The Timely Record of Community Events 'INNETKA WEEKLY TALK VOL. XI, NO. 30 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1922 SIXTEEN PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS MUGIG LOVERS WILL HAVE LOCAL GONGER Newly Organized Orche - Association to Bring Symphony to Township FOR CONCERT SERIES Town Chairmen Prepared to Sell Tickets At a meeting of a few represent- active music lovers, prominent club women and business men of the town- ship, held Tuesday evening in the high school library, the organization of the New Trier Township Orchestral association was effected. During the last few years, several things have contributed toward mak- ing it difficult for the large majority of people to attend the Thomas con- certs in Chicago--the, in many cases, prohibitive expense, the scarcity of seats, and always the difficulty of per- suading the tired business man, re- turned home, to go back again te the city in the evening. The purpose of this new undertaking, the Orchestral asdociation, is to give to the people of the community, who care for music, an opportunity to hear good music near home in the form of a series of monthly orchestra concerts which will be given in the evenings at the high school auditorium by the Little Symphony of Chicaga, a group of twenty-five of the finest artists that can be obtained, under the direction of Mr. George Dasch. Can Support Project The township has grown to such an extent within the last few years that it is felt by those interested to be easily capable of supporting its own orchestral association. Music on the popular order, not too "highbrow," is planned. It is hoped, with a slight surplus, to increase the size of the orchestra to forty or possibly even fifty men, thus enlarging the range of composi- tions that can be played. As the con- certs will be given in the high school auditorium, the number of tickets to be sold is limited to between 1,000 and 2,000. The executive committee, as elected at the meeting; is as follows: Chairman, H. B. Mulford of Wil- mette; vice-chairman, Mrs. Marion V. Cotton, supervisor of music at New Trier High school, Kenilworth; sub- chairmen (one from each town) Mrs. Albert N, Page, Wilmette; Mrs. Harry E. Weese, Kenilworth; Mrs. Willough- by Walling, Winnetka; and ~ Mrs. Bruce McLeish, Glencoe. The super- visors of music from the schools of the township are also members of the committee. Tickets may be obtained from the sub-chairmen. The first concert will be given on Tuesday evening, November 14; the second, December 12; the third, Janu- ary 23; and the last, February 20. It is possible that a fifth will be added to the series. Winnetka Legionnaires to Elect New Officers Tuesday Tuesday evening, October 10, is elec- tion time in the ranks of the Win- netka Post, No. 10, of the American Legion. A nominating committee appointed at a recent meeting of the Post, select- ed the following ticket, and suggested that other candidates be nominated from the floor. Nominees selected by the committee include: For Post Commander, IL. Sherman Aldrich. For Vice Commander, Lloyd Hollis- ter. For Adjutant, Grinnell Wylie. For Finance Officer, George McKin- ney. For Sergeant at Arms, Ray Orwig. For Assistant Adjutant, Daniel Noe. Promise Weird Stunts for Friday, October 13, Party A novel stunt party, consisting of fifteen stunts and beginning at 2:13 p. m., Friday, October 13th, is sched- uled for the neighborhood circles of the Congregational church. Each circle is to give a stunt at the party, which is to be held in the Winnetka Community House. FER BONUS TO COPS HO CATCH BURGLARS Henceforth the burglary business, n so far as Winnetka is concerned, is to be even more precarious than has been the case in the past. Every policeman in the Winnetka department is in line for a material reward for the apprehension of crim- inal characters who make burglary their specialty. By a vote of the Village council Tuesday evening of this week the vil- lage has authorized a bonus of $100 to any officer who renders conspicuous service in connection with the appre- hension of criminals involved in bur- glaries in the village. The bonus is to be paid in monthly installments of $10 each. No one policeman is to be given more than 3 awards. The bonus award plan will be in operation until April 1, 1923. TELLS DADS HOW TO TRAIN THE CHILDREN Dr. H. F. Cope, Speaker at Sunday Men's Class Members of the Sunday Morning Men's class of the Congregational church are to receive some sound ad- vice tomorrow morning on the very important matter of "The Father's Part in Child Training." Dr. Henry F. Cope, executive head of the Religious Education association and affiliated with the School of Med- icine at Chicago university, is the speaker and is heralded as a man who knows his subject. Mrs. George W. Mason will sing at Sunday's class session. Leaders of the Men's class are con- ducting an intensive campaign this week, the purpose of which is to reach the '"hubbies" of Winnetka through wives and mothers. Getting the women intérested in the activities and value of the Men's class is cer- tain to result in greatly increased attendance at the Sunday morning session in the opinion of the class officers. A Day at Camp Twelve or fifteen members of the class left Friday evening by automo- bile for a brief encampment at Dr. J. 0. Ely's camp at State Line, Wis- consin. The men were to remain over today. An outing in the Forest Preserve is planned by the Entertainment com- mittee of the class for Saturday, Octo- ber 21. Burton H. Atwood, 839 Elm street, is receiving communications from members who intend to 'take in" this session of joy in the great out-of-doors. The Men's class convenes at 9:30 a. m. in the Neighborhood room at Community House. Every man in Winnetka is urgently invited. Brcher Quits Fire Truck But Bucher Will Drive It W. Bucher, who for the past three years has dirven the Winnetka fire truck to all kinds of fires, resigned his position yesterday because of ill health. His brother, A. Bucher, will take over the position left vacant by the resig- nation. A. Bucher has been a mem- ber of the volunteer fire department for several years. The Buchers live at 640 Hill street.

