August 3, 1928 WILMETTE · LI·F-E BUY 360 · ACRE SCOUT CAMP AT SPRING LAKE North Shore Area Council Boy Scouts of America Acquires Ideal Site in Wisconsin A camp site in northern Wisconsin comprising 360 acres and taking in the entire shore line of more than two mil~s on Spring Lake has been negotiated for by the North · Shore Area Boy Scout Council. , Immediately after the formation of, the north shore council two ye_ a rs ago, the camp committee~ headed by Charles A. Steele of Glencoe, began planning a summer camp. Members of the committee have examined various properties and several weeks ago recommended to the executive board that the three ownerships comprising the entire territory around Spring Lake be purchased. Some time ago the executive board approved the proceedings and last week the papers were signed, making the camp a surety. Occupy Chicago Campa As its "good turn," the Chicago council welcomed the scouts from the North Shore council at their camp last year and during the present summer. Nearly a hundred scouts attended Camp Checaugau last summer and approximately a hundred and fifty this summer. It is estimated that more than 300 of our 930 North Shore scouts under the leadership of their own scoutmaster will attend the new camp next vear. Sp'ring Lake, on which the camp will be built, is located 290 miles north of New Trier, 35 miles southeast of Rhinelander. It is 25 miles northeast of Antigo and only 20 miles off of highway 55 to the scenic hi&hway through the Menoillinee Indian reservation. Spring Lake, on which the camp will be built, is 30 miles from the edge of the Shawno Indian reservation and 5 miles from the scenic Wolf river.

Cleaning Busines~ IENlWORTH IS BUSY MENDING SIDEIALKS Property Owners Co-operate with Village Ofliciala in Repairing Bad Stretches A permit to operate a cleaning and dry cleaning · plant in Wilmette was granted the firm of Schultz and Nord last week by the Wilmette Zoning board which has had · the request for apermit for the plant under consider. 'tion for several months. The plant was put in operation for the first time last Saturday morning.· In granting the permit for the plant to be operated by the well known \Vilmette tailoring and dry cleaning concern, the Zoning board ruled that the proposed enterprize was permis · sible unde'r the Wilmette Zoning law, complying with the provisions of the measure in every particular.

Cham pion Net 1'ournament Opens; Competition Keen The first few days of play in the preliminaries of the annual tennis tournament conducted by the Wilmette Playground and Recreation board have witnessed some very enthusiastic games. Although it is much too early to predict winners in any of the three divisions, present indications are that the finals will see some brisk rivalry for the championship cups. Thirty-eight entries had been made at the final bookings made last Monday noon and the first of the preJiminary games were played Monday evening between Fred Quayle and ]. C. Blaylock. The set was won by Quayle 6-1, 6-4. Each entrant has been assigned an opponent by D. C. Stone, manager of the meet, and all preliminary games Automobile Ride Brings must be played off by August 6.

Schultz Back from Kenilworth has taken definite steps to improve its sidewalks, which have been in need of repair for some time. Letters have been sent from the village offices to property owners whose sidewalks are in bad condition advising them to make the necessary repairs, and the work has already been· started. The Kenilworth ·Village board desires to avoid levying a special tax against the abutting properties to make these repairs, as this would be considerably more expensive than to have the work done by private contract. The board is therefore urging that the work be done by some contractor at an early date. Contractors AYailable The following contractors have taken Rev. W. E.
