po. Ei October 30, 1926 WINNETKA TALK HEY, HEY! YOURE T0 BE AT THAT BIG PARTY Everything Is Ship Shape for the Annual Hallowe'en Frolic at Community House Promptly at 7:30 o'clock, tonight Community House will open its doors upon what promises to be the greatest aggregation of spooks, hobgoblins, witches, and other denizens of the nether world ever congregated in the village. The occasion is the annual Hallowe'en party, an event dear to the hearts of Winnetka children, no less than to the adults as well. From the time the doors open, to the closing hour at 10 o'clock, there will not be a dull moment, is the prom- ise of the large and active committee that for days past has been planning the various events of the evening. Magician to Be There There will be a magician who will pull bunnies out of the air, and nickels and dimes out of little boys' noses. There will be a Punch and Judy show depiciting the ever-interesting career of this remarkable couple. There will be a group of six-foot pirates known as Captain Kidd's Buccaneers, whose lair will have a special appeal for the boys. Then, there will be a troupe of gypsy fortune tellers whose occult powers will mystify the most sophisti- cated, while at the same time bring- ing solace to the troubled and lovelorn. There will be two good comic films in the movies, a Chamber of Horrors in the basement, a beautiful tableaux by the Community Players, a grab-bag full of surprises, Hallowe'en stunts galore in the gymnasium, and refresh- ments for everybody. Everything Is Free All this, thanks to the generous supporters of Community House, will be "free gratis" to the hundreds of boys and girls who will participate in the big annual event, which has come to be one of Winnetka's most cher- ished institutions. All those who attend are urged to come A prize will be awarded to the girl having the most unique costume, and another to the boy whose costume is the funniest. "Chief" Davies, Bowles King, and Mrs. Eloise Wortley will act as judges and all entrants for the prizes should report to one of them during the course of the evening. The Hallowe'en party is primarily for the children of the village, but the adults are no less welcome. Be- cause of the large attendance, it is necessary, however, to restrict the age limit to 5 years or older. Sailor Trio Held When Cops Recover Stolen Car Patrolmen H. C. Lewis and Carl Bishop of the Winnetka Police force, recovered a stolen Ford sedan Satur- day night, owned by Henry Jellison, of 2707 North Richmond avenue, Chi- cago. A marine, from the Great Lakes, who gave his name as Charles Ander- son, claimed he owned the car but when the questioning of the officers became too pointed he darted around the Ford and disappeared. Anderson was ac- companied by three sailors. They were returning from Chicago, they said, and at Scott avenue ran out of gas. The sailors were locked up and later turned over to the provost guard, on A. W. O. L. charges. They claim to have merely been riding with Ander- son, but it proved a fateful ride at that, as the three marines were to have left the following Monday morning for San Pedro, Cal, to join the Pacific fleet. in their Hallowe'en costumes. Winnetka Hockey Squad to Clash With Chicagoans The first of the north side hockey games to be played this season will take place out at the Skokie Playfield, Monday afternoon, November 1, at 3:30 o'clock, when the Winnetka Hockey team will meet the North Side team from Lincoln Park, Chicago. The line-up for the Winnetka team contains five members of last year's All-Chicago Hockey squad, as well as six other exceptionally good players. Goal will be played by Mrs. Lewis Taylor, the two fullback positions, left and right, by Mrs. Henry Tenney and Mrs. Emmons Blaine, Jr. the three halfback positions will be filled by Miss Helen Davis, Mrs. Fred Chap- man and Mrs. Norwood, and on the forward line will be Mrs. W. Dow Harvey, Mrs. Hallett Thorne, Mrs. Thomas McLaren, Miss Peggy Waid- ner and Miss Margaret Delay. The substitutes are Miss Luella Burrows, and Mrs. S. C. Haskell. FORESEE BEST YEAR Indian Hill Improvement Association Finds Members Euthusiastic at Sea- son's First Meeting There was enough enthusiasm mani- fest at the first meeting of the season of the Indian Hill Improvement asso- ciation last Monday evening to con- vince the officers of that organization that this is to be its banner year. The meeting next month will be de- voted to numerous affairs pertaining to the welfare of the community, and President Lee Walker and his official associates are hopeful that the resi- dents of the community will turn out as generally as they did last week. The first meeting was given over to a sort of get-together, get-acquainted affair, in which everybody met the of- ficers and the various committee chair- men, and listened to an outline of the aims and objects of the association. President Walker requested a hearty co-operation by every resident of the Indian Hill section with a view of mak- ing this the most successful year the association ever has known. Announcement will be made later of some of the important things which are being planned for the next meet- ing. It has been decided by the asso- ciation to invite an official from some department of the Winnetka village government to speak on his part of the village work, at each of the monthly sessions during the winter. Dancing was an enjoyable feature of the social part of the Monday eve- ning meeting, and for those who did not care to dance, bridge was intro- duced for the first time in the asso- ciation sessions.

ELECTION SLOGAN HERE Women Voters, Wilmette Forum and Izaak Walton League Is- sue Challenge to Voters While actual campaigning by candi= dates in the approaching general elec- tion has been conspicious by its all but total absence on the north shore, it 1s anticipated that a sizeable vote will be polled next Tuesday as the result of effort put forth by various non-par- tisan organizations in New Trier township. Lr Foremost among these organizations that have engaged for several weeks in acquainting the electorate with can- didates and issues, are the Leagues of Women Voters in Wilmette and Win- netka, the Wilmette Forum for 100 Per Cent Voting, and the Winnetka Chapter, Izaak Walton League of Am- erica. The Women Voters' groups. have made it possible for every voter in the township, through the medium of citizenship schools, information in the public press, and candidates' meetings to become thoroughly familiar con- cerning candidates and the various is- sues. The Wilmette Forum has car- ried on an energetic campaign to get out a large vote, and the Izaak Wal- ton league has reiterated its offers of a flag trophy to the village in New Trier that polls the highest pro-rata vote next Tuesday. This flag went to Kenilworth in the Primaries and the rival communities are determined the coveted award shall find a new sanctuary after the votes are counted Tuesday night. Offices Listed Following are the offices which are to be filled at the election: United States Senator, Clerk Supreme Court, Supt. Public Instruction, Representa- tives in Congress, Sheriff, County Treasurer, County Clerk, County Judge, Probate Judge, Clerk Probate Court, Clerk Criminal Court, Clerk Appellate Court, Superintendent of Schools, Members Board of Asses- sors, Member Board of Review, Trus- tees, Sanitary District, President County Commissioners and County Commissioners. Representative Carl Chindbloom is the Republican candidate for Congress again from the 6th district. Three-Cornered Fight Probably the greatest amount of interest in the forthcoming election is centered around the campaign of the three senatorial candidates, Frank Smith, George Brennan and Hugh Ma- gill. The prominent part played by the prohibition issue in the planks of the three candidates has made the race of more than ordinary notice. Magill, who entered the race as an indepen- dent Republican, is championing the dry cause while Brennan, the Demo- cratic hope, is waving the banner of the wets. Smith is a dry also, whose endorsement by the Anti-Saloon league has been a storm center. Relief from motor traffic congestion on 532 miles of main gateway roads in all parts of Cook county is put up to the voters in the $15,000,000 highway widening and emergency construction bond issue proposal. To Equalize License Fees Adoption of the proposal at the polls will release state, county and city funds totaling $32,000,000 for immedi- ate constructive work. Victory for the bond issue will also equalize the use here of automobile license fees that go into the state treasury. The state has promised to refund its legal half of the county money spent in widen- ing and building state aid roads on this program. One of the most modern as well as largest county jails in the country will (Continued on page 52)
