Tom A Jerry * / "SO I HEAR" rOUSTIKCAGC TSAM LOSES HAXDroUOHT COmBST to ALEUTS tAKL WALSH HAPPY NEW YEAR! Dear "Mose": Whenever the start of a column seems hopeless, I write a letter to you. You are such an inspiration! Well, as Confucious or some old geezer once said -- "A journey of a thouatfnd miles starts with the first step." You know, "Mose,*' President Roosevelt and his stepped-up Thanksgiving hasn't a thing on you. Why, every holiday, just as sure as shootin', I know that you are going to start telling me that Monday is Tuesday, Tuesday is Wednesday, etc., etc. You get me all confused . So you can't celebrate with me tills year, eh? The doctor says your old ticker won't stand it. That's all those doctors know. Hell! That stuff you and I make merry with doesnt go to your heart! Did you make any resolutions for the New Year? Are you going to? Should I? (Sounds like Professor Qui*.) You know a fellow asked me the other day who is boss at our house. Sea I "My Mrs. and I share the honoj's." Being a married feller himself he looked kind of dubious so I had to explain. So I sez, "Sure! My Mrs. bosses the baby and me--and I boss the dog." P. S.--We didnt gel the dog yet Had a note from Frank Bennett on a Christmas card. He sent greetings to the whole force and bragged up The Plaindealer quite a bit. The Hess family sent a clever greeting from out Dakota Way. That makes two states heard frosa. Guess I'm stuck with just two, though. Something like you Republicans that time you got' Maine and Vermont. Suppose you saw those hitching posts that "Peggy" Feltz put up at the corner of Green and Elm. Of all guys to be inviting horses to town! Maybe you would like for me t* make another resolution to get my copy in early? Anything but that! Let's get this paper on a daily basis. What's The Tribune got that we haven't got? (Dont say "columnists.") No foolin', "Mose." there's more news going over the back fence every day than you could possibly print. One thing we really should resolve to do during 1941 is to observe all traffic rules. (Especially when a cop is watching.) It wouldn't be right not to make some sort of a resolution shout Improving the sport page. And dont ?ay, "God knows it can stand improvement!" Let's resolve to run more pictures on the sport page. Or aren't you plan* ning on renewing our contract with you for next year? One resolution we must not forget is to arrange a whooperdo of a char ivari for Eddie Matthews. Better late than never. Well, "Mose," there was great spirit in McHenry at Christmas time as I saw it. Of course, people couldnt maintain the same high pitch of good will toward each other throughout the year, but we should resolve to carry through a bit farther in 1941. After all, we could see more good In others if we looked for it. Reading the papers and learning of the many good deeds of "Good Fellows" makes one feel that there isn't much wrong with this country of ours. At least there is nothing wrong that cannot be overshadowed by charitable acta such as we see at this glorious season. But, maybe this is getting too serious? Aldermen Buss handed us a good one on a Christmas card that was addressed to "Mrs. Earl Walsh and Subordinates." * Mildred Kinsabi looked into the New Year vrith a wish for: "Good correspondents, good news, good cigars (from Glennie), good expense account, (a few) good Cubs, And --good gracious . . . Good Readers." Many local people are packing up and heading for the sunny south. One of my resolutions is not to envy them. Not much! * Our. S. B. C. showed us a column from the South Bend paper that led us to think that Gene Tunney, former heavyweight champ, had better make some resolutions. It seems that Gene was extended an invitation to attend the Notre Dame banquet. He sent his regrets via telegram, stating that his wife was very ilL Next day a Philadelphia paper came out with a pictuw of Gene having a gay old time at Connie Mack's banquet. Looks like it is going to take another long count to get Gene out of that one. Now. my dear editor, since this is the last publication before 1941, I FURTHER RESOLVE: Not to pad the expense aeeoont (not too much); Yours, & i, H. , Our high school team beat Barrington last Saturday night--«t Barrington-- didn't- get a box score--Dont forget to remember the county tournament next week--some good teams in the county--Hear tell that a great time was had by all at the Palace on Monday night--The gals had a grab bag--Mike and Herman received gaudy, red silk shorts--and what not! --Think nothing of it if you^see some local golf bugs on the course New Year's day-- The McHenry Foresters, a newly organised basketball t«a*i, played the first game tbe schedule last Sunday afternoon and lost a hard fought Stole to the strong Woodstock Alemite five, 43 to 86. "» Home games will be played in the high school gym. Seven games have been scheduled, starting next Sunday, December 29, when Barrington invades the local stronghold. Two games are scheduled. First game starts at 7:15. ( Former High School Stars Two teams have been organized, including members of the Forester organization and other former stars of M.C. H.S.

Freddie Meyer, former high school star, will manage the squad. The boys have snappy new suits and are all pepped up over the idea of giving McHenry fans some high class games. .

My Neighbor Says := The contents of the inner vessel of a double boiler will cooh much more rapidly if the water in the outer compartment is salted ia the proportion of half a cup of salt to two quarts of water. * • • Overwatering house ferns must be avoided, but ferns must not be allowed to completely dry out. It is best to let them become thoroughly dry and then give them a soaking so that soil will be saturated irotn top to bottom. • • • If your sheets do not Carry tAbs showing the size, make up some of your own. Write size of sheet on tape with indelible ink and sew on one edge of sheet. This will save time as you can quickly find the right sized sheet for your bed. • • • Try this "dessert method" foi pancakes. Bake four large pan cakes, quickly spread jam on each Stack the cakes and sprinkle granu lated sugar lightly on them. Sur round with warm orange sauce cut in wedge-shaped pieces and serve. Nice for a bridge club luncheon dessert. (AMteUtMl Newspaper*--WNU Sarvtcc.)

PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF EN6LAN0 ARI NOT .PUBLIC In daect contradiction to their namjr, the public schools of England are the most exclusive schools of the British empire. They include the auper-excluaive Eton college, Harrow and Winchester. They have no connection with the free schools, and are strictly private secondary schools,for the education of the elite. They are not supported by public money or in any sense "public schools"--yet that is what they are called. The masses attend free schools, not public schools, whatever the difference may be.
