WINNETKA TALK January 21, 1928 Wilmette Man Sponsors Permanent Riley Memorial Park g towar "LOCKERBIE STREET" By James WwuircomB Riley Such a dear little street it is, nestled away From the noise of the city and heat of the day, : In cool shady coverts of whispering trees, With their leaves lifted up to shake hands with the breeze Which in all its wide wanderings never may meet ¢ With a resting-place fairer than Lock- erbie Street! Hoyt King, 711 Forest avenue, Wil- mette, a native of Indianapolis, and thus "a Hoosier in exile," has aroused keen interest in the Indiana capital with his proposal that that city create a small children's park on Lockerbie street, the romantic little two-block thoroughfare where James Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosier poet, lived and worked. It is Mr. King's hope that a memorial park be created around the old Riley home. In a letter directed to William For- tune, a member of the Riley Memorial association, Mr. King writes: "This is the picture (reference to poem) the admirers and lovers of Riley and his works have in mind when they journey from all places in the world to visit the home where he lived, worked and died. "On Dec. 26 I found Lockerbie street and for the first time visited the home. Falling in Decay "I know his home people love and revere Riley. But to the stranger this belief is sadly shattered by the neglect and decay permitted to come to the movement to create a park of this glory that was Lockerbie's. "Is it not possible to revive the small congested district and make it one of the city's attractions to visitors, preserving with the home, the street as it is and restoring the trees and foliage and lawns? "A public that will give $7,000,000 to a world war memorial surely would be glad to have its leading citizens start and carry through a movement to convert into a park a place so note- worthy. "This section is now neither resi- poet s home, the Brick House on Lockerbie street. Dawn of 35th Y ear on Platform Doesn't Worry Burton Holmes In this day of mad adoration of youth, it is a bit nipping to have one of our foremost entertainers come along and say cheerfully that it is his thirty-fifth year on the lecture plat- form. But Burton Holmes, of "Travel Revue" fame and Chicago parentage, can do so with good grace on two counts. He was a stripling with a voracious gusto for photography when he first showed his travel pictures on the screen at Mrs. Potter Palmer's parties and that gracious lady ad- vised him to give up his amateur ef- forts and to follow in the footsteps of John Stoddard. Rather a long time ago, but not long enough to make him a patriarch. On the second count, Holmes is still the ideal of the in- defatigable type--slim, brisk of man- ner, clear of voice. Burton Holmes is soon to return to Chicago for a new series of his pic- tured travel revues. Beginning Febr- vary 15 at Orchestra Hall, three ap- pearances will be made each week dur- ing a season of five weeks. The first topic in the course will be "Happy dential nor commercial. But a few vears will give it a substantial value as commercial property. If it is to be ac- quired, now is the time for action. "I should be glad to contribute to the cost of preliminary organization work for such an accomplishment. "Our Wilmette Chamber of Commerce makes it a point to create places of interest in our community. Our civic committee, of which I am chairman, caused our village board to give the name Lockerbie street to a short one- block street in Wilmette, The street throughout its length is bordered with hawthorne and wild crab trees and wanders through a grove of oak, elm, maple, ash, walnut, butternut, wild cherry and linden. The local paper re- fers to it as 'a bit of Hoosierland.""

Here will be mirrored for his followers, visions of this Para- dise of the Pacific,--her wealth-giving sugar and pineapple lands, the luxury of Honolulu, the = surfing joys of Waikiki and the savage glory of vol- canic outbursts. This will be followed by "The Glories' of "Paris = "The Frivolities of Paris," "Vienna and the Austrian Alps" and "The Heart of Italy,"--all joyously illustrated with color views and motion pictures made by the lecturer himself. Moody Institute Leader To Speak Here Tomorrow "Broadcasting the Gospel in Print" is the theme of a lecture to be given by the Rev. Norman H. Camp from the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago in the First Scandinavian Evangelical church, 886 Elm street, Winnetka, at 5 o'clock this Sunday afternoon. Mr. Camp is one of the directors of the Bible Institute Colportage associa- tion, founded by Dwight L.

Carpenter of 411 Linden ave- nue, Winnetka, was removed to the Presbyterian hospital, Chicago, Tues- day morning.
