A / WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1924 : 9 NORTH SHORE Winnetka League Plans a Luncheon and Open Meeting HE presidents of the local women's organizations will be guests of honor at the third monthly lunch- eon of the Winnetka League of Women Voters to be held Monday, December 8, at Community House. Among these guests will be: Miss Ruth Matz, pres- ident of the Woman's club; Mrs. David Lasier, of Woman's Society of the Con- gregational church; Mrs. George Bisset of the British-American society; Mrs. Alfred Alschuler of the Jewish Study classes; Mrs. Ralph Childs, the Circles ; Mrs. Gustaf Nelson, Swedish Church society; Mrs. Eloise Wortley, Commun- ity House; Mrs. Walter Fisher, Parent- Teacher association; Mrs. Albert B. Martin, Worthy Matron of the Eastern Star; Mrs. W. A. Kittermaster, of the North Shore Catholic Woman's league. The speaker of the day will be Miss Edith Rockwood, executive secretary of the Illinois League of Women Voters who will speak on the finances of the league. The presidents of the local women's organizations will also talk briefly on the work of their respective clubs. At 2 o'clock the meeting will be open- ed to the public, and Mrs. Walter F. Dodd of Chicago will give the third of her popular 45 minute lectures on gov- ernment. The subject this month is "Who Pays the Bills?" ~ She will discuss in her entertaining way the sources of the gov- ernment's income and explain just how much or how little pressure is put upon the individual pocket books of Winnetka citizens by the passing of bills at Wash- ington involving large expenditures. Mrs. Dodd has been engaged to con- tinue her series of lectures here in Jan- vary, February and March, and the league is opening its doors to the public at all of these because it feels that this will be a rare opportunity to learn about the government from one with the ac- curate and extensive knowledge of the subject which Mrs. Dodd's long study has given her, and at the same time to have this usually cumbersome subject presented in such a way that it becomes as entertaining as a story book. Each of Mrs. Dodd's lectures is complete in itself, so that those persons who have missed the first ones, can enjoy the others. The usual monthly board meeting will be 'ld at 11:30 o'clock in the League of Women Voters room at Comm:mity House. Because of the complications in planning luncheon for so many, all league members are requested to make their luncheon reservations to Mrs. William i Nicholls, chairman of luncheons, at Winnetha 635-W before noon on Satur- ay.
