Those who have heard the glorious voice of Martinelli so often at Ravinia this summer will be especially inter- ested in comparing the two leading tenors of the opera company. The Winnetka Music club is able fo offer this series of five concerts at the low price of six dollars, it is ex- plained, because it is arranged on a subscription basis. Subscribers who are unable to use their tickets are urged to deposit them with Mrs. Grant at the Winnetka State Bank to be sold for the benefit of the club. Subscribers desiring tickets for guests may obtain them by tele- phoning Mrs. Grant at the bank, as there are no box office facilities at the high school. Members of the club who are active on this committee are, Mrs. Roland Whitman, chairman; Mrs. Sidney Bartlett, Mrs. Percival Hunter, Mrs. Asa Cooley and Everett I,. Harris.

Hatton Hutchinson Speaks Before Sunday Club Meeting October 11 The Sunday Evening club was glad to have Dr. Reed of Northwestern uni- versity with them last week. His talk, which proved to be a preparation for the discussion to "follow, contained some interesting and illuminating facts. The club is holding a series of dis- cussions on comparative religions. Many of the old club members are on hand full of enthusiasm and new ideas. Some of the young people are catching the enthusiasm. "May we urge everyone, young people and everyone," writes a club member, "to gather in the Camp Fire room Sunday, October 11? Why ? You ask. Well, Paul Hutchinson is to be with us. Yes, the very same Paul Hutchinson who was with us last year. He is to lead the discussion on Buddhism. Those of us who know our speaker can guarantee that there will be much to discuss and much new knowledge to be gained therefrom. Therefore be on hand Sunday evening, tober 11, in the Camp Fire room, 'ommunity House, at 6:30. A light supper will be served." Champion Driver | Tony Rengel, caddiemaster at the Sunset Ridge Country club, made a world record drive of 374 yards on the seventh hole of the club course re- cently. Rengel, who lives on Glenview road, was playing with Charles Witt, George Lorenz, Harry Carroll and William Schilling, all club members. The group measured the length of the drive. Rengel is 20 years old, and this is said to be a record drive for a youth of that age. During the same game Rengel made an eagle on a hole on which 5 is par. Voters League Will Hear Authority on History of Europe Prof. Arthur G. Terry of North- western university, will speak at the opening meeting of the Winnetka League of Women Voters, Monday, October 12, at Community House. Professor Terry's subject will be "Con- temporary Europe." This study of the present situation in European affairs will be a forerunner of further study of international relations and the various proposals for international peace. , Mrs. Arthur Cushman, chairman of the league's committee, is in charge of this meeting, which is to be a gen- eral survey of things as they stand. Later meetings, which will deal more directly with 'international problems, will be planned by Mrs. William Hale, chairman of the International Relations committee. The meeting will begin with luncheon at 12:30 in Community House. Reser- vations for luncheon for members and guests should be made at once with Mrs. Leslie Gooder (Winnetka 1149), chairman of the Luncheon committee, it is explained. Professor Terry will speak immediately after luncheon, and no other program is planned so that he may have as long a time as possible. Fach member of the league will be allowed two guests at this first meet- ing, because so many people are de- sirous of hearing Professor Terry. His courses and lectures on Europe are al- ways popular not only because of his intimate knowledge of the subject from the earliest recorded history down to the present day, but also because of his rare charm in presentation. Prof- fessor Terry is also the author of books and articles on European history. '| Hooray! "Twas Tough on Head Writers Too The portals of our new munici- pal building are well proportioned, with reference to the general con- tour of the magnificent structure, but too small to bear the pre- tentious title our councilmen had decreed must be inscribed thereon, namely, "Winnetka Administration Building." This vexing problem confronted the council at its session Tuesday of this week and it was decided that to enlarge the entrance would be an infinitely more difficult pro- cedure than to shorten the name, hence, but read on: On the motion of Councilman J. D. Pierce, the Winnetka Village council voted Tuesday evening to change the name of the Adminis- tration building to "Village Hall." Mr. Pierce, in advocating this change admitted that he had been foremost in the effort to have the new building called the Adminis- traton building but that he has now learned that there is no space = on the new building large enough to have the new name inscribed in letters which could be read from the street. It was also 'said that many residents preferred the older and more historic name. Edwin H. Clark, the architect, who designed the building, was re- quested to make a report on the best way to show the name on the front of the building. OPEN CONCERT YEAR Dasch Players Give First of Year's grams; Report Sell-Out Tickets a x Tuesday evening, October 13, is the date of the first Dasch Symphony concert of the season to be given in the New Trier High school auditor- ium beginning at 8:15 o'clock. This will start the fourth year of the con- certs and it is expected to be even more successful than former years. The officers of the New Trier Town- ship Orchestral association which, sponsores these concerts, state that all tickets for the season have been sold. They regret that many on the waiting list for tickets were disap- pointed and explain that the receipt of payment determined precedence in getting tickets. All concerts will be on Monday evenings except the first one. Matinee concerts will be given November 16, January 18, February 15 and March 15, it was said.

Variations on a German DICKINSON DIRECTS 'SPEED TRAP' PROBE President Miller Appoints Com- mittee of Nine to Investigate; Appropriate $1,000 Investigation of the recent charges against Winnetka policemen started with a rush this week when a com- mittee of nine persons was appointed to take testimony and sift the charges to the bottom, and the Village council appropriated $1,000 to be used to em- ploy an attorney and a court reporter for the committee. The personnel of the committee is as follows: J. M. Dickinson, Jr., chairman: Donald F. McPherson, council member; Walter Strong, council member: IL. H. G. Bouscaren, Hinton G. Clabaugh, Earl Weinstock. Robert Wallace, Mrs. Gertrude H. Lieber and William F. Carey. The committee was appointed late last week by Village President John S. Miller and began its work almost immediately, meeting both Monday and Tuesday evenings of this week. Other meetings were scheduled for later in the week. The work of the committee is being kept a deep secret for the present; not even the meeting places are revealed to the public. Report to Council Mr. Dickinson, chairman of the com- mittee, said late this week that no announcement of the findings or ac- tivities of the committee would be issued for the present. He explained that the committee has no legal stand- ing, and is merely organized for the purpose of making an impartial inves- tigation of the charges and offer a recommendation to the Village council for its guidance in any action that may be taken. Any information must come from the Village council, said Mr. Dickinson. Up to the present time the committee has made no report to the council so no information has been forthcoming. The motion for the appropriation was made by Trustee Donald F. Mc- Pherson, a member of the investi- gating committee. In discussing the appropriation President Miller said that whether or not the charges made at the state's attorney's office are true, the lack of confidence in the local police which is shown by residents makes a thorough investigation im perative. Our Population Now Reads 10,132 Souls, School Census Shows Winnetka has a population of 10,132, according to the school census which has recently been completed by school authorities. The census was started last year shortly before the close of school, when cards were mailed to every householder in the village, but the response was slow as many were out of town part of the summer and athers failed to send in their cards for various reasons. The Bgures received show that there are 4,555 males and 5,577 females in Winnetka. There are 632 males and 528 females under 6 years of age and 1,287 males and 1280 females between the ages of 6 years and 21 years. School authorities say that this is the most accurate census ever taken by them. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE John J.
