tfr m. i 4teor»tary of State Charles P. Carpentiar has hailed the conviction of five former employees flfc his office by a Oook county Criminal court on charges of -malfeasance in connection with , the "sale" of drivers licenses' as an example of the kind of cooperation which results in effi- • ctetnt law enforcement.' • -. Irregularities in the required examination procedures for drivers licenses were discovered a, year ago by Secretary Carpenter, who presented the evidence to Cook County State's Attorney John Gutknecht. On prosecution by Gutknecht, the five pleaded guilty to accepting "gratuities" for not enforcing, examination requirements of the Drivers .. License LAW, and were convicted 4. March 9 in appearances before Judge Walter Butler of Cook " County. ;s f "Through the cooperation of an administrative office, an enforcement office and the court, these individuals who enticed unsuspecting and normally lawabiding citizens into evasion of the Drivers License Law were hmought to justice," Mr. Carpentter said. "Our Drivers License Law was «nacted in the hope it would save lives on our highways," Secretary Carpentier said. "Apparently it is fulfilling that hope, because there were 132 fewer jr traffic deaths in our state dur« ilig- 1954 than there were in $53. % "If it is to continue accom- ^ plishlng that purpose, we cannot ait any level, countenance evasion, whether deliberate or merely as a result of siip-ahod practices," Mr. Carpenitier declared. 'Lives ane at stake."

Grec Lake Despite the bad weather, quite a group of women turned out for our Munch meeting. A report by Mrs. Nick Miller informed us that Elgin hospital had: a few hours of entertainment by Alice Barbiam, who played for the hospitalized veterans there. Others who accompanied Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Barbian were Frances Matchen, unit president, and Mary Neuman. Dorothea Miller (daughter ot the Chuck 'Millers) played far the vets at Downey hospital at the last party given there by our unit. Child Welfare Solutions to <the nation's child welfare problems which are mounting in seriousness as the child population increases will be sought through the newly established Child Welfare foundation of the American Legion. The auxiliary is raising $50,000 to contribute to the foundation aa 'a special national project for 1955. This fund is coming from the auxiliary's 14,000 local units throughout the country, with no public appeal being made. Another child welfare program of 'the auxiliary's deals with the problems of retarded children. It is surprising to learn that there aire 'ten times as many children in this class as there are polio victims. Authorities tell us ithat there are 300 mentally retarded children born in our nation every day. Hope lies in the fact that much can be done to improve the condition of these children and the auxiliary wil) help. Patriotic Conference On March 24, the 'American Legion auxiliary held~ its annual Statewide Patriotic conference at the Morrison hotel in Chicago. McHenry unit was well represented by Frances Matchen, Matrge Mikota, Delia Freund and Marie Schaettgen. Minnie Green and Christine Krimn represented the eleventh division'. Mrs. Omar McMackin, Illinois president of the auxiliary, presided over the meeting of 1,100 women and a few men guests. JiVing Breakstone, Illinois commander, was there, as Were other officers of the Legion and some representatives of the government. The conference theme was "Woman power behind man power for national security. The serious speaker of the day was Henry A. . DuFlon, who spoke at length about the need for a change in our reservists' program. He advocated a more attractive recruiting program Which would offer drill pay and retirement benefits. He . added that .there la a shortage of en listed men and more than 80 per cent are hearing the age when thfey would be too old for war service in a few, yeairs. An other point he stressed was that it takes more than two years -- which i» lertgth of service of ixsliti specially ja maftyjleld#, therefore #pe«ali»ed traw^ inuat, of necessity, •. b* ftvmto note of longer enltetmemt periods. He also informed oi that these problems were being studied by the Senate at the present time. ' Maj. Allen Friedman, ground observer oo-ordinattir for Illinois, warned of theneed for adequate observation poets. He urged, all to cooperate. In the event of attack, we were tolid, most of the defense organization would be needed in the area of the target. The fringe areas must be prepared to handle such things as fixes which would inevitably develop many miles from the actual explosion, render first aid and provide home shelters. Everyone should be taught how to put out a home fire and give first aid. Home shelters will give a great degree of protection and save many lives. In t|he target area the best plan is evacuation. Shelters may be windowless basement rooms or cyclone cellars dug underground with at least 3 feet of earth above them. These shelters should be supplied with food, water, medical supplies and "facilities" for three days. MYF News Our group was Invited to Wauconda last Sunday night for a box social and square dance.
