WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1922 The Public Forum March 1st, 1922. To Winnetka Property Owners: The preservation of Winnetka's trees, both on private and public prop- erty, is a matter which should be of deep interest, not only to the Village authorities, but to every property owner whose home is made more beautiful and attractive by the pres- ence of trees. A survey of the entire village re- cently made by the Village Forester, Mr. Thomas J. Lynch, has revealed a really serious condition due to the presence of oyster shell scale, cottony maple scale and tussock moth. This menace can only be removed by the general spraying of all infected trees in the community. After a careful consideration of a report to the Vil- lage Manager by the Village Forester, supported by an independent investi- gation by the Department of Agricul- ture of the State of Illinois, we are convinced that the condition warrants an official statement by the Village Council, through the Committee of Streets, Drainage and Forestry, and we, the undersigned members of such Committee, desire to endorse the ac- tion of the Village Forester in urging property owners to properly protect their trees. This work has been com- mended also by the Village Improve- ment Association. A list of licensed firms competent to handle tree spraying can be ob- tained on application to the Village Office. The Village Forester will in- spect the trees of any property owner, and will furnish information relative to spraying, without charge. The co-operation of a large number of property owners has been secured in this work, but the proper protec- tion cannot be obtained unless spray- ing of trees on private property can be made general throughout the vil- lage. There is no disposition on the part of the Village authorities to force property owners to protect their trees, but it is desired to impress upon our citizens that the welfare of our trees is in danger, and that proper pre- ventive measures can be taken at very small expense. It is hoped that this public state- ment of the position of the Council in this matter may result in a general co-operative movement to combat the tree pests which have caused the loss of many valuable trees in other com- munities.

The program was provided by the famous Apollo quartet, a group of singers who have recently been se- cured for Radio-concert work. The class, which had its inception about three months ago, has grown in membership from less than twelve men to a present roll approaching the 100 mark. It is the aim of the class officers to bring the membership up to 300 within a few months.
