Mrs. Ickes spoke at a meeting of Maywood women in the Maywood Congregational church on March 7. The Republican primary is scheduled for Tuesday, April 10. "Our aim," Mrs. Ickes said, "should be to go to the primaries and select candidates who will bring good gov- ernment, honest government, and im- partial government to our very doors. Vote for these officials and when they get into office, follow their work. If they take a position you don't under- stand, write and ask them why. If they don't measure up to their prom- ises, see to it that they are not re- elected. If the promises are fulfilled, see to it that their makers are put back into office again." Represents "Home" In speaking of her own attitude, Mrs. Ickes said that she sought first of all to represent the home and its interests. This, she pointed out, meant better educational facilities, adequate bonding power for the small Cook county communities in order that they may install adequate improvements for their rapidly increasing populations, and protection for the home against all influences which menace its welfare. Both Mrs. Ickes and her husband, Harold L. Ickes, are well known to north shore residents while the Ickes' dahlia garden, ffonting on Tower road in Winnetka, is known to every mo- torist and pedestrian who 'has passed during the late summer and autumn when these flowers are at their best. One of the Ickes seedlings, the "Anna Wilmarth Ickes," has been awarded a certificate of merit by the American Dahlia society. Residents Here 12 Years The Ickes family has lived in Win- netka since 1916. Mrs. Ickes is a past president of the Chicago Woman's club, a member of the Winnetka Wo- man's club and of the Fortnightly, and made her debut as a public official four years ago when she was elected a member of the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois on the Re- publican ticket. Mrs. Ickes is also on the Board of Managers of the Chicago Regional Planning association, and for several years was secretary of the Chicago Home for the Friendless. North Shore Students in N. U.
