All COJDJDUDicatiOIUJ Two thousand or more of the north shore · 1riends of Lloyd Hollister Inc. called at our new home at 1232-36 Central avenue, Wilmette, last Saturday afternoon and evening and, judging from the smiling faces and gay remarks, had a happy time. When we first .t\fter the saw the throngs surgilousewanning ing up our front stairway we were some... what alarmed, never before having been hosts to such a multitude. But before dinner time every last member of our large family had been so trained by the actual experience of meeting and escorting guests from room to room ~ that he (or she) had the qualifications necessary to be an usher in the most fashionable of churches. In fact the only one of us who might have seemed the least bit offish was Gin, our type-eating terrier, who sulked in a warm corner most of the time. As we look back over the events of those seven hours, from two to nine, we are pleased and, may we not say, proud to know that so many of our friends cared to come and call on us. Of course the weather, cl~ar and not too cold, was in our favor. But to have received four or five times as many visitors as we had any good right to expect is certainly justifiable cause {or selfcongratulation. We were all, guests and hosts, a wellbehaved company. Happy but not overhilarious. Even around the punch bowls there was no unseemly merrin1ent, such as is not seldom seen in such vicinities. Perhaps the restraint cannot all be correctly attributed to north shore decorum. A fair portion of the becoming conduct might have been due to the non-spirituous nature of the punch. May we take this occasion to thank our visitors for their cordial acceptance of our invitation and urge them and those who could not be present to come in at any time, day or night, preferably during the day. You will find us always at home to our friends. The days are coming when the scouts can camp out without fear of being snowed under. What a joy it will be to tramp out over the less frequented country roads to some open spot in the woods, pitch tents, and on a suitable fire prepare an evening meal for empty stomachs. The scouts work bard. They learn numberless useful things and when an unusually good time comes they are all ready to take full advantage ·of Ill tli · old clays wlten we used to attend communion services at a certain West Side Baptist church we heard t~e minister. repe~t a Biblical sentence which has rematned fixed in our memory. \Vhen the bread and wine had been shared by Remember the members of the church and the deacons the Needy were standing before the communion table, the ministers gave to each a collection plate. and said, "The poor we have always with us." Then the deacons took up the offering for the church .poor. In the midst of our ease and comfort we are very likely to forget that the poor we have always with us. Even in our North Shore towns where so many are well-todo, there are many who simply cannot buy the necessities of life. Food, clothing, and fuel cost money. Those who sell these commodities, though generous, cannot afford to go beyond a certain limit in giving. Therefore tt becomes the plain duty of others to help the needy. In every one of our towns there exist agencies whose explicit function it is to receive and distribute goods to the needy. Whether it be an Economy Shop, a Thrift Shop, or a Social Service Station, you can easily find some agency that will be willing and glad to help you help these unfortunates. Do your part. The Little Symphony Concerts are over this year. Music lovers have thoroughly enjoyed what Mr. Dasch and his musicians have offered from time to time in New Trier Assembly Hall. Never before has the orchestra attained the Prooide for high standard of ensemble playing which has Next Yea-r been achieved during this · year. The soloists, also, have added much to the pleasure of the audiences. But there is another year coming, a year whose symphony programs, it is hoped, will excel even that of the current year. Many have already subscribed for these future concerts. It is urged by the Orchestral Association, which stands responsible for the artistic success of these delightful occasions, that every North Shore person who intends to be a subscriber send in his check before April 1. This will make it possible to close a contract with the .orchestra in due time. Send in your checks before April 1. On February 27 a little breath of spring visited us. 1£ it was spring herself that came she stayed only a very brief time and did not get a very warm reception. But we know that it was a real visit because many of our friends recognized the welcome visitant. It won't be long now until passenger planes are plying between the ·North' Shore and Chicago. And when the day comes, as it certainly will, that travel by plane will be safe and inexpensive, why then the lines that run on terra firma will have fewer passengers. FIRST SIGHT OF SPRING .
