Children of the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades held a picnic at the playfield at noon, after which athletic contests were run off in front of the grandstand nearby. Miss Margaret Carswell, physical education director at the Hubbard Woods school, was assisted by H. P. Clarke of the Skokie school in the handling of the field events. Gold seal certificates with blue and white ribbon attached were awarded to eight students who had a perfect record throughout the spring season at Hubbard Woods in the running and standing broad jumps, basketball throw, chinning, and knee raising. Those who received the awards were: Natalie Waidner, Hamilton Daughaday, William Duncan, William Chichester, John Conrad, James Baumgartl, Don- ald Simpson, and Scotson Webbe. The certificates are given on the basis of points made. Those who had a perfect record were entitled to one hundred points and the gold seal cer- tificate with blue and white ribbon attached. Eighty-eight children who had made from eighty to ninety-nine points dur- ing the season received gold seal cer- tificates without the ribbon attached. Seventy-four children who made from sixty to seventy-nine points were given blue seal certificates, and twenty-six who made from forty to fifty-nine points were given red seal certificates. At the field meet on Wednesday the fifty and one hundred yard dashes and the three-legged races were run off. There was also a baseball game between the fifth and sixth grades of the Hubbard Woods school, which the fifth graders won by a score of 9 to 1. C. of C. Debates Annual Winnetka Day Proposition The Winnetka Chamber of Com- merce Monday evening discussed the matter of an annual Winnetka day celebration and listened to an inter- esting address by Col. Lee Alexander, of Chicago, on the approaching World's Fair. Colonel Alexander gave what he termed an "inspirational" talk, in which he briefly outlined tentative plans for the early preparation for this great Chicago event, his remarks be- ing featured by optimistic visions of Chicago at age one-hundred, its fu- ture and the Fair. There was strong sentiment among members of the Chamber in favor of abandoning the usual expense of con- ducting Winnetka day in the manner of past celebrations, suggesting in its stead a picnic and outing for the busi- ness men of the village, their em- ployes and families. The matter was referred to a com- mittee to be selected by President William T. Wersted, who appointed Herbert Paulson, B. W. Blow, A. Peters, Vic Killian and A. I. Adams. Car Damaged in Crash on Sheridan Road Here The bumper of a car driven by Miss Z. R. Zlatin of Chicago was torn off Monday evening at about 7:30 o'clock when the car ran into another car ahead of it, driven by George Polemi, 16, of 6828 Sheridan road, Chicago. The accident occurred on Sheridan road between Spruce and Pine streets, Winnetka. No one was injured, ac- cording to a report by Sergeant Glen Boyd of the Winnetka police. Mrs. Catherine Cleary of Fullerton, Cal., is visiting at the home of her brother and sister-in- law, Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Hagen, 1387 Scott avenue.
