XVL NO. 24 (Gl GOLFERS HAVE BIG DAY AT SKOKIE PLAYFIELD Invitation Tournament for Men Thursday Draws Record Attendance at Course The popularity momentum which Skokie Playfield course has been gradually attaining since the opening of the golf season last Spring reached the highest pinnacle of the summer, Thursday, the date of the Invitation tournament for men, when there were well over one hundred players on the course. Despite threatening weather condi- tions in the morning, which no doubt kept some away, there was an entry list sufficiently long to break all pre- vious records and which afforded Wal- ter Stelzel and his assistants a full day's work in arranging and supervis- ing what all are agreed was the best tournament in Skokie Playfield's his- tory. The weather early changed to "ideal," and "Pro" Stelzel and his as- sistants did the rest. The pleasures of the day were still further augment- ed by the splendid luncheon which was served at the clubhouse at noon, under the auspices of the Women's Tournament committee, of which Mrs. C. B. Cook is chairman. The course was in excellent condi- tion, for which Alfred Runnfeldt, grounds keeper, received frequent compliments from the players, throughout the day. Liberal donations of prizes by Win- netka merchants contributed largely towards making the tournament the great success which it proved to be. The following merchants donated prizes: The Sweet Shop, Richard- son's Garage, Adams Pharmacy, Com- munity Pharmacy, G. I. Zick & Co., R. H. Schell, Adams Barber Shop, Hill & Stone, WINNETKA TALK.

INSTITUTE CAMPAIGN Chamber of Commerce to Conduct Safety Campaign During First Week in September The Winnetka Chamber of Com- merce at its meeting Monday evening voted to aid the police department in | the effort which it is making to reduce automobile accidents in the village, and will conduct a "Safety Campaign" dur- ing the first week of September. Wide publicity is to be given this movement and an effort made to enlist the entire village to co-operate for a self enforcement of traffic rules and regulations. The Village Council, also is taking similar action in backing up Chief of Police W. M. Peterson and his men in their effort in behalf of the wel- fare of the people themselves. Among other things, the "Safety Campaign" to be inaugurated in Sep- tember by the Chamber of Commerce, provides that all Winnetka business men are to be furnished with gummed posters to use on their automokiles, trucks and in the windows of their re- spective business houses, as one means of aiding to awaken interest and co- operation in the movement. The Chamber also recommends to the Police department that it paint lamps where pedestrians are supposed to walk in crossing streets and that at least two policemen be stationed at corners where traffic is heavy during the busy hours of the day, that is, from 7:00 to 8:30 a. m. and from 5:00 to 6:30 p. m. The corners particularly referred to are Elm and Center streets, Elm and Lincoln streets and Tower road and Linden avenue. Northbrook Holds Annual Community Celebration The annual Northbrook community day celebration, which was held in that village last week under the direction of the Civic association, is reported to have been a genuine success in every way. Following a good sized parade in the forenoon, field events and a baseball game between the North- brook and Deerfield teams were held. In addition a band concert was given and the day's festivities were closed with a boxing exhibition given by the Hubert brothers. ' MRS.

The Winnetka Village Council voted favorably on this proposition when it was presented at the meeting Tuesday evening by Trustee R. H. Schell. It came up in the form of a petition signed by a large number of business men of Hubbard Woods, who desire to use the space for their cars in order to aid in leaving Linden avenue, where the parking limit is 90 minutes, as clear as possible, for the convenience of the customers of this thriving section of the village. The Council, in granting the privi- lege, retains full control of the tract; provides there shall not be night park- ing and that trucks shall not be parked there. The plan is subject to revoca- tion by the Council at any time that it may be found to be unsatisfactory, or in the event the property is re- quired by the village for other pur- poses. Request Better Hubbard Woods Station Facilities Patrons of the North Shore Electric line residing in the Hubbard Woods vicinity will be interested in the action taken by the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce at its meeting Tuesday eve- ning looking to the procuring of bet- ter accommodations. The Chamber voted to request the company to provide one station, either at Tower or Hubbard Woods proper, where tickets may be purchased and the fast trains boarded, the depot also to contain a comfort station. Fast trains now stop at Hubbard Woods but it is necessary to go to Tower road to purchase tickets. Tick- ets are sold at Tower road but fast trains do not stop there and it is nec- essary to go to Hubbard Woods to board them. JOIN LOCAL C. OF C.

Chief of Police W. M. Peterson, through WINNETKA TALK last week called attention to the fact that since the first of January there have been five fatalities resulting from automo- bile accidents in Winnetka; twenty- four others have been injured and fifty-two automobile accidents of suf- ficient nature to require police atten- tion have occurred during that period. The Village council at its meeting Tuesday evening voted to call on the public for a more rigid self-enforce- ment of traffic rules and regulations, failing in which, it was the opinion of the council that more drastic action will be taken through the police de- partment in the way of forcing an ob- servance of traffic' rules. The matter was referred to the Judiciary commit- tee of the council, of which Trustee D. F. McPherson is chairman, to draft the resolution, formally calling upon the people for this cooperation. It was pointed out by the council that delivery car drivers and minors who are permitted to drive their par- ents' cars, constitute the greatest num- ber of offenders. There is said to be a general disregard of the parking rules of the village, and if it is found necessary to use police powers to bring about observance of a condition which means safety and the general well-being of Winnetka citizens in general, the personnel of the police department will have to be enlarged to a point where sufficient men will be available to detect and arrest the of- fenders. Start Organization of Winnetka Football Team Plans for the organization of a com- munity football team were being com- pleted early this week and the actual organization of the team will start immediately, it has been announced.
