- Higgins, March 6, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 43 GIFT OF CANDY PROVES BOON TO MOUNTAINEERS Modest Christmas Gift Starts Outpouring of Aid for Berea College The manner in which great and un- told may develop from the smallest be- ginning, is seldom more forcefully illus- trated than in a little incident which occurred at the Winnetka Congrega- tional church, a few weeks before Christmas. At that time Miss Ruth Dennis, a speaker for the Pine Mountain school, in an address before the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth grades related the needs of the Kentucky Mountain children, whom, she said did not have enough | money with which to buy Christmas candies. As a result of this address, the children in one class of the Fourth grade decided to give up candy for a week, in order that they might contri- bute, in 'a small way, at least, towards supplying a bit of cheer to the Ken- tucky Mountain school. I'he movement quickly spread to other classes in the same Winnetka church school, with the result that its contribution was 106 pounds of candy, all as a result of the children in one Winnetka class giving up candy and saving their pennies for one week. Would Continue Work So elated were the children in the class of A. Fletcher Marsh, where the movement originated, that after Christ- mas they sought other means of con- tinuing the existence of happiness, or even more lasting assistance to the ob- jects of their yuletide generosity. About this time Mr. Marsh made a trip to the Kentucky mountain section that he might learn first hand wherein the children in the Winnetka 'school might be most helpful, He was in- formed that the traveling or extension library in the school at Berea was greatly in need of hooks, and a list of those most desired was circulated among the Winnetka children. Last Sunday, just before the begin- ning of the school, the children of the Fourth grade marched in, carrying a large number of their own hooks which they knew Berea Mountain. children needed. Mr. Marsh's class is still sav- ing money with which to buy more books, and, furthermore, those having any of the books mentioned in the list and who will kindly donate them are requested to leave the same at the Community House, marked for the Fourth grade. Dr. J. W. FE. Davies, in commenting upon this movement, declared these children ought to be aided as much as possible in this plan which they have initiated. "It is good religious educa- tion," he declared, Following is a list of the hooks needed for Berea College and Moun- tain Traveling Library, for children: The Man from Glengarry, by Ralph Connor; Glengarry School Days, by Ralph Connor; Down North on the Labrador, by W.

This is a very small percentage of the cost of new build- ings during the year, and shows that many reductyons have been granted. For instance, the personal property valuation this year is $578,212, as com- pared with $639,442 last year. "The general tax rate for Winnetka is 12.08 percent of the assessed valua- . . i ---- tion, as compared with 11.63 percent last year. This increase is due to an increase in the state tax from .65 per- cent to .85 percent; in the county tax from .58 percent to .80 percent; in the forest preserve tax from .13 percent to .14 percent; in the sanitary district tax from .46 percent to .55 percent. "The tax for the high school and grade schools purposes remains the same as last year, while the tax rate for Village government has been re- duced from 2.00 percent to 1.98 per- cent. The tax for the Winnetka Park district also shows a reduction from .56 percent to .51 percent. Village Rate Reduced "The tax rate for Village govern- ment in Winnetka, namely 198 per cent is the lowest for any village in the township, that for Wilmette being 2.10 per cent, Glencoe 2.19 per cent and Kenilworth 2.00 per cent. The municipal rate in Evanston is 2.79 per cent. "The tax rate for park purposes in Winnetka, namely .51 per cent, is lower than Wilmette or Glencoe, these being .56 per cent and .76 per cent re- spectively. The park rate in Kenil- worth is .36 per cent. "The foregoing shows that in spite of the fact that the rate for municipal government and for parks has been reduced in Winnetka, the increase by! outside taxing bodies has resulted in an increase in the tax rate from . 03 per cent to 12.08 per cent." "A Resident God," Study in Tuesday Lecture Session (Contributed) "A Resident God." So the Rev. James Richards characterized the God of many people, the God who gets what is left of our time, our loyalty, our hearts. Or the residual God who him- self can only consider a residuum of the nations--the "white race" or the "Nordics" or anything whereby we make little or limit our God. The second lecture on Isaiah was a fresh revelation of the beauty of the words and the depth of the thought of that unknown writer of the capti- vity. Though many of the passages were concerned with the idols of Baby- lon, their makers and their futility; though the writer both laughed at and yet pitied the poor people who thought their idols (made from the re- sidue of the tree whose trunk had warmed them and whose flames had cooked their food) would protect them from the coming Cyrus, lord of Persia; still are we reminded that today we have made our own idols, idols of ar- mies, of navies, of munitions, of banks, of legislatures, of beauty parlors, rather than put our trust in the living God, who forgives us for his own sake as well as for our own. Read Isaiah 40:12-31, Is. 44:9-20 and then set aside Tuesday morning, March 9, from 10-11 for the third lecture on the "Second Isaiah," which will deal with "Cyrus, Babylon, and Jerusalem." Read also Is, 47, 52:1-13, 55. The meeting is held in Neighborhood room, C. H. Ld Otto Dovidat Ladies' and Men's Tailoring 794 Elm Street Over Vollmann's market.
