WINNETKA TALK October 27, 1928 Under the direct supervision of T. J. Crowe, president of the Sani- tary District of Chicago, co-op- erating with Trustees James M. Whalen, chairman of the engineering committee, and Henry A Berger, chair- man of the Federal Rela- tions Com- mittee, the Sanitary Board has recently suc- cessfully placed T. J. Crowe in operation the world's largest pro- ject for the treatment of sewage. It is electrically controlled scientific basis throughout. and has The plant is at McCormick Road and Howard Street and now takes care of the needs of people, approximately a north of Fullerton Avenue million and beyond the limits of the city of Chicago, including Evanston "and other large suburban municipalities. Further- more, the great plant, built at a cost of $32,000,000, is inoffensive, being practically odorless. While this marvelous example of applied scientific sanitary practice, on an unprecedent- ed scale, estab- lishes Chicago and areas be- yond its con- fines within the jurisdiction of the Sanitary Board more firmly as the world's most healthy metro- politan district, it bas achieved much more. It has the added significance of James M. Whalen being the major part of the job in- volved in redeeming Chicago's pledges made to the United States government in 1925 when the war department at Washington granted a permit author- izing the diversion of 8,500 cubic feet per second from Lake Michigan through the main drainage canal. It has given much satisfaction to notth and northwest visualize t h e general pro- gram adopted for the comfort and health of their respective commun i- ties. These em- brace Evanston, Wilmette, Ken- ilworth, Win- netka, Glencoe, Northfield, Niles Center, Morton Grove, Park Ridge, Des Plaines, Glenview a n d Northbrook. Ob- viously. these improve- ments in behalf of sanitation go far towards increase residents to Henry A. Berger in property values and communal advancement. These improvements have been com- pleted under t h e Sanitary District and in that connection it is important to recall that Ald. Ross A. Woodhull prominent in the affairs of the Chicago City Council during twelve years, always has worked har- moniously with the trustees in every undertak- ing designed by them for the public benefit. Together with Messrs. J. Crowe, Whalen, | didate for election as Democratic trustees of Ald. Ross A. 'Woodhull and Berger, he is a Democratic can- Sanitary Trustee, having been nominated to fill drainag . the vacancy on the e. board.

MOVE TO CALIFORNIA The Welton Stallsmith family of 523 Essex road, Kenilworth, is moving to Les Angeles, Cal. The two children, John and Polly, who have been in the fifth and third grades respectively, at the Joseph Sears school, will . enter school there. A personal note to voters concerning JOHN W. JARANOWSKI Republican Candidate for RECORDER OF DEEDS The Welfare Association of the Recorder's Office of Cook County, an organization comprising all the em- ployes of the Recorder's Office and formed for the purpose of re- lieving distress and caring for the sick and needy of that office, ask the voters of Cook County to con- sider carefully the following facts concerning the election of a Recorder of Deeds on No- vember 6th. For the last five years the office of the Recorder of Deeds has returned a profit on earned fees to the taxpayers of Cook County of over $400,000.00 annually or more than $2,000,000.00 in all. This two million dollars profit made by the Recorder's Office has meant a decrease of two million dollars in general taxa- tion. There is not a taxpayer in Cook County who has not reaped the bene- fit of the efficiency in the Recorder's Office. To obtain that two million dollars saving a trained, efficient organization has been necessary. Under Joseph F. Haas that organization was built up until delegations from all over the United States came daily to see how the work was performed. John W. Jaranowski has pledged himself publicly to retain that organi- zation. A change in that organiza- tion means decreased efficiency. De- creased efficiency means a loss in profits and perhaps changing the office from an asset of the taxpayers to a liability. It means higher general taxes. This can be prevented and the present profit maintained each year by electing John W. Jaranowski as Recorder of Deeds. We know John W. Jaranowski and we believe in him. He is an ex- perienced business man who has made a success in private business. An in- experienced man, no matter how honest his intentions, can preduce disastrous results in the Recorder's e. We who constitute the working force of the Recorder's Office person- ally appeal to every voter to cast his or her vote for John W. Jaranowski for Recorder of Deeds at the coming elec- tion. WELFARE ASSOCIATION OF RECORDER'S OFFICE Christian Science Churches "Doctrine of Atonement" was the subject of the lesson-sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, Sunday, October 21, The Golden Text was from 1 Cor- inthians 1:18, "The preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolish- ness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." Among the citations which com- prised the lesson-sermon was the fol- lowing from the Bible: "O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. For thou de- sirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offer- ing. The sacrifices' of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise" (Psalms 51:15, 16, 17). The lesson-sermon also included the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scrip- tures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "Wis- dom and Love may require many sacri- fices of self to save us from sin. One sacrifice however great; is insufficient to pay the debt of sin. The atonement requires constant self-immolation on the sinner's part" (p. 23). Mrs. M. F. Pardee and Miss Mary Pardee, mother and sister of Mrs. J. B. Beardsley, 560 Elm street, have left for New York to sail for Panama. Mrs. Pardee and her daughter have been visiting Mrs. Beardsley for the past month. --O-- Subi Wooten, small daughter of Mr. and Mrs. King Wooten of 949 Spruce street, is entertaining her young friends this afternoon at a Hallowe'en party celebration of her birthday. Ancestral Home Provides Stones for New Mansion Mr. and Mrs. Roy F. Best of 1121 Lake avenue, Wilmette, are bringing the recollection of childhood days back on the farm and the old flour mill right down to date and into their nine-room residence being constructed by Bills Bros., Inc.,, on Ramona road in Indian Hill Estates. On a special vacation trip made this summer, Mr. and Mrs. Best procured several of the stones from the old wall on the ancestral farm in Pike county, Ohio, which has been owned by the great grandfather of Mr. Best. Like- wise, one of the most well-worn stones of the "Ole Swimmin' Hole" was se- cured, together with some of the foun- dation stones of a flour mill which the great grandfather of Mr. Best oper- ated for one of the earliest Pike county settlements in the pioneering days of the 60's. Mr. Best is also working out a stu- dio of timbered beaming and with an elevated fireplace in the center and two large posing platforms, which he plans to utilize in his work of com- mercial art, for which Mr. Best is far-famed. This is the third new home to be started in Indian Hill Estates in the past two weeks.
