E pd 2 ss ' December 1, 1928 WINNETKA TALK MAKES ANNUAL REPORT ON ABATEMENT PROJECT Mosquito Fighters Accomplish Big Job During Summer Sea- son; Plan for Spring The North Shore Mosquito Abate- ment district, at its November meeting at the Wilmette Village hall last Mon- day evening, discussed the work of the past season and outlined plans for an early resumption of spring. ~The report of Superintendent Wil- liam Edwards, covering in detail the accomplishments of the past season, was presented. It began with the opening of the district office and head- quarters at 1853 Green Bay road, Glen- coe last April, and continued through- out the operations, which closed only a few days ago. At the height of the season's eradi- cation campaign activities included a force, in addition to the superintend- ent and his office assistant, comprising two foremen, one troubleman, one in- spector, one night watchman and thirty-four field workers. Accomplish Big Job As indicated by the report, a vast amount of work was accomplished, which is to be resumed and extended next year when the main channel open- ing to permit the free flow of water is completed. The Chicago Sanitary district work- ers have been doing the channeling job. After discontinuing the dynamit- ing operations some time ago, they continued their efforts, employing the drag-like method until zero weather halted operations. activities next It was announced at the meeting Monday evening, that the sanitary dis- trict's recent curtailment of operations had extended to the work it was doing in the North Mosquito Abatement district, and that there would be no more work on the channel this winter. Would Alter Disrict Plans It is hoped, however, that the plans of the Sanitary district may be altered sufficiently to permit completion of the drainage work to the County line or at least to Dundee road. The opening of this channel is the very foundation of the Mosquito Abatement district work. If it can be completed this winter, it will not only carry off the spring flood water, but will enable the mosquito fighters to get an early start on oper- ations next year, SELL SEASON TICKETS Applications for season tickets to the ten basketball games the Northwestern quintet will play are now being re- ceived.

Riley A Chinese love story tenderly told and to be made especially fascinating by its production according to the Chinese fashion in the drama, creates the fantasy, "Little New Moon," writ- ten recently by Alice C. D. Riley (Mrs. Harrison B. Riley.) It will have Play- shop presentation the evenings of Dec. 12, 13 and 14 at the school of speech, Northwestern university. The story is that of Key Fah, aged horticulturist, long a widower, father of the young and lovely Key Wing. To- gether they care for the chrysanthemum garden of the emperor. By cross-fertil- ization Key Fah has created many new flowers and fruits, but his most import- ant effort is to give fragrance to the chrysanthemum. Tried for Blighting Garden Key Wing is pursued by a juggler, Lee Sing, who has a wife, and when her father will have none of him, through his black magic he blights the garden under their care. For this father and daughter are imprisoned. They are given trial in the public square by Ling Wang, the young and distinguished governor of the province, who becomes convinced of the virtue of the father and enamoured of the beauty of the daugh- ter. It is agreed that Lee Sing and Key Fah be given a month to produce a fra- grant chrysanthemum, the winner to be rewarded, the loser to be beheaded. Ling Wang, disguised as a boatman, returns home with the Key Fahs, and during the month of probation he twice saves Key Wing from the schemes of Lee Sing. The plant is stolen and Ling Wang deserts his friends to attire himself in royal rcbes to conduct the trial. During the latter he casts off the princely garb, assumes that of the boatman and ap- pears in defense of the Key Fahs. The outcome is one of happy result for the lovers, tragedy for their foe.
