A PUBLIC BENEFIT It would be a fine thing for the public if the North Western company would concrete all the roads and approaches on its Wilmette station property. At present the surfacing is only a little better than a nuisance. In wet weather it is soupy. In dry weather it is mostly dust. Probably the money already spent on these roads and approaches w.ould have paid the cost of a mudless dustless permanent s.urface. WILMETI'E 1111 Wilmette WiL 311 ARTHUR H. HOWARD In the death of Arthur H. Howard, Wilmette suffered a severe loss. His life as a citizen of our village was one of unselfi!-h devotion to communitv improvement, especially the "cause of · public education. He was a leader in civic enterprises, a man of broad vision and unusually practical wisdom. He identified himself unselfishly with the growing life of Wilmette. Mr. Howard was president of the Board of Education for the past two and a half years. .He thought much and worked hard to give better education to the youth of the village. Seing the need for a new and modern building he inaugurated a movement to meet that need. He was active in the .:ampaign to bring about the issuance of bonds to finance the undertaking. When the time came for the work of actual construction he gave liberally of his t:ime and energy to push it ahead. He almost literally put himself into the splendid new school. His death was untimely. While still in the prime of life, in the full vigor of middle age, he was forced to cease. The memory of his work for Wilmette, especially for the children, and the actual visible results of his labors will encourage and stimulate his foUowers to fight on and on in the good cause, for m~ny years to ()Orne. TRY HIM We know of a man who had the idea that if he needed glasses he'd have to go to the Loop to get them. This idea was not the result of long and careful consideration but heJd by him shnply as a matter of habit. He looked at it this way: The c-lasses he was wearing came from a Loop doctor and if he wanted new ones he'd naturally have to co to the same doctor. The time came when he found it necessary to be refitted with glasses. When could be go to the doctor's office? He never went to the Loop except on Saturdays and even then not regularly. He was working in a north shore town. Suddenly the idea occurred to him, Why not try the eye-doctor in the town where he was working? It wQuld take comparatively little time and trouble. And with the same ease he could get the glasses when they were ready. Then arose the question, Will this local man give satisfaction? He inquired of others who were wearing glasses furnished by the local eye-man. They were well satisfied. So he made the trial, and he too was satisfied. Give the local man a chance to show what good work he can do. Sample the goods offered by your fellow-townsman. You will probably find just what you want and often at as low a price, if WORTH YOUR TIME not lower. .
