THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1921 .^ ----.â- Â« A small boy standing on the bridge where Sheridan road crosses! the canal at Wilmette rubbed his eyes , and wondered if it was an apparition he saw when he beheld anchored in the harbor a Pirate caravel. His mind instantly was surcharged with thoughts of Captain Kidd and buried; treasures, of "pieces of eight" and dripping cutlasses; of grizzle-faced men with red sashes, and armed to the teeth, fighting hand to hand on decks slippery with blood. He ran down quickly and found it was not a mirage, but a real live ship named "The Port of Missing Men/' the float- ing home of the Buccaneers' club. There are a few finishing touches with paint, brush and sail cloth, some interior fittings to be installed and early in June the club will formally go into commission and take its place to fill a long felt want on the north shore, a home in a snug harbor for those interested in sailing, canoeing and other aquatic sports. I Coincident with the commissioning I of the clubhouse will be the Hunch- ing of a fleet of six one design Cat boats which are now being built for the following members: Julian Arm- strong, John Burnham. W. B. Hale. Godfrey H. Atkin, Edward S. Main, Oscar Haugan, and many well con- tested races will be sailed during the coming months. Julian Armstrong of Evauston and R. M. Roloson of Evanston are respectively president and secretary of the club.

Upon the 30th day of May. for m a n y years, it has been our custom to turn aside from the daily routine of our lives for the purpose of paying our tribute of love and gratitude to those who fought and died for our beloved ^country. As the yianTgcTby. It has seemed that many of our people have lost^ight of the original pur- pose and significance of the day, and that recreation and sports have taken the place, in a large measure, of the duty and rever- ence we owe to our noble dead. In the midst of our pleasures let us not forget the purpose to which Memorial Day has been dedicated. Let us show all respect and devo- tion to the memory of those who made the supreme sacrifice for us. We owe this to those who died that the nation might live; we owe it to the gallant men who died that the oppressed might be free: we owe it to our brave sons who nave their lives tor democracy and the right, and not the least do we owe it to those who, in the great world - conflict, ungrudgingly and unself- ishly gave their fathers, brothers and sons to the service of their country. "And on this day let us also have in. mind the pro u d past of our country, and our duty to posterity that it shall have a yet prouder fu- ture. Our own Lincoln has said. "in his immortal "address at Gerjys- burKâ€""It is rather for us to 'be here dedicated to the great task- remaining before us â€" that from these honored dead we take in- creased devotion to that cause tor which they gave the J5il full meas- ure of devotionj that we here highly re«.<.he that these dead shall not have die'd in vain.' "Therefore, uponâ€"thir,, coming of the Village Zoning plan, has been prompted by a recent request for per- mit So erect a business structure on property on Fourth street immediate- ly north of the Terminal garage. Rob- ♦ Rae, builder, has made out the re- quest before the village officials and the matter was threshed out at a ses- sion Tuesday evening when a score or more of residents in that vicinity apneared to object to the proposed building>__â€"____,________â€"-----â€" "he contention of the objecting •useholders is that a majority of the buildings in the block are resi- dences and therefore the section is to be classified as a residene block. On the other hand, Mr. Rae and his friends contend that every store en- trance constitutes a separate business and that on that basis of reconing the block is in fact a business block with business places in the majority. The matter was referred to the Streets and Alleys committee for in- vestigation and report at the next reg- ular . meeting of thp Village Board. The proposed Inrlding^is to have two store spaces with apartments on the second floor. CHJCAGOANS BUY HERE Hill and Wheeler, realtors, an- nounce the following recent real es- tate transfers : A R.

' . „ The physical loveline&£-Of Ravinia is so striking, its clearness of vista. climate and atmosphere so winsome, that the best and most beautiful mu- sic in the world follows not even as a matter of course, but as an irresist- ible impulse. As a foundation, Ra- vinia has an invaluable asset in the first orchestra of the land, the Chir cago Symphony, an organization bearing as high and as well deserved repute for its achievements in opera as in symphony music. In both re- pects it has maintained Ravinia ideals in the past. It will add to them dur- ing the coming season. A large cast of distinguished sing- ers engaged by Mr. Eckstein lend their talents to the adornment of the many works in Ravinia's repertoire. An exceptionalâ€"trioâ€"of sopranos of Metropolitan stamp^Auna-Fitziu, Ma- rie Sundelius and Frances Peralta, will visit Ravinia for the first time. That lovely singer and delightful art- ist. Florence ^lacbeth. of the Chicago Company, will return after an ab- sence of several years. Margery Maxwell and Philine Falco, are also sure of a welcome. Alice Gentle returns to Ravinia as principal lyrico-dramatic contralto, and her performances in "Carmen" and "La Xavarraise", are remembered with keen pleasure. Charles Hackett and Morgan Kingston, real makers of operatic history and famous fig- ures in the great companies of Amer- ica and,Europe, are coming back, di- viding the tenor roles With Mario Chamlee, a young American. Gior- daho Paltrrnieri and Riccardo Strai- ciari. Leon Rothier, and VittorioTre- visan have also been engaged or re- engaged.

Having organized the department to function according to requirements, the next problem is to devise an ade- quate system of clearing .the collected data back to business. Mr. Feiker's background of engineering training, viewpoint, on the needs of industry and sense of publicity should be of unusual service in the furtherance of Mr. Hoover's plans. Mi*.
