May 12, 1928 WINNETKA TALK SEEK EMPLOYMENT FOR NEW TRIER STUDENTS Employment Department Calls Upon Residents to Utilize Student Service (Official High School News) New Trier High school is attempting to render a new service both to the public and student body, in the form of a student employment department. The aim of this department is to find employment for those boys desiring work while attending high school so that they may earn part of their school expenses or earn "spending" money. Some boys would be unable to attend school if it were not for the money they are able to earn during their spare time, and it is this group that the department desires to help first of all. However, there are two other groups of boys needing employment. Namely, the group of boys desiring a summer position to help out college expenses, and a group who having completed their high school course, are not planning on a college career but . desire permanent employment. This latter group, though small, is quite deserving of good positions with employers and business men of the community. : Spring Brings Jobs Now that spring is here there should be a good many residents who might need a boy to do general yard work, window washing, occasional chauffer- ing, or other odd work about the home. The school will appreciate it if local merchants or residents needing a boy for part time work, full summer em- ployment or steady employment, will telephone the Student Employment de- partment and tell their needs. They will not only be getting free service for themselves but will be helping high school students. Have Wage Scale The scale of wages for employed students varies from 30 cents per hour as a minimum to a reasonable rate for the kind of work being done. Call Winnetka 2400, and ask for O A. Oaks, director of student employ- ment, New Trier High school.

Claudia Muzio to Open Music Club Recital Program The Winnetka Music club is pre- senting the following artists for the 1928-9 season: Claudio Muzio, beloved soprano of three continents, and prima donna of the Chicago Civic Opera company. Vladimir Horowitz, the young Rus- sian pianist, whom the club is most fortunate to secure. One of the critics says of his performance of the Rachmaninoff piano concerto, number III in D minor, "The audience was transformed into a milling, enthusias- tic mob after Horowitz had finished his electric, vital performance and not less demonstrative were the mem- bers of the orchestra in showing their approval." Albert Spaulding, famous violinist, is being repeated. He is so well known on our north shore that nothing more need be said. Andres Segovia, who is new to the Middle West. He is the great Span- ish guitarist, the sensation of the past musical season, twenty-five engage- ments in five weeks, and six sold-out New York recitals. He stands in re- lation to the instrument of his choice as Casals does to the violin-cello, or Kreisler to the violin. John Charles Thomas, eminent bari- tone, who will complete the course. In Europe Mr. Thomas is the leading bari- tone of the Royal Opera at Brus- sels, while in the U. S. his recitals have gained him a wide vogue. He has taken a leave of absence from his engagement in Brussels, and will devote his entire season, 1928-9, to the concert stage. Garden Club Makes Plans for Annual Mart May 26 The members of the Winnetka Gar- den club are very busy these days planning the many features of the an- nual May Garden Market which will be held Saturday, May 26, on the Vil- lage Green. The market is sponsored by the Garden club but in reality is a civic as well as social affair for all proceeds are expended by the club for beautifying some public spot in Winnetka. This past year a great deal has been done in beautifying the grounds of the public library. A more detailed announcement of the features of the day for this year will be made rext week but it may be said that there will be, as usual, the lovely display of annuals and perennials, most of which are grown by members of the club and are of- fered for sale; also, a display of tulips so that one may order a supply of bulbs for next year. Several of the near-by florists will have displays and many of the smaller garden tools and supplies will be shown. Christ Church Choir to Present Concert May 25 Friday evening, May 25, the Christ church choir will give a concert at the Winnetka Woman's club at 8 o'clock. After the concert, from 9 until 12, there will be dancing, music for which will be furnished by Wil- liam Graf's orchestra with Mr. Graf personally conducting. Refreshments will be served. ? The proceeds will be divided be- tween the boys' summer camp fund and choir expense, such as vestment repair and renewal. A cordial invita- tion is extended to the entire com- munity. Dress will be informal. Tickets may be purchased from any of the boys of the choir or at the Duncan studio on Elm street. HELP THE CLEAN-UP! All Householders and Business Folk Urged to Co-operate in Current Season of Rubbish Removal The period from April 30 to May 25 having been designated by the Village as "Clean-up month," the Pub- lic Works department has been busy during the past week in removing large quantities of rubbish from the parkways in all sections, and as a re- sult, the appearance of Winnetka has been greatly improved. The second half of the period will afford added opportunity for all house- holders who were unable. to. get the rubbish out on the first dates covered by the schedule, to avail themselves of this service. It is requested that rubbish be placed on the parkways in the eve- ning