Baylis, Choir Director . John G. Baylis of Evanston, who has JUst completed twenty years as choirmaster and Sunday school superintendent of the Church of the Holy Comforter in Kenilworth, has been presented with the parish gold medal for unusual and distinguished service. During the twenty years of his connection with the Kenilworth church Mr. Baylis has served under six rec tors. He has been instrumental not only in the building up of the Sunday school, but of the parish itself. The Sunday school attendance now averages about 150, while the parish has grown from a small mission church to a parish of more than 300 members. Four of the fourteen boys in the parish choir when Mr. Baylis became connected with it twenty years ago returned to pay tribute to their choirmaster on the occasion of his anniversary. Thirty-five former choir boys and girls took part in the observance. The parish gold medal given in recognition of Mr. Baylis' service was presented to him by the rector, the Rev. Leland H. Danforth.

Rogers, known as "Smoky the Fire Clown," in the public schools of the district. "Smoky" who is known to millions of children in all parts of the United States, is sent out by the Western Actuarial bureau to teach the children how to · prevent fires and how to put them out. Many children owe their lives to this teaching. "Smoky" appeared at Glenview and Northbrook on December 3, Deerfield and Highland Park on December 4, and before the children of Wilmette on December 5. December 4 was held open for Winnetka and Glencoe, but the schools of these villages had other events scheduled on this date which made it impossible for .him to appear. The Real Estate board is to be commended for its efforts in providing such instruction for the children ~f the north shore. -oMr. and Mrs. Wharton Clay of Kenilworth were at hom~to their friends on \Vednesday of last week.
