2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1923 HALT BUSINESS FOR NEW TRIER PICNIC (Continued from page 1) aggregation, and a thrilling engage- ment is promised. Both teams have been displaying splendid form this season and an evenly matched en- counter is assured. Game time is 4 o'clock. Band Concerts and Dance Mindful of the possibility that there may be some picnickers bored at field events and ball games and in search of more restful recreation, the Music committee has been engaged in ar- ranging something of genuine inter- est for those who desire more peace- ful entertainment. There will be concerts by the Chicago Elevated band in the afternoon and early eve- ning hours, interspersed with the music for the dancing. There will be ample seating accomodations in every section of the grove, so that friends and neighbors may gather in groups for quiet chats while enjoying the concerts. Long before sundown the dance pavilion will be the center of interest, a carefully selected orchestra from among members of the Elevated band furnishing the music. Then, at 9:30 o'clock, experts will light the fuse that starts off the big fireworks display which is expected to be the crowning event of the day. There will be dancing until mid- night. * Free bus transportation will con- tinue through the afternoon and eve- ning, so that the picnickers may come and go at their own convenience. The picnic grove is situated on the south side of Lake avenue, one block west of the Ridge and Lake avenue intersection. There is a large, free parking space for the cars. Count Emil Nord In on the Big Holiday Jobs! Emil Nord, Wilmette genial mer- chant tailor who believes in doing things in a big way (he is co-pro- prietor of what is perhaps the most modern tailoring establishment be- tween Chicago and Milwaukee) is Emil Nord putting forth superlative effort in con- tributing to the success of New Trier Day. Mr. Nord is assigned to several im- portant New Trier Day committees and he is finding time to give every item under his direction the same bus- iness-like attention he accords his thriving tailoring establishment. You'll see Mr. Nord at the picnic grove, and you'll surely find him smiling. Bert Says Kiddies Must Have Best of Everything The kiddies may count themselves as peculiarly fortunate in having Bert W. Blow as chairman of Races and the Children's parade. Mr. Blow announces at this time that, far from being an incidental at- Bert W. Blow traction on New Trier Day, the chil- dren's activities will be one of the predominant features. "What's a picnic good for, any way," he argues, "unless everything is arranged to show the little tots a real time. After all, that's the best fun dad and mother get out of the day." So he has provided for a variety of interesting contests, a big flag pa- rade, eats and special gifts for the children. Of course, he'll direct the competitive events for the older folks, as well, and Bert can do that to a nicety, for he's had lots of experience at Winnetka Community celebrations. In private life Mr. Blow is the big man behind most of the po'ful exca- vation work one views when big building are being erected on the north shore. He uses the biggest shovel hereabouts. It's so big they have to operate it by steam. Kiddies--Bert is "steamed up" to show you a big time next Thursday. This Gentleman Comprises Entire Music Committee J. C. Gapen, one of the important officials in this vicinity of the Public Service Company of Northern Illi- nois, and an aggressive member of the New Trier Commercial associ- ation, comprises the entire Music com- mittee for New Trier Day. Mr. Gapen will usher the big Chi- cago Elevated band into the north shore next Thursday and he'll also secure good music for the afternoon and evening dancing. % Morning 8 SLL" Have Clean Your EYES Healthy Eyes If they Tire, Itch, Smart, Burn or Discharge, if Sore, Irritated, Inflamed or Granulated, use Murine.
