College Mews Z-616 VOL. XXVII, No. 2 BRYN MAWR and WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1940 Copyright, Truitees of Bryn Mawr College, 1940 .PRICE 10 CENTS Activity Fund Needs 5500 Dollars To Cover Bryn Mawr Projects Refugee Fund Adds to Sum Every Student Asked To Aid Drive The Activities Drive will begin Monday and last until Thursday night. Repeating the experiment of last year, campus organizations will pool their demands for funds and attack the undergraduates once instead of heckling them with separate drives carried on through- out the whole year. The goal to be reached this year is 5500 dollars. This lump sum will satisfy all the needs of the Bryn Mawr League (including the Bryn Mawr Camp and the Bryn Mawr Summer School), the Peace Council, the Players' Club and the Refugee Student Fund. To raise #this amount every student will be asked to give 11 dollars (amount- CorMnuea on Pare Two Vogue is Presenting Prix de Paris Again To Aspiring Seniors This year Vogue is offering its Sixth Prix de Paris to any.member of the graduating class of 1941 in a United States College or Uni- versity which grants a recognized A.

Entry blanks may be 'obtained from Madge Lazo, Rhoads South. Nichols and Hutchins Discuss Labor School Virginia Nichols and Charlotte Hutchjns spent this summer as- sisting the staff of the Hudson Shore Labor School. The school. once located on the Bryn Mawr campus, has been, for twenty years, offering courses to woman workers. But the school is not an academic one. Its entire emphasis is in breaking down the barriers of prejudice, in gathering and ap- plying information, in stimulating clear thinking and in making de- mocracy meaningful. The prevalent spirit of the school was a spontaneous sense of co-operation, of practical demo- cratic living. The workers were drawn from all over the country and from Canada as well. Many industries, many opinions, many religions and races. were repre- sented. Experience and back- ground varied; ages ranged from twenty to thirty years. Some of the girls had never gone to high school. One attended law school at night. On the whole, about 50 per cent were union members, and 50 per cent were members of Y. W. C. A.'s. Science, English, economics, journalism and public speaking were taught, all by means of dis- continued on Page Six Miss Rice Continues Work With Quartet Miss Helen Rice, warden of Rhoads Hall in '38-'40, has returned this year to direct the string quartets which she organized two years ago. She will be at college each week from Sunday till Tues- day, and will be staying in room 24, Rockefeller. Last Sunday at ten-thirty Miss Rice and five stu- dents played in Goodhart for the fust time this year. These infor- mal Sunday morning concerts will be continued all winter. On Mondays and Tuesdays Miss Rice will have practice groups for players of varying ability. The most outstanding addition to the group this year is Judith Stephen, an English graduate student, who plays the oboe. The ensemble will play on Saturday night of the Alumnae Week-end.

