R WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 2%, 1923 SHOW INPORTANGE OF EYE TEST IN SCHOOLS Optometrists War Against 'Peddlers' Dr. O. H. Bersch, optometrist, who recently opened an office in Wilmette, attended the annual convention of the Illinois State Society of Optometrists at the Sherman hotel, Chicago, Jan- uary 21-23. The convention Dr. Bersch reports, exhibition. War on Mail-Order Venders A number of important resolutions were passed by the convention and changes made in the by-laws of the society with the object of protecting the public from mail-order venders of glasses who promise everything and give really nothing. House-to-house peddlers of glasses and unscrupulous advertisers in this field also were in- cluded in this group. Dr. Augustine, former president of the American Optometric association, pointed out the need of vision surveys in the public schools and in factories or wherever the eyes play an import- ant part in the work, not only as a matter of conserving vision, but an economic proposition. In this con- nection he stated that of the 100,000 | Winnetka Woman's Club A meeting of the Music department of the Winnetka Woman's club was held in the club house on Thursday, January 18, at three o'clock. The chairman, Mrs. Roland Whitman, pre sided. The program was given by Miss Betsey Knowlton Williams, plano, Master William Carver Williams, 'cello, Mrs. Asa B. Cooley, contralto, and Mrs. Clifford B. Ewart, accom- panist. Miss Betsey and Master William, children of Mr. Day Williams, a 'cel- list of note, showed great musical ability. The Rubenstein Sonata in D. Major, was played with good tech- telligent and sympathetic playing of a group of solos. Her versatility was shown in the playing of two pieces which she had composed herself, "Cradle Song" and "Dawn." Master William played a number of selections, accompanied by Miss Betsey. He played with a lovely full tone in the "Libeswerburg" by Becker. "Spring brunen" by Davidoff, was very bril- liant and delicate, while the "Spinning Song" by Popper displayed his fine technique. One cannot but feel that these young people have a future of unlimited possibilities. Mrs. Cooley sang her songs in a charming manner. She is possessed of a beautiful contralto voice which is smooth and rich, and also has the ability to interpret songs artistically. "The Invocation to Eros," by Kurstrier, OCCUPY NEW HOME Mr. and Mrs. Christy Brown, who sold their home at 651 Garland avenue and have recently resided at the North Shore hotel, Evanston, are now occupy- ing their new home at 650 Garland avenue.