They gave outward evidence of surprise that architectural devices could pro- duce such thoroughly effective com- binations of beauty and utility in a -commercial edifice. From the outside the building im- presses one not so much as a banking house, but rather as an attractive ex- ample of "Old English" architecture applied to a commercial place. Dignity and Completeness Once inside, however, one senses immediately the dignity of the place, its modernity and completeness of appointment. Planned by a designer of bank structures, the Winnetka State Bank lacks nothing that will care for the requirements of the pat- ron and give general efficiency. From the Women's room, done in conservative gold, to the furthermost corner of the basement, the knowing hand of an expert is devised in every detail. The spacious lobby, attractive messanines conveniently placed offi- cers' desks and efficiently arranged counting rooms contribute to the gen- eral effect.of attractiveness and util- ity. Receive Floral Tokens Beautiful floral pices, tokens from various banks and bond houses, en- hanced the interior on Opening Day and the visitors were pleased, From Henry R. Hale, the president, to the veteran caretaker, every offi- cial and employe of the bank is beam- ing smiles of pride these days, that are catching a quick response among the contented partons and friends of the institution. HEINSEN AND CLARK, SUCCEED W. J. MOIR One of the north shore's best es- tablished and most reliable real estate || firms took on a new name this week when the former W. J. Moir Real Es- tate business became "Heinsen and Clark, realtors." The offices at 556 Center street, Win- netka, have for several months been in charge of Paul Heinsen, well known in north shore real estate and auto- mobile circles, Mr. Moir's decision to remain in Calildrnia led Mr. Hein- sen to purchase his half interest and to, in turn, seu tne partnershin to George C. Clark, formerly of McCallum and Clark, Evanston, one of the best .nown real estate firms in this vicinity. The reorganized firm will maintain its present location and the offices will be thoroughly modernized, according to Mr. Heinsen. The firm plans to operate from Evanston to Glencoe, inclusive, and ex- pects later to establish other offices on the north shore. Mr. Moir, who was formerly with McGuire and Orr, and for some time was established in business for him- self. "Six months ago he made a jour- ney to the west and has decided to remain in California. Girl Going Home From - School, Bitten by Dog Betty Dunlap, small daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Dunlap, 706 Cen- ter street, was attacked by a German police dog in passing the Frank Bers- bach residence early this week. She was returning home from the Horace Mann school when the canine rushed at her. The little girl was attended by Dr. Margaret Levick ' and the wounds, though painful, were said not to be serious. Dr. Levick reported that she had been called upon to treat another child that had been bitten by the same dog. PUPILS GET NEW IDEAS AS SCHOOL INSPECTORS Winnetka school children will have | an opportunity to visit one of the mo- del schools of the country when Charles A. Kinney, supervisor of shopwork in the public schools, be- gins hig excursions to the Francis W. Parker school, Chicago, Tuesday, Oc- tober 10. Kinney, who is also head of the de- partment of manual training at the Francis Parker school, will take two of the Winnetka children to the Chi- cago institution every Tuesday. While visiting the Parker school the children will take note of such student activi- ties as lunch rooms, assemblies and workshops. Upon their return to Winnetka the visitors will make a spe- cial report to the Winetka school as- semblies. Two children from the Par- ker school will come to Winnetka every week to study activities in the local schools. Francis Parker school 'is renowned for its system of education, which is said to be one of the finest in the country. It is hoped that the new sys- tem of exchanging visitors will enable both the Parker and Winnetka schools to profit by the experiences of each other. LITERARY EDITION COMING NOV. 10 Prize Awards for High, Grammar School Pupils Saturday, November 11, will see a Literary Edition of the Winnetka Talk, edited by John Philip Morris, who conducts a "Book Review" col- umn in this publication each week. The Literary edition will contain a complete section devoted exclusively to book reviews, literary contributions of particular merit, and poems. The edition, it is believed, will be unique in the Community newspaper field. Prize For Best Poem Much interest in the edition will be directed toward the poetry section in which poems, written by New Trier Township High school students will provide a special feature. The stu- dents have been invited to enter a poe- try contest in which the Winnetka Talk will give an award for the best poem, as selected by a group of well known poets. Children of the public and private grammar schools, are asked to com- pete for an award for the best book