Bntered at the postomce at Wilmette, DUnol., as mall matter of the second claa., under the act ot March I, 1879. FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 1924 May, Joseph Bauer, <J.nd George Diettrich. The youngest of the trio, Joseph Bauer, was seventy. The oldest, George Diettrich, was ninety-five. Mr. May came to Wilmette in 1852. Mr. Diettrich came to Glencoe in his early childhood, s,omewh~re about 1835. For us these men are links between the present age of electricity and the aboriginal Indian. These "forefathers of the hamlet" recall the dav when the North · "ld Shore was a primeval Wt erness and when the howling of real wolves chilled the lonely hearts of the pioneer. The "last leaves" are falling. CONGRATULATIONS We congratulate the Presbyterian church on the completion of its second unit, consisting of a Sunday School room accommodating five hundred, a kitchen, up to date in all its appointments, and a commodious study for the pastor In the twelve years qf its life in Wilmette the Presbyterian church has had an encouraging gr.owth, having doubled its membership. The. increase of its influence on the life of the community can not be measured in figures, not even though it's a fact that the fund for benevolences has trebled within these dozen years. In accordance with the present demand, provision has been made for physical, dramatic, and the various other kinds of recreational agencies. ~t is a sign of the det~rminati.on of the modern church to meet the needs ofAmerican democracy. It is an evidence that church and community are co-operating. SefJarate the Grades. £,.force the Traffic La.ws. Build the Truck Road. PUT YOURSELF IN HIS PLACE The c )rated novelist, Charles Reade wrote an influential novel en tit krl "Put yourself in his place." ln it he made a modern application of the Golden Rule. It's a most interesting story, s.o well told that the moral won't annoy you. What brought the title of this book to our m\nd was the item in a recent copy of WILMETTE LIFE telling of a dinner to be given at the First Congregational Church at which the men were to act as waiters. Since the world began, :_tlmost, this privilege has been given to women. In fact, this custom of women serving has been so deeply ingrained by long unbroken usage· that in many countries such as Germany and "~ TIIREE TIIINGS."
