Re February 11, 1928 WINNETKA TALK DR. CARL M. BLOCK OPENS MISSION WEEK Leader in Episcopal Denomina- tion Conducts "Preaching Mis- sion" in Christ Church Sunday, February 12, will mark the beginning of a week's Preaching Mis- sion in Christ church, an annual event established in the parish several years ago. Arrangements for this year's series of special observances have been made by the Rev. E. Ashley Gerhard, rector, who has secured Dr. Karl Morgan Block, rector of the Church oi St. Michael and All Angels, St. Louis, Mo., as Missioner. The value of these missions has been thoroughly established in Christ church, and they have been welcomed with increasing enthusiasm by the peo- ple of the parish and community gen- erally. Dr. Block, as previously announced in WINNETKA TALK, is one of the younger generation of Episcopal church leaders whose outstanding services give rich promise for the future of any cause in which they may be enlisted. He is a native of Washington, D. C., a graduate of George Washington uni- versity, and of the Theological sem- inary at Alexander, Va. Has Broad Experience His first work in orders was as chap- lain at the Woodberry Forest school in Virginia. Later he was rector of Grace church, Haddonfield, N. J., where he served until the outbreak of the World war when he entered the military ser- vice as a chaplain and served through- out the period of the war. Following the armistice he was made rector of All Saints' parish, Norristown, Pa, in which post he continued until 1920, when he became rector of St. John's church, Roanoke. There he remained until called to his present charge in St. Louis. Dr. Block is actively identified with most of the important movements of the Episcopal church although his par- ticular interests lie in the work for young people and in the promotion of the church's program under the Field department of the National council. Two Services Tomorrow Dr. Block will-open his Mission at the 11 o'clock service tomorrow. In the evening he will have supper with the young people and address them at 6:30 o'clock, immediately after which he will preach at the evening service in the church at Sheridan road and Hum- boldt avenue, at 8 o'clock. The Mission will continue through the week until Friday evening. On each day there will be a Bible class at 10 a. m., a class in Personal Religion at 3:30 p. m., and an evening Preach- ing service at 8 o'clock. All of these week-day meetings and services will be held in the chapel. The men of the parish will particu- larly be interested in a dinner which will be held in the Parish House Mon- day evening, February 13, preceding the evening preaching service, at which they will have the opportunity of meeting Dr. Block personally. = The dinner begins at 6:30 o'clock. Joe Lucchesi, President of the Triangle Club Officers for the ensuing year were elected Monday evening by the Tri- angle club. Joe Lucchesi is president; Vernon Eckart, vice-president; Mau- rice Thomas, secretary: Tom Edwards, treasurer; Jack McFadzean, warden and James McFadzean was re-elected publicity manager. MUSIC CLUB MEETS The Senior Music club of New Trier High school met Thursday, Febru- ary 9, at the home of John Clore, 654 Cherry street, Winnetka. Help Give Them a Chance to Live! OST Winnetkans are Winnet- kans because of their interest in the welfare of their children. They come here, or have remained here, because they believe that this is an exemplary community for their chil- dren to grow up in, wholesome social- ly and ranking high in its educational advantages. Therefore, the people of Winnetka are vitally interested in any move for the benefit of children, and are easily reached by the appeal of needy babies in our nearby city. The wom- en of Chicago and its environs raised $105,000 during 1927° to aid the city board of the Infant Welfare society in its work for the infantsand small children of the very poor. A great enthusiasm stimulates the work of these women, for they believe that they are doing a lasting thing in giving these babies a better physical start in life. The nurse at any of the stations will often run into a case like the following which occurred to one of the mothers at our own station at the Chicago Commons: Three times this mother had despaired in caring for a child whom she could not feed. Each time the child faded from lack of nourishment and the mother went to her neighbors with the question, "What can I do?" Each time a well- meaning friend gave her a bottle of medicine which she used--and lost her baby. Finally a fourth baby arrived and was fast following in the footsteps of his predecessors when the mother happened to appeal to one who said, "Take him to the Commons. There, at the Infant Welfare clinic, a nurse will show you what to do." And this baby lived. : Pre-natal care is given the mothers at our station, for Winnetka proudly supports a full station, and the care of the tiny infant is directed by our visit- ing nurse, and then later, until the child is six and in school, the watchful eye of the Infant Welfare nurse super- vises its habits and feeding. Surely