we A oy R WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1925 : AWAIT BIG CAMP FIRE GATHERING Winnetka Units to Join in Big Meeting Looking toward The National Con- vention of Camp Fire executives to be held in Chicago the week of April 18, some facts concerning this great movement and the big program for growing girls which it presents may be of general interest. Camp Fire Girls, as an organization was established in 1912 in response to a great growing need for proper su- pervision and an adequate, construc- tive and interesting program for adolescent girls; one that should bring to them a deeper consciousness of the meaning of the home, the joy of the great out-of-doors, the value of fine health, and that should promote an attitude of giving service and of find- ing joy in the simple every-day things of life, and that should make for finer womanhood and more useful citizen- ship. Camp Fire is full if idealism, and symbolism as well as of practicalities. The great inspiration for this sym- bolism came from Dr. and Mrs. Luth- er Halsey Gulick who were the first directors of Camp Fire. Among others active in its organization dur- ing the early years were William Chauncy Langdon, Mrs. Charles H. Farnsworth, Prof. Mary Schenck Woolman, Dr. Anna L. Brown, of the Y. W. C. A, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Thompson Seton, and James West of the Boy Scouts. Membership is 160,000 There are over 160,000 Camp Fire Girls in every state of the Union and in 20 foreign countries. It functions in the churches, schools, and com- munity centers. It is nonsectarian in character. Almost as soon as this great move- ment was organized, it was brought into our own community, and has con- tinued to grow until Winnetka can boast of the strongest unit of Camp Fire Girls on the north shore. Its headquarters are in Community House. It is filling a vital need in the lives of the adolescent girls, and through co-operation with the school and the home it can be extended to every girl over 11 years of age. Lopportunity to see what Camp o offer will be given during in when Chicago Camp Fire put on a Grand ceremonial 1 "9% or council fire) in Orchestra hall on Monday evening, April 20. The wealth of inspiration and beauty to be found in such a ceremonial is difficult to imagine. It must be seen to be ap- preciated, and arrangements are be- ing made for a large delegation to at- tend from Winnetka. All who are interested in the best in girlhood may have the privilege of attending this if arrangements are made soon with the Winnetka Executive of Camp Fire Mrs. E. W. Wortley, at Community House. Winnetka Camp Fire Giris are planning to attend, and mothers and fathers are urged to keep this date in mind and come with their daughters. There will be further an- nouncements later. Don't Forget, District 9 Polling Place Is Changed Voters in election district No. 9 are again reminded that the polling place in the distri¢t has been changed from the Masonic temple building to the Parr and Powell Electric shop at 748 Elm street. This change will be effective at the township and village elections on April 7. The district is described as follows: Beginning at the shore of Lake Michi- gan and the center line of Elm street; thence west along the center line of Elm street to the Chicago and North Western railroad; thence southwesterly along the Chicago and North Western railroad to the center line of Willow street; thence east along the center line of Willow street to the shore line of Lake Michi- gan; thence north along the shore line of Lake Michigan to the center line of Elm street. Canadian Author to Speak at Christ Church Sunday George A. Warburton of Toronto, widely known author, orator, poet and lover of nature, will be the speaker at the 11 o'clock services at Christ church Sunday morning, March 29. Mr. Warburton, who has been a guest at the John R. Leonard home, 861 Bry- ant avenue, this week, spoke before the Winnetka Men's club Thursday evening, when he was accorded an enthusiastic re- ception. His talk on that occasion was characterized as tremendously interest- ing. Mr. Warburton is a prominent lay- man in the Episcopal church and his ad- dress on Sunday is expected to bring a large attendance of villagers. Miss Lois Coffin, 841 Prospect ave- nue, left March 27, for a two weeks' visit to New York and Bryn Mawer college, from which she graduated. CANDIDATES TO SPEAK AT MASS MEETINGS (Continued from page 1) consideration. Therefore, it is obvious that a vote of the meeting would be against the proposal and the board can not go by the sentiment expressed there but must investigate the plaus- ibility of the objections and accord- ingly decide whether or not to go on or to drop the matter. "The sole object in buying the land on the west side which has arounsed the obpections of the Tax Payers' league, is to prevent its being sub- divided and sold for building lots. The land is a marsh, absolutely unin- habitable. Those who own it were refused permission to sell it for build- ing purposes by the village, whereup- on there were threats of court action and the Park board received a peti- tion asking that it be bought for park purposes. Building Would be Unhealthful "Thats 1s all bosh about building tennis courts and baseball diamonds and bridle paths. It was never intend- ed to do such things. The idea was merely to acquire it so as to prevent the village from spreading too far westward and building in an unhealth- ful region. "It is all a complicated mattter and not clear at the first glance. The res- idents of this village are public-spirit- ed citizens and take an interest in vil- lage affairs. They like to understand what is going on and it is for this reason that we are holding the meet- ings. Every phase of the situation will be explained before the time comes to vote on it. It is a good thing to have a contest in the village but the caucus was careful to pick out good candidates and they are the best qualified, in every case, to fill the positions for which they are running." The village election will be held Tuesday, April 7, which is a week from next Tuesday. It is expected that this will be one of the hottest village election fights witnessed in years. Third of Legion "Hops" Scheduled for Tonight Tonight is the occasion of the third winter dance to be given by Winnetka Post of the American Legion. The scene is Community House and the dance coaxers will be none other than Ted Morse and his well known syn- copators. Arrangements for the dance have been in charge of a special committee comprising Tom Brown, chairman, Ar- thur Gedge, Dr. H. J. Lynn, Ernest Campbell, Marcus Richards, A. Lee Adams and Fred Richardson. Special prizes await the fair con- tingent at the dance and there is prom- ise of some rare surprises. Yes, there will be refreshments. Mrs. A. D. F. Cadenhead of Pitts- burgh is a guest at the home of Mr. Mrs. W. M. Thompson, 872 Burr ave- nue, Winnetka. BABY PEGGY IN TUESDAY FILM Wright Story Is Booked for Next Friday The coming week promises big things for the entertainment of patrons of the Community House movies. Two =xceptionally fine pictures will be seen there when Baby Peggy occupies the screen on Tuesday in "The Darling of New York" and Harold Bell Wright's "The Mine With The Iron Door" is 'eatured on Friday. Baby Peggy, the tiny starlet who has created such a sensation in film cir- cles for hér characterizations as a comedy kiddie, has been lifted into the ranks of big feature stars. She makes her initial appearance in a multi-reel production in "The Darling of New York", a dramatic, fast-moving melodrama which has its setting in the Ghetto district of New York. The picture was filmed from an original story by King Baggot who also di- rected. On the same program the inimitable politician, Andy Gump, will appear in a two-reel comedy, assisted by Min and little Chester. A Spanish legend more than three centuries old of a mysterious lost mine fabulously rich in gold ore forms the background for the story of "The Mine With The Iron Door." That gold, like true love, is where you find it, and that neither is to be possess¢éd without long and arduous struggle, is the guiding theme of this film version of Harold Bell Wright's latest and greatest novel which has heen transferred to the screen with a faithfulness to the story text that is seldom found in picture adaptation. LEGION NEWS From the Post Adjutant It was reported last week that Cap- tain Snell was in the hospital. This was an error. His doctor having advised a postponement until next week. Commander Savage has requested that all Posts subscribe to the American Legion Relief fund for the victims of the tornado, all subscriptions be forwarded through Winnetka Post No. 10. Mail checks marked "Tornado Relief" to WINNETKA TALK. This matter will be taken up at the next meeting and it is hoped that a substantial sum will be voted from the general fund for this worthy cause.
