RENOMINATE 'Co·,l. rJhoir Will Wt~nderi·t Y o·th Present Ca·talfl tJI 11rul Bo,s M11rk the Church o· Allril S A tlve·t of S/Iring Brief as was the glimpse of spring, springtime festivities have started with a bang and practically every type of ha~binger of that elusive phaptom has slipped into \Vilmette-just as the ph~nto.!Jl itseJf has slipped in and away again to make room for the return of "Winter" to the throne. Chief Charlie Leggett and Capt. Henry Brautigan, as ~II as the lesser sateiJites of the local civic emporium, glance with grim forbodings on the passing of the hours and the approach of evel\tide. For shortly before the sun goes down, into the warm confines of the jail pass those who come and go and never weary of the trailthe bo's. Sometimes two, sometimes twenty. "The bo's ye always have with _you," remarks Chief Charley as he bangs the iron doors and closes the "gates of the city" for the night. Nor are the "wearies of the high'!ay" the only harbingers of spring to drift this way. On Sunday as Patrolman Willi~m Kreul marked the arrivals at Mr.· Insult's Elevated terminal on Linden avenue and stood prepared to start those undesired upon a return trip, he perceived emerging from the station doors a young ladl' of 15 years ·whose lack oi certainty at one-~ marked her as one "bound nowhere in particular." Mr. Kreul aided in finding her destination. A short time later her father arrived on the scene and conducted her back to Maywood. Less than a half hour later Mr. Kreul again stepped into the news of the day by assisting in a like manner one Lawrence Barber, aged 13, and late of Magnolia street, Chicago. Mr. Barber ret.urned home, having been absent for three days and being weary of his travels. I.ate Sunday afternoon Patrolman George Schaeffer descended upon a miniature crusade started for Adams, Wis.~ and featured materially in the defeat of the three knights of which it was composed, known in their divers acquaintanceship as George Vojech. 14, of 4319 Lake Park avenue; Ch!irles McAllister, 12, of 1148 East Fortythird street; and Nathan Richter, 13, of 4206 Greenwood avenue, all of Chicago. They remained as guests of the Village until Monday when the inclement weather influenced to· a decided extent their deCision to return to Chicago. Chicago patrolmen were also important factors in that decision. The Chorus choir and quartet of the First Congregational church will sing the cantata, "Olivet to Calvary," by Maunder, as a part of the church's Holy Week celebration on Holy Thursday evening, April 5, at 8 o'clock in the church auditorium.

Solo parts will be taken by Mida Anderson, soprano ; May Wall, contralto: Robert Taylor, teno.r, and Lester Smith, basso. Amy Lesbe Toskey is the director, and Annie May Haye-s Bivona, the organist.
