November 13, 1926 WINNETKA TALK Winnetka Observes Armistice Day In School Ceremonies Armistice day was observed in Win- netka, where the banks and the post office were closed throughout the day. Flags were displayed from many resi- dences and business houses. A firing squad from Fort Sheridan marched from headquarters of Win- netka post No. 10, American Legion, under the flag and the Legion ban- ner, to the steps of the village hall, where at 11 o'clock they fired three volleys and sounded taps. The flag and the Legion colors were then taken by the color bearers to Skokie school. At Skokie school the Armistice day program was under the direction of H. P. Clark, director of physical edu- | cation, who was in France during the war. The service while brief was very impressive. The pupils came to atten- tion at the sound of the bugle, saluted the flag and repeated the oath of al- legiance. They remained at attention while taps was being sounded in honor of those who lost their lives during the war. Immediately following, Rev. Thomas A. Goodwin, of the Congrega- tional church, described briefly the sit- uation in the trenches when word of the signing of the armistice came to the men. Rev. Goodwin was an officer in the marines at the outbreak of hos- tilities and later was in the infantry in France. Mr. Clark was also in charge of the Armistice day program at the Horace Mann school. There the children stood at attention for two minutes while the clock struck eleven. Mr. Clark explained that the armistice was signed at eleven o'clock and also told of how the event was received in France. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ware, 325 Abbottsford road, left Kenilworth Thursday of last week for New York. They sailed from New York on Sun- day for California by way of the Pana- ma Canal. They expect to arrive in California December 1.
