METTE, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1923 TWENTY PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS CALL CITIZENS TO TOWN PARLEY Annual New Trier Town Meeting Scheduled to be Held on April 3 A UNIQUE GATHERING Session Devoid of Election This Year 4 DANFORTH GOES TO KENILWORTH PARISH BY LELAND V. PIERSON (Town Clerk) The citizens of the Town of New Trier will turn back to a relic of colonial days when they assemble in the annual town meeting next month. The meeting this year, which is set by law for April 3, will be held at 2 o'clock in the afternoon at the. Win- jnetka Community House. Ordinarily, Town officers are held the same day, but there being no officers to elect, the meeting will be the only activity of a political nature occuring in the Town on this date. Select Moderator One of the electors present will be chosen as Moderator, more common- ly known as Chairman, and the meet- ing will then proceed to hear the re- ports of the various Town officials. In the early days, as mentioned before, >wn meeting was a most im- portant affair, as it was at this gath- ering that the citizens met, discussed and conducted the business of the Town. Questions which were then of great moment to the residents have now to a large extent diminished in importance and little ,if anyy'{nought or attention is given to the meetings held today. The attendance is usually limited to the Town officers, those who by chance happen to be at the meeting place, and a few ultra-patri- otic citizens who make the effort to Rev. Leland Hobart Danforth, who for the past ten months has been the curate of St. Augustine's Episcopal church of Wilmette, Rev. Hubert Carleon, rector, has accepted the call to the rectorship of the Church of the Holy Comforter, at Kenilworth. Mr. Danforth will continue to de- vote a portion of his time each week to St. Augustine's parish, remaining there in the capacity he now holds. He will also continue to make his resi- dence at 1126 Wilmette avenue. Mr. Danforth was recently honored by,the Wilmette Post of the American Legion which elected him post chap- lain. He was a first lieutenant in the, Blackhawk division in the late war and saw more than a year's ser- vice overseas. He is a graduate of the Western Theological seminary, Chicago, and formerly attended Howe Military Academy, Howe, Indiana, the Uni- versity of Genoble, France, and Ken- yon College, Gambier, Ohio. Mr. Danforth has achieved great popularity in the Wilmette parish and "Rules and regulations govern ttje building of railroads, bridges and ma- terial things, but for the building of life and character, we mutt trust tO unseen forces," declared ^Prr~ E. D. Soper of Northwestern university in speaking to more than 150 Jx>ys at the opening session of the North Shore Older Boys' conference h$td iff the" be present. Whije this situation is to First Baptist church of Evansfon last be regretted/ thews seems to be *©f Friday. - =Dr. Soper expla^mldiiDbiluS remedy for conditions existing . to- day which have caused the change. v Seek Large Attendance The election laws require the Town Clerk to post notices of the annual meeting in each election district in the Town, as well as to print a like notice in a newpaper circulated in the Town, and in the past complaint has been made that the newpapers place their news items on the front pages and hide away the paid notices in the inside, wliere the busy reader fails to comprehend their importance. The Clerk, therefore, has requested the publishers of the local papers to give this article a conspicuous place in the present issue ,in order that the unifor- mation may have as widespread circu- lation as possible. It is hoped that a goodly number of New Trier citizens "both men and women,""will arrarigeTo" attend the meeting this year. Husbands Are Guests At North End Circle Feast The members of the North End ' Circle of the First Congregational church entertained their husbands Thursday evening, March 15, at the home of Mrs. J. A.

A. M., appointed a "Ways and Means" committee to co* operate with Wilmette Lodge No. 931, in what it is hoped will result in the building of a Masonic temple in Wilmette. In order to consider this proposi- tion from every angle the first thing his many friends congratulate the Jfte conwmttee p^roposes to do is to ^^ 1, arish in havi^^ address how all the changes and de velopment of character are influenced by these factors. He gave two talks at the second session of the conference on Saturday. "Life, as in any athletic sport, is a team game," said Coach Glenn F.

The entire proceeds from the recital were directed into the fund to be utilized in erecting college buildings on the new JEvanston-Wil- mette campus of the institution. Mr. Lusk's contribution to the school was the more acceptable in view of the fact that he volunteered his services immediately upon his re> turn from an extended concert tour of the east. Mr. Lusk, who is a pupil of the great Seveik, teacher of Kubelik and Morini, has decided to accept student* in violin during his season at home in Wilmette. This is considered a splendid opportunity; for ambitious vi- olinists to acquire the most approved and scientific methods. Mr. Lusk's studio is at his Michigan avenue home. It is interesting to know that Mr. Lusk is appearing frequently on KYW Radio programs in Chicago.

Miss Bernice Bulley of "New Trier spoke ojiI"In Our Sch^orLife:*' Tell- ing of some of the temptations to spend time wastefully in class, she said, "The place to drawâ€"the line on what to do or not to 0do, is where it starts." Recreations, -friendships, and social standards, were some of the things touched upon by Mrs. W. T. Powell. "When a man says that a girl only thinks of three things, 'boys, clothes and dates/ he is reflecting on her character." She said that it was nat- ural for a girl to be interested inTall of these things, but that they should not be exclusive of everything else.
