They plan at that time to light the first fire in the fireplace with appropri- ate and beautiful exercises, each girl taking some part. Subsequently there will be a social half-hour with the Camp Fire council. This fireplace represents the united efforts of about 100 girls, and is deco- in color which were made by the girls.

This is surrounded by nine group tiles, carrying the group symbol, and is flanked by the individual tile of "Chief" ~ Davies, chairman of Camp Fire council, and Mrs. E. W. Wortley, chairman Winnetka Guardians. Above all is the Winnetka tile, standing for all Win- netka Camp Fire Girls. In the hearth are set two large tiles-- one carrying the name of the first four groups tormed in Winnetka, who are not represented by tiles in the fireplace, and the other bearing the inscription: "Designed and Constructed by the Camp Fire Girls of Winnetka, 1923." The whole symbolism of the fireplace is supplemented by unique and specially designed andirons of crossed logs and flames wrought in iron--the symbol of Camp Fire.

Harvard Team Loses to Country Day Cage Crew The North Shore Country Day school victory over Harvard, Ill, in a basket ball game Tuesday at Harvard was a mile-stone in the season; for Harvard out of twelve games has lost so far only two, those two being lost to North Shore. It was an exciting game. Shore scored first and at the end of the quarter was leading 6-2, at the end of the half was tied 9-9. When the third quar- ter started Harvard quickly made two baskets but this was the last time Har- vard scored while North Shore gradual- ly crept up to the final fifteen points, seven of which were made on {free throws. Those who watched the game attrib- uted North Shore's victory to super- ior team work, coupled with skill in sinking free throws.

Tuesday, February 20, "The Go-Getter" will be featured starring T. Roy Barnes. In addi- tion to this Chapter 7 of "The Oregon Trail" will be shown. On Friday, February 29, "The Bad Man" comes to Winnetka with Holbrook Blinn, star of the original stage success, re- enacting the part that put him in the top rank of great stars. . "The . -Go-Getter" is a splendid comedy of modern business life, taken from the story by Peter B. Kyne, of the man who got the thing he was sent for. Although a comedy-drama, the story is a most inspiring one and is packed with thrills and adventures. Little need be said of "The Bad Man" to those familiar with the leg- itimate stage. It comes to the screen with all "its irristable, delicious humor. Holbrook Blinn Pancho lL.opez, a gentleman (7) want- ed by two governments. With great aplomb and enjoyment he lived with- out the law." "Ha, we have captured Lopez" exclaim the hunters who are |? always on his trail. But lo it ees not! Lopez. "It ees my double*--I have learn heem from mooveeng peechures," remarks the original villain with gusto, and so he riots across the screen in a whirlwind of thrill and laughter. There are matinees at 4 o'clock and evening shows at 7:15 and 9. Chil- dren not accompanied by and seated with adults are requested to attend the matinees.

WOODLAND Grocery and Market 1083 GAGE STREET Hubbard Woods Winnetka 1980 portrays | ; 'BUSINESS MEN CHEER PASTOR'S PEACE TALK Rev. James Austin Richards, pastor of the Winnetka Congregational church addressed the Interstate Merchants Council in the Grand Ballroom, Hotel LaSalle, Chicago, recently on the sub- ject, "Planning for Peace." The meeting was the fifth convention of merchants from all sections of the United States held under the auspices of The Chicago Association of Com- merce. Fight hundred retailers jumped to their feet in a burst of applause, giv- ing Mr. Richards the greatest ovation of the two-day convention. The Interstate Merchants' council has a membership of more than 2,000 re- tail stores throughout the United States and Canada. Its meetings are inspirational in char- acter and designed to be helpful in the building of business. Meetings are held in Chicago twice each year. Adams Pharmacy 'and R. H. Schell and com- pany in Winnetka are members of the council. W. L. Ware, Trade Commissioner of The Chicago Association of Commerce directs the business sessions at each meeting. Country Day Students Hear Negro Melodies North Shore Country Day school had the pleasure of hearing James Fentress, well known Winnetkan, sing several of the old negro spirituals on Tuesday morning in the gymnasium. Mr. Fentress spoke of the religious attitude of the Southern negro and the point of view represented in these songs; and in a voice rich and sweet, and with what seemed a perfect interpretation of the negro way of singing with guitar in hand, sang song after song to a de- lighted and charmed audience. The negro spiritual has already be- come such a thing of the past, and is so seldom heard in true form by north- ern audiences, that this opportunity was thoroughly appreciated. 818 Elm Street Packs. definite lines in are used. » Indu Beauty Shop ETHEL M.
