! April 24, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 29 'COOK COUNTY FALLS Many BEHIND CAMP QUOTA Organizations Boost Training Camps: Young Men Urged to Apply Cook County is again lagging be- ¢ hind in filling its quota for the Citizens' . Military Training Camp to be held during August, at Fort Sheridan. Ac- cording to the figures prepared by Colonel Noble Brandon Judah, Civilian ; Aide to the Secretary of War for the Sixth Corps Area, comprising the States of Illinois, Wisconsin and Michi- gan, the quota allowed Illinois outside of Chicago is already filled. Wisconsin and Michigan quotas will be filled in a few more weeks. "Splitting up the big camp at Custer has proven popular with the students in training," said Colonel Judah. "It is expected that the placing of a camp at Fort Sheridan will do more than anything else to draw out the boys from this part of the state. Heretofore there has been a good deal of compe- ' tition for the training camp provided by the various summer activities to be found within a short distance of Chi- / cago. But with this well equipped camp right at the doors of four million peo- ple it is expected that the quota wih be filled before the end of May. "Various civic organizations are tak- ing hold this year to help the work along. The Moose and Elks athletic clubs and other organizations are busy trying to bring out youths for the month's training and there is no doubt - the quota at Fort Sheridan will be filled with boys from Cook County. The quota will be filled at any rate because there are always many hundreds more _ applicants received from various sec- tions of the three states than can be taken care of in their specific quotas. In other years Cook County's quota has been made up in this way." Boys in Winnetka, between the ages 'of 17 and 22 years, desiring to enter ' this or other training camps this sum- mer, are requested by Major Fred E. Clerk, in charge of the Winnetka area, to communicate with him at once, that they may be sure to obtain a listing in the Winnetka quota.

In the last ten years, the North Shore Line has paid $20,736,035 in salaries to employes who live and spend their money in the North Shore territory. In the same period this railroad has paid $2,090,2 in taxes to the communities it serves. In the last five years, it has paid $1,396,927 in dividends, and $3,591,502 in interest on bonds, equipment notes and property mortgages, most of which has gone to investors residing in North Shore communities. In these and other ways, the North Shore Line turns back the biggest share of its revenues to the com- munities it serves to be re-invested with the business institutions of North Shore cities and towns. - * - - . 150 special tele phones all along the line report the progress of North North Shore Line operates in Chicago over Shore Line trains to tracks of Shi the despatcher's office we at Highwood . . . .
