4 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1923 BAKULE SINGERS LAUD WINNETKA Residents Marvel at Singing of Famous Czecho-Slovak- ian Children's Chorus GUESTS AT LUNCHEON Skokie School Comes in for Share of Praise The Bakule Chorus, sent by President Masaryk and the Junior Red Cross to show by song the gratitude of Czecho- Slovakia to America, was given a most enthusiastic welcome in the Jane Kup- penheimer Memorial hall in the Skokie school Monday afternoon of this week. It was generally conceded that their's was the most beautiful child singing that any in the audience had ever had the privilege of hearing. The children and Director Bakule was encored repeatedly. A program of songs and folk dancing was followed by a demonstration by Frantik, one of the Bakule children, who was born without arms. Frantik took a note book and pencil from his inside coat pocket, wrote in the note book and replaced it; took a penknife out of a case, opened the knife and used it; took a match from a box, and struck it; and in other ways showed the remarkable skill of the feet that Director Bakule had taught to work: Local Women Preceding the concert a luncheon was served to the children of the Bakule group, to the North Shore Red Cross Reception committee of which Mrs. James A. Patten of Evanston was chair- man and Mrs. Willoughby Walling of Winnetka representative, to the teachers of the Skokie school, the principals of all Winnetka schools, and other guests. This luncheon was prepared under the chairmanship of Mrs. Felix Balak, a Czech mother living in Winnetka, ably assisted by Mrs. Emil Soukup and a number of other generous and helpful Czech residents of the village. At this luncheon Director Bakule spoke through an interpreter. He said: Lauds Skokie School "We have always known that there are strong ties between Czecho-Slovakia and America. But as I have seen the Skokie school and felt its spirit, I have come to realize that there are also in- tellectual ties. This school is closer in spirit to the work that we have been trying to do than any school that I have seen in America. Your work shops do not look like the shops of children who are forced to do a certain specified prob- lem in wood work, but like shops to which children go joyously to make things in which they have real interest. Feel at Home* Here "We feel very much at home here. The welcome given to us by the Czech people in Winnetka and this luncheon fill us with gratitude. This beautiful cake which has just been presented to us is a very sweet gift. We are afraid you will spoil us with too much sweet- ness. We came to America to try to pay a debt of gratitude which we owe, but you are making us still more your debtors." Thanks Red Cross Mrs. Felix Balak, speaking as the representative of all Bohemians and Czecho-Slovakians in Winnetka, has re- quested the Winnetka Talk to convey an expression of sincere thanks from these residents to the American Red Cross and to Superintendent Washburne for making it possible to have the Bakule Chorus visit Winnetka. Mrs. Balak speaks in glowing terms of the Red Cross, but for the timely aid from which, she says, the children of her native country would have faced certain starvation. Council Committee Seeks North Avenue Zone Change The Plats and Zoning committee of the village council Tuesday evening of this week, at the regular council session, reported on the proposed amendment to the Zoning ordinance recommended to the council by the Board of Appeals, referring the mat- ter back to the Board of Appeals with a recommendation to reconsider the area at North and Linden avenues zoned as "B" residence.
