OAK WOOD TRACT HISTORIC sm Edge of What Wat Once a Tree-Clad Indian Reserva- " Writer States WANTED ASl A PARK Last Remaining Strip Virgin Forest ^ of By S. J. DUNCAN-CLARK (for thm WilflMtto ItBproT«m«nt At- .. •ociation)_________.......... The camera brings to readers of The Lake Shore News a picture of the forest tract, between Oakwood avenue and Isa- bella street, on Main street, which the , Wilmette improvement association and other citizen groups are seeking to save for the village. What the camera shows is only the outer view of the charm and beauty which lie beneath the shadows of these Trees; but it is the view which the stranger to Wilmette gets from the win- dows of the train as he enters or pasws through the village. It is the first im- pression of the new arrival. It is an impression which those who want to preserve it believe is much more likely to induce desire to linger and to. make a home in this community than it houses or shops or factories greeted the eye at the village gateway. Unletthese trees spring spreads its carpei|i 0 loveliness, gemmed with a variety-Mf form and color, and summer brings heW beuaties.

The-^ak-trees, which are one of the glories of the vil- lage, was used to describe the boundaries of her reservation.
