June is the month when the work of our nearly 100,000 Junior members is emphasized, and in July we give special attention to our Girls States, at which more than 17,000 high school girls operate states of their own each year.

Harold Woody, Reporter HOLD MID-WINTER OSTEHB CEMETERY GROUP MEETING On Saturday evening, Jan. 11, the Ostend Cemetery association held its annual midwinter meeting, the purpose of which was to review the prog ress made during 1963 and to elect a director to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Seth Richardson. The attdendance . was small due to the tempestuous weather but the review of the past year's accomplishments was gratifying and reassuring and left no doubt as to the soundness of the planning that one year ago gave birth to the idea that a trust fund could be established, the income from which could be depended upon to furnish care for the cemetery grounds. During the preceding twelve months a total of more than $2,200 was collected through contributions from sixty-five interested families and descendants of the rugged early settlers who rest in Ostend cemetery. A trust agreement was entered into with the McHenry State bank and the funds placed in their charge for investing and handling. Miss Sylvia Richardson, Crystal Lake, was chosen to complete her brother's term as director. Other officers of the association include Allen Dimon, president, Eugene Eppel. secretary, and Mrs. V. F. Thompson, treasurer, all of McHenry, and Miss Alice Clark, vice-president and Everett Thomas, director, of Woodi stock.

At the 1917 convention in Atlanta, Ga., Arch Klump, president -of the then International Association of Rotary Clubs, spoke of the need for an endowment to carry out some great educational service to mankind. "It seems eminently proper," he said, "that we should accept endowments for the purpose of doing good in the world in charitable, educational, or other avenges of community service." There was a favorable response, but the suggestion was slow in gain-iyear later, at the San Franof Rotary Internationa];' in 1931, ratified action of the trustees by arranging for a declaration of trust between Rotary International and the trustees of the Foundation, the perpetuity of the Foundation was guaranteed. - Thus Arch Klumph's idea, presented fourteen years earlier, received an impetus that Was to carry it from a humble beginning to an impressive future, even though that was not ^ always obvious to those whose main effort it how was to raise funds which were to be the basis of the Foundation. When the board of directors ratified the action of the trustees, The Rotary Foundation had an operating capital of $5,739.07 in the treasury. This amount thanks to untiring efforts of the members of the first Foundation committee, appointed in 1932, grew in the following five years to $56,000. It was Jn Nice at the 1937 convention that the announcement was made that the board of directors were planning a two million dollar fund. One ing support and; six years later the fund amounted to only $709.92 (it is interesting to note in comparison that since the Rotary club of McHenry was organized eight years ago they have helped needy Junior and Senior college students by advancing over $3,175.00 to help them through college and at the present time have over $1,000 in their local Student Loan Fund. This is in addition to contributing over $1,020 to the regular Rotary Foundation Fellowships.) In 1928 at the Minneapolis, Minn., convention, the original idea was taken up again. The convention made history by approving the establishment of what is now known as The Rotary Foundation. The bylaws of Rotary International were amended to make provision for the Foundation under the supervision of five trustees. When the board of directors cisco convention, the1 plan was approved. The outbreak of the second world war, however, stalled further development (of the campaign. Two days after the January, 1947 meeting the board of directors adjourned, Paul Harris, beloved founder of Rotary, passed away. His death had a profound impact upon Rotarians the world over. Requests from many parts of the globe poured into the secretariat: asking what might be done in his honor. President Richard Hedke and Harry Rogers, chairman of the Rotary Foundation committee, suggested to all clubs that Ro tarians make contributions to the Foundation in memory of Paul Harris.

Northwest Orient Airlines, which will fly the tour part^ to Honolulu via its popular Royal Aloha Jet Service, says that Pearl Harbor will remain perhaps the most vivid experience of the trip, even though it adds a serious note to lighthearted activities. In the historic aerial attack on Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941, The Arizona and all but 289 of her crew of 1,500 died. The Navy still pays tribute each day to the men entombed in the mighty warship. Navy men still consider her a commissioned ship of the fleet. Her crew is aboard, sailors explain -- 1,102 off them -- from an admiral to apprentice seamen. Each dawn and each dusk two sailors make a special trip to The Arizona, whose main deck now is eight feet below the surface. At 8 a.m. the flag is raised. It is not put at half staff because she still is regarded as a commissioned ship. Each afternoon, it is lowered. This ceremony was started in 1950 by Admiral Arthur Radford, then Pacific Commander. A plaque reads: "From now on the U.S.S. Arizona will again fly our country's flag just as proudly as she did on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941." The Arizona lies on one side of Ford Island. Only a part of her superstructure is visible. The mount for her Number Three main battery turret and a few mushroom-shaped ventilators crack the surface of the water. On the other side of Ford Island lies The Utah, one-time battleship which was serving as* a target ship when she was hit with 58 men entombed. The bottom still juts above the surface of the harbor. Though there is noj landing there, Admiral Radford Phad a plaque placed aboard. Conducted tours to Pearl Harbor are arranged in Honolulu. LAROtt CAMP STATUS A review of the status of migrant labor camps in the state at the end of the second year of state control finds many changes, both in the law, its effectiveness and the cooperation ot the, camp operators, Dr. Franklin D. Yoder, director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, said last week. Great improvement was noted in the labor camps which required licenses in 1963. In accordance with the law, minimum standards for licensing were upgraded to include adequate bathing facilities in addition to the existing requirements for safe water supply and waste disposal facilities.

