nn Ce ---- WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1925 3 WINNETKA DAY IS UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS (Continued from page 1) tonished participants each an infants' bottle full of milk, and declared that the team to finish first was the winner. The contestants made heroic efforts, especially Motorcycle Policeman Al- bert Ottone, but the contest was de- clared by the judges to be a tie and both teams received prizes. Pie-Eaters Amuse Other events which provided much amusement for the spectators were the pie-eating contest and the shoe races for boys and girls. The crowd roared with merriment when 30 boys reclined on the ground with their hands clasped behind them and ate blueberry pie without any other assistance than their mouths. And they laughed again when the entrants in the shoe races began to fling footwear wildly about, hunting for their shoes, which had all been placed together in a pile in the center of the field. In the evening, although it had at first threatened to storm, and then turned much cooler, large crowds gathered in front of the Skokie school, where the Chamber of Commerce band furnished dance music for those who cared to "limber up their feet." Both dancers and the huge audience were enthusiastic and the band was kept steadily at its work. Everything went according to sched- ule, officials of the Chamber of Com- merce said. There were no accidents or other unpleasant occurrences to mar the day and all who participated in the picnic enjoyed themselves. It 1s expected that this celebration will become an annual event. Chrysler Announces Lower Prices for Newest Model Walter P. Chrysler, president of the Chrysler corporation, announces new and lower prices on the Chrysler Six, as well as a number of improvements and refinements in engineering de- sign which raise this car to new per- formance peaks. The new price range is from $1,395 for the phaeton model to $2,095 for the Crown Imperial, f. 0. b. Detroit. Included in the improvements are a motor of greater power and smooth- ness, a chassis of greater sturdiness and rigidity with greater use of alloy steels, and a group of the most at- tractive body designs and colorings. "These refinements are but the nat- ural and obvious results achieved by an organization that is not content to stand still," is Mr. Chrysler's comment on the new prices and developments of the Chrysler Six. "When we first brought out this model, we were greatly flattered to have it hailed as most nearly approxi- mating six-cylinder motor car perfec- tion. However, our engineering and factory executives worked unstintedly to improve the design of the car and our manufacturing methods. This not- withstanding the fact that the motor- ing public held that our factory and our product was two years ahead of its time." Arden Shore Pageant Draws Many Visitors Many residents of north shore towns attended the pageant given at the Arden Shore Rest camp Wednesday afternoon of this week. Six hundred children participated in this pageant, which was said to have been the great- est production ever attempted at the camp. Several hundred members of the Arden Shore board and their guests were present. The pageant depicted the organiza- tion and growth of the camp, from the time it was first established in Glencoe, when it was known as Gad's hill camp, up to the present time. There were three episodes to the pageant. The first showed the estab- lishment of the camp, the second its activities and growth at Lake Bluff and the third showed the gratitude of those who have received help at the camp to north shore residents who have helped to make it possible. The pageant was staged and the children coached by Miss Leba Rosen- thal, recreational director at the Arden Shore camp. The audience received it with enthusiasm.
