| November 27, 1926 WINNETKA TALK WINNETKA WOMEN WIN HOCKEY TEAM PLACES Five Local Players Selected in Try-outs for First Inter-sec- tional Woman's Team Winnetka and the Winnetka Hockey team are well represented on the Mid- West Woman's Hockey team, which has been inaugurated this fall, the first inter-sectional Woman's Hockey team. Try-outs, and intersectional games were held last week-end, November 19, 20 and 21 at Washington Park in Chicago. Mrs. Lewis Taylor, goal, Mrs. Henry Tenney, left full back, and Miss Peggy Waidner, right inside, all made the first Mid-West team. Miss Margaret Delay qualified for left wing on the second Mid-West team, and Mrs. Thomas McLaren was chosen as one of the six substitutes. The first practice for the team will be held next Sunday, Novemk=r 28 at Washington park. The games held at Washington park last week-end, were exceptionally fast, and proved that the teams were in practice. Friday, the First All-Chicago team defeated Battle Creek 3-1, and the Second All-Chicago tied St. Louis 3-3. Saturday, the Second All-Chicago played an extra half-hour to decide the tie, and defeated St. Louis 2-1. The First All-Chicago defeated Urbana 7-0, and the Second All-Chicago tied Madi- son 2-2. This last game proved to be the most exciting one of the day, for the Chi- cago team held Madison 2-{ until the last 5 seconds of the game. Between the time the referee's whistle blew and the umpire's whistle blew, the quick Madison girls shot a goal, tieing the score. Chicago Defeats Madison Sunday decided the Madison and Second team's tie, the Wisconsin team defeating the Chicago girls 2-1. The other games on Sunday included the defeat of Madison by the First All- Chicago team, 5-2, and the Second team's tie game with Urbana, 1-1, and Battle Creek's defeating Weedana- check 3-1. Following these games, which were played rapidly, the judges called a few practice games, and then announced the two teams and the six substitutes to be known as the first and second Mid-West team. The schedule for the games to be played at Baltimore is as follows: Fri- day, December 3, at 11 o'clock, the Mid-West team will meet the South- east team; at 1:30, the Southeast team will play the Northeast team; and at 3 o'clock the Mid-West will meet the Northeast team. Saturday, December 4, at 11 o'clock the losers of Friday's games will play and at 2:30 o'clock the winners will play Miss Roberts' team of English coaches. On Sunday, December 5, at 2:30, the United States 1926 team will play Miss Roberts' team of English coaches. Fol- lowing the series of games held on Friday and Saturday, the 1926 United States team will be chosen. Women Play Husbands To keep in practice for this stren- uous schedule, which may include the five members of the Winnetka team who made either the first or second teams, the Winnetka team played a Husband's team, Thursday morning, November 25, at 9:45 o'clock at the Country Day school field. Anyone who thinks that golfing hus- bands can't play hockey is sadly mis- taken, for many a wicked swing and mean shot was made, keeping the women's team on their toes. And it is suspected that stray hockey conversa- _ tion the wives indulged in was picked (Continued on Page 45) No blessings they should To bring to earth sweet The Joy of Shadows (Written for Winnetka Memorial Campaign) Forth they all went with faces bright, Out from the sunshine into night, To fight for right and never cease Till to the world they brought true peace. And we at home, we hid our fears, Only in secret shed our tears, That we could give, when they came back. And some came back, but some they lay In 'Flanders' Fields" for aye, for aye, Who bravely fought to do their mite We'll raise to them a tribute true With high mast mounting in the blue, Bearing the flag for which they died Their names below it side by side.

