And many an eye has danced to see That banner in the sky ; ·· Beneath it rung the battle shout. And burst the cannon's roar:The meteor of the ocean air Shall sweep the clouds no more. Her deck , once red with heroes' blood, Where knelt the vanquished foe , When winds were hurrying o'er the flood, And waves were white below. No more shall feel the victor's tread , Or know the conquered knee; The harpies of the shore shall pluck The eagle of the sea! Oh, better that her shattered hulk Should sink beneath the wave.' Her thunders shook the mighty deep, And there shout d be her graue: JVail to the mast her holy flag. Set every threadbare sail. And give her to the god of storrns, The lightning. and the gale! -0. II. H.o lmes Five or six times during the season this opportun_ity of hearing a master musician is given to dwellers in ,our shore towns. They may hear and see Schipa, the foremost lyric tenor; Spalding and Hansen, two of the world's foremost violinists; Werrenrath, a famous baritone. And if our North Shore citizens attend all these recitals, imagine what a series of inspiring experiences they will have; experiences that are denied to the vast maj,o rity of Americans, not to mention other unfortunates in other countries of the .world. We should therefore be very grateful to the Winnetka Music Club, which has given us these privileges. In securing the se extraordinary artists and in arranging to the innumerable details involved in arranging for dat.es, printing and di str ibuting- pr.o grams and ticket s, etc., etc., the members of the Club have expended untold energy. Perhaps the most appropriate expression of .our gratitude will he our continued appreciation and enjoyment of what is offered us so liberally, and with such rare concern ior our ge nuin e sat isfaction. surprising how often you can catch the weather man off his stride. In 1926, for example, we found him to be wrong exactly 365 times. The other quarter of a day in the year found hi s prognostications to be tairly accurate. ,... . . . . . . . . . #.###· THE MARTYR One of Wilmette's prominent business men waa observed emerging from a certain aorth shore beautification parlor (customarily reserved for the feminine gender) sportinr a rlistening manicure in addition to other evidences of careful grooming·. When asked the why and wherefore of this presumably untoward circumstance he replied with feeling: "Well, all chairs in all the barber abopa · were filled, including the waiting benches, and nary a man in sight, unless, of course, one may regard the modern tonsorial artist as aucb. I had to get this job done up in a hurry and the only places that didn't seem to be busy were the beauty shops." (That he was well served is further evi· denced by the fact that he secured a neatly marcalled toupe, a brilliant afterthought of the aggressive, not to mention beautiful manicure). ########· · · · · · ·, . 1\ot content with h a·,·ing presented its citizL·JH _ ,. with an Xmas gift in the shape oi a spltndi<l municipal hank balance for 1920. the \\'ilmct tc Village hoard went a ~tep further h~ · "saying it" \\'ith a ne,,· ftre ~iren.

America the beautiful, mu st be kept beautiful. The forces tending in the opposite direction are numerous and p,owerful. They can be held in check only by forces more powerful than they, by public opinion expressed in law. Public opinion is most effectively rou sed and kept alive by concerted and continuous activity of individuals and organizations, and dpubtless more effectively by organizations than by individuals. The former is, in the nature of the case, much stronger and longer lived. The Izaak Walton League with its national and local urganization has done much and will do much more in keeping America beautiful, in protecting our native wild animals, in keeping unspoiled our rivers and lakes. Tp materialize these aims the League has brot1ght pressure to bear on legislators, and thus secured the passage of appropriate The north shore is fortunate in that it is not obliged to impurt its public speakers and su lu musicians but on occasion ca n draw on its residents for entertainment and in sp iration .
