Under the town government, the Of

Since wining the ONCE the question
has been brought up by the witty coun-

WEST HAMMOND PUTS
ON "SOUP AND FISH"
Splendid Charity Ball Held
For Benefit Of City's Re-
lief Fund.

West Hammond which seems to have
just little more community spirit
than any other city of the Calumet
region is now nicely fixed for carrying
out its relief work among needy fam
flies this winter
The first charity ball Wednesday ev-
ening was grand success--so sue
cessful in fact. that It is believed the
Charity Board has sufficient funds to
carry through the winter without fur
ther efforts at raising money.
The exact amount realized from the
dance at kosciuszko Hall will not be
known until Monday evening when the
committee in charge holds its meeting
TO check over the receipts. Chief of
Police Joe Nitz easily outdid all of the
ticket sellers. He had promised 70
turn in $500 Wednesday night IN
stead he managed to boost his total to
$500. This does not represent tickets
alone but many larger donations which
he was able to talk out OF his friends.
1t is assured that the charity fund will
have at least $1,000 in It.
Already large accumulations of sec
ond-hand clothing. most OF 1t In excel
lent condition, have been received at
the police station and city hall for dis
tribution among needy families. 1t is
not expected that West Hammond will
have as many cases of want as other
cities OF the region. The people of the
Illinois town are noted for their thrift
They are in the great majority. home
owners and the possessors OF bank ac-
counts It Is believed that $1,000 and
such clothing as is donated will meet
all requirements.
The charity ball Wednesday night
brought out a large crowd in spite OF
the fact that - was the night before
Thanksgiving and folks are generally
pretty busy at home and in the places
of business. The grand march was led
by John Jaranowski. highway commits
sioner. and Mrs John c. Kowalski, the
wife of the police magistrate.