this is appealing to all the more fortunate parents of Winnetka! The Winnetka board is now underwav in its campaign for 1928 and hopes to reach every possible contributor so that this year may be a record one in reaching the quota of $7,900 in a very short time. The new president, Mrs. Ballard Bradley, is giving a luncheon at her home Monday, Feb- ruary 20, when the board members hope to bring in an excellent report of the fruit of their individual efforts toward the year's goal. Zoning Committee Receives Another Plea for Change Few committees of the Winnetka Village council are having more work to do these days than are the members of the Plats and Zoning committee, of which Trustee Doris D. Benson is chairman. Following closely on the heels of the controversy over the petition of the Pennsylvania Oil company, for an oil filling station in Hubbard Woods, and the long drawn out discussion regard- ing the proposed amendment relative to business and apartment buildings, comes a request to change the zoning of another section of the village. It came, last Tuesday evening, in the form of a petition signed by six prop- erty owners on the south side of Oak street, between Chestnut and Birch streets, asking that this section be changed from its present zoning, "A" residence, to "B" residence. In other words, they desire to build two-family residence properties here. At present there are only a few lots in fie village which are so zoned, it is said. If the council committee decides that the petition involves a question which should have serious consideration, the next step will be -the preparation and introduction of an ordinance, at the next meeting of the council, following which the matter will then be referred to the Zoning commission for a public hearing. : Authorize More Bonds for Library Addition The issuance of $5,000 additional li- brary bonds was authorized by the Win- netka Village council Tuesday evening, to provide funds for the completion of the addition to the Public Library. The previous issue was $63,000, the author- ized increase Tuesday evening making a total of $68,000. The total amount au- thoriped by the referendum last June, was $75,000. LIBRARY CLOSED MONDAY The Winnetka Public Library will be closed all day Monday, February 13, commemorating Lincoln's birthday, which falls on Sunday this year. VOTERS LEAGUE WILL HEAR DR. ISAAC ABT Noted Specialist and President of the Chicago Medical So- ciety at Meeting Feb. 13 Dr. Isaac Abt, president of the Chi- cago Medical society, has been se- cured to address the Winnetka League of Women Voters at its regular lunch- eon meeting Monday, February 13. Winnetka clubs and churches have specialized this month on programs dealing with the health and education of children. Dr. Abt, who is a national- ly known pediatrician, in his discussion of "The Conditions which affect the health and growth of children," will contribute largely to these programs. The Child Welfare committee of the league, with Mrs. Francis A. Lackner as chairman, is handling the program. Due to the fact that Dr. Abt must leave on an early train the time of the luncheon has been advanced to 12:15, and it will be held as usual in Rudolph Matz hall. Introduces Speaker Dr. C. A. Aldrich of Winnetka will introduce Dr. Abt. His talk will be followed by an address by C. U. Wil- liams, superintendent of the Illinois Children's Home and Aid Society, on "The Neglected Children of Illinois." The fact that this society served 5,017 children during the past year should make the account of the work of Mr. Williams unusually interesting. Mrs. Cecil F. Baker will be in charge of the luncheon arrangements. Mrs. William G. Kelly, chairman of the 24th precinct, and her block captains will have charge of the service. Guests of Honor Guests of honor at the meeting from outside Winnetka will be Mrs. Isaac Abt and Mrs. Alfred D. Kohn, state chairman of child welfare and their vice-president of the Illinois League of Women Voters. From Winnetka special guests will be Mrs. A. Ballard Bradley, chairman of the Winnetka Branch of the Infant Welfare; Mrs. Robert Biddle, Win- netka chairman for Arden Shore; Mrs. Walter Benson, chairman of the Health committee of the Village council; Mrs. Florence Capron of the National Kin- dergarten college; Mrs. Dwight Green, president of the Winnetka Parent- Teacher association, and Mrs. George Lee. Education chairman of the Win- netka Woman's club. Play Winnetka Composer's Work in Recital Thursday Raymond Allyn Smith, organist and choir director at the Winnetka Con- gregational church, will have the dis- tinction of having one of his compo- sitions played at the Woman's club next Thursday evening when Mrs. Velona Brewer, violinist, and Walter Spry, pianist, give the third and final nf their series of Historical recitals. The composition will have its first pub- lic rendition with Mr. Smith playing the accompaniment for Mrs. Brewer. Postmasters Conduct Parley at Highland Park The February meeting of the Lake County and North Shore Postmas- ters' association was held at Highland Park, Tuesday evening.
