WINNETKA TALK January 7, 1928 CHEVROLET Bigger and Better See the New Chevrolet - Now on Display! Built on a 107" wheelbase--4'" longer than before--the Bigger and Better Chevrolet is impressively large, low and racy. Fashionable new colors in genuine Duco, rich new upholsteries and handsome appointments lend an air of not- able distinction; while a type of big car performance once thought impossible in a low-priced car has been achieved by numerous engineering advancements. The chassis has been redesigned. And as a result, the new Chevrolet provides delightful smoothness--click-of-the-heel acceleration--the ability to maintain 50, 55 and 60 miles an hour--the safety of four-wheel brakes--the steering ease that can only result from a ball bearing worm and gear steering mechanism--and comfort over all roads at all speeds, due to semi-elliptic shock absorber springs-- 84% of the wheelbase. We urge you to come in--see this beautiful new car--and learn how Chevrolet has again electrified America by creat- ing a Bigger and Better motor car and offering it at prices so low as to be actually amazing.

The personnel of the Black & White team is made up principally of former members of the Black & White foot- ball team which made such a splendid record in that sport during the past season. The game will be played Sunday morning at 11 o'clock at Indian Hill, and because of the experienced play- ers comprising both teams, promises to be a most interesting event. The Black & White team is now negotiating bookings for games with the Hubbard Woods, Lake Shore Country club and the Indian Hill Country club teams. The members of the Black & White team are, E. Flynn, T. Abbott, P. Runnfeldt, George Rudolph, Tedd Ball and E. Belmont. ; Mrs. C. T. Moon to Speak at Sunday Evening Club At the meeting of the Winnetka Sunday Evening club, January 8 at 6 o'clock, Mrs. Charles T. Moon, of the Chicago council of social agencies, will speak on "Community Organiza- tion for Social Service." Miss Marie Eckart will give several piano solos. ON JURY FOR PAINTINGS Allen Philbrick, 982 Elm street, has been chosen one of the five members of the jury of award by the Union League club to select the prize paint- ings in the exhibition and competition being conducted by the club. The re- quirements for entries are that the painting must be suitable for hanging in a high school, and the artist may not be over 30 years of age. The ex- hibit will continue until January 12. Villages Oppose Limit Put on Debt Incurring Powers The Winnetka Village council at its meeting last Tuesday evening, was to consider a resolution to be forwarded to Governor Len Small requesting that there should not be included in his call for a special session of the state legislature the subject relative to changing the debt-incurring powers of municipalities having a population under 300,000. The resolution had been prepared by Village Manager H. I. Woolhiser for presentation to the council, Tuesday evening, but the Governor's call, issued that day, included the very thing ob- jected to in the resolution, hence the document was not presented. Last December 21 the Illinois Su- preme court held invalid section three of the Juul law limiting the debt in- creasing powers of municipalities under 300,000 population to two and one-half percent of the full value of the property within the corporate limits. This, it is explained, means that now the debt-incurring powers of all such municipalities has been doubled over those enjoyed prior to July 1, 1927, and that it is now five percent of the full value. Certain forces in the state, it is said, which do not understand municipal problems, prevailed upon Governor Small to have him include the matter of limiting the bonding powers of municipalities as a subject for consid- eration by the special session of the legislature this month. Mr. and Mrs. Lyman Huff, 945 Elm street, entertained twenty guests at their home Friday evening, December 30. The early evening was spent in dancing and a supper was served at 12 o'clock. A WINTER VACATION WITH Sunny Days-Crisp Nights At Los Cerros in New Mexico New Mexico winters are mild and sun- shiny, but without the too-constant temperature of semi-tropical resorts. Nights are crisp for sound sleep, days brightened by brilliant sun. At Los Cer- ros, a modern Ranch Resort just two miles from Santa Fe, a winter vacation becomes a jolly round of horseback rides, motor trips over broad highways to quaint Indian pueblos and Mexican villages, colorful nights before roaring. open fires. The most fascinating country in Amer- ica opens to your explorations from this picturesque and comfortable old rancho.
