Census Bureau Seeks Facts On Dual Job Holding How many American workers are holding more than one job? How many are working overtime and what is their overtime pay? What are workers' usual hours on their jobs? Forrest P. Cawley, Jr., director of the Bureau of the Census Data Collection center in Chicago, announced that information on these subjects will be collected during the week of May 14-18 from a sample of households in this area. The questions are in addition to the usual ones asked in the monthly survey of em­ ployment and unemployment conducted nationwide by the Bureau for the U.S. Depart­ ment of Labor. Flags Wave No More (an editorial) THE FLAGS DON'T WAVE ANYMORE And the bands don't meet the ships: but the sick and disabled man returning from Vietnam has given just as much as his dad did in World War II. Maybe he's given a little more. In addition to his health, his strength, and his earning capacity, he's lost some of his confidence in his fellow citizen. If a little lump of bitterness is added to his other aches and pains, who can blame him? Thousands of young men are bedfast for life- others are destined to spend the rest of their days in wheel chairs or on crutches-as the result of a war they didn't start and in a cause they haven't fully understood. Many more have found themselves handicapped in adjusting to the challenges of a civilian life which has passed them by. A grateful government has provided hospitalization where needed and some compensation where impaired earning power can be proven, but no government, no matter how well meaning, can provide the personal touch and the individual understanding that staves off despair. The Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion are pledged to serve the disabled and needy veteran and to aid and comfort his dependents. Veterans themselves, the members of the V.F.W. and the American Legion, (and the wives, mothers, sisters and daughters who make up their ladies' auxiliaries) have met the challenge by lending a helping hand in the battle against doubt, boredom, bitterness and despair. In veterans' hospitals, at the seats of government, and in the community, you will find V.F.W. and American Legion volunteers at work in behalf of the returning veteran. Funds are needed to carry on their programs. While the V.F.W. and American Legion raise most of their money from their own members, the public is offered an op­ portunity to help by the purchase of a "Poppy" during the annual sale. "Poppy" day in the McHenry area will be Saturday, Mar 12. When a volunteer offers a Poppy, please con­ tribute generously. Your help will go a long way toward smoothing the path of a deserving young man. The volunteers represent V.F.W. Post 4600, American Legion Post 491 and their ladies' auxiliaries. Food Program Participation For March Rises The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has reported its preliminary estimates on the operation of food assistance programs in the month of March. A total of 15.2 million people are estimated to have taken part in the family food programs in March, slightly . more than the 15.1 million taking part in February, 1973, and an increase over the 15.0 million participating in March 1972. This total includes par­ ticipation in the food stamp program and the food distribution program. Participation in the food stamp program in March totaled 12.6 million people. This was up slightly from the 12.5 million participating in February, 1973, but was over one million larger than the 11.4 million participating in March, 1972. The value of bonus food stamps issued to recipients totaled $183 million, up slightly from the preceding month. Results of this monthly survey provide a continuing measure of economic con­ ditions in the country. The March survey showed that employment rose sharply to 83.9 million, 700,000 more than in February. The overall jobless rate was 5.0 percent, not materially different from 5.1 percent in February, but substantially below the 5.9 percent rate of March a year ago. legal Notice Sealed bids will be received by the City of McHenry at the City Hall, 1111 N. Green St., until 8 o'clock P.M., May 21, 1973 for new 1973 2 Ton truck. Specifications may be secured at the office of the City Clerk. The right is reserved to reject any or all bids or to waive any informality in any bid and to accept any considered ad­ vantage to the City. ITEM: Dried herbs should be kept in tightly sealed bottles away from heat so they do not lose their flavor. ITEM: The caftan -- a loose, flowing garment, almost a drap­ ery of fabric with slits for arms and head -- is indicative of the new unencumbered way of dress­ ing up, even for formal occasions. Unlike designer clothes of the past, the caftan doesn't rely on cut or detail for its appeal. Its beauty and the reason for the caftan's often high price lie in luxury fabrics and unique ap­ proach.
