He appeared in London, Brussells, Prague, Paris and many other European music centers and famous watering resorts. Everywhere his playing aroused the greatest enthusiasm. Quoting from one of the most re- cent European notices: "Milan Lusk is one of the fortunate violinists whose art easily and quickly captures the recognition of the musical world. His playing excels in all the attributes which constitute a virtuoso player: A spontaneous interpretation, a finished and fleet manner of execu- tion, and a lovely tone." Milan Lusk will teach a limited num- ber of talented violin students at his home studio in Wilmette. Arrange- ments are now being made and those interested have been requested to ap- ply at an early date.

DeBerard, Regional Plan- ning Association Engineer, Addresses Rotarians "I have consistently employed my influence to hasten the construction of Wilmette"s portion of the new through traffic highway that will traverse what is now Main street," W. W. DeBerard, onsulting engineer of the Chicago Regional Planning association and Wilmette Village trustee told members of the Rotary club at its luncheon Wednesday of this week. "Wilmette must come to the realiza- tion that it is concerned with traffic oming from outside the village, as well as with its local traffic problems," Mr. DeBerard declared, in pointing out the fact that improvement of high- ays to the south of the village, in- cluding the new McCormick boule- vard, Western avenue in Chicago, and Asbury avenue in Evanston will pour an ever increasing traffic into the vil- lage which must pass over Sheridan road, Main street or Ridge avenue. Just now, he explained, Main street is the logical artery to the north and should be widened and improved with- out undue delay. Condemnation Stalls Project Mr. DeBerard explained that the entire project of the widening and pav- ing of Main street was being held back by condemnation proceedings concerned with a small parcel of land at the north limits of the village He stated, how- ever, that contract for the improve- ment should be let next spring. Win- netka, he explained, has already let contract for a large portion of its sec- tion of the proposed through highway flanking the Chicago and North West- ern railroad on the west. The speaker, using maps especially prepared by the engineers of Regional Planning association, outlined to the Rotarians the comprehensive plan of the association for a network of high- ways that will some day provide broad parallel along every section line in the Greater Chicago area, or within a ra- dius of fifty miles from the metropolis. Today, he declared, only thirteen highways lead directly into Chicago from the suburban area It is the im- mediate task of the associattion to se- cure the co-operation of the numerous governing bodies in the territory in straightening out kinks, jogs and right angle turns to provide many more de- rect routes into the city A railroad, he said, cannot operate with bridges and culverts washed out here and there, or loose rails in other places, and, by the same token, a highway is no highway at all if it is not improved and made aggessible to traffic through- out its length. Mr. DeBerard emphasized the fact that the Planning association has no powers, but exists simply for the pur- pose of offering suggestions to the governing bodies in the Greater Chi- cago area. Already, he asserted, the association has been successful in se- curing the co-operation of many of these taxing bodies in carrying through much-needed improvement, especially in connection with the ex- tension of the highway plan. John Cogswell. son of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Cogswell, 512 Hawthorn lane, and Charles Howe, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles D. Howe, 240 Kenilworth ave- nue, Kenilworth, left this week on a two weeks' canoe trip. Mr. and Mrs. Cogswell drove them to Ft. Atkinson, where they will make their start. From there they plan to paddle to Dixon, Ill, on the Rocky river, camping as they go.
