Establishing The Grade Grading is important for proper drainage and appearance. By •^quipping yourself with the proper vools, you can save hours of labor nnd assure yourself of a fine, even Beed bed that makes the perfect foundation for an attractive lawn. A wheelbarrow or garden cart is a necessity. It saves endless steps in distributing the soil evenly. Sharp, sturdy shovels, hoes and rakes are, of course, essential in any grading operation and . are used for years in maintaining a healthy lawn and garden. For the rough grading (which should be completed before any corrective work is done) determine two basic grade po.nts -- the elevation at the bases of the buildings and the points of run-off of the surface water. When these points are established the area cai be rough graded "~to reasonably near its fiz^.1 grade without deter mining the actual elevations.

Mrs. Graham, president of the McHenry unit of the Auxiliary, says that all of our members take great pride in having a share in the community service. No one needs to be told that our community service chairman Gertrude Barbian, is, as usual, doing more than her share of c o m m u n i t y w o r k . G e r t r u d e throws herself whole-heartedly^ into these projects and they go over with a bang. The Red Cross is, of course, Gertrude's pet Activity. Right at the moment she is anxious to get a necessary quota of signatures for the blood bank. The date is set tentatively for April 29. The hours will be 2 to 8 p.m. This date falls on a Wednesday when the store's are normally closed and many workers will be free. The hours should work out well for both those who are in town and the ones returning by train in the evening. Mrs. Barbian pleads with all who can possibly do so to sign a pledge card. Remember that the need for blood is as great as ever and h»w can there be a better slogan than this one--The pint you give may save a life. Mrs. Barbian announced the titles of two books to be presented by the Auxiliary to the library. They are "Sea of Glory" and "Mary Lincoln." The Auxiliary participated in a successful party at the Elgin hospital and took the usual gifts of candy, cigarettes and cookies to the boys at Downey hospital. The thing the boys there, enjoy most is the companionship of our Legion and Auxiliary members who make this pilgrimage faithfully every- month. They are rewarded for their efforts by seeing these unfortunate boys and a few women, too, happy for an evening. «• , ; t Birthday Party f: Last Monday evening the Auxiliary gave the Legion post members a party to commemorate the thirty-fourth birthday anniversary of the American Legion. The pot-luck supper was good and very plentiful. After the supper there was entertainment in the form of dancing and cards. There were some of the county and eleventh district officers present. Among them were Mrs. Behrens, county president, and Mrs. Fredericksen, eleventh district director, and her alternate. Minnie Green. Bill Green represented the county. He is county commander but Bill and Minnie can hardly be called visitors. Herb Reihansperger, post commander s]Wc briefly.
