WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924 ut SYSTEMATIC AID NEEDED BY VETS Winnetka Legion to Appeal to State Leaders Winnetka Post, No. 10, has drawn up a set or resolutions which will be pre- sented at the American Legion's state convention at Urbana, September 1, 2, and 3. It pertains to the wounded soldiers in the hospitals. The resolutions follow : "Whereas, there exists no systematic method for enlisting the efforts of the greater proposition of American Legion posts in providing entertainment and luxuries for hospitalized veterans; and Whereas, any committee, organized on a national or district basis should more properly concern itself with legislation and administration of the laws govern- ing the disabled, the verterans' bureau, and hospitals, and the general welfare of all disabled veterans than with in- dividual cases; and "Whereas, it is within the proper jurisdiction of departments and posts to look after individual welfare and happi- ness; now, therefore, "Be it resolved by The American Legion, Department of Illinois, in con- vention assembled, that there be estab- lished during the year 1924-25, an in- formation service concerning the needs of hospitalized veterans and their fam- ilies; and "Be it further resolved: that this in- formation service be provided for in the general budget of the Department, and "Be it further resolved: that this in- formation service be based upon all available information, including infor- mation secured from rehabilitation or other proper representatives at hospitals, and collected, digested, and distributed to Posts by the Department Service of- fice or the Department Rehabilitation committee.

The truck was just rounding the corner nicely when one of the side supports gave way, and half of the boards, blocks, and shingles on their way to Glencoe were, for the moment, retarded in their progress. Just what had happened conveyed it- self with lightening-like rapidity to the driver when he heard the deafening crash. Alighting painfully from his seat by the engine he ruefully surveyed the scene. It seemed that, having wrenched his knee only that morning, and being already late on his trip to Glencoe, this acicdent was the proverbial straw that so annihilated the camel's back. He was only human, and having relieved his emotions by a few picturesque, color- ful words, he began his task of reload- ing. With the help of several small boys and the moral persuasion of a WINNETKA TALK reporter, the lumber was soon restored to its original position, | - and the peg reinforced by a chain, while the driver drove gingerly off, whether to arrive safely at his destination with- out another spill--a matter which might seriously be doubted.

Under such circum- stances, aid from the life guards at Ev- anston is about as available, some folks say, as it would be from Chicago. Sanborn Hale, cashier of the Win- netka State bank, says it would be a judicious investment for the village to spend a couple of thousand dollars for a fast motor craft. It could be put in charge of the police department and kept in constant readiness during the sum- mer months for any emergency on the town's shore. In winter, Mr. . Hale added, the boat could be moored and sheltered at the village power house.
