Every time there is a fund- raising drive, people quite naturally ask that question. Contributions made in the American Legion Poppy Day distribution on Saturday, May 20, this year is used to help the needy Disabled Veterans and their families in Illinois. The funds are raised by our contributions and by your neighbors who volunteer their time as members of the American Legion and The American Legion Auxiliary to distribute poppies. These poppy "Salesmen and Saleswomen", who are joined by volunteers from the public, donate their tiifie. Part of the funds are used to take care of the everyday comforts and provisions. They are insurance against any hospitalized veteran having the demoralizing experience of "Being Forgotten." These funds also provide resources for temporary relief work among immediate members of the Disabled Veteran's family, including such basic items as food, rent, or medical ex­ penses. It gives the hospitalized veteran the morale-building assurance that his wife and children will get the care they need immediately in an emergency situation. The job of assembling the porunity for the disabled veteran to receive r e m u n e r a t i o n w h i l e hospitalized. The Legion pays the men for poppies they make. For many of the veterans, it is the only chance they have to earn funds for their families. NEWLYWEDS Best wishes to newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Robert T.

Did we have a terrific, successful response to the "Family Service and Mental Health Clinic" tag day, Saturday, May 6. You people of Wonder Lake are beautiful, (and generous.) You all con­ tributed to the amount of $368, which is something to be proud of. Every P.T.A. member I asked to help, did so very cheerfully (even after they knew what I wanted returned my call to say "yes".) So if you allow me, I would like to say "thanks" to: Gloria Coughlin, Julie Coughlin, Joanne Evans, Phyllis Schuster, Pat Seeber, Delores McMillan, Amy Street, Lorraine Heley, Mary 4pne Ahem, Marilyn McMahon, Therese Jinga, Joyce Brink- man, Cathy Matesi, Debbie Parker, Jo Hansen, Judy Grauman - and all these ladies in turn say "thanks" to you because they really put their lives in your hands, standing in the middle of the road jingling the donation cans. Most all of you were very courteous and we appreciate and thank you. Even the Good Lord cooperated. We worked until 3 p.m. and it started to rain at 3:15 p.m. Wonder Lake and its people are pretty great. Mary Ruggero, chairman. GIRL SCOUT NEWS KACHINA NEIGHBORHOOD Lucy Coleman Brownie Troop No. 419 welcomed the first days of beautiful spring weather by donning old clothes and spending one of their meetings going on a hike. Mrs. Ralph Harney and Mrs. Ray Bujak, Leaders of the Troop, led the Scouts along the creek on Larsen's farm next to Harrison school. As expected, most of the girls got wet and muddy shoes from their hops across the water. The only casualty of the day was Laura Doyle who tangled with a briar bush - and lost. April Williams and Robin Blummel demonstrated how to start an A type fire over which the girls then enjoyed a mar- shmallow roast. Using dirt from the field, the Scouts planted some marigolds in oleo tub6. Paula Harney was first in line for the green thumb award when her seeds sprouted in just two days! A peek into Betsy Ross' parlour for an imaginary view of how our first flag might have been designed and poor Mother Nature's plight with pollution of all kinds were the themes of the two plays presented by Junior Girl Scout Troop No. 435 at their Darent night party last Saturday. "A New Nation's Stars and Stripes" featured Sandi Schau, Patty Coleman, Lynn Raske, Debbie Wenk and Debbie Maris. Mother Nature and her friends were Veronica Kerkes, Julie Huff, Connie Horn, Julie Bright, Mary Gibbons, Sharon Schau, Bar­ bara Seeber, La Donna Walker, Marilyn Lehr, Donna Berlin, Destinee Fruscella, Mary LeBrecht and Debbie Mercer. Follwing the plays, the girls were awarded their troop dramatics badges by their leaders, Mrs. Margery Bright and Mrs. Lucy Coleman. Ad­ ditional earned badges were awarded to Julie Huff, Patty Coleman, LaDonna Walker, Debbie Wenk, Lynn Raske and Donna Berlin. Debbie Mercer was welcomed as the newest member of the troop and presented with the Troop 435 crest, while the Scouts preparing to leave the Troop and "fly-up" to Cadette Scouting in the fall - Julie Bright, Sandi Schau, Debbie Wenk, and Veronica Kerkes - were presented their Cadette Cockades as tokens of best wishes and good luck from their fellow troop members. Suspense mounted as the Troop made some surprise presentations.. Troop Com­ mittee Mothers, Mrs. Don Huff and Mrs. Gene Maris, received special Girl Scout Friendship pins, as did other "special friends" of Troop 435, Mrs. Charles LeBrecht, Troop Cookie Chairman, and Mrs. Lowell Walker and Mrs. Gerald Raske, who helped»with the plays. A special thank-you went to Mr. Walker and Mr. Bright for scenery and stage help. A loud cheer of approval went up from the girls as Robert Bright accepted a check from the Troop for the Harrison school bleacher and stage fund. The girls had voted to give a part of their Troop Cookie Sales profit to help their school. Turn about was fair play, as the girls really surprised their assistant leader, Mrs. Lucy Coleman, with a gift of a camp mess kit and cutlery. A red faced Mrs. Coleman promised the kit would get plenty of use beginning with Core Camp this summer. Twice Told Tales FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 26, 1932) The annual concert of the McHenry high school band was given on the school grounds Friday evening, May 21. This was the first outdoor contest to be given by the band. Probably more people heard the band play at this concert than ever before for a large crowd was present on the grounds where chairs and benches were arranged. The directors of the band were W.N. Sears and Miss Mildred Minnich. Henry M. Stephenson of Ringwood at the present time has a bed of tulips which is too beautiful