COLLECT FOR HOSPITALITY DAY NEXT MONTH When October 4 rolls around Holiday Hospitalily Day will be in full swing. Hie woman's auxiliary of Memorial Hospital for McHenry County has worked diligently all year making and collecting gifts for sale which cannot be purchased elsewhere. The three homes on display this year will be those of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas E. Byrnes, Mr. and Mrs. Walter W. Wanger and the new home of the Gerald M. Donahues. In the latter home will be found the arrangements, and work o f the "Wonder Weed" workers erf the auxiliary. Under the leadership of Mrs. William Kelly of Woodstock this group starts into full swing in July on Wednesdays and Fridays and continues until the big day gathering weeds, drying flowers and making arrangements found in no other place in the country. Not only are the arrangements for sale but every piece of material that goes into their making can be purchases there and the enterprising neophyte can try to tetter the "Old Pros" handiwork - at a saving. Most of the containers for the arrangements are also made by the workers. Some of the holders are tin cans wrapped with corrugated paper and then strips of dried Equisetum (horse tail to you and me) are wrapped on and glued in place. This is a common native plant which our great grandmothers used to scour their pans because it contains silica! Other containers are rocks and sea shells embedded in plaster bases. Care is taken that the form and color conform to the arrangement.
