8 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1921 / RE RR EE a a \ INDIAN HILL ASSN MEETING NOVEMBER 7 Citizens in Southeast Winnetka Plan to Consider Important Community Questions Mon- day Evening Many NEW OFFICERS IN CHARGE Committee Memberships to be Nam- ed; Business Session Followed by Social Hour and Dancing The Indian Hill Improvement as- sociation will renew its fall activities at its second meeting of the season, to be held at the New Trier high school, Monday evening, November 7, at 8 o'clock. The recently elected officers will assume their duties and membership of the various committees will be an- nounced. Walter E. Shoemaker was elected President of the association at the last meeting for the forthcom- ing year, W. R. English, vice presi- dent, and F. M. Root, secretary and treasurer. Boost Park Project The association was very success- ful in its efforts last year in develop- ing ways and means of improving the southeast section of Winnetka. Per- haps the most important of its activ- ities was the sponsoring of a station park opposite the Indian Hill sta- tion. This park now appears to be an assured fact and that it is, is largely due to the active efforts of the Indian Hill Improvement association in back- ing up the movement. A number of other matters of importance will come before the association for its consid- eration during the new season, and the officers are endeavoring to list the full co-operation of all residents in the Indian Hill district. At the coming meeting, the social side will not be neglected. As has heretofore been the policy, some of the neighborhood talent will be called upon to assist in making the evening enjoyable, and refreshments and dan- cing will follow the business session. LEGION TO PLANT MEMORIAL TREES HERE ARMISTICE DAY Motion pictures depicting battle scenes of the World War will pro- vide the principal entertainment for the Winnetka Post of the American legion Friday evening, November 11, when the post members meet in Com- munity House for a special dinner Celebration of Armistice Day. Under direction of Legion Comman- der Snell the post members will plant memorial trees on Armistice Day on Waukegan Road north of Willow street. The trees have been donated by Thomas J. Lynch, village forester, and a member of the local post, and George Thomas of the Chicago Land- scape company. REALTY TRANSFERS Hill and Stone, Winnetka realtors, this week announced recent proper- ty transfer including vacant proper- ty on Walnut avenue between Elm and Oak streets, adjoining the Dick residence, purchased by Morris Leigh, who will build a home on the site. Another transfer is the purchase of vacant property on Walden Road by W. W. Geary, of Carson, Pirie and Scott, adjoining property n which Mr. Geary is now building an attractive residence. BOOK PAYS TRIBUTE T0 LIEUT. NC CORDIC Wilson G. Crosby Honors Winnetka War Hero; Book Brings Letters of Praise to Aviator's Par- ents By J. W. F. Davies A beautiful tribute to Lieut. Fletch- er Ladd McCordic, one of Winnetka's boys, has recently been published by Wilson G. Crosby. It is an unusually fine piece of work. The mechanical get-up of the book is without criti- cism, and the insight into the life of a boy who was unusually "so quiet" is a surprise to those who knew him only casually. Through his letters and more through the letters which came into the hands of his father and mo- ther after his death, one begins to realize what a wonderful, strong character Fletcher was. Not only was he spoken of as the best pilot in the squadron, with apparently no jealousy on the part of any of his fellow officers or men, but he was al- so a strong moral character. He raised the moral standard of the group he was with no matter whether officers or men. Continual reference is made to him as a most lovable, good natured man and admiration ex- pressed for his flying ability and his eagerness to undertake any task no matter how hard or dangerous.- $ Book at Library Upon request Mr. McCordic is plac- ing a copy of this book in the Win- netka Public Library and it will strengthen any ones faith in men to read through this unusual tribute which is bringing to Mr. and Mrs. McCordic some of the most wonder- ful letters that it is possible for any one to receive regarding their boy. As the commanding officer of the 88th Aero Squadron said in a letter to Mr. McCordic, "Had he, single- handed, put the entire German army to rout I am perfectly certain that he would have returned to the air- drome and written in the squadron log, 'Nothing to report'." "I think none of us can look back on 'The General' (as Fletcher was called) without a feeling of reverence and awe. Brave to the point of fear- lessness, loyal, devoted, unselfish, cheerful, efficient, and modest to the utmost limit, he was the Bayard of 9 the 88th, 'sans peur et sans reproche'. Not without pride can a Winnetkan hear these words of one of her sons. CORRECTION A report in last week's issue of the Winnetka Talk announcing the sale of the Richard W. Walsh home at 1170 Scott avenue, to Marlowe Mer- rick, was incorrect. The Talk was in- correctly informed in the matter by a local realty dealer. "DROP IN NIGHT" Last Friday night a pleasant com- pany spent the evening at the home of Rev. and Mrs. James Austin Rich- ards, at their first "Drop In Night." They hope to announce a number of other "Drop In Nights", evenings when anybody may call with the as- surance of finding them in. BANKS CLOSED NOV. 11 The Winnetka State Bank and the Winnetka Trust and Savings Bank will be closed all day Friday, Nevem- ber 11, in observance of Armistice Day.

XX SHOW FILM OF GREAT BIBLE STORY SUNDAY "Out of the 'House of Bondage'", Visualizing of Exodus, Shows Tomorrow at Winnet- ka Community House Story This Sunday evening at 8 o'clock in the gymnasium of Community House a motion picture entitled "Out of the House of Bondage" will be shown. "Out of the House of Bondage" is a Bible story told in a modern way; its theme, the vital and vivid one of the Exodus," says the magazine Vis- ual Education. "Few producers real- ize that in the great stories if the Bi- ble there is dramatic material, infi- nite in its possibilities of variety and appeal. What figure could be more spectacular, for instance, than the one that looms through the dusk of antiquity as the rescuer of an op- pressed people, the preserver of a na- tion's identity? Every moment of the life of Moses is dramatic from the time he was cradled on the waters of the Nile to the hour he died alone, within sight of the promised land. From the courts of Pharoah to the burning sands of Midian, from the lowly home in Israel to an immortal place in history--there is indeed ma- terial for drama! "The picture is cmprehensive as to action and accurate in detail. The character of the events is such as to invite melodrama, but the tempta- tion is avoided and the treatment is most delicate and reserved. The set- tings are carefully planned and the producer has made the atmosphere of ancient Egypt very real. The types are well selected, especially that of the Jewish mother. "A picture like this is a valuable addition to the meager supply of Bib- lical films. It does more than mere- ly tell a story--it maintains a feel- ing of delicacy and reverence for the events it pictures." Everybody is cordially invited. No admission will be charged but a col- lection will be taken to help defray the expenses. CHURCH FEDERATION LEADEP Judge Charles M. Thomson, 576 Ash street, was this week elected a vice president of the Chicago Church Federation at its annual meeting in the Morrison hotel. Fourteen of the Christian communions in Chicago and vicinity are included in the federa- tion. Subscribe To Your Local Paper COMMUNITY HOUSE CALENDAR WEEK OF NOVEMBER 7, 1921 Monday.
