FOOD SALE SUCCESS Despite the very unfavorable wea- ther last Saturday, the sale conducted by the Camp Fire Girls at Community Hcuse was a success from a financial point of view, and sufficient funds were realized to defray their expenses for the next few months. printing ink is just ink until it's combined with an idea: then it begins to bring you profit! just call WILMETTE 4300 ee the Talk? Well, Read This One Several hundred Winnetka school children attended classes with reluctance last Monday while twice that number (figure it out yourself) played just plain "hook- ey." The cause of this unseemly ate titude upon the part of our young hopefuls reposed in an announce- ment in last Saturday's WINNETKA Tak which advised the restless childhood of our fair village that the public schools would be closed Monday to permit the teachers to attend a conference at Waukegan. While WinneErka TALK sincerely regrets this apparent faux pas-- surely the youngsters didn't--it makes bold to state that the "no school Monday" announcement was based upon reliable authority, since the Lake Shore Division of the Il- linois State Teachers' association-- convened at Waukegan last Mon- day--confidently expected Winnet- ka's contingent of instructors to at- tend the sessions. The schools of Wilmette, Kenilworth, and Glencoe were closed throughout the day. But, then, as the wide world knows, Winnetka has a unique school sys- tem. Don't mention it, dear chil- dren. Rotary-Anns Will Dominate Meeting of Chicago Club Mrs. John N. VanderVries of Win- netka is chairman of a luncheon of the Chicago Rotary club to be held Tuesday noon, April 24, in the Grand Ballroom of the Hotel Sherman and which is designated "Feminist or Self- Expression Day" at the regular club meeting. The meeting will be entirely in the hands of the Rotary-Anns, a term applied to the wife, daughter, mother and sister of a Rotarian. Miss Harriet Taylor Upton, Republi- can National Committee-woman from Ohio, will be the principal speaker. The reservations announcement sent out to the Rotary-Anns reads: "Dear Mrs, Van: I will personally deliver my husband 'on the spot' at the Feminists' Day Luncheon of the Rotary club of Chicago, Tuesday noon, April 24, in the Grand Ballroom, Hotel Sherman, or know the reason why, and guarantee we'll be there from 12:10 to 1:45 P. M." John N. VanderVries is president of the Chicago Rotary club. Square Club to Hold Boxing Show April 24 A fine boxing card of seven fast bouts has been arranged for Tuesday evening, April 24, by the Square club of Winnetka Masonic temple to be held in the temple at 708 Elm street. Boxers from Great Lakes and Ft. Sheridan will participate, and because of the intense rivalry between the two training stations an unusually good show is promised. Fach bout will consist of three rounds, and in case of a draw a fourth round will decide the winner. Tickets can be obtained from various members and at Adams and Community Pharm- acies in Winnetka. ARRANGE FINE PROGRAM [FOR BETTER HOMES WEEK Authoritative Speakers to Talk on Topics Pertaining to Building of Homes (Contributed) All normal men and women dream sooner or later of owning their own home; of sitting by their own fire- side; of the joy of planning and build- ing. The Winnetka Better Homes committee wishes to help make that dream come true, by offering during the coming week speakers who are authorities in their line, and who will discuss different phases of the home. In considering the building of a new home or the re-building of an old one, a thousand questions arise: how to finance the venture; what type of house is best suited to the needs of the family, and yet will be the most attrac- tive and the most fitting in its environ- ment; building materials; landscaping; interior furnishings; all these, and many others, call for careful consid- eration and as much expert advice as it is possible to obtain. Sometimes the prospective builder is most bewildered by the multiplicity of things on which he has to make decisions, and about which he knows so little. And the knowledge that on these decisions de- pends much that is important to the convenience, satisfaction and happi- ness of the family increases his long- ing to know what is the best, and where to turn for information. Hold Open Forum It is with these needs in mind that the local committee on Better Homes Week has arranged for the observance of Better Homes week in Winnetka, and is offering to the public an op- portunity to hear what authorities in these different lines have to say. All will have a chance to take part in the discussions following the talks which will be given each evening in Com- munity House. The churches have been asked to observe the occasion in some way from the pulpit, and, insofar as they are able, have arranged to do so. The five o'clock Vesper service in the Con- gregational church on Sunday, April 22, will be arranged with this in mind. Rev. Thomas A. Goodwin will preach on "What Makes a Home?" Mrs. Walter Benson is to speak on Better Homes before the Young Woman's Guild of the Congregational church on April 25 at the home of Mrs. Yates. Information Bureau "A Bureau of Information to help. those who are considering building a home has been arranged for with the Public Library. The committee feels that such a bureau, having impartial,' non-commercial and up-to-date reli- able information on financing, building materials, plans, construction, acces- sories and fixtures, furnishings and landscaping, can be of especial value and interest to young people who are considering building moderate-priced homes. Earl Weinstock is chairman of the committee having this in charge, and is planning to have this informa- tion in shape in the library soon. In addition to the speakers who have already spoken to -the- various organizations at the request of the Better Homes committee the obsery- ance of "Better Homes Week" has been arranged for in the following (Continued on Page 8)
