THE LA'kE SHOR& ' NfgWS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1920 NOW that the Community House has become an established reality in our village, we wonder how we ever did. without it. Though it has only been in actual use for a short two months, many interesting classes have been formed, and clubs for folks of all ages have found a regular meeting place. Mrs. Theo- •dore Breyer and her committee, ably assisted by Mrs. Emma Stop- ka, the house supervisor, have worked incessantly to arrange sched- ules, without conflictions, and to get the house into working order. Have you ever stopped to think how the Community House is •supported aside from a few generous donations from various of the residents and organizations? Do you know that it is the residents, you, your next door neighbor, and your friends that are contributing to its upkeep by way of donations of cast-off clothing, furniture, knick knacks, in fact, most anything at all. to the Economy Shop? At a meeting of the Woman's club on Wednesday afternoon, an ex- cellent report of the work done by the Economy Shop was given by Mrs. Blanche Wanner, chairman of the committees in charge. . It included the fact that the proceeds from the Shop had enabled the committee to pay an additional $1000 toward the purchase of the house. You all know that the original cost of the house was $6,800. On a previous date payments of $1,850 had been made, and adding the new payment of $1000 on the principal, it makes a total of $2,810 paid down on the house within a year. The Economy Shop is always in need of new supplies and new stock, and there is a standing request from the chairman and her committee, which includes Mesdames Edward B. Mendsen, John R. Harper, George R. Linn, Fred Rice, Walter W. Baldwin, Evan R. James, Burt Nichols, Frank King, Edward Lilienfield, Samuel FT. Vowell, Mortimer B. Skinner. Richard Cody, Burt C. Hardenbrook. Charles N. Reese, Richard W. Jordan and Wilbur Robertson. If you have winter wearing apparel which is about to be cast aside, send it to the Shop now so that it may be sold this season. -------------------+-------------------- % THE Ouilmette Country club, in keeping with St. Valentine's Day, will be the scene of an old-fashioned Heart party pre- ceded by an informal dinner, tomorrow evening.
