PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, APRIL 2t, 1974 Spring Grove Eva Freund 675-2135 Mayor Joseph Stanek signs proclamation for veterans organizations' Poppy day which is scheduled Saturday, May U, in McHenry. Shown with Mayor Stanek is Lucille Garifi, Poppy chairman for the Ladies auxiliary to Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4600. As in the past, the VFW and American Legion and their ladies' auxiliaries will conduct the tag day together. Proclamation Whereas, the sacrifices of those who have lost their lives, their health, or their livelihood as a result of their military service are rightly the concern of all citizens; and Whereas, the annual sale of Poppies by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion offers an opportunity for the people of this community to express their solicitude for those unfortunate persons who have paid more than their share of the cost of freedom; and Whereas, V.F.W. and Legion poppies are assembled by disabled veterans, and the proceeds of this worthy fund- raising campaign are used exclusively for the benefit of disabled and needy veterans, and the widows and orphans of deceased veterans, in the desire to "Honor the Dead by Helping the Living"; therefore I, Joseph Stanek, mayor of the city of McHenry, do hereby urge the citizens of this community to recognize the merits of this c-ause by contributing generously to its support through the purchase of poppies on the day set aside for the distribution of these symbols of appreciation for the sacrifices of our honored dead. I urge all patriotic citizens to wear a poppy as mute evidence of our gratitude to the men of this country who have risked or lost their lives in fulfilling their obligations as American citizens.
