6 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924 HERE'S CHANCE TO CHEER VETS Winnetka Legion Post Asks Villagers to Contribute Eats and Smokes FOR MEN AT HOSPITAL Local War Veterans to Stage Entertainment Commander Thomas J. Lynch and Adjutant A. C. F. Gedge of Winnetka Post 10, American Legion, are work- ing like a pair of beavers to make the entertainment for disabled soldiers at the Great Lakes Naval hospital, Wed- nesday evening, August 20, the great- est success of the season. Indeed, it may be ventured that every other man in the post--and there are more than 185 of them--is working with the same end in view. Collaborating with the Winnetka boys are the members of the Wilmette Post 46, the J. Huerter Post, and the post at Evanston, and a group of others along the north shore There are said to be about 300 dis- abled soldiers in the naval hospital and those who are near them every day say they are lonely, many of them almost despondent. Care will make some of them well again; the condi- tion of scores of the others is declared to be hopeless. Provide Some Cheer The entertainment for Wednesday is being gotten up to give the invalids a little cheer, to let them know that they are not entirely forgotten. Accord- ing to Adj. Gedge: "That's the least we can do for them, and the legion alone should not be left to look after their comfort. These men were dis- abled fighting in their country's cause. All citizens--every man and woman-- owe them a debt of gratitude. Mind you, the invalid boys are not appealing for charity; they are too proud for that. They ask nothing, and this makes it doubly everyone's duty to provide for them every little comfort at their command." In addition to Wednesday's enter- tainment, the legion men contemplate supplying their disabled comrades with a few luxuries, such as fruit, cigarettes, cigars, smoking tobacco, candy, etc. And while more than 300 men are to be supplied with these things, it won't cost anybody very much if everybody pitches in and helps. And in this case, say the legion men, "everybody" means you. Invite General Public The legion men have requested that an invitation to attend Wednesday's performance at the Naval hospital be extended to the general public. They want the public to know of the con- dition of the disabled soldiers. They claim that it would be a sort of revel- ation to those who think the war is over. They say it will never be over with these poor, injured buddies. And the legion leaders add that such a visit will not fail to open the hearts and the pocketbooks of those who come. Whoever wishes to contribute fruit, candy, any sort of smokes, etc. is urged to send the contribution either to the Community House or to the office of Thomas J. Lynch in the Prouty Annex. In either place such donations will be graciously received and a guarantee given that they will reach those for whom they are in- tended. May Also Give Cash Here's something important: It is thought it may not be convenient for some persons to purchase the little luxuries hinted at above. In all such instances, the legion men want it to be understood that a cash donation will accomplish the same purpose. Just send your money either to the Com- munity House or Mr. Lynch's office, get a receipt and the legion will do the rest. Contributions of fruit, tobacco. candy and the like should be at Com- munity House or in the Lynch office not later than 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, August 20, and preferably not earlier than that date. To all who will send money or checks, they may do so at their pleasure, but not later than August 20. "TI know Winnetka pretty well" Post Commander Thomas J. Lynch said yesterday. "Its people are well "Julia" Is Found and Gets Letter She Wrote "Julia' is found". "It pays to advertise". It is Postmaster Elmer E. Adams speaking. Very recently Mr. Adams notified Winnetka Talk that a letter bearing the signature "Julia" had been re- turned to the local post office because its insufficient address had caused the missive to go awandering. "Through your notice in the Talk", Mr. Adams continued in his telephon- ic communication, "of the letter re- turned to this office by the Dead Letter office with a request to locate the writer, 'Julia' has been located and the letter delivered to her". "How much trouble would have been avoided", sermonizes the P. M., "if 'Julia' had placed her return ad- dress in the upper left hand corner of this letter, so that it could be returned to her immediately after delivery was found impossible". Through the Talk, Postmaster Adams has been enabled to locate sev- eral writers of insufficiently addressed mail. Therefore his remark, "It pays to advertise". Charles and His Pals Rejuvenate Lizzie of 1913 Charles Woodzka lives in Wilmette. That fact alone is not responsible for this notice. What is important about Charles is that he is the owner of a flivver with a history. It emerged from the Ford vintage of 1913, and like Tennyson's brook, goes on forever. There is only one thing nowadays that causes alarm for Charles, and that is the fear that the great Lizzie magnate will learn of the existence of this wonderful rambler and insist upon buying it from him. The mechanism of the Woodzka space eliminator yet works with clock- like accuracy and with the power and speed of its breed. This condition came about after the last overhauling operation, which was completed last week. The mechanics who aided Charles on the job are worth mention- ing, too. They are Joseph Hens and Joseph Canrad, Washington avenue neighbors of the Woodzkas. The trio took the aged veteran out for a little exercise last Sunday, driv- ing over the Glenview and Waukegan roads. Lizzie was never working better. Packards, Cadillacs, the Dodge, Buick and other high priced machines were passed as though they had been shackled. Coming to the Howard od a Her Marriage Vow' A wanna MCTURR "Gee, Lizzie is a daisy, aint she?," exclaimed Charles to the two Joes. "It's too bad the body's all gone." Ah, there's the rub. The car's super- structure has been practically torn away, unable to withstand the wild speed spurts which Lizzie has been pulling off these many, many years. Said Joe Hens--"Let's build a new body." "No," came from the Conrad youth; "Lizzie's all right yet and good for several decades. Send her to the factory and give her a stylish dress. That's my suggestion." In the meantime while the boys are debating the problem, the old body will carry them around safely enough, pro- vided they strap themselves securely within it. On their next jaunt the boys pro- pose to take Lizzie down and show her at the Field Museum in Chicago. Warshoffski will never get her, they declare.

If you carry insurance, it adds comfort and the pleasure is greater to know that if accident does occur, you have something with which to pay the doctor. Take out a policy with the Aetna Insurance Company, which has ninety million dollars to pay claims. CLARK T. NORTHROP, Agent 556 Center St., Winnetka, Ill. SCULLY STORAGE & TRANSFER CO.
