May 6, 1927 · WI L M E T T E ·L 1 F ~ Srouh'Cka~~ Campaign Aims at '~ Village Beautiful ~~ ~ ~~~~~··> . . · (Continued from page 8) 1 \\'hen you leave for school in the morning and at noon, on Tenth. and Lake there is a stone fence put there ·to keep the children from breaking tht> branches of the shrubs. Some children tltink it was put there for a different ·1·ttrpose they walk on top of the fence ;llld if they start to fall they would naturally grab hold of the branches and sometimes they break. If you come through the alley there is a plumber's . ., hop and boys break the windows. The old man that runs that shop can't afford to be paying for windows all the rim~: he has got to make a living, and "'-'sHies, that starts had citizenship. \\'lien you arc on the school ground~ ·!on't break the empty milk bottles. · \Vhen you are in a hurry you will rross a lawn to save a few steps. Why ruin a beautiful lawn, just to save a fe\\' steps? If you do all things right that I have mentioned, \'Ott will have a btatttiful \Vilmette. -Martin Johnson-8A. Mother---- the Center of Family Church Life Sunday, May 8th is designated as Mothers· Day . None but she knows the countless days of an·xiety nor the endless sacrifices mother has made for you. Have you always measured up to her fond hopes for you? She loves the church because it nurtures the principles of right living, magnificent cha·r ity ·and compassion to others. What a glorious privilege, then, is yours to give ·o f yourself to the church that has its foundation tn the love for Him we hail as the Risen Christ! Next Sunday, do special honor to Mother Love by attendance at the church of your choice. Tell the Other Fellow As \Vilmette is one of the most beau tiiul north shore suburbs. we all want · to ktep it that way or make it as much better as possible. If you remember we arc trying to make Wilmette beautiful it will nut be hard to. h·cp from crqssing lawns, breaking he dges, throwing- rubbish on the streets and ~o on. lf ~·o u sec people doing these things, tell them about the drive the schools and the Scouts are having and request thtm to consider good citizenship. You kn o w yourself that when you cross ~~~meones lawn you have a guilty con~ciencc. this damages the lawn and ~tnps its growth considerablv. It also ca use s other people to do - the same thing. Jumping O\'er hedges is very had for them. How would you like to :-\.'t' someone jumping over your hedges and breaking them so they will not :..;row? Not very well, would you? Tell people who throw paper in the streets tt 1 keep them until they come to a ~uitable place. If you sec people throwing ashe~ in the alley, tell them tn put them in cans or baskets for the 111\.'11 to collect. John ~fcDowcll -SB. Clean Up Vacant Lota The Boy Scouts, with the co-operation of the other hovs of this ·community. are having- a -campaign for the beautification of this tmvn. We are going to try and make this tovvn the lllO =' t beautiful of all the suburbs. The way we a rc going to do it is this. The Buy Scouts and other boys arc going to try and keep all the alleys and varant lots clean and from over-growing with high grass and weeds. You arc to try to keep off the lawn s and parkways. You may save a few seconds, hut if you start to where ever you are going in time it would ~1ot have to occur. Try to keep from going through hushes, and to keep from breaking twigs. For example, on the west side of .the playground that is situated north of the Stolp school there: is a row of hu:'hcs near the sidewalk along which the hushes run. Boys and girls keep continually going back and forth from the sidewalk to the playground and if we keep on doing this the bushes will. soon be killed. It depends on the spirit in which we enter this campaign, whether it will amount to anything or not, but let us all enter m~o this campaign with energ-y so we w·ll ha,·e the most beautiful town on the north shore.
