PLAYLAND READY TO OPEN SEASON
Amusement Park
Polished Up for First Crowds Saturday Night. With two new
entertainment features added this year, the Pretzel Ride
and the Lindy Loop, South Bend's amusement headquarters, Playland
park, will be opened to the public at 6:30 o'clock Saturday
night.
Everything has been placed in tip-top
shape for the grand opening, all the old amusement facilities
have been set up and ready to operate for the entertainment of
all, according to Earl Redden, manager.
Bill Dallavo and his Call of the North
orchestra will be on hand at the ballroom to furnish music for
dancing on the opening night. The orchestra will play
Sunday evening and Lloyd Wells and his 11-piece band will open an
engagement at the park on next Wednesday evening. This
orchestra hails from Omaha, Neb., where they have been favorites
during the past seasons and well known to radio listeners in that
section of the country for their regular broadcasts from WOW, the
Woodmen of the World station there.
Manager Redden has made arrangements to
care for a large crowd on the opening night to-morrow and
hundreds are expected to seek entertainment at the amusement
center.

HUMOROUS TALKS FEATURE LUNCH
Talks by various members of the
South Bend Excange club featured its meeting to-day in the Oliver
hotel. The program was in charge of J. Z. Woodworth.
Dr. George Rosenheimer spoke on
"New Methods of Installing Plumbing"; B. J. Andrews on
"Embarrassing Moments in Denistry"; Carter T. Pollock
on "Modern Printing"; Bernard J. Koltner (Keltner?) on
"Overcoming Mistakes in the Streetcar Service," and
Milton Utter on "Operation and Disposal of Spare
Parts."
The talks were decidedly humorous with
each individual telling of another's profession or business.

GRAND JURY DELAYS REPORT
Prosecuting Attorney Harry S.
Taylor said to-day that the county grand jury which has been in
session for a week will not complete its investigation
before Monday afternoon. The appearance of a dozen
additional witnesses in a statutory case involving a 19-year-old
girl caused the delay in the report, he said.