Taking sev- eral of Mr. Willkie's campaign speeches in turn, Miss Northrop analysed the candidate's stated at- titudes toward business, agricul- ture, labor, and defense. The Los Angeles speech was de- voted mainly to the problems of taxation. Though no worse than those of previous administrations, the New Deal tax structure, said Miss Northrop, is, confused, is made up of different tax laws, and Continued on Pace Three President Park Emphasizes Need For Faith in the Civilized Life Willkie Rally Promises Oren Root and Noise The Bryn, Mawr Willkie Club wishes to announce a rally to be held in Goodhart Hall, on Monday, October 14. The rally will be re- plete with everything anyone could ask for. At approximately 7.40 a torchlight parade will wend its noisy way around the campus with the able assistance of Haverford and of the famed Bryn Mawr band, which has enhanced countless Pa- rade Nights and May Days. The procession will wind up in Good- hart Auditorium. At eight the rally will convene officially with three speakers, Oren Root, Jr., founder of the Willkie for president movement, Samuel Ewing, vice-president of the Young Republican Club of Pennsylvania, and Virginia-Sherwood, '41. After the speeches the floor will be thrown open for questions. It is hoped that Bryn Mawr undergrad- uates will turn out in droves. Will- kieites will hear their beliefs and opinions clarified and enlarged up- on. Rooseveltians will be given the opportunity to ask questions or throw old tomatoes if they choose. Whether you plan to cheer or boo, come and join in the fracas. Translations Become Weird and Wordy As the German Oral Rolls Around Again * By Agnes Martin, '43 As it is now technically autumn, everything from the weather to the intellect should be cool and keen. But autumn has seemingly not yet come into her own on the Bryn Mawr Campus, for, last Sat- urday when the German Oral was taken,-there were distinct traces of the lazy, stupefying days and ways of summer. The deteriorating ef- fect of these traces is clearly evi- dent in the following translations of various passages on the Oral. For example, the feather episode: "By chance, he noticed on the skin of a new born a feather which, according to the division of the groups, had to come from a fowl or an eel. He attempted to deter- mine by hand from books the origin of the feather." However, "it could not be determined certainly about what there was concerned in this case for a feather." Or a description of that insect pest: ____ "The second highest confirmation is full of importance, that^here are small speaking insects which may be found in the higher at- mosphere between 500 and some- times 2500 miles, and even pos- sess small wings," "only one small wing," according to some interpre- tations. They are "inexpressibly small injects (length not over 3-to 4 mm.") "and to be sure, such as these fly only around in rings." But "the_fixation is difficult that the insects are separated in banks or one-celled clouds." Or finally, general discrepancies: "Only at ai height of 5000 mfles does one find true organic matter." But there seem to be exceptions: "Grasshoppers are found from 1000 to 1500 meters high." "We ourselves are, at a height of 5000 meters, regular organic matter." And then there are the "birds and insects which populate the lower layers of the aft as spontaneous Continued on Pace Fir* Faculty to Present Series of Lectures On Science History The History of Science will be the topic for a series of eight lec- tures beginning October 21. This experiment in the coordination of the sciences is being sponsored jointly by the Curriculum Commit- tee and the Science Club. If the meetings are successful, the series may become the basis for an elec- tive course in next year's curricu- lum. The faculty members of the various science departments are enthusiastic about the experiment and have worked out a plan where- by the talks will follow a very definite order proceeding from the inorganic to the organic to the abstract sciences. The lectures will be held at 7.30 p. m. in the minor biology room on the second floor of Dalto'n and will be fol- lowed by informal discussion. Miss Wyckoff will give the first talk Monday, October 21, on%he origins, of field geology. On Oc- tober .28, Mr. Dryden will present the geological evidences of evolu- tion. Miss Gardner will speak about genetics on November 7, Mr. Crenshaw about early chemistry on November 11 and Mr.* Doyle Continued on Pace Two Proceeds of Benefit To Aid Great Britain A Bryn Mawr benefit on a large scale will be held on October 30. The proceeds will purchase a Brit- ish ambulance unit, to bear the name of the college. The substance of the benefit is as yet but a mys- terious shadow. It does promise, however, to contain attractions of a musical nature. The benefit will be held in ac- cordance with the plans of the British - American Ambulance Corps. These have already been met by the overwhelming enthusi- asm of many American schools and colleges who wish to help fill this critical need~of the British nation. Students Must Understand Democratic Methods Clearly Goodhart Auditorium, October 1. President Park, in her address at the opening Chapel of the fifty- sixth academic year of Bryn Mawr College, spoke of the necessity of maintaining, in these times, our belief in the civilized life. Practi- cal action must be taken: we must "act quickly to prevent such civil- ization as we now have from dis- appearing at the hands of the to- talitarian group of states"; but we must, with equal determination, "sharpen our minds to work over, to strengthen and to broaden our only road to our only end�the processes of democracy." We have returned to a college improved in facilities and in op- portunity, but we cannot stand apart from the events which have brought our country to the edge of war. To those for whom the civil- ized life is an ideal, democracy of- fers only a procedure which will bring about "a certain desired and desirable kind of life" for our- selves and others. The totalitarian states also employ processes, but to a different end�an end which is Continued on Pace Five Undergraduate Board Stresses Point Rule The Undergraduate Association Board feels that the function of its Point Committee is a necessary one and should be explained at the beginning of the college year. Under the point system, approved by the college, no student may hold offices exceeding forty points. No exceptions will be allowed this year although a few have been made in the past. By such rigidity in the rule, undergraduates will be able to avoid embarrassing situa- tions arising from a misunderstand- ing of the system. Ill health and inefficient work brought on by too many activities will also be avoided. The chart showing the number of points for each office may be found in the Freshmen Handbook. Freshman Horde Descends on Bryn Mawr; Quickly Develops Precocious Individuals Class Elections The senior class" takes great pleasure in announcing the following elections: Helen Mclntosh, president; Ann Harrington, vice-presi- dent and treasurer; Babs Black, secretary. By A. M. Ellicott, '42 Last week a verdant freshman approached a member of the wel- coming committee, and asked with deference and humility where she could find some seniors. The wel- comer answered with customary upper-class frankness, "I'm terribly sorry, but there aren't any. They have all graduated." She was quite right. And in their place, a horde of newcomers has descended upon the campus and has an- nounced that they are the class of 1944. They arrived en masse on Thurs- day, looking much too frivolous to be Bryn Mawr students. One wandered dreamily into a smoking room the first evening and asked, "Do you think I can really get along without sex until Thanks- giving?" Another was overheard to remark to a companion, "Do you see all those naked seniors? Vogue says that you must wear knee- length socks.'.' Some, however, were ready to learn. One, standing in Rhoads' main hall, carefully inquired the direction, and the distance, to Rhoads North. Another was found quietly putting herself to bed one night by flashlight. She thought it was against regulations to keep lights burning after ten- thirty. Some freshmen are showing a tendency toward pernicious pol- itical practices. One stationed her young and very engaging brother at the door of the Dean's office, primed with a pocketful of Willkie buttons, which he thrust upon all comers. A Roosevelt partisan re- fuses to debate the issues; she flourishes a Landon badge instead, as the most subtle form of devas- tation she can think of. Ginny Nichols has made a pro- found impression on the fresh- men. One was indignant when her Hall President asked her if she was signing out correctly. "Sure," she said, "That braided dame gave me permission." On the whole the freshmen have absorbed the Bryn Mawr philoso- phy remarkably well. One, hit the crux of them all. "Shall we," she said, "be only casual, or should we be really messy?"

