Post Office Folks Stop Throwing Cases to Throw a Party The Post office folks from Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka and Glencoe abandoned their "duty of "throwing cases" Saturday evening to "throw a party" at Community House, Win- netka, where they enjoyed dancing, and ja musical program by Miss Hazel Nieman the piano-accordion radio artist. The Winnetka Post office orchestra furnished music for danc- ing, and their "Chief," Postmaster Joseph C. Braun, was the host. Postmaster Braun has had a party of this kind in mind ever since he moved the Winnetka Post office into its fine new quarters, on Chestnut street, but this was the first oppor- tune time presenting itself when all the various forces could get away.

WINNETKA 313 Knighthood Flowers Again Among Horace Mann School Pupils The desire to become a Squire or a Knight might be expected to be the greatest aspiration of a youth living in the days of King Arthur and the Round Table, but to have this ambi- tion transferred to the children of the twentieth century comes as something of a surprise to the uninformed. Casual questioning of the pupils in Miss Julia Krenwinkel"s sixth grade of the Horace Mann school will prove that such an ambition does exist, how- ever. And not only does it exist among the boys but among the girls also. The situation arises, it is explained by the children, from the fact that each child keeps a health chart. The charts, issued by the Chicago Tubercu- losis Institute and distributed by Miss Cora Queen, school nurse, lists the things that each child should do to keep himself in perfect health, such as to wash his teeth, face and hands, and drink milk. Fach pupil marks down on the chart exactly which of the health rules he has observed dur- ing the day. The record is thus kept daily for 12 weeks. At the end of that time the number of points fs totaled and if the room record is satis- factory, the room is given a health pennant. This does not explain the personal aspirations of the pupils in connec- tion with the various offices of the historic feudal system but children who have been keeping the charts for one year proudly exhibit credentials to prove that they have attained the office of Squire. And those who have faithfully maintained their health for two years assume everything in bear- ing and importance--with the excep- tion of the armor--of the Knight er- rant of old. The third year of faith- fulness brings the title of Knight Banneret and the fourth the excep- tional distinction of a Knight Constant. Miss Catherine Bond and Mrs. C. R. Hunt, sisters of F. W.
