Ia Gl··:·· :·: Chief Orden "T·ta" for Lillatleu The days of courtesy tags fOr . violations of the parking ordinances are now over, according to Chief Charles W. Legett of the Wilmette Police department. Orders have been issued to all patrolmen to issue an arrest slip wherever a car rs found parked with· out lights or on the parking. This ac· tion. Chief Leggett states, has become necessary because of the large number of cars being· left on the streets after night without lights. Cars parked · in this manner are a menace to· the safety of other motorists, the chief declares, and the practice must be stopped. .p.., · ·· Terron of Tu-paJia8 Flit With ~ , I Bishop Huahea to Preach .-----~----.t"o.l" Elliott Addreues at Joint Lenten SeitW NOTICE TO y.a..vpAYERSI Stucleata at Berea Collep copal church, who . is a resident of Wilmette, wiD preach the sermon at the Lenten services to be held jointly by the Kenilworth Union church and the Church of the Holy Comforter Wednesday evening, March 21.
