February 18, 1928 WINNETKA: TALK 7 LEGION TO HEAR OF AFRICAN GAME FIELDS F. S. Colburn to Show Movies Taken in Jungle Wilds at Post Meeting Monday At the next regular meeting of Win- netka Post, No. 10, American Legion, the speaker of the evening will be F. S. Colburn, who will give a talk rela- tive to his most recent expedition into the African game fields. He has returned with both motion and still pictures, taken personally during a very extensive trip. The meeting will be held in the Post's club rooms at Community House Monday evening, February 20, beginning at 8:15 o'clock, and, it is felt, should prove one of the most in- teresting programs of the winter sea- son. It was previously planned to send a delegation to Great Lakes hospital February 19. The Post, however, is receiving a number of suits and over- coats, and, in the belief that more of this needed equipment will come in, the members have delayed their trip untl Sunday, February 26. The Legion members are very thankful to citizens of the Village who have responded. to the call for clothing for the disabled veterans. Harold Voltz, service officer of the Post, telephone Winnetka 1455, will be very glad to pick up any clothing offered in this connection, it is an- nounced. It is to be hoped that all members of the Post and ex-service men living in the village, even though they are not members of the American Legion, i attend the meeting on February Bloom High School Student Wins Preliminary Contest An elimination contest in which the suburban High school student who will speak in the annual Union League club Washington Birthday contests at the Medinah temple was chosen, was held at New Trier High school last Tuesday afternoon.
