June 30, 1928 WINNETKA TALK Reorganize Forest Preserve Districts; Great Playgrounds Reorganization of the administration of the Cook county Forest Preserve has occurred during the last few weeks. The Forest Preserves in the county are now divided into only five districts instead of fifteen, as was the case previous to the reorganization, which took effect on June 15. M. S. Szymczak is general superin- tendent of the Forest Preserve dis- trict administration. He has been con- nected with the West Park boards and is a professor of economics at De- Paul university. C. E. Hall, district supervisor, has been made the head of a new de- partment of public relations. Mr. Hall has been in the forest preserve work in Cook county for five years. The purpose of the new department, according to Mr. Hall, is to keep the public informed concerning what is going on in the Preserves and in the administration and to educate the pub- lic to an appreciation of the ad- vantages which the Cook county Forest Preserves offer. There were four million registered visitors at the Forest Preserves in Cook county last year, Mr. Hall states, and the actual number of visitors was probably twice that number since many who come merely for picnics and outings do not register. Flower picking in the preserves is not so prevalent this year and this will result in a virtual carpet of flowers next spring, Mr. Hall believes. Boy Scouts who visit the Preserves fre- quently have done much to prevent vandalism, he states. Winnetka Church to Hold Picnic in Forest Preserve The annual Sunday School picnic of the First Scandinavian Evangelical church of Winnetka will be held Sun- day, July 1, in the Glenview Forest Preserve. This event marks the cli- max of the Sunday school activities for the season and the beginning of the summer "vacation." Parents and friends of the Sunday school or church are heartily invited to spend the day with the boys and girls at this beautiful natural park. It is requested that as many as possible-- and especially all who do not have automobiles--meet at the church at 9:30 sharp. Transportation will be provided for those who not have cars. Families will bring their own picnic dinners. The boys and girls will have free ice cream and milk as in the past, and there will be a program that will interest both young and old. A serv- ice will be conducted in the open at 11 o'clock, and another program will be given at 3:30. The regular service in the church will be held at 7:45 as usual. Vanguard of Campers Off to Adventure Island Home The first contingent of north shore boys left for Adventure Island camp Wednesday, accompanied by Charles A. Kinney, director of the camp. The boys in the group were Alfred Price, Jack Hopkins, Robert Holland, George White, Lloyd Lavery, Fred Lavery, Edwin White and Harry Vale. The main body of campers will leave Winnetka July 5, the date of the opening of the regular season. Mr. and Mrs. Karl Korraday, former- ly of the Orrington hotel, are occupy- ing the Harry Harrison home at 307 Abbottsford road, Kenilworth, for the summer. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison left June 17, for their summer home, "Maro- Nook" at Lansing, Mich.
