6 a. Hh re wre Reorganize Health Center Direction of Committee of New Gross Point John H. Schaefer Elected Chairman Health Center Organization this Week Several weeks ago the committee in charge of the Alice Wood Child Welfare Center, Gross Point, decided to change the personnel of their membership and enlarge upon the purposes of their organization. A special meeting was called, for the purpose of reorganizing, at which James TF. Phillips, County Secretary of the Chicago Tuber- culosis Institute presided. Many im- portant matters were discussed and many interesting suggestions made. Bears New Name Tt was decided that the name of the Alice Wood Child Welfare Center would be changed to the Gross Point Health Center, and that every effort would be made by the new organiza- tion to bring about a realization of the many benefits made possible by maintenance of a thoroughly equipped and attractive health center for north shore residents. John H. Schaefer, cashier of the Wilmette State Bank was elected chairman of the new committee and a resolution adopted fixing the term of the officers and members to expire September 1, 1921. The following is a list of the officers and membership: Chairman, J. H. Schaefer. Secretary, Mrs. D. H. Maxwell. Treasurer, Mrs. John A. Hoffman. Members, Messrs. N. J. Miller, James B. Hoffman and Tohn W. Sel- zer. Mesdames, James Bagnell, Tohn Clark Baker, Louis W. Crush. C. P. Evans, John C. Carpenter, V. C. San- horn, A. W. Boylston, Arthur S. Mec- Kenna and Hope Thompson. Name Advisory Committee At a later meeting it was decided to appoint an advisory committee consisting of James TF. Phillips. County secretary and Miss Anna V. McVady, director of nurses of the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute. Many suggestions, relative to changes in the health center. were made by Miss McVady and Miss Queen. the local nurse. Mr. Phillips offered, for the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute, to pay one-half of the cost of new equipment and interior and exterior changes suggested for the center. The proposition was accepted and committees appointed to decide on the various items mentioned. A special meeting will be held very soon and changes made as quickly as possible. The decision of the committee to continue the arrangement, with the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute whereby the Institute furnishes a nurse, supervises her work, maintains a health clinic, and does crusade work among the children, means much to the community. Hundreds of resi- dents of the north shore depend on Miss Queen for advice and assist- ance, and with increasing degree of moral support offered by the un- selfish membership of the local com- mittee, the benefits of her services will be reorganized by a far greater number. 7.

Several chil- | dren were sent home from school this week suffering symptoms of the disease. In Kenilworth the epidemic is re- ported on the wane with five new cases reported this week. A total of forty cases have been reported in the village to date. Because of the unusually large number of cases officials found it necessary to borrow quarantine signs from Wilmette to insure placarding of every home visited by the contagion. Parents are requested to report uspicious cases of chicken-pox to the health authorities without delay, and to isolate cases from other members of the family and, under no circum- stances, permit the children to at- tend school or appear on the streets of the village.
