Winn. 998-999 Country Day High School Pupils to Give Light Opera "Princess Ida," by Gilbert and Sul- livan, will be presented by the High school students of the North Shore Country Day school on April 12, 13 and 14. The April 12 performance will be a matinee for children at 2:30, and the Friday and Saturday performances will be in the evening at 8 o'clock. Tickets may be bought at the school. Seventy-five of the High school stu- dents are singing in the opera, 24 of whom have parts as "leads." There are two different casts for the leads, which will alternate for the three per- formances. The rest of the High school students are all connected with the opera in some capacity, either as scenery designers and painters, or on the property, costume or business com- mittees. "Princess Ida," or "Castle Adamant" has been played frequently in England, but is not as well known in America as one or two of the other Gilbert and Sullivan operas. It is based on the story of Tennyson's poem, "The Prin- cess," and is a humorous treatment of the subject of "women's rights" and higher education of women. This is the fifth Gilbert and Sul- livan opera to be performed at the school. Past performances have in- cluded "The Pirates of Penzance," "The Gondoliers," "Iolanthe," and Pa- tience." Arthur J.

Woolhiser and Robert Kingery to Speak at Annual "Local Affairs" Program The Winnetka League of Women Voters will hold its final meeting for the club year Monday, April 9, with a luncheon at 12:30 o'clock, in Rudolph Matz hall, Community House. The board of directors will meet at 11 a. m.,, in the Philip Post room at the Center. While this meeting will end the monthly luncheons for this season the activities of the league will be continued for sev- eral weeks to come, due to the Primary election on April 10 and the national convention of the league, April 23 to 28, in Chicago. The program on Monday will be on the subject "Local Affairs," with Mrs. R. S. Childs as chairman in charge. H. IL. Woolhiser, Winnetka manager, will give a summary of the village or- ganization, and Robert Kingery, secre- tary of the Chicago Regional Plan com- mission, will speak on the subject, "The Metropolitan Area as it is related to Winnetka." On account of the recent discussion of zoning in Winnetka it is felt that it will be especially interesting to hear this subject discussed from the point of view of the entire district by such an authority as Mr. Kingery. Talk on "Better Homes" Mrs. B. F. Langworthy, who is chair- man of the speakers' committee for Winnetka in the National Better Homes movement, will give a brief talk explain- ing that movement. Sample ballots of the Primary election will be given to the luncheon guests, and Mrs. Edwin E. Brown will conduct a ballot exhibition explaining the im- portance of some of the offices on the ballot. Because of the large number of com- mittee chairmen who actively function in the league, the plan adopted last year of presenting to the members condensed mimeographed copies of the annual re- ports will be used again this year. The retiring president, Mrs. John VanderVries, will give her message, following which the balloting for the following ticket proposed by the nomi- nating committee--and any other addi- tional nominations which may be made from the floor--will take place. Nominees for Offices President, Mrs. A. Montague Ferry; 1st vice-president, Mrs. William F. Brown; 2nd vice-president, Mrs. R. C. McNamara; corresponding secretary, Mrs. John R.
