a ---------- i Pia wt October 20, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 13 Ask Householders' Co-operation in Burning of Leaves Co-operation of residents of the vil- lage in complying with municipal reg- ulations relative to the use of the streets for burning of leaves, will be greatly appreciated, according to Vil- lage Manager H. I.. Woolhiser. Many municipalities strictly prohibit this practice, it is pointed out, because of damage to pavements and danger to motorists when the view is obstructed by smoke, but Winnetka for several years has adhered to the policy of permitting householders to burn leaves in the street provided they are kept in small piles in the gutter to facilitate satisfactory operation of the motor street sweeper. Village officials, it is said, have ob- served numerous violations of these regulations this fall. In order that residents may continue to have use of the streets for the disposal of leaves, an appeal is being made for more complete co-operation. Tower-Sheridan Corner Scene of Motor Crash The intersection of Tower road with Sheridan road was the scene of an automobile accident Sunday, shortly after noon, when a car driven by A. Frederickson, 32 Linden avenue, Wilmette, in turning into Tower road collided with a car driven by M. F. Washburn, 2100 Home avenue, Chi- cago. Both cars were damaged, and Mes Frederickson and Mrs. Oscar Burke, who was in the car with her, were slightly injured, according to Of- ficer Carl Bishop. Mrs. Jacob E. Replogle, 910 Oak street, entertained the officers of the Order of Eastern Star, last Wednes- day afternoon.

When Charlie West applied the brakes to his automobile, which he was driving on Hibbard road between Willow road and Winnetka avenue, the car skidded into a ditch, and was overturned. The accident occurred early Saturday morning, according to Officers Ralph Rayburn and L. Barker. The car was badly damaged, but West escaped injury. Minnesota Next in Line for Maroon Grid Entry Chicago's football schedule takes the Maroons to Minneapolis this Saturday, for the Gopher Homecoming game, Next week the clever Purdue team, with the great "Pest" Welch as its big threat, will play on the Midway. The Maroons were defeated by Iowa last Saturday, chiefly because of the superiority of the Hawkeye line in the first ten minutes, which gave Mayes McLain, the star fullback, and Glas- gow, the shifty half, plenty of open- ings. Chicago's inexperienced line is not yet sufficiently developed to cope with the power of a team like Iowa, and Minnesota, with an even stronger team, will be the favorite at Minneapo- lis. Mr. and Mrs. Irwin Henoch, 1066 Tower road, returned recently to their home after a three months' trip.
