WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1925 TIME AT HAND T0 AID CENTER Sunday, April 5, Date Set for Annual Solicitation for Community House FIX A $25,000 BUDGET It Is Like Giving to a Great "Village Chest" On Sunday, April 5, nearly 150 volun- teers will ask residents of Winnetka to make a contribution or a pledge for the financial support of Community House during 1925. A budget of $25,000 is stated by the Board of Governors to be necessary for the operation and maintenance of this village institution, since the enlargement of its buildings and activities a year ago. But $11,000 has already been pledged for 1925 by the Congregational church and those contributing through it. About 1,000 persons pay the active mem- bership dues of $2 a year. This leaves $12,000 to be secured in this campaign. Volunteers Pledge Help At a luncheon on Monday at the City club in Chicago, some 20 men heard the plans of the finance committee and pledged their assistance. The town has been divided into 14 zones, with a capta'n and lieutenant in each. A large number of men have been asked to help by mak- ing calls on Sunday afternoon, April 3, and by securing pledges from about 1,400 households. Zone captains include the following list: Henry A. Gardner, Lloyd R. Steere Harve G. Badgerow, William T. Car- many, Benjamin J. Kellum, Clarence W. Happ, Fred F. Parsons, Lloyd Faxon, Edward P. Farwell, William C. Boyden, Jr, Fred B. Thomas, E. A. Rummler, Myron T. Harshaw, Robert C. Meleney, Charles J. Eastman, Joseph E. Winter- botham, Barret Conway, Charles L. Trumbull, Theodore G. Rockwell and Darrell S. Boyd. The Board of Governors are: Dr. J. W. F. Davies, Ayres Boal, William C. Boyden, A. Earl Bryson, Victor Ei- ting, Edward P. Farwell, S. Bowles King, Lawrence M. Stein, George D. Wolf and Carl A. Zeiss. Messrs. Boal, Bryson, Wolf, Zeiss and King comprise the finance committee. Budget Is Itemized Auto Maintenance +... 0. $ 200.00 Insurance Annuity... taint cnn 135.00 Be of ca 746.75 Halloween.

During the past year, 87 groups employed Com- munity House regularly, and the attend- ance from March 1, 1924 to March 1, 1925 was 106,446. This is the largest attendance in the history of the institu- tion, and shows that the new building is serving the purposes for which it was constructed. There are some evenings on which every room in the entire House is in use. So that a contribution to Community House is not a gift to a single cause. It is almost a pledge to a "village chest," including as it does, the support of the Ybe NEW MARMON MARMON NORTH SHORE SALES and SERVICE 1008 Davis St. Greenleaf 1038 Open Every Evening until 9:30 A CORRECTION It was inferred in an ac- count of the endorsement of John S. Miller, Jr., by the Tax Payers' league that he was its candidate for village president. Mr. Miller is a candidate on the Citizens' ticket, nominated at the village caucus, which auto- matically prevents his being a candidate on any other ticket. In other words, there is no can- didate for village president on the Tax Payers' ticket. Boy Scouts, with three troops and more than 100 boys enrolled; the Camp Fire Girls, with eight groups and 90 active members; the American Legion, and the Triangle club, for which special rooms are maintained ; nine English and Ameri- canization classes for foreign-born resi- dents; a large club for working girls and women; several national social groups, gymnasium and dancing classes and games for many groups, both chil- dren and adults, and scores of other worthwhile activities. Many of these, if maintained separate- 'y, would each receive individual sub- scriptions from the villagers equal to or even exceeding what is now given in a single sum to Community House. "Can we not think of the many nec- essary and splendid enterprises which this one institution fosters and maintains, which help so greatly to make Winnetka harmonious, healthful place to live in," ask the Governors, "and make an annual con:ribution which will help these activ- ities to continue their usefulness and to provide for growth and for careful direction ?"

Rogers of 375 Chestnut street, is home from the Lawrenceville school for his spring holidays. ee Mrs. Ralph Varney of 535 Cherry street will be hostess this evening at a birthday party to which the guests will come dressed as children. --Q-- Mrs. Hugo Pick of 1192 Chatfield road, entertained about 100 guests at a dinner-dance at the Sovereign hotel, "riday evening March 20.
