| AP " WIN ETKA WEEK LY The Timely Record of Community Events TALK VOL. XI, No. 21 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1922 SIXTEEN PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS 4 bIRL CAMPERS HOME FINE EVER THING Community House Group Returns From Lake Ham- lin This Morning GREAT ACHIEVEMENT Establish Splendid Record of Credits We've got the best old camp and bunch of girls, n'everything. We've got a blue, blue lake and two canoes, n'everything. And there is nothing we don't do if the Chief should tell us to; We surely love kim, and think more of him, and mind him-- Well, I'll say we do! Weve got two dandy cooks and oh, such food, n'everything. We've got a swimming beach and div- ing raft, n'everything. So Camp Winnetka, here's to you, and we surely love you, too, And the boats and lake and woods and camp and Chief-- N'everything. This is what the happy group of girl campers from Winnetka are singing these days at Lake Hamlin, Michigan, where they have been in camp for nearly three weeks under the direc- tion of Dr. J. W. F. Davies, assisted by the councillors Mrs. E. W. Wortey, Miss Jean Fahs, Miss Ruth Pease, and Mrs. Archibald Lynne. Blue Berry Pie The girls sleep in tents, and from the time reveille is blown at 6:45 in the morning, until taps are sounded at 9 o'clock, there is not a dull mo- ment. Besides the regular day's rou- tine there is always some special feature planned as a part of the day's 'activity. The girls have hiked over to Lake Michigan twice--sleeping out one night. They have made the trip across the sand-dunes over to the light house on Lake Michigan, reaching the dunes by means of the big war canoes. They have explored the blue-berry marshes and have picked quarts of berries, from which Miss Salveson has made some of her famous blue-berry muffins and pies, to which the campers have done full justice. They have played some match base-ball games-- the finals in the series are yet to be played, and excitement is running high. Last Monday the camp took the all- day trip up the Sauble river. Logs had to be gone over and around by the girls who rowed valiantly against the swift current--but the effort was re- warded when, after a lunch at the first bridge, the boats were easily propelled down the narrow, winding river, which flows its sinuous way between densely wooded banks. The girls are being trained in close observation by means of the "Indian Game" and by "Treasure Hunt." The winners of the latter are Marcia Con- verse and Lois Scharf. Give Stunt Nights During camp, the girls in each tent have given a stunt night at the camp- fire. The wonderful tower, the highest observation point in this part of the country, which was begun by the boys, has been completed by the girls. From the top of this tower "Chief" signalled the over-night campers by lantern, and received an answer by flash-light from those on the shore of Lake Michigan, a distance from the camp of five miles. A group of husky, brown and happy girls arrived in Chicago on the Steam- er "Puritan" this morning at 7 o'clock. Among the Winnetka visitors in camp have been the Misses Gemmell, Mr. and Mrs. George Gordon, Mrs. Carrie B. Prouty, the Misses Ann and Helen Foster, Mr. and Mrs. Harry M. Mess, Mrs. A. Harsh, Miss Clara Harsh, Will and Helen Davis, Mr. and Mrs. T. G. Windes. J. W. F. "Chief" Davies and son Gould, who have been traveling ex- tensively in the west for several weeks, arrived in camp July 24. John Lasier, Northwestern univer- sity graduate, George Eisenbrand, sen- ior in the University of Illinois Dent: al College and Sheldon Gordon, a senior at New Trier High school have been assisting Mr. Davies at the camp. BUYS GLENCOE RESIDENCE R. H. Kurowski, formerly of 221 Woodbine avenue, Wilmette, has pur- chased the seven-room home of Henry Hiebner, at the corner of Milton street and Vernon avenue, Glencoe. R.

