CANDY For Better Home Made Candies Northwestern Graduate Heads Jennings School Jennings Seminary at Aurora, the only Methodist school west of Phila- delphia for high school girls, is under- going a change of management this summer as Miss Bertha Barber, prin- cipal of the school for twenty-four years, has resigned and Miss Abbie Probasco has been appointed to take her place. Miss Probasco goes to Jennings from Idaho where for the last year she was executive secretary of Gooding college. From 1920 to 1925 she was a missionary under the Meth- odist church and had charge of Confer- ence Academy, a school for boys, at Nanking. Miss Probasco has a back- ground of experience as a high school principal and teacher. Her education was received at Upper Iowa and at Northwestern university and Garrett Biblical Institute where she received her Master's degree in 1927.

Wilmette Greenleaf 4300 Sheldrake 5687 Urge Tourists to Visit Borden Co., Model Dairy Plant By Tourist Some Saturday or Sunday--or, bet- ter still, some other day of the week-- take the family for a glorious drive to view the beauties of Lake Geneva and visit the internationally famous district where "selected" milk is produced and bottled, advises a tourist. This plant has been inspected and its methods studied by public officials from all parts of the United States and by the representatives of many foreign coun- tries. The best route at present is by the Northwest highway, and it is suggested that the return trip, for variety, be made via Antioch and Libertyville, and Milwaukee avenue. It is interesting as you begin to leave the north shore behind, to notice how far to the northwest the real estate developments have extended. Historic Landscape Soon you come into rolling couniry where every hilltop presents a view of great beauty. The Pottawatomie Indians had their grand lodge on the shore of Lake Geneva, and it was through these hills and valleys that they used to roam and hunt. Arrow heads and other relics are still picked up frequently in the fields of this his- toric section. All too soon you will reach the land of the estates on the shores of Lake Geneva. Turning east at Walworth and keeping straight ahead you drive past the beautiful Ceylon court of the Mitchell family and glimpse the quaint buildings moved piece by piece to this exquisite setting from the Chicago World's Fair. If you drive slowly and look back sharply, you can see the statue of Andy Gump at the entrance to Sidney Smith's estate. Plant Near Lake Geneva Right on Highway No. 12, nestling on a hill above the village of Lake Geneva, you find the "Selected" Milk bottling plant of the Borden company. At the side of the plant, a cozy, white reception cottage has been built fer the visitors, with all the facilities at hand for comfort. If you reach the plant before ten A. M. you will find the farmers bring- ing in their milk. The cans are covered with wet blankets in summer to keep the milk cool. No milk is accepted if the temperature is over 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The complete process of handling the milk and receptacles in this model plant may be viewed by the visitor in minutest detail. The visitor is also urged to inspect the model dairy farms nearby. Add Community Singing to Children's Concerts At the children's concert on Thurs- day afternoon, August 9, at Ravinia park, the second half of the program is to be devoted to community singing under the direction of H. Barnhart. The Ravinia players will present a play Thursday, August 16, entitled "The Sleeping Beauty," under the di- rection of Mildred Haessler. On Au- gust 23, the children will have another opportunity to see Ruth Page and the Ravinia ballet, and those who remem- ber the crowds when she appeared a few weeks ago will want to be on hand early. The last program will be on August 30, and will be announced later. Plans are being made to make this a special treat. Miss Mary and Miss Effie Fake of 905 Vernon avenue, Glencoe, left Wed- nesday for a trip to Yellowstone park and interesting places in Colorado. They will be gone several weeks.
