WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1925 19 OPEN CONCERT WAITING LIST Still Opportunity to Obtain Season Tickets Some of those who have been dis- appointed in the past in securing sea- son tickets for the New Trier Sym- phony concerts will be able to do so this year. Officers of the association are anxious to correct the impression that no tickets will be available. While it is true that more tickets are subscribed for than there are seats in the New Trier auditorium, yet there are a certain number that move away or who do not take their tickets for var- ious reasons. After September 21, tickets will be offered to those on the waiting list. R. D. Burtner, 1504 Monadnock building, Chicago, is putting names on the waiting list as fast as they are re- ceived. Tickets are not sold for the individual concerts of which there are to be seven. The Symphony concerts have been the means of bringing people from New Trier Township together in a very pleasant way. The concerts have not only been very entertaining in them- selves, but the social features have proved to be increasingly enjoyable. The date of the first concert which will be early in October will be announced next week together with the program. Grant Railway Permit for Highway Crossings . The Highland Park city council, at its meeting last week, passed an ordin- ance granting a temporary permit to the new west line of the Chicago and North Shore railroad for four crossings in the city limits. These crossings are at County Line road, Clavey road, Deerfield avenue and Deerfield road. The permits are good for six months and, due to the fact that the crossings, to be put in immediately, will not meet the city, Illinois State Commerce Association or Illinois State Highway department's specifications, the or- dinance specifies that the lines shall be used for construction trains only and that, at the expiration of the present permit, proper crossings shall be installed. Chicago and North Western railway was also granted a permit to lay a sewer under their right of way through the city. 5 Mr. and Mrs. Joseph B. Coambs and their family, 142 Church road, have re- turned from a month's trip in the East. They spent some of their time at Mt. Chatham, Cape Cod. --0-- Mrs. Lowell Copeland of Lakeside, Mich., is the guest of Mrs. Horace Tenney of 640 Pine street. --0-- Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Foster of 596 Maple avenue, departed Monday for a fortnight's stay in Estes Park. EVANSTON TO WIDEN LINK OF BIG HIGHWAY R. M. Brown, Evanston superintend- ent of streets, is now completing plans to widen West Railroad avenue and Ridge avenue at the junction of Em- erson street and the North Western railroad, he announced this week. The wider thoroughfare is neded to meet the traffic congestion which will re- sult from the opening of McCormick road, now being completed by the Chi- cago Sanitary District and which will lead to the proposed new traffic high- way on the north shore. The widening of West Railroad and Ridge avenues at this point will facili- tate travel and lessen congestion at the point where most of the heavy traffic goes through Evanston from north to south on Saturdays and Sundays. Ridge avenue runs into West Railroad avenue at this point making a 130 de- gree angle. It is the purpose of the Street Department to eliminate this angle entirely and permit the heavy traffic from north to south to go over West Railroad avenue without delay and confusion. Lake Bluff Orphanage Gets Excellent Staff The Lake Bluff orphanage opens this fall with a fine staff, the women being specially trained in the work for which they are registered. Miss Helen Ramsey, who will have charge of the boys is a graduate of Lawrence college. She will pay particular at- tention to the development of char- acter out of school hours. Miss Anne Kinkel, a graduate of C. M. T. S, is registering as secre- tary and Miss Jane McGinnis, an ex- perienced graduate teacher, will assist Mrs. Helen Prouty. Miss Elizabeth Eussley, who taugh in private schools for a number of years, will have charge of the home placement depart- ment for the next two years. The home is one of the principal wel- fare beneficiaries of the Wilmette Parish Methodist church. TRY THIS OUT "One phase of radio reception which is generally overlooked and yet has a most important bearing on results," says Dr. Alired N. Goldsmith, Chief Broadcasting Engineer, of the Radio Corporation of America, "is the loca- tion of the loud speaker. "It is astonishing how considerably radio music can be modified by chang- ing the location of the loud speaker. A little experimentation along this line will generally produce worthwhile re- sults. Especially is this true in sum- mer, when the static background stands out boldly unless the sound volume is reduced. The loud speaker, located indoors, will give more volume but it will also focus attention on every little detail, static background included, no matter how faint it may be. "On the other hand, if the loud speaker is brought out on the porch or on the lawn, little details of its voice are no longer discernible and only the main theme--music or speech --remains to attract attention of Phone Winnetka 32 16 PROUTY ANNEX WINNETKA TEAMING & SUPPLY CO.
