8 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1922 LEGION CARNIVAL ITTRACTS THRONG Rain Discourages Event Early in Week But Sun- shine Smiles at Last HAVE CHILDREN'S DAY Saturday Afternoon Devoted to Fun for Kiddies Torrents of rain Monday and Tues- day discouraged all thought of going to the Carnival. But, when the sun came out in all its glory Wednesday morning all the kiddies in town, and most of the grown-ups, displayed an uncommon restlessness. Then, - on Wednesday evening, the rush began, to continue unabated until the "final curtain" Saturday night. The Wilmette Post of the American Legion, sponsor of the Carnival at Twelfth street, Washington and Lake avenues, omitted nothing to make this, the fourth autumn entertainment of the Post, a thoroughly enjoyable festi- val for the citizens of the village. The M. Reese Carnival company was brought to the village with its gener- ous outlay of fun-producing attractions and the fact that the event was for a good cause, brought the residents out in great numbers. Funds from the Carnival are to be devoted to the care of disabled World war veterans, and a portion to the fund for a memorial building in Wilmette. A special program of events was planned for Saturday aftenoon when he children will have the complete run of the Carnival grounds. Members of the Wilmette Legion auxiliary have arranged to care for the children and "show them a real time." The outstanding feature of Carnival Week is the closing event Satuday night when the Legion plans to give away a real automobile as the big souvenir of the festival. Mr. and Mrs. David H.
