Excerpted from The St. Charles Chronicle Wednesday, April 4,1962:
Throughout the decades, Post 342 has provided financial support for issues relating to children: health and safety, foreign exchange, Boy Scouts of America Council, School for Gifted/Exceptional children, childrens charities, donating to local hospital and community funds as well as nation-wide oprganizations such as the Heart Association, Easter Seals, American Red Cross, American Field Service and Polio Fund. The local Boy Scout Troop 1 has been sponsored since 1933. Junior League Baseball sponsorship began in the 1930's, providing boys from age 16 to 18 an opportunity to play baseball in the Kane County League. " Through the years, 270 boys have played on our teams in St. Charles, and each has become a good American Citizen."
