Camp Fire Girls Invite Parents to Big Frolic * The parents of the Winnetka Camp Fire Girls were guests of the group at Community House, Friday evening, an occasion which proved highly en- joyable to both the parents and the members of the organization. Dr. J. W. F. Davies extended a word of greeting from the Camp Fire coun- cil, and Ruth Jackson, one of the Camp Fire Girls, spoke briefly on the meaning and ideals of Camp Fire. There were songs and games (the stunts being in charge of Harry P. Clarke), exhibits of hand work done in Camp Fire, a knot-tying contest by three girls from each group, with three Boy Scouts assisting.

C. Weissenberg's coal yards, west of the track. A resident of Winnetka reports that last Monday he called on W. J. Towne, chief engineer of the company, with the request that this latter pavement be put in. The proposed driveway, be- ing on the railroad property, it is pointed out, would not benefit directly the railroad company, but would prove a great blessing to the public in the way of eliminating a lot of dust and dirt arising from the present dirt drive- way--along the west side of. the North Shore Electric platform and station for south-bound trains. In response to the request, Engineer Towne replied that it would receive his attention, and on the following day word came out that it had been grant- ed and that the driveway would be paved without delay. "That," the Winnetka citizen who called on the railroad official, declared, "is real service to Winnetka by the friendly railroad, and an evidence of the manner in which it has trained its employes to show real courtesy to re- quests from its patrons." Rev. R. Malcolm Ward to Preach at Christ Church The sermon topic of the Rev. R. Malcolm Ward, assistant rector, at the 11 o'clock service in Christ church on Sunday morning will be: "The Mis- understood Thomas." The regular mid-week services of Holy Communion will be held in the chapel on Tuesday morning at 9:30 o'clock.

M.

Houren, chief of the Win- netka Fire department since the be- ginning of the new fiscal year, April 1, has been working on the annual in- spection of buildings, principally in the business districts, including Indian Hill and Hubbard Woods. There is an occasional inspection of some resi- dence required, also, but in the main, this work is confined to the business areas of the village. An average of about thirty inspec- tions a month are made, and it will be well along in the summer before the work is completed, Chief Houren says. In most cases mere suggestions or recommendations on the part of the Chief to remove some particular fire hazard or to make for greater safety, is all that is necessary, he says, and the splendid co-operation which he receives from business men and all residents in general, in this work, Chief Houren says, is splendid.
