Local K. of C. to View Great Film, "America" Members of Ouilmette council, Knights of Columbus, and their fam- ilies, are to enjoy a dinner and theater party in Chicago's Loop, Sunday eve- ning, June 15. The party will dine at Madame Galli's at 18 E. Illinois street, and will later proceed to the Auditorium where the great film spectacle, "America," is being shown. In charge of arrangement is a com- mittee comprising W. G. Obermeier, Al Schaefer and Frank Kreusch. The party has been designed as a patriotic venture, it is explained, giving ex- pression to the council's opposition to the "spasmodic outburts of pacifism and anti-Americanism in various. sec- tions of the country." Mrs. Frank R. Young, 333 Cumnor road, was hostess to her luncheon and bridge club on Thursday, June 12. Faculty Talks Over New Trier Program A dinner for the faculty of the New Trier Township High school was given Tuesday evening at the school mess hall by the board of education, with Edwin J. Phelps, former president, acting as toastmaster. The speakers of the evening, Miss Elizabeth Packer; dean of girls; George Harper, dean of boys; Freder- ick E. Clerk, superintendent, and Miss Laura Ullrick, in behalf of the teachers, echoed the success of the school during the past year. A read- ing was given by Gordon Van Kirk, and William Slater. W. S. Brown, and Miss Regina Weinman gave several musical selections. The value of the personal work car- ried on in the school was emphasized and with the large growth in the en- rollment, it was pointed out, it would be possible to give junior college work in the near future. The board of education is planning for some nec- essary extensions which are being re- quired by the growth in registration at the school. Clyde P. Ross is spending a week at the Traymore, Atlantic City, to go from there on a business trip to north- ern Vermont. Adventure Islanders Go to Northern Camp, July 1 Bob Townley, physical and manual training director at the Joseph Sears school, Kenilworth, will leave for Ad- venture Boys' camp on Chamber Is- land on Green Bay, July 1. Four Boy Scouts from Kenilworth will also at- tend the camp for eight weeks. Two of the boys going to the camp, Jack Rathbone and Stanley Craven, will go on a cruiser. The other boys, Steve Hawxhurst and Bob Joslin, will motor up with Mr. Townley. All the boys are Scouts and they will work for advance merits. About 35 boys will attend the Ad- venture camp. Most of them will be from the north shore villages and five from St. Louis, Mo., have made ar- rangements to spend the season there. SOME LAWS Los Angeles has an unrepealed ordi- nance forbidding street car conductors from shooting wild game from the car platforms. And, in Kansas City, a statute reads: "When two cars approach each other at a crossing they shall both come to a full stop, and neither shall start up until the other has gone." The Basic Economy of the Cadillac It is perhaps true that the average purchaser of a Cadillac is not concerned, primarily, with its . economy. And for just that reason, as he drives the car year after year, he finds added cause for pleasure in his investment. He discovers,--what veteran owners of the Cadillac have long realized--thatitslongevity,itscon- stant, enduring performance, is the truest form of economy. Because of Cadillac materials, Cadillac engineering and Cadillac craftsmanship, the new V-63 lasts as long as an automobile can last, and with 1easonable care out-lives two ordinary cars. Itis practicable to drive it through- out this long range of life, if one wishes, because even after years of service the Cadillac remains consistently fine and fashionable. Moreover, daily operating costs are moderate, and Cadillac de- pendability is such that thrifty performance is a rule and even minor adjustments are a rarity. Thus, four factors-- freedom from repairs, high mileage at low cost, slow depreciation and unmatched resale value-- are so well com- bined in the Cadillac that it is considered the most economical car.
