McHENRY UNIT NO 491 By Pearl Cooper -• On Dec. 15. 1937, the American Legion auxiliary, Department of Illinois, opened a small non-profit shop in Chicago's Loop area, known as Veteran's Craft Exchange. This was managed by a disabled veterans, assisted by volunteer auxiliary members. Its purpose was to aid disabled veterans in disposing of the handicraft made by themselves or their dependents The Craft shop opened with 90 exhibitors. Today they number over 300 from 36 states. This has necessitated moving to a forger, more attractive quarters. Among the most popular of the items are the rugs woven by blind veterans. The materials used for the rugs are prepared by local auxiliary members. Members of the McHenry unit have helped by supplying many, many pounds of such materials. Donations of clean usable materials, such as panty hose, nylon stockings, etc., would be appreciated by the McHenry unit for this program. Mrs. Philip (Louise) Sineni of Wonder Lake serves as Veteran's Craft chairman and may be contacted for further information This unit has also contributed to the maintenance of the shop, which depends almost entirely on such donations Articles made by the disabled veterans are on display daily at the McHenry American Legion post home, Kingwood road, and are for sale to anyone desiring to help the hospitalized veterans and their dependents Application forms and full details are available to any- disabled veterans wishing to become an exhibitor and may be secured from Mrs. Sineni. \ MR.

Frozen vegetables are special-special hybrids grown because freezing brings out their best. Their treatment is special, too. Generally, freezing plants are not more than five miles from the fields where the vegetables are grown so they can be frozen within a few hours after har­ vest. They're trimmed, washed, sorted and graded. Then, they're blanched-a partial cooking that stops the biological systems that otherwise would cause con­ tinuous loss of color, flavor and nutrients. It's easy to buy frozen foods in your supermarket. There's plenty to choose from among the marvelous out-of-season goodies, simple-to-use con­ venience foods, wonderful fruits and vegetables and meats and fish, to name a few. But how you care for and how you handle frozen foods can make the difference between delectable eating and a fizzle at the table. So here are some suggestions to keep the nutrition and quality in your frozen foods. Make the frozen food department the last stop on your shopping tour. Try not to keep frozen foods in your car for prolonged periods, especially during warm weather when temperatures inside parked cars soar. Once home, unpack and put frozen foods in the freezer at once. In case of a power blackout, avoid opening freezers as much as possible. Unless a power failure lasts more than 24 hours, there should be little if any harm to frozen foods. If the power collapse lasts longer than 24 hours, prepare frozen foods and use them as soon as possible. And do acquire a freezer thermometer - it's a good investment to insure a storage temperature of zero degrees. ness JOGGING .It's free. ..It's TIPS ON It's fun. jogging!
