The Junior Hikers of Kenilworth ~eld a hobby show not long ago. As you perhaps know, and as we· re going to tell you, the Junior Hikers are boys unHobbies /or der Scout age. They held their hobby show in the new Everybody Kenilworth gymnasium. Their hobbies were numerous- butterflie , airplanes, marbles, birds' nests, Indian relics, cigar bands. Each boy cultivated his hobby by collecting and arranging specimens of the thing he was especially interested in. \ Ve once knew a bov, now a man with a familv in \Yinnetka. who used to take pleasure in making a collection of birds of all sorts. He w~uld pre en·e the bodies of the birds with arsenic in some form and then label carefully each bodv. It kept him thoroughly occupied out of s~hool hours and effectively prevented him f rotn hunting for something to do. Everybody. young and old. should haYe a hobby. Emphatically every man should have a hobby. Everv busine ss or professional man should. have n-ot onlv a vocation but also an avocation, which is fust the same as a hohby. \Y e know of nothing so effecti \·e in the process of making life worth while. as the .culth·ati.on :>f a hobby. It increases the meamng of hfe tremendouslv. This accounts for the fact that no man is enthusiastic .. so full of the mere joy of li,·ing, as the person who rides a hohhy. SHORE LINES ENCORE You sa}' that you. still love me ·w hen I ask }'01t. Bttt I'd rather H car it from )'Oltr lips, unprompted By that query fro· m my soul. }'ott sa\' that I should know that, For by- now the tale is old. Darling, that may all be true, But, still; I simpJy must be told. -Becky Sue. Becky Sue's appeal as voiced .in the above is probably the harbinger, or first ro~tn, among the bagful or two of spring poems desttned to come Shorelineward at this sea·son of the year. vVell, welcome. thrice welcome ! Country va. City Life . Grade Separation will save life. Let,s have immediate action! As the number of airplanes flying over our north shore towns . increase, so must the number of la\vs and regulations increa e. Only a few years ago we had Laws /or no air problems. We were Airplanes concerned only \vith happening on and under the surface of the earth. But those days have passed and new days are upon us. Why should we trouble o~rselves about planes? They fly hack .and forth o\·er our heads and houses, but what harn1 can thev do us? The answer is obvious. Think ~f the effect on your brains of having a monkey \vrench dropped on them from an elevation of several hundred. to say nothing of severa~ thousand, feet! Therefore, it is quite necessary to insist that aviators shall keep their tools fron1 leaving the places "·here they rightfully belong. Then too there are some playful fliers who like to perforn1 stunts. Some ·like to loop the loop: others enjoy tail- spinning. All such stunts threaten not only the lives of the aviators themseh·es but also of the innocent public below. Several tons of metal dropping . from the skies and gaining momentum as it drops could pretty effectually eliminate an automobile. What could it not do to the human body made up as it is so largely of water? Then too, an airplane in full flight makes an awful lot of noise. .-\. fleet of them sweeping over a cemetery would wake the dead. Imagine the effect on the living. They must be equipped with mufflers. \Ve must think seriously about laws for airplanes. The se,·enth snccc~~ful season of onr Little Symphony orchestra has just closed. On all sides one may hear people singing the praises of this excellent Ottt· Little group of artists. So rarely. Symphony if ever. has fault been found. with its playing that one mav ea. ih· class it with tho e fortunate and exJ;crienc~d organizations that cannot fail · to plea . e. The vear has been a red-letter vear for the orchestra an .l for the society th~t spon ors it. The soloists as . isting at the concerts have been unu ually acceptable. The feeling between players and audience ha been productive of much satisfaction. And now our attention must turn towards the coming season of 1929-1930. In order that the coming concerts may be even better than those of the past season what must the patrons do? 