November 13, 1926 WINNETKA TALK FIREMEN ENTER THEIR DELUXE STATION HOME Converted Old Village Hall De- clared to Be Finest Fire House in Illinois The stout hearts of every one of the members of the Winnetka Fire department are fairly bubbling over with joy these days. They are unable to comprehend what could give them greater pleasure than the two things which have oc- cured during the past few days, that of moving into what is conceded to be the finest fire station in the state of Illinois, and the receipt of one of the most modern pieces of fire fighting equipment, an American LaFrance combination city service truck and pumper with a 750 gallon per minute minimum capacity. The six regular members of the Win- netka fire department who are sharing all this happiness with their chief, G. M. Houren, are John Schultz, Adolph Bucher, William Schwall, Herman Bucher, David Wood and C. Millard oe. In Nick of Time All summer long the men have been temporarily quartered in a small frame garage building in the Fire Station park, while the new central fire sta- tion home was being completed. Just as the nights began to get too cool to be comfortable for further habita- tion in their temporary quarters, the men were welcomed into their new home. All the interior decorations have not been completed, but rapid progress is being made and Chief Houren hopes the time will not be far distant when he can extend an invita- tion to all Winnetkans to come and inspect their new quarters and new equipment. The apparatus room, the boiler and fuel room, a work shop and storage room, and the office is on the first floor. From the boiler room there is an opening into the base of the north west tower in which arrangements have been made for draining and dry- ing 2,000 feet of hose at a time. Completely Equipped On the second floor is the large dormitory, equipped with splendid beds and lockers for each of the men, a large private room for Chief Houren, a large bath room, with tile floor and shower sfalls, a large and completely equipped kitchen where a gas range and all sorts of dishes are provided so the men mav do their own cooking when they desire and some day it is said to be the ambition of every one of the men to become as good a cook as Bill Schwall. There is but one thing lacking to make the furnishings complete, and that is in the squad room where the | only present diversion for the men will be an occasional game of cards, check- ers or chess, but there is an abundance of room for a pool table and a radio. And these--some day they hope to have, "Hell and Heaven" Is Sunday Sermon Subject "Hell and Heaven" is the sermon topic announced by the Rev. James Austin Richards, for his Sunday morn- ing sermon at 11 o'clock, at the Win- netka Congregational church. In the evening at 8 o'clock, Rev. Thomas A. Goodwin will preach on "Religion as the Interpreter of Life." ' PITCHES BEST QUOITS Fred Radmer Outpitches Postmaster Adams to Win Silver Cup for Village Horseshoe Championship Fred Radmer is the "Champeen" horse shoe pitcher of Winnetka. He won the distinguished title last Saturday afternoon over the only per- son in the village who was eligible to contest with him, Postmaster Elmer E. Adams. Radmer and Adams are the team champions of the village, also, and the two fine silver cups awarded by the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce for these events will soon be on exhibition in the show windows of the Adams' drug store, Elm street and Linden ave- nue. The team championship was won by Radmer and Adams the day of the Winnetka day celebration. The con- test determining the individual cham- pionship had been postponed, owing to an accident which befell Mr. Rad- mer and from which he recently re- covered sufficiently to enter upon the task of wresting further honors from his team mate. Postmaster Adams, however, agrees that Mr. Radmer has fully recovered, judging from the manner in which he tossed ringers in the games last Sat- urday. They played on the courts at West End park, where William Happ, chair- man of the Chamber of Commerce committee on the horse shoe games, was official score keeper. It was to be the best two out of three games. Only two games were required, both of which Radmer won, the first score being 50 to 35 and the second, 50 to 23. In the first game, Radmer tossed eight ringers to his opponent's three and without displaying the least de- gree of mercy, threw ten ringers in the second game to his opponent's two. But then, the championship is still open to challenge, and when the warm spring time comes again, Postmaster Adams may decide to again call for a second try for the honored cup.

