The in­ spiration came from Col. John McCrae's poem, "In Flanders Fields." In October, 1921, the American Legion, at its convention in Kansas city, repudiated its action of 1920 in choosing the Poppy as its official flower, and substituted the Daisy. In May, 1922, the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States conducted a nation-wide sale of Poppies made in France. This was after the dissolution of the Franco-American lea­ gue, and in response to an appeal by Madam Guerin, "the Poppy lady from France." In October, 1922, following the first nation-wide sale of Poppies by the V.F.W., the American Legion convention repudiated the Daisy as its official flower and again adopted the Poppy. In the Spring of 1923, the American Legion conducted its first nation-wide sale of Poppies made by a French manufacturer. In 1923, the Veterans of Foreign Wars evolved the idea which resulted in the V.F.W. "Buddy" Poppy. In February, 1924, the V.F.W. registered the name "Buddy" Poppy with the U.S. Patent office, and still holds all president, John M. Johnson, has said it will combine the country's 200th anniversary with its own thirty-fifth an­ niversary in selecting a theme for the May, 1976, program. The year ahead promises to be an interesting one for those to whom the history of our country is an important heritage. K.A.F. trademark rights in the name "Buddy" under the classification of artificial flowers. Since May, 1924, the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States has annually conducted a "Buddy" Poppy sale. This May 17 in McHenry, whether one -- receives a "Buddy" Poppy or a "Memorial" Poppy, the buyer will know it has been made by a hospitalized veteran. Members of both the V.F.W. and • * auxiliary and the American Legion and auxiliary will be volunteering their time on Saturday, so smile when approached to buy a Poppy. LEASE BUILDING FOR OFF-CAMPUS SCHOOL (Continued from page 1) provide an electronic security guard alarm installation at three district schools. In viewing options on various plans, members agreed to lease the system for one year at a cost of $1,116 with an in­ stallation charge of $415. Maintenance will be handled by the company. The equipment proposed consists of a base unit, four microwave detectors, two electronic sirens, one external siren case, magnetic door contacts, and a remote key control with light. A building will be secured for the night and the alarm system activated by an individual using the remote key control. In case of an intrusion through a door or otherwise, the movement is picked up by a sensor which triggers two electronic sirens. These will remain active for two minutes, and the system will then reset itself for a similar situation. The budget for inservice was disclosed to the board, along with a report of the Inservice committee which surveyed the staff and asked teachers to rank and list inservice ac­ tivities for the next school year. Largest budget items were $3,000 for contractual services for employing a Glasser con­ sultant for four days, plus $215 for travel and supplies. Teachers had expressed an interest in continuation of Glasser on a district-run basis, and continuation of a formal Glasser program for credit. Other large expenses include $2,760 for updating curriculum, for which district staff is used during the summer. Another is $5,OQO for International Graduate School of Education workshop-instructors and material. In following an ad­ ministration recommendation, the board adopted materials for a kindergarten through fifth grade Language Arts program. The selection was made by the Language Arts committee after six months of extensive review of existing programs, previews of new material, etc. The committee based selections on the following philosophy expressed here in part: "It is the basic belief of the Language Arts committee that instruction is directed in the following areas: Com­ position, Reading, Speech, Drama, Listening, Grammar and Spelling. It is necessary that emphasis should be directed in each of these areas." In the area of Science, the Science committee spent the year investigating available programs for the purpose of selection. Members said the material now in use is outdated and lacks features described as "manipulatives and current focus". It was pointed out that in most instances, students receive only a text book ap­ proach, and little ex­ perimenting is done. Selections for all grade levels as recommended, were ap­ proved by the board. Plans were revealed for June 10 graduation exercises. They follow closely the pattern of the past three years. The only major change is that the Parkland school ceremonies v^ill begin at 7 o'clock this year, followed at 8:30 by the Junior high graduation. Guest speaker will be Earl R. Walsh, who is culminating a career during which he devoted forty years of service to the city and the community. A discussion was held on the Family Educational Rights and Privacy act of 1974. copies were distributed of letters sent each year to inform local parents of ' the students' rights policy. The