Wherein Winnetka Talk Is Guilty of an Error An article in last week's WINNETKA TaLx stated erroneously that Mrs. Ro- land Whitman is president of the Winnetka Music club. While Mrs. Whitman has been prominently iden- tified with the Winnetka Music club for several years and was at one time its president, she does not now hold that office. The officers of the Music club are: Mrs. H. L. Street, president Mrs. Arthur Dean, secretary Mrs. E. C. Carstrom, treasurer Mrs. Louis Schmid, vice-president and chairman of program Mrs. Preston Burlingham, chairman social SPEAKS ON "BURDEN SHARERS" "Burden Sharers" is the topic au- nounced for the sermon by Rev. James Austin Richards at Winnetka Congre- gational church, Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. At the 5 o'clock vesper serv- ice, Rev. Thomas A. Goodwin will speak on the recent book, "Shoddy," by Dan Brummitt. Council Favorable to Suggestion for Ash Street Shelter! Village Trustee Carl J. Fasterberg, chairman of the Public Utility com- mittee of the Village council, at the meeting of that body last Tuesday evening again brought up the sugges- tion of the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee railway that the present waiting shelter between Ash and Cherry streets be razed and that a new structure be provided at the Ash street crossing where no shelter house now exists. Inasmuch as Ash street is the last southbound stop before Indian Hill, it is felt that some adequate provision for these accommodations should be made at this point for patrons of the road. A To provide a station here, the rail- road will be required to lease a por- tion of the right-of-way of the Chi- cago & North Western railroad, it is said. A traffic count taken at the Oak- Cherry street station a few weeks ago revealed that very few people board the North Shore trains at this point and, furthermore, an account of the proposed change which appeared in a recent issue of WINNETKA TALK did not bring forth any objections. In view of these facts, the Village council felt justified in voting tentative approval of the suggestion for the proposed change, pending the filing of definite plans for consideration. Sundav Evening Club to Meet at Beach Sunday The Winnetka Sunday evening club will meet Sunday evening on the beach, just north of the pumping sta- tion at 6 o'clock. Supper will be served at 6:30. This will be the last meet- ing of the year, it is announced. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SUBJECT "Adam and Fallen Man" will be the subject at the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Winnetka, Sunday morn- ing, May 6, at the 11 o'clock services.

District superintendent William Ed- wards was authorized by the board to effect a contract for the purchase of oils to be used for spraying pools, ditches and catch basins. Retained as Attorney Former state senator Thurlow G. Essington was appointed attorney for the district. Mr. Essington has previ- ously greatly assisted the north shore in connection with its campaign for the supression of mosquitos, it is pointed out, having assisted in the drafting of the bill which provided authorization for the formation of the district and having done considerable other work for the district. A map of the district, the prepara- tion of which had been previously authorized by the board, was sub- mitted to the board by Windes and Marsh, civil engineers. Inorder to facilitate the planning for and actual accomplishment of the work to be done, the district has been divided into several sections by Supt. Edwards, it was reported. , District No. 1, which will be looked after by Mr. Edwards personally, comprises the whole built-up section from the county line to the south limits of Evanston and from Lake Michigan to the east edge of the Skokie. As soon as the oil trucks, which have been ordered, are deliv- ered, Mr. Edwards plans to place two of the trucks in this district, one from the south limits of Evanston to Lake street, Wilmette, and the other from Lake street north to the county Inie. These trucks will be used to spray all of the catch basins in the towns along the shore. There are over 800 catch basins in Wilmette and 1,200 in Ev- anston, providing an excellent place for the breeding of mosquitos, it is pointed out. District No. 2 comprises all of the territory from the east edge of the Skokie to Pfingsten road and from the county line to the south limits of Glenview. District No. 3 comprises all of the territory from the south limits of Glen- view to the south limits of the district and from the east edge of the Skokie to the west limits of the district. Districts Have Foremen Districts 2 and 3 will each have a foreman, whose duties will be to locate mosquito breeding places, to make sug- gestions as to the work and to see that all of the work laid out for that district is carried out. He will be the trouble man in his district, and all complaints in the district will be turned over to him. Oil truck No. 3 will cover both districts 2 and 3, as Mr. Ed- ward's surveys reveals that there are only a few catch basins to take care of in the Village in this territory. Mr. Edwards will, of course, supervise the foremen in each of the districts and all of the work in the entire district.
