I have read this letter- with'pleas- ure -and satisfaction, and arn moved to express an audible and fervent "'mn"and to'go even further and suggest that you might encou rage or invitemore statements of this nature from Wilmùette .residents., It would seem'only right, for those entrusted witb beach management to know, there, were- many people who tboroughly appreciate tbe problems encountered, and ,rnost beartily ap- prove of the rules and regulations ad- vanced to meet them. We are not old timers, having been- hère only six years, but we were not slow to recognize Wilmette's beach as. one of, its greatest assets, and -to know that by the restrictions im- posed and omly by thern could it be s0 maintained. It is outstanding on the entire lake sbore and-as the writer to Mr. Gillison poi nts out-not having the protection afforded nat- urally to Winnetka and Glencoe througb lack of the. "L,". could 'very easîly and quickly becorneanother Oak street if tbe restrictio ns were, not diligently enforced. Perfection in pleasing people can neyer be attained, but certainly it slrnuld be apparent that thxe beach affords tbe greatest amount of pleas- ure and benefit to the greatest num-. ber of Wi1iuette residents, and the nxost credit to the village itsel f as it HOME FROM MINNESOTA Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Dunn and their son, Ray, 225 Dupe. place, returned to Wilmette Sunday, evening, from northern Minniesota. They spent two weeks at the National Forest lodge near Ely,ý Mii. Prior to that they had been to Philadelphia to attend the f uneral of Mr.. Duinn's- mother, Mrs. 'Emina DunnI, Who died on july 27. detracted irom the neacu and las been very annoyîng, but that is un- avoidable and teniporary and should be so regarded. There are sme folks who always "belly-ache" just on gen- eral princi ples and others. who in- stinctively rebel at authority even though it operates to their'advantage, but. on the whole, I think the -criticism a 1nd complaints corne from those who have flot seen the other side of the, picture or realized how. intoierable. conditions would become, were the restrictions removed. If those of us who, take this attitude expressed our- selves half ýas f reely as the complain- ing oncs, I arn sure we -could -ma- terially assist our beahgrdad attenidants: and our Park. board in their efforts to keep Wilmhette's beach, orderly, - dean. and safe!1 Yours very truly, Gail (Mrs. M..
