Plans are already underway to continue these dancco:s during the season 1924-25 as set forth in the April number of the Wilmette Woman's Club bulletin just going to press. M. E. CHURCH SUNDAY . Win Acclaim in All Sectiona f tb Co ..._ 0 e un ... ~ - The cause of good citizenship is to be given a big boost at the Wilmette Parish Methodist Episcopal church Sunday afternoon, M_ arch 30, at 3:30 o'clock, the time set for the opening of the Christgau-Langley debate. This most unusual affair is to be held under the auspices of the Wilmette Cherch council and is most timely in view of the primaries to be held on Tuesday, April 8. ·T his event is not a debate in the ordinary sense of the word, it is explained. It is really a drama in which two characters representing a citizen and an official discuss the law enforcement question. This drama is in many respects the most remarkable Plethod that has yet been used in the fight against the liquor traffic in America. As a matter of fact, it repr ese nts the first successful attempt in America to utilize the drama as a mean s to create sentiment and arouse action in conn~ction with the program of the churches.
