Monro, Church Leader, Dies Wilmette church and school work- ers were deeply grieved Monday of this week to hear of the untimely death of Mrs. Pearl Miller Munro, wife of John G. Munro of 1119 Elm- wood avenue, who for many years has been prominent in Wilmette church -and neighborhood circle activ- ities. Mrs. Munro succumbed to an ill- ness that extended over a period of several months. She had been a resident of the com- munity for the past 14 years and was one of the best known women in the village, in view of her active interest in church and school affairs. She was particularly interested, in prob- lems affecting the education and gen- eral training of children. Mrs, Munro is survived by her hus- band and four children, Elizabeth, Pearl, Jean and Catherine. She was the sister of Mrs. H. C. West, 811 Forest avenue. Services were held Thursday after- noon from the First Congregational church of Wilmette, and burial was at Memorial Park. Leader in Eastern Star Is Summoned by Death Mrs. Jeannette W.

Thursday. t-f .--_ Urges Co-operation to Cut Annual Fire Loss Co-operation of business people with the fire departments to lessen the severe losses to commercial property each year in the cities and towns of Illinois, was asked by state fire marshal John G. Gamber in an address recently before the State Firemen's convention at Aurora, according to Walter H. Zib- ble, Wilmette fire chief, who attended the convention. Fire losses in business property are due in large measure to the carelessness of occupants of buildings, the state mar- shal stated. Wilmette, says Chief Zibble, is no ex- ception to the rule, since fifteen of the fires recorded in the village in 1923 in- cluded business property atid, in most in- stances, were due to carelessness. Legislation designed to lessen fire hazards was recommended to the state legislature by the delegates to the Fire- men's convention. "An ounce of fore prevention is worth a ton of ashes," was the slogan adopted at the convention.
