October 2, 1926 WINNETKA TALK rst COMMUNITY HOUSE IS STARTING ACTIVITIES "Chief" Davies Appeals to All Residents of Village to En- joy Membership at Center "Activities at Community House are starting for the season and now is the time to enroll if you are to take full advantage of the winter's work and | fun," is the announcement made this week by Dr. J. W. F. "Chief" Davies, director. Mr. Davies further adds: "Community House is calling all Winnetka for recreation, for exercise, for good times, for education--in short, for everything that you want in a win- ter headquarters. "Your friends will be there. Almost everybody in Winnetka comes to Com- munity House for some of the 'doings.' It's a busy and gay place every week- day evening. Winnetka is very proud of it. And many another town and city envies us. 'What $3 a Year Brings "Community House is made possible only by the generosity of public- spirited people. The dues--$3 a year-- pay but a small fraction of the ex- pense. That's why one gets so much for his or her money. It's the cheap- est club you ever heard of, and one of the best for variety and real good times. "The work of this House war- rants a large membership from the Community." Ninety-seven organizations used Community House last year for regu- lar meetings, once or twice a week, twice a month or monthly. This year will be even busier. The House stands ready to promote activities for the ad- vancement and all-round growth of young people, especially; and to serve the community in any way possible. In addition to regular activities, the House is open for regular use by many organizations in the village, and as a special meeting place for many small- er groups. Motion pictures are shown each Tuesday and Friday, with occa- sionally a special showing on Satur- day." Group Meetings Boy Scouts--Thursday evenings, o'clock. Camp Fire Girls--Thursday afternoons, 4 o'clock. English classes for foreign men and women on Monday and Tuesday evenings at 8, beginning the first Monday in No- vember. 7:15 Friendship Circle--Tuesday evenings, 8:30 o'clock.

Max Mason Speaker at Opening Meeting of Voters League Max Mason, president of the Uni- versity of Chicago, will be the speaker for the opening meeting of the Win- netka League of Women Voters at Community House Monday, October 11. The luncheon will be served at 12:30 o'clock in Rudolph Matz hall. This is a meeting to which all wom- en of the village are invited whether members of the league or not. They are, however, urged to make reserva- tions for luncheon by notifying the corresponding secretary, Mrs. Eugene Rummler, Winnetka 1097, on or be- fore Friday, October 8. As this is President Mason's first visit to Winnetka, a large crowd is expected to be present. President Mason will be accompanied by Mrs. Mason. They will be guests of honor at a reception to be held at 12 o'clock noon in the Campfire Room just prior to the luncheon. Winnetka women are delighted to have this opportunity of meeting the new president of the University of Chicago, and Mrs. Ma- son. Other honor guests at the reception and luncheon will be Mrs. Harold Ickes, president of the Chicago Wom- an's club, and Mrs. Herman B. But- ler, president of the Chicago Y. W. C. A., both of whom are members of the Winnetka league. The members of the new Kenilworth league, of which Mrs. Mark Cresap is president and of the new Lake Forest league, of which Mrs. George Richardson is president, are also expected to attend the meet- ing. This opening day is known as Edu- cation Day, the program being in charge of the Education committee, of which Mrs. William B. Moulton is chairman. October 11 will thus open the year's work of the Winnetka league in a most auspicious manner. .

Richards conducted the Men's Sunday Morning class last Sunday with an attendance present which augured well for the coming year. All the old standbys and some new faces were there. Mr. Richards outlined the way in which his approach to the study of the Gospel of John will be made. Such questions will be raised and discussed as to who wrote the book, at what place was it written, at what time was it written; all of these things entering into a correct interpretation of the manner of the book itself. "Perhaps more particular than any of these," Mr. Richards suggested, "is the question as to why it was written and for whom, and right alongside of this comes the question as to what was the literary craftsmanship of the author. Was he an educated man, and, if educated, what was the background of his culture?" Mr. Richards indicated very clearly that a recent study of the book had given him a great deal of satisfaction after some years of working for the realization of this satisfaction. The waiting was not in any sense due to any failure to appreciate the spiritual values of the book because, whoever wrote it and when, it is recognized that in the book there is a spiritual in- sight which is unique, he said. Mr. Richards said that the greatest value that has come to him from a study of the book is an increased sense that religion is present and in- sistent, and he believes that out of the study of the book by the class, this same impression should be mul- tiplied in the minds of many of the members of the class. One of the most pitiable things in all life is the feeling that religion is validated only in some very remote point in the future and that in between it has no vital im- portance, he declared. The discussion of thg book will be- gin seriously this Sunday and it is hoped by Mr. Richards that many men in the class will read through the first chapter and the last six verses of the last chapter, and the suggestion is made that wherever possible this be done in the text furnished by the Goodspeed translation. The Men's Sunday Morning class meets every Sunday morning in the Community House at 9:30. Everyone in the village is welcome and the class can be highly recommended as a uncertain about their religious bearings place where men who are somewhat can feel quite at home in a very free and frank discussion group. Police Discover Stolen Car With Burglar Tools Winnetka police probably forestalled a burglary early last Thursday morn- ing when they discovered a stolen car with a well equipped bag or burglar tools in it. The car had been abandoned on Bertling lane near Sheridan road about 1 o'clock in the morning, and one of the squads which patrol the streets at night discovered it. Evi- dently the burglars had parked the car while they looked for a house to enter, The car was watched but the men did not return and it was finally taken to the station. According to the records it had been stolen June 3 in Chicago. In spite of a close watch on railroad stations and roads the supposed burg- lars escaped. .
