EEK A Clean Newspaper for a Clean Community VOL. XII, NO. 32 J yor. ¥ Li ARY ~ "WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1923 - - & = Hf i ENPY PAGES TN PRICE FIVE CENTS EXCHANGE NEEDS HEAPS OF THINGS Forthcoming White Elephant Sale Promises to Be a Complete Success DONATIONS ARRIVING Everyone Asked to Help Equip Community House BY WINNETKAN Do you need a vacuum cleaner? Or a woman's bicycle, or a sewing machine, or a gas water heater, or a child's desk? These are some of the articles already contributed to the Community House Exchange, to be held on November 14 and 15. The money they bring--and everyone will be a bargain--will be de- voted to buying pots and pans, chairs and tables, dishes, curtains, and many other items of equipment which we are all going to need in the new addition to Community House, in order to make it usable. Mrs. Ayres Boal, general chairman of the White Elephant sale, says she has never seen so much enthusiasm and such willingness to help as are being shown by everyone she has turned to for aid. All committees are organized and working, and all chairmen are showing a keen interest in making the most of their part of the exchange. Help to Neighbors People are looking at it as an oppor- tunity to benefit their neighbors and, in- cidentally, themselves, for besides help- ing the main cause, and disposing of goods and chattels 'that have become White Elephants, are they not giving others a -chance to benefit? For there will be bargains galore, and many kinds of them. The general committee has broad- casted notices of the exchange through- out the village, and has 'sent personal requests to very many families for con- tributions. This request is extended to everyone. + Look in your attic or your cellar or your garage or linen closet or pantry, and weed out the furniture, clothing, dishes, pictures and books you've been wanting to bestow on someone who needs them and can put them to good use, Some Suggestions The radio set you put away when you bought the new one, golf clubs that didn't fit, half-worn shoes or socks, old ukeleles, or lamps or stoves, all can be brought to the exchange and will help to swell the equipment fund. It is reported that one active group using Community House would be glad to buy a desk, tables, chairs, etc, es- pecially if the money goes to the new equipment fund. Take your parcels to Community House as soon as you can. Or, if they are too bulky, call Winnetka 538, and your things will be called for. Prof. J. F. Crawford to Preach Here Tomorrow Prof. J.

Returns Home in Time to Shoo Away Prowlers Police were summoned to the home of Mrs. Kingsley, 739 Foxdale avenue, Tuesday evening, October 16, in answer to a burglar alarm from that residence.

Abandon Operation of Our Village Ambulance The Village council, in regular session Tuesday evening of this week, considered abandoning operation of the Village am- bulance "presented to Winnetka several years ago by Mrs. Ayres Boal. It was stated in the discussion that the Village lacked service facilities to care for this equipment in order to make certain that the ambulance would be ready for emergency calls. Under present conditions, it was said, it is necessary to leave the ambulance in charge of a local garage, and sev- eral instances have occured when the equipment has failed to give satisfactory service because of lack of attention. Arrangements to secure a more com- pletely equipped ambulance under direct village supervision, will be made as soon as adequate facilities can be provided in the proposed new municipal service yards, it was decided. Speaker and Band Score Hit at C. C. Meeting "Opportunity," in its most 1viting guise, was presented to the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce Wednesday of this week by Alexander Carr, speaker of note, who addressed the first social evening of the association. 'The members learned of the many opportunities for success and service open to the business man located in a smali community. A special feature of the 'evening's program was the initial appearance in concert of the recently organized Cham- ber of Commerce band, and to say that the "boys" did well would be putting it mildly. The men were agreeably sur- prised at the splendid progress made a Jina PLAYFIELD GOLF AT THE WIND-UP Play Today and Sunday Will Conclude This Season's Events at Local Course MANY PLAYERS ENTER Prizes Offered for Good and Not So Good Golf Because of the uncertainty of the weather, The Winnetka Playfield asso- ciation has decided to make Saturday and Sunday, October 20 and 21 the final goli- ing windup as far as tournaments are concerned.
