yr November 24, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 8 Would Use Glencoe Incinerator Plant for Winnetka Waste With the prospect that Glencoe will very soon begin construction of its garbage incinerator plant, the Village of Winnetka is looking forward to its completion in anticipation of an ar- rangement with the neighbor village to dispose of Winnetka garbage. At the meeting of the Winnetka Village council Tuesday evening Vill- age Manager H. IL. Woolhiser was informally authorized to take up with Village Manager George R. Young of Glencoe the possibility of making an arrangement of this nature. Garbage from Winnetka is now be- ing disposed of tothe. farmers west of town, who use the waste for fertil- izer and hog feed. The Village council, it is said, has realized for some time that this method of disposal is unsanitary and may cause serious objections at any time, now that the western territory is be- ing rapidly built up. The council also realizes, it is said, that disposal by incineration will add a considerable amount to the cost of garbage service, even after. crediting the saving which the village will make by being able to handle the collection of garbage with its own equipment in- stead of by contract, as at present. However, it is not probable that the rate for disposal service will have to be increased, since, the trustees point out the tax revenue from the garbage levy will just about cover the addi- tional cost of incineration. By such an arrangement as is pro- posed with Glencoe it will not be necessary for Winnetka to build a plant of its own, a project which would necessitate the expense of acquiring a site and cost of construction, not to mention the expense of a bond issue for that purpose. Calls Music Great Aid to Workers in Factory If music hath charms to soothe the savage breast, it also has the charm of caysing people employed in radio fac- tories to work with more zest than em- ployes of other industrial plants. So declares Gustave Frankel, vice- president and general manager of the All-American Mohawk Corporation, Chi- cago radio manufacturers, "By actual tests we have found that the more than 700 young men and girls in the All-American Mohawk plant in Chicago produce better work when stim- ulated by music coming in over the ra- dio," the All-American Mohawk official said. "It is a proven fact that under the influence of music people are inspired to put more vigor into their efforts." Office employes also perform better work listening to musical programs, Mr, Frankel pointed out. TO GIVE FAMILY DINNER Mr. and Mrs. Donald McPherson, 644 Pine street, will give a family dinner party on Thanksgiving. Mrs. McPher- son's mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick West, will be among the guests. Miss Fannie McPherson, who is attending Miss Hall's school in Pitts- field, Mass., will not return for Thanks- giving but is coming home on Decem- ber 14, for her Christmas vacation. Mr. and Mrs. Larson (Cornelia Keith) motored from Geneva, Ill. and spent Sunday with Mrs. Larson's par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Keith of 310 Warwick road. --C---- Weather vanes, foot scrapers, wall ornaments, and other useful decora- tions of wrought iron should be your Christmas list for someone. Kin of Evanston Woman Built Panels Shown Here The exhibit of five of the oak- paneled rooms of the historic mansion, Whitehall, at Shrewsbury, England which is on display in the decorating galleries at Marshall Field and Co., is of interest locally because the builder and original owner of Whitehall, Sir Richard Prynce, was the seventh great grand-uncle of Mrs, Theodore C. Kel- ler of 1007 Greenwood, Evanston. When Mrs. Keller and her daughter, Mrs. Vincent D. Ely, went abroad in 1922 they spent several days at this home then known as Manor house, which had been sold and turned into a high grade residential hotel. A few years later when Mrs. Keller and an- other daughter, Miss Jean, went to England they were unable entrance, as the house was dismantled. being to gain!
