Consider the fig- ures and convince yourself that Wil- mette's official nurse has a real job. The report needs no elaboration: The Report.

The beginning of the year we had another influenza epidemicâ€"though not nearly as severe as the first. I was simply besieged with requests for nursesâ€"trained, practical or un- trained. A great many calls were made but not much could be done with the exception of a little advice, instruction and encouragement. This time the epidemic affected mostly adults and our school attendance was 'â- â-  good. "The tornado caused great chaos in March but, as I was living in the tornado district, it did not take very long to find out who was hurt. : North shore nurses volunteered their services and we had the situation in hand immediately. Fortunately not many were hurt. "This has been a very busy, school year. There is an enrollment of 1278 children. These children are all weighed, measured and a thorough physical examination made. "It is very gratifying to know that such a large number of the children have had their teeth attended to and tonsils and adenoids removed since the examinations have begun. A very marked improvement over last year. Many Under Weight. "Some of the children who come to me are very much under weight and now come to the office every week to see if they have gained. "Now that Jhe teachers and pupils are better acquainted with the work of the school nurse more than 50 pupils report at the office each week with minor ailments or to report why they have been absent. The teach- ers report the absentees to the nurse. She telephones to the parents to find out why the child is out of school. If there is no 'phone a home call is made. Sometimes we feel that a wrong diagnosis has been made con- cerning the absent child and a home call is made anyway. Just recently : I was told that a little girl had a bili- | ous attack. Dr. Moore said I had ; better go and look for "spots." Al- though I had a hard time getting into the home I did find a well developed case of chicken pox. I do not see why some people object .to that per- fectly good looking, red sign that Dr. Moore loves to tack on our front doors. Finds Diphtheria. "Eleven calls were made for the Gross Point parochial school as diphtheria broke out there. This is so close to home that we have to be careful. "A great many calls outside of school work are made every month. A case of cancer has been visited for a year and a half on an average of two calls a week. Then there is old Mrs. Cox, colored. She is not so old either, but it paralyzed from her waist down, her face is twisted and she can not see very well, but she says she could be worse off," "she could be dead." "At the present time we have no poor or needy in Wilmette. The pa- tients that Mrs. Northam and I took care of two years ago are quite prosperous today. "This report tells of some of the things that keep me busy during the year and while I feel that there is still much more work to be accom- plished, I know that the work has helped a great many people. Respectfully submitted, EMMA STOPKA." IT'LL COST MORE Bv action of the Village Board Wednesday evening a charge of 50 per cent in excess of the regular rate for garbage disposal is to be made in the instance of residences and places of business not abutting on an alley. WOMEN MAKE HISTORY ,|^§| AT COMMUNITY DANCE The memory of Tuesday evening, December 7, will live long in the his- tory of Wilmette's Tuesday Evening Community Dancing class. Miss "In- quisitive" had requested that on this evening a Leap Year party be held, and the committee having duly an- nounced same, the only thing left to do was to wait and see if the women of the village would respond. They came to Byron C. Stolp school in great numbers, and it was stated that there were more automobiles around the school house Tuesday evening than had ever been seen in that vicinity at one time before. It was the largest crowd that has attended any of the Community dances, whicji was very gratifying to the committee in charge. The women found it lots of fun selecting their own partners for the dances, and it might be stated that there were none of them acting as "wall flowers" during the entire evening. Regular class lessons are given every Tuesday evening from 7:45 to 8:30, and the dancing of the evening beginning at 8:30, continues until 11 o'clock. All residents of the village are welcome. The dances are not held for profit, but to bring the peo- ple of the "village together for an evening of amusement each week. PUPILS DELIGHTED WITH NEW SCHOOL BUILDING The Laurel avenue school, Seventh street and Laurel avenue, latest ad- dition to the properties of the Wil- mette Public schools, has been open- ed for use by the kindergarten, first, second and third grades of the schools. The building is two stories in height and contains four large modernly appointed and equipped classrooms. The Kindergarten and first grade are housed on the ground floor of the structure while the sec- ond and third grade classrooms em- brace the second floor. There is also space provided for an office and lib- rary on the main floor. A rest room on the second floor provides added comfort for teachers and pupils. The spacious rooms are well light- ed, adequately heated and the latest approved ventilating system has been installed. The teachers and pupils are delight- ed with the new school. Parents and friends are invited to inspect the building at any time. The Laurel avenue school building was authorized by special election early in 1920 after the proposition had failed of authorization in a previous special election .because of the failure of those interested in the schools to appear at the polls. The building relieves a congestion in the classrooms of the public schools which had seriously impaired the in- struction of the children in the vil lage. THIS BRACE OF COPS SURE IS ON THE JOB Night patrolmen Hoffman and Lance of the Wilmette police depart- ment are a pair of wide-awake gen- tlemen. Judge for yourself in the light of this evidence. On Wednesday evening while Hoff- man and Lance were busy at police headquarters, the business section of the village was suddenly consider- ably aroused by a very apparent fusilade of pistol shots from the vicinity of the W. & S. garage on West Railroad avenue, north of Central avenue. Hoffman and Lance darted out of headquarters with clubs and pistols drawn and raced to the scene of the shooting. A score of citizens follow- ed in their wake. Some one was towing in a disabled motor car in which sat a mechanic engrossed in thedelights of producing some realistic backfiring. There wasn't anything for the pat- rolmen to do but return to head- quarters. But, dear citizens, they were prepared for an emergency More power to 'em. PUPILS OF ST. JOSEPH'S SELL CHRISTMAS SEALS LOVERS OF GOOD MUSIC SS LAUD REPRODUCING PIANO Sponsors of the musical art as in- terpreted through the medium of the reproducing piano may well be satis- fied with the reception accorded the joint Chickering-Ampico recital held Tuesday evening in the auditorium of the Evanston Woman's club. E. Carlton Kaumeyer, well known Wilmette violinist and musical di- rector, is associated with the Chicker- ing-Ampico company. \',:^j'^ â- & LOOK OVER THE LAMPS 1 The line of artistic lamps at the Lake Shore Electric company show rooms at 1135 Greenleaf avenue, are attracting wide attention among the holiday shoppers. The tree lamps also are making excellent Christmas gifts. Then there are such useful gifts as Simplex Ironing machines and Locomotive washing machines. LAY CHURCH CORNER STONE SUNDAY NOON (Continued from Page One3 Among those doing their share in the sale of Christmas seals are the pupils of St. Joseph's school who have been given stamps to the value of $100 to sell. The youngsters are working hard to duplicate their work of last year in which they earned a pennant. Te date they have sold many seals and expect to exceed last season's sale. The Gross Point Health center, under the jurisdiction of the Chicago Tuberculosis institute, received di- rect benefit from the sale of the seals. BURIAL SERVICES Funeral services were held Wed- nesday afternoon at St. Joseph's church for George Edward Schwall, infant son of Mr .and Mrs. Henry Schwall of 804 Ridge avenue, who died Tuesday morning following a brief illness.

