The polls will be open from 1 to 6 p. m. The candi- dates for election are Ernest S. Bal- lard, for president, Mrs. Gertrude C. Lieber and Barret Conway, for mem- bers of the board. The New Trier Township High school elction will also be held on the same date and at the same hours. The polling place for Winnetka voters in this election is also at the Horace Mann school. William A. McKinney to Address Men's Meeting William Ayer McKinney will speak upon the subject "The Religion for Flappers and Jazz" at a meeting of the men in the American Legion room of Community House, at 9:30 Sunday morning, April 10. The meeting will be followed by an open discussion. The following Sunday, April 17, William A. Hadley will address the group on the subject "The Handi- capped." All men are invited to at- tend the meetings. Union Lenten Services Bring Special Programs The Union services of Christ church, the Scandinavian Evangeli- cal church, and the Winnetka Con- gregational church that have had so large a place in the village dur- ing Lent are to be continued through Holy Week. But during Holy Week the place of meeting will alternate between the Congre- gational church and Christ church. Next Tuesday evening in the Congregational church there will be a devotional service and an ad- dress by the Rev. A. E. Rohrbach and, on Wednesday evening, a similar service at Christ church, the address being given by Dr. J. W. F. Davies. Thursday evening the three churches will unite at the Congre- gational church for the observance of the Lord's Supper with the min- isters of all the churches co-operat- ing in the service. Friday evening in Christ church the united choirs from the different parishes will sing Dunley Buck's "The Story of the Cross." All these services are open to our community. Indian Hill Group Will Choose New Officers April 11 The Indian Hill Improvement asso- ciation, which is now closing a most successful year, will hold the last meet- ing of the season on Monday evening, April 11, at which time candidates for next year's offices will be nominated and election held. The members will also discuss a question which came before the Win- netka Village council a few weeks ago, relative to making either a park or a filling station site of the triangular piece of ground at the intersection of Church road with the new through highway. Both are important matters and it is the desire of the officers of the association that there be a large at- tendance of the members. Bridge will be played following the business ses- sion. Thousand Dollars Cleared in Horace Mann School Bazaar It seems that most of Winnetka crowded into the halls of the Horace Mann school last Wednesday at the bazaar which was held under the au- snices of the Parent-Teacher associ- ation for the purpose of raising money to purchase equipment for the manual training department. Probably the largest number of people in the his- tory of the Winnetka schools to turn out on a like occasion, were in evi- dence, and at the close of the day it was found that more than $1,000 had been cleared. The parents, teachers and children of the school had been at work for weeks in advance of the event and as a result ,an opportunity was offered to the public to purchase almost any type of hand made article, from doily sets to pewter dishes and kitchen Kits. Practically every room was outfitted with booths and the wares were on display in quantities that would make a department store modest in compari- son. In addition to these a number of entertainments were given by the chil- dren and refreshments of all types were sold. "How Shall We Interpret Suffer- ing?" will be the subject of a sermon by Rev. T. A. Goodwin at the evening service of the Winnetka Congrega- tional church Sunday, April 10. NEW OFFICIALS TAKE THEIR POSTS OF DUTY Tokens of Appreciation Given to Retiring Members of Winnetka Village Council More than 1,500 votes were polled at the annual village election in Win- netka last Tuesday, in spite of the fact that there was but one ticket in the field. There was opposition, however, for the office of Village Marshal and Col- lector, and organized effort to defeat a proposition to vote not to exceed a two-mill tax for a municipal band re- sulted in revoking more than the or- dinary interest in the balloting. The band proposition was defeated better than five to one. The Only ition Theodore Flynn, who has held the office of Marshal and Collector for fourteen years and who was re-nomi- nated on the regular Village ticket, was opposed by Adam Scott, who ran on an independent ticket. Scott re- ceived 360 votes, against 1273 polled for Flynn. The name of Lee Adams, who was a candidate for the nomina- tion for this office at the caucus, was written in on one ballot, and Norman K. Anderson and John Vennema each received one vote for trustee. H. F. Tenney, for president, re- ceived 1510 votes. The other officials elected by similar votes, were Doris B. Benson, H. L. Raclin and Walter A. Strong, for trustees; W. E. David treasurer: Byron A. Nelson, police magistrate, and Mary Miller, William A. Hadley and H. A. de Windt, library trustees. Take Oath of Office The retiring members of the village board completed their official duties Tuesday evening, following which the newly elected members took the oath of office. President Tenney did not announce the organization of the new council. It is probable the committee organi- zation will be announced at the next meeting of the council on the evening of April 19. Tokens of appreciation were given to President John S. Miller, who is leaving office after eight years' service, and to Mrs. Benjamin F. Langworthy, retiring from the village board after serving five years as trustee. President Miller was presented a three volume set of a rare edition of a history of Royal Palaces in England, a valuable and very highly appreciated addition to his splendid library. The presenta- tion speech was made by Mrs. Ben- jamin F. Langworthy, on behalf of the members of the Board, who have served with him, and the executive officers of the village. Mrs. John N. VanderVries and a number of other members of the Win- netka Women's League of Voters, spoke in appreciation of the service of Mrs. Langworthy and presented her with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. BUILDING FUND CHAIRMAN The Winnetka Congregational church has appointed Arlan W. Con- verse as treasurer of the * Church Building fund.
