FATHER NETSTRAETER We do not much belie,·e in the well-known statement that the "evil men do lives after them ; the good is oft interred with their bones." At any rate its force is neutralized by the equally wel~ known exhortation, "De mortUJs nihil nisi bonum." It is natural to say nothing but good ab,out Father Netstraeter. His was a remarkably long pastorate of over half a century. He was pastor at St. Joseph's from 1872 almost to the date of his death on April 7, 1924.

It's a rare blend of "pale" and "-ish" and means sickly yellow, just like the brand of spring \Ye've had up to the present. March went out like a lion and April came in like an icicle. The radiator cover that we had taken off we had to put back .on again. We had thought of raking the leaves off the garden, but fortunately we changed our mind. We were a little apprehensive about the advent of spring until we saw the greening of a neighbor's lawn. Then we glanced up and were surprised and delighted to notice how far the tree buds had advanced.

The North Shore Line carried SJXteen million revenue passengers in 1923- two million more passengers than in 1922. These figures give an impressive picture of the North Shore Line. They tell a story of the constantly increasing traffic over all sections of the road. But - what made the two million decide to use the North Shore Line? The other fourteen million know. Many of them have told us in the letters we receive from them. And we know that the growth was inevitable, once North Shore Line standards of transportation service were made known to the public. The courtesy and friendliness of North Shore Line employees- the fast and frequent service, with trains when you want them to Chicago's Loop or Milwaukee's center the comfort, convenience, accessibility-above all, the spirit of interest manifested by North Shore Line employees in every person who travels over the road- these things have earned us the new two million.
