The Winnetka Branch of the In- fant Welfare society is looking for someone to scatter sunshine--actual- ly, not figuratively. The group wants to install a piece of electrical sun- shine equipment in Chicago Commons for the hundreds of children who come there for a better chance for sound health. What with overcast, dreary, smoke-laden skies, and with streets to take the place of playfields, there is little enough chance for sun- shine for them. This comparatively inexpensive equipment has been used elsewhere to treat as many as 600 children a month. It builds up their bodies, vitalizes their blood streams, so that what food they do receive is made nourishing, and strengthens their constitutions to withstand dis- ease. At the Chicago Commons station, there are at the present time 43 babies who are desperately in need of the sunshine treatment, but since the treatments cost one dollar apiece at the dispensary, neither Infant Welfare nor the individual mother can afford to take the child, consequently they must go without until a machine is given to the station. Mrs. A. Ballard Bradley of the Winnetka branch will be glad to give full particulars to anyone interested in giving this electrical sunshine equipment. Her telephone is Win- netka 966. TO REVIEW BARTON BOOK William Hadley will give a review of Bruce Barton's book, "What Can a Man Believe?" at the Young Peo- ple's Fellowship of Christ church this Sunday evening.

Adiourn Public Hearing on Center St. Widening The public hearing on the proposed widening and paving of Center street from Elm street to Tower road, before the Winnetka Board of Local Improve- ments, Tuesday evening, was adjourn- ed to Tuesdav evening, April 3. Owners of the property north of the Village yards which is zoned"A" resi- dential, opposed the improvements on the oronnds that it would be impossible for them to dispose of their property for residential purposes when located on a highway of this type. Sentiment prevailed that if the territory referred to was rezoned "C" commercial, it was probable that op- position would be removed.
