THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1920 YOU'LL FORGET YOUR WORRIES NOV. 12-13 Ouilmette Country Club Will Drive Awar All Distressing thoughts at "Rocky Gulch" Mining Camp Business worries will have to go akiting, household obligations will matter nought on the evenings of November 12 and 13, A. D. 1920, when Wilmette folks of all ages and high or lowly station, will foregather at the scene of the Ouilmette Country club, converted for the time being in- to a rough and ready mining town of the days of the Forty-niners and bearing the ominous title, "Rocky Gulch". As repeatedly made known in the columns of The Lake Shore News our otherwise quiet and peaceful vil- lage is to be swept by a veritable hurricane of riotous hilarity that is to penetrate every "nook and cranny" and hurl every villager in the direction of the miniature mining camp down at the lake front. And, once in Rocky Gulch, the dizzy whirl of excitement will just keep one spinning around from place to place in utterly delightful con- fusion. The miniature camp is staged by the men of the Ouilmette Country club for the purpose of showing Wil- mette a real old-fashioned good time and to promote some genuine good- fellowship. The affair is not for profit, a nickle is worth a "buck" and there will be thousands of "bucks" to spend just for the asking. At "Rocky Gulch" one is to meet up with some very terrible "bad men" such as "Slit-ear Charley" Heller, "Shimmy" Smithers, prop- rietor of the "Bucket of Blood Dance Emporium" and many others of the days of good Judge Lynch and the vigilantes. At "Rocky Gulch", also, will be vfound real stores, a bank, dance halls, » gilded palaces of sin, gambling dens, with their great variety of devices for trimming the "suckers", and scores of other head-swimming and altogether wicked outfits designed to be rough and ready. Reserve November 12 and 13 and take the stage to Rocky Gulch for a session of "hard-boiled" hilarity. More than 300 members of the Ouilmette Country club are working toward the success of the "Days of '49". LOCALS DROP INITIAL GRIDIRON GAME BY 14-0 Wilmette's football crew lost their first engagement of the season Sun- day at Third street and Linden ave- nue by a 14-0 count. Spectators were surprised at the wonderful showing of the local ath- letes even in defeat. Battling against a heavier team which has several victories under its be.lt already, the Wilmette eleven, with -only a few- practice sessions and no scrimmage to speak of to date, struggled bravely and although powerless on the offensive themselves they managed to hold the Mason Park team of Ev- anston to two touchdowns. Even in defeat the display of the Wilmette team is outstanding and a different story is expected to be told after Sunday's game with Chalmer A. C. of Chicago at the local field. FAREWELL BIRTHDAY PARTY Mrs. John Niggel of South Caro- lina, was honored Sunday afternoon at a birthday party at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Paul Nanzig of Ridge avenue, with whom she has been visiting the last three months.

WILMETTE STUDENT NAMED TO LEAD TRIBE OF ILL1NI John Prescott of 1019 Linden ave- nue, this week was elected as pres- ident of the Tribe of Ulini, the ath- letic association of the University of Illinois.

VILLAGE OF WILMETTE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT NOTICE (Village of Wilmette Special A»wm- ment Wirm( No. 138) The teachers and officers of the Congregational Church school met Wednesday night and decided to hold a local School of Religious Educa- tion. It was a most successful meet- ing with eighty per cent of the teachers of the entire school present, and ninety-six per cent of the teach- ers of the Primary department. The program was planned almost entirely by Miss Wheelock, the Chairman of the Commission on Religious Educa- tion, and was divided into two parts. The Primary department teachers met at six o'clock for dinner at the church and at six-thirty had a gen- eral discussion later dividing into groups headed by supervisors and the problems and plans of the various classes were then discussed. At 7:45 o'clock the entire staff met in the church parlors and the program for the evening began. Miss Wheelock, Superintendent of the Primary de- partment, spoke on the relation of the Primary department to the Junior deportment; Miss M. L. Pater- son, spoke on "The Bent Twig", a talk on the Junior department; Mr. Lloyd spoke on the relation of the church school to the church. Follow- ing a devotional service, the pro- gram was turned into a teachers' meeting with Mr. Irvine, Superin- tendent of the entire school, as chairman. Plans were made for the years work and committees appoint- ed to make preparations for Thanks- giving and Christmas activities. Rev. Stephen A. Lloyd, pastor, will preach this Sunday at the morning service on "Proving Values", the third sermon in a series on "Religious Certainties". The value of money is only realized as it is used more and more, as it is tested, and those who do not learn it's value, sooner or later realize that they have lost the good things in life; and so the value of religion is found through the knowledge of God and the thorough tests, ?.n.» those who do not make the be.-; of their opportunities to in- crease in that knowledge, sooner or later realize they have left out of their lives the very best that life offers. Islext Wednesday is the day set for the adjourned annual meeting of the church. Time did not allow a full discussion of some resolutions brought before the church on the nipht o fthe annual meeting which followed the monthly church night dinner, Wednesday, October 6, and it was therefore decided that these resolutions be laid upon the table for further consideration. The meet- ing will be held. Wednesday .October 27, in the church parlors. A large at- tendance is desired. On Friday night., October 29. a Hallowe'en party is to be held in the Congregational church and, ac- cording to plans, the party will be even better, if that is possible, than last year. The Junior department will have their party at 7-8 o'clock and those of high school age and older will hold their party immedi- ately following. The program seems to be a mysterious secretâ€"Watch for later notice. Weather permitting, the Intermediate boys are planning to hold a wiener-roast on the new playground, Saturday night at 8 o'clock.
