40 WILMETTE LIFE March 29, 1929 Holy Week Makes Quiet North Shore Society Activity National League Broadcasts Voters Service Programs BY JEAN TEN BROECK Committee Chairman Chase House Will Miss Lillian Kroll Weds Albert E. Hall Saturday Receive ·Proceeds From Play April I "The Critic" which is to be given at the Goodman theater on April 1, for the benefit of Chase House settlement and Day nursery, is attracting much attention from friends and admirers who have watched this interesting work develop during the past few years. Chase House is situated at 211 South Ashland boulevard, in the center of what was, not so many years ago, the heart of the old aristocratic West side. The settlement is doing a unique work in ·trying to raise the standard of living in a neighborhood where in many . cases whole families live in one room and where the mother of the family is obliged to take her children each morning to the Jlttrsery to be cared for while she is at work. The work done is according to modern nursery school principles which mean the education of parents and children along the lines of constructive occupation and good habit training, the impressing of behavior patterns on the child, and the education of the parents to co-operate in and to continue this work. Once a week a Bible Study hour i.-; held in which Christian virtue lessons are used. Many of the children haYe no religious training- anywhere else. There are two Mothers' clubs. Their program is varied, with · sewing, outings, concerts, bunco parties, also work for the bazaar as their contributions to the house. The Girls' clubs have had many fine entertainments during the year including folk dancing, sewing, and music. The two Scout troops have been active and have also done some very good ·service to Chase House. Bishop Sheldon M. Griswold of the F.piscopal diocese of Chicago is president of the board of trustees of Chase House. Thomas L. Ballard is vicepresident and treasurer, and the Rev. John F. Plummer of the Church uf the Epiphany, secretary. Mrs. Robert G. Read of Wilmette is president of the auxiliary which is working with enthusiasm to make the theater party at the Goodman a success. Among the other · churches represented in the auxiliary, are St. Augustine's, Wilmette, with Mrs. Frank Sprague a member of the Auxiliary committee; The Church of the Holy Comforter, Kenilworth, represented by Mrs. George Richards; and Christ Church, \Vinnetka, by Mrs. Clarence ).felhope. Holy Week lays its wand of quiet over north shore society. A~Jril promises a reawakening. Cnusual zest, we fell, will accompany social life for the ne?Ct few weeks because of the unusual kindness of a weather man, who. in the face of all skepticism. seems really to have spring in his heart. . An announcement comes to our desk this week from Kenilworth concerning the radi~ programs the National League of Women Voters is sponsoring. This broadcasting has. we believe, an appeal that is general for women living on the north shore. We quote it here\vith: "The League of Women Voters has begun the series of radio programs which it calls the Voters Service programs. The first of the series was at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening. March 19. The programs will continue at this hour for four consecutive weeks. with twenty four stations, including \VTMJ and KSD. carrying the p" rograms. "'Tariff and Living Costs' was the subject last week. The two speakers who discussed this subject were Professor Raymond T. Bye of the Universitv of Pennsylvania who spoke on 'Tariff and the Consumer,' and Lynn Edminster of the Institute of Economics at the Brookings Institute. Washington. D. C .. whose topic was 'Can the Tariff be Made Scientific?' " The Radio Citizenship school is designed to give its radio audience the background of important and ever present issues in the conduct of the federal government. E a ch speaker will be an authoritv on his particular subject. The school is modeled on the plan of manr successful citizenship schools which are conducted bv the Leag-ue of "'-'omen Voters in co-operation \Yith colleges and universities. Plans are being made for listening-in Radio class~s with an enrollment of students to follow the entire course of programs ." 0. E. S.
