2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1925 HOME GARDENERS HOLD OWN SHOW Winnetka Community House to Be Scene of Elaborate Exhibit July 25-26 JUST AMATEURS ENTER More Than 200 Aviards Will Be Made Announcements of the annual Flower Show to be held at the Winnetka Com- munity House July 25 and 26 under the auspices of the North Shore of Illinois branch, of the National As- sociation of Gardeners has aroused keen interest among Winnetka gar- den lovers. Steps are being taken to arrange for representation of the Winnetka Garden * club in the show, it is said, although no definite action had been taken this week. The activity of the many gar- den clubs all along the shore during the past weeks is taken as prophetic of an unusually fine show this year. The emphasis being placed on juvenile and amateur exhibits is also expected to draw considerable interest. Offer 200 Prizes More than 200 cash prizes are being offered in the premium list which is now being distributed. These are for exhibits in seven different classes, in- cluding vegetables, flower arrange- ments in baskets and vases, cut flowers, sweet peas, plants, fruits and amateur exhibits. Competitions for prizes are to be strictly by non-professional growers. It is required that all exhibits shall have been grown by the exhibitor at least 90 days preceding the exhibition. Lake Forest gardeners are reported - to be unusually interested in the com- ing events and are planning on large exhibits. They are expecting to make the flower show the high point of the year's activities. Special Displays Feature Special provision has been made for meritorious displays of flowers which are not listed in the premium lists. These will include such exhibits as asters, cosmos, dahlia, delphinium and other perennials or annuals. Spe- cial prizes will be awarded those judged worthy. The American Bulb company of Chicago; Kennedy, Inc, of New York, and W. E. Marshall company of New York are donors of prizes. Congregational Pastor Regains Health in East Word comes from Bridgeton, Maine, where the Rev. James Austin Richards, pastor of the Winnetka Congrega- tional church is spending the extra time given him by his church in order that he may completely recover from his illness of the early spring, that he is making steady progress. On July 2 he underwent an operation in a Portland hospital for the removal of an abscess in the throat, which is ex- pected to hasten his return to com- plete health. The W. A. Lamson family of 940 Sheridan road, left last week for Glacier park and Lake Louise, where they plan to spend about a month. WINNETKA BOYS LIKE LIFE AT CAMP ECHO Two Winnetka boys, Samuel and Frederick Wallace, are active camp- ers at Camp Pinewood conducted by the Central department Y. M. C. A. of Chicago on Echo Lake, 20 miles north- east of Muskegon, Mich. Camp acitvities include all well su- pervised athletics, swimming, boating, and canoeing, fishing, hikes, campfire programs, and interesting clubs of all kinds. Sel The making and flying of miniature airplanes has been very popular in the camp, two instructors being furnished by the Central Lions club of Chicago. "Iast Sunday the Rev. G. B. Landis of New York took advantage of the interest in airplanes and, following a demonstration as part of the morning religious services, spoke on the text from Isaiah, "They shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary: and they shall walk and not be faint." The boys claim they hear every campfire entertainment twice because every song or talk is echoed back to them with almost weird reality by the hills surrounding Echo Lake. There is one leader in charge of ach group of eight boys in addition to the general camp staff made up of more than a dozen trained leaders and students of boy management. One of the unique features of the camp is an outdoor school conducted for a few hours each day for those boys who wish to do a limited amount of review work. A corps of teachers is in camp for the entire summer. INVITE TO SERVICES English Lutheran services are to be held again Sunday evening, July 19, in the Parish House at Oak and Lin- den streets, with the Rev. D. A. Lof- gren of Chicago, field secretary of the Lutheran Illinois conference, giv- |. ing the sermon. His subject will be "A True Christian's Reward." Serv- ices begin at 7:45 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Emil Olsen, 1000 Vine street, motored to Milwaukee to spend the past week-end-with friends.
