To parents. of Wilmette children: Witb the opening of schools and the completion of physical examina- tion of pupils, tbe time bas again ar- rived to urge you to bave youlr chil- dren immunized against small pox and diphtberia. The past year bas been an unfortunate one in incidence of contagion. We hope this experi- ence will not be duplicated. Last year also marked the first cases of diphtheria we bad in some years. Ail tbrough the summer and faîl a few cases have persisted in neigbboring comnxunities. It is easy to immunize children against diphtheria and we feel it is necessary. Cail your family physician or pediatrician in regard to this matter and have it taken care of immediately. Small pox vaccination is still more simple and we feel that- this also should be attended to. If vou are unable financially to carry this small expense, you mnay receive free immunization through th -e health departent by applying for it within the next week. Blanks will be provided by the health department office in the Village hall, by y~our school nurse, or at the Health Cen- ter, 1901 Schiller street, which must be signed by the parents of children to be vaccinated or immunized against diphtheria. These may be taken care of any time before Thursday, October 18. The slips must be left with the nurse or at the Health de- partment office so that we may know how many children to prépare for. The treatment is urged not only for school children but, most of aIl for the one to five year age group who are most susceptible.- Immunization for scarlet fever and.ý whooping cough cannot as yet l)e of- fered on this mass basis, and for the! advisability of these we also recom-i mend that you speak to your private: physician. Have your children pro tete ilmteHealth Department. Welfare Board Faces Arduous Winter Task The Wilmette Welfare board is now preparing to take care of emergency, relief cases' as far as its limited means will permit. It will be remembered that because of lack of funds, and its inability, to share in the benefits of the 2 per cent sales tax, the relief work of the board was fused with tbat of the Cook county organization, with offices in Evanston. But while the county board does its best for al clients, its best is flot sufficient for ail needs in the way of food, cloth- ing, rent, or the emergencies that constantly arise. Last year a faniily of five was given about $25 per month. Please note that three. meals per day for five persons is fifteen- meals per day, or 450 meals per month. How much is left for clothing, medicine. physician's services, etc.? It bas been necessary ail during the year 1933-34 for the Wilmette Welfare b)oard to supplement the County board's efforts to, take care of some of these emergency needs. With the coming of cold weather the board is preparing to take care of as much local charity as possible. Your support is needed. Through -the kindness of David Nelson the board bas had the free use of office, space during the sum- met' at 1222 Central avenue, for which it is very grateful. How- ever, inability to heat the rooms will make necessary the securing of other quarters. Wilmette Wvelfare board. Burgiars Ransack Home; Frightened, Leave Loot The home of H-. W. Henke, 631 Washington avenue, was entered by burgiars Thursday evening of last week. Entrance was gained by break- ing a glass in the rear door and re- moving the hinges. The bouse was ransacked upstairs and downstairs, and a quantity of clotbing and other effects were piled in the kitchen.ready for removal, when Mr. Henke re- turned and frightened the thieves away. One man was seen running from the scene, but no description of him was secured. Uniformed Forces Combined to Meet Emergencies Neces- sitating Larger Personnel An important step looking toward a more complete protection of life and property in the two villages *wad taken Monday wben sixteen Win- nietka police officers were sworn in as Winnetka officers. The plan was worked out in detail by Superintend- ents of Police Henry Brautigam, of Wilmette and W. M. Peterson of Winnetka. According to the plan tbere is to be a dloser cooperation between the forces of the two villages in police work both of a gençrai and emergency character. It is said that in case of riot or otber serious» disorders in eitber village a uniformed force of approximately thirty-five men could be mobolized at.the scene witbin a few minutes. Threats Bringe Actioýn Completion of the plan was bas- tened by the recent threat of disorder due to efforts of the Laundry and Dyehouse Drivers and Chauffeurs' union, local. No. 712, Chicago, to un- ionize the florist sbops and dry dlean- ing planas on the north shore. The presence of union adberents in con- siderable numbers on a recent oc- casion, together with the "or else" threats by whicb attempts were made to force truck, drivers and inside workers to join the union, resulted in the organization of a large body of Wilmette business and professional men into a company of deputized po- lice officers, to work under the su- pervision of Chief Brautigam in co- operation wvith the Chamber of Com- Smerce. At this .writing -t here bas been no' furtber invasion of nortb shore coin- munities, but police officiais are not minded to be caught napping, hence the preparation to mieet any situation that might arise. t Court Grants injuanction, An injunction asked on behaîf of sixteen north sbore employers by At- torney Tbeodore Kolb was granted by Circuit, judge Benjamin P. Ep-. rstein iast Wednesday. The ternis of the injunction place in contempt of court any person attempting to use force or intimidation in recruiting un- ion members. Police Lieutenant Egan,' in charge of the Chicago racket detail, is quoted as saying that the formation of the ,Wilmette vigilante, group is most empbatically a move in the rigbt di- rection, and that if .other suburbs would fiollow the example much iaw- Iessness could be. prevented. ChiéE Brautigamn asserts that Wilmette bas no patent on the idea.
