PAGE TEN Two protestant congregations in the City of Waukegan have been burned out of their church homes during the past two months. Last Thursday night the First Christian church of that city was completely destroyed by fire, while the First Congregational church met its fate in a similar manner, Novemâ€" ber 19th. The fire at the First Christian church was caused by an overheated furnace, while the one at the First Congregational church was set by an arsonist. Leaders of both churches met last Friday evening to discuss plans for rebuilding their churches. Officers of the Congregational church exâ€" pressed their willingness to discuss unitting with any other protestant church in Waukegan. Within 24 hours after the Christian church had burned, leaders had instituted plans to rebuild the church. Both churches were old land marks in Waukegan, the Congregaâ€" tional church, being the oldest, it having been organized in 1843. The First Christian church was built in Starting two years ago with only a first aid kit, Libertyville today possesses a wellâ€"equipped emergency first aid truck with a trained crew ready at all times to answer calls. The truck and equipment, which, it is said, is the only one of its kind in Lake county, has recently been made more efficient through the installaâ€" tion of a short wave radio receiver which will allow members of the crew to receive instructions while on the way to an accident or while at the scene, â€" 1890. At Antioch, folks are making the most of the cold weather. Labor and material has been donated for a toboggan slide which has been built on Lake Antioch. A ski slide has been built on the west hill at The truck and the crew, who are all members of the Libertyville fire department, have answered nine calls in various parts of the county as well as Libertyville, and have been instrumental in saving two lives. The village of Glencoe, has again been awarded by the National Safeâ€" ty council for its splendid showing in keeping the number of automobile accidents in the low bracket for 1939.

Mr. Walsh says, that is one cold that I will always thank God for." ‘"North Shore residential properâ€" ties are still considered the choicest mortgage security that the market affords," said Mr. Buenger, who has long been a resident of Winnetka. "Money is plentiful, with practically every institution that makes home loans endeavoring to secure a share of the North Shore business. We are heartened by the fact that our own volume of North Shore loans during 1939 was the largest in our history.