plate. Every school child in the town- ship will be eligible for this prize. In addition to numerous book re- views and comment on current litera- ture by John Philip Morris, there are to be special articles by Harry Han- sen, Florence Kipper Frank, Mark O'Day and John Eric Smith. Reaches Community of Readers It is believed the Literary Edition will attract wide attention in this vicinity in that the north shore is a community of readers, who are inter- ested in the best literature. There is to be no restriction as to length or style of the poems submit- ted in the High school students' con- tests. Poems and book plates submitted must be in the offices of the Winnetka Talk not later than October 21, Mr. Morris announces. THE ADVERTISER .TALKS The Winnetka Talk begins in this issue a series of brief state- ments made by advertisers®in reply to the question, "Why Do You Advertise in the Winnetka Weekly Talk?" The first of these statements made by William T. Wehrstedt, when interviewed by a representa- tive of The Talk, is found in an- other column of this issue. The editor of The Talk is inter- ested, and feels that most readers are interested in knowing "What an Advertiser Thinks About." Have you ever considered ,why a purveyor of commodities, a busi- ness man, selects with such care certain mediums through which to bring before the buying public his products or wares? Winnetka business men are wise business men and know how to advertise. These statements on "Why | Advertise in The Talk" should prove extremely interest. ing. Look for one each week! RESERVE YOUR OL TIMEAT PLIVFILD Park Board Commissioners Establish Regulations Per- mitting Reservations AID TO HOME GOLFER New Rules Give Members Chance Over Out-siders _Golfers at Skokie Playfield will be delighted to learn that regulations governing advance reservation time for play at the course have been put in operation by the Park Board. Emphasis is placed in the fact that advance reservation is for residents only and must be made at Playfield and not by telephone. Residents having Park Board reg- istration tags are permitted to reserve playing time in advance, subject to the following regulation established by the Winnetka Park district, Board of Commissioners. The Regulations Foursomes will be started every five minutes, those starting on the even hour and every ten minutes thereafter are subject to reservation not more than one week before date of play. Reservations must be made individ- ually with the Starter at Skokie Play- field, who will enter RESIDENT'S name and tag number on "his regis- tration sheet opposite the playing time selected. will be accepted. : A resident having a Park Board Registration Tag, may reserve play- ing time in advance for himself and not to exceed three (3) Fucsts; by purchasing guest" tickets at of making such reser ) ' must accompany such guests 'while playing. If, in the opinion of the Park Board, this privilege is abused, the Commis- sioners reserve the right to cancel same in the case of any individual Resident. Those reserving playing time in ad- vance are entitled to play at the hour and minute specified, but if not pres- ent when foursome is called to tee off, they lose their place and must ap- ply to the Starter in the same manner as those having made no advance res- ervation. Foursomes starting at five minutes after the hour, and at ten minute in- tervals thereafter (known as open time), are made up only on the day of play, and in the customary sequence of application alternating with foursomes of the class just des- cribed. Should a vacancy occur in a four- some starting at a "reserved" playing time, such vacancy may be filled in by the next in order of those who have not reserved playing time in advance. In accordance with established cus- tom, there will be no refund for any cause on non-resident or guest tickets. Follows General Demand The action of the Board of Commis- sioners was in direct response to num- erous requests gy resident players that certain definite regulations with ref- erence to reservations at the course be established in consideration of the fact that the course has been crowded with out-of-town players on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, making it im- possible for many members to secure playing time on the links. September Was Healthy Month, Says Schneider Dr. C. O. Schneider, Winnetka Health Commissioner, gives a very pleasing report on health conditions during September. He reports that there were but four cases of whooping cough, three cases of measles, one case of diphtheria, and one case of scarlet fever. In July there were seven cases of whooping cough reported; also seven cases in August. It is rather unusual at this time of year when the children are returning to school to see a de- crease in this disease, Dr, Schneider says. FOUR CORNERS DANCE The dancing season of the Four Cor- ners Dancing club begins today at Community House. The club is one of the most popular features of Com- munity House social activity and at- tracts large numbers of fun-seekers.
