Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Donahue and daughter of Huntley, Qlan by Doris Folder k Peggy Selsdorf It occurred to us some time ago that sports were getting a little tame, and that something ought to be done to liven them up a little. For example, on the football or girls' hockey fields, obstacles could be placed here and there around the field to make the game more sporting. Sand traps and hurdles could be built at Intervals and where there are no sand traps and hurdles. We would put boulders and trees. In addition to this, a thick, artificial fog could be circulated above the field. All this wonld break the monotony of a sport, to say nothing of numerous other broken objects. Besides, we've always thought that McHenry was over-populated. We thought that we were the first to have this plan, but it seems that school officials have already thought of it. They have begun by placing a large wooden post in the middle of the hockey field. This had amazing results. At one point during the hockey game, the Seniors had only ° six players on the field, mistaking it, in the dim light, for one of their long, thin players. We are glad to see that we have such fine, forward looking officials in this school. Seniors Hold Meeting The Senior class held a meeting to select their class flower and to discuss the possibility of having Senior formal this winter. The white Rose was finally chosen as the flower to represeut the. jure qualities of this year's Senior Wattles of McHenry and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Harrison and family were Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Harrison. Mrs. Clayton Harrison and Stanley Jepson spent Sunday afternoon and evening in the Lenard Brown home at Claregdon H I 0 * - J . - " V . " class. After a great deal of discussion, the class voted to definitely have a formal danqe of some kind during the early part of December, but there is still some debate ofer whether the entire school should be invited or whether the dance should be districted to Seniors. IJie Charles tun in Really Back! After the McHenry victory over Delavan, a record dance was held in the cafeteria, sponsored by the Sophomore class. If you have heard various rumors that the Charleston is back, now you have definite proof. Numerous Charlestoning couples were in evidence at the dance, Friday. All you old Charles toners be sure to come to the next dance with your canes and crutches and watch f the younger generation coming in. Juniors Sell Tickets . Play tickets were issued to members of the Junior class last chased from any member Junior class. Hobo's to Hop All the hobos in town are hereby invited to a hobo hop, to be given by the cheerleaders. Everyone is to turn out in their oldest, messiest clothes, complete with patches. Prizes will be awarded to the persons who most nearly resemble a typical McHenry bum. The affair will be presented in the cafeteria, Friday, Nov. 9. A caller will be on hand to call the square dances, whi<y wjill be one of the main features of the evening. We expect to see a big crowd there. Board Plans Party The G. A. A. board met last week to discuss plans for their annual party, held for the purpose of awarding the .prises the girls earned in their recent magazine campaign. Committees were appointed to take care of the entertainment, prizes, and most import-, ant, food. The party is scheduled for Nov. 12 but is subject to change. The board iB planning a scavenger hunt with people. The girls will hunt all over town for the officers, who will be carefully hidden. Always efficient, they are also planning indoor eatertafament in case of rain. .'•* Barricades Resin Because Southern pine is s highly resinous wood, it is important to seal the knots in it, before painting, with aluminum paint or one of the i, ^specially prepared compositions.

Th^ Juniors have been doing their very best ever since than. This includes dragging aif? person aside, Maxwell street fashion, and giving him a dose of high" pressure sales talk. If this is unsuccessful, the next step is to call in a number of Junior bullies, stationed nearby, who glare at you threateningly and scare you into buying one of the doggone tickets.

Several hundred miles of snow fences are being set up at places where drifts are most likely to form. Sand and cinders-- 300,000 cubic yards altogether-- have been stored at convenient locations along the roads, together with 1,500 tons of oalcium chloride and 3,000 tons of salt to melt ice and packed snow. The division has 366 cinder spreaders and 1,000 trucks with snow plows. Announcing these preparations for winter, Charles P. Casey, director of the state Department of Public Works and Buildings, added that the division would start a roundthe- clock road condition bulletin service, beginning Dec. 16.

They are represented by 20 of the 23 standard railroad unions. Less Than 10% Reftoe But three unions--with about 130,000 men, or less than 10% of the total--have refused to accept, even after months of negotiations. These three unions are the Bafothenhoed of Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemeu, and th^ Order of Railway ~ inductors. These are three of the soiled "operating" unions. Already the highest paid men in the industry, their leaders demand still further advantages over other workers. In all, there are about 270;000 openating employes. But not all of them, by any : DMans, are represented by BLE, BLF&E, or OftC. As a matter of fact, less than half--132,000 to be exact--are in these three unions. More than half--about 140,000.--are in other unions, principally the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. What makes the whole situation so hard to understand is that these 140,000 operating employes are working under wages and rules which the leaders of the other 130,000 say they cannot agree to. a 1 What Do the Railroads Offer? ' They offer these three unjons the Mm# settlement which was contained in a Memonandum of Agreement signed at the White House on December 21, 1960, by four brotherhoods and the railroads. Later these brotherhoods sought to repudiate tliia agreement But on May 26,1051, Uw Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen signed a complete agreement cferrying out the principles of the Memorandum Ajgaemeul of December 21. They have been working under this agreement since May 25. -- What About Wages? Under the terms of the agreement, yard engineers, firemen and conductors wouM now be receiving a wage increase of $.34 an hour ($2.72 a day) and road engineers* firemen and conductors would now be receiving an increase of 19H cents an hour ($1.56 per day). Large sums of retroactive, pay have already accrued and if the agreement is carried out, will be paid promptly* What About "Cost of Living" Increases? The White House Agreement includes an. "eeoalator" clause under which wages will be geared to changes in the Government's cost-of-living index. Two such increases • --April and July, 1961--have already been paid to the 90% of railroad amjJoyes covered by signed agreements. What About the 40-Honr Weak? The White House Agreement calls for the establishment of the 40-hour week in principle, for employes in yard service. The employes can have it any time after January 1, 1952, provided the manpower situation is svfeh that the railroads can get enough men to perform the work with reasonable regularity at straight time rates. If the parties do not agree on the question of availability of manpower, the White House Agreement provides arbitrationby areferee appointed by thePresideot. ; -Whet Else Do the Union Leaders Demand? The continued quibbling of the leaders oi the three unions has t,<5 do principally with rules changes, which have already been agreed to by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. Of these, the one. »eems to be that having to do with socalled "interdivisional service"--cunsf$ which take in two or nous seniority districts. The union leaders would bar progress and efficiency in the industry, and better service to the public, by maintaining a situation where they can arbitrarily stop a railroad from establishing such interdivisional runs. The carriers propose that if a railroad wishes to set up an interdivisional urn, the railroad and the uiiions should try to agree on suoh run and the conditions which should surround its es-£V; tablishment, and if the railroad and the unions can't agroe, the matter witt be submitted to arbitratidn. But the three union leaders still refuse. Rules Can Be Arbitrated Tihe railroads have not only offered these thicee unions the same rules agreed to by the BRT and covered by the White'House Agreement, but have even agreed to submit such rules to arbitration. < The Industry Pattern Is Ffxei t0J With the pattern ao firmly established in the railroad industry, it seems fair to suggest that the leaders of BLE, BLP&E, and ORC stop their quibbling and take action to make the railroad labor picture 100% complete. Certainly today's economic and international situation calls for a united front. And certainly-no good teaeon has been advanced why these three umons should be pn&ceaii over <01 other railroad employes. 0 - i r t t n S I f c f t * Wfc VHeOitt W»a»e publishing this and*>tfcer advertisements to talk to yu<u k. at first hand about matters whkh ase important to everybody. •iy &.t\ :
