LOGAL BOYS HAPPY AT CAMP RODSEVELT Two Winnetka Youths Enroll at Great Boys' Camp Near LaPorte GET REAL TRAINING Radio Station, Rifle Range Popular Armnong the six hundred boys in en- campment at Camp Roosevelt, Major F. L. Beals' unique boy-building insti- tution now located near LaPorte, Indiana are: Archie Quirnbach of 934 Elm street, Winnetka, and Walter Edward Quinby of 1282 Asbury avenue, Hubbard Woods. Walter is a member of Company "E" of the R. O. T. C. battalion, while Archie is in the Junior Camp. Both boys are enjoying life at the camp immensely, and the proving themselves to be very worthy. Reports from their company com- manders are highly flattering. Large Radio Station Real training is well under way. The camp has the largest radio station in northern Indiana. Classes are held daily, and a number of boys are keenly enjoying the course. The rifle range is as popular as ever, There are two, the long and short range, and all boys in camp are working hard to win their marksman- ship and sharpshooter medals award- ed by the W. J. R. C. Personal Supervision Major Beals is himself in close personal touch with each individual boy, and outlines the courses to the best advantage of all in camp. "Of our four camps, this is by far the best," states Major Beals. '"Ample proof of this is seen in the boys themselves. One look at them would convince any parent that they are re- ceiving unlimited benefits from their camping experiences." WINNETKA BOY SWIMS FOR FOX RIVER RECORD Richard Prouty, the twelve-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs, Carlton Prouty, last Friday swam the measured mile and a furlong on the Fox river, start- ing at Ford road and finishing at the North gate of the McHenry Dam. This distance was covered without a stop and without artificial support of any kind. The trip required an hour and six minutes, and the voung man finished in good shape, joining in a baseball game after removing the heavy coat- ing of vaseline in which he made the swim.

GOES SLOW, PINCHED-- DRIVES FAST, DITTO "Pull over to the curb," ordered motorcycle policeman Clement Ley, the Kenilworth guardian. Henry Pe- ters, Chicago, obeyed the command and stopped his panting flivver. "What's the idea?" queried Ley. "I'll tell you, officer," stated Peters. "Five years ago when I was driving through Wilmette, I was arrested for blocking traffic one Sunday afternoon. Now I always go through Wilmette about thirty miles an hour, so they won't have anything on me." "You are not in Wilmette now," re- minded Ley. "But you will be soon, for that is where Judge Mickey holds court." Sure enough, the judge was there and fined Peters $10 and costs for speeding on Sheridan road. "These people are not consistent," muttered Peters, while cranking the same flivver he was arrested in five vears back. Fourteen other drivers appeared in court and paid fines. They were: V, C. Spalding, Lake Forest, $20 and costs; Ralph Ver Haben, Chicago, $10 and costs; J. J. Findy, Chicago, $20 and costs: A. L. Quist, Chicago, $10 and costs; L. A. Carey, Chicago, $10 and costs; E. H. Whitmore, Chicago, W. A. Rosenfield, Chicago, $10 and costs; G. W. Nelson, Chicago, $15 and costs; A. B. Breen, Chicago, $10 and costs; G. R. Ostrowski, Chicago, $10 and costs; R. O. Klenze, Chicago, $10 and costs; Clarence Schulteis, Chicago, $10 and costs; H. B. Page, Chicago, $10 and costs. CORRECTION An item appearing in last week's "Social Activities" section of the Win- netka Talk referred to Mr. and Mrs. Allen Weinstock as engaged in a motor tour to Marietta, Ohio. This was incorrect, as it was Mr. and Mrs. Earl Weinstock who made the tour. i SE \ { oe I, I EEX : Ed A je : : pe 1 --t tk 3H x = IT (SS = Ee #4 io fa ig PL | SE £2 Ti EE - 5 f= ™~ .
