XVI, NO. 14 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, JUNE 11, 1927 PRICE FIVE CENTS IMPROVEMENT BODY WANTS SUGGESTIONS Village Improvement Association Board of Managers Want Co- operation of Residents On June 6 a meeting of the board of managers of the Village Improve- ment association of Winnetka was held in the Community House. Presi- dent Charles H. Coffin was in the chair. Several important matters, rela- tive to the association, were discussed. The treasurer was authorized to give the Village Manager $40 to be used at his discretion in immediately cleaning up the business section of the village. The association has been maintain- ing for several years a collection of pictures and statuary located in the Greeley and Horace Mann schools, in New Trier high school, and in the Winnetka Public library. The total value of the collection is placed by the insurance company at $4,000. The most recent addition to the collection was the mural painting and Gold Star tablet, a Soldiers' Memorial at the Horace Mann school. The board of managers voted to award, outright, this collection to the three groups, i. e., Winnetka Public School board, New Trier High School board and board of the Winnetka Public library. Relate History It was deemed advisable to again call the attention of the villagers to the association's activities, covering many years. It was originated in 1895 in the home of James H. Hunt, in whose memory an elm tree is planted on the Commons. Until the present form of government, the asso- ciation actively did many things which have now fallen under the jurisdiction of the present Village Manager. Now the association gives many civic en- terprises its hearty support. It stands ready to assist whenever possible. The board of managers also asks for any suggestions that the readers of the WINNETKA TALK can make for either furthering or enlarging its ac- tivities. Any communications directed to WINNETKA TALK will be given every consideration.

TO DISCUSS WINNETKA DAY PLANS Invite All Business and Profes- sional Folk to Attend Dinner Meeting Next Monday The June meeting of the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce will be held Monday evening of next week, at which time plans for annual Winnetka Day will be explained. As a result of a conference with village officials re- garding arrangements for holding this important community event, announce- ment is made that plans this vear will prove highly satisfactory to everyone, and the Chamber of Commerce is pre- paring a celebration that will excel anything the organization has yet un- dertaken. At the annual dinner given by the Chamber on May.9, many valuable suggestions were dropped in the "ques- tion box" as to how the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce may be of serv- ice. These questions and suggestions will be taken up and decided upon at the meeting next Monday evening. May Issue Village Map 2 One of the suggestions offered at this time was that the Chamber of Com- merce issue a folder consisting of a map of the village, showing streets and numbers, location of public build- ings, churches and schools. The folder also to contain a list of the members of the Winnetka Chamber of Com- merce, classified as to their business, giving their address and telephone numbers. This folder would then be mailed to all residents, and particularly to new families moving into the vil- lage. The officers are desirous that this, as well as all meetings of the Chamber be largely attended by the members and that if there are any business men of the village who are not now members of the Chamber that they become af- filiated with it and take an active part in these sessions. The Winnetka Chamber of Commerce is not an or- ganization for a few, it is pointed out. on the other hand, its officers are us- ing their best efforts to have the Chamber perform the greatest possible service to all members and to all resi- dents of the village, and the business men, as members of the Chamber, should give it their wholehearted sup- port. Seek Suggestions One of the best means of showing this support and co-operation is to at- tend these monthly get-together din- ners and meetings, where your sug- gestions are needed, the officers aver. The business sessions follow the dinner, which is served at 7 o'clock, at Community House. BACCALAUREATE SERMON Rev. James Austin Richards, of the Winnetka Congregational church, left for the East, Friday, to preach the baccalaureate sermon at Abbot Acad- emy at Andover, Mass. 4
