WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1922 5 MAGA PRSES CHURCH 0 PROJET Christian Herald Comments Glowingly on Wilmette Co-operative Work HIGHLY COMMENDED Morristown, N. J., Adopts the Plan Wilmette's Co-operative Church Ad- vertising, conducted through the columns of The Lake Shore News, one of the Lloyd Hollster, Inc. publica- tions, is attracting nation-wide at- tention. Magazines have taken up the sub- ject of the Wilmette plan an: calling to the attention of their read- ers the unique plan whereby seven Wilmette Protestant churches are working together through a smoothly operating and businesslike Church Council. The latest of these magazine ar- ticles apears in the December 23 issue of the Christian Herald, published at New York City and familiarly termed "An Illustrated News Weekly for the Home." The article is by the pen of Rhys G. Thackwell of Evanston, a newspaper and magazine writer, who made a special study of the Wilmette Church Advertising plan. Praises Wilmette Churches The article pays a glowing tribute to the Wilmette churches. "The Church Council, both in ref- erence to its co-operative advertising plan and other community enterpris- es," it states, "has convinced skeptics that seven Protestant churches can do and function in a small community of 2,000 homes with perfect harmony and true Christian friendship for each other." The Christian Herald article ex- plains the Church Advertising plan in detail and is accompanied by a repro- duction of a church advertisement ap- pearing in a recent issue of The Lake Shore News. "New arrivals in Wilmette, when re- ceiving copies of The Lake Shore News and thus having their attention drawn to the unique Church adver- tisements, realize at once that there is harmony in the relations among the churches," the writer concludes, "and soon learn that there is a perfect trust among the ministers. The preachers call each other by their first names. If a Congregational family is discovered by the Methodist preacher in his peregrinations the discoverer does not try to bring them into his church hut gives their names to the Congregational pastor. Behind the whole campaign is that spirit--friend ly Christianity." Publication of the Christian Herald article already has brought a request for copies of the Wilmette Church Advertisements. A letter to that ef- fect was received this week from Charles H. Nuttle of Morristown, N. J., who has been appointed to apply the Wilmette Co-operative Church Ad- vertising plan in that community of 12,000 inhabitants. are | | COMMUNITY HOUSE CALENDAR WEEK OF JANUARY 1, 1923 Regular activities will be resumed in Community House during the com- ing week.

'PUBLIC SERVICE CO. INDICATES PROGRESS Anyone who reads the Chicago papers, or who keeps in touch with the city's activities must have noted the enormous growth of the suburban districts adjacent to it. Aside from the expansion of the city's industrial district to the outskirts and beyond and thus the bringing in of new peo- ple to such territories with the at- tendant necessity of providing homes for them, there is a strong tendency among many city dwellers to become commuters. This rapid suburban de- velopment is along the north shore extending from the city limits north to Waukegan and beyond, in the Crystal Lake district, in the Oak Park, Maywood, La Grange and Cicero districts, in the country along the various railroaas leading south as far as Joliet and involving a dozen towns. All of this territory is served by the Public Service Company and the growth aforesaid has necessitated the construction of a very large number of extension lines by the Company. That work has been particularly ac- tive throughout the year. In one section the construction required 136 poles and furnished service to almost 100 customers. More extensions were made in other territories. ,The Com- pany keeps pace with the growth of every community. In addition to the extensions referred to, made for the most part to supply all the year round residents, a great many were required by the building of summer cottages in which the owners live only a few months in the year. Evanston Woman Owns That Pretty Doll House Mrs, John M. Butler, 1563 Ridge avenue, Evanston, is the new owner of the Doll House, which has been on exhibition in north shore store win- dows. Proceeds from the sale of the doll house, constructed by Emil C. Butz, 702 Washington avenue, Wilmette, and presented by him to the Arden Shore association, will go into the fund for the rest camp at Lake Bluff, 111.
