Two letter-writing contests, one for grown- ups, the other for our children, will be conducted by the Winnetka Improvement Co., who are developing the newest ad- dition to Winnetka's select residence dis- rict adjoining the new Junior high school, WINNETKA MANOR. In the contest for the grown-ups, in- cluding the older children over high school age, letters are invited stating clearly in less than 500 words just why the writer selected and has retained Win- netka as his or her permanent homeplace, in preference to Chicago or some other suburban town. Prizes in the adult class will be $25 for the best letter, $15 for the 2nd best, and for the 3rd, $10. All prizes will be paid in gold. The kiddies, high school age and under will tell in 250 words or less just what advantage they have over children living in Chicago and its other suburbs, in- cluding every point of interest to the children of a prospective Winnetka resi- dent. Each feature should be given in a Separate sentence or paragraph. Win- ners in the children's section will re- ceive $10 for the 1st prize, $5 for 2nd, $2.50 to each of the 6 next best, mak- ing a total of $30 or $80 in gold in both adult and children's divisions. Some of the features which might be covered include the high average of the type of homes, stores, schools, churches, "Community House," bathing beaches, Skokie playfield and golf course, parks, other recreational advantages, the new Junior high school, clean atmosphere, the Winnetka Plan which no other town in Northern Illinois can equal, kind of play--and class-mates and chums our children have, lack of snobbishness and class distinction, no undesirable resi- dents, about our local government, taxes, clubs, societies, etc. Grammar, rhetoric and arrangement will not be taken into consideration in the awarding of prizes by the judges. Each letter should have the writer's name, address and occupation signed plainly at the end, written on one side of the paper only, paper as large as possible. Winners will be announced on Sun- day afternoon, September 10th, at the formal opening of Winnetka Manor, in the firm's offices at the southwest cor- er of Oak St. and Glendale Ave. Mr. M. F.
