October 6, 1928 WINNETKA TALK WOMEN VOTERS MEET Luncheon of Winnetka League Held in Rudolph Matz Hall Monday With 250 in Attendance About 250 women attended the open- ing luncheon meeting of the Winnetka League of Women Voters in Rudolph Matz Hall on Monday. Many who did not attend the luncheon came over from the meeting of Christ Church Guild, which very graciously shortened its session in order to co-operate with the League. Mrs. A. Montage Ferry, president, presided at the meeting, which was the first regular meeting since her election to that office. Mrs. W. A. Roberts, president of the Chicago League of Women Voters Forum, gave a short talk on league membership, bringing out the national, state, and local activities, in which each member has a part. An interesting guest who was present to bring greet- ings from Japan, was Miss Ichikawa, the director of the Woman's Suffrage organization in Tokio. The dramatization of "A Day at the Polls," acted by the election commis- sioners of Chicago, was the program feature of the day. This scenario was prepared by Robert L. Taylor of the legal department of the election board, assisted by election officials and co- operating organizations, a large part of the work being done by Mrs. Paul Rittenhouse of the Illinois League of Women Voters. A typical Chicago election polling place was depicted, beginning with the opening and closing of the polls. Voters were challenged and challenges were sustained and re- jected, according to the interpretation of the law. Ballots not initialed wes detected and thrown out. Electioneer- ing at the polls was handled in many amusing ways, and the efforts of the precinct captains to win votes brought forth much laughter from the audi- ence. brought home to the women voters in a way never appreciated by them before. Mrs. E. E. Stults, chairman of the living costs committee of the Win- netka league, represented Winnetka at the state meeting of her committee on Thursday, and Mrs. Benjamin Pfeiffer, chairman of education, at- tended the state meeting of her com- mittee on Monday. Both meetings were held at state headquarters, 203 N. Wabash avenue. The October number of the Woman's Home Companion, in an article en- titled, "Lost--14,000,000 Women Vot- ers," gives the plan used by the Win- netka league in past years for getting out the vote. The plan was written by Mrs. John Vander Vries at the request of the director of the Good Citizen- ship Bureau of the Home Companion. Rev. Goodwin to Build New Waukegan Church The First Congregational church of Waukegan to which the Rev. Thomas A. Goodwin, formerly of Winnetka, recently was called as pastor, is pre- paring to build a new church. The building committee and other members of the congregation Thurs- day of this week made their second tour of inspection of Chicago churches for the purpose of obtaining informa- tion to aid them in their plans. A service of recognition was held for Mr. Goodwin Sunday morning. The sermon, on "Partial and Whole Views of Life," was preached by Dr. E. G. Guthrie, general director of the Chi- cago Congregational Missionary and Extension society. The right hand of fellowship was extended on behalf of the church by L. J. Wilmot; on behalf of other Waukegan churches, by the Rev. E. C. Beach and on behalf of the Coh- gregational Missionary and Extension society, by the Rev. C. E. Laidman. The election machinery was Call Session to Discuss Lincoln Extension Scheme H. L. Raclin, chairman of the streets, drainage and forestry committee of the Winnetka Village council, has called a meeting for Friday evening, October 5, for the purpose of again considering the question of extending Lincoln avenue from Elm street south to Oak street. This matter has been before the council for several years, but, inas- much as it involves also the question of grade separation requirements and plans of the owners of the property east of the tracks in regard to future development, no definite agreement has been reached. It is hoped by all concerned that this meeting may result in the adoption of a plan which will result in substantial progress. The Johanna North Shore committee will hold its first meeting of the sea- son on Thursday, October 11, at the North Shore Congregation Israel. Luncheon will be served at 12 o'clock. The committee is a philanthropic or- ganization which sews for the hos- pitals.