NERCHAITS CHAMPS IV BASEBALL REALM Take Another Game from Post Office Crew The Business Men's baseball team again defeated the Mail Men's nine at Skokie Playfield Wednesday evening, by the score of 3-2. This victory gives the merchants the village champion- ship as they have won three out of four games played. Owing to the great in- terest the games have aroused. it was decided to continue the series for a longer period of time. The crowds witnessing the contests have been large and enthusiastic. As a result of 1ts winning the cham- pionship, the Business Men's team has now issued a challenge to any soft ball team on the north shore. They feel confident that they have as good a team as any and are anxious to pit themselves against any worthy oppo- nents. In Wednesday's game it looked at first as if the post office crew would walk away with the game, for they found Bailey for two runs in the first inning. ened up and held them scoreless until the end of the game. Some pretty fielding by his teammates helped him out considerably, a double play in the sixth, Paulsen to Eckhart, retiring the side and getting the pitcher out of a hole. The Business Men came back in the second inning and gathered two runs off Voltz, pitching for the Mail Men. From then on until the fifth inning neither team was able to count, but in the fifth Echart, the merchant's catcher, scored one run, which proved sufficient to win the game. The batteries were: Business Men, Bailey and Eckhart; Post Office, Voltz and Schaefer. Summer Pastor to Preach At Congregational Church Rev. A. B.

SEARCH THE ATTIC HERE "3 THE REASON Parent-Teacher Association Asks Villagers to Furnish Teachers' Apartment DESIRE REAL HOME New Apartments Ready in Hubbard Woods Soon An urgent appeal for donations of furniture, rugs and draperies has been made by the Winnetka Parent-Teach- ers association in connection with its task of furnishing the Teachers' apart- ments in the new building now in course of construction at Gage street and Linden avenue. "The building of these apartments" writes a member of the committee in charge of furnishing the "teachers' home," marks the solution of a pro- blem which has been on the public mind for years. "Now to furnish them suitably, that these women who devote themselves so earnestly and generously to the training of our children may have happy and comfortable homes while they are with us! Look in the Attic! "Winnetka attics are perfect store houses for chairs, tables, beds, (single preferred) lamps, desks, and dress- ers, many of these articles requiring only a little repairing or a coat of var- nish to make them usable and attrac- tive. "Go now, while you think of it-- search out those hidden treasures, telephone anyone of the committee members and arrangements will be made to call for the articles. The committee in charge of furnish- ing the apartments comprises, Mrs Arthur Dean, Mrs. Allan I. Wolff, Mrs. H. BE. Hirsh and Mrs. Frank Stover. The apartments leased by the teach- ers comprise four rooms and kitchenette, providing facilities for home cooking and real homelife as distinguished from the frequently quite unsatisfactory rooming and boarding existence. The apartment and store structure is being built by William H. Aitken, Winnetka architect and builder. Winnetka Golfing Pair Annex Beverly Honors Playing from scratch, J.

The play started Wednesday August 2, and the club management hoped to finish the matches the same day. There are some sixty clubs in the association and it was expected that at least fifty of them would send four-man teams to Indian Hill to compete. Play was to be thirty six holes, medal play. Junior members of all the clubs are eligible to play on the various teams but many of the younger stars will probably be absent from the Indian Hill course on account of the qualify- ing round of the Junior Amateur tournament being held on the same day at Olympia fields. The home team at Indian Hill was to be represented by J. S. Martin, Eddie Hart, W. B. Mclllvaine, B. Mar- tin and E. L. Maxwell. James Martin is the one armed star who proved the sensation in the open meet at Exmoor by his splendid play. Onwentsia, Midlothian and Exmoor were expected to send strong teams, who would give the local team a tough battle. PREPARE THE WAY FOR VILLAGE BEAUTIFUL Proceed to Effect Linden Street Widening What is virtually the initial step in carrying through the "Village Beauti- ful" plan with reference to the Elm, Linden and Oak street business sec- tion, just west of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad park, was taken today when condemnation proceedings properties lying on the west side