The plan is to clean, free of charge, one garment for each child bringing such garment to the Schultz and Nord shops at 1152 Central avenue, Wilmette. "Cleanliness," says Emil A. Nord, of Schultz and Nord, goes beyond at- tention to the body itself. Scientists have long since discovered that clothes are carriers of germs and disease bacteria and should be cleaned at regu- lar and not too infrequent intervals. The dry-cleaning process, these ex- perts tell us, is thoroughly effective in the destruction of disease-causing germ organisms. This fact was readi- ly established by army experts during the World war. "It is our conviction that habits of cleanliness in wearing apparel are quite as essential as those having to do with keeping healthy the body it- self. The boys and girls of today are the men and women of tomorrow, and it is in their tender years that health habits--even as to clothing--should be formed." Hygiene Week for boys will be from January 16 to 23, and for girls from January 23 to 30. Nature Photographer to Speak Here Under Auspices of Teachers Back from Alaska and the Pribiloff Islands with thousands of pictures, William I. Finley, field photographer for Nature Magazine of Washington, D. C, will present two illustrated lec- tures at the Byron Stolp school on Friday, January 13, under the auspices of the Wilmette Teachers' club. One of the most interesting features of Mr. Finley's program will be the numerous reels of motion pictures of the north land wild life. 3 Mr. Finley shoots entirely with a camera on his expeditions and has ex- perienced some very close calls. A bull moose charged him while he was grinding his movie machine. GRANITE FURNISHED AND ERECTED BY J. H. ANDERSON MONUMENT CO. FINEST DISPLAY OF MEMORIALS IN CHICAGO 5751 RAVENSWOOD AVE. Phone RAVenswood 3523 DR. 5. A. LLOYD TAKES PASTORATE IN PONTIAC Pastor of Wilmette Congrega- tional Church Resigns After Nine Years' Ministry Dr. Stephen A. Lloyd, minister of the Wilmette Congregational church since 1919, has resigned to accept the pastorate of the First Congrega- tional church in Pontiac, Mich. He will enter upon his new field of ministry February 1. While Dr. Lloyd's resignation was not wholly unexpected, there was much surprise and many expressions of genuine regret when he read his resig- nation at the close of the service last Sunday morning and asked that it be accepted by the church to take effect February 1, 1928. The resignation is the outcome of negotiations with the First Congrega- tional church of Pontiac, Mich., to the pulpit of which Dr. Lloyd received a unanimous call some weeks ago, and which, he declares, offers an unusual opportunity for a notable work. Pontiac is the county seat of Oak- land county, Mich, is 26 miles north of Detroit and the terminus of the great 200-foot Woodward avenue, said to be "America's greatest highway." It is a rapidly growing industrial city, the population having jumped from 22,000 in 1920 to more than 54,000 to- day, and is apparently destined to be- come one of the great automobile centers of the country. It is already the "Home of the 'Knight Motors," and the "Oakland" and "Pontiac" cars of the General Motors are manufac- tured there, as are also General Mo- tors trucks. 'Plants are now in pro- cess of construction for the building of Yellow cabs. The Fisher Body cor- poration has two plants in Pontiac; one constructing "closed bodies" and the other "sport models" for many cars manufactured elsewhere. Ranks With Leading Churches The church to which Dr. Lloyd will go on February 1 is one of the lead- ing churches in the state. Its member- ship of more than 1,400 gives it a place among the twenty-five largest churches of the Congregational denomination in the United States. It is situated in the very heart of Pontiac and has a mag- nificent property, with a value of $400,000. A new church edifice, begun last year, is already under roof and, when completed, will be one of the finest and best equipped plants in the country for the work of the modern church. : Dr. Lloyd carries to his new work a rich experience, a splendid training, and an enviable record of successes. He had served churches in Brooklyn, N. Y, Cortland, N. Y.,, and Pough- keepsie, N. Y., before coming to the Wilmette church. The local church has prospered un- der his leadership. Its membership, which has more than doubled during the past nine years, is a testimony to the breadth and catholicity of his preaching, since in it there are repre- sented more than a score of differing denominations. The program of the church is a seven-day-a-week one and, in addition to caring for its own work, houses many groups not officially con- nected with the work of the church. The expansion of the church during the pastorate of Dr. Lloyd is indicated in a comparison of the church finances, for the budget for current expenses today is two and one-half times as large as it was nine years ago, and the benevolences of the church have been multiplied by five. Two pieces of property have been purchased during the last seven vears, one to allow for necessary expansion of the church building, and the other a home for the minister, located just across from the church at Lake avenue and Eleventh street.
