Somebody's All "Het" Up About Something Here Somebody's angry at somebody else. Let those who doubt but read and be convinced by the accompanying which, for purposes of classificatidn, we must term a communication. It was addressed to "Winnetka Talk --W.innetka or Wilmette" and reads as follows : "Hay you crepe-hanger and beauti- ful oak trees, why not put the money into nuts for your little animals and enjoy seeing them eat them. Cut down your oak trees and sit around a nice hearth-fire in the fall and know you have not paid a cent out. Get a gun and enjoy seeing the neighbors worrying about the lives of their chil- dren as we have had to worry. Let us hope Winnetka will keep their laws and let us help Winnetka to keep them. "Also a by-law prohibiting people from building garages beside dining room windows stopping the view. A Law Abider." Editor's note: Ordinarily anonymous communications, which are very coward- ly, find their place in the editorial waste basket, but the above was so crazily crazy and ravingly rav-y about, well, we can't just tell what, that we felt it merited publication as a sample of what some twisted minds regard as intelligent news matter.
