__-- "4 . Ee b---------- 5 az WINNETKA TALK March 6, 1925 Gives Series of Talks on Subject of Prayer Has prayer a growing or diminishing place in the religious life? How has science affected our ideas of prayer? What may be accomplished by prayer? These and other timely questions will be considered in a series of three talks on prayer, by the Rev. Thomas A. Goodwin, in the Congregational church. The first address will be given Wed- nesday, March 10, at 8 o'clock, in the church auditorium, on "Obstacles to Prayer." The topic on March 17, will be "Learning to Pray," and the con- cluding discussion will deal with "Pos- sibilities of Prayer." These meetings are part of the Lenten program of the church, and everyone is very welcome. O. M.

OBJECTS TO ZONING BOARD FINDING (Continued from page 1) with the buyers, but I suppose this is impossible. Robert Kingery, chairman of the Zoning board, replied to the attacks on the report by telling the council that all of the points brought up by the representatives of the Improve- ment association had been considered by the board before the recommenda- tion was made. He then read a com- munication from: Charles L. Byron, a member of the Zoning body who was away when the recommeadation was made. Mr. Byron's report stated that he had studied the case and: that he agreed with the other members of the board who recommended that the sub- division be zoned both for commercial and residential purposes. Coram T. Da- vis was the only member to file a dis- senting opinion. This was published in the WinNETKA TALK of last week. The third attack on the board's finding came in the form of a letter received by the council from the Win- netka Chamber of Commerce. It read as follows: "The Village of Winnetka, by reason wim 17s CHAMBERS CAFE coi st.

"The section lage is resident serve. creation of another business at the south end of the vil- contrary to the wishes of the community it proposes to "In event of another business zone, thereby practically connecting the north and south limits of Winnetka, business interests predict the eventual loss of co-operation, largely due to the influx of undesirable tenants, the pos- sibility = of sectional strife and the elimination, in time, of Winnetka Beautiful. "Proposition Inconsistent" "The proposition is inconsistent be- cause of limitations and restrictions placed on the original business area of Winnetka, and the further fact that several thousand feet of business front- age in Winnetka proper are yet to be improved. "The importance of a new business area at the south end of the village is uncomparable to the efforts that you gentlemen and your predecessors have devoted to the proper proportion and systematic control of the original business area of Winnetka. "In summing up the above, we con- tend that Indian Hill residents have been satisfactorily served all these years and are opposed to the enlarge- ment of the business area: that un- developed commercial and industrial tracts of considerable frontage exist today in Winnetka proper; that in establishing three distinct commercial areas in any village the size of Win- netka we are not consistent with our- selves, the zoning law, or the hitherto well defined program." This communication was placed in the files and the members of the council voted to consider the matter further with the Zoning board. Mrs. H. C.

Following a 6:30 o'clock dinner, also served at Community House, and at which Col. William A. Graham, of Chi- cago, Judge Advocate of the Sixth Corps drea, was a guest, the Post as- sembled in its headquarters room to listen to a most interesting address by Colonel Graham on the Battle of the Little Big Horn, better known as Custer's Last Fight. A large wall map showing the loca- tion of the various points from which the advance was made by Custer's men on the Sioux warriors, was used by Colonel Graham, His knowledge of the. details of this important historical affair, his pleasing manner of description and a resume of the en- gagement from a military point of view, proved one of the most interest- ing programs which the Post has been permitted to enjoy for a long time. At the conclusion of his address Colonel Graham was given a rising vote of thanks by the Post. Colonel Graham was with the 88th Division in France, and always enjoys an occasion to meet with the members of the Winnetka Post, one of the live American Legion organizations of the north shore. At the business session, which was presided over by Commander Edward R. Lewis, .the Post voted to put on a minstrel show, to be given by Post members, sometime the latter part of April. : On March 17 and 18, at Community House, the Post has arranged to give some very interesting and instructive motion pictures, showing in action the troops of the 33rd Division, which comprised the Illinois National Guard; the 149th Field Artillery, which was recruited along the north shore and was assigned to the Rainbow Division ; and the 86th Division, the National Army. . Persons who have seen these pic- tures are enthusiastic about them, and say they are particularly interesting from a local point of view as it is pos- sible to distingui¢h some of the Win- netka men, especially those of the 149th, comprising so many Winnetkans and in command of Col. Henry J. Reilly, then a Winnetka resident.
