SEAR de coi ET Rial BG 10 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 1920 "LET'S BE FAIR" SAYS PHONE USER Holds Cost of Telephone To Sub- scriber Has Nct Increased in Pro- portion to Value of the Inven- tion By O. J. H. How few of us in these days of hustle and bustle stop long enough to give a passing thought to that man who, never daunted by failure, persisted until he had made speech over wire, through the air, possible. Contrast that period in our social and business development with con- ditions today and give a passing thought to the men and women who have and are now devoting their time and energy to fully develop this wonderfully useful and labor saving invention. : In the old days solicitors were sent to cities and towns almost begging people to take a telephone in their place of business or residence, often meeting with rebuffs. Why thls change? Today the telephone is almost as essential to the business man as the goods on his sliell. Again why? Change Through Education The answer is--Education in mod- ern methods, and now realizing its value has the cost to the patrons in- creased in proportion to its value? In the old days only a few were farsighted enough to see its value. Today not only the people in cities and towns know its value, but the farmer as well is within speaking range of our voice, and it is well to realize that each new subscriber has made each other's telephone more valuable, but again, has the cost to the subscriber increased in propor- tion to its value? Let's admit with the high cost of labor and material that it has not. And let's be fair, let's help the Telephone company get an increase in rates to meet these] present costs. Let's be fair. Ravinia Park Season To Open on June 26 Scarpia in Opening Per- to Appear as the Papi Directs Scotti "Tosca" at formance; Ravinia Grand Opera season will open June 26 with Scotti in "Tosca". Mr. Scotti will be at Ravinia prac- tically the entire season. Other art- ists include Hackett of the Met- ropolitan Opera Company, de Angelo, Edith Mason, Florence Easton and a Spanish coloratura. Both Mr. Hagemann and Mr. Papi will be at Ravinia, as directors the entire season. Ravinia prides itself in laying the foundation for musical culture among the youth of the north shore and Thursday afternoons the doors are thrown open free to the children, rich and poor alike, which makes the cause worth time and effort. It is nationally and internationally recog- nized as a musical center of the greatest artistic success. It is hoped everyone will look on this as a civic responsibility and support the cause.
