The American Legion auxiliary reports that wearing a poppy on Poppy day will honor more than half-million Americans who died and the nearly one-million wounded during both world wars, the Korean, war and Vietnam conflict. / Most of the funds derived from the sale of the poppies remain in the community in which they are obtained and the funds are used for Child Welfare and Rehabilitation of Veterans and-or members of their families The memorial poppy is made by the hospitalized veterans in Illinois and the materials are supplied free of charge to the veterans in various veterans' administration hospitals and others. In addition to the therapeutic value of such a project, they are able to receive monetary benefits also. Manufacturing poppies aids the veterans both financially and psychologically. They are paid for the work they do. and the job itself is a relief from the long hours spent in a hospital ward. For many it is the only to be made, each for a three- year term.

The little red Poppy as a memorial flower of American war dead is a tradition which began in the years following the first World war. Veterans returning to their homes in the country remembered the wild poppies wbich lined the devastated battlefields of France and Flanders. The soldiers of all nations came to look upon this flower as a living symbol of their dead comrades' sacrifice Mrs. Glen (Dottie) Messer is Poppy chairman for the McHenry American Legion auxiliary and has organized a number of the members into volunteer teams to present the poppies to the public in the business sections of McHenry. She asks cooperation of the citizens to support this project as the donations go directly to aid the disabled veterans or their families. Donations of any size are acceptable and Poppy day offers the American public an opportunity to honor the war dead and assist the living.

It's a fact. If you don't believe it spend just one full day with your child's teachers. And if you don't believe it is a demanding job, consider having some thirty youngsters delivered to your home tomorrow morning to spend all day with you. You're the teacher! This is what could happen: in some instances the young people have been told you are incompetent and don't care. They may react accordingly. If you discipline them too harshly you may find yourself in court or lose your job. If you don't, you may lose your job for being too lenient. Some of your "students" are eager to learn but many could care less. Their parents tell you to teach them not only the basic skills requir­ ed in a technological society but honesty, integrity, morality, and thrift. They may forget to mention that the "CB" they bought last Chr|stmas (on credit) was to help spot "Smokey the Bear" so they could exceed the speed limit (without being caught). If you survive the day you'll be releived, to say the least when the buses come to take them home. We are all human - teachers included. If a community, and in particular individual parents, will support the efforts of their . teachers, ad­ ministrators, and school boards they can have excellent schools. There will be disagreements, labor disputes, tensions, and honest dif­ ferences of opinion but these disputes are best arbitrated at the council table, not the dinner table. Undermine your child's confidence in his teacher and his school with criticism and disdain and . you may do irreparable damage to your child and his or her ability to accept the guidance of' any teacher in the complex process called education. If you are concerned about your youngster's progress in school make an appointment and visit his or her teacher. But don't expect more of the school than you are willing to expect of yourself. If you won't discipline your child, the school can't make up for that deficiency. If you won't help him in his efforts to learn, the school can't succeed alone. And if you don't love your child, and show it, the teacher can't possibly make up for that void. For your child's sake, be a partner with ypur child's teacher. Start by sending a note of appreciation - today! Together you'll make an un­ beatable team. Marian Announces Cast For "Bye Bye Birdie" FLEA MARKET The Young Single Adults club of St. Thomas parish.
