rAGE TEN Ravinia Festival Chairmen Launch Ticket Campaign Following the first general anâ€" nouncement luncheon given by the Festival committee for committee chairmen and the press at the Arte club last Wednesday, the Ravinia Festival headquarters is a vertible beeâ€"hive of activity, Coupon books are bda.nuul by the ‘gross to the North re village chairmen to fill the demand of all who wish to be forehanded in their purchase of the convenient and moneyâ€"saving exâ€" change coupons. _ So popular did the coupons prove last summer that the demand exâ€" ceeded the supply, and the closing date of the sale on July 5th, found many unprepared for the summer‘s needs, The town chairmen report a lively response and anticipate a greatly increased sale this season. As last year, coupon books selling for $10 contain 20 coupons. Each fiftyâ€"cent coupon is equivalent to a seventyâ€"five gate admission to the park, (cash entrance price) or is exchangeable for a seventyâ€"five cent reserved seat"in the pavilion, makâ€" In addition to this means of cost saving, a new service has been inâ€" augurated by the Festival Associaâ€" tion for the convenience of Ravinia patrons. A $5 deposit, or service charge, may be made at the Ravinia Festival office, 231 S. LaSalle street, room 1522, Chicago. This deposit will entitle one to order reservations direct from the Ravinia box office (telephone to be in operation the latter part of June) with the assurance that such reserâ€" vations will be held indefinitely unâ€" til called for, with no necessity of being picked up before concert time. Should such tickets not be called for, the $5 is forfeited.. As this is m service and convenience arrangeâ€" ment, the $5 deposit is not returnâ€" able at the end of the season. With the detailed attention toâ€" the better facilities for making reservaâ€" tions at Ravinia, the festival comâ€" mittee has not neglected the physiâ€" cal improvements of the park grounds for the comfort and conâ€" venience of patrons. Parking facilites are being greatly improved, with enlarged space and new entrances and exits both for the Green Bay and Sheriâ€" dan road parking spaces, obviating the traffic jams of the nights of heaviest attendance last year. One hundred free benches have been added to those outside of the.pavilion which is being painted a@ refurâ€" bished,in preparation for the gala opening July 1. The park grounds are being groomed and with an earlier start than last year, the peâ€" tunias will"flourish in their former fragrance and beauty. ‘The problemâ€" of quieting the erunching gravel walks is also under consideration, and last but not least, the stage itself is being set in a new and accustically correct setting under the careful supervision of experts, especially designed to enâ€" hance the orchestral tone and afford a pleasant background for the orâ€" chestra itself.

Staâ€" tistics show that some of our most serious accidentsâ€"in fact the largâ€" est percentage of themâ€"are caused by drivers smashing up on straight roads. ~ Possibly the solution is to have winding roads, well marked, so that the attentoin of the driver will be on his driving at all times. While many accidents do occur, of course, on hills and curves, a great many others occur on wide, straight, smooth highways.

Cl ) duugvue $1.25 $1.75 Propose Additional Tax on Gasoline Recently there has been introâ€" duced into the House of lfi;"”' tatives in Springfield House Bill No. 826, which would impose an addiâ€" tional tax of 1 per cent per gallon on gasoline sold in the State of Illinois. The measure would also provide a $29,000,000 gasoline tax diversion. Gasoline is already heavily taxed, and if not diverted this tax should go to the maintenance of highways in ‘Illinois. The constructions of Highways in the state has failed to keep abreast of automobile construcâ€" tion. If the present tax and autoâ€" mobile fees were used to construct and maintain highways, there would be no need for an additional tax. Automoblies of today are an esâ€" sential to living; they are a necesâ€" sity. Without adequate highways they become a menace. ._Diversion of the gasoline tax is not only ‘unfair, it is dangerous, and opposition to the diversion of this fund should be made to the legislation. ~ If five thousand dollars had been placed in a safeâ€"deposit vault every day ‘since Columbus _ discovered America, the total would now reach only oneâ€"year‘s gasoline tax collecâ€" tions, according to reliable sources. (Reprint from Carmi Democratâ€" Tribune). Automobiles are not the only luxâ€" ury, why not cosmetics, cigars, cigâ€" arettes and tobacco? And now there is a bill in the Legislature of the State of Illinois which would increase this tax one cent a gallon in the state, but the funds would not go for road buildâ€" ing, as the original gasoline tax was intended! We need a gasoline tax; it is a just and proper manner of obtainâ€" ing funds for highway construction on a logical basis of miles used and vehicle weight, but the diversion of these taxes is unfair. Last ye@P nearly 40,000 persons were killed on the highways of this nation and thousands of. others maimed and ifjgred. . Many of these casualties can be traced to highways that are not fit for the operation of the modern automobile. 101 North St. Johnsa Avpenue THE PRESS America‘s disgrace, in the form of traffic accidents, must be diminishâ€" ed. Highway construction is one of meet in Washington, with other officials, on May 27th of this year to plan new and adequate highways. But these highways . cannot be built without funds and these funds can be provided if the present gasoline tax is not diverted from its proper use. Gasoline tax diversion is not only folly, it is litle short of homiâ€" cide when traffic deaths that could be prevented by proper highway construction are taken into considâ€" eration. Every person who operates a motor vehicle should insist that there be no diversion. ‘The additional one cent tax in Illinois would be for school purâ€" poses. There is no fault to find with the aid of schools. Education PURNELL & WILSON, Inc. of our youth is one of the vital problems facing us today, but if %M“hrm‘rh& tion, let us look toward other sources. Cigarettes and cosmeties are luxuries. 'l'h-ludth(g major tobacco companies in United States totaled $823,191,000 in 1936, cosmetic figures are not mvailable. If there must be more taxation for schools, why not let those of us who use tobacco and cosmetics.help pay the tax? Highways are the crying need of this nation and taxation of motor fuels for other punposes in face of this is unreasonable and unsound as is any diversion of tax obtained from these motor fuels.
