Wilmette Boy Scouts Withdraw From Community Chest
George H. Redding of the Wilmette Community Chest reports the Wilmette district will not be included in the 1931 Chest budget. The North Shore Area council has started a drive to fund the entire area and capital needs, making continued Chest support impossible. Ralph H. Rice, chairman, states the Scout committee remains in accord with Chest aims and will keep backing the Chest.
