This generous response on the part of the subscribers was viewed as certain indication that the members of the parish and their friends are prepared to "give until it hurts" in order that the dream of the great new church structure may become a reality in the very near future. Charter Mem.._ Heada Liat An interesting incident in connection with the fund campaign was the receipt of the first subscription early Monday, which wa·..; made by Mrs. Henrietta Panushka, one of the two living charter members of the church. Mrs. Panushka's husband, the late \Villiam Panushka, made the first subscription to the present church building. A pleasant surprise for the workers was the news coming from many nonmembers of the church who have declared their intention to have a part in the estahlr.shment of the new church building which they regard in the light of a rich contribution to the beauty and general good of the community. Viaiona New Edifice The proposed new Methodist church has been beautifully described by Luther W. Benson, a member of the parish, as "a vision splendid-a school. a sanctuary, and a shrine in one beautiful edifice, worthv of its builders and their community, and honoring Him to whom it 'Shall be dedicated." Plans for the new edifice, as depicted in an attractive prospectus, copies of which were distributed at last Sunday's services, have met with almost unanimous approval in tht' parish, according to Dr. Horace G. Smith. minister of the church. Will Hold High School Board Election April 14 April 14 was authorized as the date for the holding of the annual New Trier Township High school election by the school board at its meeting last Tuesday night. The terms of Mrs. George Gordon of Winnetka, and Jesse R. Gathercoal. board members, expire this year and petitions are now on file in each of the Villages of the township for their renomination to succeed themselves. both having consented to run for reelection. It is pointed out by those who have closely observed the work of the High school board that both Mr. Gathercoal and Mrs. Gordon have been keenly attentive to the duties of their offices and that they have had an important part in the forwarding of the program which has maintained the local school on a much higher plane than are most high schools throughout the country. Because of their fine work it is considered very desirable that they shall be retained on the board.
