PageFourtcsn THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, May 14, 1964 Mel Griffeth, the squadron chairihan, notified us that the regular monthly meeting of Squadron 491 was called off last month due to the tenth anniversary program, and that the membership Will be notified by mail cf this months meeting. It ha? been requested by the 11th district chairman and adviser that the possibility of holding two regular monthly meetings be considered in order to formulate and coordinate new programs being set up in the district and divisions on a more active basis. Chairman Mel Griffeth also stated that at this month's regular meeting of Squadron 491, steps would be taken to revise the squadron in the suggested platoon system which is as follows: Platoon A will consist of high school seniors and adults, platoon B of freshmen through junior year; Platoon C consisting of Junior high school members; Platoon D of members from the first through fifth grades. Platoon E will consist of pre-school membership. A specific program will be assigned to each platoon, with members of A and B platoons assisting the leadership in platoons C and D through this system a much larger and more active squadron is proposed. As of this writing, Squadron 491 of McHenry is the largest squadron in the state arid verification is being made on the possibility of the largest in the national organization. One of the ten points of the Sons of the American Legion is helpfulness. Thus Squadron Commander Steve Kreier has informed American Legion "Commander Dominic Volpendesta that ten of the squadron membership will be detailed to assist the poppy program on poppy days. The 11th district S.A.L. chairman and adviser, H. J. Saynor, Sr., has been appointed a personal aide of State S.A.L. commander Ben Lipsner. The appointment was made by Commander Lipsner. Along with this appointment, 11th District S.A.L. Chairman Saynor will serve on the public relations committee, and has just received membership in the National American Legion Press association. Chairman Saynor's first official act as aide to the state detachment commander was in the installation and presentation of officers and charter to the newly formed Squadron 1272 of Hanover Park. Ceremonies were held at the field house in Hanover Park on Sunday, May 3, 1964. jr#* i Qmaht-Cute cTo/t OA/omen' by Maggie Hey girls, who needs dieting anyway! Here are "Smart-Cuts to INSTANT SLIMNESS: Stand up straight, rib cage pulled up out of your waist. You look your siimmest When one foot is behind the /other, body slightly turned, weight unevenly distributed. When you sit, form the "S" curve by sweeping legs to one side. Rest toes of back foot on ankle of forward foot, toes pointed down. Nothing slims better than the simple dark dress. Keen accessories slender too--plain high heels, small handbag vnold it above waist.) Now, with simple make-up and hairdo neat, you and/your girlish figure are ready for spring! You should SHIFT MIRRORS EXPOSED TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT. Sun rays cause them to become cloudy. And to protect the backs of mirrors from scratches, cover with coating of clear shellac. Planning to REPAINT WOODWORK? Take it from Maggie, the first step is preparing the wood. If you're like many wise homemakers, you've applied a coat of wax to the wood to keep it shiny and easy to clean. But that wax must come off!--or your new paint will start peeling in a few months. Remove the wax with any household cleaner, turpentine or solvent. And always, before re-painting, sandpaper wood lightly. Believe it or not, many DYING PLANTS CAN BE REVIVED WITH CASTOR OIL. Work oil in and around the roots. I've had plants come back lush and green. Those old CANNED GOODS are really safer than we think. Did you know storing the opened can in the refrigerator is safer than transferring contents to a dish? Cans are sterilized. Caution: Store right after opening, so food won't spoil. Dents or rust on cans doesn't mean contents are spoiled, and darkening inside a can is not dangerous at all. Don't throw away liquid in each of vegetables; it has about 20 percent of vegetable's minerals and vitamins. Never heat a closed can -- it may burst. KEEP CAULIFLOWER SNOW WHITE by soaking for half hour in cold salt water before cooking. DELICIOUS TENDERIZED CHICKEN is easy to cook just by rubbing the inside and outside with lemon juice after cleaning and before dressing. McHENRY YOUTH WINS $2,000 SCHOLARSHIP George L.
