WED., MAR. 6, 1968 - PLAINDEALER - PG. 7 Two Veterans Ask For fM©ney Wliere ®oys Are' District 15 Voting Precincts Two veterans of the Vietnam war, Miss Marlene Schroeder of McHenry and Eugene Boxleitner, PFC. of Marengo who wears the Purple Heart, mot in the Red Cross office at Woodstock for the first time last week. Miss Schroeder served with the Red Cross at a recreational center and they had a lotof talking to do including the services of the Red Cross over there. Boxleitner entered the service in October of 1966 and took his basic training at Stewart, Ga. He was sent to Korea and .then to Saigon with Co. B., second battalion, 9th infantry. For the past three months he was fighting in the jungles of Saigon and on Jan. 11 of this year a hand grenade exploded near him resulting in ear damage. At the samo time a piece of shrapnel tore into his hip. He asserted "I am lucky, I guess, and I thank God for that." He and his buddies were carried out of the jungle and left in an open space all night because the helicopters could not get in until morning. Then they were taken to an evacuation hospital - and treated before they were sent to the American hospital in Japan. After a week there he was flown to Travis Air Force Base hospital. The No. 1 topic over there, he said, is "we want to get home." He is to leave for Fitzsimnnons hospital at Denver, Colo., and then he asserted, he doesn't know where he will be sent - perhaps Vietnam again or in the states. Marlene Schroeder the lucky McHenry girl who spent a year in a Red Cross recreational center in Vietnam, discussed the importance of the work there News About Our Servicemen and the need for more Red Cross staff members. "We,always serve soft drinks and coffee and of course, there is no charge. There are games to play and once in a while we put on a little entertainment. Sometimes, we are flown out to the fields and give a short entertainment and talk to the men. Some of the girls help out by talking to the boys in the hospitals." Boxleitner left the Red Cross office with campaign supplies to get the people in Marengo interested in the importance of the campaign now in progress. Marlene left with i an armfull of posters for McHenry. It's their way of saying "thank you" to the American Red Cross and to let people know that they should "put their money where the boys are". That's a good way for county people to share in the $29,000 goal for McHpnry county „ C WONDER LAKE KIWANIS HOSTS NEARBY CLUBS The Kiwanis clubs of both Cary- Fox River Grove and Crystal Lake met with their Wonder Lake hosts in a very entertaining and interesting program.

Bob ended his program by presenting the traveling gavel. In matters of business, Phil Kinzer reported that the Winter Carnival was a smashing success. Fifty-three children from the Woodstock Children's home, plus adults from the homo were bussed to Wonder Lake. They enjoyed snowmobile rides, ice skating and a good time plus plenty of food. Gordy Gran reported that the local soccer team is in need of a level area for their sport. March 23 is set for the annual ladies day bowling banquet.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE TOPIC "Man " is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon to be read in McHenry Christian Science church this Sunday. The Golden Text is from Haggai: "Be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord, and work: for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts." , Ellen's comment shows that millions of dollars in superb advertising can be neutralized by inefficiency at the "point of contact" with the customers. So send for the booklet below and take the "Test of Tact". Hungry diners are often doubly irritable, anyway, so airlines should wake up! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D, CASE E-514: Ellen G., aged 28, is a housewife. "Dr. Crane," she protested, "I wish the airlines would use a little more horse sense! "For example, I flew to Texas recently with my husband for his sales convention. "But ou^ meals on the plane were delayed for almost an extra hour because the stewardesses were trying to sell whiskey up and down the aisle. "It was dinner time and some of the children across from the aisle were whining because they were hungry. "My husband was also grumbling because the girls didn't get our meals to us on schedule. "Besides, this airline seems tp pride itself on Easter egg , colors, so the stewardesses were delayed some more as they were supposed to slip into different colored costumes. "For Example, they wore one dress while they #rere selling whiskey. "Then they had to shift to another colorful costume before they started serving us our meals. "But the dresses had zippers in the back and the girls had to help each other with their zippers. "All this delayed our meals. We ravenous patrons were already grumbling for food s^> we didn't care whether the girls were attired in blue or yellow, red or green. " What the passengers wanted was their dinner, and fast! "So the ill will generated by this unnecessary delay in getting dinner before their customers, far offset the little profit on the whiskey. "I made a count of the number of liquor orders taken, and the gross sales of all the drinks didn't total $100, yet this airline alienated more business than that. "For just one ticket would total that amount, and I know my husband and I shall take a different airline next time!" BUSINESS PSYCHOLOGY Alas, many good business corporations will spend nv.l- Iions of dollars attracting new prospects. But then they may alienate such customers after they have finally brought them into their stores or airplanes. The same is true mous restaurant^/ For the owner may invest huge sums in advertising, only to have a careless or tactless waitress offend new patrons after they have finally been coaxed inside. You are familiar with the old adage that a chain is no stronger than its weakest link. And the best advertising campaign can be sabotaged by inept or lazy or undiplomatic employees at the actual "point of sale". And when people are growing hungry, they are doubly sensitive to any little mistake that delays their meal. In my extensive speaking tours I have traveled far more than 1,000,000 myfes on airplane. But the prescribed system for food serving is often inefficient and too long delayed! Send for my "Vocational Guidance Booklet", enclosing a long stamped, return ^envelope, plus 20 cents, for it contains a "Test of Tact" 6f great value to iieople who "front" for their firms. (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped, addressed envelople and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you Sept for one of his booklets.) ! lso of fa- MCHS STUDENTS TO ATTEND U of I GUEST PROGRAM The College of Engineering University of Illinois, is planning a special guest program in conjunction with its mannual engineering open house.

EVEN MILLIONAIRES COULDN'T GET THEIR CARS CHECKE ANY BETTER THAN YOU CAN AT THE J. n £Otv\ kefor& Last Rehearsals For Class Play "When is an FBI agent not an agent? Or when is a fake FBI man really an FBI man?" Earth-shaking questions such as these will be pursued by the senior class of McHenry high school when they stage "Who Was That Lady ISaw You With?" this coming weekend in the high school auditorium. Director Allen W. Lyndrup said of the play, "This is a really funny piece; the story is a classic one of mistaken identities, mistaken motives and remedies that are worse than the illness the/re used against. The students involved have spent long hours in preparing what I think will be an excellent production." The play will be presented to three different audiences. Friday, March 8 will be opening night, with the performance slated for 8 p.m. Saturday has two performances scheduled, one at 2:15 in the afterftocp., and one in the evening at 8.
