10 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1924 SINGERS HOLD BIG JUBILEE American Singers' Union To Meet in Chicago "Every appreciator of choral singing in Chicago and vicinity," reads a no- tice, "is getting ready for the seventy- fifth annual reunion of the North American Singers union, which is to be held at the Coliseum, Chicago, June 11, 12 and 13. While the meet- ings held every year in some import- ant center of the country are always interesting and largely attended, the diamond jubilee of the foundation of the organization, which is to be cele- brated this year, gives it special sig- nificance. In every part of the United States, in large cities and small com- munities, members of the North America Singers' union are preparing for the jubilee, and the Chicago com- mittee, which is in charge of the ar- rangements for the event, is convinced that at least 20,000 members of the union will be in attendance. "The elaborate programs which have been months in the making, will be participated in by 8,000 singers, and the feature of the Saengerfest will be the amalgamation of the male chorus- es of the various individual societies into a monster chorus which will be the largest ever brought together in any one spot in the world. This chorus will give a program of four- part songs, in which the German tra- dition of singing without instrumental accompaniment will be observed. How- ever, several of the programs in which women's, men's and mixed choruses will be heard, will have the Chicago Symphony orchestra, one of the world's most noted permanent sym- phonic bodies, to supply the musical setting. "There will be scores of soloists, some of the greatest singers holding membership in the North American Singers' union having been assigned places on the several programs, and in addition to these there will be an array of special talent chosen from the ranks of the Chicago Civic Opera company. One program will be de- voted to the presentation of Ameri- can folk-songs, all of these being manuscript compositions entered in the prize contest inaugurated by the North American Singers' union over a year ago. Since the contest was given initial announcement, expert judges have been receiving and passing on the compositions submitted, many of which it is said possess unusual merit. "The North American Singers' union is the oldest musical organization in the United States, having been found- ed at Cincinnati in 1849. Its annual reunions have been held in many parts of the country and in 1899 the golden jubilee was held in the city of its inception. The last Chicago meet- ing was held in 1881 when the organi- zation was thirty-two years old. Dur- ing the last twenty-five years, the membership of the union has more than trebled, and it is expected that the diamond jubilee celebration will be the greatest event in the history of music in America." LOCAL CATHOLICS AID IN CHARITIES DRIVE His Eminence, Cardinal Mundelein, asks the full co-operation of local Catholics in his plans for raising funds to care for the thousands of needy children, destitute widows, and other unfortunates who annually appeal to the archdiocese of Chicago for aid. It is estimated that $1,000,000 will be required to meet the demands for the next twelve months, even though, under the direction of the Cardinal, the work of collecting funds, super- vising service and distributing funds has been co-ordinated under one head, The Associated Catholic Charities, which has as directors, D. F. Kelly, Robert M. Sweitzer, Joseph F. Con- nery and other successful Chicago business men. These men have operated the char- ities at from one-third to one-sixth of the administrative cost of similar agencies, it is stated. A factor in this low cost, it is explained, is the large number of sisters who receive no money for their services and the near- ly 3,000 laymen who voluntarily aid in bringing the needs of the poor of their neighborhoods to the attention of the charities. All the Catholics of Dupage, Kankakee, Lake, Will and Grundy counties, which with Cook. make up the Archdiocese, will be given an opportunity to contribute to this work at their local churches, Sun- day, June 8, it is announced. Colonial Lense Glasses Society's Latest Edict The Colonial or octagon shaped lenses have come into their own again after 100 years of obscurity. These lenses have come into their own again ence during Benjamin Franklin's time and some of these old glasses can still be found in the collections of our grand parents. So really, there is nothing new about this shape of glass at all and it is just making it's cycle of time as all other things do. H. A. Hattstrom, of Hattstrom and Sanders, opticians of the north shore, located at 702 Church street, Evanston, was interviewed on this subject and says that the Colonial shaped glasses are here to stay and are not considered a fad or Co-ordination My fragments, isol ated and small, science can reconstruct the great creations of na- ture. A fossil bone reveals a race of giant lizards. A fern frond embedded in limestone tells of a prehistoric forest. A skull dug from a bed of a river clay records whole chapters in human history. But rarely can man's handiwork, composite in its elements, be thus imagined from any of its parts. Considered alone, a tiny carbon gran- ule from the: telephone transmitter cannot even hint of the complex instrument. Only as part of a co-ordinated mechanism has this littlest unit its full significance. The telephone needs of the nation require a service national in scope and operation. Men, materials and money on a vast scale are essen~ tial. Practical co-ordination of the numberless human and mechanical agencies indispensable to the service is possible only through a nationwide organization. This the Bell System provides.
