THE MfcHENir By Marie Schaettgen f SeooiCtjr •n; Defense ChrU ^^JJlUan Killer (Mra. Nlek Mll- W) made our February meeting triTiemorable one by showing us a motion picture on civilian defense. This interesting film was furnished by the Bell Telephone company and we understand that they have others of eqilal interest Which may be had for the asking. The Bell Telephone company's Well-organised plan to be Jrtit into immediate effect in the •vent that we should be subjected to ' the horrible nightmare of to eQemy attack gave us all a certain measure of confidence. We know that Bell Telephone is especially prepared to meet thai •emergency should it arise. We feel sure that other service or utility companies have a like plan of action mapped out for our defenae. All of ui thould realize that although we fervently hope and pray that we shall be spared the ordeal of WAR at home, it is within the realm of possibility and we should be alert to the dangers we would be called upap to faee. One important means of defense begins in the home and the town. That is home and civil defense. Mrs. Miller stressed the importance of having every one with any special qualification register his or her availability if needed for defense. Most of us a#e capable of doing something to help, if it is only to care for children or the sick in order to release a trained person for duty. Anyone who is interested in this phase of defense may contact Mrs. Miller. Many of our Auxiliary members have already signed a card to that effect. This doesn't mean you will be asked to do anything now - but may be trained to act if attack is imminent. At our January meeting we were honored by the presence of two guest speakers. One of them was James Powers, eleventh district commander, who spoke on the U.M.T. bill and its many phases and implications. He also discussed the McCarren Bill to lower immigration laws. The other speaker was our own Bill Green of McHenry who spoke as representative of the Illinois Veterans Commission. He was deeply concerned about the , proposed drastic cut in the budget for veterans' hospitals. He said the hospitals are hopelessly .crowded now and My further cut is unthinkable. He urges all of us to contact our representatives in congress to protest this measure. Our president, Mrs. Luella Graham asked that civic-minded meiriber of ours, Gertrude Barbian, to tell us of the many monetary needs of some organizations. We voted to donate to three of these. All in all, it was • very satisfactory meeting. Poor Food Habits Are A Handicap • * " • "* ~ ' 1 "r Eating habits, both good and bad, are built in infancy and childhood. You can expect a preschool child with sound food habits to emerge as an adult who eats practically everything. He'll be better off from the standpoint of nutrition, and his social contacts will be more pleasant. # Child development and family relations specialist, Ruth Cooper, University of Illinois College of Agriculture, offers some addK tional comments on the subject. Miss Cooper points out that we all know persons who are finicky about eating. They have definite likes and dislikes for certain foods. Generally these people are a social nuisance. No hostess enjoys worrying around with fussy dinner guests; sjte'd often rather not have them come to dinner. Your Income Tax By Ernest J. Sauber Director of Internal Revenue First District7 of Illlndla ' "! What's Deductible? The matter of uniforms and work clothes creates a great deal of discussion and often misunderstanding. In this article the specific requirements as well as special rulings will be discussed in order t% help clarify questions taxpayers Inay have when they consider reporting them as deductible items. Cost and Maintenance of Clothes In general, the cost and maintenance of work clothes represents a personal expense which is not deductible 'for income tax purposes. However, recent court decisions have allowed deductions for the cost and maintenance of uniforms for income tax pur~ VV"«V poses, iifl bWoVtUhi oUfl the following The situation is unfortunate, I conditions are met A projected enrollment chart for all McHenry schools was made up in recent weeks and shows the notable increase in number of students which has taken place and which may be expected in the years to come. since these difficult eating habits, might have been avoided or overcome some of your food dislikes. Be patient, and use good judgment. If you think you can't learn to like a certain food, remember that almost everyone ha* to learn to like olives. If the food you dislike is important nutritionally, or if it is a food that is served frequently? you'll be the winner if you learn to like it. You'll benefit both physically and socially. 1.

For example, many people who "can't stand" liver are pleasantly surprised to discover that they can't resist baked liver loaf. Some people have found that they could gradually work up to liking raw oyfor ordinary street wear. Overalls t and coveralls are worn by laborers in the building trades and factories because they are cheaper than ordinary clothing and not because the employsters via. route of oyster ^ require these particular types dressing, baked oysters and oyster stew. Perhap? you can improve the food habits of others in your family, too, if you study the problem and use the indirect approach of disguising unappetizing flavors with ones they 4ike. Soon you may find that through a process of association they have oome to like the flavors of formerly disliked foods.
