WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1922 "" Ask More, that We May Serve Better" - Winnetka Community House has become inadequate to meet the in- creasing demands of village activities. Every resident will be afforded an op- portunity to contribute inf the forthcoming canvass for $95,000, which is to provide for an enlarged community center. Sunday, May 21, is Canvass Day.

SPRING PAGEANT TO BE AT SKOKIE SCHOOL The annual Spring Pageant of the Winnetka Public schools will be given this year during graduation week at the new Skokie school where the graduation exercises will also be held. Plans are being made for the an- nual launching of the boats made in the school shops to take place early in June at the Municipal bathing beach under auspices of the Skokie Yacht club, an organization within the Shopwork department of the schools. The boys are working dil- igently to get the new shops at the Skokie 'school in smooth running order so that the work on the "fleet" may be completed without undue de- lay. In our quest for news it is our habit to call occasionally at the offices of The Hadley Correspondence School for the Blind, to learn how their work is progressing. On April 1 an article concerning the school appeared in the Matilda Zieg- ler Magazine for the Blind, which is published in New York City, and has a wide circulation among the blind. This article has been the means of bringing in more than 125 applica- tions for courses. Some of the appli- cants have asked for one or two courses, others for all the courses of- fered. Pupils are distributed over thirty-eight states, and in Canada and China. On May 1 their numbers had reached 214. Bach day brings increasing evi- dence of the necessity of the work which the school is undertaking, as well as expressions of gratitude from those who are enrolled for courses, for the opportunity which has been afforded them.

The first intention was to provide for 400 seats only and this was increased to 600, only at the urgent representation of a number of the groups planning to use this building. It is felt that a hall of this size will find very frequent use for purposes for which a larger hall wuold not be suitable. Mr. Davies hac already scheduled engagements per year for this building, as a minimum. The following list of activities would find a place in this assembly hall: Motion pictures, Community Drama club, North Shore Players, North Shore Theatre Guild, Choir entertain- ments, Scout entertainments, Camp Fire Girls. entertainments, North FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST, SCIENTIST, GLENCOE, ILLINOIS Announces A Lecture on Christian Science by JUDGE SAMUEL W.

Enlargement Long Deferred In making the appeal for new funds for building purpcses at this time, the Board of Governors feels keenly the fact that the Village has had placed before it numerous appeals for worthy causes, and would have preferred to choose another occasion to make this new request. The fact is, however, that Community House has been op- erating to somewhat more than ca- pacity for several years past. During the war period and the ones which fol- lowed. Community House has stood aside and allcwed other projects, which seemed more imperative, to have the right of way. The reason for not deferring the campaign any longer is that the urgency for addi- tional quarters has grown so great that the Governors feel that work dition, so that the increased facilities may be available by the first of Oc- tober when the active season at the House begins. Campaign Dinner May 15 Community House will be the host to a large group cf its friends on the evening of May 15 when the needs of the situation will be presented, and an opportunity given for inspecting the Hecuse ant its equipment. A special program will be put on to show what has been done in the past eleven years, and the possibilities of further development with the increased plant. must be begun this summer on the ad-! 000000000000 00080000000000000000000000000000000004004¢ TYYY IY III IXIIXXXIIXIXXXXIXXXXXXIXZZ IXXIXITXIIXIXIXIXIXIXIXX XX FRE Delivery 4 times daily by Merchants Delivery Plus High Grade Fruits and Vegetables and a Full Line of Groceries at very reasonable prices FRUITS AND VEGETABLES Oranges, d0Z ....s+svsminsrsnonsrracrsesns suns 40c to 70c Asparagus, bunch ........ iii 20c Radishes Bunch 20, Loa S000 Wh fois ve aeleid waa dele .10c I ONALOCE, TD rte tos + risialsis a sine wn Sis niis Sai gbls 2s ion Sie iniuiece's 20c Strawberries, box 18C, 2 for. .....
