--_-- September 29, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 55 Cradle Auxiliaries Plan to Hold Ball on Election Night An election night ball, with contin- uous election returns a big feature of the amusement, was put on the autumn social calendar this week by the Cradle auxiliaries of Evanston and Winnetka. The ball will be held at the Opera club, Chicago, the evening of Tuesday, Nov. 6. At a meeting of the auxiliar- ies to be held today, appointment of committees will take place and their announcement will be made soon. The meeting will be held this afternoon at the home of the Evanston chairman, Mrs. Eugene M. Stevens, 1246 Ridge avenue, and at it plans will also be perfected for the rummage sale by which the auxiliaries hope to raise a considerable amount for benefit of the Cradle's receiving home for babies. The sale will be held Oct. 4 and 5 between 10 and 6 at 1517 Sherman ave- nue. Mrs. Killian V. R. Nicol, who has so efficiently managed the Cradle maisonette for many months, is the general chairman of the sale project, with Mrs. Donald Dunbar her assist- ant chairman. Mrs. Cyrus I. Garnett is chairman of collections, and a phone call to her at Univ. 8140 will arrange for collection of donations. Articles of all sorts are being solicited from friends of the Cradle and those inter- ested in helping in this manner. The poster advertising for the sale is in charge of Mrs. Lucius Crowell, and the general publicity of the auxiliary is being efficiently handled by Mrs. L. Octigan White. Mrs. John C. Slade, Mrs. Clement Wild and Mrs. Thomas Hair will have charge of the sale of jewelry. The baby counter will be presided over by Mrs. Guy Shepherd and Mrs. Alva Millard. Mrs. Shepherd Rob- erts, Mrs. Artemus Ward, Jr. and Mrs. Kenneth Burns will have the hat sale in charge. The sale of women's clothes will be directed by Mrs. Averill Tilden, and men's clothes will be sold by Mrs. William W. Gates and Mrs. Frank Sherman. Books will be dis- pensed by Mrs. Robert Shimmen and Mrs. Frederick K. Lawrence, and the white elephant shop will be directed by Mrs. Walter Rompel, Mrs. Melvin Ericson and Miss Jean Dawes. Members of the Winnetka commit- tee include Mrs. Horace Armstrong, Mrs. Alvin Bastian, who is chairman of the town committee, Mrs. Bucking- ham Chandler, retired chairman, and Mrs. Francis Hardy. IN PATH OF HURRICANE Harry Vissering, 257 Kenilworth avenue, Kenilworth, left for Florida Wednesday. His son lived in Florida in the path of the recent hurricane but Mr. and Mrs. Vissering have re- ceived word that he is alright and he has started repairs on his home. Electric Refrigerator Established New Record An epoch in modern merchandising is revealed in the announcement of the success won by General Electric Refrigerators since entering the house- hold market last year. The General Electric Refrigerator was first announced just fifteen months ago. At that time, these refrigerators were being placed in homes at the rate of one a day. Now they are go- ing in to American homes at the im- pressive rate of one a minute, every day. Such remarkable public accept- ance is a fitting tribute to the minds that spent fifteen years in research and experiment in the development of this most modern of electrical con- veniences. Edward F. Hill, local dealer for General Electric Refrigerators, made known this week that nine factories are working to capacity to meet the demand for this electrical necessity. He attributes this demand to the rapidly growing realization for the need of proper refrigeration to pre- serve health, as well as to the ever- increasing appreciation for the out- standing qualities of his product. In referring to the universal need for proper refrigeration, Mr. Hill stated that there is a yearly food spoilage amounting to seven hundred million dollars in this country alone. He added that the average family spends about $600 annually for food- stuffs and that between ten and fifteen percent of this amount is wasted as a result of food spoilage. The effect of this food spoilage on health is also important, according to Mr. Hill. "Without a doubt slightly spoiled foods are the cause of many human ailments," he declared. Kenilworth School Board Meets--Routine Business A regular meeting of the Board of Education of the Joseph Sears school of Kenilworth was held Monday evening of this week at the school building. Routine business occupied most of the time, as no important matters came up for discussion.
