Most of the funds derived from the sale of the poppies remain in the community in which they are obtained and the funds are used for child welfare and rehabilitation of veterans or members of their families. The Memorial Poppy is made by the hospitalized veterans in Illinois and the materials are supplied free of charge to the veterans in the various Veterans administration hospitals and others. In ad­ dition to the therapeutic value of such a project, they are able to receive monetary benefits also. Manufacturing poppies aids the veterans both financially and psychologically. They are paid for the work they do, and the job itself is a relief from long hours spent in a hospital ward. For many it is the only op­ portunity to earn money during the year. The little red poppy as the memorial flower of American war dead is a tradition which began in the years following the first World War. Veterans returning to their homes in this country remembered the wild poppies which lined the devasted battlefields of France and Flanders, and the soldiers of all nations came to look upon this flower as a living symbol of their dead comrades' sacrifice. Mrs. Glen (Dottie) Messer is Poppy chairman for the McHenry American Legion auxiliary and she has organized a number of the members into volunteer teams to present the poppies to the public in the business sections of McHenry. She asks the cooperation of the citizens to support this project as the donations go directly to aid the disabled veterans or their families. Donations of any size are acceptable and Poppy day offers the American public an opportunity to honor the war dead and assist the living. The slogan this year is, "Ring out the Bells Loud and Clear- Wear a Poppy for our Veteran this Year".

If you have already decided that contact lenses are for you, the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness recommends a few points to consider before you join the ranks of more than 600,000 Americans who each year start wearing hard or soft contact lenses for the first time. Soft lenses are usually comfortable to a patient in less than one day. Hard lenses can take a much longer adjustment period often with considerable discomfort. At this stage of development there is no soft lens designed for correction fo astigmatism. Soft lenses work best for the nearsighted with limited or no astigmatism. Requiring more care than glasses or hard lenses, soft lenses must be thoroughly washed and rinsed in an Aseptor unit for 15 minutes daily. The newer lenses are easily damaged by long fingernails or foreign objects small enough to get into the plastic. It is not always possible to achieve the same crisp vision with soft lenses as with eye glasses or hard lenses because they cannot yet be made to precise optical specification. And if economy is an im­ portant factor, consider that the average individual gets new glasses every two years which cost approximately $40-$80 including eye examination, modern frames and plastic lenses. The hard lenses run between $125 and $200 and last around six years. Soft lenses cost considerably more. They range from $250 to $350 a pair ana last about a year. In any case, the choice between hard and soft lenses is a personal decision to be made in consultation with your eye doctor. m For more data on contact lenses write to The Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness, 220 South State Street, Chicago 60604, for a free brochure. * $ >• • vSi FOREST FIRE Flaming forest fires may release as much energy in two minutes as the explosion of a 20- kiloton bomb The intense heat generated by such fires has split huge boulders All sections of the UniteH States are subject to forest fires ach year Nine out of ten of the /lazes are started through cart iessness More than one out o£ four are set intentionally BANK NOTES BY DONALD DALEY PRESIDENT FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY "DIXIE" From story or song, we are all familiar with this unique and beloved term that symbolizes the Old South in its' most glorious and gracious era but more than likely, few of us have ever heard how the actual word came about. Curiously, the term " Dixie " stems from American banking pract­ ices of the early 19th cen­ tury. In those several de­ cades preceding the Civil War, the Federal govern­ ment, having been "bur­ ned" with the Continental Currency of the Revolut­ ionary War, issued only coin money ... the in­ dividual state banks were the only source of paper currency. Each state bank issued its' own bank notes or legal tender. In the 1830's the Citizens Bank of Louisiana, located in New Orleans, issued a ten dollar bill and as French was commonly spok­ en in the Louisiana area, these bills carried both French and English word­ ing on them. On the face of this $10 note, there ap­ peared the English "ten" and also in equally large letters, the word "dix", meaning "ten" in French. Over a period of twenty years these $io bills came to play a prominent role in the social and economic activity of the entire ares, acquiring the nickname "dix" or in the plural, "dixes." It is reported that in about 1855' a composer by the name of Dan Emmett wrote a song for a min­ strel group called Bryant's Minstrels. They introduced the number at a perform­ ance in New York City and the opening line was " I wish I wuz in the land of the dixes" . . . several months later the song reached New Orleans and enjoyed immediate popul­ arity ... by then the word "dixes" was corrupted to "dixie" and almost over­ night the whole South­ land had a nickname that still lives today, 125 years later.
