PAGE 10 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY. MAY 21. 1975 Wonder Lake Mary Jean Huff 728-0267 Legion, Auxiliary , Poppy Day Planned Saturday, May 24 The American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary, Department of Illinois, have officially designated Saturday, May 24, as Illinois American Legion Poppy Day. Samuel J. White, Chairman of the Legion's State Poppy Commission, stated that this marks the fifty-second con­ secutive year that the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary Units have engaged in the sale of poppies in Illinois. Every poppy that has been sold during this period has been assembled by hospitalized veterans within the State of Illinois. In 1974, one and a half million poppies were sold in Illinois and hospitalized veterans received over $16,487.00 for assembling them. Proceeds from poppy sales are used for the service and relief funds of both The American Legion on the state level and the local post or unit in the many cities and towns throughout Illinois. The rehabilitation program of the American Legion is charged with the responsibility of handling all types of claims and service work. Gratuitous service is furnished veterans, their dependents, and to the public. Records show that the American Legion is the only veterans' organization which maintains such complete service. , The State Poppy Commission noted that during 1974 ap­ proximately 64,327 Veterans' cases were successfully han­ dled by the state rehabilitation office. In addition, the American Legion also provided youth activities, child welfare programs, and employment services. In conclusion, State Com­ mander John B. Mahoney assured the public that poppy proceeds will continue to be spent for the purposes for which they are sold. In view of the needs raised by current conditions, Commander Mahoney expressed the hope that the people of Illinois would be even more generous this year when they buy a poppy made by a hospitalized veteran. The American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary in the State of Illinois work together on the poppy day program. Their slogan this year - "Ring out the Bells Loud and Clear - Wear a Poppy for our Veteran this Year". Much emphasis is placed on this program as the proceeds from the distribution of the American Legion poppy are important to our veterans in the many hospitals throughout the State of Illinois. These small red flowers came into being following the conclusion of World War I and each year given to make their appearance in the days and weeks near Memorial Day. They are made by hospitalized veterans in- Illinois and the proceeds from their distribution remain in the community and are used for service programs of chidren and youth, rehabilitation and service to the veteran and his family. Mrs. Lois Haak, poppy chairman of Vanderstraeten Unit No. 1169 is asking for volunteers to assist her in the distribution of the poppies and hopes that when you hear the question "Won't You Wear A Poppy"? on your street, you will wear it proudly. Those tiny red petals signify your respect for those who have given their lives that we may still enjoy the freedoms we do. Poppy Day in Wonder Lake will be Saturday, May 24. As the years pass, we sometimes forget what we owe to these men and their families. Please wear a poppy proudly in 1975! BIRTHDAYS Happy ninth birthday to Jerry Huhn on May 23. Happy ninth birthday to Beth Ann Williams on May 25. Happy birthday to Catherine Omerzo on May 26. IMPROVE MAILBOXES "Mailbox Improvement Week," a traditional Spring observance which contributes to improved security and ap­ pearance of the nation's nearly 25 million mailboxes, will be held May 19-24 this year, Postmaster Lorraine W. Murphy said today. Held annually, this event has long served as the starting signal for community efforts to repair, repaint and make other improvements to the nation's approximately 25 million rural and suburban curbline-type mailboxes, 2150 of which are served by the Wonder Lake post office. Postmasters in many communities around the country have led civic gropps, the press and municipal governments in the spring campaigns to "spruce up" the mail receptacles often damaged by severe winter weather. "Because more Americans receive their mail today on rural routes than ever before, 'Mailbox Improvement Week' is more important than when first observed generations ago in rural areas and small communities," Postamster Murphy said. Approximately 12,400,000 families are served by about 31,000 rural mail routes. Rural delivery service is now available to all qualified customers living a quarter- mile or more from first, second and third class post offices without city delivery. In the past, customers had to live a half-mile or more from the post office or erect an approved mailbox on the line of travel of the rural carrier in order to receive rural delivery. Growth in the nation's suburbs has increased the numbers of curbline mailboxes served by motorized city delivery carriers. An estimated 36 million customers now receive their mail in such boxes. Rural mail service began way back in 1896. In those days many make-shift receptacles were used as mailboxes. One favorite was a tin can nailed to a tree. Today, manufacturers provide a variety of modern mailbox designs for use with decorative posts in cooperation with the Postal Service. "Customers who prefer other designs than the traditional mailbox may check with me for a list of manufacturers making approved optional designs," Postmaster Murphy said. "I am also authorized to approve custom-made mailboxes when they comply with postal regulations." All postal personnel directly involved in suburban and rural deliveries will cooperate with postal customers in making certain their mailboxes comply with regulations on safety and accessibility, Postmaster Murphy said. HAPPINESS IS-- Happiness is...a drive through the countryside, the simple beauty of a farmer's freshly plowed field, newborn Hereford calves resting con­ tentedly near their mothers, baby lambs, the glory of Mother Nature in springtome. Hap­ piness is...good health. Hap­ piness is...people helping people, the tremendous crowd at the Jack McMillan benefit dance last Saturday night and all those who contributed in some way to the success of the e y e n i n g .

RTN BTL Total Moon Eclipse Safe For Naked Eye Amateur astronomers and moonstruck lovers will be in for a real treat the night of May 24- 25. They will be able to view the first total eclipse of the moon visible from Illinois in more than three years. Unlike a solar eclipse, it is safe to observe a lunar eclipse with the naked eye, according to the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness, an organization devoted to the preservation and protection of eyesight. One should exercise common sense, of course, says Edgar T. Britton, executive director of the society, but under normal conditions there isn't enough reflected light from the moon to harm the eye. A lunar eclipse occurs when the sun, earth, and moon are in such a line that the moon passes through the earth's shadow. The first stages of the eclipse will begin at 9:50 p.m. May 24. The visible effects for most amateur astronomers will begin at midnight when the moon enters the dark shadow of the earth. The total eclipse will last for 90 minutes, from 12:30 a.m. to 1:33 a.m. " Service News Legal Notice 1. Be it hereby known that ROBERT M.ZMICH PROMOTED-Robert M. Zmich, grandson of Mr. G.
