iri TN gm Le May 8, 1926 WINNETKA TALK SHOW SKOKIE SCENES Exhibit by Hugo von Hofsten to Show Value of Skokie as 'Playgrounds for General Public the future of Preserve is As recently published, the Skokie as a Forest now assured through a recent de- cision in the Chicago courts. The court decision has made it possible for the Cook County Commissioners to buy the Skokie Valley west of Winnetka, Glencoe and Wilmette for a public playground. About ten years ago Hugo von Hofsten, Winnetka artist, staged a series of exhibitions of his paintings of the Skokie Marsh as a form of propa- ganda to interest the people of the north shore towns in this proposition which has now become a reality. Mr. von Hofsten was at that time the founder and first president of the Society of Forest Preserve painters. Upon his invitation Ransom Kennicott, chief forester of the Forest Preserve, Jens Jensen, landscape architect and Jessie Smith, naturalist and bird- lover, came out to these art exhibits and lectured on the importance of the Skokie lands to the public, from a scientific and from an educational point of view. These men pointed out that this tract of land should be re- served by the public as a playground for the future. At the request of some of the citi- zens of Winnetka, Mr. von Hofsten will this week open an exhibition at the Duncan Studios in Winnetka of some of his recent paintings of the Skokie, to celebrate the fact that this valley for the future will now be saved for the north shore towns. Start Spring Football Practice at New Trier Under the direction of Coaches Wal- ter Aschenbach and Robert H. Car- penter more than 40 football candi- dates are hard at work on spring foot- ball practice this week at New Trier high school. During the spring vari- ous plays will be given to the men and will be tested until the most satis- factory are selected. This will aid con- siderably in getting the team whipped into shape when the real work begins next fall. When New Trier goes in- to the field at that time Captain Tom Copeland will lead a well-balanced team, with Joe and Waddy Paletti, Jackett and Burrows fighting it out for backfield positions and with a line composed almost entirely of veterans.
