June 2, 1928 WINNETKA TALK URGE LARGE VOTE IN JUDICIAL ELECTION Two Principal Tickets in Field With Bar Association Nomi- nees Opposing Coalition Slate Winnetka voters are urged not to neglect. Monday, June 4, the important duty of casting their ballots in the Judicial election. Election day will find two principal tickets in the field, one designated "Republican," and the other "Chicago Bar Association Non-Partisan." A third or "Non-Partisan" ticket, offers the name of a single candidate. One column on the ballot to be handed the voter is blank except for the "Demo- cratic heading. Under the republican heading on the ballot are listed the names of six can- didates for judges of the Superior court. Of these, Judges John J. Sulli- van, Joseph Sabath and Martin M. Gridley are democrats who will seck re-election on the coalition slate, with their three republican colleagues, Judges Walter P. Steffen, Jesse Hol- dom, and Worth E. Caylor. Robert E. Gentzel is candidate on the republi- can ticket for judge of the Superior court to fill vacancy. Four Bar Candidates The Chicago Bar Association Non- Partisan ticket bears the names of three candidates for judges of the Superior court, Howard W. Hayes and Daniel P. Trude, who are now judges of the Municipal court, and Charles Center Case, a special state's attorney. State Senator James J. Barbour is in the Bar association's column against Robert E. Gentzel as candidate to fill vacancy on the Superior court bench. The sole Non-Partisan ticket candi- date is Eugene V. Taylor. Campaign activity on the north shore in the instance of the Judicial election has been noticeable principally in Wil- mette - where the Wilmette Voters Advisory committee, composed of rep- resentatives of churches and various civic groups, has recommended to the voters the candidates on the Bar asso- ciation slate. Committee in Statement The Wilmette committee issued the following statement this week: "By reason of the issue involved in the method of nominating the so-called 'Republican ticket,' we believe the best interests of the community will be served by uniting to elect the Bar association ticket. Therefore, we make no further recommendations."

"Bab" Makes Her First Appearance at N. T. Tonight By M. B. When Bab's school closed two weeks earlier than usual because of an epi- demic of measles, it was very likely with a wild whoop that she celebrated the occasion, and dashed home to her family. She arrived there in the wuni- form of a select girls' finishing school, in curls, and with a number of schemes vaguely shaping themselves in the back of her head. One scheme was that curls and uniforms be permanently abandoned in favor of adult attire. And there were others of even more importance. Barbara Archibald, or, Bab, was at that disconcerting age, seventeen, when one considers oneself esoteric enough to see the sad lack of savoir faire in friends, and yet when one is regarded as a small, if delightful, child by well- meaning members of the family. Hence it was partly to win respect for herself and partly to show the town, that Bab | set about finding a romance for herself. It is with her methods of finding one, and what she did with it when she had it, that the play, "Bab" deals. This is the annual Senior production, to be given tonight in the New Trier audi- torium. There are two casts for this, headed respectively by Alta Dee Belahe and Dean Vail, and Madelon Beall and Steve Harwood. Heading a rather large cast, the first couple were seen Friday, the second appear tonight. Gordon Van Kirk, as faculty sponsor, is directing. Memorial Day Tournaments Attract Many Golfers Ninety-eight contestants fought for the seven prizes offered in the Mem- orial day tournaments at the Skokie Playfield golf course, with Ernest Bel- mont, 1926 club champion, scoring the best round for the day, when he nego- tiated the 18 holes in 66. Three putts on the tenth, seventeenth and eighteenth, prevented his cutting sev- eral strokes from Old Man Par. It was very evident that some of the older golfers will have to look well to their laurels and devote a little more time to practice. Joe Franco, the twelve-year-old son of the local paint- ing contractor, showed his heels to the rest of the crowd by winning the low net prize with an 87-24-63. The Flag event was the feature tournament of the day, in which four contestants were required to play an extra hole to use up all their strokes. Belmont, having four strokes to waste after the 18 holes, played the first hole in perfect figure and left his flag in the first cup. Results of the tournament are: Low gross--E. Belmont, 66; O. Fos- sum, 69. Low net--Joe Franco, 87-24-63; J. F. Seehoff, 75-10-65. Flag tournament--E. Belmont, 66- 4-70; Joe Franco, 66-24-90; J. F. See- hoff, 66-10-75. Evanston Club Head Tells Pupils of Birds Mrs. Frederick Pattee, president of the Evanston Bird club, gave an illus- trated talk this week before the pupils of the Hubbard Woods school in which she told of the various types of birds, their habitats, habits, colors and songs. The pictures shown in connection with the address by means of a projection lantern, were collected by some of the most prominent of contemporary bird students and photographers. Yes and No on Winnetka Frolic; C. of C. Debate When the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce meets in regular session Monday, June 11, among the various matters to come before the session will be that of holding an annual Winnetka Day celebration this sum- mer. There are said to be those in the Chamber, who feel that there should be no Winnetka Day observance this year. This is not in consequence of any concerted action opposing these events, as was the case in Glencoe, but members of the Winnetka Chamber, it is thought will take the initiative in the movement. These events, it is pointed out, re- quire a vast amount of work by the members, and also involve great ex- pense. Many are asking" the question: Is it worth all it costs in time, labor and money ? Hubbard Woods School Holds Musical Festival The annual spring musical festival was held at the Hubbard Woods school yesterday afternoon. The program was staged under the supervision of Mrs. Jean Hislop 'Rumry, musical di- rector in the intermediate grades, as- sisted by Mrs. Paul Starr at the piano.

