IN The family of James H.
(Happy) Smith, slain traffic
patrolman, enjoyed a new $4,000
home today, the Christmas gift of
city that remembered a famous
smile.
And interest from a $4,000
trust fund provided a Christmas

penniless when the father,
Happy" traffic director at
Eleventh and Walnut streets, was
killed by bandits one noon last
summer when the Republican
convention was in session.
Every one in Kansas City knew
Happy" and his famous smile
and almost everyone gave some
thing toward the new home and
trust fund when newspapers
started the move to provide for
his family. Big checks and small
coins brought the fund to more
than $4,000 and builders, lumber
men and furnishers donated ma
terial for the house. Some one
gave a lot, and a thousand
carpenters volunteered to work on
the new home.
The $4,000 house actually cost
only $1,000 in cash from the trust
fund.
