Stifler, chairman of January 2 Church Council-Realtors meeting, and T. H. West, secretary of the Wilmette Church Council.) In order to make perfectly clear to the Wilmette public the agreement that was reached between the Wilmette Church council and the realtors, the following statement signed bv the chairman and the secretary of the meeting held on January 2 was received at the offices of The Lake Shore News*. In response to repeated requests from certain members of local real estate firms that the Wilmette 'Church Council assist in creating a unified sentiment in favor of Sunday closing of all real es- tate offices, a committee of the Wilmette Church council visited all the offices on Tuesday, December 12, securing the realtors' promise to keep their offices closed for three Sundays pending furth- er study of the situation.- '" Nine Honor Board '.....

Twenty-six persons were present at this dinner, including representatives of ten real -estate firms. After considerable 4rank discussion it was .moved and sec- ed that the offices be kept closed and r !t an Honor board be created to which Sy infraction of the agreement should be referred. An unanimous vote on this was not secured because certain firms felt that no sufficient opportunity for termination of the agreement was pro- vided. These firms then retired, brings ing in a counter proposal that any-firm might, on giving six days' notice, honor- ably withdraw. A compromise resolu- tion was "finally adopted reading that the agreement should be* binding until res- | cimled by action of the entire body. The Honor board/previously referred to, be- ping charged with the duty of calling the ^entire groupjtpgeih^r for this purpose f 4whetL necessary^TmY compromise res- olution was read and re-read several times by the secreary of the meeting be- fore the final vote was taken, and reads '&&' follows: â- â€¢.,., .

As stated at the time the vote was taken, a Promotion or Advertising com- -^ttee was appointed tomake plain to the he the intention of the brokers, and 'as pointed out that the majority of realtors were in favor of Sunday )y and that the only occasion- for . . agreement was to protect this ma- jority from the-few who were not will- ing to adopt Sunday closing. <> | P*. lt was a|sourged_lhat individual with- drawal merely on the basis of dissatis- faction with the agreement would not secure this .result but that it was neces- â- â- jgy tha* tWs agreement should stand â€"tttrtil a determined and reasonable ef- fort should have been made to make it effective and that only at^ muX when lhal Sunday Evening club Suhday, Feb ruary 25.

Details of the plan for the installation of an electric street lighting system are now being worked out and it is expected the Village board will be called upon within a few weeks to give approval to a definite plan. • General satisfaction has been ex- pressed regarding the board's decision to secure the services of a widely known and well recommended con- sulting engineer whose aid and advice will be sought concerning plans, speci- fications and procedure in the intro- duction of an adequate lighting sys tern.________ â€" The board was guided, in its decis- ion, largely, by a letter from the Chi- cago Board of Underwriters directed to Rev. Hubert Carleton, rector of St. Augustine's Episcopal, church and sponsor of the Children's Movies, and in which it was stated that the Parish House was an unsafe auditorium for the showing of motion pictures. Ordinance Violated â€" Village ordinances pertaining to motion picture exhibitions cover two phases of the subject it was explain- ed at^ Tuesday's board Session. The the perma one ordinance relates to nent motion picture theater, while the other has to do with %e showing of pictures under terxipola%#Stoange» ments. The Parish House arrange- ments, do not conform with either or- dinance, it was pointed out. ^The Board of Underwriters' letter stated that the Parish House com- prised a serious hazard. Statements in the letter were based upon an ex- amination of the Parish House aud- itorium by, experts in the employ of the Board of Underwriters. It is thought altogether probable that the Children's Movies will be shown in some auditorium in the vil- lage that-will conform-in- every way to the ordinance relating to the ex- hibition of films under temporary ar- rangement. This can be done, without fear of danger or law infraction in sev- eral of the churches in the village and in the public school auditorium, it is understood. --------Films Immensely Popular------- â€"The Children's Movies have^become immensely popular with the children* of the village. Films adapted to the Tiffderstanding~of the little~folks are selected with great care and the ex- pense of the showings is borne in a large measure by interested residents. St. Augustine's church has stood as guarantor in meeting the cost of the weekly showings. fimply Cannot â€"â-  Afford To Become Sick The prevalent wave of la grippe and "flumonia" has worked havoc at the Wilmette Village hall. Two weeks ago the Police de- partment was seriously crippled by the simultaneous illness of five policemen.

Tubbs, principal of New Trier township high school"fttir the past four years, has tendered his resignation to the Board of Education of the secondary school, to be effec- tive April 1. The resignation was ac cepted with regret when Mr. Tubbs explained that he was forced to give up his work here in "order to devote all his time to post graduate work at the University of Chicago, looking toward the degree of Doctor of Phil- osophy. During Mr. Tubbs' able administra- tion New Trier high school has en- joyed an enrollment increase of ap proximately 48 per cent and the fac- ulty has been almost doubled in size.