Dr. Lee identified the following factors that need to be addressed by the radiation oncology community as a whole to allow further expansion of particle therapy:
Dr. Lee explained that we are well on our way to addressing certain of the needs which he identified, and further away from addressing some others.
Dr. Lee identified the following factors as inhibiting or limiting expansion, despite efforts to address the needs identified above:
Mar 6, 2015 - Research comparing the safety and effectiveness of charged-particle radiation therapy with other treatments for cancer is scant, pointing to a need for comparative studies, preferably randomized trials, according to research published online Sept. 15 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

The military and aerospace (mil/aero) market relies on efficiency. This is true of myriad industries during a down economy, which requires organizations—including the U.S. Department of Defense and other military organizations, as well as prime contractors and subcontractors—to do more with less.
Not only do engineering and manufacturing personnel need to be efficient, but also the tools they employ must be competent, capable, and powerful. Workflow efficiency is also a necessity in managing and fulfilling mil/aero contracts.
Inefficiencies can, and do, lead to delays in delivering much-needed technologies—even entire sea, air, or ground platforms—out to awaiting warfighters in the field. Even worse, programs can become drawn out, due to a contractor's (or multiple contractors') inability to deliver on time and on budget, and cancelled. Such was the fate of the U.S. Army's Future Combat Systems (FCS), which cost hundreds of billions of dollars and went on for years and years with little result, before being cancelled by the Pentagon.
That's the bad news, for the industry and the warfighters. The good news, however, is that modern tools are enhancing productivity and delivering technologies to market, and to the battlefield, faster than previously possible. One such success story is Bell Helicopter in Fort Worth, Texas.
Bell Helicopter executives just announced the company's 2011 successes—among them was what this geek considers and monumental achievement: Bell Helicopter's 2011 deliveries were made either on time or ahead of schedule. To what do company officials attribute the achievement? Teamwork or working, as the company's slogan says, as "One Bell."

As the end of the week arrives, there are no more VIP previews and all the special openings have opened. There are a few less private jets in the airport and Rolls Royces on the street, but Miami is more bustling than before.
Art fans and party seekers have arrived from around the country to enjoy a weekend of art, events, beaches and sun. The day's best bets are to start it off at the Blood Mary bar hosted at the Absolut art bar, and to then head over to take a long look at the Art Basel exhibition. Later in the evening, head over the to W Hotel for a relaxing film dinner on the lawn under the calm night sky. After the movie, the possibilities are endless… after all, it's Friday night in Miami.

If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, let us know within a year of delivery and we will send you a free one-time replacement or a refund of the full purchase price.
Dear Friends,
I'm very excited to announce that after 75 years, Miller Nurseries will now become part of Stark Bro's, a highly respected nursery company that's been "growing" their famous legacy since 1816.
For nearly 200 years, Stark Bro's has been producing high-quality fruit trees, berries and garden plants for gardeners like you. With their great nursery stock and expert advice, they've been helping generations of families reap not only the rewards of growing their own fruits and nuts, but to enjoy huge savings in the process. Stark Bro's has a long-standing reputation for quality, honesty and really taking care of their customers.
When my brother David passed away suddenly last spring, I knew it was time to retire. One of the first things I did was to call Cameron Brown, the president of Stark Bro's. He is a long-time friend and a very trustworthy fellow, and treats his customers like gold. I knew he would take care of you in exactly the same way. David would have liked this arrangement, and I take comfort in that.
It's only going to get better as part of the Stark Bro's family. You'll now be able to come here to StarkBros.com and sign in with your existing username and password, and purchase products just like you did on the Miller Nurseries website... only the selection will be much larger! You'll still be able to buy Miller's familiar "Canandaigua Quality" hardy plants as well as the enormous assortment of trees and plants Stark Bro's offers.
We want to take this opportunity to acknowledge our family, our wonderful employees, and especially you - our loyal customers - for your support and patronage over these last 75 years. Thank you for being such an important part of our heritage.
Warm regards,
John Miller, CEO
Miller Nurseries

