Paul Whiteman Signs to Record for Columbia Announcement, by Carleton Kau- meyer of the Chickering Studios at 527 Davis street, and the Wilmette music shop, of Paul Whitman's exclusive contract with Columbia for a long term of years, is considered the leading news of the phonograph sea- son. This is because Paul Whiteman is the innovator of what is known to the world as American jazz, and its foremost interpreter, as well as a man of more than dance fame, known as a leader in adaptations of modern symphonic music. He is internation- ally, without doubt, the most cele- brated figure in contemporary Ameri- can music. Whiteman believes in jazz, from the ground up, as a thing of beauty when properly treated. It expresses, he thinks, a very definite and character- istic American philosophy, in part made up of the need for rhythmic variety in a machine age. On Thursday, June 28 Pardee Beardslee and Ted Bersbach, who have just graduated from North Shore Country Day school, left Winnetka for an eight weeks' motor and camping trip to the Pacific coast. They will take with them Bob Sellery of High- land Park and George Manierre of Milwaukee. --_--0-- Illinois has 2,629 rural post offices and 71,033 miles of rural postal delivery routes.

A group of north shore girls will leave Saturday, June 30, for Camp Newakwa, Ward, Colo., a place of outing already known to many north shore residents. The campers are Emily Darst, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel H. Darst of Wilmette; Kathryn Benson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George R. Benson of Kenilworth; Elizabeth Ketcham, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Craig Ketcham of Kenilworth; Janice Fisher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin G. Fisher of Winnetka; Mar- garet McKinney, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William A. McKinney of Hub- bard Woods; Jane Wilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ira J. Wilson of Win- netka; Rubie Battey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul L. Battey of Glencoe; and Ann Louise and Jane Hankins, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Edward R. Hankins of Glencoe. The counselors are to be Miss Annie Laurie Walls of Chicago, counselor of dramatics; Miss Florence Scribner of Evanston, counselor of arts and crafts; Miss Jane Olson of Chicago, of swim- ming; Miss Virginia Martin of Ev- anston, of music. Camp Newaka, lying at an altitude of 8,600 feet, is situated on Gold Lake in the midst of the Rocky mountains, twenty-seven miles northwest of Boul- der and thirty-five miles south of Estes Park. The top range of the mountains of the Continental Divide is only fif- teen miles west of camp. Long's Peak, Mt. Audubon, Sawtooth, the Araphoes, and other peaks, stand out in magnifi- cent panorama, their summits capped with snow during the entire summer. Horseback riding is the favorite and special sport at Camp Newaka. The girls ride every day along trails through the mountains in the vicinity of camp. Later in the summer they take a long, several days' trip up over the Continental Divide to Bear Lake, west of Estes Park. On this trip they pass Long's peak Inn and the shadow of the peak itself. They carry their food and blankets with them on their horses and thus have a real out-door camping experience. Other sports the girls enjoy at the camp are swimming. basketball, base- ball, tennis, canoeing, hiking, archery, and work in dramatics and arts and crafts. One of the favorite hiking trips is up to Isabelle Glacier, which is one of the four living glaciers in that region. The girls climb up to Isabelle Lake, which lies at an altitude of 12,000 feet, and then go on up Isabelle Peak several thousand feet to the glacier. A snowball fight in July or August is a common occurrence on such a trip. During the summer automobile trips are taken to Estes Park and to Chey- enne, Wyo., to witness the Frontier Rodeo days. The camp season is from July 2 to August 27. Mrs. Merle B. Waltz and Miss Emelyn Waltz of Glencoe, who own and direct Camp Newaka, have been in Colorado opening the camp for this season. With them are Jane Bell Waltz, horseback riding counselor, and Miss Charlotte Waltz. OBSERVE SILVER WEDDING Mr. and Mrs. George Burkhard, 544 Temple court, Kenilworth, celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary Wednesday evening, June 20, by enter- taining fifty of their friends at dinner in their home. The Burkhards are to celebrate even further by starting on a "silver" honeymoon to Niagara Falls July 15. Mrs. C. P. Hanly, 752 Lincoln ave- nue, returned on Sunday, June 24, from Kansas City, where she had been visiting Mrs. Henry B. Shea.
