In order to serve McHenry area brides, the Plaindealer mails wedding forms to all whose engagements have been announced in the paper and carry a definite date. We ask that these completed forms be returned three days before the wedding. The story containing all the information given on the form will appear only during the week following the wedding, except in the case of out-of-state weddings, where an additional week is allowed. Forms received the second week after the wedding will be prin­ ted with the omission of a description of the attire worn. Photographs will be printed any time later, or will be included with the wedding information if they accompany the story at the prescribed deadline. If your engagement announcement has not been published, or if the date of the wedding was not known at that time, please call our office and request that a marriage form be sent. Space problems experienced by a non-daily newspaper, and a desire to print up-to-date news, make this policy necessary. Charlotte Dougherty says: "II0ST74LBS.

After the advancement of the flags, singing "Star Spangled Banner", led at the piano by Music chairman Maria Guettler, and in­ vocation given by Midge Scharf, in the absence of Chaplain Doris Henken, the February meeting was called to order by President Dorothy Messer. There was no meeting in January. The charter was draped for departed members Lenora Cooley and Julia Varese, by Midge Scharf and Ruth Mrachek. Special appreciation was extended from President Messer to those who donated canned goods and money for the Christmas baskets for 20 needy families.

A bulletin from Depart­ ment Chaplain Kinga Gulczynski to promote the Cathedral Window fund and the history of the Washington Cathedral in Washington, DC. was read. Wherever one lives in the U.S., whatever religion or race, the cathedral is part of everyone's heritage. Each year, a half million people from all over the world visit this "House of Prayer for all People". George Washington had made the basic plan for "a great church for national purposes in the capital city", Congress finally granted a special charter in 1893, and the first portion of the great cathedral was opened in 1907. Since then, there has been continuous con­ struction. This beautiful 14th century Gothic-styled cathedral has stained glass windows depicting new and old testament stories; a "Freedom Window" in honor of all armed forces who died for freedom in 1917- 18; a "Statemen's Window" depicting Thomas Jefferson and James Madison; "America the Beautiful Windows"; and a "Space Window", to name a few. The national president has accepted a very special offer and invitation for the auxiliary to sponsor the "Suffering and Purification Window". This window will depict the figure of Job and perhaps also the anonymous suffering servant figure of Isaiah's prophesy and Psalm 22. It will be a most apt memorial for those who have suffered and died for our country. A donation from the unit was made to this fund. Correspondence was read and donations were made to the Seeing Eye Dog and Coupon program. Birthday greetings were extended to Betty Lou Smith and Midge Scharf. Marge Hartung and Ruth Mrachek were winners of prizes and Margaret Birmingham was not present to receive the attendance prize. Maria Guettler led the members in singing "America the Beautiful". Katie Edstrom was refresh­ ment chairman for this meeting. Marge Hartung will be the refreshment chairman for the March meeting.
