TTT THE (? by Tv March 26, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 2,000 Children Will Take Part in Annual Play Fete on May 13 Two thousand boys and girls from | the public, parochial and private schools of Evanston will participate in the annual Spring Play day and May festival to be held on Northwestern university campus Friday May 13 un- der auspices of the Bureau of Recrea- tion. The program will start Friday after- noon with a brilliant and colorful series of athletic drills and folk dances. The festival will begin with a fairy dance by children from St. Nicholas' and St. Mary's schools. This will be followed by a dance by the "earth children" who will celebrate the coming of spring. The Civic band will play for both af- ternoon and evening programs. Drills and dances will wind up the afternoon program. Nearly 700 chil- dren from school district 75 will per- form under the direction of Miss El- nora Smith. Over 400 children under the direction of F. C. Jackson and Miss Casey will be present from District 76. In the evening two groups of girls from Northwestern under the direction of Clella Long will open the program with a shower dance. This will be fol- lowed by a dance of the sunbeams which will later usher in the rainbow girl who will be crowned Queen of May by the spirit of spring. The May Queen will be selected from the senior class at the high school. A number of folk dances by high school groups numbernig 350 girls will follow the coronatioin. These girls are in charge of Elfrida Maine and Mer- cedes Pactau. A chimney sweep drill by the boys from St. Mary's and St. Nicholas will also be given. The Wom- en's gym class will give a milk maid drill, while fifty Roycemore girls under the direction of Miss Elenor Atkins will give a folk dance. Cut in Packard Prices Result of Long Planning Officers of the Packard Motor Car company say that the price reductions on its cars recently announced had been in the making since before the war. They state that Packard became con- vinced that the spirit of the American people in wanting better things would grow. With this thought officers of the company decided that enough peo- ple would want a Packard of the type of the present Packard Six to warrant making it and offering it at a price which would permit a large number of people to buy. Just as rapidly as pos- sible prices have been reduced until now a Packard Six five-passenger se- dan sells for less than half what it did in 1920. "Packard knew that it must guard the quality of its car more jealously than ever as each reduction in price was made," said C. E. Stube, Manager of the Evanston branch of the Pack- ard Motor Car Co., of Chicago. "Only by rigid maintenance of Packard qual- ity could it keep its most precious as- set, the prestige attached to owning a Packard car."
