18 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1925 Joseph Horn Engaged to Noted Golfer HIS week brings word of a wedding in the future that will be of widespread interest, to the north shore and the middle west especially. Mrs. Clinton Sumner Burns of Kansas City announces the engagement of her daughter, Miriam, to Joseph Francis Horn, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Horn of 1044 Forest avenue, Wil- mette. Miss Burns, with a background of seven years of golf, achieved fame for herself and the north shore, when, as an entrant from Westmoreland Golf club, she won the Woman's Western Golf championship in 1923, after which, in recognition of the event, the club gave her a life membership. In 1924 she was runner-up in the same event, and even now she has made reservations for the Western tournament which will be played off this year in August, at the White Bear Yacht club, about 20 miles from Minneapolis. She has also held the Missouri State championship for several years. Miss Burns is completing her third year at Northwestern uni- versity where she is a member of the Sigma Alpha Iota music sorority. Her fiance is also a student at Northwestern, and is a member of an eastern fraternity, Phi Delta Psi. No plans have been made for the wedding.

There must be complex engi- neering studies, careful financing plans and thousands of manufac- turing operations before new facilities can be built and made ready for public use. And when they are ready, the workers must also be ready, skilled in the multitude of tasks incident to the operation and maintenance of telephone plant and equipmeént. In every important center in the country, new members of the telephone forces are in continuous training, preparing to meet tomor- row's telephone needs.

Millions of miles of wire interlace the conti- nent, to interconnect your tele- phone with nearly 16,000,000 others. Tomorrow there will be more telephones, for the fation demands and expects them.
