November 17, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 3 co -------- -------------- AVIATION "GUIDE-POST" SUGGESTED FOR VILLAGE Chamber of Commerce Ponders Col. Lindbergh's Suggestion of Roof Signs Here Many villages and cities in the 1,000 to 50,000 population class throughout the United States, it is said, are paint- ing the names of the place in large letters from 10 to 20 feet in height, on depot roofs, tops of lumber sheds or similar structures, as an aid to avi- ation, particularly to pilots of mail planes. The movement is approved not only by the Post Office department, but by Col Charles Lindbergh and the Guggenheim Fund. Each village or city thus placing itself on the aerial map is receiving a certficate from Col. Lindbergh, expressing appreciation of those who are interested in the pro- gress of aviation. Consider Compliance Here It is not improbable that Winnetka may be numbered among the first villages in this section to comply with the request. The matter was brought to the at- tention of the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce Monday evening by Post- master Joseph C. Braun, who is in receipt of communication on the sub- ject from the Post Office department and the Guggenheim Fund. Chrome yellow is the color preferred, because of its visibility. The letters should be from 10 to 20 feet in height, with a space of one-fourth the height of the letters between them and the width of the letters, such as "M" and "W" should be two-thirds the height. Must Bear Cost Locally The expense of this huge sign would be borne by some civic organization like the Chamber of Commerce, or similar civic body, it is suggested. It will be a fine thing, Uncle Sam says, but the Post Office department has neither appropriation nor funds with which to do the work. The Winnetka Chamber of Com- merce did not take any action in the matter Monday evening, but will re- sume discussion of the proposition, at a later meeting. Meanwhile Postmaster Braun will continue to investigate the plans and suggestions. Parents Have Own Day of Classes at New Trier Parents' Day was observed at New Trier High school this last Thursday. Parents of the Senior and Junior scholars attended. The classes started at 1:45 o'clock, and continued until 8:55. After classes a meeting was held in the auditorium at which Miss Eliza- beth Packer spoke to the parents on matters of Junior and Senior class interest, and Frederick Kahler out- lined the plan of the proposed finan- cial budget for New Trier student activities. } Election's Moral Effect, Men's Class Discussion "The Moral Effect of the Recent Election" will be the topic for dis- cussion at the meeting of the Men's class of the Winnetka Congregational church tomorrow morning at 9:30 o'clock, directed by Ralph Morphet. The class meets in the rooms of Win- netka Post No. 10, American Legion, at Community House. FORM AIRPLANE CLUB The children of Miss Eleanor Per- son's Sixth and Seventh grade room at Skokie school have organized an Airplane club. Jack Okean, who has been made chairman announces, that they are busy "building, buying and flying model planes" and that they hope their club will be a success. - Boy Scouts Launch Budget Campaign The Boy Scouts' annual ex- pense budget campaign has been launched. Here are some of the boys who will benefit from con- tributions of Winnetka residents. The larger picture shows five Winnetka Boy Scout troops, while the smaller one shows the Hubbard Woods troop. Both pictures were taken at the Com- munity House. Open House at Washburne Home Held Monday Night Open house was held at the home of Supt. Carleton W. Washburne, 505 Provident avenue, last Monday night. Mr. Washburne's mother, Mrs. Marian Wotherspoon, who came to Winnetka recently from California, was present and conducted a round table discus- sion. Mrs. Wotherspoon will go to Athens, Ga., to live with her daughter. Hughes Mearns, well known author and university professor, also was present at the open house and took part in the discussion. GO SLow When you come to the CLASSIFIED AD PAGES They're full of opportunities too good to miss! "Values of Mystery," Sermon Subject at Christ Church Sunday The subject of the sermon to be preached by the Rev. E. Ashley Ger- hard, rector, in Christ church at the morning services tomorrow, will be "The Values of Mystery." "It arises, says Mr. Gerhard, "from the insistent demand of the modern day for cer- tainty of knowledge. The desire for the assurance that comes from abso- lute proof and the ridicule of faith as blind and unreasoning credulity can be met only by a clear recognition of the real values that reside in the mani- fest mystery that permeates not only the religious life but in all its aspects." The service will be held at 11 o'clock, and all residents are cordially invited to attend. At the 7.30 c'clock service in the chapel there will be a Corporate Com- munion of the Young People's Fel- lowship, a preparation service for which is being led by the rector this evening in the Parish House. The Visiting committee of the Guild, under the chairmanship of Mrs. John N. VanderVries, will attend a Corpor- ate Communion in the chapel next Tuesday morning at 9.30 o'clock, after which it will hold its monthly meeting. There will also be a Communion ser- vice Thursday at 9.30 o'clock. EDUCATIONAL PICTURE An educational motion picture show- ing the entire process of making an American newspaper, including the making of paper as well as the actual printing of the news, will be shown at the Hubbard Woods school next Mon- day. The picture is to be shown at the Skokie school on Tuesday. .. GENERAL REILLY HONOR GUEST AT LEGION FETE Famous Leader of "Reilly's Bucks" Returns Home for Réunion With Buddies Brig. Gen. Henry J. Reilly came back to his own Winnetka this week and, in addition to a busy round of speaking engagements over the Armis- tice holiday, gave the entire evening of his time Monday to recounting experiences with his buddies of Win- netka Legion Post No. 10. The occasion of the general's visit was the annual Armistice Night dinner staged by the post and at which new officers of the unit are formally in- stalled. General Reilly, commander of the famous "Reilly's Bucks," gave an ex- tremely convincing discourse concern- ing the relative merits of the infantry and artillery units, permitting the members of the Post to draw their own conclusions as to which of the' branches proved most effective in times of stress. Happy Reunion The post members displayed a fine enthusiasm over the general's visit. It was an occasion not soon to be for- gotten. Ancther distinguished guest on the speakers' program was Lt. Col. George A. Grafftey, formerly of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces. Col. Grafftey paid glowing tribute to the American soldier, gave expression to the high regard in which the Doughboy was held by his Canadian comrades, and voiced his amazement at the facility with which American troops were moved in times of emergency.
