THE LAKE slfiORE NEWS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1921 ORGANIZED PLAY, NEED OF WILMETTE Organized play for Wilmette un- der the supervision of a Community Council of fifty representative citizens "that could subscribe to a non-section- al, non-political, non-commercial and non-factional policy" is recommended in a pamphlet issued this week and distributed to every family in Wil- mette by'the Community Service com- mittee of the Wilmette Woirian's club. The pamphlet, containing) a detailed report ot recreation facilities and needs in the village, supplemented by recommendations, made to the Woman's club by C. H. English, recre- ation specialist of Community Ser- vice Inc., New York City, deserves careful study and consideration by ev- ery resident of the village. The re- port followed a survey last July to determine the recreation status and needs in Wilmette. Recreation, the report states, may be divided into four groups as follows: home recreation, private recreation, commercial recreation and public re- creation. Adequate recreation for a community includes all these parts and public recreation supplements the others. "Wilmette has in reality been di- vided by the trunk lines of tne North western and North Shore Railroads, says Mr. English in introducing his report . "People speak and think in terms of East Side and West Side. Oiiginally the West Side was largely Wilmette, Mr. English adds, is es- sentially a Village of "young people who find here the atmosphere of a semi-city community with the domin- ant advantages of the Metropolis. • Since the village is under the super- vision of four governmental agencies, The Village Board, Park Board, Board of Education and Library Board, all independent taxing bodies, it would be necessary when a Community re- creation .program is considered, he says, to have "whole-hearted, volun- tary co-operation from each of these agencies". The Park Board, he finds, has juris- diction and supervision over two parks and a bathing beach, comprising Z8 acres of park property and 750 feet of beach frontage. The Park Board, be- cause of insufficient funds^ finds it practically impossible to adequately take care of its program of develop- ment for many yjars to come. The first need, "the report bears out, is a fencing in of the bathing beach to better care for the bathers, and the construction of an adequate bath house and provision of other facilities HARTSHAFFNER&MARX $42.50â€"$45.00â€"$4750 j Here is an opportunity to get one of these all-wool over- coats at a moderate price.

He suggests co-operation of the citizens with the Park Board in policing,: the biach north and south of the Park Beard property. It is further suggest- ed the village secure beach control of the land lying between the present beach and south to Recreation Park, making one continuous stretch of beautiful beach property. Need More Playgrounds <* Wilmette needs more playgrounds, Mr. English points out. Particularly is this true of the west side, he says, where there is need for a big play- ground where the major sports, base- ball, football, tennis, etc., could be en- pojed. The park along the Drainage shannel on the east side should be utilized for th esame purpose, he says. Playgrounds and other recreational facilities provided by a few pf the churches in the village are ade- quate to provide for but a limited number, it is stated. Byron C. Stolp school constitutes the only real Community Recreation center in the village, Mr. English pays for Nokol in your home and the saving in fuel cost pays part of that.
