28, giving partners name. Contestants must report Saturday afternoon for the first round or be defaulted. Situation in Village Council Members Show Protesting Citizens How Matters Stand At the Lake Front iA The Village Council Tuesday even- ing outlined for inquiring citizens the so-called bathing beach situation in the village. Protests over the fact that owners of property abutting on the lake front had requested the public be denied the use of the beach at those places and be confined to the public beaches provided by the explanation. The foot®of Willow street has de- veloped the principle point of con- | tention, it is said, due, primarily, to | the fact that the private grounds at | that point have hecome congested with bathers who apparently are averse to the use of the public beaches. While bathers have been permitted the use of these private grounds for several years the owners declare the congestion so great this year as to make it necessary to call a halt. Winnetka now has two large and splendid public bathing beaches and it is the opinion of Council members that these beaches provide ample room for all villagers. The new Elder Lane park beach has been placed in excellent condi- tion by the Park Board, it is ex- plained, with assurance that a large bathhouse will be erected next season. In a few words, the village is cer- tain there is adequate property along the lake front for public use and | the comfort and protection of the bathers. There is no protection af- forded at the private beaches and no facilities for the comfort of the Seyenty vard dash, eirls 12 to 15, Flynn and son, 3. J. MacFadzean and inclusive: Helen Deily, 2.

Although the high cost of building operations have temporarily tabled all plans for improvement on the clubhouse of the Evanston lodge, the expansion program will again be brought up when the time warrants. Lack of seating space and a large 'and ever-increasing membership have made an addition to the lodge hall imperative and at a February meet- ing the lodge instructed the building committee to draw un and report on sever~! plans with this aim in view. At an early March meeting the plans were presented to the members. Two Plans Presented Two plans were presented, one contemplating a rectangular two- story addition to the south of the present building and the other a continuation of the present building in the form of a square two-story ad- dition to the south. The second plan was approved. This plan provides an addition, 35 hy 35 feet to the present lodge hall, doubling the floor space and seating capacity. The first floor will be a solarium to be added to the lodge hall and used for lodge work and enter- tainment purposes. It is estimated that this addition will allow the seat- ing of 200 and in case of a dance would accommodate 60 or 70 couples. To Be Billiard Room The upper floor of the addition is to be turned into a billiard room with accommodations for six tables. The present billard room is to be turned into a card room and other slight changes are contemplated in the upper floor. In addition to this, the lodge plans the installation of a complete new | ventilating system and heating plant. The estimated cost of the entire work was set by the committee at $15,000. Several new plans, modifications of this have been suggested by the com- mittee. Among north shore men listed among the members of the Evanston Lodge are: Richard E. Bruns, B. W. Blow, Horace D. Barker, F. D. Buckman, H. M. Bachman, Homer G. Cazel, E. A. Dannemarck, R. R. Day, Henry Fowler, Henry B. Gates, Harry W. Hopp, Harvey M. Hopp, Lawrence J. Hayes, K. E. Hellstrom, Henry F.

At a meeting of the workers in the West Elm Street School Fund campaign Thursday even- ing it became apparent that many prospective "big givers" in the village had not been ap- proached by the solicitors. It is probable that many res- idents in the village have been overlooked in the campaign for funds. In view of this fact the leaders in the Fund campaign issue a special notice through the Weekly Talk asking all Winnetkans who desire to assist in the campaign and who have not been approached to communicate with one of the Zone leaders who are listed as follows : 3 : Zone 1, William E. Davis; Zone 2, Charles F. Byron; Zone 3. Sherman Goble and F. G. J . Frederick Dickinson; one 6, Sebastian Hinton; Zone | tion will be conducted Park Board Provides Seats for Ball Fans Authorizes Use of Village Grand Stand and Provided Public Score Board on Lot Winnetka baseball fans are to be provided with real, honest to good- ness seats at the Playfield diamond in the future by reason of successful negotiation conducted by business manager S. S. Otis and E. J. Benz of the Triangle club. Arrangements have been completed with the result that the Winnetka Park Board has authorized the use of village grand- stands for the games. The Park Board has also authorized the erec- tion of a public score board at the Plaviield lot. : Winnetka goes to Highwood Sun- day. The team leaves the Elm street siztion of the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee Electric station at 1:47 c'clock. The game is called at 3 ¢cleck. Winnetka fans are urged to z:tend the game in a body and to accompany the team to the Highwood diamond. Winnetka handed Glencoe their initial defeat ot the season Sunday on the local field. The locals copped the pastime in a thrilling ninth in- ning rally when, with the count 9 to 5 against them, they rallied there forces and walked away with a final score of 10 to G, On Mondav the Triangles broke even with Wilmette in a pair of alleged ball games. The locals won 'i+ morning afair here 7 to 6 and drooped the matinee at Wilmette 8 to 2. Because of the lack of amateur association arbiters both games were featured by rowdyism that renders the contests unworthy of further comment. Community House Boys Are Regular Campers Report Wonderful Time At Michigan Camp; Girls Ready To Go To Camp on July 15 Twentv-five Winnetka boys are having the time of their lives at the Winnetka Community house camp in Michigan. The boys left for the camp on June 28 and report wonder- ful times, plenty of water sports, fishing and 'everthing. Under the supervision of Commun- ity House Director J. W. F. Davies, assisted by Arthur Barrett the bovs, in addition to their play, are receiv- ing instruction in first aid, and are constructing a small bridge under the personal direction of Mr. Barrett. David Lasier and Guilford Windes left for the camp this week to assist in the activities. ; The boys will return to Winnetka on July 15 thus completing a two weeks' sojourn at the camp. On that day Mrs. E. W. Wortley will conduct thirty girls of the vil- lage to the camp. Four counselors will be engaged at the camp for the girls. Miss Emily Matz, Miss Gris- wold of Madison, Wis, Miss Lena Moede, assistant in first aid work at 'he Henrotin hospital, and Mr- Wortley. The boys at the camp are being weight and measured. The report comes back to the village that man of them are underweight.
