Favorable action on the formulation of a Wi lmette committee was taken this week by the Wilmette Optimist club, the Rotary club having given approval to the project several weeks ago. It was expected that the Wilmette Post of the American Legion would act upon the matter at an early date. Preliminary organization in the village contemplates the forming of a committee comprising members from the Rotary and Optimist clubs and the American Legion post, as recommended by Francis D. Chadwick, field man for the Boy Scouts of America in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin, who recently presented the plan of a North Shore council before the Rotary club. Fona Loc:al Committee Rotary club members of the prospective local committee are Frank A. Wilson, ]. R. Harper, Rev. Stephen A. Lloyd, C. E. Renneckar and Dr. M. C. Hecht. The Optimist members of the committee had · not been announced late this week. In addition to the committee taken from the memberships of the three lponsoring organizations-Rotary, Optimist aud Legion-it is recommended by Mr. Chadwick that one person be chosen from each church and civic organization essential to make the local unit entirely representative. It is recommended, then, that this group of men meet and organize a committee of control, appointing a chairman, vice chairman, secretary, treasurer and deputy scout commissioner, as well as co'!lmittee chairman on finance, troop orga.mzation, camping, publicity, civic serv1ce, and such other committees as shall appear necessary. Power to Act Mr. Chadwick further recommen~d that this local committee of control 1Je accorded the right to take offic1al action in the matter of entering the North Shore council and accepting the share of the budget determined for Wilmette, that budget to be worker) out and approved by a committee representative of all the contmittec~ entering the North Shore council, the share for each commw1ity to be determined by that committee. Organization of the N )rth Shore council would mean the retention of a full-time, salaried Scout Executive, such as are now retained in Evanston. Waukegan and other communities throughout the United States.

The term "extended" is employed "dvisedly in this connection for Mr. Orner spent parts of two whole days away from his offices in the Chicago and North Western station-an exasperatingly long absence for friend Earl. Then, as if to get some real rest out of his abbreviated holiday, Earl took along seven companions-two auto loads, to be exact-and spent most of the time showing them the sights in the old home town. including such interesting places as the ol' swimmin' hole, the family weedshed (in sequence), the cow pasture and the never-to-be-forgotten boyhood hunting ~ nd fishing grounds. The party included Ira Iverson, Ralph Orner, Harley Long. Orville Jones, Paul Kehling, l'aul :\. Hoffman and Charles Brandt. The "boys" met Earrs father. who. by the way, has heen a village father at Franklin Grove for many years, and got right well acquainted with the leading lights of the hamlet.

For the past two seasons subscriptions to these events given by the Symphony players under the au spices of the New Trier Township Orchestral association ha,·e been closed far in advance of the season. The capacity of the auditorium was fully subscribed for the present season last spring. Due, however, to removals from the north shore villages. and delays on the part of some old subscribers in taking up their tickets. there arc enough available tickets at this writing to offer them to the large waiting list. This is being done this week, and the management expects a rush which will clean up the last ticket within a few days. Tickets were reserved for old subscribers up to last Monday, but now it is a case of first come, first served. Newcomers to north shore commun ities are advised that, if after giving those on the waiting list a fair Ot>portunity to take up tickets there are any still avaitablehnotlc:e will be given through the nort shore papers next week. The program for the first concert to be given Monday evening. October 6. will be played by 45 musicians.

The council also gives the individual organizations the benefits of constant contact with a highly trained executive who will devote his entire time to north shore Scout activity. It is stated that all the north shore Scout organizations have given sanction to the establishment of a North Shore Scout council. On Thursday evening, Septembt>r 18, WHmette Lodge No. 931, A.