The church formally established. Dr. Frank D. Anderson, chairman of the Baptist Executive Council of Chicago, and a resident of Wilmette, was selected as temporary preacher, for three months following, which period the pulpit was filled by sup- plies until November, 1913, when tne Rev. James P, Abbot was named act- ing pastor. In December, 1913, the Rev. B. Frank Faber of Battle Creek, Mich., accepted a unanimous call to the pas- torate of the church, beginning his duties on January 18, 1914. Three years of earnest endeavor in behalf of the infant organization and Rev. Faber found it necessary to leave the field for ministerial work in the east. In response to a unanimous call from the church the Rev. Francis Carr Stifler, of Saginaw, Mich., came to the village, beginning his pastor- ate on April 22, 1917. Except while absent from his field by special permission of the congre- gation to engage in Y. M. C. A. and other war work during the World War, Mr. Stifler has been working unceasingly and with the character- WATCH THE BIG 4 Stommch-Kidneys-Heart-Ijiver Keep the vital organs healthy by regularly taking the world's stand- ard remedy for kidney, ltjjrer, bladder and uric acid troublesâ€" GOLDMTOM- The National Remedy of Holland Car centuries and endorsed by Queen Wilhei- mina.

The rapid growth of the church departments since the war has been due in great measure to the splendid direction and leadership of the pastor. The church site at Wilmette and Forest avenue was purchased in 1915. Complete plans for a church were presented and accepted in January, 1918, under the direction of Charles L. Major, chairman of the Building committee. It was at that time pro- posed to build an edifice at an esti- mated cost of $35,000. The World war, necessarily inter- fering with actual campaigning for funds and actual building operations, the church proceeded early in 1919 with new plans calling for $80,000. The Building committee was author- ized 10 raise $60,000 and proceed with building operations on a main audi- torium. Soon after Dr. J. B. Thomas, who came to assist in the work, raised $.1,757 in cash and subscrip- tions at a single meeting of the church. On March 26, 1920, at St. Augus- tine's parish house, Dr. Carl D. Case of Oak Park, raised $102,000 in cash and pledges. * On Sunday, May 9, 1920, were held the formal Ground Breaking cere- monies, David Nelson, one of the charter members pi the church, turn- ing the first spade of ground.
