The negro spirituals and plantation melodies which they will sing are repre- sentative of America's only group of folk songs and have inspired such com- as Dvorak's "New World Kroeger's '""T'en American phony," Chadwick's "Second Symphony" and other selections. These melodies, composed and sung in the southern cotton fields secretly, were first brought to public attention by the original Fisk Jubilee Singers in 1871, when they 'started out to enlist support for their school--then but five years old. Ameri- can audiences accorded them such a re- ception that they ventured a trip over- seas where the Old World gave them and their songs a tremendous ovation. Ever since then the Music depart- ment of Fisk university has carefully collected and recorded for posterity all the negro spirituals it could discover, and has sent on tour a trained group of singers to carry their simple message of hope and goodwill to audiences all over the country. GROCERY BUSINESS ENLARGES SERVICE Sam Salvadore di Francisco, pro- prietor of the Hubbard Woods Grocery and Market, is on the job again. The big "money-saving sales" he used to advertise in the columns of Winnetka Talk are to be resumed with renewed vigor, Mr. di Francisco announced this week when he entered into an agree- ment with the Talk for a campaign of consistent advertising on an ambitious scale. The Hubbard Woods Grocery and Market plans to spreads its business throughout the north shore. It has contracted for big advertising space in the three Hollister, Inc., publications-- Wilmette Life, Winnetka Talk and Glencoe News, and has instituted an auxiliary delivery service that will reach into the most remote corners of the township. Richards to Speak on Recent Church Council Since his talk to the Young People's club about the great National Council of Churches that he recently attended Springfield, Massachusetts, Rev. James A. Richards, pastor of the Win- netka Congregational church, has been asked to speak on the same subject from this pulpit, and he plans to do so Sun- day morning, November 18. He will speak again on some of the aspects of the Council discussed in his former talk and take up other matters for which there was not time that night. "If something of the high spirit of the Springfield meetings could get loose in this community it would. do wus all good," Mr. Richards declares. LEGION BULLETIN | . Winnetka Post No. 10 The Post Armistice Night at River- side Inn proved an unqualified suc- cess. Commander Lynch, in his in- augural address, gave a straight-from -the-shoulder talk, calling upon every member to put forth his best efforts to strengthen the post and enlarge the membership. The boys gave "Tommy" a big hand. At the regular meeting Tuesday night of this week, the Post declined the offer of the North Shore Players to give a benefit performance in Win- netka under auspices of the Legion. Members are urged to get to the Post meetings promptly at 7:30 o'clock in order that everybody may part- icipate in the snappy business meet- ing, so that the social program can begin at 8:30 sharp. The Post mailing list is being care- fully checked and revised where nec- essary to make certain that every member is getting his mail and the notice of Post Doings. A drive for new membership is in progress with 100 percent as the goal.