'fwo things. Talk up the concerts. Ex- Dear :M ique : Speaking of the farm boy who left hi·s happy home amidst the potato patches and the cornfield s to work in the Big City, here'·3 a letter he. wrote to dear brother Reuben , who elected to sttck by the farm: "Dear Rt1be: Thursday we auto'd out to tite count ry club where v·;e golfed until dark. Then \\'e motored to the beach, and Fridayed there." Brother Rube \H:)te back: "YesterdaY we buggied to town and baseballed all after.t100t~. Then we went to Med's and pokered till morning. Today we muted out to the corn field and gee-hawed until sundown. Later we supp ered and then piped for awhile. After th<~:t \\' e _taircased un to our room and bedsteaded unttl th e clock fived.;' -Glenna from · Glencoe Not being a student of latin, (or whatever it is) we are totally unfamiliar with the character of the Scriblerua club at New Trier High school. If, however eligibles include those lay journalists who write pi;ces for the papers, penned in undecipherable lonrhan.cl and on both sides of the paper, then we are prepared to help swell the ranks of the Order of Scriblerua. ... l so If there were no other cars on the country highways after nightfall we believe that we might not dislike nig-ht dri\·ing. But other people will dri,·e at night Why Drive and will turn their bright lights on long before there at Night? is anv need for them. \Ve have noticed that when ~e have the monopoly of the road after clark that driving is quite pleasant. But o~her ~ars with da.zzling headlights directed nght 1nto our brat~s are c~n stantly worrying us, and cars behmd ~s wtth equally bright lights come up from behmd and the blinding rays are reflected from our. rearview mirror into tho ··e same fuddled hrams. And now as 'the age progresses a new nuisance appears. .\ir-way beacons end t~1eir troublesome beams around the fields and mto ou~ eves. On our way home from :\Iilwaukee the other evenin()' our driving was interfered b c. . with by se\·eral of these ~ uppo . eclly hene11etal beacon~. XXX AND THE LINO MAN \\'ell. well, after all these years we have word from Hub the im·e terate Kaintuckian, and that to the eff'ect that PrexY Herbert and the new Jones law ain't yrt been ·heard of down thatawa}:; "Plentv of XXX," sa,·s Hub. "Come on Down. Huh next proceeds to discourse concerning t~e "shell-shocked" linotype operator, who spends hts leisure moments setting "pie" lines. This hombre. Hub would have us believe, posses·ses a separate and distinct cuss-\\·ord for each and every one of the 240-odd mats in the lino magazine. It is, then, not surprising that his best productions read about as follow.;: ?X~(*-~4§0-n$%&!!! The vacation that comes this year at the :;ame time as the coming of the vernal equinox, when as everv school boy ought to know. · · spring is due to arrive, is a Spring \·acation sec nd in its appeal Vacatio-n only to the long summer vacation. School children. who for three long winter months ha\·e been confined to stuffv class rooms, hail ,,·ith particular joy the advent of the Easter recess. Judging from the mild weather that we are now enjoying in mid-.:\farch we think it rather likely that the boys and girls will take advantage of the spring- holida~·s to hike out into the for est presen·es and see how nature is getting along. They will probably return to their homes with hunches of pussy willow and a sorry collection of wet feet. 'Twas ever Thus "Shorty," whose business it is to vend the late st ne\\·s and sundries from hi·s vantage point at the "L" terminal in \Yilmette, has just settled him se lf ,·.;ith his mother in a brand new h:)use in Kenilworth. The editor of at least one of the news mediums in question remain'3 content to find shelter three flights up and way back. Aurmenting the fact that last Sunday was a fine sprinr day was the circumstance that Wihuette was in the throes of its annual Community ~heat fund campairn. Now had it been an unpleasant day many a householder would have been hard put for an explanation of his failure to respond to the doorbell . . · Up in the Air Xow that Glencoe ha s enacted an ordinance to regulate the operation of airplanes above that Yillage-stipulating sizeable penalties for a number of prospective offenseS-\Ye are at a loss to know just how Chief "Jake" and his minions wilt go about the bu siness of bringing aerial offenders to justice. The new Chicago Civic Opera house appears to be conveniently built to accommodate ambitious songsters who, failing to make the grade, may be tempted to end it all in the Chicago river. , I -MIQUE.
