A rrt v ricu ti L eftio n Auxi l iary . \P I V S UNIT 491 By Pearl Cooper Poppy day will be held this year on Saturday, May 15, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. This year, as in past, will be a joint effort of American Legion Post 491 and auxiliary and McHenry VFW Post 4600 and auxiliary. The American Legion auxiliary reports that wearing a Poppy on Poppy day will honor more than half-million Americans who died and the nearly one-million wounded during both World Wars, the Korean War and Vietnam conflict. Most of the funds derived from the sale of the poppies remain in the community in which they are obtained and the funds are used for Child Welfare and Rehabilitation of Veterans or members of their families. The memorial Poppy is made by the hospitalized veterans in Illinois and the materials are supplied free of charge to the veterans in the various Veterans administration hospitals and others. In ad­ dition to the therapeutic value of such a project, they are able receive monetary benefits also. Manufacturing Poppies aids the veterans both financially and psychologically. They are paid for the work they do, and the job itself is a relief from the long hours spent in a hospital ward. For many it is the only opportunity to earn money during the year. The little red Poppy as a memorial flower of American war dead is a tradition which began in the years following the first World War. Veterans returning to their homes in this country remembered the wild Poppies which lined the devasted battlefields of France and Flanders, and the soldiers of all nations came to look upon this flower as a living symbol of their dead comrades' sacrifice. Mrs. Glen (Dottie) Messer is Poppy chairman for the McHenry American Legion auxiliary and has organized a number of the members into volunteer teams to present the poppies to the public in the business sections of McHenry. She asks the cooperation of the citizens to support this project as the donations go directly to McHenry Country Club 820 N. JOHN ST. McHENRY.

DeWANE STUDIO PHOTO Return From Extensive Trip Mr. and Mrs. Charles D. Erckman take a bumpy ride aboard a camel while visiting in the Canary Islands on recent extensive trip. The Charles D. Erckmans of Whispering Oaks, McHenry, recently returned from a tour of the Canary Islands, Spain and Morocco. They stayed on the Island of Tenerife (Eternal Spring) in the Canaries. A dromedary ride up a volcanic mountain and a trip down an enormous lava tunnel highlighted their tour of Lanzarote (the eastern-most island of the Canaries). In Spain, they enjoyed staying in Torremolinos, on the FOOD BASKET Save Energy To save energy in the kitchen, plan ahead. If you need the oven for one dish, round out your menu with others that can be baked in the oven at the same tem­ perature. An oven takes more energy to heat than top-of-range units, but it uses energy efficien­ tly if you cook several dishes at once. sunny "Costa Del Sol", along the blue Mediterranean, where sea foods are a gastronumical delight. One can ride the local busses along the coast, between Maloga, the capital of the Costa Del Sol, Torremolines and the "Mile Long" flea market in Fuengirola for several dimes. A tour of the beautiful Alliam Bra (Moorish kings palace,^ completed in the 14th century) in Granada, was a highlight of their stay in Spain. Tangier, Morocco, was visited via ferry boat across the straits of Gibraltar. Col. Er­ ckman, Retired, stated that bargaining with the native Arabs brought back memories of the year he spent throughout North Africa with the Signal corps during World War II. Mr. and Mrs. Erckman also visited the Casbah at both Tangier and Tetvan as well as the Medina (Market place) with its many one-man stalls, street peddlers and ever-present aroma of burning charcoal. , Milk Facts The Milk Industry Foundation says Americans are drinking less whole milk than they used to, less cream, too, but more low-fat or skim milk. Today, only 9.5 per cent of all dairy products are sold by home delivery, compared to 52 per cent during World War II. Americans drank an average of 132.2 quarts of milk in 1974. Crops Considered The 1975 apple harvest was 13 per cent above the previous year. Canned and frozen veg­ etables remain in good supply while canned snap beans, sweet corn, green peas, toma­ to products and frozen green beans are all plentiful. FRAN'S HIDDEN CURL 1212 N. GREEN ST.

I am writing this letter to young girls and boys who never know how to react to peo­ ple who deliberately try to embrassthem or make snide remarks. The thing to do is to calmly ignore them or react as if you think they are really interested in what they say. If they ask about a black sheep in your fam­ ily, don't try to change the subject but say yes, he is your cousin and you are very sorry for him. You might add that all families have relatives they are not proud of--some in one way and others in another. Never give these crude people the satisfaction of thinking they have caused you embarrassment. Rachel--Va. Answer: I agree with you that some of us learn a great deal in our dealings with' other people as we grow older. Very often the people who try to hurt you, have skeletons in their own closets and are really suf­ fering from inferiority com­ plexes. A simple answer to a question such as you write about is to look the person in the face and calmly say, "Just why are you inter­ ested in asking this"" Louisa.
