2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, APRIL, 9, 1915. certified copy of the village charter. This was seconded by Trustee North- rop. After the reading of three sanitary sewer ordinances and a few minor matters President Goble read the re- port of the work done by the Board of Trustees during the past year. The new member and the newly elected old members, with the new president, were asked to step forward to take the oath of office, which was admin- istered and greeted with applause. Ex-President Goble gave a hearty wel- come to President Rummler in a poem written as a toast. ANNUAL MEETING OF J. P. A. HELD. The annual meeting of the Juvenile Protective Association was held in the Assembly room of Community House, Tuesday evening, Mrs. Morris Greeley, secretary of the association, in her report stated that the bank held a larger balance than the previous year even with the demands which have been made on contributors by the war. The ex- penses of the Superintendent Mr. Howard Moore of Evanston, is shared with that city and the office formerly us by the association, on Elm sfreet, has been closed in favor of Mr. Moore's home address, 2007 Lin- coln street. The membership has lapsed to the number of 120, principally in High- land Park, and 50 new members are listed. At the last annual meeting the same officers were elected who had served the preceding year with the exception of Mrs. Ira Couch Wood, whose place as vice-president was filled by Mrs" Lloyd C. Whitman. It can be said® here that the presi- dent of thejassociation is Ralph T. Lounsbury, and the Treasurer, George J. Pope. The new Board of Directors elected at the meeting consists of H. D. Faxon in Highland Park, Mrs. Gor- don Ramsey in Glencoe, W. T. Tay- lor in Kenilworth, H. E. Brown of New Trier and Francis Lackner in Win- netka. After the treasurer's report Mr. Moore gave a summary of his work in the past season. Highwood, Grosse Point and Wilmette have had many cases of immortality. Highwood has become notorious for its lack of moral tone. General assembly places are lacking in these towns which ac- counts in a large degree for their bad conditions socially. A proposition for a community hall has been placed be- fore the voters of Wilmette without good results. Nineteen [complaints regarding the beaches along the North Shore have been received but not one concerning the supervised bathing beach of this village. : Mr. Moore was quite frank in his statements of the extremely bad morals in the North Shore towns and said that the parents were aften of no help in bettering conditions. Nine- teen boys had been taken in charge for immoral practices and fifteen girls the oldest being eighteen and the youngest eleven. The boys ranked in age from fourteen to sixteen. A case was cited where the mother who drank heavily, turned against her children, forcing the daughter into a life that is killing her with tuber- culosis. The colored creche, recently opened in Glencoe, was established to protect the children during their mother's absence while working. The North Shore club, colored, has been of help in contributing $35 from a dance held in Glencoe. From Glen- coe to Evanston there have been twenty-nine cases with seventeen of them still on probation. Optimistic Thought. He who can at all times sacrifice pleasure to duty approaches sublimity. TRAIN SERVICE AT INDIAN HILL CLUB. An interesting announcement regard- ing the mooted question of train service for the members and guests of the Indian Hill club is given to this ef- fect. The Chicago and Northwestern Railway company has agreed to fur- nish train service for the Indian Hill club and land has been purchased on Winnetka avenus for the purpose. Service will be furnished sometime after the first of May and possibly when the club is opened formally for the season. The date for the opening has not been set as the club house has been having a thorough spring overhaul- ing with the usual new decorations and furbishings. It will be very likely along in the middle of the month and everything is sure to be in tip top condition for the summer festi vities. The railway management will call the station built for the club traffic, the Indian Hill station and it is certain to be cleverly designed as other stagjons along the regular route of the Nov it must be small in construction. The Board of Governors of the club is greatly pleased at the decision of the officials of the Northwestern as each member realizes that there are serious operating difficulties involved by it and that the laying of a road and building of a station are not things to be accomplished in an off hand manner. Now is a splendid time for the work to begin for the inter- cepting sewer running along Win- netka avenue has been laid and there is not likely to be any further inter- ference in street work along that line. The train service will be of the greatest convenience to the club mem- bers who have had to depend on far between electric cars and a long walk to get them to the clubhouse when they did not happen to own a ma- chine. The little board station where travellers to the club have had to disembark is about the most dismal object in the way of a station to be found in many counties and on a win- ter day the shelter afforded by its boarded walls has been minus all comfort. It has seemed a thorough test of the good fellowship of club members and their guests that they should be willing to stand such in- convenience though the cosy, charm- ing, clubhouse made up in its wel- come. INJUNCTION TAKEN OUT BY VILLAGE. An injunction for the village .was taken out by R. L. Fitzgerald, Tues- day morning, against the H. J. Mecni- chols Co., contractors for the laying of the intercepting sewer along Sheridan Road, to prohibit injury be- ing done to the trees by the steam shovel used in the work of excavat- ing. In the autumn of 1914, when the ordinance for the laying of the inter- cepting sewer was drawn up by the village Board of Trustees, this mat- ter was discussed in all its bearings and every effort was made to protect the trees which are some of the finest in town. Things seemed to go well until the work reached the foot of Ash street, where the trees are so finely grown their branches meet across Sheridan road. The shovel breaks these splendid branches and the injunction is to stop the work until some means of saving them can be found. ADVERTISED LETTERS. Henry Anderson, Miss Marie Haas, Mr. John Plunkett.
