Ww April 9, 1927 WINNETKA TALK PROLONG COMMUNITY HOUSE FUND CAMPAIGN Governors Urge Subscribers Not to Delay With Their Pledges for 1927 Budget The Governors of Community House have asked the WinNETKA TALK to an- nounce that upwards of $5,000 for 1927 maintenance has been pledged by a considerable number of both old and new subscribers. There are still many regular contrib- utors to Community House support, who have not sent in their pledges for this vear. The Governors believe this is a matter of oversight rather than lack of interest, inasmuch as Commun- ity House is being used more inten- sively than ever before. They are anxious to avoid organizing a personal campaign, as they feel that the back- ing for the annual support of Commun- itv House is very strong and very widely spread. Any Amount Welcome Former subscribers are, therefore, urged to send in their pledges indicat- ing the time at which they will make their subscriptions. Those who have not formerly subscribed for the annual maintenance of Community House, are assured that any amount, small or large, will be received gratefully by the finance committee. The request comes from the finance committee of the board, consisting of George D. Wolf, treasurer, A. E. Bry- son, Harry N. Gottlieb, and S. Bowles King, chairman. Pledges or checks should be made out to Community House and mailed to Mrs. J. D. Pierce, assistant treasurer, at Community House, Winnetka.

LEAGUE OF VOTERS TO HOLD ANNUAL MEETING Child Welfare Department Will Have Charge of Program for Meeting on April 11 The annual meeting of the Win- netka League of Women Voters will be "held April 11 at the Community House. Mrs. William Gold Hibbard, national director of the fourth region, will give greetings from the national league. Mrs. Maurice Lieber, legis- lative chairman, will report on the work of the legislature. Mrs. John N. VanderVries, president of Winnetka league, will give her annual message. A summary of the year's work will be distributed at each place, instead of having the committees' reports read. The program will be under the child welfare committee, - of which Mrs. Charles R. Strong is chairman. Miss Anne Davis, of the vocational guidance department of the Chicago public schools, will be the speaker of the day. Because of her experience, it is be- lieved that she will be able to treat this subject well. The welfare work in the league is for the benefit of future Illinois citizens. 3 1ll-Educated Lose Out There is a vicious circle of work beginning for those who leave school at sixth grade and who have tempor- ary relief from poverty, to reach adult- hood ignorant, lacking further oppor- tunity and begin the labor again with the new generation. The child welfare committee believes that at least eighth grade education should be required. Twenty-seven organizations, such as the Chicago Woman's club; the Tlli- nois Council of Parent-Teacher Asso- ciations, and the League of Women Voters, is back of this movement. From statistics it has been proven that the child who goes through college and . begins work at 22, earns three times as much as one who does not go to college. We should be interested in protecting the children of Illinois from conditions that other states do not endure. Nominate Officers The nominating committee of the league presents the following nominees for office for the new year: president, Mrs. John Vander Vries; first vice- president, Mrs. A. Montague Ferry: second vice-president, Mrs. George E. Frazer; corresponding secretary, Mrs. John R. Montgomery; recording secretary, Mrs. D.
