Drug •ore PHONE 40 " 108 S. Green St. McHenry, DL to Another hectic time is behind us and we can all relax for awhile. First we had the excitement of a national election and then the press of our thirty-eighth Armistice Day, now called Veterans Day, was upon us. We are bringing up the topic of, election day again for a peculiar reason--the failure of quite a few to display our nation's flag in a dignified and proper manner and in of all places, some of the polling places throughout the township. We had reports of flags being flown so low they actually touched the ground, flags slung between posts so low that small children were playing hide and seek with the flag. At one polling place, the flag was Reported wired to an old soft drink sign. Flags should b£ flown from a flag staff if at all possible, of # sufficient height to be above all people who may pass. If the flag is hung from a wall, the blue union should be to the flag's own right or to ^n observer's left, TTiis holds true whether the flag is hung horizontally or vertically. If you have any doubt as to the proper way to display the flag, a call to the American Legion will answer any of your questions.. Prior to Veterans Day, members of Post 491 and members of our auxiliary were to make our usual first Thursday of the month trip to Downey hospital. We started out on time but got no further than Wilson road, where we ran into the beginning of a heavy fog. Forced to turn back, we returned to McHenry, where fifteen minutes later the very dense fog followed us. Our busy time started Saturday evening, when Post 491 played host to members and neighbors with a dance at the post home. Sunday morning our rifle post commander held a Veterans Day ceremony on the front lawn of the post home. The rifle squad was directed as usual by Drill Master William Soucie. I wonder how many of us have noticed that in any public ceremony the members of the rifle squad are Marjorie Steadman, a junior at R.B.C.H.S., was guest of honor at a surprise party given by her parents in honor of her birthday.

Nacker, a member of our post who took some marvelous pictures of the rifle squad and Governor Stratton during the recent dedication ceremony for the opening of Elm street. At 5 p.m. Sunday the ball really started to roll. Activities started with a cocktail party, followed by a pot-luck supper. The large crowd that attended this party enjoyed themselves to the hilt right up to closing time. Everyone is looking . fopvard to, the next big party. Monday was back to business with our regular post meeting. Following the business portion of the meeting members were treated to timely movies- On hunting and fishing. Not to be outdone, the post treated by setting up free beer for all, withvhot lunch as well. • Neither of these treats Were previously announced, which proves what we, have been telling everyone,. "You never know what you might miss when you don't attend your meetings." We were all pleased to meet several new members at Monday nght's meeting.

You can tell at a gUnc* ... and that's why the Ninety-Percent Test is so important. Adults judge even children (and children judge each other) by what they see. It's true that clothes may create slightly less than 90% of the impression Juniors make, but the test is just as important. Another point to remember: Because children's clothes become so grimy so quickly, it's especially important to have them drycleaned regularly and often. (This kind of care carries a built-in bonus. In addition to looking fresher, drycleaned clothes last longer.) LOCAL CL WE GIVE RED STAMPS 206 So.
