Explains School Conditions Attached is a letter from Mrs. Brown directed to Miss Gahan and which explains the uses to which the money contribueted will be put in connection with her humanitarian work. "Belgrade, October 12, 1921, "My dear Miss Gahan: "Last Spring I received from Amy McIntyre one hundred dollars, which was the result of your work with the children for their Christmas cards. "I am writing to ask you if you will try to have them work again this win- ter for the school children of Se'rbia. "lI wanted to use the money in a way that would be the Winnetka school children's part in the up-build- ing of the schools in Serbia. All the schools were destroyed in some man- ner. Some of the schools were en- tirely obliterated. I have been given a district in which to work, which will interest our children ain kome. Tt is in the Vranjska Okrug, or de- partment. "Take the map and find Lescovatz of Tisk, then east from Lescovatz is Blascolinski, near the Bulgarian bor- der. It is here where so many atrocities were perpetrated. Need Aid From America "The school at Conopnitzka is held] in a private house. The peasants are doing all that they can to build but have not the money. They offer their services and give as much as they can--the state has given some--but not adequate to rebuild. So with a little help from America and the chil- dren can bring their three-legged stools on which to sit and study. "In seme places the buildings were not entirely destroyed but all of the equipment was taken. "There is a great desire for schools all over Serbia. Since the war the peasant has realized more than ever the need of his children to read and Thanksgiving Scenes Portrayed by School Children of Seventh and Eighth Grades at Horace Mann School Present Unique Pageant Thanksgiving was celebrated by the children of the seventh and eighth grades of the Horace Mann school in a series of episodes portraying scenes in Pilgrim life.

So far as golf events are concerned this was a wind-up meeting of the season. A [large number of cups and prizes were {awarded including the prizes for the Harvest Home tournament and also the beautiful Rogers cup given to the winner of the tournament in which the sixteen winners and runners-up in the monthly class A and B tour- naments competed. The runner-up in this event was awarded a cleverly designed belt buckle having the name of the winner engraved upon it. The winner of the tournament for the sixteen winners and runners-up in naments also received a belt buckle and the runner-up in this event re- ceived a watch fob with a golf design upon it, ¥.

Tt will perhaps be of interest. in order to show the way in which the Playfield association has expended the money raised hy it from dues. to ive an outline of the prizes and events during the season. Prizes In Profusion On Decoration Day, May 30, a flac merchrandise certificates for $5. $3 tournament was held and three and $2 respectively were presented. Throughout the summer the monthly class tournaments were held, that is. during June, July, August and Sep- tember. There were four classes each month, classes A B C and D. The winners in each class cach month re- ceived a merchandise certificate for 5. The winners and runners-up in classes A and B, sixteen in all, com- peted at the end of the season for the FE. S. Rogers cup. It was rather a strange coincidence this season that there was no duplication among the winners and runners-up in classes A and B so that there were sixteen of them to constitute the flight which, competed for the Rogers cup.Thewin- | | (continued on page eight) POSTPONE ZONING HEARING The final public hearing on zoning for Winnetka, scheduled to be held Wednesday evening, November 30, has been post- | poned to Wednesday evening, || December 7, according to an- || week nouncement made this by the Winnetka Zoning Com- mission. Galloping Equine Affords Modern Village a Thrill Old-timers rubbed their eyes Wed- nesday and returnd to thoughts of yesteryear when they witnessed, right on the broad streets of modern Win- netka, the spectacle of a run-a-way horse, with all the accompanying thrills, including a pair of shafts jerked loose from what was origin- ally a buggy. Carl Hanson, 895 Elm street, was driving a car along Elm street and at Linden street crashed into a horse and buggy driven by Paul Hoffman of Glenview. The force of the impact cut the horse loose from the buggy and he went galloping south in Lin- den street, with shafts attached. In his wild career our galant steed per- petrated some real circus thrills in- cluding a collision with a machine driven by John N. Ott, of Indian Hill, and a car propelled by Lewis Voll- man, 556 Center street. Police eventually coralled the ex- uberant equine. The cars are all in the repair shop and the horse is un- injured.

CALLS CONG'L CHURCH GREAT UNIFYING FORCE Village President Miller Holds Com- munity Church and Community Center Bring Citizens To- gether ECONOMY IS BIG FACTOR Leaders in Movement Argue That Community Church Avoids Need- less Duplications It is apparent that in 'the educa- tional campaign, which is preceding the annual financial canvass of the Winnetka Congregational church, one of the strongest points is proving to be a fact that was not at first pre- sented as particularly important. The church has in past years kept pace with the growth of the village and its status as a community church serv- ing twenty different denominations has been taken for granted. Now, with the pressing problem of room to care for the rapidly increaseing at- tendence at both church services and church school, many are seeing in this year's campaign a test of whether or not Winnetka wishes to continue the community church idea. Compare With Wilmette Attention is called to Wilmette with something more than a thousand greater population but with four churches covering the equivalent field of the Winnetka church. Those who look at the comparison from the standpoint of economy point to what they call unnecessary duplication of buildings and equipment and to a cer- tain extent of the working force, a duplication which does not exist in Winnetka at present. Irom another standpoint is the statement of Major look at the comparison from the pulpit last Sunday, that there are no greater unifying forces in Winnetka than the Congregational church and Community House. "But", say those who believe that in competition may he the advantage of attracting and interesting more peo- ple, "to justify the continuance of a community church idea, effort must be made to reach the whole village, and facilities must be provided to care for larce numbers as they are attracted. If people realize that the church must develop at least as fast as Winnetka itself develops in order to maintain the unique position it holds today, surely they will rally to its support." Would Employ Expert When asked as to the attitude of the Finance committee toward the retention of a communiy church, one of the members said he believed the budeet for 1922, about to be issued, would be a convincing answer. This budget will provide not only for the securing of 151 feet of land fronting on Pine street, adjacent to the church and Community House on the west, but also will contain an appropriation for expert services in planning on how the present building might fit in a development plan. This will make an increase over last year but it is felt that such an increase will be a fair test of the community in- terest in the necessary enlargement of a church that is to retain a com- mnnity position. "There will be some surprises in the budget", the representative of the Finance committee said, "in the fact that the church is able to care for greatly increased demands and: add several desired features without mak- ing the net amount of operating ex- pense greater than last year. The fact of economy in operation will make a strong appeal to business "» AVOIDS DOG--HITS CAR Tndeavoring to avoid striking a German Police dog, the property of H. H. Kennedy, 735 Sheridan road, Benton Miller, driver of an Evans- ton Packing company truck, last Sat- urday crashed his machine into a car driven by R. W. Bartelman, 730 Green Bay road, Glencoe. Both cars were considerably damaged, and the German Police dog is reported still on the run. MAKE NEW TRIER KNOWN New Trier High school's high scholarship makes itself known in the colleges and universities her students atend. Word has just been receiv- ed from Wellesley that Dorothy Schmedtgen and Joy Scheidenhelm are on the honor list of last year's freshmen. They stood at the head of the class of 1919 at New Trier. Marian Montgomery has been chosen freshmen president for this year's class.
