THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1920 W1LMETTE MAN HEADS "THE AMERICS" CLUB William H. Rowan D*»crib*d A* Lmmdmr in Amaric»niz*tion Work; Booster of Child Wolfaro "A man is seldom*honored in his own country," comments A. C. Arnold, secretary of "The Americs", a club formed since the war to pro- mote a pure type of Americanism, civic affairs and child welfare, in reference to William H. Rowan, president of the organization, whose home is at 615 Fifth street. An editorial appearing in the issue of The Lake Shore News of October 29, 1920, entitled "Americanize", prompted a word from Mr. Arnold concerning the good works of one of Wilmette's leading citizens. "You have a chap in your town," says Mr Arnold, "whose hobby is America, president of 'The Americs', a dub formed since the war to pro- mote a pure type of Americanism, civic affairs and child welfare. Part of their Big Brother movement is to care for the child in the adolescent staj?e and instill the antithesis of Bolshevism. "Mr. W. H. Rowan, 618 Fifth street, is president, and his aids are Col. John V. Clinnin and Charles Steven- son, food commissioner during the war. On Sunday, October 31, one hundred Americs and their families entertained the Allendale Farm boys (Lake Villa) with a wonderful Hallowe'en party. Aisde from the jollification the boys listened to in- teresting talks on Americanism by Mr. Rowan and Justin McCarthy, former assistant state's attorney of Cook county. Mr. Rowan is prominent in the confectionery business. He is a member of the Chicago Motor club and the Illinois Athletic club. He is a leader in Elkdom and in the Masonic order. (Editor's note: The editorial oc- casioning comment by the secretary of the Americs, alluded to the shoot- ing of a Chicago Public school teacher by a mother, entirely unac- quainted with American customs, whose son had been chided for truancy.) RECOVERS FROM ILLNESS Antonio Parlangeli, six year old son of Feri Parlangeli, proprie- tor of the confectionery at 1204 Cen- tral avenue, has practically recover- ed from a serious > attack of in- fantile paralysis which confined him to the Evanston hospital for several weeks, and is again greeting his father's customers with his sunny smile. RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PLAN RECEIVED WITH FAVOR HERE Religious education as applied in Evanston and other cities by the method of special instruction in the public schools with the consent of the parents of the pupils, was out- lined to a Wilmette audience last Thursday evening by Frank Mc- Kibben, director of Religious Educa- tion in Evanston. A large group, comprising parents of Wilmette school children, teach- ers and representatives of the vari- ous churches and Sunday schools in the village attended the special meet- ing held under the auspices of the Central school Parent-Teacher asso- ciation. The Evanston plan as presented by Mr. McKibben was received with favor at the Thursday evening meet- ing and, it is expected, will prompt the inauguration of a similar plan in j Wilmette in the near future.

Is is for men who are varietists in sport rather than specialists. Specialization is the obsession of a single-track mind. The rare thing'in the world to- day is diversity of talents. In men and in automobiles1 the great essential is the ability to - match any occasion, to cope with any emergency, and to do it with a minimum of effort and a maximum of success. The Overland Sedan does not ask for auspicious conditions under which to perform. She asks only for the open road. If it be smooth, so much the better. If not, then her Triplex Spring will make it so. For comfort is second nature to the Overland Sedan, and maintenance is the least of her difficulties. Gasoline means no more in her young life than oil in a salad dressing, and her official gallon record exceeds 27 miles. But greatest of all the merits of the Overland Sedan is her all-around usefulnessâ€"the ceaseless cycle of her service in the Decathlon of Travelâ€"her eagerness for the golf game, her readiness for shopping, her efficiency in business, her up-and-doing spirit on a tourâ€"where the road goes she will go also, swiftly, comfortably, economically, and so safely that any man who buys an Overland Sedan can trust his wife or daughter at the wheel The Economy SEDAN WINNETKA MOTOR CO. 5S2U«c^awwinnetka WM.
