A CORRECTION Through an trror in reporting an arrangement between the, police de-~ partments of Wilmette and Winnetka, in * last week's Wir.mEm ~LiPE, essential information . was inadvertently ex- cluded.* The statement should have read :. "Sixteen Winnetka police. offi- cers ivere swomn in as Wilmette offi- cers, and fifteen, Wilmette police officers were swomn in as Winnetka officers." The error, but not the action, is regretted.
