WILSON NAMED PERMANENT SEMINARY HEAD Rev. Dr. James M. Wilson, formerly pastor of the Wilmette Presbyterian church and for the past four years pastor of an important church in Omaha, has been elected president of the Presbyterian Theological semin- 'ary in that city. Three weeks ago The Lake Shore News received word from Omaha calling attention to the fact that Dr. Wilson had been named acting pres- ident of the seminary. His election to the permanent office of president was announced this week. Dr. Wilson achieved great popular- ity in his ministry in Wilmette. He was keenly interested in village af- fairs in addition to his activities in church circles. Don't forget our Chop Suey Thurs- day and Saturday of each week.

If your beltline is already too large --Ilet pie alone. This is the sage advice of Coach Connor, who is in charge of the health of employes of The Goodrich Tire & Rubber Company at Akron, Ohio. Connor is organizing a diet squad of employes who are too fat and of those who want to gain weight. The former will get food of proper nutri- tional values while the thin ones will get heaps of pie. According to Connor, who is a health expert, one piece of pie will add more inches to the belt line than seven slices of wheat bread. With tasty pies made in the com- pany's own bake shop as an attrac- tion, Connor expects a rush of workers to his diet squads. AUTOMOBILE NOTES 1& = OR JK (Q) PA ARCE Sig.
