INDIAN HILL AFTER IMPROVED STATION Station and Train Hasten Appoint Special Committee To Improved Train Facilities Service The Indian Hill Improvement asso- ciation began its winter activities under auspicious circumstances at a meeting held in the New Trier High school last Monday night. The mess hall of the school was filled with an enthusiastic growth which promises well for a successful year for the association. The committee chairmen and com- mittee members were announced. In addition to the previous committees, an important new committee has been formed called the Station and Train Service committee. The Indian Hill district has for a long time felt the need of improved station facilities, and the formation of this committee has as its main objective the ac- complishment of this long felt need. Tt is improbable that a permanent structure will be erected until the question of track elevation or de- pression is finally settled, though in the meantime the community hopes work of the evening with a very en- couraging showing, having signed up! practically all those in attendance. | This committee expects to give every- | one in the district an opportunity to! join in the association's activities, and the officers are confident that at the conclusion of their efforts the Indian | Hill Improvement association will be, | in point of number, as well as in- fluence, one of the most represent- ative organizations of its kind on the entire north shore. Hear Musical Program In the course of the evening's pro- gram, the association was favored with several musical numbers. Mrs. C. Russell Small and Mr. W.

It is quite true that some people ad- | here so strictly to their own reading of Biblical laws that they refuse to have their photographs taken. These very particular people insist that Exodus 20:4--"Thou shalt not ig unto thee any graven image, or aly likeness of anything"--forbids the taking of photographs or the painting of portraits.
