REAL HOME COOKED MEALS Full Line of Delicatessen Goods A NO BURGLARIES HERE DURING LAST MONTH Also No Serious Fires in Winnetka Winnetka was free from burglaries and housebreakings during the entire month of December. Also, Fire Chief Houren reports, there were no fires of any consequence over the same period of time. This condition is very unusual, of- ficials declare, in view of the fact that records of previous years indi cate the reverse generally obtains. December always has been considered | a harvest time for burglars and a "heavy fire month," what with fur- naces going full blast and Yuletide candle lights providing an additional hazard. Residents Co-Operating. The splendid record of the police de- partment is due in great measure to the energetic steps taken by Chief Peterson and his men in patrolling the village, and to the commendable co-operation of householders in re- porting to the police upon leaving their homes during the evenings or over extended periods. Fire prevention work by Chief Houren and his department is chiefly responsible for the absence of serious conflagrations in the village last month. In the first place, the depart- ment furnished every family in the village with valuable suggestions in regard to prevention of chimney fires. The only calls upon the department last month were to small brush fires. It is the hope of both the police and fire departments that the residents of Winnetka will continue the splendid co-operation that is making it difficult for thieves to operate here, and ef- fectively preventing heavy property loss by fire.
