8 WINNETKA TALK January 14, 1928 A State Bank Why Not Save on the Installment Plan? CONOMISTS are sometimes overwhelmed by the amount of installment buying, predicting ill consequences to this constant mortgaging of future incomes. If it is easy to buy necessities and luxuries by this method, then it should be equally simple to plan for "buying" income on installments. In other words, why not provide for budget- ing a substantial amount to be banked each week? : Future independence and prosperity is the wisest purchase you can make. You can acquire it "on easy installments' --regular Deposits on a Savings Account in this Bank. Banking Hours: § to 3; Saturdays 8 to 12:30 Monday Evenings 7 to 8 ~ WINNETKA TRUST and SAVINGS BANK Association Asks Contributions for Hubbard Woods Rink With only a little more than half of the amount estimated to be neces- sary for the maintainance of the Hub- bard Woods skating rink raised and with the lack of favorable weather for the freezing of the pond causing a temporary slump in interest in the project, the rink committee of the Hubbard Woods Improvement associa- tion found it necessary this week to broadcast a second appeal to residents of the district for financial aid. This appeal took the form of a letter in which attention was again called to the fact that the association has taken over the management of the rink in order to assure its perman- ence, and that if this idea is to be achieved the financial support of the residents is necessary. The association, the letter pointed out, does not have any source of in- come other than subscriptions or mem- berships in the rink. All money so received is kept in a rink fund and expended only for that work. It is felt certain, the letter continued, that everyone in the district is in favor of the project and that all feel that it would be a decided loss to the community to have the rink closed. As the problem is merely a financial one the people of the district are asked to fill in a blank indicating the type of membership in the rink desired. There are three classes of these: fam- ily memberships for which a fee of $5 is paid; regular memberships for which a fee of $5 is contributed and junior membership with a fee of $2. Sub- scriptions to the fund may be in any amount from $5 to $50. Checks should be made payable to the association and mailed to the treasurer, George H. Miller, at 1133 Scott avenue, Hubbard Woods. The rink has been placed in excel- lent condition and merely awaits weath- er cold enough to permit {freezing over. The shelter is also ready and the entire project has been placed un- der the supervision of Henry Carpen- ter who has already formulated plans for regular skating contests and a hockey team.

Critic in Sweeping Praise of Great Artistry of Joseph Szigeti in Re- cital Last Monday By Rutheda L. Pretzel Joseph Szigeti's performance last Monday evening at New Trier High school was one that will stand out in the memories of patrons of the Win- netka Music club Artist-Recitals for many years. This artist has something more than a thorough command of the technique of a violin, musical feeling and musical intelligence. He has the highest conception of what music may mean, a quality that is spiritual and infinitely beautiful. Flawless tech- nique, he has, and he brings out a tone that is supremely pure, exquisite to the last degree. A great artist! Richness, Dignity of Color In Corelli's much loved "La Folia," all the richness and dignity of line and color were brought out, and in Bach's G Minor sonata Mr. Szigeti did mar- velous things with his fingers and his bow. In the most difficult passages imaginable he rounded off the tones. How he could do it seems beyond human ken. All movements were so carefully balanced and full of endur- ing strength. Yet it seemed the aud- ience was deplorably cold in their ap- plause, according this master of the violin less tribute than they have given to greatly inferior artists. Even grant- ing the fact that three quarters of the audience may not have understood Corelli or Bach, still they must have realized the remarkable feats accom- plished by Mr. Szigeti. Bloch's "Baal Shem" held the pas- sion and tragic note of the composer's Hebrew soul. This, as well as the melodious and charming "Sicilienne and Rigaudon," by Francoeur-Kreisler. was more to the audience's taste and was roundly applauded. Paganini's "Caprice in E," for violin alone again showed Szigeti's astounding skill in technique and in feeling. In it he played double harmonics, and so per- fectly that it actually sounded like a flute. Plays Ravel's Sonata Ravel's newest Sonata, published last year, followed. The peculiar, pungent tang of Ravel's humor in this daring bit of syncopation tickled the musical palates of the audience. As an ultra- modern, Ravel's works are intricate and demand cool, keen thinking out and much humor in playing. Szigeti more than did it justice. He is to play the Sonata for M. Ravel when that composer arrives in America the mid- dle of this month. Hubay's brilliant "Scene de la Csarda" closed Mr. Szigeti's program with a whirl of sparkle and color. Two encores were given during the evening, both on the same high plane as the regular numbers, The Home and Garden club will meet at the home of its president, Mrs. Henry Taylor, Essex road, Kenil- worth, Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock. This will be the annual meeting and will consist of business and the elec- tion of new officers. The members of the club are invited for luncheon.
