Sky Harbor is now ~managed by Maj. Schroeder and George F. Fisher. Long is not an aviator, but he has been.connected â€"withâ€"theâ€"businessâ€"end of Aying service for several years. _ Donald Long, formerly associated with Maj. R. %«' ("Shorty") Schroeâ€" der at the Curtiss Airport has just been appointed office manager at Sky Harbor Airport on Dundee road. JTacobus as ~Mr. Beeby, and Gerard Dinkeloo as the Rev. Peter Considine, the longâ€"suffering but patient host, completed the cast and with the othâ€" ers madeâ€"it a performance which will remain long in the memory of every auditor. © ‘ ; *~No garden in Highland Park is more beautifully landscaped than that of Mrs. Metzel, and the stone vailed terrace looking out over the lake, which, Saturday, had a depth of blue coloring almost unusual, made more than one as they stood there, speak of like vistas they had seen along the Italian coast, and decide that the famous blue of the Mediterranean was not so different, after all, than that of our own inland sea. Punch was served between the acts, from tables placed in four different sections, each under a large group of trees, and to make the entire beauty complete, the chorus of the Music club, after the first act, gave a group of songs that won prolonged applause. The Drama Group giving the proâ€" duction, was organized by Mr. Frank Fitt more than ten years ago, and has been an interested study class every year since. That they have an unusually successful career ahead of them in the community was an asâ€" sured fact in the minds of everyone present, Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Rose Blazier, as the hostess won an instant sympathy from everyâ€" one, for a weekâ€"end with Mary made every woman present feel she never eould have withstood a like ordeal and retained her reason. Shiela, as played by Betty Jacobus, one of the outstanding: members of the Circuit Theatreâ€"of theâ€"North_Shore, brought to her part the clever restraint that made it so telling, and the Sir Henry of Mr. Canright made his audience long to take Mary by the shoulders and shake her because of the woes she piled upon him. George Morris, herâ€"manager, was an outstanding favorite and an inâ€" stant success from the moment of his first entranceâ€"while Geoffrey Baker as the rejected lover and playright, brought to his part the touch of the professional that is so seldom found. Jean C. Allan, as the maid, Helen Zimmerman as the well meaning but irritating Miss Mimms, intent on reâ€" forming someone or some thing, Roy Back of the audience, in the shade of great oaks, a fountain® trickled down into the pool of a huge rockâ€" garden and wound its way down among the rocks and flowers like a stream, so natural, that one could easily imagine it had been there for centuries. y Long Now Office Mgr. of Sky Harbor Airport PLAY GIVEN SATURDAY IS GREAT SUCCESS Thursday, July (Continued from page 4) 16, 1931 Mothers Opinion of > Nursery School Given; â€"â€"Praises Institution Highland Park has many attracâ€" tions which endear its residents to it. It is a place where parents may rear their children with confidence that they are offering them the best in education and environment. One of the most unique opportunities in this direction fqr parents to investigate is the open air nursery school situated tion of â€"Miss Flora Levy and her asâ€" sistant, Miss Clare Baer, both trainâ€" ed especially for the work. Children are taken into the school at the age of seventeen months and leave at the age of five years when they enter kindergarten. s Practically all of the activities are carried out of doors. Sun baths are given daily on the beautiful velvet like lawn which is kept in perfect conâ€" dition for little bare feet and bodies to romp and play when weather conâ€" ditions permit. There is also the beach where wading can be indulged The companionship of the children is ideal. They are taught social and group activities and the individual‘s relation to society. <If a child.:.comes into. the school who is accustomed to playing by himself and not sharing his toys, he is soon taught the value of courtesy and generosity in play. Each child is taught to be independâ€" ent as soon as possible. He learns to dress himself, to help the younger make no fuss about his food. There is a physician in attendance and chilâ€" dren with colds are kept at home. is especially beautiful for there are many trees and shrubs and flowers in profusion. â€" in and wonderful castles of sand made. The environment at the school The school is a wonderful help to busy mothers because it cares for the child during the greater part of the day and allows the mother time for her own interests and relaxation. She is then far better able to care for the child on his return from the school. The children love their school and weep if they are kept at home for any reason. My little girl has been in the school since she was twenty months old. She is now threé and a half and her first words when she wakens .41 the morning â€"are:â€""May L go to school today?" _ A The schedule for the school is one that deserves special comment. There are periods of play and rest and the noonday meal is followed by a nap taken out of doors or on a sereenedâ€"in porch with proper supervision and perfect quiet. 7 In contrast to the child‘s home all the furniture and equipment of the school is for the little people. All schedules are adapted to the child‘s needs. The convenience, of grownâ€" ups is not considered and the atmosâ€" phere is one of perfect happiness and peace. A new feature which has been addâ€" ed this summer is the board privilege. Parents wishing to take a vacation themselves may leave their children with Miss Levy for any length of time with the certaintyâ€"that they will be cared â€"for properly and incidentally any bad habits as enuresis and feedâ€" ing problems gently corrected. © The summer session of the school runs until September first.

Rescue Youth Drifting _â€"__â€" After Engine Disabled After drifting about powerless on Lake Michigan about 15 miles from the Waukegan shore for 13 hours, the "Monitor Top," a 50â€"foot cabin cruiser owned by R. Cooper Jr., Chiâ€" cago, was finally brought into the Kenosha harbor last week by Kenâ€" osha coast guard operators headed by Captain Alfred Christopherson. The rescue of the disabled craft was effected after it had drifted helpâ€" lessly near the forbidden area off of Fort Sheridan where antiâ€"airâ€"craft guns are fired in target practice. The cruiser â€"carried Howard Mosâ€" sett, skipper, Cooper‘s 19â€"year old son, and one sailor from Chicago. After the craft became disabled Mossett and the sailor rowed into Waukegan in a small auxiliary boat to report the accident, arriving here at 10 o‘clock at night after eight hours of rowing. & Young Cooper remained with the boat all alone, and drifted for hours on the lake, powerless to check the craft as it floated toward the danger zone off Fort Sheridan, and then veerâ€" ing away and back again. Mrs. Catt says that it is up to the women of the world to end war. Well, Carrie could make a good beginning by persuading the female shock troops in the Russian army to disband. 31 +4 i4 PP 3 a $
