Friday is Poppy Day
Elsewhere in this issue is a proc¬ lamation by the Mayor designat¬ ing Friday, the 22nd day as Pop¬ py Day. Though to many of you no explanation is necessary, yet we should again like to remind you that this is one way in which you can show your thanks and generosity to the men who fought and made our present form of life in these United States possible. Do not look upon Poppy Day as just "another collection." Rather look at it as a chance to re¬ pay others for what they have done for you. Think of yourself; healthy, happy, working, free to come and go, enjoying the pleas¬ ures of life in your own ways. Then think of the many men w^ho no longer can do these things' be¬ cause of sickness, because of not having both arms or both legs, lying in hospitals paying daily for democracy as we know it still pos¬ sible.
These are the men who make these poppies^Therefore, acoefA this as a c'^^e to say "thank you" and maW your contributicHi as big as posslUe

Jaycees to Hold Car Wash
Since the first meeting of the Huntley JayXiee* much ha* been done to see that the organization gets a good and firm start In help¬ ing the town In civic affairs. In order to establish the Jay-Cees, we not only need the cooperation of the members but also the com¬ munity Itself.
We, the members of the Jay¬ Cees, have been meeting weekly to make sure we wlll establish a firm footing. We have takled over many community projects that we feel and are certain the community themselves feel will be beneficial too them.
To b able to promote our thou¬ ghts and planning, we need fln- anlcal help to affirm an origanizat¬ ion that will establish firm roots in the community. In trying to ob¬ tain this aid, we have planned our first project, which we hope wlll be backed by the community.
This coming weekend, Saturday and Sunday, the Huntley Jay^Cses are sponsoring a car wash to be held at the now vacant Ford gar¬ age on iMaIn Street. On Saturday, the time will b« from 8:00 A.M. to 5:30 P.M., Sunday from 8:00 A.M. to  1:00 P.M.
When you stop In to have your car washed, ask anyone of the laborous members, who are Inter¬ ested in the community, facts about the Jay.Cees which you would be Interested In.
Again let me oolnt out In saying that In Oder to be a success, a Jay-Cee organization needs more than mony, manpower or even Ideaa More important than all of these is a sincere desire to serve tha community. The Junior Chamber of Commerce that plans Its pro¬ gram on the basis of community needs wlll succeed In every area of activity from •ollcttlng financial support to providing of leadership thalning experiences to Its m«*n- bers, which we are sure this chap¬ ter will do.
We expect to see you Saturday or Sunday to help u« Mrdve you.
