A sister for Mary Lou, who was LOOK WHO‘S HERE! Two little boys were Elizabethâ€" was chosen at Celebrates 94th Birthday By Alice Zabel On Tuesday, November 25, Mrs. Annette R. Jones celebrated her 94th birthday. Family and friends gathered to wish her well at her touring the United States at the time. She was the first graduate of the Chicago Musical college, the oldest musical school in Chicago, and was one of the founders of the "Amateur Musical Club." A group regularly to play piano quartettes and to help improve musical stand~ music at an for of four friends in the eighties met Amateur Musical Club", later "The Musicians‘ Club‘of Women", one of the outstanding clubs of its kind in the United States. Among the club‘s very worthwhile activities is the giving of musical scholarships to worthy students. Mrs. Jones was one of the most experienced and best known enâ€" ts wheiy ser aorompeaied why ers she jed was Johanna Gadski, the great Wagâ€" nerian star, In 1881 Mrs. Jones came to spend ‘the summer at Highland Hall on S. St. Johns. avenue and Northwestern Military academy, since torn down. A few years later sheâ€" moved to Highland Park perâ€" manently. & During the 90‘s Mrs. Jones was president of the Ossoli club here, a literary group within the Highland Park club. She gave freely of her Ravinia drive, a hotel which stood Mrs. Jones, well known in musi iznist, she once played Regardless of rumors circulated to the contrary we want to go on record in assuring the public that there is no intention whatsoever of abandoning rail service on the shore line route, or any other division of the North Shore Line, in the event punfis&:alisgmntedtheNathShmBmCunpanymoyerateminw-mmunity bus system serving all of the towns between Waukegan and Chicago. As a matter of fact the auxiliary bus service will actually result in an improvement in the rail service. Trains will be relieved of much short haul riding which will have the éffect of eliminating many local train stops, resulting in a faster service to passengers through shortening of the running time. . There will be no "tearing up of the tracks." Train service will not only remain but will steadily be improved. Bus transportation will be a "plus" service and act not only as an auxiliary but also as a feeder to the rail line at express stops. relieved of parking problems and delays in congested business districts. Records show that the ratio of buses involved in traffic accidents is far less than privately driven automobiles. Bus operators are carefully selected for their compeliled to pass frequent physical examinations not required of drivers of private cars. â€" Good transportation is an asset to any modern growing community. Without it, property values deteriorate and disappear. The north shore towns are part of a rapidly growing area and if their progress is to continue it is essential thatâ€"improved transportation be provided. The interâ€"community bus system to operate as an auxiliary to the North Shore Line‘s rail service will afford a daily travel service unequalled anywhere for frequency and convenience. It is vital for the continued wellâ€"being of the north shore cities, towns and villages. e - _ Busservice caneasily help to reduce street traffic congestion rather than adding to it. One bus can do the job of 30 automobiles (the average automobile carries 114 personsâ€"a modern bus of the type to be used seats 44 persons).

Later she helped form the Highland Park Musical Club, of which she is still honorary president. Although Mrs. Jones is no longer able to take part in civic affairs, she is keenly alert and interested course, as anything musical, which is very close to her heart. Al~ though she is not able to attend concerts, radio musical programs have been a source of much en joyment to her. Mrs. Jones‘ influence has been lasting through the years, and will continue to be a living thing. She has been a real inspiration to all who have ever come in contact with her. Many Highland Parkers tiught piano and music appreciaâ€" tion, feel she has contributed far more to their lives than just a musical education. whom two, Allan‘ D. and J. Rusâ€" sell Jones of Virginia, are at this time living with her. In the house next to Mrs. Jones on Vine avenue lives her son, George, R., with his wife and their daughter, Elizabeth. Other grandchildren are Thomas O. Jones and Mrs. Welden (Anâ€" nette Jones) Reynolds, who live in Washington and ‘Chicago, respec~ tively.
