Gnest. of the VUlsfO off Glencoe Monday Evening Hiof Several Speakers Ti\ reduction on properties in New Trj;r township, the proposition of nroiccting a boulevard through the Ikokie valley to relieve traffic con- gestion in the nortn shorei villages, fnd the new law requiring the licens- inc of real estate brokers, were sub- Sets of discussion at a meeting of the Worth Shore Real Estate board, Mon- Jay evening of this week at Glen- iables, Glencoe. Fnjoying a dinner at Glengables as £,ests of H. W. Butler and the Vil- ee of Glencoe, the members of the board heard and discussed matters of interest to every resident of New Trier township. Following an introductory address by Frederick W. Penfield, president of the Village of Glencoe, who out- lined some of the possibilties of New Trier township, and stressed the need for unified action by the citizens of the township, H. W. Butler, Glencoe Building Commissioner siave an inter- esting and enlightening talk on zon- ing, the future of the Skokie, and means of reducing taxes in the town- ship. Much Delinquent Property Relative to tax reduction he declar- ed that on more than 1,000 pieces of property in New Trier township no taxes and no special assessments were being paid, these being per- mitted to go as delinquent. Accord- ingly, he pointed out, other properties in the township are taxed correspond- ingly higher in order to raise the re- quired sums. The board appointed a committee to investigate the tax situation and report on the feasbility of clearing up the titles on delinquent properties so that they might be purchased by responsible persons who would keep up the taxes and special assessments. On Mr. Butler's suggestion that the township build a highway through the Skokie valley the board named another committee to "work towards the securing of a boulevard through the Skokie valley and thus - alleviate some of the congestion along the lake shore." Explains License Law Gilbert D. Johnson, north shore realtor and member^ of the board, spoke next on "The Licensing of Brokers", a subject of particular in- terest to realtors at this time in view of the fact that beginning January 1, 1922, every person engaged in the real estate business will be required by state law to be equipped with a pub- lic office in which to do business, to have a state license, and to pay an annual fee to the state, or be liable to a fine or imprisonment, or both. The next meeting of the North Shore Real Estate board is scheduled for the second Monday in January at -which time tne annual election of of- ficers will provide the important busi- ness. . .i. The North Shore board, less than two years old, now has a membership of sixty real estate brokers in the township and applicatons for six new memberships were received at tne meeting Monday evening. SELL NEW SUBDIVISION IN LESS THAN ONE DAY What is considered a record in north shore real estate transactions was ac- complished recently by M..E. Bark- er and company, realtors, in selling the entire new subdivision, formerly the Shaver property, within a period of 24 hoars. The property, including 19 lots, bounded by Third street Grcnleaf avenue and the Drainage chattel, was plaved on the market at S o'clock Thursday afternoon, De- cember 1, and at noon on the follow- ing day the entire subdivision was sold. It is interesting from an adver- tiser's point of view to note that The Lake Shore News, bearing earliest in- formation of the prospective property sale, appeared in the homes of the^ village early Friday morning.

You Can't Go Wrong If You Watch the Ads |Ja Plea For SantajS By Luise Clarke-Hawley This is" the season when the old, old tale is told of Santa CI a us in his sleigh, urging his reindeer over the housetops that he may descend each chimney and fill the stockings hung in the fireplace on Xmas Eve. Per- haps, if a vote could be taken, this myth would be found to be the one, out of all fairy-lore, that lies closest to every little child's heart. Can't you remember the breath-taking thrill with which you once listened to "The Night before Christmas"? Drop into any kindergarten; the vision of eager faces and shining eyes as the teacher begins in a tone of hushed mystery: "Twas the Night before Christmas, And all through the House, Not a creature was stirringâ€" Not even a Mouse"â€" â€"will tak*» you back over the years to the wonder-time of unlimited an- ticipation. But "how often have you heaid Hdoj brothers and sisters sneeringly break down all a child's illusions*of Christ- mas Eve? Then his grief and di<- appoinment is so poignant that any parent may well be dismayed at the task of putting "Humpty Dumnty to- gether again". To those whose men- tal adaptability is such that they can reason upon a child's plane of thought is given the. blessed opportunity not only t.j restore the halo of benevol- ence about »St. Nicholas' white head, but to Krant the little one a vision of the Santa Claus spirit. For, oh! my friends, there is a Santa Claus. He lives in our hearts, and to the de- gree that we are able to visualize and appreciate his true character, just so much are we able to reflect his unselfishness and loving giving at Christmas time. When the illusion of Santa Claus is shattered (as it must be in every child's ^cperience) won't you j-ebuild it into a real and vital symbol of human friendliness that a child can make a part of his mental and spirit- ual growth, gaining fresh inspira- tion for unselfish giving with each succeeding Xmas tide?
