-IE LAKE SHORE NEWS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1918 NEW NECROPOLIS IS ON GREEN BAY ROAD John Western of Evanston is Founder of North Shore Cemetery Being Built North of Wilmette. SIMONDS MAKING PLANS Noted Landscape Artist is Acting As Consulting Gardener Now. Springtime will see dozens of labor- ers toiling with shovels, barrows, trowels and the other tools of gard- ening and of masonry in a natural park in Lake County, just north of Lake Forest. They will be planting the rolling surface in lawn and shrub- bery. They will be laying a network of gracefully curving walks and drive- ways upon the park. They will be marking the entrances to the beauty spot with imposing and dignified granite gateways. In this task this force of workers will be continuing the development of North Shore cemetery, upon which a good start was made last summer. Those men will be working under the direction of John Western of Evanston and the,y will be carrying out the landscaping part of his plans for the North Shore cemetery. This cemetery was recently opened by the Modern Cemetery and Mausoleum Company, of which Mr. Westerp is the president and the founder. Built for All Time. Location of the cemetery, twenty miles north of Wilmette and thirty- five miles from the center of Chicago, adoption of a plan for a permanent maintenance fund, equipping the burial park with lasting roadways, drainage systems and making imper- ishable gateways and records—all these Mr. Western said, were prompted by the conviction that "a city for the dead should be built for all time." When the present generation and the present century and succeeding centuries have passed, the graves in North Shore cemetery will be still green and recognizable, and will be undented by the encroachments of a growing city, in the belief of Mr. Western. On Green Bay Road. ' The new cemetery is on the Green Bay road, a thoroughfare for the development of which Lake and Cook Counties have just appropriated $2,- €00,000. It is thus easily accessible by automobile from Wilmette and Chicago. It is also easily reached by electric or steam trains, but is not close enough to them to suffer from the noise and smoke. Observing that Chicago in its rapid growth had practically ruined several cemeteries, Mr Western selected a spot which the growth of the city will not reach for generations. Permanent Maintenance Fund. Noting also that in many of the older cemeteries graves have now fallen into decay and are unsightly spots, Mr. Western decided upon a policy for taking care of the burial places in the North Shore cemetery for all time. After all the lots have been sold and occupied by graves, the cemetery will continue to be a well and reverently cared for park, stated Mr. Western. In the first week of each month his company is placing with the Chicago Title and Trust Company as trustee 10 cents a square foot for each .lot which it has sold in the previous month. The cemetery is located on a high ridge about 125 feet above Lake Michigan, so that perfect drainage is assured. In the part that is already developed, permanent drains have been laid seven to eight feet below the surface. And this system will be extended as the cemetery is devel- oped. Noted Landscape Artist. The sloping and ggntly hilly nature of the park offers unexcelled advan- tages for landscaping. The drive- ways and sections were laid out by O. C. Simonds. a landscape architect of national reputation who lias spe- cialized in cemeteries and who is acting as consulting landscape gard- ener, i Christian Science Chaplain for Navy CHURCHES Announcements 0/ the strokes held in the carious Wilmette Churches Christian Science.

Under the auspices of the Crescent Circle of the Woman's Guild of the Congregational Church, Ralph Bing- ham, one of America's greatest fun makers, who is scheduled to appear in Wilmette on Saturday evening, March 9. has filled more return dates in more towns and cities than any other humorist. In all he has given 7,000 performances. As a member of the Lamb's Club, New York, he has played in their "Gambols," He has twice been elect- ed president of the International Lyceum Association. He is also a member of the famous Pen and Pencil Club of Philadelphia. Mr. Bingham's program consists of stories and music. "The Colored Picnic" and "A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" are two of the pop- ular numbers on the program. Bing- ham is a violinist and pianist as well as a story teller. He uses these in- struments to illustrate his stories. Mrs. Bingham, also known on the platform as an entertainer, will prob- ably accompany Mr. Bingham to Wilmette and take part in the pro- gram. They are to visit friends here over the week-end and it is due to this visit that this program could be arranged. Opie Read, the author and now president of the Chicago Press Club, writes of Ralph Bingham as follows: "If humor be a gift of the gods, there was on high Olympus a mighty deal of tittering when Bingham was born. There are 'tunny' men and they make us groan; there are 'hu- morists' that make us weep. But there are philosophers of creative mirth, and for them we are grateful. A mere jest may be of flimsy quality, but true humor is Nature's economies set to an inspiring tune. Bingham is a humorist of the highest order, because your soul laughs with his own. In his mind are all the bright colors of universal fancy; in his heart is the glow of the cherished fireside. His evening on the platform is as clean as new leaves in the forest; and you come away as from an Arden of rest, where brooks have sweetly sung." Wilmette Preabyterlaa Church.
