8 WINNETKA: TALK May 1, 1926 Paper Sets Forth Aims of Religious Education A recent issue of The Congregation- alist contains an interesting and in- s.ructive article by Dr. Herbert W. Gates, secretary of the Congregational Education society, under the caption, "Education for Participation in World Affairs." It embodies a splendid resume of the proceedings of the meeting of the Religious Education association at "l'oronto, March 9 to 12, which was at- tended by Dr. J. W. F. Davies, of the Winnetka Congregational church. In the report of the committee on findings, the objects of the association are set forth as follows: "The Religious Education associa- tion seeks to inspire the educational forces of our country with the religious ideal; to inspire the religious forces of our country with the educational ideal; and to keep before the public mind the ideal of religious education, and the sense of its need and value. The an- nual convention is organized to provide an opportunity for free discussion of the basic principles involved in re- ligious education, with the object of creating and criticizing methods to be employed." 2 Cicely 946 Oak St. End-of-Month Sale Smart New Hats . $5.00 to $10.00 Unusual hat values for Sport and Dress wear WINNETKA Haas Phone Winn. 320 Until May 15th Permanent Wave--$15.00 Alice Beauty Shop 522 Linden St., Winnetka Phones Winnetka 800 Marjorie Allen Names Attendants for May Wedding Of interest to the north shore is the marriage of Miss Marjorie Allen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin C.

PLUMBING CONTRACTORS 874 Center St. Winnetka 1260 VILLAGE COUNCIL ACTS TO ACCEPT WAR CANNON (Continued from Page 1) in procuring these cannon have been challenged, and their actions in so do- ing have been bitterly and criticised. publicly The Legion, having in mind the time honored American tradition of mount- ing captured cannon in public places as war memorials, secured for a pre- sumably grateful community a field gun, a howitzer, and a trench mortar. They intend to present them to the vil- lage as emblematic of the heroic sacri- fice of their comrades who were killed during the war with Germany. Symbols of Sacrifice "For ages, people have been accus- tomed to the use of symbols. The cross is recognized as the symbol of the saddest and most glorious sacrifice of all time, and yet the cross itself was the most cruel instrument of torture ever devised by man. "Cannon are not beautiful, nor are they, except in a limited sense, orna- mental. But, by tradition and because of their history, they recall the cour- age and devotion of men who dared face them in battle and laid down their lives for their country. "There is room for considerable dif- ference of opinion as to their proper location, but as a constant reminder, to children as well as adults, of those who made possible our present peaceful and happy condition, they have their place in any community,--not as sym- bols of hell but as symbols of patriotic sacrifice." Nature Committee Holds Plant Sale in Glencoe The Nature committee of the Wom- an's Library club of Glencoe will hold its annual perennial plant sale Sat- urday, May 8, at 9:30 o'clock' in the morning at McGuire and Orr's Real Estate office, 316 Park avenue, Glencoe.
