" Winnetka, (ha EX Winnetka Public Lig TL. WINNET 5 Wei LY A Clean Newspaper for a Clean Community TALK VOL. XIII, NO. 48 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1925 I'WENTY PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS ELECT MUNICIPAL BUILDING FLAN HERE'S A TEST FOR THE WOMEN Not a Cross-Word Puzzle But Something Entirely Unique and Instructive IT'S AN AD CONTEST Every Woman Entitled to Seek the Awards "Women of Winnetka do not know a good advertisement when they see one." So remarked a prominent business man of the community some time ago. He's dead wrong, and WINNETKA TALK has determined to prove it! Here's the plan-- "The women of our village--all women who happen at any time to read WINNETKA TALK are invited to engage in a test designed to prove that they do know good ads when they see them, and which carries with it weekly awards, in the nature of crisp ten dollar bank notes, for the best explanation of the merits of certain advertisements. In other words, to the woman, each week, who selects the best advertise- ment in a current issue of WINNETKA TaLk and provides the best explanation for her choice, set forth in an essay of not more than 100 words, will go an award of $10. No Pitfalls "No pitfalls nor strings attached to this test," we're told. - Just straight-for- ward examination of the merits of the advertising placed in WINNETKA TALK by Winnetka merchants and business people. It is emphasized, however, that the test will apply only to advertisements appearing over the signature of Win- netka concerns. Advertising from out- side firms will not be included in the essay competition. Education Test The educational advantages in such a test cannot be overestimated, since well composed and attractively arranged ad- vertisements require exceptional taste and a fairly definite idea as to how ef- fectively the advertisement will react with the reading and buying public. This test will determine whether or not our merchants and other business folk are measuring up to the required standard in the matter of presenting their announce- ments before the citizens of the village. Then, also, this test affords an oppor- tunity to swell that pet charity fund, or perhaps, help out with that very essen- tial commodity commonly termed "pin money." Ten dollars will go a long way when one is bent upon aiding a worthy cause; it means a lot to the little cookie jar on the pantry shelf. There are no restrictions--no catches --every woman is eligible to enter the test. Pick out the Winnetka advertisement you consider the best in this issue of WINNETKA TALK and mail it together with your 100 word essay, to "Mister Inx," WINNETKA TALK, 564 Lincoln avenue, Winnetka, Ill. Help disprove the statement that you don't know a good ad when you see it! . Square Club Arranges Frolic at Masonic Temple Some time ago The Square club of Winnetka temple gave a stag party and the men who were present thoroughly enjoyed the entertaining and amusing show that was put on at that time. This party was such a success that the officers of the Square club have planned another party to be held February 7, at 8 o'clock in Winnetka temple, The committee in charge, having in mind the success of the first party, has planned the coming party along the same lines, and having more experience, has succeeded in formulating a program that should make this party even more of a success than the first. Tickets are in the hands of various members of the club for distribution. FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE DANCE Friendship Circle, club for working girls, which meets each week at Com- munity House, announces a dance to be held at the center Tuesday evening, Feb- ruary 10.

DEMAND OBSERVANCE OF PARKING LIGHT RULES By order of Chief W.M:. Peterson the police department is starting an intensive drive to enforce the law requiring auto- mobiles to be left properly lighted when parked at night. "People leave their cars parked on dark streets without either front or rear lights or sometimes with only the front lights on," said the chief. 'This is dan- gerous and it must be stopped. When driving along it is difficult to see a car parked without lights and sometimes serious accidents endangering both life and property result from a collision from this cause." Members of the police department have been instructed to give an arrest slip to any persons who leave cars without pro- per lights and in case the owner can not be found and it is impossible to provide a light, the car will be towed into a ga- rage and the owner required to pay the towing charges in addition to his fine. Chief Petersen appeals to the residents of the village to co-operate with him in this matter.