ELIZABETH LINCOLN OTIS ever lack peace and right. Corrective English New Class at Community House In addition to the many classes al- ready meeting at the Community House, there is to be added another which will be of interest to north shore people. On December 8, in Room 4 of Com- munity House, a corrective English class, for those who have neglected their education in this respect, of writ- ten and spoken English is to be started by Miss Helen Boyce of Highland Park. People who are interested in im- proving their ability to speak English, and to learn the better use of English, in order to avoid errors which stamp one as illiterate, and mothers who wish to keep up with their children are in- vited to attend. This class is not being conducted particularly for foreigners, but for busy mothers and people with a little leisure time. Letter writing and forms of social correspondence for everyday use and corrective oral expression will be included in the course. There will be a nominal charge made depending upon the" size of the class, which will meet once a week. Home for Friendless Gets Food from Church School Five bushels of apples, six large cases of canned food, soups, vegetables and fruit, and two good-sized cases of jellies, jams and preserves were pack- ed up Sunday night, and sent to the Chicago Home for the Friendless. The annual Harvest Home festival, which is celebrated each Thanksgiv- ing time by the Church school of the Winnetka Congregational church, was held Sunday, November 21. The donations go to this home which provides "temporary care for destitute women and 250 children at the home for race or creed." There are fifty woemn and 250 children at the home at the present time. Former Winnetka Women Injured in Auto Crash Mrs. Victor Elting, of the Lake Shore Drive hotel and Mrs. Henry Hollis, of Chicago, also a former resi- dent of Winnetka, were seriously in- jured in an automobile accident, Mon- day evening, on Lake Shore Drive, Chicago. They are at St. Luke's hos- pital. Mrs. Hollis suffered a fractured rib and 2ss. Hollis' hip is fractured. Friendship Circle Sponsors Dance on Saturday, Dec. 11 A successful bunco and dancing party was given Tuesday evening, No- vember 23 at 8:30 o'clock, in the Com- munity House, by the Girls' Friendship circle. Eighteen tables of bunco were pres- ent, and together with the group danc- ing, there were more then 100 at the affair. Under the direction of Miss Peggy Nord, who is social chairman, refresh- ments were served, and later in the evening the prizes were awarded.

Phone Wilmette 2399 WINNETKA AND GLENCOE SUPPORT MISSION WORK Onward Mission in Chicago's Most Congested Foreign Area Aided by Local Churches By OBSERVER More than 3,000 men, women and children each month are making use of Onward Mission, the neighborhood house in the Melting Pot district of Chicago which is supported jointly by Winnetka Congregational church and Glencoe Union church. With the third year of active par- ticipation by the local church well un- der way, Onward is finding its limited facilities in such demand that it is al- most impossible to supply the demand Jor room. Waiting lists are being es- tablished for educational groups; overflow meetings are held daily in an apartment which has been rented for workers, and every nook and cranny of the three rooms which constitute the neighborhood house is filled. Onward Mission is located at 608 N. Leavitt street in the heart of the great Italian district of Chicago near Chicago avenue and Western. Like a trip to a foreign land is an excursion into the neighborhood, where the ideas, customs, and morals of Italy prevail, and respect for the law, government, and ideals of this country is at low ebb. Job of Americanization Within the compass of sixteen square blocks live fully 15,000 people-- congested, overflowing, with three, four and five families often in a single house. It is far from a prosperous part of Chicago, and yet the problem which is faced by the two full-time and four part-time workers who constitute the force at Onward Mission is not one of charity so much as Americanization. With immigration to this country re- stricted for the first time, cities like New York and Chicago have their first real opportunity to do something about the indigestion in our American civili- zation which great groups of foreigners cause where they congregate in large cities. Living by themselves because of their natural gregariousness, it is difficult to bring the influence of Amer- ican life to bear. Suggest Tour Through Area And yet, a trip through this famous wine-making district where nearly every basement has it wine press, where the law of the gun is more re- spected than the law of the courts, where children learn while they tod- dle that what they steal they will not have to earn . ... a trip through such a district is evidence that some definite, positive move must be made by for- ward looking citizens if these people are to be assimilated into America and made a worthwhile factor in our popu- lation. Onward Mission is the type of answer which is being developed for this problem. It is not charity; it is education. It does not seek to impress, but to guide. It does not start with religion, but with the every day in- terests and needs of the people. It aims to teach by example rather than precept. It tries to help these people to help themselves--first, to generate ideals, and then show how they may be applied. There could be no surer testimonial to the correctness of the method than the experience with one of the mothers' classes at Onward Mission. A year ago, the group was organized. Possibly fifteen Italian women attended week after week, and a program of talks and discussions was laid out for them.
