It is an invitation extended by WILMfttt Lin to everybody in our village to ·visit our new publishing plant at 1232-36 Central aYenue, Wilmette. We know that everybody holds a civic pride in an enterprise which marks the. march of progress and want everybody to come and ·see how WILMETTE Lift, your newspaper-magazine, is produced. Saturday, March 3-mark the dateis the day. Between the hours of 2 in the afternoon and 9 o'clock in the evening we shall hold "ope~ house." Come ·and see a modern publishing plant, as modern as can be built ; come and see your newspaper-magazine, which arrives at your door as regular as clock-work every week, in the "making." WILMI:TTE LIFE is your newspapermagazine and on Saturday, March 3, our plant will be yours. You will find a warmth of welcome ; you will see an immaculate newspaper office, which reverses the old order of chaotic disorder; you will see all the modern mechanical machinery of the publishing industry in humming operation. Ancl those who "make" WILMETTJ: L·n:-the complete staff-will b(; on the job just as they are every day and night during the week. You will have the opportunity of seeing these men of the Fourth Estate go tlarough the motions which produce your newspaper-magazine. There never has been a story more fascinating than that of the Fourth Estate. From the time the reporter gets his story and writes it, until the whirring presses whine out their song of a job well done there is a fascination-it is the "romance of printer's ink." WILMETTE LIFE invites you to come and inspect the new plant on Saturday, March 3, to peer into what may ap- , pear the mysteries of the Fourth Estate. There is an education in a newspaper plant that cannot be gained any other place and Lloyd Hollister Inc., invites all to come and be enlightened and enjoy themselves on this "open house" day. W c. have said that all are invited and mean just that. We want the children as well as their parents to come and observe what their WILMETTE LIN means to our village. To the children it will mean a new step in education and they'll enjoy it immensely. We suggest, however, that the children come in the afternoon so that the grownups may have their visit in the evening. But don't forget the day and date. !t's Saturda,., Karch 3.

Nothing mysterious about it. Just this : The Shawnee Country club, Albert N. Page, president, Tuesday evening offered its present club house as a gift to the community for a recreational and social center. The offer was formally presented to the Village board that evening by Trustee John Clark Baker who is also a memher of the Wilmette Playground and Recreation board. The Shawnee club, 'President Page explains, is happy to turn over its present structure-soon to be replaced by an imposing club house-to the community at no cost further than the expense of moving it off the premises at Lake and Michigan avenues. . Nilmette can have its own Com- amendment to the Village Zoning or- mg out of the words "private dubs" from the section relating to Class "A" residential areas, was approved and the matter tabled by a vote of the Village board last Tuesday evening. The committee, of which Trustee Paul A. Hoffman was chairman and · the other member 'frustees Han; von Rcinsperg and John Clark Baker submitted a majority report, read by Mr. Hoffman, which recommended that the matter be tabled. Trustee Baker, in making a verbal minority report, expressed objection to such proposed action and Trustee Clarence E. Drayer moved that the matter be recommitted to the committee for further consideration. Following a discussion, the burden of which was the plan of the Shawnee Cou1~tr~ club to include living quarters m 1ts proposed new club building the trustees voted to accept the com~ mittee's majority report, Trustee Orner Appoints Committee Drayer's motion having been lost for This generous offer was followed want of a second.
