40 WINNETKA TALK December 15, 1928 GIVEN BUDD MEDAL Frank E. Miller Is Honored for Suc- cess in Saving Man's Life For his efforts in saving the life of a man after all hope had been given up, Frank E. Miller, 2306 Hastings avenue, Evanston, an employe of the Public Service company of Northern Illinois, was presented with the Brit- ton I. Budd medal for the saving of human life at the annual meeting of the employes in Chicago Wednesday, December 5. Mr. Miller, using the Shaefer prone pressure method of artificiai respira- tion, worked for over an hour on Paul Ziegner of Highland Park who had been overcome by carbon monoxide gas after working on his car in a closed garage and revived him. The incident occurred last spring. Ziegner recovered his strength completely with- in a few days of the experience. The Britton I. Budd medal was es- tablished in 1926 by Mr. Budd, presi- dent of the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois, as an award to employes of the Public Service com- pany and other companies with which Mr. Budd is associated, who succeed in saving the life of anybody, any- where, at any time. The medal is in- tended to serve a three-fold purpose. It is a token of appreciation and honor for a noteworthy service; it stimulates interest in first aid instructions, which are given to all employes of the Public Service company, and it directs atten- tion to examples of prompt action on the part of employes, in meeting emer- gencies.

Numbered among the per- formances are two premieres for the year and the remainder of the program consists of works that have met with spectacular success at previous presen- tations. The week begins with the Sunday matinee performance of Wagner's "Die Walkuere," which was called by critics the finest presentation of that master- piece that has ever been seen on any stage when it was first given last Sat- urday. The work is enhanced by the appearance of Mme. Frida Leider, great German soprano, who instantly won the praise of her audience when she appeared for the first time in America as Brunnhilde in "Die Walk- uere" one week ago. Other notable ar- tists in the cast are Mme. Maria Olszewska, another renowned German singer, Forest Lamont, Eva Turner, Alexander Kipnis and Edouard Cot- reuil,. Mme. Leider will be heard Wed- nesday evening as Rachel in "The Jewess" by Havley. "The Tales of Hoffman," which was recently produced in striking new set- tings, will be given Tuesday evening and "Lakme," in which Alice Mock achieved great success last Sunday, is the attraction for Monday evening, Miss Mock appearing again in the difficult leading part, with Tito Schipa singing the role of Gerald. "Boris Godunoff," the great Russian feature of the Civic Opera company's repertoire, will be presented, with Vanni-Marcoux in the title role, Thurs- day evening. "Il Trovatore" with Eva Turner, Antonio Cortis and Richard Bonelli in the stellar parts, is scheduled for Saturday evening, and for the Sat- urday matinee there will be "I Elisir d'Amore"--The Elixir of Love--by Donizetti. This opera, with "The Jewess," constitute the premieres of the week and both are being eagerly awaited by patrons of opera. For Sunday afternoon, the perform- ance so well suited to the convenience of residents of communities surround- ing Chicago, "Carmen" will be given, with Coe Glade, the charming young Chicago contralto, appearing in the name role, Rene Maison as Jose and Cesare Formichi as Escamillo. Dr. Preston Bradley Next Speaker at Uptown Forum Dr. Preston Bradley, minister of the People's church, Chicago, will be the speaker at the Uptown Forum Sun- day evening, December 16, discussing "The Philosophy of Omar Khayam" Dr. Bradley, in this lecture, will re- view the whole ideal of fatalism and the new doctrine of determinism. The usual question period will follow the lecture. The Uptown Forum meets in the People's church, 941 Lawrence avenue, just east of Sheridan road, Chicago, at 8 o'clock. Kenilworth People View Newest School Addition Several hundred people attended the open house at the new Joseph Sears school addition in Kenilworth last Saturday night. Practically the entire community was represented, according to E. L. Nygaard, superintendent of the school. The classroom addition, together with the memorial gymnasium adjoining it on the south, constitute a building project costing in excess of $200,000. Superintendent Nygaard stated this week that the gymnasium probably will be ready for use about the first of the year, and dedication ceremonies will be held at that time.