Name: Alice Bravo
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Appearance: (WIP)
Side: (Loner?)
Species: Genetically Enhanced Soldier (mutant)
Powers: Alice was raised in an underground lab for as long as she could remember. Because of the constant tests done to her, she gained the ability to control paper. While under Alice's control, the paper becomes as solid as steel and fire, as well as anything similar to fire (lasers, bombs, etc.), have no effect. Water is her main weakness, however a diamond or diamond-coated blade would render it useless as well. The paper must have a direct line to Alice for her to maneuver it.
Using her control over paper, Alice can create blades of many shapes, claws, shields, a bow, a quiver of arrows, beast-like paper monsters (a paper chain connecting it to her), and anything else the situation might need within certain bounds.
History: Alice was one of a handful of children who disappeared 21 years ago. She had grown up knowing only the lab. They began testing on her immediately. Of the testing subject that were taken to the lab, only 3 escaped. Many others tried. They were killed mercilessly.
Alice, with the help of her best friend, a boy who could manipulate metal, and her lover, a telepath/electropath who would rather spend her days in front of a computer than doing any of the tests, made their escape. Because some of the other children had already made deals with the scientists, the three of them were fighting through and running from kids that had once been their friends.
They had made it all the way outside when Alice's friend turned at a voice calling his name. "I'll take care of him." he had smirked, looking at the boy who had once been his best friend. Alice didn't want to but her lover pulled her away as the best friends turned worst enemies began their final battle. Alice never found out who won.
While hiding in the forest, Alice and her lover were surrounded by guards from the lab. The telepath had told Alice to run and hide, using herself as bait so Alice could escape. She'd hidden in a nearby tree and watched as bullets flew from every bush, piercing her lover's body. Unable to do anything, Alice listened as she heard her last thoughts. She held back her tears until the guards left.
That was 5 years ago. Since then, Alice has hidden herself as a new woman. She hid in the forest for 2 years, making herself stronger and faster. (WIP)

A Shadow in the Clouds: The Bessie Coleman Story
This is the story of a true pioneer -- Bessie Coleman was not only the first female African-American aviator, she was the first African-American ever to hold an international pilot's license. Unable to get training in America, this determined woman went to Paris to learn to fly and get her pilot's license. To make a living she became a stunt pilot. Known as "Queen Bess," she was popular with black and white audiences for her flamboyant style and daring nature. Black Repertory Group pays tribute to this inspirational figure with a historical stage piece that combines film footage, music and acting from a multi-racial ensemble.

Glendale — The Nicolet F.E.A.R. robotics team finished in top ranks of a 59-team tournament last weekend.
The Nicolet team was part of a three-team alliance that scored second in the Northern Lights Regional in Duluth, Minn. This year's competition challenged three-team alliances to a recycling-themed game in which robots score points by stacking tote bins on scoring platforms, capping those stacks with recycling containers and disposing of foam pool noodles, which represent litter.
The team was also awarded the Underwriters Laboratories Safety Award, which celebrates teams that use innovative ways of eliminating hazards in the competition.
Adam Thiel, the team's lead mentor, said the team of 63 students, is starting to improve its rankings after three years in existence. Nicolet F.E.A.R. is now gearing up for the Wisconsin regional competition on March 19-21 at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena.
Shorewood boys basketball team beats Madison in regional, 63-60
Momentum lost, momentum found.
Shorewood boys basketball coach Phil Jones watched it go back and forth in the waning minutes of his team's 63-60 WIAA Division 2 regional quarterfinal win over Milwaukee James Madison Tuesday night.
"That's the key word, momentumn," he said. "We had to shift the momentum back when they got it. ...The kids got rattled for awhile and that's a little out of character for them, but they got it together in time, because the season is about ups and downs and making plays when you need them."
With the victory, the Greyhounds (13-10) advanced to a WIAA D2 regional semifinal at 7 p.m. Friday, March 6 at regional top seed Milwaukee Washington (17-5). Whitefish Bay is the number two seed on the other side of the bracket and the regional final is slated for Saturday night.
Jones would like to see the Greyhounds keep moving one foot in front of the other and making plays like the series of efforts that helped seal the deal down the stretch against Madison.

