Eminent sanitarians, engineers, pub- lic health authorities and represent- atives of federal and state govern- ments are expected to attend. The plant has attracted world-wide atten tion because of its magnitude, and the event is expected to bring scientific men from many distant places. Noted Men to Speak The actual starting of operations in this $32,000,000 unit on its 100-acre site will be visible to the thousands of spectators. Pres. T. J. Crowe and other sanitary trustees will officiate and there will be addresses by celebri- ties of the professional world and pub- lic life. Use of the Televox, or mechanical many is to be made in placing the gigantic plant in operation. This re- cent invention, a robot capable of obeying spoken commands, has been provided for the occasion by the Westinghouse Electric company. An outdoor platform is being erected at the plant, just north of the pump and blower house, which fronts on McCormick road, as the stage for the first portion ot the ceremony. Follow- ing the program of addresses, which will be radio broadcast over Westing- house Station KYW, President Crowe will officially place the plant in opera- tion. An inspection of the buildings and aeration tanks, in which the entire assemblage will join, will be followed by a buffet lunch, furnished by the contractors who built the plant. Public Is Invited Special auto parking facilities and other measures for the convenience of spectators have been taken. The public generally is invited to attend. En- gineers from the Sanitary district staff will act as guides. Return to Winnetka After Summer Away Mrs. Enos M.