These squads have been organized in every. town with a population of over five thousand in the state of Illinois by the state fire marshal. Fire Chief G. M. Moran and Harold C. Lewis of the police department were appointed by Mr. Bertram to act as the squad here and it will be their duty in the event of any fire of presumable incendiary origin to investigate the matter thor- oughly. At the time of such fire and immediately after they will be on the scene and in full authority to exclude any person from the property and take all other necessary precautions. RECEIVES DEGREE TUESDAY The Rev. Paul R. Reynolds, missionary to Fenchow, China, from the Winnetka Congregational church, is to receive the degree of Dr. of Divinity from the Chicago Theological Seminary, next Tuesday evening, at the Commence- ment. : SANITARY DISTRICT DIGS A NEW STREAM Work in Skokie Designed to Es- tablish Continuous Skokie Channel to River 1 One of the outstanding results of the work of the Chicago Sanitary Dis- trict in opening up the main chan- nels and laterals as the foundation la- bors of the North Shore Mosquito Abatement district, is a newly creat- {ed stream bearing off through the Skokie to the northwest, filled brim- full of water, which is awaiting the final blasting of a narrow strip to establish a continuous channel for this water down through the river. | This opening, it is said, will be made in the near future, or as soon as the various obstructions which the "pine- apple squad" is also engaged in forc- ing out by the frequent blasts which north shore householders have been hearing for the past few weeks. Aid to Sanitation 3 The newly made channel or lateral, Engineer Harrold Higgins and Mr. McCune of the Sanitary District ex- plained, will completely open one of the worst, and most frequently com- plained of sections in the entire Skokie area. It is what has long been known as a sort of spill-way for the open sew- age which has been coming down from across the Lake county line and dumped out to filter away through the great Skokie morass at this point. It has been the mosquito haven of the north shore, but, explained Sani~ tary Engineer Higgins and Mr. Mc- Cune, the time is now near at hand when we will blow out that little re- taining section of Skokie muck, which is holding the pent-up waters, and give a permanent free waterway for this long desired drainage, down to the broader river outlet some miles below. Like Advancing Army : The Chicago Sanitary district's dynamiting squad has been marching through the north shore Skokie area, like an advancing army. These men have invaded veritable mosquito jungles, planting hundreds upon hundreds of dynamite charges which, with almost rythmic precision, have been making channel. openings through the valley. This work will be continued until not only the main streams but scores of necessary laterals, are complete. One of the much needed laterals has been made about 400 feet south of the County line road, designed to clean out the Forest Preserve in that sec- tion. Following the completion "of the dynamiting and opening: up work here, the Sanitary District force will pro- ceed into other branches of the river throughout the North Shore Mos- quito Abatement district, comprising about 100 square miles. As fast as the Sanitary district work is completed, the North Shore Mos- quito Abatement district men, under Superintendent William Edwards come forward, clearing out, oiling, and gen- erally maintaining open channels. | Hubbard Woods Pupils Enjoy All-Day Outing Children of the kindergarten of the Hubbard Woods school were conduct- ed on an all-day outing to Lincoln Park in Chicago yesterday by parents and teachers. The children were taken to the park in private cars fur- nished by parents and enjoyed a morn- ing of games and sight-seeing in the park. A picnic luncheon was served and they returned to Winnetka about 3 o'clock.
