WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1922 HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER WORK CLOSED FRIDAY Almost Perfect Attendance Marks Sessions The summer session at New Trier Township High school closed Friday of this week when the four hundred students enrolled completed their classwork. Absence of extremely warm weather aided the work materially and only a few students dropped from the classes before the conclusion of the term. In fact, the attendance at summer ses- sions was said to have been more egular than during the regular school year. The steady growth in the number enrolled is indicative of the fact, it is declared, that the parents are realiz- ing that a little constructive work dur- ing the long summer months is decid- edly worth while for the normal girl or boy. Perhaps the greatest con- tributing factor to the success of the summer school this year was the fact that all of the instruction was given by members of the regular faculty. A successful swimming class aug- mented the scholastic activities. The fall term will begin Monday, September 11. The special examina- tions for those making up work this summer will be given Saturday, Sep- tember 9 at 9 o'clock a. m. WANT CLUBS TO PROVIDE BOOKS FOR BLIND VETS In response to an article appearing in last week's issue of the Winnetka Talk under the heading "Books For Sightless Vets; Red Cross Call," the editorial office has received sev- eral suggestions as to how residents and organizations on the north shore can help in this splendid work. The point made in these suggestions was, that, in addition to the help that might be expected from individuals, it was decidedly "up to" the various clubs and social groups to take immediate action to provide Braille books for the 500 young men in Chicago who came out of the World War afflicted with blindness. "These men are hungry for books," last week's appeal read. 'The ex- pense of press made books for the blind is almost prohibitive, and the appropriation from Congress is com- paratively small, so volunteer Braille transcribers are needed." The Englewood Woman's club is the first to have a Braille department, the story continued, and it is expected that other progressive clubs and organiza- tions will take up the work this fall." "Let's forget the prizes at our Bridge games for a time," reads one suggestion, "and think of the men 'who are hungry for books.' Every club on the north shore should take action in this regard without another moment's delay."

Mrs. McCallum's hat and handbag containing $105 were found on the sands at the beach. Mrs. McCallum, who was a widow, resided at 1506 Arthur avenue, Rogers Park.

And this was our answer. "We want quality in our raw materials because we spare no effort to put quality into our own workmanship on those materials. Sometimes to the buyer two sheets of paper will look exactly alike, but the one with quality will be considerably higher in price than the other--and the printer knows that when the final order is completed the quality sheet will have stood up to make a favor- able appearance. be soft, spongy, and without life. "For some purposes a soft sheet is necessary. In that instance who knows better than the printer just what quality is most fitting for the order in We offer this point of view as one reason why you may well consider us favorably on your next order of printing, whether it be stationery, ship- ping tags, or booklets.
