PAGE :$ - PLA1NDEALER - FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, UttU McHenry American Legion Auxiliary UNIT 491 Mrs. Midge Scharf, McHenry Unit 491, American Legion Auxiliary Americanism chairman announced the month of February is Americanism month, and we should "Let Freedom Ring". This month members of the American Legion Auxiliary and other patriotic groups pause to honor two of our nation's great presidents, Washington and Lincoln. A Star of Patriotism will shine when Central Division National Vice President, Mrs. Keith Gaines, of Wichita, Kans. appears as honored guest and luncheon speaker at the patriotic conference in Chicago, Mar. 11. The Americanism program is one of the cornerstones of the purpose for which our organization was founded. Mrs. Scharf will be presenting a certificate to businesses, organizations, factories and hospitals who fly an American flag on a daily basis. Feb. 24-26, American Legion Auxiliary Awareness Assembly will be held in the Washington Hilton, Washington, D.C. Auxiliary leaders throughout the nation will hear noted speakers on topics of Strategic Arms Control, Nuclear Freeze, Criminal Justice and the Law, Jobs for Veterans, and more information on the unresolved POW-MIA question. Leona Best, Department of Illinois President, Mary Gleason, State National Security chairman, Marg Dorn, national chairman for National Security, and National Executive committeewoman Virginia Kates will be some of the members of the state organization attending the assembly. Mrs. Scharf also stated the hand should be placed over the heart during the national anthem. She hoped all members of the unit and people in McHenry use the proper manner in respect of the American flag. This was changed by the 94th Congress, July 7, 1976.

THEN AND NOW Although there is no cure for the common cold, for centuries people have tried all sorts of remedies to relieve its uncomfortable symptoms. THEN: People in some parts of the world believed that wearing garlic • around the neck would ward off the infestious common cold. Despite their efforts, the cold persisted, though the garlic may have kept away some cold carriers. NOW: Still not curable, the cold may make people less miserable today than it used to .thanks to the introduction of over-the-counter decongestant cold medications. However, some people complain that t'hese products may produce un­ comfortable over-drying side effects. Many find that tablets, which do not contain a decongestant, ease cold symptoms without the discomfort of drying out the nasal passages.
