The reported con- series given on Sunday afternoon by ANNOUNCE PROGRAMS Plan Many Events for Both Men and Women The 1923 season for the Winnetka Playfield association has arrrived and all residents of Winnetka are being urged to join that community recrea- tion body without delay. The associa- tion promotes the use of the village parks for golf, tennis, baseball and all other sports, in co-operation with the Winnetka Park board. Tourna- ments are conducted and competi- tions of various kinds fostered, prizes sideration was $200,000. The transfer represents acquisition by Gonsalves and Roach of a 1,000 foot frontage including 300 feet of which is on Elm street and 375 feet on Oak street. It is the plan of the new owners to continue the Carlton to the Prouty An- nex structure and, likewise to extend the adjoining roadway that distance north. Mr. Gonsalves has moved his office into the Prouty building in the store formerly ocupied by the O'Brien Hat Shop, where the offices of the new properties will be maintained. Mr. Gonsalves purchased the Vollman block last October. It is thought this week's transaction is the largest single transfer of business property in the history of the village. From the new owners of the Prouty holdings, the proprietor of the O'Brien Hat Shop has purchased the store spaces The session of the Men's Sunday Morning Class last week provoked much earnest discussion of the man who dares stand alone in contrast with the man who always follows the crowd. There was considerable sym- pathy expressed for the person who feels so dependent on the group he belongs to as to feel obliged to follow its customs blindly. This was il- lustrated especially by the present disrespect of some for the federal prohibition amendment. On the other hand the class expressed a strong sentiment in favor of fearlessness in all such situations. It also registered a strong belief that popularity does not have to be sacrificed for con- science. Concrete instances were cited of the different types of per- sonality, including that of the man who can refuse to follow social cus- leading Winnetka men. Last Sunday the boys were addressed 'by Henry F. Tenny on the subject "The Three I['s--Intelli- gence, Integrity and Industry." He gave a very ingenious talk and was given an enthusiastic reception. Motion pictures of Arden Shore ac- tivities were shown at Comunity House Friday evening of this week. Five boys from the camp augmented the program with a group of songs. Earlier in the evening the boys were dinner guests at the home of Mrs. August Magnus. Boys at Arden Shore camp, as most residents of the village know, are taken from Chicago tenement homes at the instance of the Chicago Board of Edu- cation. They are brought to the camp in an undernourished condition and un- able, because of physical infirmities, to secure working certificates so that they may help in the support of their families. SINGERS ARE CRIPPLED Sing Folk Songs and Exhibit Fine Art Work The Bakule Chorus, comprising crippled children from Prague, Cze- cho-Slovakia now touring the United States under auspices of the Amer- ican Red Cross, will appear in Win- netka at the Jane Kuppenheimer Memorial hall at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, May 14.

At the business session, beginning promptly at 11:30 o'clock, there will be short reports of the year's work and the election of officers and chairmen of precincts. At the close of the business meeting, Mrs. Emmons Blaine, Jr., will bring to the league some of the interesting fea- has its impulse in feminine urgings and approbation. But, as in a classic instance, it probably is unfair not to let Eve give her own interpretation of the relationship. L All this grew out of a study of the sublime hours of Gethsemane. There was a man who dared to face the hard facts of life alone. Away from the crowd he reached his conclusion upon the great issues of life. Alone! Yes, alone, so far as men were con- cerned; they had no influence on his thinking. Yet not alone, for he faced the issues of life before a Presence that clarified and rarified all his think- ing and that, without detracting in the least from his personal attrac- tiveness, inspired him with courage to meet his crisis with cheer even hough all the world should forsake im.

SOVIET RUSSIA, LECTURE TOPIC Madame Ponafidine Speaks Here on May 17 A large number of Winnetka residents have received complimentary tickets to a lecture to be given in the Skokie School auditorium on the evening of May 17, by Madame Pierre Ponafidine. Madame Ponafidine is an American, the widow of a Russian diplomat, and In its appearance before the Win- netka audience, the Bakule chorus will sing some of the folk songs of Eastern FEurope and demonstrate some of the folk dances. Included in the native songs will be some of the weirdly beautiful gypsy music and lyrics of the Zingara. Classical Music Classical music, too, will have its place. Tt has been said that in all the range of national music nothing is 'more dignified and impressive than the stately hymns and chorals of the Bohemians and the Moravians. A few of these national pieces are being sung by the chorus in its appearances before prominent Americans. Another phase of the Winnetka pro- gram will be the exhibits of handi- work that children in the chorus-per- form. Early in their lives these crip- pled children are forced to earn their July Class tournament.
