FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1920 The Wilmette Plan We, printed in a recent issue a letter sent out by the Wilmette Plan Commission to the property owners of the Village, asking them to con- tribute the money needed to carry on its important work. The Com- mission estimates that $10,000 will be needed to finance the proposed in- vestigations and studies, as consider- able technical help will be required in working out large problems which are closely related to the welfare of the community. It is necessary, for instance, that careful study be given various matters connected with track elevation, which is inevitable, in order that the interests of our people may be adequately protected. It also is highly desirable that zoning be acted upon as promptly as possible. The Plan Commission was created last December because it was real- ized that great public advantages could be derived from a systematic study of the present and future needs of the community by a permanent body of citizens, especially as a basis litKhg t'n<s physical growth of the town along practical lines. Con- tinous and enlightened effort to that end is necessary if the community is to develop its maximum of health- fulness, convenience and beauty. The Plan Commission has com- pleted its organization and is giving earnest attention to its big task. Its personnel inspires confidence in its disinterestedness and in its capacity to do things. It undeniably has great opportunties for usefulness. Public- spirited citizens should accord it the financial support which it is asking. â€"hkâ€"&â€" See How It Fits "The high responsibilities of our diplomatic intercourse with foreign nations were subordinated to a con- ception of partisan requirements, and was presented to the world a humiliating spectacle of ineptitude." Except for the nice choice of words this sounds as if it might be an ex- cerpt from a speech from the floor of the senate, expressing the opinion of a democrat about the part that Sen- ator Lodge has taken in making the history of the peace treaty. But it isn't. 5* However well it may be thought to fit the case of the senate in the pres- ent session, it belongs to the repub- lican who headed his party in 1916. It is an extract from the acceptance speech of Charles Evans Hughes and refers to the tactics that the United States government, under the first administration of President Wilson adopted to span the period between the sinking of the Lusitania and the November elections. The fact that this country by the acknowledgment of its own citizens has "presented to the world a humiliating spectacle of ineptitude" is not exactly conducive to an exalted self-esteem. Bpt it is a fact,that a very large proportion of the people recognize as true. end of the seventh day we are to expect "some great joy." Failing to do this to keep intact the endless chain we are to "meet with some great misfortune." Since the prayer is for our soldiers and sailors it appears that the chain has been running on for some time. Misfortune and joy have been fairly equally parceled out, as in other times, a fact which leads us to sup- pose that ours is not the" only waste- basket to which the end of the chain has been consigned. -----f£|-----$&â€" The New Democracy The employes on the British royal estate includipg Balmoral castle, have demanded an eight-hour day and a wage of three pounds a week, a little under fifteen dollars when the Britsh pound was at par. Time was when the glory of work- ing, even in a humble capacity, for those who shared "the divinity that hedged about a king" was enough to compensate for an unlimited work- ing day and a meager recompense. That time has passed with the pass- ing of the notion that kings are hedg- ed about. -Saâ€"hi- THE BILL Bills for $625,000,000 have been pre- sented to Germany for the support of allied naval, military and observ- ation commissions now at work there. It will cost Germany $200,000,- 000 a year to support the allied offi- cials who will remain to see that she lives up to her agreements. â€"suâ€"S&â€" FREEING THE REDS Wholesale cancellations of depor- tation warrants against Communists and anarchists have been ordered by the Department of Labor. More than 100 of the agitators arrested during the recent raids conducted by the De- partment of Justice have been turn- ed loose during the last few days. â€"§3kâ€"$&â€" PARK DISTRICT ELECTION The annual Park District election will be held at the regular Village polling places on Tuesday, April 6. Henry J. Haack. 1228 Gregory ave- nue, is the only candidate to be voted upon this spring. Haack is seeking re-election as Park Com- missioner. There are no opposing candidates.

The opening game of the season is scheduled for Sunday, April 25, when the local boys will meet their old rivals the Pollard Colored Stars of Evanston.

Miss Law left her post this week after more than a score of years' devoted service to that institution. Miss Law, accompanied by a sis- ter, Miss Ida Law, and two brothers, Prentiss and Frank Law leave the Village soon to make their home on a farm near Springfield, Mo. Miss Law was one of the organ- izers and a charter member of the Wilmette Woman's club. The Law home at 1137 Forest ave- nue has been sold. A detailed story of Miss Law's more than 30 years' service in Wilmette will appear in next week's issue of The Lake Shore News. l-«r\iJ 1 Calx Make your Easter salad or dessert with gelatine egg shaped.
