wv May 1, 1926 WINNETKA TALK MANY GROUPS JOIN IN MUSIC WEEK PROGRAM Gathering at Community House Tomorrow Inaugurates Na- tional Music Week The concert at Community House Sunday evening, May 2, inaugurating the National Music Week, promises to be an unusually interesting occasion, judging from similar past occasion and from the program itself. Those who have had the good fortune to be pres- ent at one or more of the past annual concerts, beginning in 1922, will recall the ample and enthusiastic expression of community spirit, the wide differ- ences in creed, nationality, purpose, and training shown by the participat- ing groups--yet all blended into one at these concerts. The groups who will participate are as follows: Congregational church adult choir; Czecho-Slovakian club; Harmonica club; North Shore Con- gregation; North Shore Country Day High school boys; North Shore Glee club; Scandinavian Pleasure club; Skokie school orchestra; Skokie school Girls' Glee club; the Troubadors. Miss Nina Fitch Babcock will be the pianist and Mrs. Burton H. Atwood the direc- tor. A few notes on the program which follows below may be interesting. Miss Leah Pratt, soloist for the North Shore congregation, is a well known Chicago contralto. The North Shore Glee club is often heard over the radio. The Czecho-Slovakians are to appear in what will prove both a surprise and a delight. Their flute soloist is a young woman well-known in musical circles and now doing much concert work on the road. This is the first public ap- pearance of the Harmonica club, an in- ter-school group doing valuable work under the direction of Miss Jean His- lop.

Goodwin Benediction Village Gets New Sweeper Winnetka's new motor-driven street sweeper, which was purchased re- cently, has been kept busy in. the annual spring clean-up of village stréets. The machine has proved very satisfactory, according to officials, and was used this week on Kenilworth streets, through an agreement between the villages. It is estimated that it will cost the village no more to clean the streets with the sweeper than by hand, as has been done in the past, and that a much better job can be done. It is planned to clean the streets 4n the business district every other day, and the residential streets at least' every two weeks. ELECT NEW DIRECTORS Orchestral New Trier Association Elects Homer Horton President for | 1926-27 Another successful season of Sym- | phony concerts passed into history, when Conductor George Dasch bowed his acknowledgements to the applause of the audience at the close of the last concert on April 6. At this last concert occured also, the annual meeting. when the following directors were elected: Wilmette--Mrs. Miles McMillen, H. B. Mulford, R. D. Burtner; Kenilworth-- Miss Helen Sears, Mrs. Anna B. Spach. Howard O. Edmonds; Winnetka-- Mrs. Roland Whitmen, Harry L. Street, Arthur W. Cushman: Glencoe-- Miss Helen Martin, Mrs. Dwight C. Orcutt and Mr. Homer Horton. At a later directors' meeting the fol- lowing officers were elected : president. Homer H. Horton; vice president, Mrs. Homer C. Cotton; secretary-treasurer, R. D. Burtner. . Tickets Available. Subscriptions for tickets for next year's concerts are now rapidly clos- ing. There remain, however, a number of vacancies which are available for those who act quickly. Tt is reported that many who have not subscribed heretofore, have hesitated to enter the waiting list, in the belief that it would result in a hopeless wait. This is not the case, as there are always some, who, through removal or other causes, --drop out each year. Through a re- cent interview, we are able to say that any who apply quickly may be practic- ally assured of tickets for next season. All applications should be addressed to R. D. Burtner, secretary, 1504 Monad- nock block, Chicago. Mr. Dasch and his players are now away on their annual tour. They will be heard in many cities from Memphis on the south to Rochester on the north. TN NEXT WEEK IN WINNETKA Monday, May 3 ; OPEN Tuesday, May 4 Motion Picture matinee--Commun- ity House, 4 p. m.

The proceeds goes in- to the Service fund of the American Legion. Marcus D. Richards is chair- man of the Winnetka Poppy Day com- mittee. GET THE MOSQUITO IS SLOGAN IN DRIVE HERE Village President Reappoints Board to Direct Work of Abatement in Winnetka Mosquito abatement in Winnetka this vear will be in the hands of the same committee and conducted along similar lines as last season, according to a notice and an appeal for funds which are being sent to householders of the village. Last vear, at the request of John S. Miller, president of the village board, a committee comprising Darrell S. Boyd, Ralph Hobart, E. C. Weissen- berg, Samuel A. Greely, Langdom Pearse, Carl Zeiss, Ayres Boal and H. C. Phillips solicited funds with which they employed an expert sanitary en- eineer and met the cost of a large amount of oiling and cleaning up the breeding places of mosquitoes in Win- netka and vicinity. This vear Mr. Miller has requested the committee to act again in the mat- ter, as owing to the very widespread area of shallow pools, waste water and moisture left by the melting snow, the season promises to be one exceeding- ly favorable for the breeding of mos- quitoes, and their early spread in great numbers: The committee, in turn asks all householders to' contribute a fund for the purpose of abating the mosquito nuisance during the coming spring and summer. The money, it is explained, will be expended solely for materials purchased through, and labor super- vised by, H. L. Woolhiser, _ village manager and such expert advice and inspection as may be required. The circular letter being sent out at this time by the committee, says that last year several inquiries were re- ceived as to what would be an appro- priate sum for each householder to give. The letters are being sent out with the village electric light bills, and in answering the foregoing question, suggests that if all the householders should contrihute an amount equal to at least one-fourt of their January electric light bill, the amout so raised would be sufficient. However, any con- tribution, it adds, either more or less than this amount, will be very welcome.