Brown Deer approves amendment to TIF district
Brown Deer — The Brown Deer Village Board unanimously approved an amendment to TIF District #2 that aims to spur redevelopment near Bradley Road and 47th Street.
The amendment would add 12 acres of land that includes the former Algonquin School site, the former Lighthouse of Brown Deer site and a small amount of land owned by Milwaukee County. A TIF district would allow the village to spend an estimated $3.5 million on land improvements designed to spur residential development.
The village plans to spend $1.4 million to buy the former Lighthouse of Brown Deer site from New Perspectives Senior Living, which is building a larger, four-story assisted living center on 60th Street, north of Brown Deer Road. Village officials also estimate they will spend $1.7 million to install sewer, water and other public utilities for future residential development. Any expenditures the village chooses to make would have to be made by 2017.
The village's expenditures would be recouped through the additional tax revenue generated by future development. Village officials estimate residential development on that 12 acres of land could create an estimated $5.5 million in additional value, including $1.5 million on the 3-acre Lighthouse site and $4 million on the 9-acre Algonquin School site.
The village, school district and other taxing bodies would not receive any of the additional tax revenue generated by future developments until the village's infrastructure costs are recouped, which is expected to happen in 2022.

No one knows when the last time the Shorewood girls basketball team won a WIAA regional title.
That information may be lost to the dusty pages of history.
All that coach Jeff Eimers and his over-achieving Greyhounds know, is that before a noisy home crowd backed by the boisterous Shorewood Pep Band, they made a little history Saturday night.
Some simply amazing history.
The Greyhounds used a stifling defense to hold visiting Whitefish Bay to just three second half field goals, only one of whch was scored when it mattered. They coupled that to an aggressive to-the-basket offense and were rewarded with a 52-40 WIAA D2 regional final victory.

When it was announced that local artist Miranda Levy would appear on Season 12 of "Project Runway" on Bravo TV, I attempted to reach her lots of ways. I finally connected with her via social media and remember thinking how poised she seemed in that 140-character realm.
Except that it wasn't her at all, I learned fairly quickly. It was her fiancé, Michael Adler, who convincingly channeled his significant other, virtually and sans the Bettie Page bangs, during her months of shooting the reality TV show.
"He still runs my Twitter feed," says Levy, who became known on the show for her pencil skirts and self-described "nerdy" looks. "He's a good partner. I think he knows me better than anyone does."
It isn't every couple that can share a Twitter account. Maybe that explains how these two artists who both create art at home can share a New York-sized apartment in Shorewood.
Adler is a musician and illustrator who studies computer engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and works full time. Levy is a fashion designer and artist who works for the Museum of Wisconsin Art in West Bend.

Shorewood — Demolition began Tuesday, Feb. 24, on Shorewood's old Walgreens building, paving the way for a two-story Metro Market grocery store, a four-story parking garage and a six-story building on Oakland Avenue.
Once the Walgreens and neighboring Harry W. Schwartz Bookshop are demolished, construction crews will begin work on the Metro Market grocery store.
Shorewood's existing Pick 'n Save will remain open until May when demolition begins on that building.
In the fall, construction will begin on the six-story, mixed-use building featuring upscale apartments and 15,000 square feet of retail space.
The new development will occupy the entire two blocks between Kenmore and Olive Streets on the west side of Oakland Avenue, replacing the current Pick 'n Save and abandoned Schwartz and Walgreens facilities.
» Read Full ArticleShorewood school superintendent is a finalist for West Allis-West Milwaukee job
Shorewood — Shorewood School District Superintendent Marty Lexmond is one of three finalists for an open superintendent position in the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District.
Lexmond said his interest in the West Allis-West Milwaukee position has nothing to do with a recent petition signed by more than 100 Shorewood residents urging the Shorewood School Board not to renew Lexmond's contract. Lexmond's contract automatically renewed on Feb. 1 for one year.
Lexmond said the opportunity in West Allis-West Milwaukee allows him to return to his roots in urban education. His career began with field experiences at North Division High School, seven years at Vincent High School and mentoring new teachers in Milwaukee middle schools.
Lexmond said his experience in Milwaukee Public Schools — combined with the leadership lessons he learned in Shorewood and Kohler — have given him skills to address challenges that come with a racially and economically diverse district such as West Allis-West Milwaukee.
"It's a district I've watched for quite a while. It provides a unique opportunity to bring together my experience in urban and suburban education," he said. "It's a really interesting opportunity that comes with greater diversity, larger size and more economic diversity."

