WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1925 AID SOUTHWEST | MANY SUBJECTS RAISIN GROWERS North Shore Men Plan to Utilize By-Products Franklin deBeers, formerly of Glen- coe, who went to Fresno, Calif, a year ago to prepare plans for a rasin sy- rup plant to be built by the Sun-Maid Raisin Growers' association, will be in Fresno at least a year longer in charge of the chemical engineering work in connection with the building and operation of the plant, construc- tion on which will start immediately. The following article, clipped from a Fresno paper, indicates the size of the project. "Enormous returns to the growers on sub-standard raisins are forecast in an announcement by the Sun-Maid Raisin Growers' association yesterday of the immediate construction of a plant for the manufacture of raisin syrup and other by-products. "The announcement is the fulfilling of the statement made by Ralph P. Merritt, managing director of the as- sociation, during the course of his re- cent annual report to members, that the association was making plans for an increase in conversion methods. "The plant, to be erected at Hamil- ton and Ellis streets, directly east of Plant No. 4, will cost one hundred thousand dollars, and is to be com- pleted in June, so that marketing of the syrup can begin in July. "A ton of raisins will make ap- proximately 200 gallons of syrup. At 60 cents a gallon for the syrup, a ton of raisins, converted into syrup, will return to the association six cents a pound or $120 a ton gross. If, as in 1923, there are 40,000 tons of raisins to go into conversion, all in syrup, then the gross return on the syrup would be practically five million dol- lars. The operating expenses, it is stated in the announcement, will be kept at a minimum through the pro- duction of other by products, includ- Ing potassium acid tartrate, or crude cream of tartar, stock feeds, fertilizers and other things, the returns on which are expected to pay for much of the cost of operating the sugar unit." _ Another Glencoe man who is work- ng on this project is Carl S. Miner. He is head of the Miner laboratories of Chicago, which are in charge of all chemical research work on this pro- ject. "Changing World" to Be Further Class Discussion Mrs. Maurice H. Lieber spoke at the meeting of the Winnetka Sunday Eve- ning club last Sunday on the subject, "The Changing World." She touched on five of the most important elements in American life--the home, religion, in- dustry, politics and education--and dwelt upon the tremendous changes which have come about in the past 40 years. Her talk was so interesting and evoked such a lively discussion that the club has decided to continue study along those lines. _ Consequently, Mr. John Stahelin, who 1s the speaker for this Sunday, has based his talk on another phase of the same general subject. His topic is, "The Problem of the World's History," and will deal with changes in the world at large, as well as in America. Supper will be served as usual at 6:30 o'clock in the Camp Fire room of Community House. The Pitch-in Dinner club meets with Mr. and Mrs. Harold Hill, 801 Walden road, on Saturday night. FOR SERVICES Congregationalists Have a Busy Sunday At the Winnetka Congregational church this Sunday mornimg at 11 o'clock Rev. James Austin Richards will preach on, "The Nearer Summons." The organ music for the morning will be from Guilmant's Third Sonata, using the Ada- gio for the prelude, and the Allegro for the postlude. At the Junior service of worship, at the same hour, the sermon will be "A Glimpse of the Present Situation in Russia." The Church school meets at 9:30 o'clock, and has classes for all ages from the kindergarten up. The Men's class is to have an address by Dr. Edmund D. Soper to which it invites all above high school age. This meeting is held in the American Legion room of Community House. In the evening, at 6:45 o'clock, the Young People's club will have one of its free and interesting discussions. The subject is "What should be considered in choosing a life-work?"" John Roos is the leader; and there will be many points of view expressed, as so many of the young people are soon to leave high school for further study or business. Mr. Richards will give the sixth and last lecture in the series on the book of Genesis, at 8 o'clock. The Joseph stor- ies will be the subject. The Boys' choir will give the music preceding the lecture. They have been practicing under the direction of Allyn Smith, and will sing "Consider and Hear Me," by Fleuger. The processional will be the March from Mendelssohn's "Atha- lie," and the recessional hymn "Onward Christian Soldiers."

In the return game at Parker school, North Shore Country came out victor. Although the Winnetka boys earlier in the season had won a game from Parker by a large margin, they rather looked for a possible come- back from the Chicagoans in the return game, due to the smallness of Parker's gym. The game was slow, and checked by Parker's many fouls. Parker shot bas- kets frantically, no matter from what position on the floor, trying many long shots, while North Shore, keeping its usual form, depended more upon passing and team play. This morning will see a game with Milwaukee Country Day school, at Mil- waukee.