of Linden street between Elm and Oak street, prepar- ing the way for a widening of street in that block in accordance with the plan outlined by the Winnetka Plan Commission. The proceedings, which will entail an estimated cost of $119,000, provides for the widening of Linden street by taking a 42-foot strip of land from the east portions of all lots Letween Oak and Elm streets on Linden street. It also includes the improvement of the widened thoroughfare by providing for a pavement cf more than 60 foot width and composed of virtrified brick on a concrete base. Principal property owners against whom condemnation suits are to be pressed are Anton J. Vollmann and Leonard Roach. The improvement will mean the removal or cutting back of several store buildings, including the Voltz building, the Bradstreet build- ing, the Vollmann or Adams Pharmacy structure and a store-room building. A business structure on Linden street, now being constructed by the Evanston Packing company, has its building line in conformance with the proposed improvement. The building, also, conforms in architectural design to the scheme outlined by the Plan Commission. Assessment for the proposed im- provement is to be spread over a territory described, roughly, as fol- lows. Properties west of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad right-of- way from Pine street on the north to within approxiinately one-half block north of Willow street on the south and, approximately, as far west as one-half block west of Chestnut street. A portion of the assessment is to be taken up by the Village in public bene- fits, it is said. The hearing on the condemnation suits is to be held Tuesday, September 5, it is announced. The proposed Winnetka Village Hall is to face the widened thoroughfare. "Who Was the Better Man"? Given as Sermon Subject "Who was the better man--the Prodigal or His Brother?" is the ques- tion to be asked py the Rev. Charles A. Tibbals in his sermon at Christ Episcopal church tomorrow morning at the 11 o'clock services. Rev. Tibbals, who is serving as sum- mer pastor at the church while the Rev. E. Ashley Gerhard, the rector, is vacationing, has been attracting fa- vorable comment by his splendid ser- mons, and Sunday's subject promises to encourage a good attendance at the church. thelthe opposition should it be found pos. 51,000 IN PRIZES FOR NEW TRIER DAY Committee Says Generous Donations Indicate Record Sum for Awards MERCHANTS ON JOB Parade, Baseball, Field Events, Etc. on Program With New Trier Day, August 23, | more than three weeks in the future, 8 business men of the township already i are planning for the annual holiday event, its street procession and picnic in the American Legion park at Gross Point. : Many donations, suggestions and of- fers of assistance have been received at the headquarters of the New Trier Commercial association from the busi- ness men and numerous concerns have promised to enter floats in the big Ballyhoo parade which will inaugurate the New Trier Day program.

Looks Like Real Game Getting in on the ground floor, the ' sturdy Glencoe baseball nine has come i forth with a challenge to any team in the town: e on. It is understood that Wilmett letic club nine is desirous of provi sible to assemble the team roster, many of the members of which are usually unavailable for play during the week. However, there are favorable prospects, and the two aggregations certainly are hungering for a clash. New Trier Day begins at sunrise on Wednesday, August 23, and won't be over until the dance music ceases as the clock announces the beginning of another day. Every New Trierite is asked to reserve that day for some real, old-fashioned recreation. Mrs. Lyons Is Pleased to Have You Read This Mrs. E. D. Lyons of 1504 Elmwood avenue, Wilmette. declares she is not too talkative, in spite of the fact that she frequently receives phone calls which put the query "Is 'this the Talk?' The situation is this: Mrs. Lyons' house phone number is Wilmette 388. The Winnetka Weekly Talk number is Winnetka 388. In communicating with the "Talk" many people call Wil- mette 388, assuming, no doubt, that since the Talk newspaper plant is lo- cated in Wilmette, it must follow that the telephone numbers bear the Wil- mette designation. For various reasons, then, including the fact that Mrs. Lyons should not be annoyed, The Winnetka Weekly Talk desires to inform its reading public that the phone number is Winnetka 388, not Wilmette 388. Kiddies Enjoy Sunshine in Fairy Land Winnetka Thirty-two little tots from the Matheon Day Nursery, Chicago, spent a happy summer day in "Fairy Land Winnetka," Friday, July 28.
