YOUNG AT HEARTS It was probably the most appetizing and challenging display of baked goods we've ever seen! There were whipped cream cakes and homemade Swedish rye bread and Kolaches with three colorful fillings and tables full of treats to tempt the palate at the Young at Hearts bake sale on April 10. Needless to say the sale was a success, due to the generous contributions of the creatively cooking members. President, Marie Robinson is grateful to all her workers and is planning to have another bake sale in the fall. The im­ portant numbers of the day were 33 and 217. Proceeds from the sale help to finance the trips for the group.

CHILDREN AND YOUTH April is the month for this very most important program and Alice Rossberg, chairman, explains how unit members of the American Legion auxiliary Unit 1169, Wonder Lake, par­ ticipate. "Our children are our most important asset." The.youth of today and tomorrow are forever in need of a helping hand. In the children and youth program of the American Legion and American Legion auxiliary, millions are donated by units to help stamp out drug abuse, diseases, youth in trouble and neglected children. The children and youth program offers an opportunity to strengthen our communities by improving the physical, mental and moral welfare of our most precious asset - today's children, tomorrow's citizens and leaders. A helping hand is given in many ways to retarded children, playgrounds, equipment for hard of hearing centers, parties for children in hospitals, food and clothing for the needy. Through the American Legion auxiliary units, scholarships are awarded to our youth. Donations are made to substantiate the needs for direct assistance and tem­ porary financial assistance.' Girl Staters are sponsored by many auxiliary units. If through this program we are able to give medical care to a child in need and education to a brilliant, but impoverished student, a new start and a new life to a misguided or un­ derprivileged youth - if we are able to do any of these things through our children and youth program, we are performing the best kind of unselfish Community service possible. Lois Haak, Communications Chairman (Editor's Note: This is the twelfth in a series on .UN­ DERSTANDING MENTAL HEALTH, presented as a public service by the Family Service and Mental Health Clinic of McHenry county. Purpose is to help develop a much broader understanding of one of this nation's major health problems. Information is supplied with the cooperation of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Today's presentation concerns How Memory Works.) Some people seem to be able to recite facts and figures without a moment's hesitation. Others grope and complain of their "bad memory." Probably they worry more than they should. •" The human brain has billions of cells and lots of storage room for facts. How a person handles the information he takes in is the most important requirement for having a good memory. By hooking some new name or fact or idea onto others already fully established (a process psychologists call multiple registration), the chances are greatly improved that it will be remembered when needed. For example, when a new person is met, say something such as "I didn't quite get your name, would you please repeat it for me?" Having heard it a second time, use die name in conversation as quickly as possible, and surround it with related facts-as, Mr. Jones has a farm of 160 acres to which he BIRTHDAYS Happy birthday to April Williams, who celebrates her thirteenth on April 23.

POSTAL NEWS To reduce the number of undeliverable Mother's pay greeting cards and packages this year, the U.S. Postal Service is again asking the public to use greater care in addressing and to include a return address. "It may seem 6trange, but each year the Postal Service receives thousands of Mother's Day cards and packages that cannot be delivered as ad­ dressed, or sent back because there's no return address," Postmaster Lorraine W. Murphy said. CCD CLASSES Registration for children's CCD classes at Christ the King church for the 1976-77 school year will be held after the 8 p.m. Mass on Saturday, April 24 and after the 8,10 and 12 a m.

Do you have mutual friends? Shared hobbies? These "hooks" help fix the name in your mind, a device that will work equally well when applied to any typ4 of information it is important to remember. Tension and fatigue can make remembering difficult. A good night's sleep often results in clear recollection the next day of wirfe fact impossible to retrieve earlier. • . > If you are remembering the kind of things you really neeed to remember, don't worry about a "poor" memory for other things. Your mind is selective and this is good. You focus on-and remember-what is really important. Albert Einstein was one of the world's great scientists, his mind busy with concepts so complex the average person could not follow them at all. Yet he had great trouble remem­ bering his home address in Princeton, N.J., and was frequently seen asking a passerby to help him find it.
