WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1924 WED OPERA AND CHURCH SUNDAY North Shore Pastor Places Opera on Program Grand Opera and the Church will be formally united in marriage next Sunday evening at the Kogers Park Baptist church, Greenleaf and Hilldale avenue, the Rev. Herschel R. Griffin, pastor, officiating. Grand Opera selections will be sung by a member of the congregation, Miss Helen Freund, a young American who will make her debut this season with Chicago Civic Opera. There will be "community singing" and the Rev. Griffin will talk a few minutes on "The Heart of Melody." The church will be packed--this young clergyman, who served as a chaplain in the army always has a packed church at his Sunday evening concert-devotionals.. The: Rev. Grif- fin will only talk a few minutes. "When my congregation is full of the inspiration of good music, I don't talk it all out of them." And why this wedding of Grand Opera and the Church, this union that the pastor will celebrate not one but every Sunday evening? Sintple--be- cause good music is harmony, relig- ion is harmony and things equal to the same thing are equal to each other. The background of fact leading up to this new concept that grand opera and devotions have much in common, much that should be emphasized, is a satisfying tale. Tt goes back seven years to the first few weeks of war time, to a time when the Rev. Griffin, not then ordained, decided that his convictions were with the service and off he went to the recruiting office. Soon he had a commision as a chap- lain. He was on the west coast, in Los Angeles, and the nights were crowded with temptations for young men just getting their first feel of khaki. Chaplain Griffin wished to keep his boys somewhere in line, he wished to build morals and he thought music potent. So he went to see Mme. Nellie Melba ,that grand old campaigner in opera then in Southern California. He told her of his problem, what he hoped to accomplish. He saw great assemblies of soldiers listening atten- tively to great artists in evening con- certs, craving good music instead of a carouse at some Barbary coast. From the depths of a full life and her rich experience, Melba remarked, "Do you konw the answer to all relig- ious interpretation is music?" Griffin did not--then--but he had vaguely sensed some such idea. Anyway, it grew and unfolded in his conscious- ness. He began to develop it when he went overseas, which was soon afterwards, and when he worked with the army in France. He began to think, "To live in Hell is to be a moral failure. One of the first steps a moral failure takes is to lose a desire for the finer things of life, for the beauty of the arts, for the inspiration and ennobling qualities of music." ENOUGH TO CAGE THE WORLD There is enough telephone wire in the United States to make a net that would hold the world like an egg in an egg-cup. Besides putting one span around the equator, this net would consist of 6,584 strands, joined at the North and South Poles and spreading gradually until they were slightly less than four miles apart at the equator. attend the school this William Reichman will Chicago University Law year. Chevrolet Has Cheapest Coach on Auto Market The Chevrolet Motor company an- nounces a new model to its line--the Chevrolet coach, which will be the lowest priced coach on the market. This Chevrolet coach, however, differs from most of the coaches on the market in that the rear panels are steel clear to the top, like the other Chevrolet closed models, and is finished in black with gold stripe-- the same as the Chevrolet sedan. The door on each side is excep- tionally large allowing for easy en- trance and exit, while the wide wind- ows, two on each side, afford an ex- treme range of vision during all sea- sons and refreshing ventilation in warm weather. The rear quarter windows are the same width as the door windows. The interior of the coach is large and roomy, with the driver's seat stationary and a folding seat to the right of the driver. Tlie rear seat across the back has ample room for three. The seats and cushions are uphol- stered in striped taupe wool cloth, while the sides, doors and head-lining are in mottled taupe of the. same material. There is a floor carpet to match. Door windows, as well as side wind- ows are raised and lowered by Tern- stedt window regulators. There is a dome light in the car. The rear win- dow in the car is wide and deep and is equipped with a satin curtain. A metal sun visor comes as standard equipment. Add Facilities to Aid Supply of Gas Service At the Public Service company gas station at Niles, west of Evanston, a new condensor and a new shaving scrubber are in operation, contributing their part to the plans of providing for the increased demands on the plant. These additional machines will materially help the operating prob- lems created by the demand, it is explained. Niles station, one of the most im- portant gas manufacturing plants in the company's system, supplies a large territory extending to Evanston and Wilmette and to the towns north of Park Ridge to Wauconda. Here are many towns, practically all of them growing rapidly as more and more people go from Chicago to suburban homes. Gas starts from Niles, through the main to Park Ridge and north under 35-pound pressure, the neces- sary reduction being made by friction in the line and by withdrawals of the fluid as it goes into use. Pressure in the Evanston line being much shorter is, of course, much below that in the northwestern line. JOINS MUSIC FACULTY Miss Winnifred Mickey, daughter of Magistrate D. M. Mickey, of Wil- mette, has been added to the New Trier Township high school music depart- ment teaching staff, according to Mrs. H. E. Cotton, head of the department. Miss Mickey is a New Trier graduate. FOR SALE GRAVEL PIT RUN $1.50 per yd.

GRIDDERS TRI LAKE VIEW Show Encouraging Form in 12 to 0 Victory New Trier high school's football team showed encouraging. improve: ment in its game Tuesday against Lake View high school, by: winning 12 to 0. There are still some rough spots in the squad that the coaching staff is working on, in preparation for the game Saturday afternoon with La Grange high school at La Grange. There were no outstanding stars in the game with Lake View. The team play was consistent, but occasionally some of the players were lost in the scrimmages. Several reserve men were given a chance in the game and showed up well. Athletic Director "Duke" Childs is playing safe with his squad this year and is keeping a reserve squad that will fill any holes left by possible in- juries, such as seriously crippled the New Trier team last year. In addi- tion to the regular practice periods, in which the entire squad takes part, games are being arranged for a sec- ond team. In that way the men who are not in the line-up in the regu- larly scheduled games will have an opportunity to keep in shape for reg- ular games, if they are needed. Play- ers are also developed for teams in the future so that graduation of a number of regulars will "not seriously affect the teams. The probable New Trier line-up for the LaGrange game will be: center. Hulbert, (captain); right guard, Bur- rill; right tackle, Roberts; right end. Phil Brown or Lauer; left guard, Van Schaack; left tackle, Atwood; left end, Arnold; right half, Weld; left half, Neir; fullback, Pancoast; quarter, Martin. : GOOD BLACK DIRT At Reasonable Price.
