---- November 10, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 63 "Roll of Service" Pays Mute Tribute to Winnetka Heroes Sunday morning, at 10:30 o'clock, as the members of Winnetka Post No. 10, American Legion, file out of their headquarters to march to the Village Commons for a brief ceremonial on the tenth anniversary of Armistice day, they will pass a mute, yet force- ful reminder of those days in the form of a sacred roster of Winnetka's young manhood responding to the Nation's call, which adorns the north wall near the entrance to Community House There, set forth in hand-lettered, symmetrical columns, are the names of the three hundred and ninety men who went from this village. Few homes there were which did not have sons to go, and a perusal of the names reveals that in some instances there were two, three, four and even five of the same family name. Of the three hundred and ninety, all but ten returned. It is the memory of these ten which is to be honored in the services tomorrow, commemorating the anniversary of that happy mom- ent, ten years ago, when the joyful message was flashed through the land, that fighting had ceased. These ten had given their lives, in the spirit so nobly recorded in that il- lustrious phrase of their comrade, Dinsmore Ely: "It is an investment, not a loss, when a man dies for his country." And as the surviving comrades file out of their Post room tomorrow they will also pass the register of Win- netka's gold star men: Phillip Comfort Starr, Dinsmore Ely, Vincenzio di Giorgio, Wesley Major Juleff, James Edward Hayes, Roswell Hayes Fuller, Pasquale Sal- erno, George Raymond Kelly, Charles Douglas Weart, and Fletcher Ladd McCordic. The names of the Winnetka men who made the supreme sacrifice are given honored position in the center of the memorial, topped with a Gold Star and over which are emblazoned the words of Dinsmore Ely. Appropriately captioning this "Roll of Service" is the following quotation from Kipling: "Our children shall measure their worth, But none to their glory age blind; For we know that we walk on a new born earth With Saviors of Mankind." The roster is the work of Mrs. Peter GRANITE FURNISHED AND ERECTED BY J. H. ANDERSON MONUMENT CO. FINEST DISPLAY OF MEMORIALS IN CHICAGO 5751 RAVENSWOOD AVE. Phone LONGbeach 4648 I.

When the need is greatest they may find themselves able to get only two things that are plentiful--advice and sympathy. Both are acceptable at times, but do not offer much material assistance in an emergency. The best friend a man or woman can have at that time--or any other time--is a good Bank Account. Thrift is a faithful friend whose acquaintance when cultivated early, is an invaluable asset whenever an emergency may come.
