The organization now being formed plans not only to draw within its membership all the available talent in Wilmette (and who knows how much undeveloped and undiscovered talent we have in our town), but, through its worjf hopes to attract the interest and co-operation of the entire north shore. Pageantry, depicting the history of the founding by the Indians of Wil- mette and surrounding villages, is but part of its plans. Real dramatic endeavor will be attempted, and it is hoped achieved, and this dramatic endeavor will not be confined to interpretative efforts, creative ability will be encouraged and it is the hope of the founders that many plays will not only be enacted but actually written by residents of Wilmette and north shore villages. Hold Founders Session The first founders meeting of the Ouilmette Players was called this week in the parlors of the Congre- gational church. A number of can- didates "tried-outs" met with the committee and the majority will probably be accepted and assigned to the various departments to which they are best fitted. The next meeting of the founders will be held this evening at the Congregational church. At this session it is hoped that every citizen of Wilmette who feels interested in the development of the idea or who feels that he has within him the possibility of participating, even though it be only in a minor part, will assemble and give the founders en- couragement by their presence. The list for charter members will be kept open until early in December. With these members a permanent organ- ization will be' formed and officers elected who will direct the develop- ment of this movement. I Remarkable Possibilities The "Ouilmette Players" is in em- bryo. Some day, and at no far distant date, they may add to their title, "The Celebrated Ouilmette Players". It depends upon the response the founders receive to their call to every citizen (young or old) to help them organize. Attend- ance at the meeting next Friday night is earnestly urged. The Ouilmette Players will be under the direction of a skilled leader who has had broad experience and marked success in this work. Don't be modest!

A fine program of rare in- terest has been arranged. As there has been quite a demand for tickets, it would be advisable for those wish- ing to attend the recital to apply early, at the box office, for reserva- tions as the seating capacity of the hall is somewhat limited. The violin- ist will be assisted by Miss Eloise Bedlan who is well known in Wil- mette circles. Among his latest club appearances, the one before the Ravenswood Woman's club, received the follow- ing comment: "Longing", a fantasy, which was composed by Mr. Lusk, was enthusiastically received and the "Spanish Dance", by Sarasate, was played with brilliant dash. Milan Lusk himself a master violinist play- ing with skill and great feeling."â€" The Ravenswood Citizen, October 30, 1920.

CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS (Continued from Page 6) At the meeting las'. Friday of St, Augustine's Guild luncheon was served at 12:15, followed by a busi- ness meeting. There were in attend- ance about 100. The women are working hard in connection with their sale at the Woman's Club early in December, at which time it is also planned to have a turkey dinner, fol- lowed by dancing. The date will be announced later. Rev. Stephen A. Lloyd of the Con- gregational church, will be the principle speaker. < Bishop Anderson has called at St. Augustine's for next Wednesday evening, November 17, at 8 o'clock, a meeting of the teachers and officers of all Episcopal Sunday schools in Evanston, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe, Highland Park, Lake For- est and Waukegan to form a church school institute, which will meet monthly in Wilmette for the train- ing of teachgrs and church school officers. The selection of St. Au- gustine's by the Bishop and Depart- ment of Religious education as one of the Diocesan centers for this im- portant work is a tribute to the po- sition of leadership St. Augustine's is assuming in the rapid development and growth of its work in religious education of the young. On Sunday morning, at 11 o'clock, there will be an inovation in the service. Instead of the regular morn- ing prayer (which will be held earlier, at 9 o'clock) there will be a short talk on baptism by the rector, after which candidates of different ages, infants, children and adults, will be baptised, thus admitting them into membership of the church. Last Sunday morning over 100 members of St. Augustine's partook of holy communion. In his sermon to a large congregation, the rector discussed the Episcopal church as a Bible church, a layman's church, and a church for Americans.. This was the first of a series of Sunday morn- ing talks on membership in the church, intended as preparation for confirmation on Decernber 19. A class for the boys and girls of C. H.

They are said to be largely attended. In addition to this a class for adults is being formed, at which opportunity for questions and discussions will be given. This class meets in the rec- tor's study Sunday evenings at 8 o'clock and is intended .for men and women and all young people over fifteen. The vestry of St. Augustine's met Wednesday ' evening in the rector's office to transact the regular busi- ness of the church. CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH Dr. Robert W. Gammon, secretary of the Congregational Education so- ciety, will be the speaker at the Sun- day morning service next Sunday. Dr. Gammon has, since Dr. Herring's sudden death last summer, taken charge of the Congregational World movement in the mid-west district, and there is probably no better man in all Congregationalism who is better fitted to tell the Congrega- tionalists of Wilmette of this great forward movement. Mr. Lloyd will use as the subject for his Junior Congregation sermon the subject, "Mending Holes". ; Wednesday night is Church School night. The programs for these meet- ings are planned to help anyone who is interested in children; parent, teacher or those who wish they could teach but feel incapable of the responsibility, members of this or any parish. The program for the evening be- gins with a supper for the teachers of the Primary department which will be followed by a discussion of the problems and plans of that particular department. This part of the pro- gram is open to the teachers and officers of this department alone, and are conducted by the Primary Sup- erintendent. Miss Wheelock. At 7:45 o'clock the open meeting will begin with a short devotional service to be followed by the pro- gram as planned, by the Religious Education commission. This week the commission will introduce the first of a series of lectures to be given by Mr. Lloyd on Child Psy- chology, the subject for the evening being "The World of the Little Child". Time will given to the answering of questions and for dis- cussion. Directly after the lecture the teachers and officers of the Congre- gational Church school will hold their regular monthly meeting, which will be conducted by the Church school superintendent, Mr. J. M. Irvine. Have you #?ver wondered how a newspaper could be sold on the streets of Chicago in less than five minutes after the wires have told of a great decision?

ALL DRUGGISTS SELL IT Mouthpieces THE mouthpiece is an importan t part of your telephone. When it is broken, the sound waves are imperfectly transmitted and the service suffers. In Chicago approximately 70,455 broken telephone mouthpieces have to be re- placed yearly. " Think of the labor and the material involved in replac- ing 70,455 broken mouth- pieces in the offices, homes, factories and warehouses of the city. Careful handling of the telephone instrument avoids waste and faulty service. ; ^ CHICAGO TELEPHONE COMPANY mm ?%fe
