American Legion Celebrates 75 Years
By Joe Schaller, Chairman of the Birthday Dinner
This year marks the 75th Diamond Jubilee of the American Legion. The Huntley Legion Post #673 was organized in 1922, as well as the Huntley Legion Auxiliary.
The Huntley Legion Post held their Birthday Dinner and Awards Night on March 26. Members attending the dinner of the Legion and Auxiliary came from Mtn. Home, AK; East Troy, WI; Chicago; Woodstock; Carpentersville; Crystal Lake; Hampshire; and Huntley. All enjoyed a delicious chicken dinner and birthday cake.
Commander Hardy and Adj. Glissendorf led the program. Jr. Auxiliary members Amanda Yerke sang the "Star Spangled Banner" and Keli Platek sang "Happy Birthday" to all.
Membership awards were given
to attending Legion members, Billy Graham, 10 years; Wayne
Donahue, 20 years; Ralph Drafall, 35 years; Etta Frost, 40 years; Eugene Jensen, 45 years; and Wendell Weltzien, 50 years. Membership awards went to Auxiliary members, Carol Barton, 10 years; Molly Viita, 15 years; Eleanor Robinson. 25 years; Betty Zirk, 25 years; Fran Fox, 30 years; and Bessie Piske, 45 years.
May Chesak played the ivories while all sang patriotic songs from World War I to the present.
I want to thank the Huntley Jaycees who set up the food, served the cake and cleaned up. Also, thanks to Amanda Yerke and Keli Platek for their beautiful voices. A special thanks to Arlene Mattingly, Bob and Betty Zirk and Dorothy Schaller for setting up the post hall.

Chamber Plans To Clean Sweep Huntley
By Dr. William Awe, Clean Sweep Chairman
Spring is here and it's time to get our town in shape and looking good again! Huntley Chamber's Clean - Sweep project is only a few weeks away and here are the details you need to know to help make our town beautiful!
On Saturday, April 16, 9am to 12 noon, we will begin the morning by meeting at Deicke ¦ Park to divide into teams and explain procedures. Our goals are to divide Huntl^ into 4 quadrants - beginning at the outer edges and working towards the town center to our collection site. Four team leaders will monitor and guide their groups along various streets towards the Town Square. Once all teams
arrive around noon - Mayor Dhamer will dedicate the day with a brief ceremony.
This is a pilot program, therefore we will need a lol of cooperation and participa¬ tion from all of our
volunteers. Since we have many youth groups partici¬ pating in this project - we will need adequate adult supervision and guidance. Anyone can join in and help. From picking up trash to driving team vehicles to supervising the kids by the roads - many hands and eyes are needed to make this event a safe success.
Four volunteers are needed to be team leaders. These individuals will meet their team on Saturday morning. The teams may consist of members of your organization or a mix of volunteers. We also need four pick-up trucks and drivers to carry our volun¬ teers and collections down the street. All volunteers should wear protective work gloves and may want to.bring a trash poker, broom, or rake to use during the morning. Leaders' positions need to
be filled by April 11. 1994.
If someone in your organiza¬ tion would like to be a leader please contact me as soon as possible. We will have a brief meeting before the event at 8:30am to discuss specifics.
A collection dumpster and trash bags are being donated by Marengo Disposal Co. - Mr. Hank DeBoer. We would like to thank them in advance for their help!
Of 20 groups contacted - 16 have already expressed interest and pledged support of the Clean-Sweep Project! If your group needs more information or a presentation at a meeting - I will be happy to serve your needs. This may truly become a whole community effort - but only if you join us too. A clean town shows pride and honor. Everyone will benefit from a few hours work on Saturday morning. We hope to see you