West Allis-West Milwaukee superintendent include the superintendents at Shorewood and Greendale and a regional superintendent at Milwaukee Public Schools.
The finalists forShorewood Superintendent Marty Lexmond, Greendale Superintendent John Tharp and MPS Regional Superintendent Jesse Rodriguez met with parents and community members at the district Saturday, in a forum broadcast on Time Warner Cable Channel 13.
The West Allis-West Milwaukee School Board is scheduled to discuss the finalists tonight during a closed session meeting.
The board plans to name a new superintendent on or before April 1. That person will take over the district starting July 1. Former West Allis superintendent Kurt Wachholz abruptly retired at the end of July 2014 after several years of rapid -- and in some cases controversial -- changes in the district.
Wrong-way drunken driver arrested on I-43
A 27-year-old woman was arrested for driving the wrong way on I-43 after leaving a Milwaukee nightclub early Sunday morning.
Traveling northbound in the southbound lane, Sade Franklin side-swiped another car near Capitol Drive and crashed into a median south of Hampton Avenue, according to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office. The driver of the vehicle she struck said he saw the vehicle heading toward him and he attempted to swerve, but the wrong-way driver also swerved and struck him.
Glendale police and deputies arrested Franklin around 2:27 a.m. Sunday for drunken driving and recklessly endangering safety, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years. Franklin told police she had one drink at Club 618 at 618 N. Water Street in Milwaukee, and then entered the freeway at the Highland Avenue off-ramp.
Germantown boys basketball team clinches outright NSC title
Over the course of the last nine extremely successful years, the three-time WIAA state champion Germantown boys basketball team has had to stare down moments like it faced Friday night on senior night at home against archrival Homestead.
The Highlanders had erased a 10-point third quarter deficit, and behind the mighty efforts of 6-7 forward Jaylen Key (26 points), had surged into a 51-47 lead with 7:32 left before a packed Germantown gym full of hoops' junkies.
In the past, Warhawk superstars like Ben Averkamp, Zak Showalter, Luke Fischer or Lamonte Bearden would have stepped to the fore to put an end to such nonsense.
But those guys are long gone to college or beyond.
Enter junior point guard Juwan McCloud, who now put up his name for consideration among those Warhawk greats. In that fourth quarter, he would hit in short succession, four 3-pointers, including one four-point play.

North Shore schools proactive against potential measles outbreak
When measles hit the Chicago suburbs two weeks ago, schools in the North Shore took notice.
The North Shore Health Department has contacted area schools recommending that schools review their students' vaccination records. The health department has also provided a letter for schools to send to families encouraging them to get up to date on their vaccines.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends all children get two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccines, starting with the first dose at 12 through 15 months of age, and the second dose at 4 through 6 years of age. Parents are allowed to opt out of vaccinations on the basis of health, religious views or personal conviction. The personal conviction option applies to parents who believe, for example, that vaccinations may result in autism.
Shorewood school nurse Cindy Roach has taken the health department's advice, and has started making phone calls to parents who are either behind on vaccinations or have chosen to opt out of vaccinations. She tells the parents that if a measles outbreak occurs in a Shorewood school, children who are not current with their vaccinations will be asked to stay home for several weeks.
In Shorewood, 90 out of 2,096 students are not current on their measles, mumps and rubella vaccinations. Some of those 90 children are foreign-born students behind on their vaccinations, and some may be behind on vaccines for other reasons. Out of those who choose to opt out, Roach said the majority of parents do so out of personal conviction, as opposed to health or religious reasons.