for words. This bed is a mass of bright hued blooms, 1500 in number about eighteen varieties. Several shades from a bright scarlet to a delicate rose pink, from a deep bronze to a clear yellow and from several shades of red to a lavender and other lovely shades. The graves will be decorated again on Memorial Day of those brave soldiers who gave their lives for their country in the Civil, Spanish American and World Wars. Among them will be a grave in Woodland cemetery where a marble stone marks the last resting place of Clinton Rorer, son of Mrs. Samantha Button of this city. Mrs. Button, who was 100 years dd last December has the distinction of being the oldest Civil War mother. The McHenry high school girls tennis team won their annual match with Crystal Lake's fair sex by taking all four matches. Mildred Thompson and Wanda Smith won their singles events only after being forced to the limit of three sets. Arleen Bacon and Frances Hughes won in the other doubles match of the day. This is the first major meet ever to be won by the local girls. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 29, 1947) Seldom if ever has a more appreciative audience been present in the McHenry high school auditorium to witness a performance that assembled last Friday evening to hear the first concert of the newly formed McHenry Choral club. Their desire for a varied program seemed to be fulfilled completely if their hearty applause was any indication of their enjoyment. Mrs. Elizabeth Brand of McCullom Lake was guest of honor at a party held in her honor on the occasion of her birthday anniversary this week. Edward Parfrey of Spring Grove, a senior in the McHenry community high school, has been accepted as a "regular" officer candidate to the Naval Reserve officer training corps for which he took written examination in Waukegan, Jan. 17, followed by ' physical examinations, interviews and aptitude tests in Chicago March 8. Charles Peet, a lifelong resident of Ringwood com­ munity, passed away at his home May 27, following a brief illness. He was 65 years of age. Local members of the F.H.A. are very proud of their record in winning a first place and blue ribbon for submitting the best scrap book on their activities of the past year at the district contest. Local judges being Miss May Justen and Josephine Guercio. Louise Johnson elected president of the club for next year will take the scrap book with her when she attends the Illinois Leadership training conference at Lake Bloomington, 111., in August. There it will be entered in the state wide contest. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Winter have moved from the upper apartment in the Cecil Ballowe home on Waukegan street to Ringwood. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 31, 1962) A tragic accident took the life of a 7 year old Wonder Lake boy, David John Etten, Friday afternoon, May 25. As the child was enroute home he was struck by a truck. Firemen of Company 2 at Johnsburg were called to the Clarence Wilkerson home at River Terrace, McHenry, Sunday night to extinguish a fire which was gaining head­ way within the walls of the bathroom. A short circuit in the wiring was blamed for the blaze. There are 227 graduates who will be participating in this forty-second annual com­ mencement exercises, a record high on June 6. Ina Lee Gem will be featured in the organ processional, followed by an introduction to the program by M.L. Schoenholtz, assistant superintendent of schools. The main address of the evening will be given by Martin H. Bartels. Theodore H. Beahler of Sunset Drive, McHenry, retired recently from Commonwealth Edison company after 21 years of service. He started in 1941 as a painter in the service buildings department. Since 1961 he has been an electrical mechanic at the Chicago North division. Village trustee and founder of the local library, Mr: Beahler is president of the McHenry Library association. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold E. Walter was christened David Paul in a baptismal service which took place at Zion Evangelical Lutheran church, May 27, with Rev. Carl A. Lobitz officiating. LICENSE COLLECTIONS Secretary of State John W. Lewis has reported that more than $400,000 in overdue truck license installment fees have been collected, marking the earliest date of full recovery ever effected by the office. Secretary Lewis explained "trucking companies are permitted by law to make two installment payments on their license registrations with a surety bond posted to guarantee payment of the second installment, due an­ nually on Jan. 1. Please Do! "Dear Editor," wrote the anxious correspondent, "I am in love with a very nome- ly girl, while a very pretty girl with lots of money wants me to marry her. What shall I do?" The editor replied: "By all means marry the one you love, and send me the name and address of the other." TELEVISION EXPERT - Ken Putnam is shown televising visitors on monitor television at the McHenry Commerce and Industry exposition which was held at Parkland school May 6 and 7. School District 15 was pleased to be a part of this activity. The administration in District 15 feels that schools have an obligation to the community and must take opportunities, such as the fair, to display school equipment which assists in educating the community's young people. For the most part, youngsters operated what is considered sophisticated equipment during the length of the fair and only required minimal assistance to keep four machines in full operation. The theme was "Con­ tinuity with Progress", which was illustrated by a chain symbol, upper left, "Past", "Present" and "Future". To the viewers' left (not shown) were numerous books, including an old McGuffey Reader and an old Bible which were meant to represent learning in the past; the present was portrayed by popular books and the surrounding equipment; and the future was represented by sophisticated reading equipment and thoughts left to the viewers' imaginations.
