American Legion Auxiliary News McHENRY UNIT NO. 491 By Pearl Cooper Mrs. Dennis (Grace) Latimer, National Security chairman of McHenry Unit, 491, American Legion auxiliary, has quoted National Commander John H. Geiger of the American Legion as stating the Prisoners of War and Servicemen missing in action would be given first priority in the program for this year. What can you as a community do to help bring our boys home? The following is a brief summary of this tragedy along with the plan of the Legion and auxiliary for immediate action: Often called the forgotten men of the Vietnam War, American prisoners of war and American missing in action in Southeast Asia are treated as war criminals and restrained j ilHISMUro?] j i PHILLIPS*! | LIQUOR STORES l • i I I I I •WINDSOR Imported !

Families of nearly 1,600 American ser­ vicemen count out the days in horrible uncertainty and anxiety. Ranging in rank from private to colonel, or Navy captain, more than 1,000 men are missing in action and thought to be captive, to date, during this grim seven years. Only a handful have been set free - seventeen have been released by the Viet Cong, nine by Hanoi. The Geneva con­ ventions, signed by North Vietnam and by 119 other governments, are flagrantly disregarded. Hanoi says our American men are criminals; it will not permit: 1. Inspectioif of prison camps; 2. Iden­ tification of prisoners; 3. Release of the sick and wounded; 4 Proper flow of letters and packages; 5. U.S. prisoners' protection from public abuse. Time is running out for both the prisoner of war and for his family. Will our servicemen be able to endure much longer terrible deprivations of adequate nourishment to soul and body and desecrations of human rights and dignity? What can we do to help? 1. Write letters to two Illinois U.S. Senators: Honorable Charles H. Percy, Senate Office Building, Room 1200, Washington, DC. 20515; and Honorable Adlai Stevenson II, Senate Office Building, Room 107, Washington D C. 20515 and to your individual local Congressman. We suggest that you include something of the following nature: "The POW- MIA is a pressing and crucial issue affecting our American way of life. I would appreciate your views on this matter and activities on their behalf. (signed) Your constituent " 2. We also urge members of the American Legion and American Legion auxiliary and as many other individuals as possible to write letters expressing the desire to secure the release of * these servicemen. Petition lists are acceptable, also, but it is felt that they are not as effective as individual letters written in your own words. The letters may be sent to "Chief Delegate, Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam, Paris Peace Talks, Paris, France"; and to Ton Due Thang, President, Democratic Republic of Vietnam, Hanoi, North Vietnam". (Airmail on both is 20 cents.). Of great value will be your interested contact with the National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in S.E.

