Richards At the graduating exercises of the Chicago Theological seminary the hon- orary degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred on the Rev. James A. Rich- ards, of Winnetka, and the Rev. Rob- ert J. Locke, of Urbana, Ill "James Austin Richards, scholar and preacher, you have given distinguished service in the leadership of a commun- ity church; you have provided through your pulpit ministry inspiration and guidance to a wide and varied society; mn recognition of this achievement the Board of Directors of the Chicago Theological Seminary confers upon you the degree of Doctor of Divinity." In those words Dr. Ozora S. Davis, president of the seminary presented a certificate carrying all the honors of the doctor's degree to Mr. Richards and the hood was placed upon him. Thus was Doctor Richards honored. "This is also an honor to the church which he serves and the community in which he lives," comments one of the members of the Winnetka Congrega- tional church. "All rejoice with him in this honor and extend to him hearty congratulations in that his ability and service have been so recognized by an institution of such high standing." Announce Special Golf Events for Playfield Patrons An enterprising program of special events for the Winnetka Playfield golf course was announced by W. S. King, chairman of the tournament committee of the Winnetka Playfield association, at a meeting of that organization at the Community House last Tuesday eve- ning. Among other special events sched- uled for the month of June there will be the annual costume tournament. There will also be two ball mixed foursomes every Sunday afternoon. Well known professionals will be se- cured to stage exhibitions with local men during the summer, it was said. Much interest has been shown in the twilight golf, between 6 o'clock in the evening and dark, when members play 18 holes in competition. The course is in excellent shape this year and a record attendance is expected. There is a new ruling that at the short holes players step aside and let those following them drive for the green. Those in the lead then putt while the others are walking up. Players are warned to be careful about replacing turf, as directors of the as- sociation are on the look-out to see that this is done. Association dues are now payable, it was said, and no one will be allowed to play on the course without the tag. VACATION SCHOOL JUNE 28 Christ Church will hold a Daily Va- cation Church school again this sum- mer, beginning Monday, June 28, at the Parish house.. School will be held five mornings a week from 9 until 12 o'clock. There will be three depart- ments--kindergarten, for children 4 and 5 years of age; primary--ifor children 6 to 9 years old, inclusive; and junior-- for children 10 and 11 years old. Further information can be secured from Miss Holgate, at the Parish House, telephone Winnetka 884. - ~~ BOY SCOUTS CONDUCT ANNUAL FIELD MEET Contests in Glencoe Forest Pre- serve Held June 1; Heavy Rains Fail to Mar The Winnetka Boy Scouts had a very successful annual field meet Mon- day, June 1, at the Glencoe Forest Preserve.
