At the meeting on December 3 Past Commander Lewis who is a trustee of the Winnetka Public library, gave a splendid talk on immigration. He is an authority on this subject, being the cuthor of "America, Nation or Chaos." This subject is very timely as Na- tional Commander McNutt has includ- ed the immigration question in his program of activities for this year. At the meeting on December 7, Legionnaire Henry F. Tenney, pres- ident of the village, will discuss village government. A large attendance is ex- pected at this meeting. The Board of Education and the school system will be the subject of a talk by Legionnaire Ernest S. Ballard, president of the school board on Jan- uary 7. Park board matters will be discussed by Commander Massey, the president of the board and president of the Izaak Walton league, Winnetka chap- ter, on January 21. The Rotary club activities will be described by Legionnaire Doepel, president of the Rotary club, on Feb- ruary 4. On February 18 Past Commander T.ynch, past president of the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce will tell the Post about the Chamber. Past Commander Snell, Republican precinct committeeman and chairman of the North Shore Area Scout coun- cil, will tell about Winnetka's part in this great Scout movement on March 4. Other speakers will be heard on the forest preserve, township and county government and other topics of vital interest, Winnetka Cagers in Practice Tilt for Title Games With a successful season on the grid- iron tucked away, the Winnetka foot- ball athletes played their first practice game of basketball, Friday evening, preparatory to a busy winter in the business of wresting honors from other strong north shore cagers. The new team is known as Fell's Clothiers. It is being organized and uniformed by Fell, Winnetka haber- dasher, and will soon be ready for game bookings which may be made by writing or phoning A. L. Fell, 786 Elm street, Winnetka, whose phone number is Winnetka 307. Such well known athletes as "Agate" Martin, Russell Smith, Harry Porter, Bill McGivern, Steve Plowman, "Wad- dy" Paletti and George Rudolph com- prise the team. This same organiza- tion, playing under a different name, won the north shore championship last season, and, as Fell"s Clothiers, are out to repeat the record. They will play every Friday evening at Com- munity House and will travel on Wednesday evenings. For the local games, bookings are now being arranged with such well known teams as the Army of Fort Sheridan; the Navy of Great Lakes: Lake Forest Young Men's club, Wil- mette, Evanston, Public Service Co. and others.
