Whether there will be any cause to enforce the measure during the remainder of this season is problematical, but it stands ready to be enforced next winter and may be the means of saving someone from serious injury or death. The sense of the new ordinance is as follows: "That no person shall permit or allow any person to hitch, hook or attach by any rope, wire or other means, any sled to any vehicle within the Village of Winnetka, whether such vehicle is mov- ing or stationary. Whoever violates this section shall be deemed guilty of a mis- demeanor and shall be fined in a sum not less than Five Dollars ($5.00) nor more than One Hundred Dollars ($100.00)." | "Spirit" to Be Subject for Christian Scientists! The subject for the lesson-sermon at the services of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Winnetka, on Sun- day, February 8, will be "Spirit." Services are held in the Masonic tem- ple building at 708 Elm street at 11 o'clock.

The question was placed before the meeting by one of the members who argued that the recent war, the attitude of the rising generation and political irregularity all indicated a retrogression in the spiritual qualities and morals of the present day. The response from the floor was almost instantaneous and it was quite WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1925 apparent that there, was no cause for pessimism in this respect. Dr. Edmund D. Soper of North- western university will address the class this Sunday on the subject "Life 'iter Death." The class constitutes an open forum and all men of the village are wel- come to meet with it in the American Legion room at the Community House at 9:30 o'clock every Sunday morning.

Boys and girls who are thinking of registering for this year's camp are ad- vised to communicate as soon as possible with Mrs. E. W. Wortley, assistant to the director at Community House.
