VOL. 1X, NO. 5 WINNETKA, ILLIN OIS, FEBRUARY 18, 1928 PRICE FIVE CENTS DISCOVER HOW YOUTH BEHAVED IN TUT'S DAY Astonishing Revelations Promised at Square Club's Egyptian Extravaganza by J. F. N. Ye mighty men of Valor; Ye fair ladies of grace, May thee and thine find peace 'neath the veil of Isis; May the deeds of Osiris reflect from thee to the glory of thy Lord and the honor of his kingdom. Far surpassing any of the astonish- ing revelations thus far recorded in connection with the recent explorations along the Nile, are those which now have to do with bringing to light some glimpses of the manner in which the frivolous-minded youth spent their evenings 3,000 years before the age of radio, jazz-bands, picture shows and Jai Alai. The Square club of the Winnetka Masonic temple is arranging to stage a gorgeous reproduction of the splen- dor of Ancient Egypt with its dancing girls, nubian slaves, mystic rites and wierd ceremonies. Make Elaborate Plans Elaborate preparations have been made to present unusual talent all selected locally, together with special scenery and costumes such as are rare- ly seen except in the most costly of stage productions. Mirth, satire, melo- drama, vocal and instrumental num- bers, with plenty of good dancing all blended together amid scenes of fan- tastic beauty and oriental splendor: will make this performance one long to be remembered. And now ye mighty men and fair ladies of the Oasis of the North Shore near the Pyramid of Winnetka, the King sends Greeting: King Summons to Feast Know Ye There That It Delighted The King to Bid Ye All to The An- nual Feast of Entertainment He Has Prepared For His Honored Guests On The Evenings of the 24th and 25th Days of the Second Month at The Pyramid of The Skokie School In The Jane Kuppenheimer Memorial Hall. Seats for both evenings will be re- served. Tickets purchased from mem- bers of the Square club may be ex- changed for reserved seat tickets at Adams Drug store on and after Feb- ruary 18. No tickets will be reserved over the phone, it is announced. Winnetka Girl Wins Post in Research Laboratory Miss Caroline Roberts of 760 Pros- pect avenue, Winnetka, has the honor of being the first girl to receive an assistantship in the Research Labor- atory of the Physics Department of the University of Chicago. Miss Roberts, a former New Trier High school student, was graduated from Smith college last June, having been awarded the Sophia Smith Honorary Fellowship for study in Physics at that institution. For the past year she has continued her studies at the University of Chicago where she will serve in her new capacity for the coming two years. Indian Hill Backs Our Village Board by Confidence Vote Indian Hill residents affiliated with the Indian Hill Improvement associa- tion, are on record as solidly endors- ing the Village council. This attitude was indicated in a unanimous expres- sion of confidence voiced at the re- cent February meeting of the asso- ciation following a talk by President William S. Nordburg of the associa- tion, in which he assured the members that the Village council, laboring un- ceasingly and without compensation, in the interests of the community, was deserving of such an expression. President Nordburg, who has at- tended many council sessions as a spectator, and who was especially in- terested in the recent deliberations relative to the proposed amending of the Zoning ordinance to reduce the number of families permissible per acre in the village, emphasized to the association members the vast amount of work constantly coming before the council. This faithful attention to duty he characterized as worthy of more than casual notice. While dif- ferences of opinion are bound to exist regarding council decisions, he said, no villager can justifiably ascribe to the council president and members any but the loftiest motives, and those in the best interests of the community as a whole. The members at the February meet- ing sealed President Nordburg's talk with a vote of confidence in the Vil- lage council. The association also unanimously approved resolutions pre- sented by Mr. Nordburg, and endors- ing the amendment to the Zoning law, copies of which had been presented to the Village ciuncil and the Zoning commission. President Nordburg announced that the Skating fund campaign conducted by the association through the columns of WinnerkA TALK several weeks ago was an unqualified success. Funds received were quite sufficient to main- tain the Indian Hill rink and a