iThuraday, October 11,1956 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER POST 491 \y • ' * At the regular meeting of American Legion post No. N491, on Monday evening, Oct. 8th'f a program of coihing events was announced that will be greeted with joy by all sports-minded Legionaires. Every member of Post 491 who attends eight' of the next nine regular meetings will be treated to a big league baseball game in Ajrfrly 1957. Members will travel the game by chartered bus. The majority vote. of the members will decide whether the game attended will be at Wrigley field, Sox park or Milwaukee Braves stadilim. It was "further announced that in the case of a meeting being missed, credit for the missed meeting could be made up by attending the post monthly trip to Veterans' hospital at Downey. New members will be eligible for the trip by simply attending each monthly meeting from the time of their joining the post. In addition to the ball game, meeting-attending members will be treated to "surprise" trips which might be to boxing, wrestling, football or basketball events. These worthwhile surprise trips will not be announced to the %iembers by the usual bulletin. The only way to hear of }hem is by attending the regular meetings. Senior Vice-Commander Edwin Reid, who is also the membership chairman, says: "This is the ideal time fop men who are eligible for legion membership to join up. There is nothing like group enjoyment to welcome new memers, make new friends or refew old friendships. This program, added to the monthly entertainment program initiated by Junior vice-commander, Robert Hendricks, is certain to result in an even stronger post than now. An active post, dedicated to the community in which it is located can be pointed to with jnivit? pride. McHenry post has decided to be second to none and is go- Jpig all-out to accomplish this *oal." On Friday evening, Oct. 5, American Legion - sponsored Boy Scout troop 162 held an Eagle court of honor at the high school cafeteria, at which time Scout Jim Kirk received scouting's highest award, the Eagle award, in a very colorful ceremony.
