Bells are not just belis for a‘ of that, Mrs. Mabel D. Sundell (Mrs. Ernest W.), collector of antique bells, claims. Bells, with thiree thousand years of history behind them,, are more than that, she says, as she compares them to people â€" either sweet and melodious or "tinâ€" panny," of every age and variety, and not without occasional folderol. Because the tone of a bell is its "soul and character," she points out that bells, like people, should not be judged by exterior ornate appearâ€" ances, but must be tried out to be found true in quality of tone . Although she began in 1930 by collecting modern bells, she became more discriminating as time went on so that now antique bells claim her special attention. Her musical ear has noted that old bells have better tonal values, just as wood and wine are better when aged. _ Another thing Mrs. Sundell notices in her search for bells is the lip projection, the extent of which also affects the tone. This unusual hobby grew out of her early love and training in music. Mrs. Sundell was graduated from the Lewis Institute and the Chicago Musical college in piano and took five years of voice culture. But the spark that set off her bell enthusâ€" iasm canie when she first saw, at Riverside, Cal., the Mission Inn‘s colâ€" lection of 600 antique and historical bells, From a nucleus of four Spanâ€" ish bells from that Inn grew her present collection of 140 antique bells, three sets of tubular chimes, and one set of Deagan chimes. The bell note is the musical sound most heard by a majority of people, if only they realized it. The bell calls us to labor, to sorrow, to joy, to battle, and to worship, Mrs. Sunâ€" dell reminds as. In fact, the whole world is set to chimes or bells â€" even to the baby‘s rattle, the bell on a cat, and the scissorsâ€"grinder‘s bell. _ Bells have influenced even architecture, Because of these varâ€" ied uses for the bell, a mountain of romance and superstition connected with bells has piled up through the centuries. _ At one time bells were made quadrangular, long and narâ€" row, and mitreâ€"shaped for the most part. Beginning with the sixteenth century they are round. The best bells are made of bell metal with three to five parts of copper to one of tin, the depth and sonorousness of tone increasing in proportion to size. The bell note itself is comâ€" pounded of four or five different values, the first called the strike note, Mrs. Sundell can play compoâ€" sitions on her bells. Outstanding for their fine tonal nuances are Mrs. Sundell‘s colonial bells, which, besides being beautiful in their simplicity, represent Amerâ€" ican history. She has a replica of the Liberty bell, a copper sheep bell from Thomas Jefferson‘s home at Monticello, a figurine bell from the Witch House at Salem, Mass., and a colonial bell used to call George Washington to lunch, acquired from a branch of his family in Virginia. Eg.n'fii.]chhn-' temple bell, the te of one in the Chinese Lama Jehol temple at the Chicago Century Aside from the historical aspect, the bells owned by Mrs. Sundell represent 47 states and 15 foreign countries, She has found bell hisâ€" tory and bell lore a fascinating study. A Florentine bell decorated with the story of Adam and Eve, a Ceylion, East Indian elephant bell, an Indian worship bell, an 1810 gongâ€" operated Chinese bell, a camel bell from Cairo, several altar bells outâ€" standing for their tonal qualities, an Egyptian donkey bell, a Buddhist paâ€" English, Italian, and Russian bells, Others that have historical sigâ€" nificance are an 1860 steel bell from the first courthouse in Chicago, a chased Indian bell that was in the 1876 centennial exposition in Philaâ€" delphia, an 1850 "ball" bell used in one of the first schools of Chicago, and a sterling hand carved bell that represents the first jeweler and the oldest silversmith in the United States. 1815. But not many of her bells are Unxusuar Stomies about USUAL PEOPLE duplicates, as rarity is a virtue too, in her estimation. In her Chippenâ€" dale cabinet she has a row of bells that are figurines of various digniâ€" taries, a Roman soldier, a French court lady, Jeanne D‘Arc, William Shakespeare, Queen Elizabeth (with two feet as clappers), "Heile Selasâ€" sie," and two Napoleon bells. Mrs. Sundell has heard and seen the most famous bells and carillons in America through her many years of travel. Mr. John D. Rockefeller Jr. has coutributed much to bell interest in America through gifts of six large carillons (bell towers)â€"one of the largest in the world of seventyâ€"six bellsâ€"at a total cost of $2,000,000. From a study of the Sundell colâ€" luction, a Northwestern student wrote a thesis, and a young man of Buffalo also was inspired to start his own coilectwon, which won a first prize at a New York state fair. _ At the request of Mrs. George Gaidzik, the Highland Park Lake Front Safety commission will preâ€" sent Mrs. Gaidzik with a leather bound album suitably embossed and containing the remarks of Mr. Leo J. Sheridan, president of the Lake Front Safety commission, the meâ€" morial address of the Rev. Louis W. Sherwin and the address by Mayor Frank J. Ronan, Mayor of Highland Park, dedicating the Gaidzik memorâ€" ial, together with the program covâ€" ering the memorial services for George Gaidzik and his son, on the anniversary of their deaths. The two were drowned while sailing, a year ago August 20, on Lake Michâ€" igan. Mrs. Gaidzik expressed a deâ€" sire for a copy of the remarks and the committee decided to comply with her wishes by making a suitâ€" able presentation. Her bell collection and programs have been presented before the Chiâ€" cago Woman‘s club, the University Guild of Evanston, the Nineteenth Century club of Osk Park, the Inâ€" fant Welfare of Oak Park, and also the collectors‘ group of the Highâ€" land Park Woman‘s club and other organizations. And if the adage that two hobâ€" bies keep you young is true, Mrs. Sundell ‘s destined to remain eternâ€" ally so, for in her home in Highland Park are a dozen sources of conâ€" stant interest, samplers, furniture, antique glassware, and pitchers, beâ€" sides her rarc and distinguished colâ€" lection of bells, Mrs. Gaidzik To Be Presented Copy Of Memorial Address Following is a copy of the openâ€" ing remarks made by Mr. Leo J. Sheridan, president of the Lake Front Safety commission, which will be included. This local commission has also deâ€" cided to erect a bronze tablet on the pier in memory of George Gaidâ€" zik and his son, Michael. Mrs. Gaidzik, Honorable Mayor and Friends: One year ago today, without warning, a tragedy struck the waters of Highland Park and took the lives of our neighbor, friend and fellow Yacht Club member, Mr. George Gaidzik, and his son, Miâ€" chael. The almost miraculous escape of several other members, their sons and a daughter, served to deepen the grief caused by the deaths of the By ANNA ‘TAMARRI It is time to prune your trees and shrubs, get ready for transplanting evergreens, shrubs, and perennials, reâ€"seeding old lawns, or constructing new ones. â€" We are equipped to do all such work or assist you with free suggestions for solving your garden problems.

