Hotae Win* Promotion; Hear Reports •* Various Village Departments Bip things may be expected from Wilmette'a newly convened Board of Trustees if last Tuesday's Board ses- tion is to be taken as an indication of the keen interest to be displayed in village affairs. The new board, old members and those only recently elected, was on the job long before 8 o'clock Tuesday and ready for busi- ness The formal installation occupied but a short time and the business of the evening was entered into with a zest that implies President Zipfs "business" policies will be followed otttftQ^he;,prpyferbial letter. Approve Appointments The most important business of the evening was the reappointment and approval by the board of the various village officers. One change was ef- fected when Charles E. Hotze, was named Village Collector. Mr. Hotze has been employed in the bookkeep- ing department of the village offices for several months and has establish- ed a reputation for efficiency that has found its reward in a well-earned promotion. „ Reappointments were made and ap- RESIDENTS LAUNCH IMPROVEMENT BODY Movement Starts on Wâ€"t lido VaaieeLChoir of St. Augustine's Where Home Owners Band To- gather For Mutual Protection Wilmctte's west side, the part of the village that is in the building, ap- pears to be thoroughly awakened to its possibilities and the necessity at this stage in its rapid development for some organization of citizens that will have the purpose of maintaining the high character of the community, and safeguarding property values and proper environment to the indi- vidual home owners. One hundred citizens of the west side met at Wilmette community House Monday evening, on twenty- four hours' notice, discussed in detail the plans for an improvement organ- ization and went to the extent of ap- pointing a committee on by-laws and organiaztion with Paul A. Hoffman, 1638 Washington avenue, recently elected Wilmette Village trustee, as chairman. Other members of ^the committee are A. E. Rouland, 1534 Highland avenue, Shelby C. Jones, 1509 Spencer avenue, John Steffens, 1611 Washington avenue, Harry M. Bachmann, 1249 Hill street. BOY SCOUTS HONORED AT THE SUNDAY CLUB lurch To Provide Special Music; Dr. H. W.

Of unusual interest to the Board of Trusties and the visitors at the ses- sion were the various reports ofythe Village departments. These reports are considered as of such general in- terest in the village as to warrant publication in full as follows: (minus the Health Department report which arrived too late for this issue jand will I>c published in next weeks issue of The Lake Shore News). Immediate Action While an association of citizens has been contemplated for some time it is said that recent action of a real estate broker in placing a residence, at Highland avenue near Fifteenth street, at the disposal of certain per- sons said not to have met with the approval of the majority of residents in the vicinity, actually prompted th«* immediate steps toward formulation ot an organization for "mutual pro- tection and for the general good of the community and village at larice." Citizens who attended the Monday evening session stated that, following a discussion of the incident with the owner of the property in question, they ; were advised that the matter would be remedied as soon as pos- sible. .There was considerable heated discussion and several staid citizens waxed wroth in commenting on the situation. Chairman Hoffman of the session, however, proved an able parliamentarian and was successful in preserving the celebrated "peace". • A second session of citizens is scheduled for next week the exact date not as yeL announced. The By- laws committee is expected to make^ a Co-Operating Churches To Submit Nominations For Executive Com- mittee of 20 v â€"â€" Boy Scout week will be celebrated in Wilmette next week, beginning with special services on May 1 at the Wilmette Sunday Evening club. The whole country is giving over the week to the welfare of boys and Boy Scout work, and in keeping with the policy of helping in community enterprises, the Sunday Evening club has invited Dr. H. W. Hurt, Boy Scout executive for Chicago, to make the address of the evening. „__ln_jview of the character of the services, it was deemed fitting that the vested boy choir of St. August- ine's church, composed of 25 of the boy singers of Wilmette, should sup- ply the vocal music. The Wilmette troops of the Boy Scouts will at- tend the services in a body, and Boy Scouts will be ushers. • - - McClure Names Committee At the meeting" of the Sunday Evening club last Sunday, by popular vote president W. F. McClure was authorized to appoint a nominating committee composed of at least one member from each of the churches in Wilmette and Kenilworth, which are co-opeTattng"iTrThe~Sunday Evening club movement. This committee will Wild gesticulations and strange ac- tions on the part of some of our staid and honored citizens have caused many of their friends undue concern. It is only a part of the training that Captain Gapen has been giving his baseball nine, the "Dads," in prepa- ration for the big game with the "Boy's" team to be played on the playground of the First Congrega- tional church next Saturday after- noon. It has not been announced who will occupy the "box, but local fans are promised that "Home Run" Rossman, "Ty" Crossley, and "Speed" Irvine will perform. "Babe" Roth will occupy the. center position ready to chase all balls batted over the fence. "Chief" Glover. "Tris" Caldwell, and "Grover Cleveland" Macalister are some of the other favorites in the lineup. Rev. Lloyd, of New York Bush League fame, will umpire. Captain Seibold. of the "HnvV' team,"TS confident that there "Won1! be a chance for the-'BadV" if he can give his team a little more practice on the field. The weather, however, continues to p'ay jokes on the play- ground^fans. The waterthalJiai *er_ fused toHfreeze all winter, now re- fuses to leave the field. The boys and girls still have faith that the weather man will give them a warm day. The game between the "Dads" and the "$oys" is but one of the big events scheduled to* take place. Games for everyone are announced and it is quite possible that the moth- ers will teach the girls how they used to play "drop the handkerchief" or "ring around the rosie."