act calls for strict procedures to be followed concerning student records and student information. The board adopted a new, broader policy developed as the result of a meeting of Districts 15 and 156 May 1 to coordinate student record procedures. Booklets entitled, "Enjoy Yourself in Summer School 1975" were distributed, con­ taining a brief outline of the eighty-nine courses to be of­ fered by the district. The ad­ ministration announced that sixty-five children were registered the first day. Summer School will run from June 16 through July 25. A Preliminary budget in­ formation report for all funds for 1975-76 was given to the board, with the idea of receiving input from members) An adoption date of the new budget has been set for Sep­ tember. The low bid of Triarco Arts & Crafts, Wheeling, to supply a pottery kiln for Junior high school was approved. It was in the amount of $2,271 for the basic unit, plus $224 for automatic shutoff. The bid of Purity Baking Co., Rockford, was approved to supply bread next year; Hedlin's Dairy, Chicago, for milk, and Schoep's Ice Cream Co., Madison, Wis., ice cream. All were low bids. Three companies were asked to submit bids for carpeting at Landmark and Hilltop. However, it was disclosed that of two answers received, one did not meet specifications and the other (higher of the two) was not able to furnish sam­ ples. More bids will be sought. Announcement was made of the retirement of Alice Clark, remedial reading and Learning Center teacher at Valley View, and also Leta Clark, fourth grade teacher at Hilltop. Among non-certificated employees, Dick Glawe was employed as transportation director (pending approval of District 156); Berniece Carr, teacher aide for Gifted at Hilltop; Mary Jo Kryc, teacher aide at Parkland; Judith ( HORNSBYS _ family centers A REPRESENTATIVE From. .. .

ASSURE TAX EQUALIZATION (Continued front page 1) - dollars »intended for educational purposes "are constantly being eroded away". They pointed to the recent action of the County board to recover collection fees from taxing bodies. The board noted that fees for collection would amount to between $100,000 and $140,000 from school districts for one year. Several legal proposals are in the hopper concerning the question of collecting fees. If one of them is passed, resolving the problem, the county will abide by the decision. Other­ wise, the county will make the collection as planned. The subject of a posse for McHenry county was discussed by Member Willis Simms of McHenry. Sheriff Arthur Tyrrell also has been working on the similar program in conjunction with the Civil Defense director and the Public Safety committee. Now in preparation, the posse would be able to submit illegal activity information to the Sheriff's office. However, Tyrrell said there were many other uses for posse members, such as traffic, parades, etc. However, he cautioned the board not to become too op­ timistic in the belief that the addition of these posse mem­ bers was the answer to all police problems. "We have three times as many felony indictments in McHenry county as in Lake county" he said, "in spite of the fact that Lake county's population is much greater". "We could have a policeman on every corner", he con­ tinued," and it wouldn't be a solution to the burglary problem. The Sheriff pointed the finger of blame on parents whom he accused of having no super­ vision over their children. Simms asked if posse members might be of help in the drug problem, to which Tyrrell replied that they might be of use in supplying in­ formation. The Sheriff said he was often asked why there isn't greater patrol on the river. "The river is covered well", he said. "McHenry county had only one drowning last year compared with twenty in neigh­ boring Lake county." The board approved a resolution for tax anticipation warrants in the amount of $402,500 against the County Highway Tax fund, and also an allowance up to $1,600 for moving expense of Extension Service from the old courthouse to the Farm Bureau building. A report was distributed concerning the McHenry County CETA Manpower program, a federally funded project designed to combat unemployment in the county. This has been carried out since May 1 of 1974, by providing job training and employment opportunities to the unem­ ployed, the economically disadvantaged, and the un­ deremployed. In the first year, the program was funded by $500,000 by the federal government. A county highway route numbering system will be put into effect this summer, based on a plan of the Illinois Department of Transportation. J.R. Rakow, county superin­ tendent of Highways, asked for approval of his plan to im­ plement the program locally. Charles "Chuck" Weingart of McHenry, who heads the Agriculture committee, in­ troduced Nancy Moore, Home Economics adviser, and George J. Young, Agriculture adviser, for a review of their activities. An interesting sidelight was injected when Ms. Moore was asked why can lids were in such short supply. She said 400 million had been made last year but she had no idea where they are.
