16 * WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1920 WINNETKA, DO NOT FORGET DR. BROWN Winnetka Relief Worker Battles With Adverse Conditions in Ser- bia; Funds Are Nearly De- pleted While scores of Winnetkans are enjoying the cool breezes, right here in the village, at some luxurious watering place or northwoods cott- age, one of our citizens ,a woman at that, is sacrificing convenience, the pleasures of life and, even her health, working among the sick and destitute women and children of war-ruined Serbia. Dr. Alice Barlow-Brown is not far- ing well in Serbia. In the midst of a dreadful diphtheria epidemic she is suffering severe infection of the nose and throat. Yet, in disregard of her personal difficulties, she is ministering constantly to the needs of hundreds of deathly ill and half- starved Serbian mothers and babies, at Pristina, Serbia. With all this misery, too, there is a sad scarcity of funds essential to carry on this humanitarian work among the destitute southeastern Europeans. Dr. Brown, who is con- ducting this great relief project un- der direct auspices of Winnetka citizens, is experiencing difficulty because some perfectly well-meaning and altogether sympathetic Winnet- kans are thinking too much of va- cations and too little of their solemn resolve to assist materially in this splendid rehabilitation service to Serbia. Mail Checks to Mrs. Greeley Mrs. Morris L. Greeley, 655 Maple avenue, is chairman of the American Medical Women's Hospital associa- tion, from which Dr. Brown receives funds for her work. Funds for this work are to be directed to Mrs. Greeley. Recently Mrs. Greeley posted let- ters to many Winnetka housewives, asking the donation of sums equal to one-tenth of their monthly gro- cery bills for each of the next three months. Response came from ap- proximately one-fourth of these com- munications. "I considered it a very poor show- ing for Winnetka women," Mrs. Greeley told a representative of the Weekly Talk. "We must provide funds and, provide them without de- lay, if Dr. Brown's work is to meet with success; if the destitute, and starving Serbian mothers and little ones are to be saved." So, 'while you are having a good rest and enjoying to the fullest your surcease from daily toil, spare a thought for Dr. Brown and her ex- cellent service. Dr. Brown is not complaining for she is a brave woman and a real soldier. Mail a check to Mrs. Morris L. Greeley, 655 Maple avenue, today. Don't forget Win- netka's reputation. PRIZE ATTRACTS ATTENTION The Cleola Console phonograph, offered as a prize at the New Trier Day outing at Gross Point Grove, is attracting much attention at its dis- play in the lobby of the Winnetka Trust and Savings Bank. The phono- graph is donated by the Lake Shore Electric company and is maunfac- tured by the Barker-Whitelaw com- pany of Wilmette.

An exhibition run with the pump- ing apparatus was made to the village commons. on the Fourth of July, as a part of the Independence Day exercises. Rubbish Dump Work by the Public Works De- partment in removing the unsightly rubbish dump of the village west of Willow street is progressing rapidly, and it is hoped by the end of the month to have this property placed in a neat and orderly condition. In order to provide additional space to take care of the accumulation, five lots were purchased from Peter Conrad just south of the village shovel the surface black dirt was property and by means of the steam excavated and sold at a price suffi- cient to offset the cost of the prop- erty. Gas Rates The final hearing in the case of the North Shore Gas company be- fore the Public Utilities Commission for an increase of rates has been set for September 10. The village council operation of the other municipalities is endeavoring to secure the co- served by the gas company for the purpose of opposing energetically the proposed increase. Mr. E. W.

The facts in the case are these: Just prior to the accident young Wilbern and other caddies were standing near the concrete club driveway when, upon the approach of the Rockhold car, Wilbern and another boy attempted to cross the driveway in the path af the machine. His companion succeeded but Wil- bern was unavoidably struck by the car, although Mrs. Rockhold brought the machine to a complete stop with- in a few feet. "In order to make a story of this accident," Mr. Rockhold says, "the Herald and Examiner of August 13 and 14, added to it several sensation- al, features which were entirely without foundation in fact. It is not true that Mrs. Rockhold drove away leaving the injured boy without aid. On the contrary, she got out of the car, and was the first person to reach him. She helped carry him into the caddy house. She offered to take him to the hospital in her machine. She drove to the Evans- ton hospital and directed that surgical attention be given promptly. Mrs. Rockhold remained with the boy until his parents arrived." The Wilbern boy was reported not seriously injured. It is expected he will leave the hospital within a few days. WILMETTE BUSINESS BLOCK IS PURCHASED BY F. A. ROCKHOLD One of the most important Wil- mette real estate transfers in recent years is the announcement of the purchase of the Cox building and site by Frank A. Roclkhold, 1014 Elmwood avenue, Wilmette. Mr. Cox, former owner, is a resident of Texas at the present time. The deal was closed this week. The Cox building is situated at the northeast corner of Wilmette and Central avenues, in the very heart of the Wilmette business section.

There as num- erous office spaces on the second floor of the structure. Farly in March the Cox building was visited by fire which partially destroved the interior of the Wil- mette pharmacy. The building has since heen completely renovated. Mr. Rockhold, the new owner, also owns the vacant property on the southeast corner of Wilmette and Central avenues. Plans are to be an- nounced later, it is said, for the im- prcvement of this large plot © of ground.
