F5 CHICAGO PROTESTS "DISCRIMINATION" Held* Closlnf of Beaches and Parks To Crowds From City la Underao. cratic and la Violation of tho Laws of IIHnoli CLAIM ACTION IS UNJUST North Shoro Officials Doclaro Rulo Enforeod This Summor It Design- ed To Protoet Residents Declaring that the policy of keeping "hicago people off the beaches and >ut of the parks in north shore com- munities was undemocratic, discrimi- natory and in violation of the laws )f the nation and of the state of Illi- nois the Chicago City council this week addressed resolutions to the villages of Wilmette and Winnetka constituting a protest against the alleged practice of barring Chicago people from local recreation places. City Clerk, James T. Igoe, of Chica- go, recently directly a certified copy of the resolutions to the Wilmette Village Board for consideration by that body. â-  The resolutions refer in particular to the placing of conspicuous signs n north shore villages calling the at- tention of passing motorists to the act that the bathing beaches and >arks were reserved on Sundays for ocal residents. "The heat of this summer is un- precedented." the resolutions state in part, "and motorists travelling through villages and towns outlying the City of Chicago would be afford- ed relaxation by stopping at the beachesâ€"inâ€"saidâ€"villagesâ€"an4â€"towns and taking advantage of the bathing faciKtfes before proceeding on their trips. Un-American Action "Such restrictions," the statement ontinues, "are discriminatory with- out reason, un-American and un- democratic and clearly violate the Constitution of our State........the streets, parks and beaches located within the limits of the City of Chica- ro have no such unjust discrimina- ion. THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 1921 The resolutions direct the City Clerk of the City of Chicago to re- quest the Board of Forest Preserve Commissioners of Cook County "to p[?te*},a,,.gu.cn uni«»t and unreason- able discrimination by villages and towns along the north shore.'7 North shore officials in statements made earlier in the summer pointed out clearly that the alleged "discrim- ination" was not in fact discrimina- tion but rather an endeavor to reserve the beaches and parks of the village for local residents who, by reason of the great influx of people from places outside the village had been actually crowded off the beaches and out of the parks by the throngs of pleasure seekers. These picnickers, it was further ex- plained, were not satisfied to confine their activities to the public beaches and parks but were wantonly tres- passing on private properties and leaving in their trail an ugly litter of waste paper and the residue of lunch- eon and beach parties. Aimed At Undesirables The rule established in these vil- lages, it is said was aimed at a certain irresponsible and undesirable ele- ment which, in its picnicking and rec- reation habits, become a menace and nuisance in any locality. CHURCHES NEED MORE PUBLICITY, SAYS PASTOR Boston.â€""Churches need more pub- licity. "People no longer attend churches from a sense of duty; they must be lured away from golf, and they must pay for sermons as other goods are paid for." So says Rev. Dr. Albert C. Diffen- bach, Unitarian minister of Boston, editor of the Christian Register, who -has-sta^rted-a-campaign-f or-improve^ ing sermons, and making churches more popular. He thinks a good hustling advertising agent in churches would make rich returns. "Ministers should study advertising methods," he says. "With them it would be a matter of application, for they have trained and versatile minds." , A Phone Call and 30c Places a three-line ad *•"*â- -*.«!
