At a meeting with representatives ot the Wilmette Church councijl Tues- day of this week, the Wilmette Post, No. 46, of the American Legion de- cided definitely to abandon plans 'for a wrestling exhibition previously planned in the interest of swelling the post's Memorial building fund.

George P. Magill and Rev. Leland Danforth. Call. Move Unpopular They explained that the proposed wrestling exhibition would, in their opinion, have a derogatory effect up- on the legion's plans to secure the co-operation of Wilmette citizens in their campaign for a Memorial build- ing fund. The ministers promised to stand'behind and co-operate with the legionnaires in every way possible in their »entcrprises in the village. Followng the reading by Ralph Wessel of several letters from mem- bers of the Village board announcing revocation of the permit for the wrestling exhibition, the members voted to abandon the plans for that e_of entertainment, though main- taining that the proposed venture had been misrepresented to the public of the village through misinformation from-TOiimrs^Otnrcesi^ - â- â- -â- ^^ â- â- :::â- '-:-><â- --*•?, Appeal for Clothing Wessel also reported on conditions at the Speedway hospital at Maywood, announcing that another automobile- load of clothing was to be dispatched to the needy ex-service men on Fejj-. ruary 18.

Clothing may be left at police head- quarters in the Village hall. Those desiring to contribute in this manner are asked to telephone Carl Renneck- ar at Wilmette 28.

With the popu- lation of the village increasing so rap- idly, a public institution like the Ppb- hribibrary must also grow rapidly to keep pace with the demands mads up- on it. The money available from the tax levy for the purchase of books has proved entirely inadequate. Sev- eral times it has been suggested to the Board of Library Trustees that the situation be presented to Wilmette people to afford them an opportunity to make gifts of money and books to the library: ^r is thought that there ly many idle books inâ€"Wilmette, that would gladly be givefrby'"the"owtte*sf if the need of the public were known, also that there, are many people inter- ested in Wilmette's public affairs who woiild wish to help financially in the emergency. To this end the Board of Library Trustees has consented to set aside the week February 18-25 as Wilmette Public Library Gift week. During this week every resident of the village will be given the opportun- ity to present the library with books (juvenile books are particularly need- presented will be used for the e-oar ed) and money. Any and all money so presented will be used for the pur- chase of books, in the effort to make the collection an adequate one.

A second letter from H. J. Kaufman,, an engineer, and directed to Paul A Hoffman, village trustee, spoke in glowing terms of the proposed light- ing system, characterizing it as en- tirely feasible and the best the village could install.
