RT ERATE Arr Ry Are fs WINNETKA TALK A Weekly News-Magazine for Winnetka Er ------ VOL. XV, NO. 16 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, JUNE 26, 1926 PRICE FIVE CENTS BUILD AUDITORIUM AT COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL Gift of $100,000 Already Received for Construction and Main- tenance of Building The plans for expansion contemplated at the time when the North Shore Country Day school was organized, in case the enterprise proved successful, are now to be carried to the final stage of completion. The only unconstructed unit in those plans--a suitable audi- torium--is to be erected during the summer. It will be located on the large open space of the campus, north of the gymnasium. More than $100,000 has already been subscribed. A portion of this is to be used to endow the maintenance of the building, so that the added facilities may make no additional drain upon the resources of the institution, it is said. In general it is intended that new improvements in the school shall not increase the present rate of tuition. Sum Represents Gift The sum now being . subscribed, comes as a gift, outright, it is said. This marks an advance stage in the history of the school. The scheme of co-operative financing which has aroused considerable attention among certain school administrators, has provided a successful basis for the school, and the accession of gifts now points the way to further advances of standard. The auditorium will release the gym- nasium, hitherto used for assembly, for the full use of the physical depart- ment, and will afford the splendid facilities for the literary, dramatic and musical features that form an im- portant and striking part of the school activities. Hubbard Woods Again on Job Buying Ravinia Books The Hubbard Woods committee has again done splendid work on the sale of Ravinia Opera books, exceeding last year's total by $800. The response from the village has been splendid, it is said, and it is especially gratifying to note that the following merchants have availed themselves of the won- derful opportunity Ravinia offers: The Hearthstone Tea Shop; The At- lantic and Pacific store, John Gunn, manager ; Carlson's Drug store; North Shore Pharmacy; Hubbard Woods Cash Grocery; M. C. Dean; J. A. Odh; H. E. Odhner; Hubbard Woods Electric and Hardware company; Hubbard Woods Lumber and Coal company; Woodland Grocery; Dini Brothers; The Painted Butterfly. Anyone desiring Ravinia books may secure them at once from Mrs. J. Williams Macy, chairman, phone Win- netka 1109. Arrangements have been made this season for the chairmen to keep extra books on hand for the con- venience of those desiring admission tickets to the park. The Pine Street circle and the Elm Street circle will be joint hostesses at a picnic given for thirty little children from the Chicago Commons on Wed- nesday, July 7, at the Park beach. Miss Grace Stoddard is chairman of the committee in charge... ICAMP IS JUST FINE Girls Perparing to Follow Boys at Lake Hamlin Camp; Boys Having Great Time, Reads Message Word has been received from J. W. F. "Chief" Davies at Lake Hamlin, Ludington, Mich., that the thirty-six boys arrived in camp Tues- day morning in time for a large and welcome breakfast. "Fine weather. Good time. Good eats. Love," wrote one boy to his anxious mother. But girls can be just as excited about blankets, tents, Scout knives and mosquito netting as boys, and their mothers can verify that. Tuesday, July 6, the girls, who are going to spend three wonderful weeks, will meet at the Communtiy House to become acquainted with each other, ask questions and receive instructions as to time of meeting and leaving. The old campers will tell of the good swim- ming, the hikes to lake Michigan, the wonders of the stretches of sand dunes, and of course, the home-made ice cream and spice cake, both of which are famous at camp, There is a possibility that an extra place or two may be left open in the girls' camp. Full information about the girls' camp can be learned from Mrs. Eloise Wortley, Winnetka 538. The following girls will go to Indian Hill camp, Hamlin Lake, Mich., July 12: Jane Ashman, Emilie Banning, Alice Beardslee, Ruth Beardslee, Louise Conway, Mary Eisendrath, Jean For- rest, Margaret French, Margaret Gor- don, Marion Hilpert, Constance Con- nor, Julia Keenan, Sue Potter, Isabel Milton, Marion Popper, Emily Simp- son, Virginia Taglor, Florence Taylor, Emma Rummler, Virginia Honnold, Josephine Biuschini. The counselors will be: Dr. J. W. F. Davies, director; Mrs. Eloise Wort- ley, Virginia Ogan, Mary Hill, Caro- line Roberts, Vivian Eisenbrand, and Lottie Eadie, the camp nurse. Police Find Mundelein Traffic Not Very Heavy After making special preparations which included closing Sheridan road to local traffic in expectation of heavy trafic to and from Mundelein on Thursday, the closing day of the Eu- charistic Congress, Winnetka police found that the traffic on the boulevard was scarcely more than normal. De- tails of police were on duty patroling Sheridan road from early in the morn- ing until late in the evening, but it was apparent at noon that no unusual flow of traffic would be noticed. It was thought that comparatively few drove to Mundelein because of antici- pated parking difficulties. Sindler and His Band Here on Fourth of July The Children's parade on the Village Green at the Fourth of July celebra- tion, taking place Monday, July 5, will be led by Sindler and his twenty-five piece band. Be This big Chicago Band will 'play from 2 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon--and from 7 to 10 o'clock in the evening. They'll play for the street dancing inthe evening. ---- a {| McNaughton,.also of Kenilworth, -- Property Owners Favor Extension of Lincoln Ave. The opening of Lincoln avenue from Elm to Oak street, which has been under unofficial consideration for some time, is one of the general topics of discussion which one hears nowadays about Winnetka, The project is given added impetus at this time by the attitude of Leonard H. Roach and George F. Gonsalves, who own the Prouty property, who, in discussing the plan, expressed themselves as very anxious to have the project started at once. They favor the street extended in 'order that they might improve the Elm street corner with a fine modern business block which would cost upwards of half a million dollars. Thus the village would not only have the advantage of a through street south from the business section di- rectly east of the tracks, but it would also gain very materially in the ac- quisition of the splendid improvement in the heart of its business seetion,.it, is pointed out.
