Early Birds in Plea for "Eats" Concession at Park Members of Winnetka Chapter No. 942, Order of the Eastern Star, evi- dently are guided by the old axiom about "The Early Bird," etc At the meeting of the Village council last Wednesday evening, the Win- netka chapter requested that it be granted the concession to sell ice cream and other refreshments at the park next Fourth of July. "That's a long way off," commented Trustee R. H. Schell, who read the request which had been handed to him in the form of a petition from the chapter. The chapter, it was explained, had the concession two years ago, while last year the privilege was accorded to Community House. There was not the least objection to granting the concession to the chap- ter in 1929, but the calendar was con- sulted and it was found that Thanks- giving and Christmas of 1928 have not yet arrived. There will be New Year's and Decoration Day in 1929, fur- ther computation revealed, and the council felt that there is plenty of time to act upon the request for a Fourth of July matter. Action in the petition was deferred to a later date. Street Widening Projects Postponed Until Spring The Elm street and Lincoln avenue widening project, plans for which were completed by the Village council sev- eral weeks ago and which it was ex- pected to have underway this fall, will not be undertaken until next Spring, it is announced. The necessary court action could not be completed in time to have the work done before winter sets in. ZI innetha Tongregational Church November morning from ten to twelve.
