May 28, 1927 WINNETKA TALK WINNETKA IN TRIBUTE TO HERO DEAD MONDAY American Legion in Charge of Memorial Ceremonies Here; Special Service Sunday Plans for the observance of Memor- ial day in Winnetka next Monday have been formulated on a more elah- orate scale perhaps than ever before in the history of the community. The program is under the direction of Winnetka Post No. 10, American Legion, C. Durand Allen, Harold N. Snell, Thomas J. Lynch and J. M. Dickinson, Jr. comprising the com- mittee from that organization in charge of the plans. In addition to the exercises on the Village Commons on Monday, the American Legion is sponsoring a spe- cial service at the Congregational church Sunday evening, May 29, at 7:30 o'clock, in tribute to the men who sacrificed their lives in the service of their country. All ex-service men are urged to attend in uniform, if possible. Judge Charles S. Cutting will make the principal address. There will also be a special musical program by the North Shore Troubador Glee club. Preston Bradley Speaker Dr. Preston Bradley, of the People's Community church, Chicago, will be the speaker of the day on Monday. In addition to the usual impressive cere- monies attending Memorial "day ex- ercises, this year's program in Win- netka will also include the decoration of thé Winnetka Memorial, which is being erected in the Village Common, by Winnetka, in memory of her sons who gave their lives in the World war. The Racine Drum and Bugle corps, one of the most striking organizations of its kind in the country, and the win- ner during three successive years of the American Legion National conven- tion Drum Corps trophy, will precede Winnetka Post, No. 10, American Le- gion, in a parade to the Village Com- mons where an exhibition musical drill will be given as a part of the exer- cises. The Drum Corps will arrive in the | village at one o'clock and will be served dinner at Community House. Assembly at 2:30 P. M. Assembly will be at Community House at 2:30 in the afternoon. Mem- bers of the Post are requested to wear their complete uniform, if possible. This request is made because of the more impressive effect of a uniformed column while marching. The Boys and Girl Scout organizations and the Camp Fire Girls have been invited to participate as they did last year. The graves of those who died in the war and also of those who have died since, will be decorated by the mem- bers of the Post, with a large Legion wreath and an American flag. This will be done the day before Decora- tion day. One comrade will go to Oconomowoc, Wis, to decorate a grave there, and arrangements are being made to decorate the grave of one member of the post who is buried at Arlington National cemetery. Wreaths for Monument Wreaths will be placed on the Win- netka Memorial monument and on the eleven Memorial trees in the village. The order of parade, preceding the ceremonies at the Village Common, will be as follows: Racine Drum and Bugle corps, Winnetka Post No. 10, American Legion, Winnetka Reserve Militia company, Boy Scouts of Amer- ica, Sea Scouts, Pathfinders, Camp Fire Girls, Girl Scouts, and the school children of the fifth and sixth grades.

CHURCH AUTHORIZES BUILDING CAMPAIGN Discussion at Session of Congre- gational Members Culminates in Favorable Ballot In one of the most interesting dis- cussions ever held by members of the Winnetka Congregational ~ church, Wednesday evening, May 25, in Matz hall of the Community House, a reso- lution authorizing a campaign to se- cure funds to build a gothic type church edifice was passed by a con- vincing majority. As voted upon fin- ally by the church body, the resolu- tion read as follows: "Resolved by the church that it au- thorize the Church Building Finance committee to proceed with a financial campaign to raise $650,000 for a new church plant of the general design as submitted by the Church Building committee, with the understanding that the Building Finance committee 1s to report back to the church in the autumn the results of its campaign, at which time the building plan is to be decided." Reviews Progress Lyman L. Weld of 983 Vine street, chairman of the Committee of Twen- ty-One, presented to the church a brief history of the action taken by the church and council regarding the building of a new church. Mr. Weld read from the minutes the action taken since 1921, when the church appointed a development committee to survey the needs of the parish. In 1922 a resolution was passed by the church citing the need for a new buildin and authorizing appointment Of Charles Z. Klauder of-Philadelphia as architect, the Building Plan Commit- 'tee to consider a plan and report back to the church. In 1925 the church in- structed the Building committee to consider a plan and location of ia church plan and, later, in the same | year, the site of the present chure was voted upon as the site for the proposed new church, the seating ca- pacity" of the proposed edifice to 1200. In February 1927 the Building and Finance committees presented the proposed plan to the Church coun 1 and, on Friday, May 20, 1927, the coun- cil passed the above resolution to be presented to the Church for adoption or rejection. The above is a general outline, details being omitted, of the work of the committees, the council, and the resolutions and actions of the church body. ; William C. Boyden, as presiding officer, the presented the resolution as moved by Mr. Weld, as open for dis- cussion. : Burton H. Atwood next presented a group of modifications, suggestions and criticisms concerning the building plan and financing of the plan, con- cluding with an amendment to the resolution that the words "of general design as submitted by the Church Building committee" be stricken out of the resolution. 2 Then followed an animated, discuss sion by various members of the church body, in which the pros and cons of the Gothic type of architecture, as pro- posed were quickly and clearly pre- sented. Everyone was given the op- portunity to speak, and many did speak and in a perfectly frank man- ner. The Atwood amendment was de- feated and the meeting then voted upon the original resolution. The finance committe of the church will inaugurate proceedings immedi- ately looking toward a campaign to raise the necessary amount, and the report will be made tr the church in the autummepsseecs aes