sur- plus for next season will probably re- sult in view of the unusually warm weather during most of the current season. Hubbard Woods Library to Get Bazaar Proceeds Plans for the huge Hubbard Woods school bazaar, which is to take the form of a travel exposition and the proceeds of which will be devoted to the purchase of books for the school library now being organized, are well under way. The date for the affair has been set for March 28. Each room will be turned into a scene representing some country dur- ing the bazaar, and a program of folk songs and dances will be pre- sented in each one. Food and articles fypica] of each country will also be sold. Horace Mann Children Fete Teacher at Party A surprise birthday party was given by the children of the sixth grade of the Horace Mann school for their teacher, Miss Julia C. Krenwinkel, last Thursday afternoon. Among the pres- ents received by Miss Krenwinkel were a cake and a pot of flowers. Tells of Africa The Rev. Titus Johnson, founder of the Evangelical Free Church Mission in Belgian Congo, who has been con- ducting a series of evangelistic meet- ings in the First Scandinavian Evan- gelical church, Winnetka, will relate some of his most thrilling experiences from the jungles, at a special service Sunday afternoon at 4:30, in the Scan- dinavian church. Mr. Johnson has sometimes been referred to as "the second Livingstone" because of the pioneer character of his missionary work. He has traveled thousands of miles through the long grasses and jungles of Central Africa, searching for the most strategic base for missionary activities, He has lived together with cannibal tribes, learning their languages and reducing it to writing and translating portions of the Bible for them. said: Quosque tandem arbutere patientia nostra' Which means-- See page 39 DOG RUNS AMUCK; BITES THREE SMALL CHILDREN Invades Two Schools and Com- munity House; Fear Animal Is Rabid A dog, which it is feared is suffer- ing from rabies, invaded the Horace Mann school Wednesday afternoon, bit two little eight year old boys, and later in the day appeared at Community House and nipped another lad in the finger, before the police were able to find and capture the animal. The dog is now at the village pound under observation. Dr. H. A. Orvis, health officer, said he will be unable for a few days to determine definitely if the dog is really suffering from rabies. If it is established that he is afflicted he will be electrocuted. He belongs to Philip J. Hoza, of 554 Arbor Vitae road. Bites Two at School The dog first appeared at the Horace Mann school shortly after noon, where he entered the room in which eight year old Vernon Foster, of 556 Chestnut street is a pupil. Vernon, in an attempt to drive the dog from the room, was bitten in the cheek, and, as the dog ran through the hall towards the door, he bit eight year old Charles Cole, of 468 Ridge avenue, in the right arm. The animal, it appears, next showed ug at Skokie school, but as far as it 1s known did not attack anyone there. Enters Community House In the evening, however, he entered Community House where he bit Bob Fisher, of 388 Chestnut street, on the finger, and also snapped at others as he was driven from the building. It was here that the police were able to cap- ture him. The recent proclamation by President Henry F. Tenney that all dogs running at large in the village should wear muz- zles, is still in effect, yet the village is full of dogs whose masters have ig- nored the order given as a precaution to prevent the spread of rabies among the canine population of Winnetka, it is declared. Local Schools Heads to Attend Boston Meeting Superintendent of schools Carleton Washburne; Miss Hazel Hartwell, principal of the Horace Mann school; Miss Florence Brett, principal of the Greeley school; and Miss Mabel Vogel, of the research department of the Winnetka schools, will leave next Friday for Boston, Mass., where they will attend the National Educational association meeting in that city. Mr. Washburne is scheduled to speak at several of the divisional meetings and will also attend the National Superin- tendents' meeting being held at the same time. N. S. Congregation Israel Dedicates Temple March 2 The new temple of the North Shore Congregation Israel, which has just been completed at Vernon and Lincoln avenues in Glencoe, will be formally dedicated on Friday evening, March 2. At that time special dedicatory serv- ices will be held and the edifice will be inducted into use.
