But the thing to an mand ts this-whatever you ll t l' Comfort and Healthful Atmosphere Euential The sleeping porch should be open on three sides, but screened in summer with rustproof screens, and provided in winter with double windows. If it is located ou the second floor of the hou < e it will have greater privacy and less possible annoyance from insects and odors. Th~ floor of the sleeping porch should be treated to avoid leakage of rain ltelow. Cement, stone, wood, tile and brick have all been successfully employed for the purpose. Linoleum and canvas are good floor coverings, as they arc prac · tically waterproof and easily kept clean. The floor should slant slightly to cne edge to drain, and if exposed dir~ctly to the rain, extra wooden slats above the floor will expedite drying. The railing of a sleeping porch !>hould be solid and should reach two or lhree feet from the floor. The open part above should be provided with window sash and awnings or blinds in order th:1t the early morning light may be excluded. The screens need nat interfere with the operation of awnings, as those are available which connect with a crank that works from the inside withoul moving the screen. Leut Poaaihle Equipment The equipment of the sleeping porch should be reduced to a minimum. A built-in bed with large ventilating opening may be placed in a small recess in the wall during the day. But an ordin· ary cot bed is the most practical stationary bed for a sleeping porch. The bed should, of course, be comfortable, and as durable and weather-resisting as possible. A waterproof spread should be part of the equipment, as should also the invaluable sleeping bag for cold weather. Of course an inclosed porch that is practically a bedroom with a large number of windows, may assume in 1ts furnishing something of the ordinary bedroom character and need not have so many weather-proof accessories i; it is not exposed to the weather. A sleeping porch properly planned may have every element of comfort, plus the added advantage o( health(u\ \ivift(5 aud:enc:e under the direction of requested to secure tickets at the Mor ~ore ~- Hanckl.ey, director o.f the class of Ann~ May Swift hall.

A. ROPINSKI No. 2 of a aerie· of atatementa by local citizen· Can You Imagine Wiltnette Without a Church? By WILLIAM A. BRADFORD WITHOUT our churches we could have no Wilmette. Should they all simultaneously cease to exist, your home would immediately be for sale. If you have children you would immediately seek some other community in which to rear them. Why? If Wilmette had had no churches. you and other people like you would never ha\'e selected it for a home, and should it cease to have churches, you and other people like you would abandon it. \Vhether you attend church services or not, you are located among people who do, and who are individually interested in the development of the community. You and they have been attracted by the clean and wholesome living conditions and social benefits, the rapidly advancing property values, the splendid educational facilities, unexcelled in all our country. Under such conditions do intelligent and farl!leeing p op\e !leek t.o ~ake ~heiY h~~ea, a~d their and a· more intimate communion with nature.

In the absence of the church, such conditions would not exist. It has ever been in the van of citizenship, social development and culture. Where the church has not gone, these have been unknown. When considering where to purchase property for home or other purposes you naturally select a community to which other desirable families will be attracted, believing that this will result in enhanced values and congenial companionship. With this in mind, your first choice is always the community of churches, perhaps not for the purpose of being near a church, but because you expect to and do find there the kind of people who make for clean government, wholesome living conditions and desirable associates. This is just what the church has meant and now means to \Vilmette. Its values to the village cannot always be tabulated. They are far-reaching and whether you know it or not those values inure to your benefit both directly and indirectly. The fellow who always gets and never gives is not a good sport.
