in maiiy wayvs the Wilniette Wel- fare office is both.,a safety valve and a focal point in the time of dire or emiergency need of some of the Wilmette citizens.. There must be soine place wbere the responsible beads'of families can go and. unfold their helpless problemrs. Obviously this office with its limited means cani- not, meet them ail, in. a material way, but through its contacts and informa- tion it can act as a clearing bouse to other agencies& more properly equip- ped to meet the task of the moment. Unless tbere was some such place, wheré people confused with their do- mestic economic problemscudgo for syMpathetic and earnest consider- ation, a backfire of resentment and trouble would resuit. Besides humnan considération requires that help be given. O.ne'sbest intentions are often baf- fled by the nieeds of the situation and the inited means at one's disposal. Here is a famnily' in absolute need of oil in the tnidst of bitter coki. The county doesn't furnisls it. What to do? Another necds food imniedi- ateiy, before the county. can ordinar- ily function. Here, is. another needing. inedicine.ý etc. Ail oôf these things cost real nioney, iwhich we have not.

CHILD STUDY GROUPS The. first. week of the month brought the meeting dates of the Child Study groups. Tuesday, March 6,, in the1 Laurel schooL witniessed, the -Flow to Enjoy Our Children" lecture by Dr. Kaharine Wright, with an hâtir of. discussion. This was a follow-up of "Self- Expression De- %,eloped," last month's topic. Friday, March 9,, ini the Central school Dr. .Wright. will talk to the the point and the necessary conclu- sioni to voice their dire needs. When things can be used over, like clothing, we hàve been able through this office to add immeasureably to the warmitb, safety. and comifort of inany p eople., Much more can ,be done, and more people, if tbey real- ized this service, would send clothin'g and other material, whichi now is dis- posed of through other agencies. Since illness is on the, increase in. the village due to ý the season. (the end of winter) this office bas been able to secure competent' nursing which resulted in care of the sick and employ ' mnt for* those *ho need the money.for their services. Trhis coulci probably be further extended if othet persons1 competent, either practical or professional, would register witb this office. Other emnploymenits of ail kinds are effected through this office. much to the satisfaction of the worker, and employer. My brief expérience here in the. absence of Mrs. Blaylock has given me a tremendously greater pride in rny work in connection with this board. One only needs to experience the. grateful thanks fromn those this. office.serves,-t *o make one more than ever desirous of getting others in Wilmette interested to join us ini this Work. -Elizabeth Warren Mrs. Gelindia, MilIler, * Mrs,.