Frank Lloyd Wright, a name that has made a global impact on architecture and design. This American architect is known for integrating his designs into the landscape upon where it sits. With natural flowing lines & bringing nature indoors, each one of Wright's houses in unique in its own setting. Today we are highlighting one of Wright's personal homes in Oak Park, Illinois. Houzz writer & photographer, Cynthia Lynn recently wrote a fabulous article highlighting the home during its Holiday "for kids, by kids" Home tour. Organized by the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust and led by "junior interpreters", the home is decorated as if you were going back to the time the Wright family inhabited the home for Christmas. Lets take a peek into the home and the article that highlights the tour…
During Wright's time, strands of lights were not used to decorate the home's exterior. Fresh green garland dresses up the windows and front door. The exterior design of the home exemplifies Wright's use of geometry in his designs.
In 1889 Wright designed and constructed the home for himself and his bride, Catherine Tobin. The first floor consists of the living room, dining room and kitchen, featuring the built-in benches that Wright introduced into modern home design. His use of built-ins made for intentional, controlled seating; there was no need for additional furniture.
Most homes during the 1890s were boxed in and closed off, but this entryway leads to an open floor plan. Wright chose to focus on a simple design aesthetic and emphasized the use of horizontal lines.
A red knitted scarf and mittens by the front door offer a subtle reminder of the holiday season.
Catherine would make all of the fresh, natural arrangements for the holidays. The couple often placed gifts for the children on the seating built into the fireplace inglenook.
As the family grew, the need for more space became apparent. Wright converted the kitchen into this formal dining room during a major renovation in 1895, designing the dining room as a space within a space. The formal structure of the light fixture centers the room, while the high chair backs define the dining area. Two of the eight chairs are original and have not been restored. A festive centerpiece, also typically designed by Catherine, sat in the center of the table during the holiday season.
The second-floor playroom, added during the 1895 renovation, is where the children learned to play instruments and put on musicals. It was typical for a grand 12-foot tree to be at the center of the high-ceilinged room during the holidays. Wright disliked attics and basements and chose not to put them in his home. The family originally lit the trees with candles, and the children were not allowed into the room until Wright was done lighting the tree. A bucket of water was always placed next to the tree in case of a fire.
Wright often wrapped small gifts in large boxes to throw the children off course. Unlike the oversize boot-like stockings seen and used today, actual stockings hung above the fireplace.
On display during the tours are gifts that the children may have received from Wright.
Relatives would often gather around the tree during the holidays to sing and dance. The children performed in the gallery above while guests watched from below. Handmade garlands made out of popcorn and cranberries were typical decorations of the time.
The corridor to Wright's studio was part of the addition in 1898. The hallway was built around an existing tree, later removed; a replica of the tree and a photo remain in the space. To the left is the entryway into the first level of the studio, and straight ahead is a set of stairs leading to the second-floor balcony. The children decorated their rooms with handmade paper snowflakes and colorful paper chains.
The two-story studio was the first of its kind to house architects and designers in one space. The marrying of the two gave way to some of the greatest designs of Wright's time, including the Robie House, along with the birth of the Prairie style of architecture. The decorative chains in the studio were not only aesthetic but also structural. The horizontals held the walls together, and the verticals kept the balcony elevated. Subtracting beams for the balcony created more space. During the holidays Wright also decorated his studio with more of his children's paper chains.
The kitchen was also extended during the 1895 renovation and is staged the way it may have looked for the Wright family. A turkey was served for Christmas dinner, and the children made candy and cookies in the kitchen. Not all the pieces in the room are original, but the setting offers a good idea of how it may have looked during the holiday season.
The exterior of the studio is also decorated with a simple, fresh garland. The facade of the studio is quite different from the home. Wright wanted to make sure that when clients entered, they were entering his studio and not his home. He had fulfilled his desire to be close to home, but he wanted to make sure business was kept business.
Thank you to Cynthia Lynn Photography & Houzz for the fabulous holiday article featuring the amazing design of Frank Lloyd Wright. Check out the entire article & home here. In the Oak Park, Illinois area? There is still one more holiday tour scheduled:
When: Saturday, December 15, 2012, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. (30-minute tours)
Location: Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio, 951 Chicago Avenue, Oak Park, Illinois
Cost: Free. An adult must accompany children under 8.
Happy Wednesday!!

Fox 32 Float 26 Inch 120mm CTD ADJ FIT Tapered White Fork 2014
The 2014 Float comes with Fox's CTD damper. An acronym for "Climb, Trail, Descend," CTD takes the guesswork out of on-the-fly adjustments to low-speed compression damping with three presets. Climb offers the firmest platform, to minimize bob under hard pedaling. Descend mode offers the most active platform, making it plush and reactive over rough terrain. Trail aims to be a dynamic blend, offering moderate damping designed to be optimal for the widest range of conditions. Trail is also the only mode offering additional fine-tuning with Trail Adjust, allowing for three levels of damping in Trail mode. Float models with 120 millimeters of travel feature a progressive spring rate for cross-country riding, butted stanchion tubes and an arch assembly aimed at reducing weight while maintaining rigidity.

