Banking Hours eight to three; Saturdays eight to 12:30 Monday evenings seven to eight WINNETKA TRUST and SAVINGS BANK Village Provides Free Parking on Village Hall Lot| The vacant property just south of the new Village hall and which was formerly occupied by the Village serv- | {ice yard, has been designated by the Village council as a free municipal parking space, where cars may be parked for an unlimited period, and at night, without lights. This space has been provided, it is said, because it is felt by the Village that there is considerable demand for a safe place to park cars without re- striction, in order that parking regula- tions in the congested business district may be more conveniently observed by the general public. The new parking space is 100 by 125 feet, with entrance on Oak street, and it is estimated that fifty or more cars may be parked here at a time. It is requested that the public co- operate with the Police department in preventing congestion on the streets, by refraining from parking more than the three hour limit now in effect, by using the new position now provided and by the careful observance of all traffic regulations by the state and village. Mrs. William S. Crowley of Sewanee, Tenn., is visiting her sister, Mrs. Randolph Buck of 1290 Scott avenue.

OPERA STAR BOOSTS NURSERY SCHOOL PLAN Madame Augusta Lenska, Con- tralto of Civic Opera Company Gives Concert Monday Madame Augusta ILenska, contralto of the Chicago Civic Opera company, arrived from Europe Wednesday of last week after an interesting and de- lightful summer spent in Paris and northern Italy. The song program she is to give Monday evening at the Sko- kie school, as outlined by Madame Lenska, promises well to music lovers. The concert is to be given as a benefit for the Winnetka Nursery school, un- der auspices of the Winnetka Wo- man's club. In the first group of songs will be an aria from Handel's oratorio, "Sam- son." This aria is almost unknown even to musicians, as it is to be found only in the Chrysander edition of Han- del's work. There will be songs of Wolff, Schubert, "Brangaene's Call" from Tristan and Isolde, a group of Russian songs, and a group of folk songs. Madame Lenska will do these latter in their native languages. She says they interest her especially be- cause they are of course the natural musical expression of the people hand- ed down from father to son long be- fore music was written down. Donating Services Madame ILenska is giving her serv- ices for this Nursery School benefit concert because she is an intelligent and interested student of much in this world besides music. She says that she believes that the nursery school has a real contribution to make to education, that it will make a real addition to the understanding of child psychology, and that eventually it will act as a prevent- ative of crime and mental illnesses through the training and better under- standing of both parents and children. "If you are fond of music" reads a notice, "you are urged to come to the concert. If you are still in doubt as to the significance of the nursery school, and whether or not Winnetka needs one, won't you come to the Winnetka Woman's club Tuesday, November 16, when a full discussion of the subject will be held." Want Congregation to "Talk Back" to Preacher Beginning with the evening service on Sunday, October 31, the Winnetka Congregational church will conduct an interesting experiment of a most dem- ocratic nature. All who care to do so are invited to remain after the benedic- tion for an informal and free discus- sion of the theme of the sermon which Mr. Goodwin announces for that eve- ning: "Is there a substitute for prohi- bition?" In the conviction that the man in the pew often desires a chance to talk back to the preacher, and that 00 | he often has some ideas which deserve to be heard just as much as those of the preacher, this open discussion is being held. On November 7 the same plan will be carried out, permitting all who wish to remain and give their ideas on the theme of the sermon, "What is Chris- tian patriotism?" If these two discussions indicate that there is a real desire for this sort of thing, the plan will be used again whenever the sermon deals with a theme provocative of discussion, it is announced. A $400,000 rose garden at Des Plaines, when fully completed, will be the largest in the world. The number of telephone employes in Illinois equals half the standing Army of the United States. |
