Here is an op- ortunity for children under school gc to be weighed and measured and o«- mothers to receive advice from octor and nurse in cases of malnutri- ion. Miss Queen, the nurse, who is 3W an essential part of the corn- unity, has her office hour every day rom 12 to 1 o'clock. She is prepared o answer any call where a nurse an be of assistance. Besides, much f her time is.spentJn_the schools. It s she who weighs and measures the children in St. Joseph's school, the Gross Point Public school and in the District school on Lake avenue (west). It is she-whoTTielps in the understanding of quarantine laws. It is she who advises, helps, comforts. Heroic Service =rAf the time of the recent diphtheria epidemic Miss Queen was so untiring nd intelligent in her handling of the ituation that the Township Board ap- pointed her assistant health officer to Dr. Moore. Much might be said about heir work together at that time, but t is convincing enough to know that during the month of December alone they took 393 cultures in homes and schools. By work of this kind and neglect to no detail the epidemic was soon under control and is now a thing f the past. The writer feels that Wilmette owes a large debt for its safety in this crisis and at all times o such vigilance. Miss Queen has served the com- munity for sixteen months and it is matter of_great=satisfaction to know that she is here, and that so simple a thing as the purchase of Christmas seatsâ€"can support such warkT~~The Chicago Tuberculosis Institute pays alf the nurses' salary and the other lalf is raised by local co-operation. The Health Center itself has so fa been maintained by voluntary con- ributions. We invite you to visit he Center, to take advantage of it's privileges and to come in closer con- act with its work. __ Horace G.

Drury as commissioner of the Wil- mette Park District, at the annual Spring election on April 5. Drury has been a park commissioner since es- tablishment of the district and its seeking re-election this spring at the expiration of a five year term in that office. Announcement of the forthcoming election turns the thoughts of mat' residents to the "Park Board", as it is more commonly termed, its achieve- ments and activities. â€"Remarkable I improvement "Wilmette has at her water front one of the most beautiful parks in the United States," a prominent Wil- mette man declared this week in conversation with a representative of The* Lake Shore News. "Where in this country will you find a park bounded on three sides by great ex- panses of water?", he challenged. "No where, I believe, and the park is a magnificent example of the ex- pert 4andscaper's art. Acres of yellow, sticky, barren clay have been worked and fertilized, fertilized and worked until, we have, in place of an ugly sea of mud, broad stretches of lawn, beautiful driveways, and a well arranged distribution of garden plots, shrubs and trees. That is an achieve- ment of the Park Board." Then there are the improvements in the harbor at the moufh of the Drainage channel, coupled with the construction of a sightly pier, the work of the Chicago Sanitary Dis- trict, accomplished with the consent of the Park District. Further im- provements along the banks of the channel will include "placing of shrubbery tohideaiv unsightly view. The Wilmette Bathing beach has been maintained for many seasons as one of the most attractive in and about Chicago. Season tickets are sold to bathers, Wilmette residents offered first choice, at a cost suffi- cient, to defray the expense of main- taining the bath houses and other equipment. A policeman is stationed at the Park day and night. - Well Equipped Playground Vattmann Park.__Lake and Park Oh!

AT VILLAGE HALL OFFICES C. W. Hotze, 1229 Hill street, has been added to the corps of clerks at the Wilmette Village hall business offices. . _ Efficient Administration Indications are Wilmette's annual Village election will be wrought with no bitter strife before nor upon the occasiorrof the exercise of the fran- chise privilege such as, for example, have marked previous election days. Leaders in the village, it is stated upon excellent authority, are almost solidly united in the opinion that the re-election of President Edward Zipf is a logical and necessary proced- ure in view of his unquestioned rec ord of efficiency and sound, business- like management of village affairs in the past four years. With Wilmette hopelessly in debt when president Zipf assumed, the rp,in,v.j;h« .viUaaii finds itself today established onV more firm financial basis than ever before in its history, these leaders say, with prospects of absolute free* dom from indebtedness under con- tinued excellent management. Then, too, with election day close at hand President -Zipf-is-"steeped~ ijnTnego- tiations which promise to jresult in an early installation of an adequate electric street lighting system, while other improvements of importance are in prospect. The situation, they aver, recalls Abraham Lincoln's warning in re "swapping horses in midstream." President Zipf has given us a good administration, based on sound business principles. He has conductecMhe village lfoWnmielit~as~ conscientiously__and efficiently as he would his own private business.â€"He- has saved us money. If he consents to continue as our Village Presi- dent he has our undivided support. These sentiments are to be crya» tallized soon inthe circulation of pe- titions endorsing the candidacy of President Zipf to succeed himself as 'â€"-e President. Would Back Millar Along with the endorsement of President Zipf will come the request that Village Treasurer Harry W. Miller consents^ to become a candi- date for re-elecfTon To that impor- tant office. ~ Then there are to be three vacan- cies on the-Board of-Trust^esrnamely William H. Ellis. Joseph H. Heinzen and Edward A. Zimmerman. Ellis, it is understood, will be asked by a representative group »of citizens to offer continued and uninterrupted service to the village as trustee. Heinzen and Zimmerman are said to be contemplating retirement from the board at the expiration of their present terms. Three library trustees are also to be elected^--------â€"â€"-----râ„¢ Petitions for candidates must be fUejljonurubefore April 1. ,,--------â€"*- WILMETTE MASONIC LODGE GUESTS AT CHURCH SERVICE 1essionJs the_cuTminatic^^^mAnjL -^Memfrw ofnfte^WtffflcTte Masonic- Lodge No. 931 A.
