September 22, 1928 WINNETKA TALK CLUB IS REORGANIZED Breakers Beach Members Modify Plans and Agree on Assessment to Build Fine Family Club Members of the Breakers Beach club, of which W. L. McKay of Ev- anston is president, and many north shore residents are members, have just completed plans for the modification of their organization since its purchase from the original promoters. The new plans call for the aban- donment of the twelve-story hotel building which was to have been erected. Instead, a club of ample pro- portions will be built from the present unit for purely social and recreational purposes. It is to be a family club of representative north shore people and will have none of the bizarre, Coney Island atmosphere that, it was feared, would follow the original project. Since the club is now under the management of a Board of Directors composed of north shore business men, the personnel and regulations will be based upon highest ideals. The board expects to finish the entry and grounds around the building with driveways, parking space and land- scaping to make it, on the whole, an attractive spot. At a recent meeting of the members an assessment of $250, plus tax, was voted to carry on the modified pro- ject. Following the payment of the required assessments and dues, mem- berships will be allowed only after each applicant has had the approval of the Board of Admissions and a waiting list will be inaugurated. It was announced this week that a general meeting of the club member- ship will be held Tuesday evening, September 25, at 8 o'clock, at the Haven school, Evanston, to discuss plans of the club building. Lay Cornerstone Sunday of Theological Seminary Laying of the cornerstone of the Western Theological seminary at the southwest corner of Sheridan road and Haven street, Evanston, will take place Sunday afternoon at 3:30, and will mark another notable addition to Evanston as an educational center. The Rt. Rev. Charles Palmerston Anderson, LL.D., bishop of Chicago and president of the board of trustees of the seminary, will officiate. Presi- dent Walter Dill Scott of Northwest- ern and the deans of the schools of the university will join in a procession from the deanery at 2145 Orrington avenue to the cornerstone site. Others in the march will be Mayor Charles H. Bartlett, Episcopal clergy of Evanston, Bishop Sheldon M. Gris- wold, Bishop Anderson, Dr. William C. De Witt, president of the sem- inary; and Dean Frederick C. Grant. Mrs. C. H.
