These were laid before the church at the mid-week meetings of February 18 and 25. On the following week a general discussion was conducted which resulted In the taking of a straw-pledge of those present. Twenty- three pledges were turned in, made The regular monthly meeting of Wilmette Post, held at'tlie Commun- ity House on March 5tli. drew a lively crowd and gave some indication of what may be expected when the weather eases tip and lets some of the stove-warmers out into the open. The entertainment committee, un- der the able direction of Staver Moulding, had a few fire-works on hand, rescued, it is said, from the re- cent holocaust on the corner of Cen- tra! and Wilmette avenue; and when Slaver counted noses and found about thirty present he put one over ant-at-Arms out with him and com- ing back with a half dozen bricks of ice-cream and a box of co-okies. Privates being in the majority it was moved, seconded, and carried that the ex-commissioned officers present be put on "K. P.," and Captain Joe Schantz, aided and abetted by a few Lieut s. and Cols., put a fine luster on the Community House china. The Entertainment also gave a line on their next venture which is to be a Lenten Dance at the Byron C. Stolp auditorium on the 19tlt of this month, Friday night. Oakley's or- chestra (all Legion) is going to furn- ish the music, and the Sergeant-at- ten womenâ€"amounting to $21,000 over a period of five years. Sums already pledged, most of which are paid in, bring the total to $43,000. In addition to this the Woman's So< ciety has pledged $2,500 and the other organizations of the church, $1,000. A legacy on which $2,000 will be re- alized next year and additional funds by five men, eight young people and Arms is going to see that the floor rivals in slickness any section of vil- lage highway that might be selected during this winter. The public is in- vited, at one dollar per couple, and war-tax, said Finance officer Harry "Klentye. The Home Sector started something by asking a vote on a selected list of questions.

Will Make Canvass A systematic and comprehensive canvass of the entire constituency will be made within the next two weeks, when each member of every family will be given an opportunity to pledge on a live-year basis. The campaign will close with a church dinner on March 2?>, at which time the results will be announced. The dinner will bo he'd at St. Augustine's Parish House, which has generously been placed at the disposal of the Baptist. church. At the annual meeting of the Woman's Society, held at the home or Mrs. W. W. Burns, 727 Laurel ave- nue, the figure suggested by the building committee as a suitable pledge for this organization was raised 25 per cent. Similar action was taken by the senior Baptist Young People's Union at their meeting last Sunday. At the morning service on March 14, Rev. Francis Carr Stifler, pastor, will speak on the theme, "God Loveth a Hilarious Giver." A large water- color picture, made from the archi- tect's sketch of the new church will be exhibited for the first time at this meeting. Talk of Plant On Wednesday evening, March 10, at one of the most enthusiastic prayer meetings in the church's history, the interest in the campaign reached its height. After refreshments were served the members lingered to talk over their common plans long after the appointed time for closing. On. Wednesday, March 17, a unique pro- gram, including the reading of a chap- ter of the church's history, such as might be read at the annual meeting of the organization in 1970, will be presented. you want the Kighteenth Amendment repealed?" Some of the "Noes" wanted to amend it about three and one-quarter but "Reservations" were not permissible. "l>o you want a military man for President?" drew a big majority of "Noes"; and the nearest to an even split came over the question of whether or not Congress should vote a bonus for all service men. Paul I Jr.ad ley presided with distinction; showing signs of distress only when some one re-made a motion already carried, followed by a move to re- consider an amendment, and a motion to table. George Turner saved the situation by thoughtfully moving to adjourn to the ice-creain and cake. A number of new applicants were voted in. Well, as we stated above, that was the most important matter. We drilled a short time then Captain Rye dismissed the company early to let the boys play basketball. PANClNGEv^Thru,day AT JONES' HALL.
