i be i i | CIVIC AFFAIRS, WINNETKA, WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1 ~ MEETING TOPIC Annual Election Important Feature All residents of Winnetka, in what- ever part of town they may live, are cordially invited to attend the annwal meeting and election of the Village Im- provement association. This session will be held Monday evening, February 19, in Christ Church Parish house, Oak and Linden streets, at 8 o'clock. The invita- tion is issued by John C. Cobh, Presi- dent of the association, and by the Board of Managers, consisting of the chairmen of the different standing committees. This association, the oldest organiza- tion of its kind in Winnetka, embraces the entire community and looks at all village problems irom a community-wide point of view. A number of problems are pressing for the attention of the village at this time and this meeting affords perhaps tne most general oppor- tunity for the expression of village opin- ion of any of the un-official village hod- ies. Discuss Community Problems Following the annual election of offi cers and transaction of routine business, there will be an opportunity for discts- sion of such probiems as track depres- sion, community music, better care of parkways and vacant lots, building re- strictions and limitations, street clean- ing, noise and smoke abatement, accident prevention, forestry and planting, beauti- fication of public buildings, franchise provisions of public utilities, and their operation; in fact all problems having to do with the life of the community as a whole. Talk Track Depression Mr. Cobb is particularly anxious to thave a large attendance, as considerable emphasis will be placed on the subject of track depressicu at this meeting. The association has recently conducted an active compaign for new members, and while the response has been very gratify- ing, there is a large amount of work to be done by the association during the present year and it is strongly urged by the committe in charge that those who have not already sent in their mem- bership fees to Mrs. H. LI. Woolhiser, treasurer, to do so immediately so that the association's Board of Managers may know what {unds they are to have at their disposal. Extra School Bus Service Arranged For Zero Spell Extra bus service will be maintained by the Skokie school in zero or stromy weather, according to an announcement made by Principal Willard Beatty, last Wednesday. The severity of the weather and the distance of the school from some + homes of many of the pupils is respons- ible for the move. Two extra busses will leave the school at 8:50 a. m. on the north and south routes. The busses will pick up children walking toward the school. Mr. Beatty's anouncement made it plain that this does not mean that the extra service will become a regular part of the buss schedule. The two extra vehicles will be used only in extremely cold or stormy weather. BACK AT OFFICES Dr. O. H.
