Clerk superin- tendent of New Trier High school re- cently promulgated an order that stu- dents under 17 years of age must not drive to school in autos, the conjested parking area on the streets about the school was greatly relieved, but a new and greater trouble has arisen. Parents of the younger children bring them to school and call for them in the evening, and there isn't room on Win- 847 Center Street William L.

They all insist on waiting in front, and Chief of Police W. M. Peterson | . who has been called upon to aid in untangling the snarled traffic condition reports that he found as many as sev- enty-five cars at times parked in Win- netka avenue. This condition not only interferes with general traffic but it is necessary that it be eliminated in order that the fire department, were it called to this section of the village would be able to get through at that point. Many of the elders who are driving to school for their children have not co-operated with the police who have found necessary to make 21 arrests within the last two days. The police have orders to keep the street open to traffic, and with "law and justice" on their side they are wad- ing into the problem with which they are confronted.

This means that you must have additional I confidence in your butcher. Our poultry comes direct from near-by farms, is personally inspected by us, and never is a single bird put up for sale that has the slight- est sign of not being in Al condition.

Taylor, R.N. 818-A Elm St. Stage Vacation Fair at the North Shore Country Day School Because the faculty of the North Shore Country Day school believes that the summer vacation can offer ex- periences of very great educational value to the children, it is the custom of the school each fall to place em- phasis on the reports and accounts of the summer experiences of the pupils. Three morning exercises a week for the first month of school are devoted to talks from individual children on the interesting travel work and play of the summer. Last Tuesday the first, second and third grades described their summer to the rest of the school. The next day two boys in the eighth grade gave a stereoptican talk depicting a trip to Yellowstone and Glacier National parks. The culminating event in this pro- gram is the "Vacation Fair," modeled on the plan of the old time county fair, which took place last Friday. It i; an annual event of the school, which this year was under the direction of the ninth grade boys. The girls' gymnasium was used as the fair grounds, its walls lined with booths displaying the results of the summer experiences of the children. Photograph collections, inventions, travel and art, boats, flowers, vegeta- bles, woodwork, dolls, campers handi- craft, etc. Each grade was in charge of one booth, the third displaying the photo- graphs and post card collections; the fifth, the inventions; the eighth boys, boats, etc. Sunday Sermon Topics at the Congregational Church The sermon topic at the morning service at the Winnetka Congrega- tional church, Sunday, at 11 o'clock, will be "The Meaning of Mr. Reynolds' Visit." Rev. James Austin Richards will preach at this time. Rev. Thomas A. Goodwin will preach in the evening at 8 o'clock, his subject being, "The Unexpected Presence."
