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.

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.