Collecting Vintage Aprons
Nostalgic totems of domestic bliss, aprons offer up the perfect recipe for a stylish, budget-friendly collection.
By Katy McColl
Multiple Aprons
Anatomy of an Apron
Five reasons why this sweet little 1950s number (worth $65) really cooks.
The bib
Heart-shaped bodices made their debut in the '40s, but — based on popularity — carried over into the next decade. Designed to slip over the period's full-skirted dresses, this hubba-hubba silhouette gets added definition from crisscross straps and a tie waist.
The condition
Notorious for staining and fraying easily, sheer cotton organdy can't handle the heat and should be kept out of the kitchen. Miraculously, this floral version has been well-preserved.
The skirt
A flat front and two layers of fabric offer more movement than a skirt with a gathered waist. At the scalloped hem, commercial edging and navy-blue picot rickrack add polish.
The pocket
Valuing aprons constitutes an inexact science because so much of their worth comes from gut-level charm — which makes this appliquéd rooster the key element of the garment.
The origin
Apron patterns — like the one this homemade beauty was sewn from — regularly ran in newspapers and magazines, according to Joyce Cheney, author of Aprons: Icons of the American Home.

What makes Kentwool socks so special? Aside from the fact that so many golf professionals swear by them, they are some of the best designed socks ever made.
Kentwool socks blend Super-Fine Merino wool with other natural and engineered fibers to create a sock that conforms to your foot's shape. Merino wool is one of the softest types of wool available, and Kentwool pairs that up with spandex to create an exact fit to your foot. A nylon vent system, combined with Sorbtek polyester and Cocona fiber provide for maximum moisture management, keeping your feet dry whether you're just getting a quick hour in at the range or if you're going for 36 holes.
By focusing so much on moisture management and keeping the foot as dry as possible, they help solve a couple other foot problems. Excessive moisture in shoes and especially on socks are contributing factors to blister development, so by keeping the feet drier, Kentwool is able to do a lot to reduce blisters from forming. The other factor that contributes to blisters forming on feet is friction, and Kentwool has addressed that by adding Cocona fiber, which significantly reduces friction and fabric abrasions. Kentwool is so confident in their design that they actually guarantee that you will not get blisters while wearing their socks.
The other problem Kentwool is able to address through advanced moisture management is odor. Body odor is caused by bacterial growth, and bacteria thrive in warm, moist environments. By combining moisture-wicking fabrics with fabrics designed to speed up evaporation rates, Kentwool socks are constantly pulling moisture away from the foot. These materials also resist bacterial colonization, which makes it harder for fabrics to retain bad smells caused by bacteria growth.
On top of all that (or perhaps because of it), Kentwool socks help keep your feet from fatiguing as fast. This means that you can play more without feeling as tired, or simply feel less tired after playing as you usually would.

Brinley Family
Brinley Family Papers, 1643-1950.
Call no.: MS 161
A prosperous family of merchants and landowners, the Brinleys were well ensconced among the social and political elite of colonial New England. Connected by marriage to other elite families in Rhode Island and Massachusetts — the Auchmutys, Craddocks, and Tyngs among them — the Brinleys were refined, highly educated, public spirited, and most often business-minded. Although many members of the family remained loyal to the British cause during the Revolution, the family retained their high social standing in the years following.
The Brinley collection includes business letters, legal and business records, wills, a fragment of a diary, documents relating to slaves, newspaper clippings, and a small number of paintings and artifacts. A descendent, Nancy Brinley, contributed a quantity of genealogical research notes and photocopies of Brinley family documents from other repositories. Of particular note in the collection is a fine nineteenth century copy of a John Smibert portrait of Deborah Brinley (1719), an elegant silver tray passed through the generations, and is a 1713 list of the library of Francis Brinley, which offers a foreshadowing of the remarkable book collection put together in the later nineteenth century by his descendant George Brinley.

Dall Family

Chiefly correspondence from various Dall family members in Boston, Massachusetts, particularly father William Dall, Revolutionary War veteran, merchant, businessman and former Yale College writing master, to sons William and James Dall in Baltimore, Maryland. Letters of son James Dall, then a student at Harvard University, provide accounts of Boston political and cultural activities of the time.
The correspondence documents the daily changes in the life of a merchant's family in the early 19th century, reflecting anxiety over trade restrictions, embargoes, and other economic disruptions resulting from the War of 1812. The elder Dall (William 3rd) and much of his family lived in Boston, but two sons lived in Baltimore. The bulk of the correspondence consists of letters to the younger son, William 4th, who was then apprenticed to a Baltimore merchant. The letters of son James Dall, then a student at Harvard University, provide accounts of Boston political and cultural activities.
