Masonic Groups Invited to Card Game on Tuesday Members of the various Masonic or- ganizations meeting in the Winnetka Masonic temple have received notice of a Card Game to be held Tuesday eve- ning, April 20. It has been announced that all social activities of the temple have been placed in the hands of a committee known as the Social com- mittee comprised of members from Winnetka Lodge No. 1078 A. F. & A. M., Winnetka Chapter No. 942 O. E. S,, and Skokie Chapter No. 276 R. A. M. Plans have already been started for a number of different kinds of social activities for the balance of the season. To provide funds for these free enter- tainments the present Card Game is be- ing given, and members are guaranteed that every dollar they spend buying tickets for this affair' will have a pur- chasing power of at least 400 per cent, as all money realized will be used solely for the promotion of social activities. A rather novel feature lies in the tickets for the Card Game which have been gotten up in imitation of a reg- ulation Baseball game ticket, with a rain check stub. These rain checks are claimed to be good for all games for balance of season. It is expected that a hearty response will meet this plea of the new Social committee to provide them with funds for the promotion of social activities, and all members have been assured that any funds left over at the end of the season will be turned over to the Tem- ple committee.

"Yes," is the prompt reply of three New Trier High school boys. "You just bet we're going to Europe, and, what's more, it isn't going to cost us a penny." That's about the conversation one may hear some day next June. And thereby is appended the story-- Several score New Trier High school boys are to take a special practical, course in salesmanship in the inter- vening weeks before the annual sum- mer vacation begins. Lloyd Hollister, publisher of WILMETTE LiFe, and other north shore publications, is to provide the course, and to three of the boys, one in Wilmette or Kenilworth, another in Winnetka and a third in Glencoe, will get a special award for highest proficiency in the form of a free-of- charge 36-day vacation in Europe. Every boy entered in the campaign is to be paid just as are real salesmen, in accordance to the results accomplished. Start Campaign Next Week The boys will launch upon their sell- ing enterprise next week after having registered at a central office at the high school Friday or Saturday of this week. They will sell subscriptions and the competition promises to be about the most exciting bit of rivalry ever witnessed in this vicinity. All the de- tails, rules and regulations will be found in another part of this issue of WiLMETTE LIFE. Now, as to the award.
