FIGHTS SKOKIE PRESERVE PLAN Commissioners Retarded by Opposition What are the Commissioners of Cook County, in their special function as Forest Preserve Commissioners, doing towards buying the Skokie? Inasmuch as the answer to this question is of vital importance not only to those now living on the north shore but also will be to future resi- dents, a brief history of the proceed- ings will be of value. On February 7, 1921, the Forest Preserve District of Cook County passed an ordinance to acquire in the manner provided by law title to a parcel of land approximately five miles long, commencing at the Cook County line on the north and averag- ing about three-quarters of a mile in width, consisting of 2,090 acres, and commonly known as the Skokie Val- ley. To Preserve Forests Section One of this ordinance stated that the purpose of thus acquiring this land was the protecting and preserv- ing of the flora and fauna and scenic beauty of the tract of land as nearly as might be in their natural condi- tion for the purpose of the educa- tion. pleasure, and recreation of the public, The remaining section of the ordi- nance contained the legal description and provision for the purchase or condemnation of the land. The Forest Preserve Commission has already acquired parts of the Skokie and will continue negotiations until it has taken over the entire tract. In the course of its negotiations, however, the Forest Commissioners have met certain difficulties which naturally have delayed their progress. For ex- ample, a number of year ago Wil- liam D. Washburn asked the Forest Preserve, according to the account of the latter, to buy some of his prop- erty in the Skokie Valley just west of Winnetka, which they did. He came forward recently with the re- quest that they be ordered to sell that property back to him. He lost the case locally and has appealed to the Supreme Court, where the case is now pending. Buy Mills Property A few weeks ago the Commissioners purchased 85 acres from Allen Mills of Glencoe, ten ~f which were on the Dundee road and 75 about half a mile south of Dundee road. The Commissioners wish to have it understood that such litigation as that described above naturally retards their efforts in endeavoring to develop Forest Preserve district. Local Girls in Mock Republican Convention College students at Oberlin, Ohio, will have a chance to see how pol- itics work when they stage on May 12 and 13 a National Republican Mock Convention resembling as nearly as possible the real Republican Conven- tion. Senator J. F. Burke, candidate for governor of Ohio, will be chair- man the first night, and Carmi A. Thompson, who has held such posi- tions as Assistant Secretary of the Interior, and Treasurer of the United States, will officiate the second. The students themselves, however are organizing the convention, and will compose the state delegations. A parade of the delegations, fea- tured by costumes appropriate to each state, floats, and stunts will precede the first session Monday night. At this time Senator Burks will give the key-note speech, officers and com- mittees will be selected, and the con- vention rules adopted. Nominating speeches will be made by students. Among the Illinois delegates at the convention will be the Misses Pris- cilla. and Dorothy Lloyd, Wilmette and Miss Helen Hamilton of Winnetka.

Everybody said in so many words or by their actions in the form of hearty and long-continued applause that the coming-out concert on the evening of April 29 of the young Winnetka Choral society (born last fall) was an unqualified success. No- body could have expected that it would be so good as it really was. Ask any- one present if the singing wasn't remark- ably fine. You won't have to go far to find "anyone," because the Assembly hall of the Woman's club, where the concert was given, was filled to the doors. That the many months of hard work done by the Choral society and its lead- er, Noble Cain, were well spent was proved by the very first sounds that came to the ears of the audience from the group on the stage. The quality of tone was pure and vibrant. The balance of voices of and parts was satisfactory. The attack and rhythm showed a calm assurance. As the program advanced the artistic powers of the society continued to im- press themselves upon the hearers. What also impressed itself was the excellent quality of the choral compositions. Per- haps the most impressive number was "The New Earth," a wonderful produc- tion by Henry Hadley with words by Louise Ayres Garnett. The fact that the audience demanded of the pianist, Erwin Wallenborn, a double encore, is sufficient evidence that he delighted them. His playing of the Godowsky arrangement of Schubert's "Moment Musicale" was remarkably pleasing. The evening would have been incomplete without the competent work of the soloists, Mrs. Burton H. Atwood, Miss Helen Mueller, William A. Snyder and John E. Freeman. The author of the "The New Farth," Mrs, Garnett, was to have been present to read her poem, but in her absence the reading was given mm a most acceptable manner by Miss Marigold Langworthy. It is hoped that all those interested in the work of the society will join its ranks in the coming fall. For further information apply to Mrs. William A. Otis. COOLIDGE BOYS WILL ENTER TRAINING CAMP The applications of John and Calvin Coolidge, sons of the President, have been received by the Corps Area Com- mander of the Ist Corps Area and they have been accepted to attend the C. M. T. Camp at Camp Devens, Mass., during the summer. _ This is John's second year, he hav- ing attended the camp at Camp Dev- ens last year and liked it so well he is going back again this year and take Calvin, Jr., with him. General Hale, the Sixth Corps Area Commander, has just announced that 2,000 applications have already been received for Camp Custer this August and if they continue to come in as fast in the future as they have been during the last month, the quota will be filled by May 10th and that a great many boys who are careless about get- ting their applications in early are going to be disappointed. Hold Clerk-Carrier Exam in the Village on May 17 An examination will be held for the positions of clerks and carriers in the Winnetka post office Saturday, May 17, at. 3 o'clock. Application and information may be abtained from the local secretary, Mr. Braun. There will be steady work for regu- lar substitutes and regular appoint- ments as soon as capable to handle the work, it is explained. There are at the present time vacan- cies in the carrier force which will be filled from the eligible list from this examination. This is a steady position, 15 days annual vacation, 10 days annual sick leave accumulative for three years, pleasant working conditions, and $100 annual increase in salary, says Post- master Elmer E. Adams. Here's Another $5 for Completed Band Fund Although the New Trier Band fund, solicited by Lloyd Hollister, Inc., during the past five months, was completed last week with a total of $2,148.37, there remains still another acknowledgement, namely, the contribution by "A Friend," of $5, which, all good students of arith- metic will tell us, brings the grand total to $2,153.37. The band is planning to enter the Cook county high school tournament on May 10--in full regalia. It also expects to participate in the national band tour- nament to be held in New York in June, Read the Want-Ads ship fraternity. RRR EN LL J ET