As we pointed out, one of their methods is to foster a number of myths and misinformation about your daily diet in order to convince you that you need to buy their vitamins and nutritional products to stay healthy. You have probably heard at one time or another that dis eases are caused by a faulty diet and that, because of repeated cropping; the soil today does not yield foods as rich in nutritional value as it did years ago. We analyzed both of these myths and found them to be entirely false. Today we will discuss a few more of these food myths which the quack states as fact and uses to sell his products. "Commercial food preparation destroys the vitamins and nutritional value of foods." This statement has been the basis for much of the "scare" advertising of the health food quack. He proclaims that modern canning methods destroy the vitamins and minerals in foods and that you must have his high priced capsule to replace the nutrition lacking in commercially prepared food products. THE TRUTH: Modern food processing preserves the nutritional value of food much more efficiently than in the days of home canning. A certain amount of fresh vege tables in the diet is desirable, but most of us like our vegetables cooked and modern methods of preserving and canning keep all the nutritional values of vegetables and fruits. The quack completely ignores the development of the frozen food industry which brings you foods at the peak of their nutritional values. He also ignores the improvements made in the last several years to increase the nutritive value of such products as bread, milk, flour and margarine. You will never become "vitamin starved" from using the canned or frozen foods from your corner grocery as some quacks claim. "Many people suffer from "sub-clinical deficiencies" which can not be detected." This is a statement with which the quack really goes to town! Anyone who suffers from "that tired feeling" headaches or other nagging aches is a victim of a "sub-clinical deficiency" which the quack claims can not be detected but merely suspected. This is clever phychology based upon the fact that nearly everybody suffers from these symptoms now and then. THE TRUTH: The term "sub-clinical deficiency" is not even recognized by doctors. This is some more of the "scare" advertising used by quacks. The fact is that no normal person can expect to go through life without feeling at timesc "knocked out," tripping over your own feet, or feeling excessively tired. This is pari of living and 1he quacks I'ood supplements will not help I his coudil ion. The reason you feel worn out may be due to overwork, worried and over tense, or from a number of other reasons, none of which will be helped by the quacks high-priced capsule. Your doctor will tell you that if these conditions are anything but temporary, they are due ; to causes that have nothing to do/ with "sub-clinical deficiencies" or poor nutrition. "Older people need more nutrition." The quack claims that as yqu grow older, the nutritional requirements of your body changes and can only be supplied by a nutritional supplement which, to your great good fortune, the quack Has for sale. THE TRUTH: There is no evidence whatever that age has anything to do with nutritional requirements. It is true that food habits change. Kids like hot dogs and candy, but grandpa might pass out at the sight of a banana split with chocolate, pineapple and strawberry sauce! The truth is that grandpa's nutritional needs can easily be satisfied with norm- /ally available foods. Since we started this series, the question has been raised as. to whether we are against all vitamins and nutritional products. This is nonsense of course. There are a number of conditions which require special vitamins. No doctor, for example, would hesitate to prescribe additional yitamifls and calcium during pregnancy, extra vitamin C and D for babies and children and some vitamin and mineral supplement for certain pre-operative and post-operative conditions. All human beings usually undergo some phase of their health cycle which makes extra vitamins and minerals necessary. What we are against is the fact that you, the public, will spend at least one billion dollars on quack remedies, gadgets and health foods this year! About one-third of this will go for vitamin pills and health foods, mostly self-prescribed and mostly unnecessary. You will ateo spend at least $150,000,000 on laxatives equally unnecessary. Most people believe that the quack promotor of medical products went out years ago, but he is still with us and stronger than ever due to the national advertising available to him through radio and T.V; plus a strong sales force of door-to-door salesmen. Next week we will take Up one of the products offered by a catalogue company called "Natural Sales." We received this catalogue through the mail and we presume that many of you in this area also received it. Wo will show you what you get for your money and how, they use "scare" advertising to convince you that you need their products. In the meantime, consult the people who are especially • rained to counsel you on your vitamin and nutritional' problems -- your doctor or your pharmacist.
