Numerous interesting facts relative to health and sanitation conditions in Wilmette are contained in the fol- lowing condensed annual report of Wilmette Health Commissioner Dr. E. E. Moore, read before a recent meeting of the Wilmette Village Board. The report indicates how thoroughly the village is canvassed in the interest of health promotion. Perhaps you thought all the while that the Wilmette Health Commis- sioner had no particular responsibil- ities. This' report will ionvince you to the contrary. (Report of Dept. of Health for If20) To The Village Board of Wilmette: Gentlemen: The standard lines of work which the local health department is expect- ed to conduct under the supervision of the Health Commissioner are' as follows: 1.

Pattison ranks high among the chess enthusiasts of New Trier Township High school, which fact may or may not be of general inter- est. He isn't expecting to be carried on the shoulders of the exuberant chess fans, but, for a moment, he basks in the sunlight of popularity while the school athletes are passing through the low period of the sports season, namely baseball. Pattison tops the chess tournament contestants with a figure of 15 1-2. The other contestants finished in the following order: Fenn Germer 15. David Camelon 14, Robert Spauldtng 13 1-2, Mont- gomery Major 13, Thomas Fitch 12 1-2, Ralph English 12, Philip Eisen- f'rath 9, Stanley Wheatley 4, C, Smith Incidentally, New Trier High romp- ed away with the chess honors in with schools of the Sub- urban group of high schools and sev- eral prep schools in Chicago.