before the day scheduled for collection, or at least early in the morning, as the collectors must neces- sarily start their work early on the first part of the day's route. While a great improvement has re- sulted in the appearance of occupied property, there are many vacant lots about the village, usually owned by non-residents, where rubbish still exists and which greatly detract from the good appearance of adjacent prop- erty. : It is suggested by the Village 'authorities that neighboring house- holders co-operate in cleaning up these vacant lots, as the Village has no authority to use public funds for that purpose. A special appeal is made to -pro- prietors of business establishments to clean up their properties, particularly the rear. If such rubbish is collected and placed in a pile at the alley, or some other convenient place, the vil- lage will haul it away free of charge. It is hoped by the Village that the business men will co-operate to make the business districts as orderly as the residential areas. A good example of co-operation was the recent clean-up handled by the Boy Scouts of Winnetka, who covered the entire village and picked up all papers on occupied and vacant prop- erty. This was a good example to all. P.T. A. in Annual Meeting at Horace Mann on May 14 The annual meeting of the Parent- Teacher association of the Winnetka Public schools will be held at the Horace Mann school at 3 o'clock Mon- day afternoon, May 14. A brief business meeting and elec- tion of officers for the coming year will be followed by a program of mu- sic given by the children of the lower schools, with their band and Glee club. Tea will be served following the pro- gram. The nominating committee has se- lected the following ticket: President, Mrs. Robert Brown; first vice-presi- dent, Mrs. George Lee; second vice- president, Mrs. William Jones Smith; secretary, Mrs. Arthur Bryson; treas- urer, Mrs. Maynard Riley. Opens Music Store on Lincoln Avenue A place wherein the Winnetkan, who is loyal to his town and the shops in it, may buy anything musical from ukelele picks to grand pianos is the designation given to the shop which is opening today at 569 Lincoln avenue and which is to be known as the Mil- roy Music Company. J. L. Heltebrake, who is opening the shop, has made it a complete and modern music store. He is a professional musician, experi- enced in all lines, and has had 20 years' experience in the music busi- ness. WINNETKA MUSIC CLUB OBSERVES GUEST NIGHT Musicale Features Program at Which Husbands of Mem- bers are Honored Guests By Critic 4 The annual guest night of the:Win- netka Music club, held Monday eve- ning, May 7, proved to be an attrac- tive and enjoyable occasion. This is the only meeting of the year to' which the husbands of members are invited, and evidently most of them appeared, having heard of the many delightful programs put on by talented members of the club. i The Alpha Xi Delta. sorority house in Evanston created a.charming and intimate atmosphere for the musicale arranged, and the utmost friendliness and comradeship prevailed. 4 Although the Winnetka. Musi¢ club is organized for the purpose of stim- ulating a greater interest in music and cultivating the musical taste both of its members and of the community, the club has remained simple in its organization. Many of the members are very well known in the musical world, and some merely express a deep interest in music, yet all work in the greatest harmony to establish and cherish the highest musical ideals. Hear "Jazz Phantom" The program last Monday evening opened with something wunusual--a "Jazz Phantom" composition by Floy Little Bartlett, executed by Valona Brewer, violinist, with Mrs. Bartlett as her accompanist. It was a persua- sive bit of jazz with intriguing rhythm, performed with skill by both the com- poser and Mrs. Brewer. Kreisler's "Frasquita," which followed, was win- somely played by Mrs. Brewer, and in German's "Torch Dance," she caught the spirit and color. In these two numbers she was accompanied artistically by Nina Babcock Bailey. Norma Bosworth, dramatic soprano, gave a group of songs, accompanied (Contiluad on Page 8) Chief Peterson Wins New Trophy in Marksmanship Chief W. M. (the "M" stands for marksman) Peterson, of the Winnetka Police department, again 'brought home the bacon" from the latest meet 5 the Winnetka Rifle and Revolver club. The shoot was held at Fort Sheridan last Sunday, when about fifteen at- tended to contest for the trophy, a 45-70 Springfield rifle of the type used in Indian fighting and also in the Spanish-American war, and which was posted by J. M. Dickinson, Jr., presi- dent of the club. The gun now occupies a prominent place in the collection of the Chief's fire-arms at his office in the Village hall. He "copped" it with a score of 49 out of a possible 50, but had close competition in the person of K. S. Beall, secretary of the club. Shooting at 200 yards, in the first round, the chief and Beall tied at 47. In the second, they again tied, at 45; in the third the tie was at 46; and in the fourth, each scored 45. In the fifth, however, Chief Peterson plunked 49 out of a possible 50, but Beall was right after him with 46. The club is planning another shoot sometime during the summer, but the big annual event comes in autumn, when the Rifle club trophy, won last year by Chief Peterson, is again the coveted stake. This trophy also is posted by President Dickinson. Mr. Beall won it the first year and at the second annual shoot, after its posting, it went to the present holder, Chief Peterson.
