WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1924 23 Everybody Feels Pretty Fine Over Happy's Good Luck "I want to be happy, But I won't be happy "Til I make you happy, too!" Lots of happy folks on Foxdale ave- nue, especially in the vicinity of the El- dorado railroad crossing where Harold "Happy" Kent, colored, officiates as gateman ! ~ "Happy," as he is familiarly known Im a score or more of nearby house- holds, attends strictly to business at the crossing and always looks after the lit- tle tots and elderly ladies. After work- ing hours he finds time, on occasion, to do odds and ends in the neighborhood, thereby augmenting the family ex- chequer and gaining a reputation for being about the most carefree and happy person under the sun. Recently, however, the smile faded from "Happy's" customarily gleaming countenance. Folks in the neighborhood couldn't fathom the sudden change and an investigation was instituted with the result that it was learned "Happy's" wife and daughter were ill, so ill, in fact, that the family exchequer had suf- fered to the point of utter depletion. The word was passed through the neighborhood and one day "Happy" be- came the recipient of a nice little "stake" on which to get back on his feet. Matters have mended in the Kent household and only the other day the Foxdale avenue housewives received the accompanying letter of thanks and ap- preciation from the elated "Happy": Eldorado Avenue, Winnetka, Ill. "Harold Kent, Flagman at the time for the n. w. railroad give thanks for the help that you all give (0 me. i Kant tell how much that i preshate it. it is very much preshated and i thank one and all of the good Ladys and frends of Foxdale ave. for helpen me while in hard luck. it could not have Ben a time that you could hit that Better i sure do thank you all and it will never be forgotten i am glad that you all seem to Be as happy as i am, thank to all then. Happy Kent. Eldorado Ave." Drunken Drivers Placed In Class With Gun Toters State laws should provide heavier pen- alties for reckless drivers, especially for those who drive while intoxicated, stated Mrs. B. F. Langworthy, Winnetka trus- tee at the Thursday session of the Illi- nois Municipal league held at the Amer- ican Exposition Palace, where the Illi- nois -products exposition is taking place. Mrs. Langworthy believes that an in- toxicated person driving an automobile is as dangerous as one "who goes down the street firing off a gun." Other speakers on the program during the meeting Thursday and Friday, talk- ed on city betterment. The league convention is being 'attend- ed by 150 mayors and village managers from the State of Illinois. Among the north shore representatives attending the convention were Village Manager F. IL. Streed of Kenilworth, Mrs. B. F. Lang- worthy of Winnetka and Village Man- ager W. H. Sherer of Glencoe. Sunday Evening Club to Meet Tomorrow at 6:30 By J.A.-H. Members and friends of the Winnetka Sunday Evening club are asked to bear in mind that the club meets Sunday, October 19. At the first meeting, October 5, it was announced that, hereafter, the club would meet on alternate Sundays. Further business of the day was to elect two new officers to fill vacancies left by resignations. Miss Florence Canning was elected vice president and Miss Eleanor Beard was chosen sec- retary. The program committee has given out no schedule and it is probable that most of the programs will be kept secret until meeting time. If they are as good as last year we will be glad to trust to the committee. Don't forget then--6:30 in the Camp Fire room at Community House--and bring your friends. Chamber of Commerce to Launch Membership Drive Detailed plans for a membership drive to be staged among the business and commercial houses in Winnetka, will be made at a special meeting of the entire executive committee of the Chamber of Commerce to be held at the Community House Thursday night, October 23, at 8 o'clock, it was decided at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce held Wed- nesday night at the Community House.
