These boys ~ spend much of their time in. the .out- 'of-doors as a very essential part in the rehabilitation process, and they need warm clothing. Right now, with cold weather here to stay for a few months, there comes the call from Arden Shore for con- tributions of clothing for these little men who are trying to get well so that they can pass thé exacting physi- cal examinations which accompany for work certifi- cates. They are boys who must con- tribute to the support of their families, since all of them come from the tene- ments where every able-bodied mem- ber of the family must do his share] to "make ends meet." Need Greatest Now It has been suggested by sponsors of the Arden Shore association that this season is the logical time for an appeal for clothing since many young men of those ages, who have recently returned from school for the holidays, haverreceived new supplies of clothing gir return to the academies and s, thus leaving behind sa gener- supply -cf used clothing that is just suited to the needs of the camp. It should be explained that the boys in the Arden Shore Camp are among those who have been denied working certificates by the Chicago Board of Education. The camp supervisors are thoroughly familiar with every boy's history and know that every contri- bution will serve a worthy purpose. The rest camp has been in existence for several years and, each winter, is the means of putting scores of under- nourished boys on the road to health and robust manhood. Contributions in Winnetka may be made with Mrs. Marcus D. Richards, 806 Rosewood avenue. North Shore Gas Company Shows Remarkable Growth Holders of seven per cent preferred stock of the North Shore Gas com- pany received their quarterly dividend checks this week.

This musical will be followed by Booth Tarkington's "Penrod and Sam."

In a telegram directed to the Win- netka Talk Mr. Ferry states: "Heard Edgewater Beach radio here (Hill Brook, Arizona): last night send greet- ings to Fred Wolf and Montague Ferry." It is thought some of Mr. Ferry's Chicago friends were responsible for the message. Municipal Toboggan Is Ready for the Kiddies The arrival of frigid weather and a heavy carpet of snow was hailed with delight by hundreds of Winnetka chil- dren and the joy market experienced a considerable boom when the young- sters found village workmen busy placing barricades on the streets cros- sing the Park avenue hill, the scene of the annual winter toboggan slide. The toboggan was put in shape Thursday of this week. For the in- formation of those who may not have heard it is well to state that Park avenue is the curved thoroughfare ex- tending from Prospect avenue to Maple avenue. TWO-AWEEK ginning with the Louisiana Purchase Two more contributors thought of the New Trier High School band and its plea for funds to purchase uniforms this week, bringing the total of con- tributions to 'date to within $2.44 of $600, or. three-tenths of the total amount necessary to purchase uniforms for the 120 members of the band. It was to be expected that the con- tributions would take a decided drop in numbers during the holidays, but now that the customary order of things is fairly well established, it is anticipated that matters will look up and the high averages of several weeks ago equalled or even surpassed. Members of the band are not satis- fied to stand idly by and await the cul- mination of the fund. No sir, they have plans of helping, and the most im- two 'concerts, to be given on Friday and Saturday, January 18 and 19, the proceeds of which will be directed into the Band fund. The Band fund is being raised by Lloyd Hollister, Inc., and it is desirable that every friend of a high school boy or girl, and all other citizens of New Trier township who arc interested in their high school, help along in the good cause by contributing something toward | the fund. Many 'small will do as much as a few 'tions and, besides, will make the f more representative. ha If you wish fo help "just check to NEW TRIER BAND FUND, LLOYD HOLLISTER, Inc, 1222 CENTRAI, AVENUE, WILMETTE, ILL. mail "Drop In Day" Held at The Richards' Residence The new parsonage of the Win- netka Congregational church was the scene of one of the New Year's Day gatherings.

HASTEN LINDEN WIDENING WORK Courts Confirm Improve- ment; Bids Are Taken The Linden street widening proiect has been confirmed ii the courts, b. 3 have been advertised and taken ana plans are going forward as rapidly as possible looking toward actual work on the improvement, which is one of the important steps in the ul- timate establishment of the Village Mall and new Municipalsbuilding. "Firms why "have entered bids for the wideni a of the street between Elm a eets, irclude the {John A. "company of Chi- ton, and the Ernst Construction com- pany of Chicago. The bids are now under consideration: by 'the Board of Local Improvements which is ex- pected to make a decision in the mat- ter at its next meeting on Tuesday, January 15. The engineers' estimate of cost approximates $30,000. When actual work on the improve- ment will begin depends in a large measure upon how soon the removal of certain buildings situated on a portion of the proposed street can be effected. It is planned to push this removal work as rapidly as possible so that work on the widening and paving can be completed before the end of next summer. The Linden street widening plan has been under consideration for sev- eral years. Several months ago the improvement was delayed in the courts because of certain legal tech- nicalities. The proposed street is one of the most important units in the Winnetka Plan arrangement since it will provide a plaza for the proposed new Municipal building to be located on the present Village property now utilized as a service and material vard.
