Fuller, 362 Haw- thorn lane, a Gold Star mother, is herewith published as an expression of opinion concerning the proposed erection, by public subscription, of a War Memorial school in Winnetka as a permanent memorial to Winnet- ka's Gold Star heroes. Plans for launching a campaign for raising a fund by popular subscription, formu- lated by the Winnetka Liberty Mem- orial committee and which were an- nounced in the issue of the Talk of Friday, August 1, 1919, are the bas- is for the accompanying communi- cation : August 3, 1919 To the Editor of the Winnetka Weekly Talk. . Dear Sir -- I have read with surprise the article in your recent issue des- cribing an apparently finished plan to raise funds for the build- ing of a public school as a mem- orial to our heroes of the late war. By all means let us have such a school if it is needed, but do not let us appear to exploit our boys as a way of securing the necessary money, which should in no case be raised by private subscription but paid by the commonwealth. Nor does it seem to those most deeply interested that any build- ing far out on the edge of the Skokie would he appropriate as a memorial. I have talked with our other Gold Star mothers and all are a unit in protesting against the plan. Had they been consulted 1 am sure they would have preferred some simple but permanent re- minder to be placed on the Vil- lage Green where our dear lads have so often played and where all the people congregate on holi- days. Here many things are needed for th ecomfort of those who gather on such occasions, such as a rost- rum for the speakers. This might also support the flag staff and have a beautiful arch of stone or concrete, with benches and drink- ing fountain below. The arch could bear the names of those who gave their lives for their country, Here they and their sacrifice would be fitly remembered and en- shrined near the heart of our peo- ple; here where the Christmas Carols are sung, where games are played by our little children, and where the whole Village gathers on the Fourth of July to commem- orate the birth of our independ- ance. Where could any site be found so intimately and deeply appropriate to preserve the mem- ory of those who laid down their lives for liberty? I have personally been consult- ed about five different memorials including one near Boston and one in the heart of New York City, and in each case the approval of the Gold Star parents was asked before announcing the plans. Two of these organizations were Yale College and the Chicago His- torical Society. If their kindly deference is merely an act of graceful courtesy, yet it shows respect to those who have given their all, and it certainly brings a glow of warmth to the heart. This letter.is net intended as a -criticism of the. committee in charge which is undoubtedly act- uated only by zeal for the public good. Tt is . merely -a personal opinion which perhaps it takes some courage to express at this time. : In. conclusion I have the honor to remain, Yours very truly, Laura Hayes Fuller. Baseball; Golf, Events for All Ages, At New Trier Day Outing at Playfield Fine: ic 5, et soe There was a regular old- time picnic and outing at Skokie Playfield Park at the west end of Elm street, Winnetka Thursday, the occasion of the annual out- ing of the New Trier: Town- ship Commercial association. It was New Trier Day and hundreds of residents of the township took ad- vantage of the opportunity to have a real vacation day at the beautiful north shore park. Business houses throughout the township were closed all day with few exceptions such as drug stores and, in.some towns, the banking insti- tutions. All employers and employes, with their families, were prepared for the big day of recreation. An excellent program was arrang- |ed and every resident, of any age | and either sex, was afforded an op- | portunity to compete in one or other | of the many events. : An indoor baseball game was | scheduled for the morning with em- ployers and employes vieing for hon- ors; also a Tug 0° War was arranged | with employers and employes as competitors. A special prize was of- | fered for the winners in these events. Golfing contests were a part of the | morning program with other special events as, baseball throwing, nail-| driving (for girls) and a water melon eating contest, (competition unlimit- ed). On the afternoon program wera field events for all ages and both sex- es for the kiddies to fat man's races, married women's races, potato races and miscellaneous events. The final event on the program was a scheduled ball game between the Winnetka T. A. Cs. and a picked team from Wilmette. Wilmette won 12 to 10. Prizes, because of their wide vari- | ety, are deserving of special men- | tion. Practically every business house lon 'the north shore contributed | some useful article as a prize in one or other of the many contes:-. These tokens ranged from safety razors to butcher's cleavers, and from handker- chiefs to dresses. One of the inter- esting prizes was an inner-tube pre- sented by one of the Wilmette garage owners. : "3 A north shore truck line pro-: vided free- transportation to and fro between Winnetka railway stations | at Elm street and the Skokie park. | The complete program of events was as follows: SEs Program 10:00 A.
