He portrayed vividly how he, in common with hundreds of other citizens, had been induced to invest their money in homes in Wil- mette under the impression that it was a community of homes far remov- ed from the grime and noise of the big city* where there was no need of industrial districts that encroach upon the homes and rob the community of its natural beauty so happily aug- mented by substantial and attractive homes. t Joseph Heinzen, former Village trustee, Who next took the floor, pledged his support of the Improve- ment association's action and spoke in favoring of platting the fourteen acres at the extreme north of the vil- lage for residential purposes. The Commission, he pointed outjiad pre- viously expressed that sentiment with reference to the fourteen acres, but apparently, had since altered then plans. r.l , 'â- "â- 'â-  Haack Pledges Support Henry J.

In accordance with the plan a Wil- mette School of Religious Education has been organized by the Church Union to aid the homes and churches of the village in meeting the prob- lems of the religious training of their children and youth.

The success of the project and the mar- velous rapidity with which these schools are- springing up over the country is held to be sufficient proof of their value to the church, and to the community.
