The money raised through memberships goes to sup- port the work being done by the Chi- cago Chapter of which Winnetka is a part. One of the outstanding phases of the Chicago Chapter work is that of aiding the ex-service man, securing his compensation, hospitalization and vocational training, when he is unable to do this himself. During the last fiscal year Chicago Chapter aided 10,114 disabled ex-service men. Of that number 7,332 had de- pendent families requiring assistance. In relief of these men and their families more than $100,000 was spent. Chicago Chapter is but one of the many Red Cross chapters in the United States that is doing this work. Nationally, since the Armistice, the American Red Cross has spent approxi- mately $50,000,000 for service to the veterans of the world war. Last month 100,000 disabled service men were aided by the Red Cross. Every chapter is prepared to give service, relief and in- formation to the disabled veteran. The practical and economical method of helping the disabled veteran in your community is to enroll with the Red Cross. Mrs. Willoughby G. Walling of Hubbard Woods is chairman of the on- rollment in Winnetka.

After investigating various locations and properties suitable for the erection of the new Village hall, the Public Buildings committee of the council, head- ed by J. D. Pierce, and a special com- mittee of the Plan commission appointed by Judge Charles M. Thompson, at a joint meeting held Monday night de- cided to ask for architects' preliminary plans. The Linden street site was considered the most suitable because of its central location and because not as large an amount of money would be needed to condemn property, as would be necessary in the event another location were se- lected.
