Upon deciding to.open an office from which to operate its. own. business, -the thought was suggested, and adoptéd, that it go beyond its own requiremnents in space .and eq uipme nt andI furnishings; and provide quarters that might be used by its mein- bers and ot her citizens as à central point wherie f riend might meet friend, committees froni churches and other, organizations convene for conferences, and in other ways utilize its. con-. veniences. This new office, located at -1155 Wilmette aveý- nue, was opened te the public by means of recep- tiens field Saturday afternoon and evening and Sunday afternoon. It is handsomely furnishied and completely .equipped, and is presented to the neoffle of the villagee for their use .without obli- wilI be used by the citizens for tne purposes. intended. SIt is gratifying to note that the association is making a healthy growth. Organized to oppose undesirable real estate developments, the en- croachments of large apartmnt huildnL-'s. or depreciation of home properties by business or .induistrial enterprises, it hasa definite. duty 10o perform, and should wield a tremendous influence. in deciding the direction which the assured future' growth of the village is to take.

HEALTHY DISCUSSION' WViÎ'-e'r'rELiFF is gratified at the amnount of, healthyv discussion now going on throughout the village relating,.to the future developmnent of the commercial areas and adjacent properties in resi- dential sections. These problems hav-e been dis- cussed by individuals and groups in wvhispers, a practice that. can neyer bring 'about a decision or lead to a solution. It was for the purpose of bringing.the subject into the open, .and affordiing opportunity for the expression of opinion, that this paper gave space to an article and an editorial. on the subjec .