Evenings 2020 Rte. 120 Phone 385-7010 -Ample tree parking- by Anne Ashley Q. What is a good way to clean white sidewalls on auto tires? A. Denatured alcohol, to which a small amount of hydrogen peroxide has been added, is an effective cleanser for these tires, removing tar and scuff marks easily. Saturate a rag with the solution and apply to the white sidewalls, let this penetrate for a minute or two, and repeat the application. Then rub the dirt off with a clean, alcohol- dampened cloth. Q. How can I facilitate the job of mending chinaware or glass items? A. If you'll use some modeling clay to hold your chipped pieces together while the mending cement sets, you'll be making your job much easier. Q. How can I remove grease stains from suede jackets, bags, shoes and the like? A. By sponging with a cloth dipped in vinegar. Then, when dry, restore the nap of the suede by brushing with a stiff- bristled brush. Q. How can I remove rust from outside metal fixtures? A. One of the best ways I know is with steel wool dipped in kerosene. Follow by polishing with liquid wax. Q. How can I clean my decorative candles, which have become dingy-looking? A. Wipe them off with a soft cloth dipped in kerosene, and then wrung out. Do this quickly with a smooth, up-and-down motion. Then, with the same Constitution Ave., N.E. Wshington, D.C. 2002, where the volunteer staff, all family members of POW-MIA are doing all things possible to bring about the return of their menfolk. Contributions may be sent there by individuals, as well as by patriotic or civic groups. Some of you may think "my letter won't count", but the more letters they receive the more they are reminded of our concern as Americans for our POW-MIA's. We urge you to join with the members of McHenry Unit 491, in sending your letters. Communicate today! Following is an expression of the general feeling towards our POW-MIA servicemen: AN AMERICAN LEGION PRAYER FOR OUR PRISONERS OF WAR Lord, shelter the prisoners of war in Southeast Asia. Open the hearts and minds of their captors that they may be restored to their homes and loved ones. Each has carried the burden of battle. Each has discharged an obligation of his country. Each has been subjected to hazard, pain and imprisonment beyond the lot of the soldier. O Lord, these gallant men who bear so great a burden must not be forsaken. God of Justice to whom we pray, Thy compassion we beseech; Lift their burden, give them strength and strike the shackles that deny them freedom. motion, reharden the wax with a cloth dipped in cold water. Q. How can I remove the mirror-like shine on the back of a sefge suit? A. Try rubbing with hot vinegar, then sponging with ammonia. Q. How can I clean an oil painting? A. If this is a very valuable painting, a professional job is your best answer. However, if you want to try it yourself, wash it with warm milk and water, rubbing gently and carefully, and then drying without rinsing. Q. How can I prevent nylon cord or twine from fraying at a cut end? A. By heating the end over a small flame. Nylon will melt and the strands will bond into a solid unit. Knots can be kept from working loose by this same treatment. Q. How can I remove kerosene spots from fabrics? A. By scouring the material with turpentine, then with warm water and soap. Q. How can I clean a greasy concrete floor? A. Scatter trisodium phosphate thickly on the floor, then sprinkle on just enough water to dissolve the powdered chemical. Wait an hour or more, then scrub the floor with water. If one treatment fails to PAGE 3-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY/MARCH 10, 1972 eradicate all the stain, keep repeating until success is yours. " Q What can I do about drawers that refuse to work easily and have become stuck because of dampness? A. Apply heat in the form of an electric pad, a runray (in­ fra-red) bulb, or a portable electric iieater. The heat will cause the wood to shrink, and when the swelling goes down, the drawers should work again. Take care, of course, not to scorch the wood. Q How can I remove tar stains from washable fabrics? A Rub some white petroleum jelly over the spot and scrape it off as it discolors. Add more petroleum jelly, and keep scraping until the tar is out. After this, wash the fabric in heavy suds to cleanse the fabric of jelly. Q What suggestions have you on the cleaning of a velvet garment? A If not drastically in need of professional treatment, clean your velvet by first brushing off as much dust as you can, then turning the garment inside out. Hang it in the bathroom while you take a hot shower. After it has steamed in this way, let it dry completely before you handle it again. Q. Is there any way at all in which I can cut down on the fm 1f J • * **** .Jmki MR. AND MRS. JOSEPH S. SCHMITT MARRIED 50 YEARS - Mr. and Mrs. Joseph S. Schmitt of 2118 W.

A. Try keeping it in the refrigerator (if there is room for it there) between wearings. Works real well! Q. How can I make my own solution for cleaning painted walls? A. By combining two ounces of borax, one teaspoon of ammonia, and two quarts of water. You need no soap. Apply with a soft cloth or sponge. Q. How can I most easily remove talcum powder that has spilled on a rug." A. Don't try to sweep it, since that only spreads it. Instead, hold the vacuum cleaner over the powder to draw all the loose particles. Then what is left can be rubbed gently with a damp cloth. Rinse frequently, so the powder that sticks to the cloth will not go back into the rug. Q. Is there anything at all I can do about scorched woolens'7 A. Sometimes these can be made right again if you will wet the spot, then rub dry corn­ starch over it, brushing this off when the article is dry. Q. What can I do when egg whites refuse to beat stiff9 A. Add a teaspoon of cold water and a pinch of salt. Adding a pinch of baking soda while beating also helps, makes it more fluffy, and prevents falling if it must stand for any length of time. Q. How can I forestall the danger of yellowing in white clothing I am storing away? A. Dip a sheet into bluing water, using enough bluing to make the sheet quite blue, then spread over the top of the chest in which the clothes are stored. Q. How can I, if possible, remedy a mirror that has acquired a scratch on the coating on the back? A One usually effective repair can be effected by smoothing a piece of aluminum foil over the back of the mirror, a piece the size of the scratch, then coating this with plain shellac. Q. How can I soften a stif­ fened chamois? A. By soaking it in warm water, with a tablespooon of olive oil. Q. What can I do when I think a freshly-baked cake might stick to the pan and break? A. Hold the pan over a low flame for about five to ten seconds, and then it should come out intact. GLENNA JEANNE OPUULANI EWING PATRICK EUGENE PIERCE ENGAGED - Mr. and Mrs. Frank W.
