SCHOOLS HONOR HEROES Harry G. Clark, physical director, is arranging the Memorial Day program for the three Winnetka schools. Dr. W. F. Davies will be the principal speaker at the Skokie school, it is an- nounced. There will be appropriate ex- ercises in all the schools, Yo Wisconsin Masons Plan Day for Winnetka Lodge Members of the Winnetka Masonic lodge will journey to Wauwautosa, Wis., on Saturday, June 7, to be guests of the Wauwautosa lodge in a day of festivity and recreation. Winnetka and the Wisconsin lodge are closely allied in interest in view of the fact that Wauwautosa lodge has assumed a genuine interest in the establishment and growth of the local organization. The Winnetka Masonic temple is patterned in many respects after that at Wauwautosa and the unit from the neighboring state has been frequently represented at Win- netka masonic functions including In- stitution and dedication ceremonies. There is to be a ball game on the Wauwautosa program on June 7, as well as a dinner and a fellowship gathering in the evening. Police Hot on Trail of Local Traffic Violaters Frank Ray, 6315 South Union ave- nue, Chicago, was fined $5 and costs for speeding on Ridge avenue last Friday afternoon, and Ed Kerner, 2443 South Springfield avenue, Chicago, was assessed $15 and costs for a sim- ilar offense that evening. A complaint has also been lodged against Carnucas De Santo, 5540 Western avenue, for operating a car minus the state license plates. John Katz was arrested by the Winnetka police for traveling over 49 miles an hour on Linden avenue, Monday, and was later fined $25 and costs. Contributions for Band Fund Are Still Arriving There remain to be acknowledged two contributions to the New Trier High School band fund recently subscribed in a campaign conducted by Lloyd Hollis- ter, Inc, publishers of WriLMmETE LIFE, WinNeTRA TALK and GLENCOE NEWS, for the purpose of securing uniforms for members of the band. A contribution has been received from two members of the band totalling $52 and covering the cost of two uniforms. Another contribution has been received from "A Friend" in the sum of $5. These contributions coming after the fund was subscribed, are placed in the general maintenance fund of the band. Residents of the north shore contri- buted a total of more than $2,100 in the fund drive. The goal was $2,000. The band members have had their uniforms for several weeks.
