thunday. April 23, 1964 TAB McHENHY PLAINDEALER aM An overflowing crowd of well over 350 persons attended the tenth anniversary celebration of Squadron 491, Sons of the American Legion at the Legion home in McHenry on Sunday, April 19, Although many had to stand during the program, they thoroughly enjoyed a most colorful and entertaining afternoon. The program was called to order by Commander Steve Kreier at 2:15. Call to the colors was then sounded by W.W.I. Barracks member and bugler, Ernie Sanders of Wonder Lake. The championship Viscount color guard then posted colors in a fashion that proved why they are champs! Marty Conway then sang "The Star Spangled" Banner" with great pride in the style that so many of you know. Invocation was given by Rev. Mc- Ilntyre of the Faith Presbyterian church. A welcome was extended to those present by Mayor Donald Doherty, with a message of commendation to the Americon Legion Post 491 and to Squadron 491 of the Sons of the American Legion. The St. Charles ritual team was then introduced and took their respective fibsitions and proceeded to perform the ritual ceremony in which fifty-four candidates participated. Detachement Commander Ben Lipsner did the honor of presenting the five-year awards to Fred Cooper, Mike Cooper, Robert Conway III, Dennis Conway, Tom Diedrich, Bob Doran, Scott Fisher, Bob Fereres, Stove Foreres, Tom Hechmeister, Don Hachmeister, Ed Hayward, Steve Kreier, Paul Kilday, Tim Low, Tom Low, James Lingenfelter, Alan Miller, Dave Miller, Ronald Reid, Bob Wirfs and John Zimny, Jr. National Executive Commit - teman C.

Don Vycital, John Vycital and Wilber Hecht. Highlight of the program was the presence of the first Captain (now called commander) of the squadron which was formed ten years ago, Past Captain John Vycital. His dad was the most surprised qf all; as John travelled over 800 miles from the east coast to be present. at the anniversary of the squadron. That is what is known as true loyalty to an organization. Another higli- D. Vycital, Sr., as the person light was the recognition of H. who started the squadron. The most surprised person present was none other than Paul Raasch, who was the very first music instructor for the Sons of the American Legion, it was hisYunselfishness and interest in piufcic and youth that the championship Viscounts emerged, ATTEND GOP CONFERENCE rywrn '•mmm - > 6 ,a J '~ ' f 'k / J A1 i u-i ' > ';' ft r/\ • '> Mrs. Margaret .Tenner of Crystal Lake, Mrs. Dorothy Miller and Mrs. Clara Nell of McHenry, Mrs. Charles Martin of the Woodstock area, Mrs. Dorothy McEachren of McHenry and Mrs. Wevlander are shown above with Congressman Robert McCloiy when they attended the twelfth annual Republican Women's conference in Washington, D.C.

ROTARY NEWS President Herb Reihansperger announced the recommendation of our board of directors to spearhead a drive for the benefit of the McHenry Library Building fund. The project will take place in the near future. Harry Dean is chairman of this most important committee and will announce the progress to the public as plans progress. Harry and his committee will need the wholehearted support of all the citizens and service organizations of our city when the campaign gets under way. Dr. James McMahon, president of the McHenry Clean Stream organization, and Harland Shaw, chairman Fox Lake Planning Commission, were guests of our club last Thursday. Mr. Shaw explained the ideas and thinking that brought about the organization of North Fox Valley Conservancy district which is to be brought before the voters next month. Judging from the attitude of members present, Mr. Shaw's program was most informative and appreciated. It is a program of great importance to this community and service clubs in this area would find that it has considerable audience appeal. STATE POPULATION Estimated population of Illinois on July 1, 1963, was 10.400,000 persons, the Illinois Department of Public Health has announced. This compares with 10,081,158 persons counted in Illinois during the U.S. census taken early iii 1960. CANCER CRUSADE CONTINUES IN McHENRY AREA The Cancer Crusade continues in the McHenry area, with a large number of enthusiastic volunteers in charge of the business and residential campaign. In the state, the American C a n c e r s o c i e t y works f o r thp individual citizen by conducting research in universities, medical school and hospitals; by giving information on diagnosis and treatment to doctors and by providing comforts for cancer patients and their families. It is a well established fact that progress is being mad'1 in the fight against cancer. More lives are being saved than ever before. Over a million Americans alive today have been cured. A greatly expanding research program is being supported by the government and the American Cancer society, and even in leukemia, cancer of the blood, lives are being extended. The unfortunate fact remains that if the present rates continue, about forty-eight million living Americans will eventually have cancer. Donations to' aid1 research may drastically cut this number. Earl R. Walsh is in charge of business collections: Mrs. Frank .Gregory, city residential section; and Mrs. F\J. Schneider and Mr^. Karl ,W. Abbink, the outlying districts. Nobody except the undertaker cares how terrible you feel. I CLOSE VOTERS FOR GOLDWATER COUNTY CENTER s Voters for Goldwater of the 12th Congressional district, Boone, Lake and McHenry counties, this week closed down its Goldwater headquarters at Woodstock. Thomas Davis of McHenry, board member, said that the closing of the headquarters office does not mean that Voters is slowing down ils drive for Senator Barry M. Goldwater for GOP candidate for President. "The Republican preference vote for Senator Goldwater for President in the recent primary was such a substantial Goldwater Victory," said Mr. Davis, "that Voters has begun its second phase of organization."

McHenry county members are invited to attend a closing meeting at the Goldwater headquarters, 110 W.

VALUE OF VISCOt'NTS "I)oar Kditor "After talking to some of the teon:agers around town I found that it was a common belief that the Viscounts were a "bunch of little kids." I thought, now is as good a time as any to get the record straight. The .average age of the drum corps is ;:15Va years old; The girls' average age is iH'-j and the boys is 15. Many of the members stay to the finish, that is 21 years of age. Presently there are two members 20 years old. The youngest a person can be for field competition is 12, and there are only two 12 year olds going on the field this year. As a side note, quite a few of the fellows work construction, and as we all know, that's no job for a little kid. I know that I have found great pleasure in belonging to this organization in the fact that it has instilled in me a spirit of Competition, a pride in belonging, proper manners and discipline, leadership, and I am treated as an individual and not as a member of a mass. It has also given me a chance to do something with my spare time, instead of riding around town and getting in trouble. "So, if you are between the ages of 12 and 20, it may be worth the trouble to stop down at the American Legion on a Tuesday night and listen to one of our practices. You will find that we aren't a "bunch of little kids." If there are any ouestions about the Viscounts call me at 3H5-1850. "Red English "3409 W. Elm "McHenry.
