Happ, Candi- | ous Offices: date for President WauBun, the recently incorporated village at the Winnetka, will hold its first election in about two weeks for the selection of | board of trustees, | a village president, clerk and police magistrate. The exact | date of the election has not been de- | cided. A ticket was selected at a caucus held Wednesday of last week. John P. Happ, who heads the ticket, for presi- dent, is a son of the late John P. Happ, whose old home place is only a quar- ter of a mile south of the intersection of Willow and Happ roads, the latter of which bears the family name. The Happs were among the early settlers in this vicinity. Al Kutz is the nominee for the first clerk of the new village and Bernard Schildgen will be the first police mag- istrate, the nomination of the entire ticket being, in this case, equivalent to election, as there is but one ticket in the field. The six trustees nominated at last week's caucus are, George Selzer, Wil- liam Boetsch, Pete Selzer, John Seul, Leo Retizsinger and Alex Levernier.
