CENTSglllJi MINUTE MEN IN WILMETTE DRIVE Set Goal of 1,000 Members in Village-Wide House-to- House Campaign SET FORTH PLATFORM Captain Millar Ready to Re- ceive Applications Tuesday, September 4, signalized the launching' of the big drive to place the membership of Wilmette Company, Minute M-en of the Constitution over the 1,000 mark. An intensive house-to started whichâ€"ts- houseâ€"canvassâ€"was expected to have the result of enlist- ing the support of every man and wo- man in the village in this great or- ganization, fathered last spring by Gen. Charles G. Dawes and which has since spread into every section of the country claimingJiunxlrxdiL oi thous_-. ands of citizens in its ranks. Not Political Unit "Wilmette should enroll enthusi- astically in the Minute Men of the Constitution," says one of the local leaders in the movement. "Every man and woman of -voting age who believes in good government should make^fche effort to aid in tjiis move- ment by signing up as a member at once. There are no clues, the work being carried on by voluntary contri- butions. The organization is non- partizan, non-sectarian, and is not iiv the interest of any individual can- didacy in either party. "It is only by organized effort that conditions threatening the safety of our constitutional government can be corrected; the individual is helpless to combat the aggressive minority as- sociations which today are undermin- ing the fundamental principles of the republic. Citizens of Wilmette need ,Viave ncTTiesriancy in getting %ehirtd ' this movement, which, beginning this week, is to be-iroslietf vigorously. At the present time the Evanston Com- pany of the Minute Men has 8000 members, the Winnetka Company 800 members, and Glencoe 700 mem- bers. On a proportionate basis the Wilmette Company should have over 1000 members at the conclusion of the enrollment drive." Minute Men Platform The following is the platform of the Minute Men : The Minute Men of the Constitution is a non- partizan association, organ- ized to obtain delegates froni Illinois to the Republican and Democratic State and National Conventions pledged to support the inclusion of the following planks in the platform of each party : 1. Advocating the renewal and building up of respect for law and the Constitution of the United States. 2." Condemning all influences and -agencies which breed class or re- ligiotis discriminations.___________ ?. ^Recognizing the right of the in- dividual to associate with others to defend within the law his rights and advance his economic, social and political interests. 4. Endorsing the announced posi- tion of the Government of the United States, maintaining that the right of a citizen to work without unlawful interference ^is as sacred as the right of a cit- izen to cease work, irrespective v of whether he is or is not a mem- ber of a labor or other organ- ization. 5. Declaring that loyalty to the Government of the United States must be above and beyond that to any civil or industrial organ- ization working for the interest of special groups or classes* All persons of voting age who en- dorse the foregoing platform are in- vited to send in their names to Leslie W. Millar, Captain Wilmette. Com- pany No. 4, 510 Washington avenue" Wilmette, by letter or telephone. HIGH SCHOOL YE AR BEGINS SEPTEMBER 17 Monday, September 17, is the day, -and--&430--A. M^-4he- hour -©f-the-operr^ ing of the J923r24 term at New-Trier Township High school, according to an announcement from the offices of the school registrar. Registration for the new term was in progress four days this week and all that will be necessary on opening day is the assigning of students to their classes. Because of limited facilities at the high school, the board of education has found it advisable to restrict admit- tance to resident pupils. Tuition pupils, of which there have been a number each year, coming from Evanston, Chicago and other nearby communities, - will not be^accepted_jejKcept iji^uch^instances as- the board, in its judgment deems ad- visable. Registration this week did not pre- sent such a serious problem as in fprmex years, by reason" of the fact that prac- tically all of the students attending last year registered at the close of the 1922- 23 tei BACK TO SCHOOL MONDAY MORN New School Structures Still Under Construction Vacation days will be but a pleasant memory next Monday when _ several thousand Wilmette, Kenilworth and Gross Point children begin their studies for the 1923-24 school year. Everything is in readiness for the opening day. School rooms have been thoroughly renovated, heating plants overhauled and grounds put in ship- shape appearance so that matters will hum from the moment the youngsters enter their classrooms. Considerable difficulty ^Tn housing the pupils of the Wilmette schools is an- ticipated, until that tim£ when the new tmildhig ;imtiwP CbrMtrti^olf^^^'Se^l^- teenth street and Washington avenue is completed. The structure is now being put under roof and it is expected that from now on the-work will pro^ gress rapidly. The nqw playground adjoining ,the school property is ready for use by the children and is gradually getting its final touches. When completed this mu- nicipal playground will be one of the finest and most completelv equipped public recreation centers in the vicinity of Chicago. At Kenilworth workmen are still en- gaged on the new wing of the Sears school, expected to be completed within a few months. Tire housing problem there is likewise quite acute. RESUME CHURCH AD ENTERPRISES Seven Wilmette Churches Combined in 40-Week Advertising Plan EFFECTIVE CAMPAIGN ANNJNG HOME SOLD* ^ TO Movement Started Here Had Spread Over Nation This week's issue of The Lake Shore Ne\vs contains the Church Pages, de- voted to the communky church adver- ttsement~ari'd announcements of services and various parish activities m the seven church^ organizations corr,bined m the Wilmette Church Union. Beginning with this issue and con- tinuing over forty successive weeks the Church Pages will be found as a regu- lar department of The Lake Shore News. The Community Church Advertising pla%- ^mique m newspaper annals, ^var launched three years ago in The Lake Shore News and since has become the model for similar successful ventures in scores of communities throughout the United States and certain cities in Canada. â€" ~ Common Church Publicity Instead of employing the customary method of having each church advertise individually^ WiImette ^hurehes-~~three years ago decided to utilize, the advertis ing columns of The Lake Shore News in common. Men schooled in the adver- tising profession and affiliated with local churches were combined intoxa' com- mittee and a series of forceful, timely ads were produced for publication. At times the ads were written by ministers, at other times laymen were the copy writers; all of the advertisements, how- ever, came under the careful scrutiny of the committee of experts. The Community^~Ad plan, leaders in ,*he^arious churches.,.will testify, ha,$, borne rich fruit. Not only h&s it in- creased attendance and fostered greater interest generally in local crrarCh ac- tivities, but it has helped the Wilmette Church Union to communicate directly to the Wilmette public the bigger work of the Church, that reaches^ beyond the parish into the community,, the nation and the world. Seven Churches Interested Churches which have found the Church Ad in The Lake Shore News an ef- fective publicity medium include The First Congregational church, The Wil- mette Baptisr church, St. John's" Tu- theran church. The Wilmette Parish Herbert M. Anning. connected with - tEeT John - V. Farwell company for the last Torty^two years, and now in Cali- fornia on account of his health, has sold his residence at 744 Prospect ave^ nue, Winnetka, at the northwest cor- ner of Humboldt avenue, to Mrs. John P. Norlingv of 50O7 Grand boulevard, for $6S,000, according to„^he Winnetka office of Hfll & Stone, Which negotiated the sale. The property fronts 178 feet on Pros- pect and is 278 feet wide in the rear. iv is improved with a brick colonial residence. As soon as Mr. Aiming finds a house to his liking on the coast Mrs. Anning will join him. Mrs. Nor- hng will not take possission until January-~tr ~ WILMETTE AIDS â€"MfflrREEIEF Church Council Calls Upon Citizens to_Help » _ Wilmette stands* ready to help when an appeal to alleviate the suf- fering and hunger of a stricken peo- ple is sounded.
