THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1921 ILLINOIS REALTORS DISCUSS MANY PLANS â- i • • Stat« Convention of Illinois Real Estate Association Brine* Out Numerous Betterment Project* The recent annual convention of the Illinois Real Estate association held at Peoria was by far the largest and most successful convention participated in by 23 real estate boards from all sections of the state, including the North Shore board. The Peoria board was most ex- travagant in its hospitality and enter- tainment of the visiting delegates. The banquet tendered by the Peoria board at the Jefferson hotel (headquarters of the convention) and the opportunities pro- vided for becoming better acquainted with realtors from all parts of the state were enjoyed by more than 500 visiting delegates. The addresses, of Hon. George C. Gale of Galesburg, Chairman of the Revenue Committee of the Constitu- tional Convention, on "Illinois State Taxation" and that of the Hon. Wm. C. Johnson of Danville on "Our Real Estate License Law" were particularly interesting to every Realtor attending. Talk on Town Planning......... . Mr. Ivan O. Ackley of Chicago gave an illustrated lecture on "Town Plan- ning and Zoning," illustrating the great importance- of zoning. Eighty motion picture slides dealing with the zoning proposition principally in Chicago were shown where neighboring property was greatly depreciated in value and. at times made practically worthless by the mis- placement of improvements. Judge C. T. Northrup of the North Shore Real Estate board represented the Board in the "Five Minute Booster Talk" for the silver cup trophy given by the Danville board and gave many convincing reasons why the north shore -suburbs were the most desirable towns to live in. The Aurora board offered a silver cup to be presented at the next convention to be held in Decatur for the best board attendance. - Important Achievments •••••••• v* > The work being accomplished by -the J State board is of the^Btmost importance; not only to all affiliated boards, but to the public at large, who, through their community boardpare protected from unscrupulous practice and misrepre- sentation on the part of their brokers. The real estate boards throughout the state are of one accord in their purpose and determination to raise the standard of the real estate business and to make it impossible for unscrupulous dealers to operate. . . The Real Estate association of the Sttfte of Illinois was organized in 1917 for the purpose of uniting the real estate dealers in the state for the com- mon good of the profession, 10 main- tain high standards of ethics and to place the profession upon.a foundation of influence and permanence. The North Shore board was organized in 1920 and very shortly afterward became affiliated with the State board. Though still in its infancy the North Shore hoard has already over 50 members comprising, with few exceptions, all brokers operating.north of Evanston. The North Shore'board is at all times willing and anxious to serve in all movement's for the betterment of the community and was organized with that end in view. THEATER GUILD PLAY ' PRONOUNCED SUCCESS "Twelve Hundred a Year* Chran at Winnetks Woman's Club R«ceiv- ed With Encouraging Enthusiasm "Twelve Hundred a Year", the play written by Edna Ferber on "Newman Levy" presented by North' Shore Theater Guild under direction of Mr. "'^"VeeTin 7onnectioirwith Na- Stuart Daley, met with unqualified o f *h,s week m conne ^ THE OPEN FORUM A column devoted to expression* of opion by the readers of The Lake Shore News. "The Lake Shore News, Wilmette, 111. "The Open Forumâ€" "What is the reason for Mr. Zipf's order that the electric cars should not stop at Fourth street? This .is a very poor idea from several standpoints. "A great number of high school stu- dents board the cars at this point. Seems to me these students have suf- fered enough on account of the few and terribly over-crowded cars running on school time, without being obliged to walk two blocks farther to board these cars. Then too, Fourth street, from Central avenue to Linden avenue, is one of the busiest thoroughfares in the village, and. if the cars arr obliged to stop here, it makes for a degree ot safety which should not be overlooked. "From the writer's observation, ex- tending over a period of fifteen years, this particular car line has ever seemed to run its cars more for its own con- venience than for that of its patrons- can it be that Mr. Zipf has any interest in aiding them in carrying out this policy?

It was given Thursday and Friday, Novem- ber 10 and 11, at the Winnetka Wom- an's club and November 12 at the Kenilworth club, in both cases before large and appreciative audiences. Even the mo£t earnest members of the Theater Guild are surprised at the way in which the movement has been received. Memberships continue to pour in from all north shore towns from Evanston to Lake Forest. A capacity house is already assured for Lake Forest November 18 at the Winter club. Tickets were going fast for the performances at the Country club at Evanston, November 19. Ap- parently the Guild will fill a long felt want. Set Lofty Standard A^ standard has been set by the success of the first play which the Guild has every intention of keeping up throughout this season and the seasons to follow. Those who wit- nessed the performance will not soon forget the wholesome argument pre- sented by the various parts of the play and the good laughs afforded by the comedy part. Each member of the cast seemed to be melted into his part. There was understanding, ease and that illusive quality termed "fin- ished" to the whole production. The orchestra under Mr. Arthur Grandquist is contributing no small part to the Guild's success. It is made up of well-known amateur musicians ^Jong-^tne-^rth-shore/^who^ike thr actors of the Guild, give liberally of their time and talent If or the goofckof the cause. The next performance will be given about January 20.

About fifty property owners presented a petition to that effect at the regular meeting of the village board Tuesday. It is said that the property owners affected by the prospective project are now about evenly divided on the propo- sition. Tbe matter will bz reviewed and .the netition considered by the Wilmette Board of Local Improvements at a meeting Tuesday of next week, it is Vaio. t . Conversion of the alley rito a business street would necessitate widening on either side, thus cutting into all the properties abutting on the alley. KIDDIES WIN PRAISE FOR BEAUTIFUL POSTER WORK N.

In no other community in the country are the people more ap- preciative of educational advantages than they are in our own township.
