Local Area Ciearly evident at the February luncheon meeting of the Wiimette Civic league iast Friday was the a growing sentiment among' residents- that Wilmette's somewhat out-moded building ordinance (commoniy refer- red to as tbe, building code) is in. need1 of revision or1 amendment. The general use eisewvhere of. fire- resisting niateriai for the past sev- eral years,. approved by experts, but now victuaily prohibited by ordinance in, much construction in tbe village, was 1 one argument presented by speakers as indicating thé need for a revamping of régulations to better suit the, purposes o f builders and the purses of home-owners. Other. features of the ordinance, which was adopted some 15 years ago, came in for considerable discus- sion, prompting a wide range of questions in the open forum that foi- lowed the set prograin of talks. Lag in Changes One point brought cieariy to the attention of the villagers is the façt that Wilmette bas flot kept pace with ot.her* north shore towns in making, * revisions >to provide for certain, types of approved construction. The existing orçinance was re-, viewed at iength by William A. * Wolff, Wilmette building commis- * sioner who left the impression that, fundamentaiiy, the code is adéquate to present needs. W. C., Huggins, local builder, and L. Morgan Yost, Wiimette architect, in their talks before the group, point- ed to certain features of the existing deieted in order to bring the regula- * tions not oniy up-to-date, but make (Continued on page ý7) Use UnemPloyed to Paint House AsNumbers at Curb Na ..means of reducing unem-, A Candidates' meeting, sponsored by the Winnetka League of Women, Voters, to which members of the Wii.mette and Renilworth leagues and everyone else interested is invited, will be held Monday night, Mairch 14, at2 Winnetka Community H fous e. at8 dcilock.

Mr. Brandt. in-his pub- iished statement (thîs news-magazine, Feb. .24) indicated,'the difficuit,-task ahead 'of any such objective. In vie* of the fact that the public will havé its say in-respect to aniy change in the traditional set-up of our local educational systemn, citizens should, have adequate informnationupon*.which to base ideas and judgments. There are four principal phases of the. problern: 1. Population trends; 2. Physical needs; 3. Finani- ai and legal problemns; 4. Educationai logic.