APPLEJACK," PLAY AT NEW TRIER Feverish Activity at Auditorium in Preparation for Dramatic Club's Production By G. W.C. Exciting things are happening these days in the New Trier auditorium, where the cast of "Captain Applejack" is rehearsing. What with hold-ups and hidden treasures and secret maps and women's screams and pirates' curses, the place is very merry indeed. And besides these, there can be heard such insignificant things as a cornet lesson proceeding shrilly in an adjoining | room, stage-hands pounding vigorous- 'ly on parts of the scenery, and the steam pipes beginning their annual thumping complaint of the cold. Ah, yes, preparations for a play are very interesting, and it must be added, rather noisy. : The play in preparation, "Captain Applejack," by Walter Hackett, is to be presented by the New Trier Dra- matic club Saturday evening, Novem- ber 20. The cast, which is now rehears- ing under the able directorship of Miss Versatility in Performance in Win- | Elisabeth Stanwood, is as follows: netka Last Thursday The North Shore Glee club, which is composed of men of the north shore, staged a surprising and amusing mins- trel show, the evening of Thursday, November 4, at the Winnetka Wom- an's club. After an opening selection by the orchestra, the curtain rose on a reg- ular minstrel show, not given now by many organizations. A dignified gen- tleman in frock coat, goatee and sweeping whiskers and wearing a tall silk hat, faced the audience from the center of the semi-circle of black shining faces. This gentleman, who "called" the numbers as interlocutor, was Al Bartels, manager of the Na- tional Tea Store. Al had a line a mile long. The first "cullud genmen" Al called on was Stanton Wilhite who waved his arms and rolled his eyes while cracking jokes. Mr. Wilhite gave some remarkable imitations of ani- mals. Then, in turn, the members of the "black gang," who wore bright ces- tumes with stiff shirt fronts, and flap- ping collars, sang popular numbers. Harry Roberts sang, "Me Too," Hen- ry Klauke, "I Love to Call You My Sweetheart," Harold Brown, "Stars," Walter Klauke "I Wanna Go Back Again Blues," Leo Schramm gave an amusing recital, Robert Klauke, "O What a Marvelous Gal," and Leo Brown and Jack Schultz acted as end men. Backing up the blacked-up mem- bers of the club were a group who sang heartily and added much to the chorus work. They were in tuxedos and did their work without much applause, as they did not appear per- sonally. - Little Ervin Baron, who was hidden behind Al Bartels, came out and gave one of the most popular of sengs, "Bye Bye Blackbird." Ervin is only about 8 years old, but he knew the words per- fectly and was encored again and again. A little girl, Miss Margaret, gave a fine Charleston act, together with Er- vin Baron. se The girls' chorus, and the rest of the acts, which included a piano solo, a comedy act and a vocal solo, were reported to be excellent, and the clos- ing number given by the entire club called, "Close Harmony," was pro- nounced a s finale. land 70 nl Ty Wr Ralph Arnold Yoppy:-Faire ...............

Here's the very play for those grown-ups who have forgotten that they ever put on >ld bandanas and brass curtain rings for buried treasure in their backyards; a play for those whose "Treasure Islands" have long lain out dust-covered in the attic or untouched on a shelf; a play for all men and women who have left adven- ture and romance behind them. "Cap- tain Applejack" will help bring back to these people things that were lost in the past. Glamour and Romance! Thrills and real Humor! These are the qualities that make "Captain Applejack" a fine play and truly a play for all. Rev. George MacAdam Glencoe Pastor, Dead The Rev. George H. MacAdam, for the past three years pastor of the North Shore Methodist Episcopal church at Glencoe, died at his home, 600 Vernon avenue, Tuesday morning at 12:30 o'clock, following an illness of a month's duration.

Smith, pastor of the Wilmette Meth- odist church. The sermon was by Dr. Smith. Burial was at Effingham, TIl, where a daughter, Mrs. Charles Moritz, the only child of Dr. and Mrs. McAdam, resides.
