-- = yi WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1923 wn HONOR SCOUTS ON BIG NIGHT Troop I in Annual Exhibition at Community House; Twelfth Anniversary MAKE MEDAL AWARDS Two Scouts Honored by Am- erican Legion The Winnetka Boy Scouts cele- brated their twelfth anniversary on Thursday evening. Troop 1 has had an unusual record, starting twelve years ago with sixteen scouts, and having now a membership close to one hundred. This is the only troop in this region, during VYhis }period that has not had to start over again, or be reorganized. During this period, 371 boys have been members of this troop, 43 of whom entered United States service at the time of the war. One of the characteristics of the troop has been the fact that the older boys have giv- en a leadership and seriousness to the work which has been in- valuable. Two of these boys were given special honor, one George F. Eisenbrand, who enrolled in the Scouts in February 1916, qualified as a tenderfoot the following March and took his Second Class in April, and his First Class in June. He passed his First Merit Badge examination in July of the same year, became an Eagle Scout and then was promoted to Assistant Scout Master. In speak- ing of him, Scout Master Davies said, "He did not hesitate to do the drud- gery work: he was accurate, careful, honest, obedient, always keeping in mind the Scout Laws. He not only did his own work, but he helped others. He was enthusiastic, doing his work without being told and has been an honor to Troop 1." The other--Cabray Wortley, who enrolled in July 1917, became a ten- derfoot the following October, qual- ified as Second Class Scout in May, 1918, and as First Class Scout in Fe- bruary 1920. He was Scribe from 1919 to 1921, and was then appointed as Assistant to the Scout Master. He became a Veteran Scout in 1922, and in 1923 was made an Assistant Scout Master. In the same year, he became an Eagle. Chief Davies said in regard to Scout Wortley, "He is conscientious, careful, dependable, honest, always reverently upholding the Scout Laws, doing his own work and more for he is continually help- ing other scouts. He never wanted to be told what should be done, but tried to find out what needed to be done and then did it. He has been loyal to the Scouts and untiring in his work, an honor to Troop 1." Honored by Legion The American Legion then pres- entcd these two with engraved wrist watches, through Village President Miller, because of the excellent rec- ords which they have made. Philip Eisendrath was commission- ed as Assistant Scout Master and Jimmie Young commended for his fine work as Scribe. The Sea Gull Patrol under Patrol Leader Larson won First Rank as the best Patrol during the year, and were awarded medals indicating that fact. ' Thursday's Scout Night program was pleasingly varied. It included assembly, roll, signal contest, O'Grady drill down, knot contest, signalling contest with an Evanston troop, pic- tures, fireman's lift relay, a play, tenderfoot test, present awards, re- port on patrol standing, medal awards.

Harold Larson, lead- er of this patrol, was awarded a silver medal, and each member of the patrol received a bronze medal. Leaders Sponsor Troop Assisting Secoutmaster Davies this year have been Arthur M. Barrett, Henry Lane and Mr. Bemis. Mem- bers of the Council were H. F. Clarke, Ayres Boal, E. A. Rummler, L. B. Sherman, Harold Snell, Grinnell Wylie, F. S. Tyrell, J. R. Leonard, John Lasier, A. B. Martin, Irving Odell, S. Bowles King and Guilford Windes. The noteworthy record of Scout Troop 1 is attributable in great meas- ure to the devoted service of Scout- master Davies. Mr. Davies has di- rected the troops activities since its inception twelve years ago. He has labored ceaselessly in the interests of the troop and the many boys and young men who have come under his supervision in the past twelve years regard him with sincere respect and true affection. O'Brien Hat Shop Owner Buys Old Prouty Building About fifteen years ago Miss The- resa O'Brien started in the millinery business in Winnetka. For the past seven years the O'Brien Hat Shop has been doing business at 748 Elm street, but now Miss O'Brien an- nounces that the store will move to new quarters the first week of May. Miss O'Brien has recently pur- chased the old Prouty Building now occupied by Eckart's hardware store Edward Bauman of and Peters' market. The Eckhart hardware store will move into the new Eckhart building and Miss O"Brien's Hat shop will locate in the store.

M. Houren, chief of the Fire department. In the last week, the records of the depart- ment show, thirteen calls were sent into the department because of rub- bish fires. In practically every in- stance little care would have saved the department a "run," and yet in every case a run was necessary to protect property unuecessarily ex- posed at. danger. Not long ago Chief Houren sent out circular letters to all Winnetka residents asking them to co-operate with the department by taking pro- per precautions when burning rub- bish. He also requested that persons who intended to "burn off" grass lots first notify the department in order that the firemen might be saved a useless run. Wednesday Chief Houren reaffirmed that request, stating that up to the present time co-operation between "rubbish burners" and the department had been lacking. Addresses Arden Shore Boys Tomorrow; Show Film Fri. Henry F. Tenny of Winnetka is to address the boys at Arden Shore Rest camp near Lake Bluff tomorrow af- ternoon at 4 o'clock. The occasion marks one of the informal programs given at the camp by Winnetka citi- zens. A motion picture depicting camp life at Arden Shore is to be shown May 4. A group of the camp boys will sing as a feature of the program. Militiamen Banquet; Bert Is 'Out of Luck' (Continued from page 1) and appointed Messrs. Eastman and Richard Yates Hoffman to prosecute and - Messrs; John R. Montgomery and Norman K. Anderson to defend the wretched accused. It was discov- ered that Farwell was already im- prisoned by reason of family whoop- ing-cough, so, for the love his erst- while playmates bear him, "Top- Sarge" Sargent was substituted. The trial was replete with the stuff of which criminal proceedings are made and ended with acquittal of those on trial and with mixed feelings on the part of Preacher Davies and Attorney Anderson toward both of whom the evidence directed the finger of shame. The Court clearly went outside - of its province in suggesting that Blow be tried for malicious slander at the next reunion dinner, whereat Battling Bert, baself bereft but bellicosely belted, bellowed belligerently.
