NO. 36 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 10, 1928 PRICE FIVE CENTS ASK WINNETKANS FOR SCOUTING BUDGET Winnetka Boy Scout Committee to Raise $2,750 Budget as North Shore Area Share The Winnetka district committee of the Boy Scouts has as one of its first tasks as members of the North Shore Area council, Boy Scouts of America, that of securing Winnetka's portion of the annual appropriation for Scouting purposes for the area council. Glencoe, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Highland Park, Lake Forest, and the other towns in the area, are busy at the present time on this undertaking. Winnetka's portion of the $16,000 bud- get is $2,750. Wilmette and Highland Park each contribute $3,750 per year for the support of the council and its work in common for all these towns. Other smaller towns contribute in pro- portion. Describe Fund Outlay The work done by the North Shore Area council under the specific direc- tion of Walter 'McPeek, Scout execu- tive, and his assistant, Carl McManus, includes supplying of equipment such as badges, printed applications, certif- icates, report cards; it includes assist- ance in organizing and re-organizing troops; in training Scout leaders, and troop Scoutmasters; in conducting in- ter-town rallies, contests, etc.; in pro- viding awards for excellence in Scout- ing work; in establishing closer rela- tions between the Scout leaders and the Scout troops themselves in the dif- ferent north shore towns; in issuing bulletins of activities, suggestions, and aids to the Scoutmasters; in maintain- ing the North Shore Scout Cabin-in- the-Woods for hikes and overnight camps. One of the important activities re- cently established, consists in the pur- chase by the North Shore area of a Lake camp site of 360 acres in north- erin Wisconsin, on which buildings will be constructed next spring, so that Scout camps of two weeks at a time can be conducted for about eighty boys at once during next summer, H. D. Hill, Chairman The budget to which Winnetka is now asked to contribute will include the cost of conducting these various activities. It does not include any of the purchase cost of the North Woods camp. Harold D. Hill is chairman of the new Scout finance committee, and has assisting him Charles J. Eastman, Glen Bull, W. B. Cormany, C. C. Daugh- aday, G. B. Calkins, and Charles Trum- bull. This committee is preparing a letter which will be sent out during the coming week to residents of the vil- lage, requesting their assistance in placing Winnetka on the same basis as other north shore towns with refer- ence to the support of these worth- while Scout activities. Bugle Corps to Take Part in Armistice Day Services The Wilmette Drum and Bugle Corps is to attend an Armistice day service at Winnetka Sunday morning, November 11, at 10:30 at Community House. That evening at 7:30 o'clock in front of the First Congregational church at Wilmette the Drum and Bugle Corps will play "T'o the Colors." Announce Program of First Symphony Concert Here Monday The Little Symphony orchestra, George Dasch, conductor, will give the first of its 1928-29 concerts at New Trier auditorium Monday evening, November 12. These concerts, five in number, are brought to the north shore through the instrumentality of the New Trier Orchestral association of which Roland D. Whitman of Winnetka is president. Cost of the series is de- frayed by the sale of season tickets to regular subscribers. Monday's pro- gram, at 8:15 o'clock, has been an- nounced as follows: Overture, "Phedre"........... Massenet Symphony No. 35, D Major (Kochel £385). .°..0.5.. a... 55, Mozart Allegro con spirito Andante Menuetto Finale-Presto Suite for String Orchestra.

Rimsky-Korsakow Winnetka Firemen Handed Job Protecting Kenilworth The Winnetka Fire department here- after is to serve Kenilworth whenever that community is in need of help ot this character. Kenilworth has no fire department, and in the past has looked to Wilmette for the service, for which it pays $75 per call. It was felt that the Winnetka fire department, because of the location of its station, equipment, etc., could serve Kenilworth more advantageously, and the Winnetka Village council Wednes- day evening granted the request and at the same rate as that which Wil- mette has been receiving.

If you say it in print we can help make it emphatic LLoyD HOLLISTER INC. WINNETKA 2000 | HOOVER WINS NEW TRIER BY MAJORITY OF 3 TO 1 Three Precincts in Smith Column; Thompson-Crowe Henchmen Given Terrific Beating New Trier Township polled a total vote somewhat in excess of 17,000 last Tuesday, all but three voting districts going into the Hoover column with majorities averaging approximately 3 to 1. Three precincts, one in North- field and two in Wilmette, in what was formerly the Village of Gross Point, gave majorities to Al Smith and his Democratic associates on the ballot. Smith carried the Northfield precinct by the scant margin of two votes. No less significant than President- Elect Hoover's wide margin of victory, was the aggressive manner in which New Trier dealt out its final blow to the Thompson - Crowe - Galpin - Eller county regime. Almost invariably, the voters who favored the Republican national ticket, crossed party lines in the great fight to exterminate the remnants of the Thompson - Crowe alliance. Thus we find such totals as 14,552 for Herman N. Bundesen, Dem- oratic candidate for coroner, as against 2,371 for Oscar Wolff. Again in the scramble for Sanitary District positions, one observes that Howard W. Elmore in the Republican column, sind James M. Whalen, Henry A. Berger and Ross A. Woodhull, Dem- ocrats, ruled favorites over T. J. Crowe, Oscar F. Nelson, and Morris Eller. Eller, incidentally, was the worst defeated candidate in New Trier, trailing all entries, with a vote aggre- gating slightly over 2,000. Favor G. O. P. State Ticket Louis L. Emmerson for governor and the entire Republican state ticket, ran well up with the national candidates. Mrs. Anna Wilmarth Ickes, for Repre- sentative in the state Assembly received the highest vote of all candidates with 15963. Next in line was Dr. Bunde- sen. Judge John A. Swanson was an easy winner over his Democratic rival, Judge William J. Lindsay, in the race for state's attorney. The voters uniformly crossed over the party barrier to favor such Demo- cratic candidates as Clayton F. Smith, for recorder of deeds, who was op- posed by John Jaranowski, Thompson follower, while John E. Conroy, Dem- ocrat, was favored over Eugene IL. Nusser for member of board of asses- sors. Tabulation of the vote by precincts will be found on page 68. Modify Description of "AA" Zoning Regulation An ordinance which has been pend- ing in the Village council for some time creating, as originally drafted, what was designated ""AA" residential area, was passed with an amendment, Wednesday evening, retaining the orig- inal objective of the ordinance but with a modified description. In place of designating "A" residential territo- ry and "AA" residential area, it will be known as "A one-sixth" classification and "A one-half" district.
