'{&«'• :ir'« v K • \ By Marie Schaettgeo r . ' " ^ <3, JThe patriotic conference held a few weeks afb at the Morrison hotel in Chicago is an annual convention of the American Legibty auxiliary for the purpose of discussing national security. This year the conference was Composed of over 1,000 women from the state of Illinois, including three representatives from McHenry, Mrs.«, Joseph Mikota, Mrs. Bernard Matchen and Mrs. Art Schaettgen. We learned many facts about national se- • curity and civil defense. Mrs. Willrett, Illinois department civil defense chairman, told us that women, especially American Le- • gion auxiliary women, take a very active part in this program of preparedness. The ground observer corps, for instyMiCe, is composed of, 80 per C^nt women and 20 per cent men. v. The principal speaker of the day, John C. Caldwell, was ohe of those who helped establish the Korean Republic. He believes, however, that although Mr. Rhee trying hard to hold the country together the people are not united. Disillusionment and hopelessness is the order of the day. Mr. Caldwell thinks thaEt Singapore is almost sure to go Communist in the next election. The Reds, through Mr. Lee, front man, control all -publications in Southeastern Asia and conduct a vigorous campaign to discredit the United States through this medium. 'Teen-age students are incited to unbelievable acts of violence. Saigon in Viet Nam (Indo- China) is another critical spot. The U.S. spends many millions of dollars yearly to keep Saigon from falling under communisitic domination. Formosa is valuable mostly for the moral support it affords to those Asiatics who would remain free. Quemoy, which consists of only eighty-one square miles, has been held by Nationalist Chinese troops since 1949, despite the fact that the communist frontier is but three miles aWay. It is*probjBbly just a matter -of time until Quemoy falls to the Reds. Another dangerous possibility, according to Mr. Caldwell, is the acceptance of Red China into the United Nations. If this comefe to pass, he believes, all of Asia will be communistic within five years. "We cannot retreat further in Asia," said Mr. Caldwell.1 On the lighter and brighter side of the patriotic conference was Mrs. Mount, department president, who ^jpaid, "Emphasis on youth is the keynote of Americanism because our youth is the America of tomorrow." To lur- I ther this phase of- the program ! was Kenneth Shcrder of Taft high in Chicago, winner ot the Legion's ^oratory contest. He presented his oration to the assembly. The title was "The Constitution Speaks" and Kenneth spoke in the first person, animating the Constitution. He pointed out the many rights and privileges guaranteed us by the Constitution. Marcia Kittlesen, Girls' State governor, did a clever monologue as a Russian girl dreaming of art ideal existence. The existence she dreamed of but had little hope of achieving wa§ one which parallels the life of the „• average American girl. . Many distinguished guests attended the conference. Department Commander Albert Leonard, who was remembered for his visit to McHenry on the occasion of the "This Is Your Life"* party for John Dreymiller, was there. Major Friedman, coordinator of the Illinois Civil Defense organization, gave us valuable information. Our district director, Alice Beardsley, and her secretary, Alta Schmeiding, and Betty Duff were there too. With our heads full of civil defense and our hands full of bulletins, we felt the day well spent. Johnsburg News Bj Mn, Betty Hetterraans Sew Grandson Mr. and Mrs. Joseph L.
