"Oh, yes sir, definitely," she said emphatically, "he's already beginning to complain atsout my cooking." Elephant Fallacies For ajl the experts' debunking, various false notions concerning the elephant persist in the popular mind. Elephants do forget, They are not afraid of mice. They are not particularly long-lived, having an average life expectancy about that of man.

A man's car broke down on a highway, and he hired a passing truck to tow him to the nearest garage. On the way, the motorist pulled out a bottle and prooeeded to get good and drunk. A policeman, noticing that the towed car was weaving from side to side, brought the procession to a halt. He placed the motorist under arrest „ on a charge of "operating a vehicle while drunk." At the trial, the man admitted he had been drunk. How* ever, he insisted that he had not been "operating" the car because the motor wasn't running! But the court was not impressed by this technicality and. found the' man guilty as charged.

Later young man who lived on that street was arrested andi charged with the crime. At the trial, the girl frankly admitted that she had never seen her assailant's face, ifowever, she positively identified the ac-' cused man--because she distinctly recognized his voice. The defense attorney protested that this kind of identification wasn't enough, but the court disagreed and accepted the-girl's story. The judge said that the man's voice was probably etched forever in her memory--because she had heard it tM)der such vivid circumstances! > r ated, and home-built bows; arrows of all makes, too, but mostly home-made arrows were used. As the spectators found, it Required vigorous exercise just to watch the event, which took place over forty acres of wooded and steep hills. And as predicted, many a brightly crested cedar shaft was sent astray of the target to , become lodged in a tree limb, to bury itself in the butts, or to become lost forever. That is the risk the bowmen take, however; and their compensation is ample for they love the parabolic flight of a well directed shaft. The souad of that arrow Vpluckirig" into the three-ring of a silhouette animal target eightyyards away is truly a thrill to them, and it's enough to convince anyone that it's somewhat iaore than luck. Tim Wheelock scored highest in the top men's bracket, with his brother, Phil, taking second by one point. Alex Kloeckner, West McHenry, was top man in the lower men's bracket. He was followed by a three-way tie for second place: Bob Svoboda of Lily. Lake, Bill Schiitt of MicCullom Lake and Gene Thayer of Woodstock. In the women's bracket, Gwen Wheelock took first place and was followed by Mary Lou Warfield of Woodstock. With the exception of what amounts to a women's' tee-off on Target No. 2, the women shot the exact course that the men did and the scores following are absolute, the lower che score the bftter the shooting in this case.

A y«jar ago this mouth a couhtywide organization of actively competing field archers was a little more than a dream in the minds of a holf dozen bow hunters But there was interest, there was cu8iosity. Certain curious people 'from McHenry, Woodstock, Harvard, Hebron, McCullom Lake, Crystal Lake and other communities bent an ear. And at last enough curious people got together and hashed out possibilities for building an organization for everyone who enjoys going afield with the bow and arrow.
