TbclioeCnUm^ almost world-wide eutluni'ef throwing rice at newly-married couples is believed to be a survival of the ancient religious practices of the Hindus and Chinese. In the Orient, rice is the emblem of fecundity and fertility, and throwing it at a newly-wedded pair symbolizes the wish that they may be blessed with offspring.

This memorable occasion saw the ushering in of a pew year with Mrs. Jeannette Vatice as the president. The officers and members of the unit look forward with high hopes and great expectations to a period as interesting and as successful as the lust. Mrs. Vance has been well trained for this office by. the share she has had in the Auxiliary activities. She has had a girl Scout troop. Twelve of these girls earned badges; some of them became first and others second class Scouts. They learned to square danee and to sing carols at Christ mas time. They took part in patriotic parades. In short, they learned to take their place in society and to live a well-rounded life pt their own. The Auxiliary strives to lend a helping hand to disabled veterans and their needy families. This is the purpose for which it exists. To make life more bearable for the thousands of boys in hospitals is one of its greatest aims. Our McHenry unit in following this course has taken part in monthly programs for the boys at Downey hospital. Many of them faithfully braved the elements of last winter to carry on their plans for these uhfortunate people. Among those who participated in this activity were Elinor Reid Shirley Olsen, Henritta Vycital, Jeanaette Vance, Christine Krinn, and of course Minnie Green, who received special honors for 100 hours of service. Mrs. Vance has also received special recognition. Our unit boasts ten girib trained for hospital work. The Legion Auxiliary, being a service organization, is chiefly concerned with rendering this service wherever and whenever it can. This means, of course, that most of its activities are planned with the thought in mind ^of raising funds to carry out these plans. In this it needs and deservers the support of the entire community. Our women have given much of their time to moneyaising projects. The numerous class reunion and other dinners given at the Legion by Mrs. Vycital and her corps of helpers have been a means of replenishing the exchequer. Eddie Met^h Myers' rummage sale fielded k a profit to carry on welfare work for children. Lorraine Gausdcn, who spent every Wednesday evening at the Legiftn hall hard at work till the wee, Binall hours, was raising funds through special games. Then there were Stephanie Waynne, selling vet-craft articles, Jeannette Vance, cooking hot dogs, and all the girls serving them to the public during the Legion carnival. The poppy day sales for which Marilyn Lively worked so diligently and the girls who helped her that rainy day all these and many other activities were for the purpose of raising funds with which to help the veterans and their families whoree-ver that help was indicatod. Besides the DoWney ' parties, when the Auxiliary furnishes cigarettes, candy, ice cream and othes luxuries as well as entertainment, we helped to care for veterans' orphans and children from broken homes. These are children housed at Wood Cottage at Normal, 111. An occasional trip to Chicago and visits at some of the members' homes is one of the features in the Auxiliaries program. In this. Signe Miller has done far more than her share. The financing of a girl to Girls State conference at Jacksonville, 111. is another worthy project. The supplying of Christmas baskets to needy families is a privilege shared by our organization and the V.F.W. There are other functions to which the Legion and Auxiliary are dedicated. One of these was graphically illustrated by the riot incident in Cicero. Howie West, who was one of our installing officers at the initiation ceremony,^ Mtid we sMoutal feel aeotire in the fact that oar organisation is pledged to maintain law and order. He told us that daring, these riots in which he worked with Sheriff Babb at a time when the going got pretty rough for the National Guard, many Legion posts offered their assistance. There is a lighter side to .-our organisation, however. After each meeting we have an hour or so of social intercourse, with a "kitchen committee" always on hand to serve light refreshments. Sov we crave your indulgence when we seem to be constantly trying to- sell tickets. Our efforts aire keyed to .the needs confronting us. Hartland Trip A group of six Auxiliary members and Bill Green, representing the post, spent several hours at the Hartland Home for the Aged one recent Sunday afternoon. The girls who went were Minnie Green, Christine Krinn, Jeannette Vance, Nettle Fleming and Delia Freund. They provided a nice afternoon of entertainment for the old people who appreciate this attention they receive frequently from the Legion and Auxiliary. Joan and Jean Weber played several piano selections for them atid were enthusiastically applauded. Mrs. Carl Weber furnished the music for some group singing. There is something about group singing that certainly puts people in a grand humor and that was true Sunday. Audrey Thomas helped with the singing, too. Mary Aon Wiedrich was the soloist. She certainly shows premise of some day being a great success. The ice cream and cake which the group took ont to them was served for the evening meal as the folks had had one picnic that day. These events are appreciated so much by the old folkB.
