2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1925 CHIEF HOUREN RETURNS FROM FIREMEN'S SCHOOL Chief G. M. Houren of the Win- netka fire department returned last week from Champaign, Ill, where he has been attending a short course in fire prevention, control and extinguish- ment, which is given every year at the University of Illinois. The course, which was largely a demonstration of new methods and equipment for sea- soned fire-fighters, continued from June 16 to 19. It consisted of lectures on fire prevention, building construc- tion, mechanical installations, electrical installations, life safety, fire alarm systems and other methods and de- monstrations of rescue work, resusci- tation, combating smoke and gas, rasing ladder, hose work and many other things. Chief Houren said that more than 200 firemen attended the course this year. It was given under the direc- tion of State Fire Marshall Gamber. It is predicted that there will be an even larger attendance in the future, as this course becomes better known. Plans for next year call for a training tower to be ued for demonstration purposes. Open Design Contest to Winnetka Children Winnetka children have been in- vited to enter the contest announced by the Illinois Children's Home and Aid society, 308 N. Michigan avenue, Chicago, in which awards are to be given for the best designs for an em- blem to be used on stationery, litera- ture and pins of the society. Awards are to be judged by Mrs. John Alden Carpenter, John Winter- botham and Lorado Taft. There are no age limitations, nor number of designs, for the contest, the only proviso being against mem- bers of the society staff. The closing hour is midnight, June 30. The society is founded on 'Home Life for Children," caring for them whenever possible in their own sur- roundings and finding foster homes for the needier children under its supervision. No age, color and na- tional distinction is drawn in the se- lection of wards, and service is ren- dered throughout the state, filling physical, mental and social needs. Mrs. Frederick W. Copeland of 665 Prospect avenue, is leaving June 29, to "pass the remainder of the summer months at her cotlage in the East.