At the morning service, which will be held at 11 o'clock, Bishop Paul Jones will preach. Bishop Jones will be re- membered as having conducted a preach- ing mission in Christ church during the last Lenten season. At that time he at- tracted considerable attention through- out the community, both among members of the parish and in the community at large, because of the importance of his message and the ability with which he presented it. Those who heard him at that time will, it 1s felt, be glad now to have this opportunity of meeting him and hearing him again. At the evening service at 8 o'clock, in the church, the Rt. Rev. S. M. Griswold, D. D, will preach and confirm a number of candidates who will be presented to him by the rector, Rev. E. Ashley Ger- hard. Bishop Griswold will meet before the service for supper with the Young People's Fellowship of the parish, and the young people will themselves have charge of the service at the church. All, Winnetkans are cordially invited to both of these services. PROPOUNDS QUERIES IN LECTURES ON GENESIS By "CHIEF" Is there an outstanding reason why the story of Abraham has survived? Was Abraham a tribe or an individual? Was his going out of Urr a matter of conscience in regard to worship of God or an economic necessity? What is meant by being "father of the faithful?" How does this character come to earn the title "an adventurer for God?" What is there that is timeless, about this fig- ure shrouded in mists of time? Has this character any value for us today? These are questions that come to the mind of the inquirer. The crowds that have been attending these lectures have indicated their worth. It is a good hour spent in the clear at- mosphere of honest thinking. You are welcome, with your friends. At 7:45 o'clock in the auditorium of the Winnetka Congregational church, there will be a violin duet with the organ. The following numbers will be given: Adagio, Moskowski; Londonderry Air (Old Irish), arranged by Kreisler. The duet will be composed of Mrs. Valona Brewer and Mrs. Robert Kingery, with Mr. Raymond at the organ. "SUNDOWN" ENDS TODAY Final showings of "Sundown" will be held at Community House today at 2:30, 7:15 and 9 o'clock, according to the di- rectors of motion picture programs at the center. 8 What put p------ RK DESIGN OR HALL WINS Winnetka Architect Awarded First Honors in Compe- tition Started Last Fall DESIGN ON DISPLAY Funds Available for Actual Construction Edwin H. won the Clark of Winnetka, architectural competi- new Winnetka Village adminis- tration building when his work was selected as the winning de- sign by the jury of award last Monday. The decision has since been ratified by the Village coun- cil and work has been started on the detailed plans. . Mr. Clark is one of a group of prominent young architects resid- ing in the village and has de- signed many notable. buildings among which are the Chicago Municipal Tuberculosis sanitar- ium, the Aquarium at Lincoln Park, the Lincoln House, the University club at Evans- ton, the Indian Hill club house and the North Shore Country Day school, and_ private residences such as those of John N. Ott, John McEwen, Ar- thur Sullivan, C. Colton Daughaday and many others. : Distinguished "Jury" The jury which selected the win- ning design was comprised of three nett, consulting architect of the Chi- cago Plan commission, Alfred Granger, president of the Chicago Chapter, American Institute of Architects, and John A. Holabird, of the firm of Hola- bird and Roche, Chicago architects, and Raymond E. Durham and the president and members of the Village council. Mr. Bennett is already well known to Winnetkans through his part in preparing the Winnetka Village Plan. Mr. Granger and Mr. Holabird are also known to the villagers. Mr. Bennett and Mr. Durham were ap- mission and Mr. Holabird by the com- peting architects. The drawings of all competitors are to be placed on exhibition in the Vil- lage hall Sunday, February 8, from 2 until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The Village hall will also be thrown open for inspection at the same time. All residents are invited to go and see the drawings and the present vil- lage building. It is predicted by vil- lage officials that an inspection will convince anyone of the new structure. Funds Now Available Two other architects who are Win- netka residents submitted designs in the contest. They are Austin D. Jen- kins and Russell Walcott. Their drawings will also be on display Sun- day. afternoon. The contest was begun early in the fall, the purpose being to get a de- sign which would be both beautiful and practical, and at the same time to encourage local talent, the contest being open to Winnetka architects alone. The requirements for the type of building proposed included not only beauty and conformity to the Win- netka Plan, but also practical atten- tion to the needs of this particular building which will house, in addition to the village offices, the police and fire departments. The money for the building is in the treasury of the village and work on it will probably begin early in the spring. An article by J. D. Pierce, a village trustee, giving the history of the preparations for the new edifice up to the present time, is to be found elsewhere in this issue of WINNETKA TALK.
