XV], NO. 17 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, JULY 2, 1927 PRICE FIVE CENTS EVERYTHING'S READY FOR FOURTH FESTIVITY Committees Arrange Final De- tails of All-Day Activity at Beach and Commons The Fourth of July celebration in Winnetka has always been regarded as an unusual event, talked about in many states by many people, but the fortieth annual celebration which will be held this year gives evidence of surpassing all previous years both in attendance, participation and interest. Plans are now completed for all events during the day. Complete pro- grams have been mailed to all families in the village. The attractive badges and cups, which will be awarded for the various swimming and athletic events are on exhibition in local store windows. Extra grand stands have been erected on the Village Green, the sacks are ready for the sack race and Frank Whitney, who has acted as starter of the races for these many vears, has his trusty "44" properly shined and cleaned. It is a day for every man, woman and child in Win- netka and indications are that a ma- jority of the families will be repre- sented in some activity during the day. Morning Beach Events At 10:30 o'clock in the morning at the public bathing beach, Sheridan road and Maple streets, there will be ten swimming events. These include plunge for distance, diving for form, distance swims, as well as the shorter swimming races. Boys and girls of all ages will find opportunities to show their skill. Attractive medals will be presented for first, second and third place winners. On the Village Green, Elm and Maple streets, at 2 o'clock in the af- ternoon John Borino and his band will present a concert to be followed at 2:30 by patriotic exercises including the reading of the Declaration of In- dependence by Charles Matz. At 3 o'clock there will be the chil- dren's flag parade which has developed into such an unusual feature of these celebrations. Each child will receive a flag and attractive hat in red, white and blue. The growth of Winnetka is per- haps best shown by the number of children who annually take part in this parade. For three years past there has been an approximate increase of twenty-five per cent each year. Last vear more than a thousand children were in the parade. Immediately following this, there will be seventeen athletic events, there being at least one event for every boy and girl, regardless of age. There are races for fathers and sons, also fathers and daughters, as well as the classic backward race for married men which has been won by the same individual each year for more than a decade. First, second and third place cups will be given in each event. Music in the Evening In the evening an unusually fine mu- sical program will be given at the Green with dancing, from 8 to 11 o'clock, on Cedar street, which has (Continued on page 7) ADEQUATE FACILITIES Village Water Department Finds Equipment Able to Meet Exceptional Hot Weather Demand As a result of the weather which has been prevalent throughout warm the North Shore during the past few || days, the demand on the water depart- || very || ment of the village has been heavy, according to Village Manager H. L. Woolhiser ; the pumpage per day exceeding four million gallons of water. Because of the construction of a larger || reservoir at the filtration plant and the || installation of a larger intake last year, however, it has been possible to meet the exceptional demand on the water supply without difficulty and without the necessity of curtailing sprinkling. The recently completed installation of a 10-inch feeder main in the west part of the village, has resulted in a greatly improved pressure and supply condition in that section, Mr. Wool- hiser states. At this time of year when the tem- perature of the Lake water is high, a great number of complaints over the "fishy" taste in the water are received by the village from residents of the vil- lage. This condition is not due to fish, according to Mr. Woolhiser, but is caused by a growth of algae, a micro- scopic and harmless fungus. The taste can be eliminated by chilling the water in a refrigerator. Borino's Band in Winnetka Fourth of July Program One of the interesting features of this year's Fourth of July celebration in Winnetka is the fact that the En- tertainment committee, of which A. E. Bryson is chairman, deemed it advis- able to engage the services of Borino's band, under the direction of John Borino, a famous bandmaster, who is himself a resident of Winnetka. The following program of selections will be rendered by the band during the af- ternoon of the Fourth: Patriotic Songs from 2 to 3 p. m. The following from 3 to 5 p. m. America March Tannhauser ..

Goodwin, it was announced this week. In the morning service Mr. Goodwin will speak on the subject, "Dare We Believe in Freedom" while his topic for the evening meeting will be "The God of Our Fathers." Mr. Goodwin has just returned from the Tower Hill conference which was held at Sawyer, Michigan, Thursday. The Rev. James Austin Richards and family departed early this week for their summer vacation which will be spent near Puget Sound in the state of Washington. The Richards expect to be on the west coast for about eight weeks and will reside in Bellingham, Washington. They will stop at Lake Louise on the way out to the coast. A. B. Krieg to Return to Post in Few Days A. B. Krieg, building inspector for the Village, returned Wednesday from Rochester, Minn., where he has been undergoing an operation and treatment at the Mayo hospital. A number of friends were on hand last Thursday when he dropped in at his office un- expectedly and a hastily gathered and unofficial welcoming delegation did the honors according to proper style and custom. LEASE COOPER HOME O. I. Larson and family were mov- ing this week into the Fred Cooper residence at 829 Ash street, which they have leased for a two year period.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS DEATH OF SANDWICK Highland Park College Man In- stantly Killed When Hit by Car on Sheridan Road Richard Sandwick, 21 year old son of Richard L. Sandwick, principal of the Deerfield Shields High school of Highland Park, was instantly killed at 3:15 o'clock Saturday morning, June 25, when struck by a car driven by John I. Dennehy of 1231 Tower road, Winnetka, on Sheridan road near the North Shore Health resort. Dennehy was arrested by the Win- netka police on a charge of man- slaughter and released on $10,000 bail signed by his father. An inquest held at the Lewis Funeral parlors in Wil- mette was continued by Deputy Cor- oner S. D. Deutsch until July 2, fol- lowing the identification of the body by IL. M. Sandwick, of 5410 Black- stone avenue, Chicago, a brother of the deceased. Dennehy, accompanied by Robert Carter, 19 years old, 1315 Richie court, Chicago, was driving north on Sheri- dan road at the time of the accident. According to his report to the police, earlier in the evening a heavy wind had torn a number of branches from trees and had strewn them along the highway. This statement was born out by the report of officers patrolling the streets on the same evening. At the point where Sandwick was killed, he related, he noticed the Sandwick car parked at the curb and, due to the branches in the road, his attention was centered on passing between it and another machine, which was coming toward him. Just after the place had been passed, Carter is said to have suddenly ex- claimed that he thought they had struck a man. Dennehy, not having seen anything, suggested that it must have been a branch and they proceeded on to the Dennehy home. Upon their arrival there the discussion was still in progress and was overheard by Dennehy's brother, Charles, who sug- gested that they return to the place to make sure. In the meantime C. C. Allen, resid- ing at 602 Sheridan road, Evanston, with H. D. Nelson, 821 Elmwood ave- nue, Wilmette, passed the body and immediately notified the Winnetka po- lice. Upon the arrival of the police Sandwick was taken into the North Shore Health resort where he was pro- nounced dead by Dr. E. K. Houchings. Dennehy, arriving shortly after the police, was placed under arrest. Two theories have been advanced hy those concerned with the accident. One is that Sandwick may have been working on the car at the time; the other is that he had become ill, had stopped his car and had gotten out. The first theory, it is contended, is the less plausible since police upon en- tering the car and driving it to the station had no difficulty in starting it and found nothing wrong with the engine. The hood was down and fas- tened and no grease or dirt was dis- covered on Sandwick's hands, it was said. On the other hand, relatives are (Continued on page 4)