Sheri- dan road and Linden avenue, was drowned in the Chicago Sanitary drainage channel Monday night. The body was recovered near the pump- «ne station early Tuesday morning by Sanitary District police. Gorman, an electrician employed by the contractor in charge of foundat- ion construction on the temple, was thought to bav*. fa"en into the chan- nel while reconnoitering to locate trouble in the lighting system which provides illuminationTor the night work on the temple. His cries for help were heard by fellow workmen and employes at the pumping station, who searched vainly for the source of the shouts of distress. . . „. Gorman recently was married.

It is John, the tatterdemalion, and his pirate crew of four made a wonder- ful discovery one day. John found a key that unlatched the secret of a new world chuck full of new things dear to "the "heart of the inventive urchin. The lads delved deeply into the innermost realms of the treasure land and came back to the world of reality with a veritable Captain Kidd layout, including in its compendious accoutrements a generous supply of the kitchen and household equipment of the Arden Shore Rest Camp. Then the crew members arrived at cross purposes and John called off the expedition. "When I told them they had done wrong/had taken property not their own, had committed what was equiv- alent to house-breaking, they were simply horrified, shocked," said Miss Annabelle Ferrier, director of Arden Shore. They were not bad boys, just red blooded American chaps who had had their first taste of real life, the life of the great out-of-doors, far away from the dismal squalor of their lenemenl_horaes.â€"-â€"*â€"â€"=------â€"--------â€"- A Glimpse of Life It is difficult to comprehend the emotions of the little fellow who for the first time is taken along that beautiful winding trail that leads to broad expanses .of meadow, woodland OLD TOWN HALL WRECKED BY FLAMES: LAST MONDAY also rumored that the "sandwich and, by devious ways, to the wonder man" will be on- hand with a good of wonders, the great reaches of the iwlsaid' .mmr^^-**?'. *â„¢--r*w? ; ;; - â- *?

Early Monday morning marked the passing of Wilmette's o*d Town Hall on East Railroad avenue when flames completely wrecked the ancient struc- ture which years ago was the scene of ail community affairs^ council ses- sions, dances, parties and public gath- erings. The building was a furnace of flames before neighbors notified the fire department. The structure, which in recent years had been utilized as a carpenter shop, had been vacant for two years. It was thought the blaze may have been of incendiary origin being one of a series of recent con- flagrations in barns and garages the nature of which led firemen to be- lieve a firebug had been responsible. The Town Hall formerly stood at Wilmette and Central avenues on the site of the Renneckar Drug company.

Thev call it charity to give the little fellows a chance, a bit of a boost along life's rugged highway. Don't you see that it's just a plain dutv and a wonderful' privilege, as- well, to be able to help along the larl who has never known, what it means to be really well, and to play amid health-bestowing and whole- some surroundings? Arden Shore is doing constructive and instructive welfare work. It is not a reform school It is not disci- olinary. though kindness and medical aid and oroper care brings out the good and suppresses the undesirable traits. It is not a work house, though the boys are eager to help, in their way. with the daily tasks; it is not a school, though a few hours of each day are devoted to elementary- hr^ struction by trained and efficient teachers that will be a great aid to the boys when they go out to the positions awaiting. Not coercive measures, but the effective indirect met hods are transforming potential anarchists who hate because they have never known true happiness, in- to loyal and law-abiding American- citizens.____ __; The Real Value i_ The dollar and cents value of Ar- den Shore is of least importance.
