' T it-y y *'-•*. ;*r-^§^ Page ]%re iOTJHTy PINO PONG K TdUItNAMENT SUNDAY - -The second annual McHenry County Ping Pong tournament will take place Spnday afternoon at the Paddle club In Woodstock. A large entry is expected as the past year has witnessed Offer spreading activity in this much Ifvived sport. The Woodstock club will again be the host, but this year's events will be held in the club rooms located in the old Wien'a store building instead of at St- Mary's gymnasium, where last year's initial tournament was held. A special feature will prove*to be a very popular attraction. Two youngsters of fourteen or thereabouts will play a match and will ltH£n team up to take on the best doubles team that .the county cSan produce. These lads are very small in stature, but their ability to get around arjl manipulate the paddles is astounding. Speed anl -- accuracy are their chief assets, but they can also "kill" them with the best. A1 Gunther and Warren FergUr soh arc! the wee lads, if names mean .anything, and the Woodstock club has gone to no small expense to get them out. Each of them hold a title in the Junior division of the state and they paired up together in the finals of the Senior division to go to the runerap .• position. „ - The setup for thia year's event will be somewhat different than ever before. The entry will be divided into four classes. Class A, Class B, Class C and boginnerst. The beginners will play each other and the winners will meet the Class C men. Then the winners of those matches will meet the • Class B and so on. In this manner ! each man is assured of meeting a man | of his own calibre in his first match. | If he wins tfhen he is adjudged good j "enough to play a member of the next j best class. This eliminates any chance j of a fir?'t flight player being bored by having to play a beginner in the <i*st round. McHenry will have an entry in the tournament, but just how large it will be is yet to be determined. Last year five or six players went over but none went very far. A recent revival of interest should produce at least half a dozen entrants with maybe more. "A women's division is also being planned and McHenry has at least two entrants that should ffo far in this ranlf. _ B® Sc<a> How many Scouts are going on the hike, Saturday ? There are two or three tests you Tenderfoot Scouts can pass out at Sherman's hill and best of all some games are on the schedule. I am, for one, wondering what the games are, although I have a slight idea- Remember the hints the Scoutmaster gave you, and above all, be present. We will meet at the grade fchool Saturday at 10 o' clock,. The Scoutmaster started off. the meeting with some familiar Sco"ut songs, "It Isn't Any Trouble" and "There Was a Little Ford." The latter having about fifteen verses, so you BACON'S STRIP vi By t* "ZEKE" BACON V-- it won t oe long now! The baseball teams are hard! at work out on the western coast in their California training,, camps and the reports that are drifting back certainly give one the feeling that spring isn't* far off.

Louis and.

Sure, they can take yp golf later, but if they have that earlier training they can step right into the' world and meet their business associates on the same level without having to waste valuable time picking up the rudiments of the game. Sounds like rather a sane idea. Blink Water With Meals Good For the Stomach Water with meals helps stomach juices, aids digestion. If bloated with gas add a spoonful of Adlerika.

When I say favorite, you ought to know that it's volleyball. Not one minute of rest was seen throughout the game. The boys were in four teams, ones, two, threes, and fours- The ones and threes played and the ones were victors. Twos and four.s fought a long seige until the foiu-s came out on the winning end. Then the contest of champions came. The ones got a good lead but up came the fours to rally within two point?, cf the former. But this energy was exhausted as the ones came out of their slump to win by a few points. Talk about visitors, we sure had them at the meeting. There were Mr. Althoff, chairman of the Local Scout troop, members of the Scout Board of MeHem-y, Mr. Krause, Mr. MoGee and Mr. Granger. Also A. J. Wirtz, Eagle Scout and former Assistant Scoutmaster Howard Ensign were presert. The gang all think that it certainly is a boost for our troop to have all the.^e men attend our meeting and I know that the troop would like to have any of these men drop in, anytime.

M'HENRY LOSES TO HARVARD McHenry lost to Harvard last night in the District Basketball tournament, 44 to 22. Several of the McHenry team went out on fouls. Elgin defeated Plato Center and Crystal Lake lost to Woodstock. This last game was a see-saw of points from start to finish with the last quarter a thriller in itself- McHenry had quite a bowling match with Bill Geister's gang last Sunday which was won by the visitors, evening the series at one all. Geisters won the first game by 31 pins, but McHenry came back and rolled 966 for the high game of the evening ,to regain 23 pins, leaving the deficit at 8. In the third and last game both teams seemed to crack a wee bit, but Geisters managed to pick up three more to win by the huge margin of 11 stubborn maples. Next Sunday Elgin will invade the McHenry alleys for a return engagement. Elgin defeated McHenry at Elgin a few weeks ago and the local boys are out for revenge. The Old Timer? League has partially disbanded for the remainder of the Reason, but some of the members are going xto carry on and have enlisted the services of some of the other bowlers to fill out the teams.

Schaefer 201 * Hank Weber .... 170 "Save the schools now," advises Dr. j Ed Smith ............ 170 M92 John Dewey, dean of modern educa-1 - ~ tors, in an interesting article in that - Mairh if sue of the Good Housekeep- ' Team No. 2 ing Magazine. , Dr. Dewey, more than any Other person, is responsible for shaping education to, tha ways of modern life. A year of education miffed is a year of education lost. A child kept* out of i-achool, or deprived of the proper fiteilities in school, is a child handicapped for life. Consider those facts in relation to theSe other facts; that all over the country the schools are being fotced to close, or to run on part time, of to operate with budget* cut to thfe obhe. • And more children than ever are wanting to go to school. Surely it is zero hour for the American ideal of education. Shall we let the forces of depression close in upon the schools, or, shall we, right now, take advanced ground? Here is a leader who SHys to go ahead, to remember that tomorrow Is more important t|jj(^(Sodiiy. We go; our children go oKF' "The schools are theirs, not ours. "Save the schools, now," advises Dr. Dewey. He goefc on to say that education is a parai#, which, instead of marching to the turte of a national reco'v ery plan, has been left to shift for itself, an4 in ?ome places has been disbanded. Yet the parade of indus trial recovery can move only as the parade of education keeps pace with it and ahead of it. Every successful move in industry, every step forward towards a new day, depends upon a people educated and trained, a people prepared to think and to adjust themselves to pew conditions. The average cost of educating a jchild is $91 a year, of-keeping a man in prison, $300 a year. In cutting down our costs for education we are almost certain to run up our bill for crime. The time seems ripe to urge again a federal ^||M^*tment of education with a sewitary of education in the president's cabinet.
