Christmas for these youngsters means a wonderful train ride to that wonderful place called Wilmette, where the people are 80 kind and thoughtful and open their homes for a few hours on Christmas Monday to the little fatherless and motherless kiddies at Lake Bluff. â- ' This year the Orphans' Christmas is in charge of the Wilmette Meth- odist church and under direct super- vision of Mrs. Gilbert Stansell, wife of the pastor* A phone call to Mrs. Stansell at Wilmettef 2584, will bring into your home one, two, three, four or more of the children whom you are asked to entertain for a few hours on Christ- mas Day.

Established Custom ^ Bringing the orphans to Wilmette on Christmas is a custom, established by The Lake Shore News several years ago.

Arden Shore Lade Need Warm Shoe* ACTION AT JOINT ZONING SESSION TERMED INSULT TO HOME OWNERS Does anyine want to help give t'.ie Arden Shore boys a Merry Christ- mas? If so some stout shoes and boys' clothing would be most wel- come. • • - ' . â-  John Kâ€" is sixteen years old and is "over the top" in weight. He wants to get a job but his clothes arc so shabby that he is afraid no one will take him. John has no home, no father or mother, no one in the world in fact, who belongs to him. He is willing and eager to work and he is well and strong now after his weeks at the camp. In order that he may remain so, he will be kept at Arden Shore until he can be suitably placed, but some better clothes would help him qnite a lot. Can anyone give John some clothes jjr a job?â€" There are three other boys who will be ready to leave in about a month. They also, have no homes and no families. Can anyone help them to find jobs? Many of the boys need shoes. The camp budget does not allow for shoes and the boys' parents are supposed to provide them but-some of-these other boys have no parents and^ some have parents so very poor or with so many children that it is a hard task to find shoes for all of them. One of the best things a boy gets at Arden Shore is his exercise and play out of doors. For this heavy shoes are a necessity. The boys are from 14 to 16 years ^>f age, but many of them are small ^iFor their years. New shoes or those slightly worn will be most gratefully received. • .

Majority Favor* Industrial Section Along Greater Portion of West Railroad Avenue; "Home Owners Will Fight", Says Hoffman Dr. Butler Memorial Services Her& Sunday Former Associate* and Many Friends on the North Shore to Honor Physician's Memory One thousand home owners on Wil- mette's west side may be wondering today just what a petition is worth in so far as the Wilmette Zoning com* mission and the Village board is con- cerned. ' That number of property owners signed a petition some months ago requesting that no industries be per- mitted on the west side when the proposed Zoning ordinance is adopted. TTieir hopes in that connection ap- peared blasted this week when, at a joint session of the Wilmette Zoning commission and the Village board, a vote showed the combined bodies as standing 9 to 3 in favor of light in- dustries along West Railroad avenue, between Lake and Central avenues, and between Wilmette and Oakwood avenues.------------------------- With Judson F. Stone, chairman of the Zoning commission, absent from the meeting, the session voted unofficially as follows: Zoning Commission For Industrial district on West Railroad avenue: Lyman M. Drake W. C.

The Wilmette Improvement ?$socat»oev through its president, Paul A. Hoff- man, this week secured from Quintan ami Tysoavtk* use of tse vacant prop- erty not final and definite, the. sentiment expressed in the vote, leaders on the west side declare, indicates that the interested home owners in that sec- tion have not been considered seri- ously by a majority of the Zoning commission and Village board and that little of benefit to . the west side can be expected if the matter rests with those who are formulating the Zoning ordinance. "I consider the action at the Wednesday evening, meeting as an insult to every residence property owner on the west side," said Trustee Paul Hoffman today. "Mean. A Fight" "This means a fight, and you can be assured the west side residents will fight. If Wilmette is to be given such a Zoning ordinance the west side property owners will employ every means within their rights to see that it doesn't stand. Court action may be necessary, but I am positive west side home owners will stand firmly on their rights even if such measures ap- pear necessary." "It is gratifying to note that cer- tain officials are considerate of the rights and feelings of the home own- ers. While prepared to have a por- tion of West Railroad avenue zoned as commercial they, by their vote, have expressed themselves as unfa- Their action is particularly commend- able in view of a situation wherein an official, holding a place .on the Village board by grace of voters of the west side, voted to permit indus- tries. ~~~°Z "Why an industrial district," any- way? I. for one, cannot for the life of me see the need of such a district in Wilmette. The future? Let the Board of Appeals take care of the future. Let us zone for today and in the interests of the community as a whole, which is strictly residential in character. This is not a factory town.

[in favor of a light industrial district along West Railroad avenue, while averse to being quoted definitely at this time, because the vote was not final or binding, asserted they be- lieved the steady growth of Wilmette indicated the necessity for an extend- ed light industrial area and that the very character of certain blocks in West Railroad avenue, where there are greenhouses, a fire station, a car- penter shop, coal offices, a warehouse and contractors' offices, made it ob- vious that tile street within those blocks was the logical location for a light industrial district. . ?Kay^!^«»M. was not inw tended to be discriminatory but was. rather m the interests of the village as a whole, as well as in consideration of certain rights of the ownersâ„¢ £?*?* °* thK street intervening WILMETTE MASONIC LODGE INSTALLS NEW OFFICERS evening.
