76 WINNETKA TALK December 3, 1927 ae A Wy A AIS A A A AA rw 7) If you count the letters in the word you will find that "out" is three-eighths of the word "scouting." But in reality it is still more. The outdoors plays a large part in the program of every Scout troop. The "Cabin in the Woods" provided for the use of north shore troops, located west of Glencoe, is filling a real need. It was used last week end by a group of junior leaders who took part in a junior officers' en- campment under the leadership of W. Ted Grant, field Scout executive. The following reservations show how the cabin will be used during the coming weeks: Friday, December 2, Troop 5, Wilmette, Mr. Reynolds in charge: Friday, December 9, Troop 55, Glen- view, Mr. Stanton in charge; Saturday, December 10, Troop 32, Highland Park, Mr. Rubens in charge; Friday, Decem- S| \ \ N \ \) N N N \ \ \ \ oN =x ber 16, Troop 3, Wilmette, Mr. Ball in charge; Saturday, December 17, Scoutmasters'" Training Course, and Friday, January 6 and Saturday, Jan- uary 7, Troop 13, Kenilworth, Mr. Townley in charge. "If you want the greatest thrill in the world--go to Winter Camp," says George Bersch of troop 4 of Wilmette, who is planning ahead to a great ex- perience at Wilderness Winter camp in Michigan. Fifteen north shore Scouts will be privileged to attend this camp in the Michigan dune lands in addition to a larger group that will take part in the Winter Camp at the "Cabin in the Woods." The comfort and safety, foods, and program, and leadership are very care- fully planned in advance.

To Give Instruction in French at Sears School French classes for children of inter- mediate grades are now being offered at the Joseph Sears school under the direction of Miss Stya Wansink. The classes, which were instituted at the request of a number of parents, will be conducted outside of the regular school periods on three days of each week. At the outset they will be con- ducted in the direct method, with the pupils learning words by hearing them and later on taking up the work with the use of a text. Miss Wansink, who is a regular member of the Sears school faculty, has had training especially fitting her for the work. In addition to taking French as a part of her regular uni- versity work, Miss Wansink spent some time studying in France. Fur- ther information on the classes may be obtained by calling the Joseph Sears school. Beauty Lies in Healthy EYES It's not so much the size or col- or of the EYES that makes them beautiful. Rather, it's the glow which radiates from them. Unless kept always clean and healthy, EYES lack this allur- ing lustre. Millions of women throughout the world promote EYE health and beauty with Murine. It cleanses EYES of irritating par- ticles and keeps them clear and bright. Contains no belladonna.

URINE MY EYEs ETRE Voters' League in Drive to Enlarge List of Sustainers A drive to secure sustaining mem- berships in the Winnetka League of Women Voters has been under way for two weeks with Mrs. Roger Sherman, the finance chairman, at the helm. With the dues of league members so low it is necessary to gain financial support from other sources. Many women who have not the time nor the energy-to do active work in the league make up for this lack by backing the league financially. Many of the contributing members, LW" ever, give a great deal of their time to league work. The new contributing list to date in- cludes the following: Mrs. Walter Benson, Mrs. Ayres Boal, Mrs. W. C. Boyden, Mrs. Edwin E. Brown, Mrs. Herman Butler, Mrs. Robert Cluett, Mrs. Edgar Crilly, Mrs. Leslie Craven, Mrs. Raymond Durham, Mrs. A. M. Ferry, Mrs. Frank Ferry, Mrs. Lucy Graves, Mrs. Sherman Hay, Mrs. Fritz Helmold, Mrs. William G. Hibbard, Mrs. Austin Jenner, Mrs. Ed- ward Kemp, Mrs. C. D. Kelley, Mrs. S. George Levy, Mrs. W. B.

Postmasters Discuss Ways of Speeding Mail Delivery At the regular monthly meeting of the North Shore Postmasters' associa- tion, held last Tuesday evening at the Haylofte in Evanston, plans were dis- cussed for the procuration of better train service for mail and relayed air mail for the north shore. Meeting with the postmasters were Frank Shoenfield, head of the Sixth Division of the Railway Mail service, R. S. Brauer, superintendent of the Tenth Division of Railway Mail service and Benjamin Meyers, Chief Traffic agent of the Air Mail service. As a result of the meeting and con- ference it is expected that within the next few weeks more trains will handle north shore mail and a later train will deliver air mail coming out on the north shore from the Maywood flying field in Chicago. It is expected that this will speed up the delivery on the north shore and will aid especially in the service between the various vil- lages.