Two The courage of Mr. and Mrs, A. A. Schwartz, and Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Feldman, providentially enroute in the Yacht "Leroya" to the Wilâ€" mette harbor when the storth struck, removed the lives of six men and one girl from the grave danger in which they had been placed by the capsizing of their crafts. Testimonâ€" inls bearing the names of those whose rescue they accomplished have been presented to Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz and Mr. and Mrs. Feldâ€" The shock of the tragedy to the community was sufficiently severe to project a community effort to surâ€" round sailing in Highland Park waâ€" ters with greater safeguards, &nd to afford greater protection to those living in this community, who enâ€" joy and participate in the fine, clean water sport that is our commen inâ€" terest. The Highland Park Lake Front Safety Fund committee was formed to prevent, in so far as posâ€" sible, a repetition of the tragedy that cost the lives of George Gaidâ€" zik and his son Michael. That comâ€" mittee, in a surprisingly short peâ€" riod, received more than three thouâ€" sand dollars by voluntary public subâ€" scriptions, to accomplish its work of placing an adequate, powered life boat in these waters, Generous fiâ€" nancial help was also received from the city and park governments. The funds provided by the people of Highland Park are now repreâ€" sented in the steel pier and in the high powered, seaworthy life boat "Rescue." To those, who, through their fiâ€" nancial support, made this result possible, we extend our profound thanks, and to the men on this comâ€" mittee, and particularly the men who have labored long, earnestly and unselfishly on the design of the pier and in the selection of a boat most suitable to our requirements, I express the appreciation of those whose funds they have so carefully and competently administered. It is fitting, therefore, that on this, the first anniversary of the deaths of George Gaidzik, and his son, Michael, that we pay tribute to their memories, that we dedicate a community effort brought into beâ€" ing by the grief of their loss, and that we again extend our deep symâ€" pathy to Mrs. Gaidzik. * % To perpetuate the memory of the deceased, the Highland Park Lake Front Safety Fund Committee, North Shore Yacht Club, and the Sea Scouts join unanimously in the suggestion that the pier be named and known in the future as the "Gaidzik Memorial Pier." This memorial service, expressing the community‘s tribute to the memâ€" ories of George Gaidzik and his son, will be read by Dr. Louis W. Sherâ€" win of the Presbyterian church of Highland Park. Honorable Frank J. Ronan, Mayor of the City of Highland Park, will dedicate the structure and conclude the services. Campbell Chapter to Meet Wednesday On Wednesday evening, Sept. 6, Campbell Chapter, O. E. S., will meet in Masonic Temple. There will be initiation with a social hour following. Members are urged to attend. r of another father and son. soldiers from Fort Sheridan Jim MeceMillen To through the ropes at Peg‘s arens next Friday night, Sept. 1 at routes 54 and 20 he will be facing George Dusette, the French Canadian who gave both Mac and the fans one of the biggest surprises of Lake counâ€" ty wrestling history by earning a referees verdict after sixty minutes of thrilling action. Jim emerged broken hearted after their last bout and begged for another chance against Dusette under any condition but only sufficient notice to conduct a training schedule. The Antioch farmer is rapidly reaching a climax for his bout and promises that he will make short work of the little fellow who marred his perfect Lake county record. But no fear has been registered in the French Canadian‘s camp where the muscle man is cracking them unconscious with his full nelson. From this source has come the report that George is not satisfied with only a decision but will definitely step into the top flight by putting Jim‘s shoulders fiat to the mat Frlq.y night. The word is going around that Dusette is ready to spring some surprise beâ€" cause he could have rested very comfortably on his victory and dodged the Antioch farmer for a spell. Whatever Mfld‘y may bring the bout these two athletes will definitely bring the present stellar mat season to a close. In the semiâ€"windup position, the bearded athlete, Mike Yondon of Lodi, Calif., will come to grips with the Chicago youngster, Frankie Talaber, who has gone places in the light heavyweight division. Frankie is the son of the former middleâ€" weight title holder, Lou Talaber and the experts describe him as beâ€" ing greater than his sire at the same period of his carere., In the remaining preliminaries, a newcomer, Walter Sirois of Sweden promises to give the Michigan Wildâ€" cat, Jimmy Goodrich, sufficient argâ€" ument to stop his aggressive tactics. Sirois has performed in sports arenas throughout /fi: world and his clever style has n a surprise wherever he has appeared. Advance word has it that Goodrich got himâ€" self a.cat in the bag when he signâ€" ed against Sirois and will meet up with the surprise of his career on Friday night. The remaining match brings Al Williams against Chuck Powell who received his mat training in the army while his tatooed adversary is a graduate of the navy mat. So the opener produces a match that pits the army against the navy to round out the final and probably the best card of the current season at Grayslake. D.A.R. Lays Plans 8.
