- WINNETK oS & a VOI... VIII, NO. . 13. WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1919 TEN PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS WINNETKA TO FIND JOBS FOR HEROES Reverend E. Ashley Gerhard, Chap- lain In The Service, Appointed Chairman of Committee VILLAGERS' HELP ASKED Names of Men Who Are Out of Em- ployment Should Be Given Mr. Gerhard, Tel. Winnetka 884 At a meeting of the Winnetka Post of the American Legion, held in the Woman's club last Monday evening, there was appointed a committee on occupation, of which Rev. E. Ashley Gerhard was asked to serve as chairman. ; . The purpose of this appointment is to effect some working plan by which every Winnetka man, who re- turns to his home community in Winnetka from service in the army, the navy, or the marines, shall be assisted in securing a job, if he needs such assistance. There are various Federal and State bureaus operating to this end. It seems, however, that Winnetka intends to take care of her own, and these other bureaus will be appealed to only after every effort has been made to locate these men in occupation. : This is a matter of community pride and of community responsibility says Mr. Gerhard, and I am sure the people of Winnetka will be unwilling to allow their returning men to re- turn to others until our own resourc- es shall have been exhausted. There are men already back for whom we are anxious to secure employment. Any person in the community who either can offer employment himself, or can suggest open jobs, should communicate with me at the Parish house, Oak and Linden street, or telephone Winnetka 884. 1 shall be glad also to be informed of any re- turning men who need jobs, of whose need I am not aware." CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH HAS ITS COMMENCEMENT «Sunday, Jute 8; "was graduation Day at the, Winnetka Congregational church for the pupils of the Sunday school.
