UNIT 491 McHenry Unit No. 491 Foreign Relations chairman, Katie Edstrom has announced the American Legion Auxiliary will join the American Legion in promoting and contributing to the Eluwa School for Deaf, Blind and Handicapped, in the country of Namibia, Southwest Africa. The school has a staff of 15 and children ranging in age from three to 16 years of age, and is situated in sun­ baked Owambo, the northernmost region of Namibia. In April, 1982, there were 114 deaf, 50 blind and 10 crippled children. The school tries to keep the children to the age of 16 and then sends them to another school or tries to place them in employment. The school has a woodworking shop where they made their own school equipment from worn-out pieces of furniture, as lumber is very ex­ pensive. «There is a rug weaving program which is basically manned by the blind children. The students receive 50 percent of the sales and retain the rest for future purchase of wool. The handicapped children have been injured mostly in mine ac­ cidents. The deaf are trained with teaching procedures and equipment from the United States. Many items are still needed, such as books to be translated into braille, school clothing, photocopying machines for the deaf and knitting machines and money for a needlework instructor. Namibia is the home of 10 different tribes, each with its own culture and history with 27 languages spoken. The women's apparel ranges from vivid Victorian style gowns to sarongs. The religion is Christian and traditional, life expectancy is 51 years of age. Raising livestock is one main oc­ cupation, but mining of diamonds and uranium base metals rank high in the labor force. Mrs. Edstrom reported that the unit has contributed to this program to help furnish the Eluwa school. She also reported that the unit has contributed to Radio Free Europe- Radio Liberty. The money is used for the internship of college students to spend an eight-week period in training to spread word of freedom and knowledge to those not as free as we are. Each week RFE reaches an estimated audience of 25.3 million in Eastern Europe and Radio Liberty almost seven million people in the U.S.S.R. Many families are still waiting to receive word of their loved ones who served more than a decade ago in the Indochina war and are still "Missing In Action". Mrs. Edstrom, Unit Foreign Relations chairman, said, "You can express your concern over the fate of these MIA veterans by contacting the president of the United States and secretaries of state and defense, and let them know about your concern."

McHenry BPW Club Slates Speaker On Education At Jan. Dinner-Meeting Guest speaker at the McHenry Business and Professional Women's club's regular monthly meeting Monday, Jan. 24, will be Shelly Kaplan, presently a counselor at McHenry County college and coor­ dinator of the Re-Entry program. As part of this program, she arranges seminars and workshops, develops programs for adult students at MCC and for adults in the community who would like to re-enter an educational setting. She also instructs a career development course and co-leads an eight-week seminar entitled "Success Skills for Women in Transition". Ms. Kaplan has an MA in counseling from Southern Illinois university and has been employed at MCC since 1978. From 1978 until the summer of 1982, she was the coordinator of the MCC Outreach program in Woodstock and started her new position during the fall semester of 1982. The Re-entry program will be sponsoring the sixth annual Women's Information day Mar. 26. This day is an invitation to women to become involved with MCC, increase self- awareness, and network with college personnel and members of the community. The day consists of workshops, displays, keynote address and luncheon. Included will be a xeroxed copy of the brochure of the fifth annual Women's Information day to give an idea of what has been of­ fered in the past. This year, the keynote speaker will be Terry Savage, the financial analyst for WMAQ-TV (NBC) in Chicago who is seen nightly on her "Moneywatch" commentary. Her addreess will be titled, "Women and Finance". In order to bring a speaker of this caliber to McHenry county, it will be necessary to charge a minimal fee for the day. Also, organizations traditionally involved with women's issues are being asked if they would be interested in making a financial contribution so the day can be as successful as possible. These con­ tributions will be used to provide scholarships for women who would not be able, to attend without assistance and for costs associated with the day. Contributions should be sent to McHenry County college, Re- Entry program. In addition to the scheduled program, McHenry's Young Career Woman, Donna Bertulis, who will represent the McHenry BPW, will present her three-minute speech on "The Changing World of Working Women", the theme chosen this year for competition between district young career winners.

McHenry American Legion Auxiliary DISTRICT 11 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 veteran, 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 larger, more attractive quarters. Among the most popular of the items are rugs woven by blind veterans. Materials used for the rugs are prepared by local auxiliary members. Members of the eleventh district 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 Veteran's Craft Exchange chairmen in your area.
