Sta· tate Slaowiag BaDot Ia Good Organization · Gets Final lnatractiona for $31,· .Drive April 1 I I f Two hundred men and women of the village gathered in the Woman's club dining hall Thursday evening of this week to make final preparations for Wilmette's 1928 Co!!lmunity Chest cam_J>aign, to be conducted Sunday, .1\pril I, in an intensive canvass that will reach every home ip the community. It is t!te hoae of President Hector Dodds of the Community Chest association and the members of his board that- the entire quota of $30,000 in the village-wide unified weifar~ and charity drive will have been reached at sundown of that day. . \Vhile the quota for 1928 is the largest in the history of the Community Chest enterprise.t the remarkably well-lubricated campaign machinery indicates that quick work will be made of the task. Thursday's dinner found the organizatioq, workers figuratively straining at the leash in their anxiety to get on the job aQd demonstrate to the world just how promptly and generously Wilmette householders will respond to this call for funds. The Thursday dinner developed into a genuine pep ~eeti.ug at which each worker was given his final instruction in ·'salesman~hip" by Campaign Manage_ r C. Miles McDonald and other leaders in the drive. Young women of the l unior Auxiliary of the Infant Welfjlre society, costumed as Red Cross Nurses or Salvation Army lassies, served the food which had .been prepared at cost by Fred Miller of the Central Cafeteria. The campaiga organi~ation has assumed a semi-anilitafy status in th.u it is ma<!e up of colqp~ls, captains and just plain buck privates. Eac~ Colonel has supervision of a group of captains, and each captain, in turn, is responsible to ·regimental headquarters for the work of the privates -as.signed to his company. All. are under the general instructions of Gen. C. Miles McDonald and his staff. The various division Colonels and th~ir captains are ·announced as follows: . Col. Charles A. Burroughs-Captains Dr. N. P. Col~ell, Jesse Walworth, L. E. Matson, J. R. Harper, C. L. Darling, Daniel M. Davis, E. W. Pridmore. Col. Robert M. Johnvon-Captains A. ,R. Janness, Garrett F. Johnston, Dr. Harold S. Condit, William C. Morris, R. D. Burtner, David F. Hall, Russell Bottom, Edwin A. Aldrich. Col. Henry Fowler-Captains William Kix Miller, Karl D. King, Frank V. W.idger, El~_er D. Becker, John J. Moran, Benjamin C9x, Donald H. Maxwell, ·Hugh Welter, Julian Tiff;wy. Col. ~arry Kinne--Captains Harol(i Spinnev, Bruce Owens, Edward H. Burge, ·A. L. Fuller, Edwin B. Knudtson, Stacey ~- Bennett, H. J. Leach, George H. Redding. Col. Mrs. Ethel R~he-Captains Robert Tansel, F. A. Cushing-S10ith, G. T. Hellmuth, Dr. D. W. Rapp, S. J~ Duncan-Clark, - Ernest L. Schulz. Canvassers who will call upon the various business places ·)n the village are C. Miles McDonald and Dr. Charles Bailey Blake. Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes, of Wilmette, re'5ident Bishop of the Chicago Area of the Methodist Episcopal church, will deliver a Palm Sunday sermon at the meeting of the Wilmette Sunday Evening club, April 1. Bishop Hughes is regarded as among the twenty-five outstanding preachers of the day. He has become extremely popular with north shore church-goers and his presence Sunday evening is certain to attract perhaps the largest Sunday club audience of the current sea·3on. Saturday, March 31, is the day that W i I m e t t e merchants will officially usher in the Spring season, according to plans of the Retail committee of the Wilmette Chamber of Commerce. Ordinarily Spring Openings have been confined to dry goods stores, ready to wear shops, millinery shops, etc., but there was no particular rea'30n for this so far as the Retail committee of the Chamber of Commerce could see, and to prove their point they challenged every business in the village to "put forth its best efforts" and the results have been astonishing! This Saturday, then, the Wilmette shopper will s4!e evidence that "Sprin~ is here" announcing itself from practically every shop and store in the village. The drygood.s, millinery and ready-to-wear shops will show the newest of wearables ; the hardware stores will display lawn mowers, garden implements, etc., the paint stores are to offer suggestions as to the newest in home decorations, the ·appliance ~tores will have replaced the usual electric heaters and heating pads with vacuum cleaner3 for the Spring cleaning. And so it goes. Nobody knows, but matters might even go so far that one will see real honest-to-goodness spring chickens in the market windows! \Vho knows? With Name Writt· ia Village Leaders to Forsake Jobs Here to Join Big Circus Several Wilmette village leaders will desert municipal affairs Tuesday, April 17, to join the Sells-Fioto circus, which will be staged in the Chicago Coliseum that day. Village business will be entirely forgotten, at least for one evening, while these notables will don the spangles and do their stuff, including a ride on the elephants. Those who will be seen in the grand procession are Village President Earl C. Orner; Carl C. Schultz, superintendent of public works; Trustee Paul A. Hoffman; Orville Jones; Chief of Police C. W. Leggett; Melvin Humphreys, and George E. McCollum. Tuesday evening, April 17, will be Wilmette Night at the Sellf-Fioto circus, and tickets for the performance in which these ·leaders of the community will participate are selling rapidly. Monday, afternoon, April 16, is designated Wilmette Children's day at the circus. School will be omitted that afternoon to permit the kiddies to get away for the big time at the Coliseum. Tickets are on sale at the following places: Snider-Cazel Drug company, Renneckar Drug company, W. W. Winberg pharmacy, and North Western sta" tion. ' Wilmette days at the Circus are sponsored by Wilmette chapter, No. 753, Order of the Eastern Star. Proceeds will be directed into the Eastern Star fund for the new organ installed in the Wilmette Masonic lodge ball. 'fhat voters may. without fear of having their ballots rejected, write in the name of the candidate of their choice in a blank space on the ticket, has been definitely established in ~ letter received this week by Hoyt King, secretary of the Wilmette Voters' Advisory c~mJl!ittee, of Wilmette _from County Judge Edmund K. Jarecki. With contests in most ~ilmette precincts for the offices of precinct committeemen and several instances in which certain randidates' names do not appear on the ·ballot, Mr. King determined to get at the law in the matter o{ writi,!!g in names. The reply to his c1uery came in the nature o! Judge Jarecki's letter which follows: ....... Jancld'· Lett. March 23, 1928. Hoyt King, Esq., Wii!Dette, ~Uinois. Dear Sir: You submit the following question : "Can I get a letter statig that it is legal to write in the name· of a candidate for Committeeman with (X) befor it? ..

Miles McDonald, who is candidate for the office of Wilmette Village trustee, Paul A. Hoffman, a Village Trustee, and Fred . 0. Nelson. No definite reason for the withdrawals was assigned. Other candidates, whose names will be written in on the ballot at the Primary election, have consented to the vacancies created by the withdrawals. (Turn to page 52)
