Meet to Discuss Zoning of Newly Annexed Land Resident of the Indian Hill section of the village will hold a meeting at the Village hall next Wednesday evening, April 21, to determine the sentiment in regard to the proposed zoning ordi- nance for the newly annexed land. The Zoning commission made a recommen- dation to the Village council but this has not been finally passed on, because council members were not certain that it met the desires of the resi- dents of the district. There has been considerable interest in the pro- posal to convert a strip of land between the new through highway and the rail- road to park purposes. The cost of this land would have to be paid by spe- cial assessment, it is said. A large at- tendance is expected at the meeting which will be in charge of H. L. Raclin, a member of the Indian Hill Improve- ment association and of the Village council. RECOVERS FROM ILLNESS William Eckart, of the Eckart Hard- ware company, who has been ill for some time, but who is improving rapid- ly, went up to Star Lake in Northern Wisconsin last week where he expects to remain until May 1. ASK Any Radio Engineer What the Wheatstone bridge in- troduced into each stage of radio frequency means in the way of perfect tone and clear, un- distorted sound? And ask him, too, about the greater volume and higher de- gree of selectivity such a device creates in a set. These desired radio ideas are incorpo- rated in the RFL75 5 TURES Made This remarkable set is the direct result of eminent research at Powel Crosley's demand for the BEST tuned radio-frequency set possible. Keen engineering and mass production make it possible at this low prige.

Kinney returned last week from a six months' visit in Fairhope, Ala., where he has been in charge of the shops in the experimental school directed by Marietta Johnson. Accom- panying Mr. Kinney were two boys, fifteen years old, neither of whom had ever before seen snow. When snow was first sighted about a hundred miles south of Chicago the delight of the boys became so keen the party had to halt for an hour and let the boys roll around and pelt each other with snow. The trip from South Alabama was made in autos, the party coming over the Dixie highway, which Mr. Kinney reports in good shape almost all the way through to Montgomery. Until the camp season opens in July Mr. Kinney will divide his time between Winnetka and Adventure Island, where he is carrying on an extensive develop- ment program. The island, which Mr. Kinney purchased two years ago, ranks as one of the beauty spots of the Green Bay region, and in order that he may work out a comprehensive plan of de- velopment covering a period of years Mr. Kinney secured the services of a landscape artist and of a trained gar- dener, so that all permanent improve- ments and changes made on the island will enhance its natural beauty. Since its establishment on the new island, Adventure Island camp is be- coming widely known among progres- | sive educators, inquiries and applica- tions for the present season having been received from as far east as Con- necticut and south west to Texas.
