Welfare Board Relies on Chest to Keep Going
Wilmette's Welfare board once relied on local funds and a stable staff led by William H. Ellis to aid the needy. Since fall 1933 federal state and county relief redirected aid through broader systems, but the Wilmette Community Chest provides a parallel fund for urgent cases. President F. Dewey Anderson, secretary Mrs. David R. Kabele, treasurer Mrs. George B. Bassler, and organizer Mrs. John C. Blaylock oversee ongoing welfare efforts amid growing winter needs.
