By Marie Schaettgea 11th District Convention For the first time in twentyfour years, McHenry was host to the district convention on Sunday, June 22. The Legion home served as headquarters for the Legionnaires, while the Auxiliary held its meeting at the high school. The members of the Auxiliary had their luncheon at the high school and enjoyed it very much. Among the many memorable activities of the Auxiliary, the most impressive was the memorial service for those of our members who died during the past year throughout the eleventh district. Presiding at the service was Minnie Green (Mrs. William Green). With her were Christine Krinn and Betty Duff, and much younger in years and experience though wonderful in their dignity, were the two little girls, Judith Ann Conway and Patricia Jensen. Ida Ann Buinlan played the accompaniment to Adele Froehlick's lovely rendition of beautiful and appropriate songs, including the always comforting "Lord's Pray* er" by Mallotte. One of the majc/r duties of the convention was to elect new officers for the district. Mrs. Fredrickson of Elgin was elected director for the eleventh district and Minnie Green was voted in as alternate director. Helen Roach of Plainfield became the new Chaplaiif* and Helen Gordon of Glen Ellyn is the new historian. The members voted on some changes and many clarifications of the Auxiliary by-laws. The many comments on some points proved that our women really gave some serious thought to these questions of procedure. After, the business meeting Was finj^hed, most of the members wept to the American Legion home, where they joined the men in a few hours of relaxation. A light supper was served here by the Auxiliary members and our guests went home feeling that they had spent a day in the accomplishment of their duties and happy too, hi the renewal of many friendships. The estimated attendance was 600 and they came from many cities and towns in the eleventh district.

ALEXANDER LUMBER CO. Ninety million Americans will go forth on the Fourth--for a holiday or a hollow day. The National Safety Council estimates that there will be 40,- 000,000 passenger vehicles on U.S. streets and highways during the three-day weekend and that they will travel 5,000,000,000 miles -- enough to circle the world 200,000 times! * The figures only emphasize the tremendous amount^ of travel to be expected during the holiday, the Council said. It emphasized that more cars on the road traveling* more miles will inevitably mean more accidents -- unless there is more caution than usual on the part of the motoring public. An ominous note already has been sounded this year with the traffic death toll for Memorial Day setting a new record of 360 lives lost in traffic alone. : In an attempt to prevent a holiday of tragedy for hundreds of persons, the Council is conducting again this year a nation- 6.
