A similar ordinance is now go- ing into effect in Evanston, it is said. AGAINST MORE TRADE Members of the Indian Hill Improve- ment Association Go on Record as Opposing Business There Members of the Indian Hill Im- provement association went on record as being unalterably opposed to any business buildings in the new Manus, Indian Hill subdivision at their meet- ing held at New Trier high school last Monday evening. They will appear in large numbers at the hearing to be held next Monday evening at the new Village hall before the Zoning Board of Appeals of which Robert Kingery is the chairman. At the meeting Monday evening a com- mittee consisting of W. Dean Keefer, Dee A. Stoker and Lee Walker were appointed to meet with the zoning body and discuss the zoning plan for the new subdivision. There was also a discussion of the plans to widen Winnetka avenue and Wilson street, at their intersection, to eliminate what is felt to be a very dangerous corner. Entertainment at the meeting was provided by radio artists from station WHT of Chicaga. Oscar Heather, as- sistant director of the station, was in charge and those who performed were Nathalie Gilmartin, colorature soprano, accompanied by Robert Rix; George Nohren, singer of popular songs, ac- companied by Edwin Thiel at the piano; and Jack Marshall, pianist, playing popular selections. At the next meeting of the Improve- ment association the entertainment will be furnished by the Edgewater Glee club, a male chorus of 40 voices. This meeting will be held the first Monday evening in March. At the April meeting there will be a "radio party supreme," it was announced.

Burglar First Boarder in Winnetka's New Jail The first prisoner to occupy the new jail in the new Village hall was John Easterwood, of Birmingham, Ala., who was charged with being a participant in the burglary of the C. H. Kallstedt home at 500 Hawthorn lane, last No- vember. Easterwood was arrested in Birmingham recently after one of his accomplices, who was captured shortly after the burglary, by Chicago police, made a confession. He was lodged in the new jail early this week and was after held over to the grand jury on bonds of $5,000 by Police Magistrate C. T. Northrop on a charge of burglary. He has now been moved to the County jail in Chicago to await trial. ISSUE HEARING CALL Indian Hill Residents Invited to Ad- journed Hearing on Manus Subdivi- sion at New Hall Monday evening, February 8, in the new Village hall on Linden street, an adjourned public hearing is to be held by the Zoning Board of Appeals on the matter of zoning in the Manus Indian Hill subdivision which lies just south of Winnetka avenue, west of the North Western railway, and east of Church road. This property was recently annexed to the village and a public hearing to consider the question of zoning was held by the Board of Appeals, serving as a committee appointed by the Vil- lage council, on the evening of De- cember 7, 1925. Since that time the board has been studying the many problems offered in the zoning of this territory, has several" possible solu- tions, and is holding an adjourned ses- sion of the earlier public hearing for the purpose of considering them at this time. This is the first important public meeting to be held in the new Village hall and all residents of the Indian Hill neighborhood are urged to be present, and give the Board of Ap- peals the benefit of their suggestions on this important zoning question. The board will also welcome the at- tendance of any property owners in the subdivision. Inscribe Athenian Oath on Panel in New Council Hall At the meeting of the Village council held Tuesday evening the trustees moved that the "Athenian Oath" be inscribed in gold lettering on one of the panels in the council chamber of the new Village hall. This oath is one which every young man of ancient Athens took when he became of age and entered into the full rights of cit- izenship. It is thought by the trustees to express the ideal civic spirit. The oath follows: "We will never bring disgrace to this our city, by any act of dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever desert our suffer- ing comrades in the ranks: we will fight for the ideals ahd sacred things of the city, both alone and with many; we will revere and obey the city's laws and do our best to incite a like respect in those above us who are prone to annul or set them at naught; we will strive unceasingly to quicken the public's sense of civic duty; thus in all these ways we will transmit this city not only not less, but greater, and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us. Winnetka Joins Michigan Sanitation Organization Winnetka will become a member of the Lake Michigan Sanitation Con- gress following authorization of such a step by the Village council at its meeting held this week. This congress is an organization of the municipalities around the south end of the lake which are interested in sewage and sanita- tion problems in connection with their water supplies. The communities in- cluded in the congress extend through three state--Illinois, Indiana and Mich- igan. WANT EVERY WAR VET TO JOIN LEGION POST Winnetka Unit Makes Personal Canvass of All Ex-Service Men; Announce Programs Winnetka Post No. 10, American Legion wants every man in Winnetka who served in the army, navy or marine corps in the World war and is not now a member of the post to join its ranks. At present no formal campaign for members is contemplated, but the members of the post are can- vassing their friends and acquaintances. If any former service man wants to join the post, or if anyone knows of a service man who is not in the post, it is -urged that they communicate with the chairman of the membership committee, T. J. Lynch, 564 Lincoln avenue, Winnetka. At the meeting of the post Monday, February 1, "Slim" Greenloh and Al Lehmas, a vaudeville team that has worked together ever since army days, entertained the post with songs and then led the members in singing both new topical songs and some of the old war-time favorites. The meeting developed a sort of reunion character and encouraged much impromptu clog- ging. "Human Salvage"--Subject At the next meeting of the post, on February 15, Dr. Harry E. Mock, a prominent Chicago surgeon, during the war lieutenant colonel in the divi- sion of Surgical Reconstruction of the" Medical corps, will give an illustrated stereopticon talk entitled "Human Salvage" which is a fascinating story of what is being done to remake men disabled both in the war and industry. At the meeting on March 1, Colonel W. A. Graham, judge advocate, Sixth Corps area, United States army, will give a talk on General Custer's last fight. Colonel Graham has made quite a study of Custer's last ride and the tragic fight at the end, and gives a most intergsting account of it, those who have heard him assert. Austrian Educator in Talk Before Rotarians The Rotary club of Winnetka great- ly enjoyed a visit and talk from a dis- tinguished guest, Dr. Paul Dengler, of Austria, at a meeting of the club, Fri- day of last week.
