POET'S CORNER MY FRIEND (by Maria Heiser) They walked together, side by side, right into that battlefield. They knew each other, since they were a child and shared together room and meal.... They were not just friends who came from the same home. They were more like brothers, always together and never one alone. When they were called to enter the war they followed together... to go to a strange country which was away - so far - There they fulfilled their duty dressed in uniform / but still they made plans for the future which waited for them, back home. Then suddenly one shot - ended one life and one friend stood there - all alone - The pain was so great the sorrow so deep he had no more tears, which he could weep. His best friend fell down onto the ground like a tree... and one loud scream hallowed thru the field "Why God - why not also me". Soon they carried his friend away and slowly he walked behind. The battle, the war was over for him and peace - he thought - he could never find... Now the war is over in that far away land and every young man is coming back home. also this young man is leaving that foreign land but without his best friend, just alone. He must learn that life goes on even after so deep sorrow and pain He knows thousands of men gave their lives and died with that hope that peace will come again. And now he is standing right by his grave praying for his friend... who lost his life in that war, so brave... "I know my own future lies still ahead of me and I should be thankful, to God that I am well, home and free..." "But the memory of my best friend will go with me, wherever 1 may be... until my own life someday shall come to an end and we will meet again and there will be peace... This 40 & 8 locomotive is the pride of the Voiture, was constructed by them, and has been seen in many parades this past year. This past summer many children had the privilege of riding on this locomotive in an event held on the city square at Woodstock. The Voiture and Cabane, though small in number, in the past years certainly have done a creditable job in promoting various projects, mainly the 40 & 8 nurse scholarship program. Forty-four student nurses have received 40 & 8 assistance over the past years in McHenry county. It is hoped that a good turnout of members will be on hand for this visit to Wingate school. Members are now making or collecting soft toys, baby toys, new and used children's clothing, crib blankets or sheets, and other articles for the children.

The drive's progress will be reported regularly in the auxiliary national magazine.

Women Of The Moose Green Beanie night was held at the last meeting of the WOTM, Chapter 1348, McHenry. Honored in the ceremony was Green Beanie Eleanor Haerle, who received her cap from Carolyn Sima at an impressive ceremony held at the State Moose convention in Peoria last fall. After the meeting was opened by Senior Regent Greta Rother, the gavel was turned over to Eileen Hodgson, who presented Mrs. Haerle with a corsage. She gave a brief resume of the steps on the way to Green Beanie. * Eleanor became a member of the WOTM in December, 1965, and was appointed Mooseheart chairman in 1966. In 1967 she served as sentinel and in 1968 was elected chaplain. She acted as Academv of Friendship executive director, Sam Story, has learned the minimum amount of coupons needed will be 6,000,000 and a maximum amount of coupons 8,000,000. Each coupon will be worth one- half cent. "The fire crew and the Junior Girls' unit at the V.F.W. National home, along with the rest of us here, are extremely excited over the possibility of receiving a new fire truck," stated Mr. Story. He added "we are concerned that our Seagraves pumper is becoming somewhat unreliable, and everyone knows that the first order of the day for any piece of fire fighting equipment is reliability." Local persons interested in the coupon program are asked to contact Mrs. Walter F. (Gerry) Kuck. The president of the Department of Illinois Ladies auxiliary, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Mrs. Arthur (Fran) Roche of Chicago, urges each auxiliary, and Junior girls' unit in the state of Illinois to join in this project by saving the coupons and sending them to the Junior girls' unit at the National home. Mrs. Roche said, "This is a monumental task these girls have assumed, and it behooves each of us as auxiliary members, to do what we can to help them reach their goal". The Ladies auxiliary to V.F.W. Post 4600 in McHenry is urging not only members but anyone who cares to help on this project to either mail the coupons to the National home or bring them to the V.F.W. post, where the coupons may be deposited. -I GASTHAUS LORELEI Finest German Foods Cocktails Rts. 12 & 31 Richmond, III.
