It is a time for those inte.r ested in the work of the association to learn the scope of the activity and development going on there. Hundreds of Wilmette residents have contributed financially to the work of Arden Shore, many of whom have never seen the camp. To all these hosts of friends the camp and association the Wilmette Arden Shore board, which is headed by Mrs. Leslie F. Gates, gives a cordial, public invitation to motor to the camp Sunday to see for themselves "just what their money and interest is doing." The result of the recent campaign for soap wrappers resulted in the board's purchase of four dozen knives and four dozen forks for the camp. This week the store windows of Wilmette have contained an art exhibition of more than usual interest, the p o s t e r s painted by pupils in the seventh and eighth grades to announce the Annual Art exhibit of the W oman's club of Wilmette on April 29 .and 30, and May 1. It seems to be the general opinion throughout the village that these posters would have been decidedly creditable to artists of greater maturity, and that there :s every reason f()r honest pride in the general excellence of the work that has been done. When the Woman's club announced a series of three prizes for the best posters · announcing the Art exhibit, it did not expect such a liberal response in the form of high-class work. As matters turned out, however, the mem bers of the art committee of the du:) found themselves confronted with a real problem in selecting the best, Russell Studio when there were so many good offerMarion Fulton Mr. and Mrs. Frank David Fulton of ings to choose from.
