I 'appreciate the*. privilege. the league hàs conferred ,upon me in asking me to address it ton.igh-lI Lam happy to be colfted amiong those who nmake their homes in Wilinette. I have f ouid, it a good place in which.to live. -My only regret is that the hours which I may spend, in it are limited, for the Most part,"to tfhose betwéen 7 ini the evening and 8-in the morningi. A little More of its daylight tirne would be desirable. Those of you whio are able to enjoy it evoke my envy. *And'yet I have seen.enougli of Wil- Mette to be-convinced. that it lias splen-. did possibilities as a home1 conimunity. Neglect has, perhaps, allowed some of thern to be duninîished in the passing of fthe years. The organizàtion of the Wilmette Çivic league is a portent and promise that the era of neglect is at an end. If it lives up to the terms of. the prospectus which its wise leaders have drafted, and a copy of which I have read with. almost complete ap - proval, the possibilities whiclî still remain are likely to be satisfactorily realized. Praises .Wihuette Spirit- The expansion of the leag ue rep- resents the growth of a conscious coxnniuflity spirit in Wilniette.. With- ,out that intelligent development is unattainable. With it there are no desirable ends that lie beyond range' of accomplishmeiit. It lias béen in- teresting to watch the grotNth of that pii, ~ the village. I1 think' several factors have contributed to it. The Wilmette Sunday Evenitig lub-a, pioneer enterprise in the cooper ationT of churches-ýhas been one facetor. It. 'las helped to prevent the tertion of, those, sectarian barriers which have fflaved havoc with community lf in many Anerican towns. The Wil- has been need for anl organization open to ail and comprehensive ini its scope-an organization to which nothing that affects the welf are of the village, will be foreiga, and no villager. alien. I arn encouraged té believe that organization has, corne into, being; that it is represented here tonigbt in the Wilmette' Civic league, Minmette, has background,, traditions, history. Time will .flot permit that .I should dwell upon the beginnings of settled if e in- this village; upon the days when the roving Pottawattomies vanished before the invasion of the less, nomadic white man. There is a glainor of, romance upon our past. lu the eve-ý ning shadows as I ,rcturn, to my home f rom the great City to the south ,of us my: imagination, pictures the original American, the only genuine 100 perc ent American, f ollowing the trail in single file through the f orest which onice clothed 'this region. We have left a .f ew trets whielh stûi . remember those days, but our ruthless modernisrn is rapidly destroying themn, and ,with themn van- ishes ïnto -the yesterday of the. Indians the glory and the beauty which we had as a heritage f romn Nature. 1 note with .wholehearted satisfaction a paragraph in the basic statement of principles for this league, which reads as folows: ",We advocate. the establishment of a Village Forestry department to aid in the care of Wilmette's beautiful trees. That. is ex~cellent, although a littie be- lated. Thé rarelessness .and indifférence of a crude comrnercialismi have already madle tragic inroads on this splendid as set. A rider is added to this recom- mendation which strikes -me less favor- ably-"The departmnent should, be rev- enue producing.'" As. a merely. incidentai* consideration that, peCrhaps, is ail riglt; but are there flot sonie things for which we. can spend as -a conxmunity because of their initrinsic value in the general scheme of human happiness and- wel- fare wVithout wanting to hear themetal- lic clang of the cash, register as it rings up a dollars -and-cents profit? If the trees be sayed at ,an honest and reasonable costf that is, to my niind, sufficient return. . Main tve2m f * itcr ai ie nuh m e in uay tona common intere st. In its purpose O Beach, FIa.
