Cl ore programs, includW · F ran k ~ ~uc . t (Moffet Photo) mg our recen President, Calvin Coolidge. Pioneer in Movement Far and wide this club is known as an interesting and successful experiment in suburQan life. Since. its inception other Sunday evenmg clubs have been organized in Evanston River Forest, Downers Grove ' La Grange, Elgin, Illinois; Lake\~ood, Ohio; and Pontiac, Mich. This club has the cooperation of eight churches in Wilmette and Kenilworth, the Wilmette Woman's club, two parent teacher associatio?s, the Wilmette schools and New Tner High school. Committee of Forty The club's activities are under the direction of a committee of f_orty, representing the cooperating organizations. From this larger body an executive committee is selected. The annual budget of the club is between $4,000 !lnd $5,000. .Thi.s is raised 1 by ten dollar contnbntJOn<; from approximately 300 people and the balance in olate collections. The governing committee belic~·es that the vVilmctte Sunday Evenmg club fills a real place in the life of the community. As one illustration / a communication received fro~1 a familv who but recently moved to Wiimette, states that this village was selected partly because of the opportunities the Sunday Evening club affo~ded their children. Kenilworth School Again Seeks Title /or Sale l1/ Seals The Joseph Sears school in Kenilworth, which for· a number of· years has won national honors among grade schools for selling Christmas health seals, is ag~in engaged in the Christmas seal drive in an effort to repeat its excellent performal)ces of the past. Sale of the Christmas seals in Kenilworth began the day after Thanksgiving and will continue until about December 15. Although the first, second, and third graders at the school do not handle the seals, they take orders for them, and every child in the school takes part in the selling campaign. Besides making a house-to-house canvass the pupils solicit the patronage of their aunts, uncles, grandmothers and other near at.td distant relatiyes, as well as that of their friends. Teachers of the Joseph Sears school also cooperate with the children in the Christmas seal sale. The Rorth shore is expecting Kenilworth to wm national honors again this year. J. E.
