January 7, 1928 WINNETKA TALK: Pilgrims, Missionaries Cruise Mediterranean (Continued from Page 36) for granted that the Turk has always been wrong. Dr. Reid made perfectly clear in a careful statement that was utterly free from prejudice that in all the sorry happenings of the last ten years the Armenians and the Greeks must bear their part of the blame although the atrocities of the Turks themselves, could not for that reason be excused. We found that Dr. Reid took exactly the same viewpoint that Mr. Ellis does in his book to which I have referred, that the "exchange of populations" between Turkey and Greece, although it was a rough- shod amputation, will in the perspective of history no doubt be seen as the right thing to have done. To have 240,000 Armenians and Greeks leave Smyrna in seven days as they did, of course tells a story of terrible suffering, but there is a peace in both Turkey and Greece now and a hope of prosperity, as well, that could never have been obtained under the old conditions. Dr. Reid has great hopes for Turkey under the new regime. He outlined for us the rapid strides she is making in social education. There is practically no established religion there now. The Mosques are in disrepair. But the International college with its unecclesi- astical Christian approach, has the op- portunity of its lifetime to undergird the nation with the religious interest that it needs. I shall say more of Turkey in my closing article next week. Wilmette Man Designs Magazine Cover Page The cover page on the January issue of the Peoples' Home Journal, a peri- odical published by a New York pub- lishing company of national note, was designed by Roy F. Best of 1121 Lake avenue, Wilmette, it was learned this week. The cover is of unique appear- ance, following a New Year theme. Mr. Best used his son, Richard, as model for the picture and the first ap- pearance of the magazine caused con- siderable comment among close friends of the family because of the striking resemblance to the 'child before the actual authorship of the picture was learned.

Sees Dawn of Ne ew Type of Building Loan Association "A new day has dawned for building and loan associations in Illinois, '"de- clares Fred C. Winship, secretary of the Building and Loan Association of Evanston, which was incorporated No- vember 18, 1927, at 513 Davis street, Evanston. "The Evanston association is differ- ent," says Mr. Winship, "from any and all other building associations in this state. It is so different that the or- ganizers found great difficulty in get- ting the desired by-laws adopted; for the laws of this state favor rather the old old-fashioned 'Serial' plan for such companies." "Many communities in Illinois are sure to copy the plan of the association in Evanston, for our plan is the most efficient practiced in the states where building associations do the most busi- ness, for example in Ohio." "Another example is in New Jersey where the association organized on the 'Optional Payment' plan average in size more than twice that of the 'serial' associations. "Although only six weeks old, the Building and Loan association of Ev- anston has made two loans and has sold over a thousand shares. "There is a strong demand for loans on our terms," says Mr. Winship. "Just as fast as we get the money we can place it. If we can loan $10,000 per month this year, we can pay five percent dividends. - Thereafter the profits will be greater. The average dividend of building-loan associations in Illinois is more than five and a half percent." The directors of the association in Evanston are N. M. Hokanson, presi- dent; Herbert C. Jenks, vice president; Horace D. Bent, H. Morton Bodfish, C. P. Hodgson, John A. Kappelman, David C. Malin, Victor Ortlund, Meyer J. Sturm. The treasurer is Charles I Tippet, of the City National bank. Ralph E. Church, state representative from the sixth district, is attorney for the association. ENGAGED Mr. and Mrs. Richard J.
