TI could see no possible to the plan but the park Doard™e ruled the suggestion. 3 "Consequently we have continued to function with the funds at our . dis- posal. Regular events have heen con- ducted as in the past and no serious complaints have reached me as to the general conduct of these affairs. Lauds Golf Team ; regular golf team has com- peted very successfully with other teams in the County Municipal Golf association and we can be justly proud of their efforts. During the year we were able to bring two national ama- terr champions to the course for an exhibition tournament and a very large gallery found considerable to admire in the efforts of Gardner and Herron. By SO | "Our Cffers Advice "The conductine of the varions tournaments is a matter which should receive serious cons'deration. It seems unfa'r to ask the chairman of 'he Sports committee to undertake a'l of the manv details that are invo'ved in seeino that matches are run off on schedule time and IT suegest that, if it is possible, arrangements be made, at nominal expense with someone familiar with such work to take charge of the necessary details. It micht be that the starter, for come small remuneration, would be willing to do it. "On several occasions, it has heen 'neeested that one or two of the holes be lenecthened, particularly the 6th, 7th and '13th. 1 believe this should be done. : Starting System Good "The starting system has apparent- ly proved successful and certainly has been well handled. Tt has made better golf facilities for Winnetka residents and I think should be continued." Every golf enthusiast in. Winnetka is urged to attend this meeting net Tuesday evening. y Announce Entertainments In Sacred Heart Parish Members and friends of Sacred Hear parish who have purchased, tickets for a series of entertainments in' the parich will be interested to learn that' th forthcoming programs are to he giver] by. the.
