On a recent Saturday we motored from the t.Jrth shore to a friend's summer home near St. Joseph-more familiarly, St. J a.Michigan, a trip of Motoring Into about 110 miles, We set sail in the neighMichigan borhood of 10 in the morning. 'It was raining, but what was rain to Michigan-bound tourists in a closed car? Very little, inasmuch as the win·d -shield wiper was in good \vorking O!der, and the tires were sound. But-as the otherwise worthy vehicle was rolling down the streets of Evans ton the front wheels developed a shameful shimmy, a most irritating habit and one that ignoring cannot cure. So we turned into a garage and there tarried for som~ 90 minutes. Bv the time we were readv to resume our jouiney. midday had almost come, giving rise to the question, Shall we go or stay? There were three of us , and each of us said, "Go." · Then it became a question of getting on. the rain still fal!ing. Following C. S. 12 through Illinois and Indiana and into 1Iichigan we arrived in the cour e of four hours at our attractive destination, having covered a two-or-three-mile detour near Sawver ~Iich. Incidentally the detour covered ·ou; maroon car with a liberal supply of yellow mud. \Ve we~e guests in that comfortable St. ] o. home Saturday night and up to 2 p. Sunday, when we reversed our route, arriving on the north shore at tea time. · ~ext year we shall fly over the lake to ~Iichigan.

The work of the dub would ha\·e been worth commemorating had the business of adrnjni tering the :\rtist-Recital . eries been perfectly simple and smooth.

But when we learn hv direct information and inference of all the. tremendous amount of detail work and all the anxiet\· in\·olved in weather conditions, sickness, a~d misunderstanding we conclude that too much appreciation cannot he gh·en to the \ r innetk-a. ~~ usic dubf and especially to those most directly responsible, for these epoch-making recitals. m. \\'e can. imagine no more genuinely enjoyable occasiOn than the high school music fete which is to take place on the afternoon anrl e\·ening of Fridav. ~[av · High School 24. On that dav th.e hand~. Music Fete orche tra . . and -choruses of eight high schools-four on the . hore of Lake ~fichigan and four in uburbs west of Chicago-will present programs of indi\·iclual and combined numbers. The attracti ,·ene::; of these concerts-a£ ternoon and evening-i ~ heightened by the very fact that the participant ~ are high school boys and girls. There is a fre hne s, an enthusiasm. and a incerity in the singing and playing of young people that is often lacking in the singing and playing of their elders. \Ve suppose that there will alway ~ be in the performance of amateur a certain admirahle quality not to be found in the perforn~ance of professionals. The fact also that many of these young people are sons and daughter. of ·north shore citizens adds still more intere st to this great music fe tiv:-.1. \\'e tru::;t that r,urself and family will be among those present. During a brief. hut verv real, now sto rm on the a (ternoon of ~[a;: 2, we met a wise old gentleman who said that for manv vears he had tried to arrange hi hu iness. affairs so that he could spend the months of ~larch. April, and ~lay in a climate a little more settled than the variety furnished along the west hore of Lake ~fichigan. llave you seen along Sheridan Road that "loveliest of all trees, the cherry, hung with bloom?" PROOF POSITIVE Dear ~[ique: This dailinooze headline con firms my opinion that your column is just a wash-out: CRE\YS BEGIX REP.\IR OF SHORE LI~E RCIX -Augie.

Before order could be restored the deed was done. And where was the sheriff? Preparing His Trouaaeau Hub. by the \1\'ay, came all the \vay back to the north shore to ·prepare for his role in a forthcoming "rice festival," arriving a week betimes to be fitted for \vhatever it r:; that the best man wears. Avast There, Y e Lubbers! Vikings of the north shore will, it is to be hoped, lose no time in rigging up "The Port of Missing Men" 'gainst the liklihood that force may be necessary to bring the Coast Guard station to the Wilmette harbor. Or, better still: Why not recruit the forces of the "Red Napoleon?" -Mique
