THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY FEBRTJARY 9, 1923I ^ " m 'vanston Hospital Garden Plan Wins Favor Throughout Country m m 11 wk The origin and development of the ommunity garden idea adopted at he Evanston hospital'is described „lly in an article in the January, 1923, suc of "Hospital Management" hicago, by ^CrTartes"L. Burlingham, 418 Harrison street, Evanston, pres- cient of the Community Gardens asso- uition and creator of the idea. The ini of helping people to get well nough cheerful outdoor surround- :t..:s and the influence of beautiful ,;pital grounds is being recognized Hre and more as a practical one in ospital work. The Evanston idea, ince it was started by Mr. Burling- • m, less than a year ago, has been .dopted by other hospitals through- Ho-t the United States anr has come in i)i- much favorable comment among l'ospital authorities. "Hospital Man- itnent" urges editorially the adop- tion of the idea by all institutions sur- nmded by sufficient grounds to make iiie plan feasible. Mr. Burlingham's article follows: While a patient in* the Evanston hospital in 1922, one of the nurses outlined for me the history of the s pi taly-and- toldâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"history ^nd completeness of the new building Hie spoke of the need of plants and flowers and systematic gardens on t*he four and one-half acres of the hos- pital property, but said the great cost of the new building would prevent material expenditures for garden pur- poses for some time. Some time later I was asked by a friend to give two plants of colum- bine to the hospital, and in that mo- ment the whole proposition was out- lined. If I, why not others?- And itr that instance the Community Gardens came into existence. With my plan, roughly formulated, I asked Miss Ada Belle McCleery, the superintendent, and through her the board, for per- mission to work out the idea,. • * We got together a nominal organ- i za t ion-^the___Cxmlmuiiity___Gardens^ Association of the Evanston hospital." There are no dues or obligations, the sole requirement for membership be- in£ a gift of a plant or of service. This group was used mostly for the purpose of publicity and giving stand- ing to the movement rather than for any arduous duties" The response to the appeal for plants was immediate. One write-up in the "News-Index" brought offers of more material than we could handle at the time.â€"We had started beds prepared for young trees, ever- greens and the growing of such vines as m*y be needed in this work. i u enc* °* our nrst season, we feel that we have passed the experi- mental stage, for President Buchanan of the Evanston Hospital association* in his annual report, gives his per- sonal approval of the work that has been done. The doctors have been unanimous in their encouragement, while the hospital personnel have ex- erted every effort to assist. In our progress we have found it necessary: To regulate our endeavors so that in no manner did we interfere with the routine of the hospital. To impress upon all that the work was not confined to any creed t)f class and that a gift of plants or of service, such as the use of automobiles to help us deliver plants to the hospitals, made one a life member of Commu- nity Gardens, a careful roster of which is kept. To ask people to keep the Commu- nity Gardens in mind when .trans- planting or thinning out their own gardens, and give the«hospital surplus stocks instead, of throwing, them away To keep in touch with those who grow flowers as a business and ask them to remember us when remodel- ing flower beds. This suggestion has had a most generous response. To keep in touch with the clergy and various organizations who will make announcements and co-operate fn other ways. Why should not the floral beauty of the hospital grounds be a community d;utyl? If proper publicity is given at times when there are interesting dis- plays it will draw many to a closer touch with what the institution re- quires.

METHODIST CHURCH Editor's Note: Accompanying is the first of a series of brief articles of in- formative value to the average taxpayer in the making of his income tax return for the year 1922. Revenue officers are visiting every county in the United States to aid tax- payers in the preparation of their income tax returns for the year 1922. Inform- ation concerning the date of their ar- rival and the location of their offices may be obtained by writing the collector of internal. revenue for the district in which the taxpayer lives. Forms for filing returns of individual net income for the year 1922 are being sent to taxpayers who filed returns for the year 1921. Failure to receive a form, however, does not relieve the tax- payer of his obligation to file a re- turn and pay the tax on time, on or be- fore March 15, 1923. The forms, 1040A for filing returns* of net income $5,000 Previous Gardner power plants have power and dependability^ With this added advantage of consistently smooth performance under all conditions, the Gardner Four is expected to make an even greater appeal to 1923 buyers. Scouts Use Workshops In Merit Badge Examinations Boy Scouts, desirous of passing ex- aminations necessary ta-j^ute-jnexit fiadges in carpentry, are making use of he grade school workshops. To earn a merit badge the Scout must have constructed some article to show his proficiency with' carpenter's tools. Other Scouts are making fire kindling sets in order to pass some of the more flenientary examinations. The manual training department is -glad to cooperate with the Scouts in their workshop duties, according to L. F. Todd, director of shop work, About ten or twelve Scouts are al- ready engaged in the work. SEALED PROPOSAL.

I Gardner Car Accomplishes Smoothness in Operation In the five-bearing crankshaft which is the feautre of the Gardner motor for 1923, Gardner engineers* have found the way to build a four-cylinder engine of exceptional smoothness irr operation. A five-bearing crankshaft in this type of motor represents an important ad- vance in automotive engineering. This feature is one of the leading attrac- tions~at~the ~show.â- ;â- â€"-- â€" Ordinarily, the crankshaft of a four- cylinderâ€" motor^ has~only"two bearings; By using five bearings with a total bearing surface of 65 square inches, the shaft is held in perfect alignment. Whipping is prevented and shaft and bearing wear is reduced to a minimum. The motor operates with smooth, multi- cylinder performance and runs through its range of speeds without a vibration point such as is found in most auto- mobile engines. the "Builders" of St. John's are Richard Witt, Miss Clara Mueller' and Harold Nilles. A number of others from St. John's will attend as visitors. It is hoped to bring the 1924 convention of these young church workers to Evans- ton.

Starting in midsummer we could do only limited work, so that our main efforts were directed toward beautify- ing the borders of buildings and edge of walks. The first planting was in the rear of the new building in a soace designated as the 'quadrangle.' Here we placed a double row of the choisest iris next the buildings and arranged that in the forthcoming sea- son we shall have in the center of this plat an oval about 35 by 15 feet devoted to varieties of. long spur col- umbine. This will be seen from many patient^' rooms, from the offices ^of the training school and from the win- dow:, of the service building. The walk leading from-this point to^aU ten hall, the nurses' home, has been trimmed with Siberian iris. Patten hall itself is now bordered with iris â€"on-th ree-s ides-whi ie-4ts-easte m-ironV heavily shaded, is finished with Fun- kia, the day lily. At the rear of Patten hall is a vege- table garden which is separated from the building by a border of lawn some 30 feet wide. Between this lawn and the vegetable gardens we are to have a hollyhock screen, 90 feet long and formed of five rows of choicest varie- ties, and on the side of this screen toward the building a hedge of Ama^ ranth to give finish The hall leading from Patten hall to Ridge avenue has been chosen by one of the sororities, Gamma Phi Beta, Epsilon chapter, of Northwest- ern university, as its especial charge and as the training school is affiiated with the university, the college girls h^ve designated their gift as the "Purple Border." Continuing along this walk to Ridge avenue we come to what weirope to make a notableâ€"feature of our entire jalsit, namely a "wild garden." called "The Nellie Burnett Wood Garden" in honor of our Evanston Training school Graduate who lost her life by ^n explosion on shipboard while go- in o- to active service during the war.
