WINNETKA TALE] Published weekly by Lloyd Hollister, Inc., March 8. 1912. at the post office at Winnetka. §64 Lincoln Ave., Illinois, under the Act of March 8. 1879. Winnetka, Illinois. Entered as second class matrer Subscription price $2.00 a year. VOL. XVII, NO. 13 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, JUNE 2, 1928 PRICE FIVE CENTS LOVE YOUR DOGGIE? KEEP HIM MUZZLED! Our Police Are Now Engaged in an Intensive Campaign to Clear Streets of Canines If you love your dog, put a muzzle on him, or exercise the alternative of keeping him at home and at the far end of a substantial leash whenever you take him for a stroll. This kindly though pertinent advice is in direct consequence of an order in compliance with which our able police department is busily engaged in coralling all unmuzzled canines romp- ing at large in the community, plac- ing them none too gently in the municipal pound, whence, if unclaimed pronto at the cost of $2 (impounding fee), hied briskly to the executioner's box. And what is more-- License Fees Overdue The current year's dog license fees are overdue. Hence, in the event your pet has run afoul of our con- stabulary, and you have not taken the precaution to purchase the cute little brass tag, it'll be another $2 contri- bution. The Police department last Monday morning, with the aid of "Prof" Payn- ter, address, Chicago, who rates as an expert dog catcher, began the business of clearing Winnetka streets of dogs that were not wearing muz- zles, as required by the recent pro- clamation issued by President Henry F. Tenney. . At the end of the second day the professor et. al. had fifteen canines of plain and fancy contour in the pound, only three 'of which bore the late model license emblem. Find Rabies Case One of the animals picked up was found to be suffering from rabies, of which ailment it died the next day. The village is being patrolled by the official dog catcher, armed with a wire snare, with which he is most adept in "picking up" any stray canine which he sights. These trips are being made through- out the day, in a police squad car. Of- ficer Harold Lewis drove the car the first day, since which time Officer G1 H. Luensman has been assigned as pilot. The first fifteen dogs brought in comprise two mongrels, two chows, two bulls, one collie, one poodle, three airedales, one Pekingese, one spaniel, one setter, and one police dog. Thus it will be noted the police are play "no favorites." All Look Alike Now All dogs look alike to them. The dainty, refined, perfumed little pekingese is accorded the same treat- ment as his big, burly, unkempt run- ning mate, the "mongrel." One dog may develop a case rabies as quickly as another. Again, the Police warn, "if you love your dog, either keep him at home or put a good, secure muzzle on him, for the campaign is on, in full swing, and it's going to continue, indefinitely." of Recitalist Albert S. Spalding, famous violinist, who calls Chicago his home, will present the third program of the Winnetka Music club's Artist- | Recital series at New Trier auditorium internationally next season. Mr. Spalding appeared in the Music club series a few years ago. He is not only pre-eminent as a violinist, but also exemplifies the finest type of American citizenship. He needs no further introduction to music patrons of the north shore. Winnetkans Gather in Tribute to War Heroes Annual Memorial day observance was conducted at the Village Common at 2:30 o'clock, Wednesday, where hundreds of citizens gathered about the War Memorial to hear and witness the impressive ceremonies in special tribute to Winnetka's Soldier dead. Winnetka Post No. 10, American Legion, was in charge of the services, Max Murdock presiding as chairman. Judge Frank Comeford, of Chicago, delivered the address. Cars Crash on Drive; Occupants Uninjured Two automobiles were damaged but the drivers escaped injury, Monday afternoon, when the cars collided at Sheridan road and Garland place. William Wolfer, of 3805 Seventy-sec- ond street, Chicago, was one of the drivers and Stockton Pemberton, of 1937 Hartrey street, Evanston, was the other, according to the report of Officer Carl F. Bishop. DIAMOND DATES The Winnetka Baseball team has games scheduled for the next five Sundays, at Playfield with the fol- lowing teams: June 3--South Side Sportsmen. June 10--Waukegan K. of L. June 17--North Chicago A. C. June 24--Waukegan All Nations. July 1--Chicago North Shore. Northfield May Get Water from Winnetka Plant The next important step in the de- velopment of the new Village of Northfield, Winnetka's neighbor across the Skokie to the west, is that of obtaining water, which, eventually, it is hoped to arrange for with Win- netka. Glencoe is now being supplied with water from its own new plant, and is negotiating with Northbrook to fur- nishing that village with lake water. Winnetka, which formerly supplied Glencoe, will now be in a position to supply water to Northfield it is thought and plans are, accordingly go- ing forward. At the last meeting of the North- field village board, Village Engineer Edward Hancock was instructed to make a survey to establish the neces- sary levels for water mains, etc., and a little later, it is said, Northfield will proceed further with negotiations with Winnetka to pump water to the west- ern community. Voters' League Directors Lay Plans for Next Year Mrs. A. Montague Ferry, president of the Winnetka League of Women Voters, entertained the members of the board of directors at luncheon last week. Plans for the league year, which opens in October, were dis- cussed and a talk by Mrs. John N. Van- derVries on "How the League Program for Study and Legislation is Made," was followed by a discussion of the various new items adopted at the recent national convention. Mrs. William F. Brown, first vice-president and chairman of the organization, has appointed Mrs. Howard Kennington, 508 Hawthorne lane, as chairman of the eleventh precinct to fill the place of Mrs. Earl Green, who is leaving Winnetka, REAL ESTATE SECTION of WINNETKA TALK Watch for it!
