Evenings by Appointment EDGAR GUEST COMING IN BENEFIT LECTURE Poet to Contribute Services in Recital That Will Swell Funds of Camp Wilmette Camp Wilmette, a 24-acre tract of woodland purchased by men of the Wilmette Methodist church last spring as a camping place for boys and girls of the north shore community, will be the direct beneficiary of an address to be given by Edgar A. Guest, world famous poet, at New Trier Auditorium, Friday evening, December 3. Mr. Guest is contributing his services to- ward completion of payment for the camp, so that all proceeds from his lecture may be utilized to ob- tain the grounds title clear. The camp, located near Watervliet, Mich, on the banks of the Paw Paw river, is well equipped and especially adapted to use by such groups as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls and similar children's organizations. Last summer its facilities were utilized by some 100 boys and girls, under trained camp leaders. Tickets at Drug Stores Tickets for the Guest lecture may be obtained at any drug store in the township, the sponsors of the program announce. It is the hope of those in- terested in this project that the sale of tickets will net the $3,000 necessary to carry through the complete camp project. Large sums were contributed by a small group of men in the Meth- odist parish to make the camp pur- chase possible. Mr. Guest, by virtue of the appear- ance of his poems in the daily press throughout the country, is familiar to almost every man, woman and child in America. He is known also as an en- tertaining and pleasing speaker. In fact, he is in such demand for plat- form work that it is with difficulty that he can limit his speaking engage- ments. This season he authorized his publishers, Reilly and Lee, Chicago, his exclusive booking agents, to accept contracts for only eighteen platform appearances. The north shore is therefore highly favored in securing his services, and especially so in view of the fact that his recital on December 3 is to be a contribution to the cause of young people whom he counts as his treasured friends. Master of Repartee "As a humorist and master of repar- tee the Detroit poet is a master," reads a comment. "Kindly in his philosophy of life, he writes and speaks with that same spirit. He thinks in terms of home things and his poems and lec- tures are of these same home things. 'It takes a heap o' living in a house to make it home' is an expression which has circled the globe since he incor- porated it in one of the most charming poems in our language. Earnest, deep- rooted in the essential graces and vir- tues, companionable and 'homey, he lives the poetry he writes." "FOLLIES AFLOAT" ON WAY TO OUR VILLAGE (Continued from Page 1) J. W. Belter, Thomas Wheatley, Frank Woods, Arch Wilcox, Edward Wein- stock, G. A. Arnold, George Barbery, J. A. Cooke and Arnie Mauland. Over 400 members of the Winnetka lodge of Masons have been supplied with tickets and they will be largely aided by members of the Eastern Star who will conduct a ticket-selling cam- paign. The ticket committee has called attention to the fact that reserved seat assignments will be made and tickets will be for sale on and after Decem- ber 1 at Adams' drug store. Also that the price of reserved seat tickets is but one dollar. According to Frank Nelson, who is in general charge of arrangements for "Follies Afloat," the advance ticket sale has been excellent and indicates capacity houses on both December 8 and 9.
