The Miller Porkies won the 1953 McHenry County semi-pro basketball championship by defeating" Hebron 68 to 57 in the first round, then defeated Crystal Lake in the semi-finals by a score of 88 to 61. The boys then went on to win the championship by taking the edge over Cary 53 to 51 in the finals. ^ The Millermen had a bit of trouble" with the Hebron boys in the first half. Hebron held an 18 to 12 lead at the end of the first quarter, and a 14-point lead mid-way in the second quarter. But the porkies cut it back d&wn to a 6 point lead at half-time. The end of the third quarter saw the porkies in the lead, 47 to. 44. In the first. 6 minutes of the fourth quarter, the lead | changed hands 6 times, and the Millermen put on the steam in the last 4 minutes to come out on the top side of the 68 to 57 score. Bill Becknell had 32 points and was top scorer all the way. Accuracy at the free throw line is what won the game for the porkies.^ They made 18 of their, 24 free shots, while.

We see the need for organizing a "B" league for baseball players in the county. Quite a few boys play baseball in high school and in the American Legion league. Suddenly they are too old for the Legion league and too young or too inexperienced for the «G0unty league. Shouldn't there-be » spot«for those fellows? In the past we have thought that the county league should get behind a, "B" league.. We think it would be to their advantage. Were the McHenry Township Recreational program in full swing, its director would certainly consider the need and solution. We hope somebody will pick up the idea and carry the ball. City -- D.

The score stayed pr,etty even nil thrpugh the first part of the third quarter, but then the porkies put on the fast break and went into a scoring spree to come out on top at the end of the game by a score of 88 to Let's give that recreational plan more than a passing thought. It has great merit. We see sound leadership in the choice of Burt Roesch as president of the organization. He seeks no honors, but has a sincere desire to be helpful in projects for betterment of our community. The recreation program recognizes all t the good work being done in the community. It does not supplant present activities, but acts as a coordinating unit aftd fills in the loose gaps which exist in every community. It can do a world of good--with coope- . ration on the part of both individuals and organizations. » There has b&n some plain and fancy bowling as the season rolls toward the last roundup, but no score has -come in for L.Jnaore comment-than a 225 game Ih a 589 series rolled by George Johnson in the Old Timers' league. ^All you have to do now, George, is remember just how you did it.

So the owner of Buss Motor Sales decided, last week Friday when a 1951 Ford was recovered^ after having been taken on a trial run around the block forty-five minutes earlier. * A young stranger walked into the garage about 10:45 that morning, looked at a 1951, green Ford and asked if he might take it around the block before making his final decision as to its purchase. When he failed to return at 11:15, local police officers were notified. They, in turn, called state police. As the call was being carried to sheriff's deputies' cars, one of these autos happened to be approaching the city limits of McHenry. On hearing the notice of a stolen car the deputy remembered having just passed a car, answering the description, near the top of Sherman's hill. • --*-- """ ~ Within a few minutes,' the--deputy, with local police, had identified the auto. Upon thorough investigation, they found that a wheel and tire had been removed but the obliging thief had replaced the tire taken with the spare found in the trunk. -Hwi' Hake "MARK'S" your Headquarters for the Season.... •BATS •GLOVES *CAPS • SOFTBALLS • SHOES • UNIFORMS Discmintci To Schools and Organized Teams . . i Mo/ikb :L2 & GREKrf STREET MlKll There are tonics for each season of the.year, but there is only one w h i c h o f f e r s a w o n d e r f u l c u r e t o r headaches, worry, or insomnia.

Q: Is rhinitis infectious? A: Yesp'very infectious, and can easily spread from one animal to another. Q: Why is rhinitis so costly? A: It does not kill many swine « * outright, but it may stop gains t o t h e p o i n t where hog raising is no longer profitable. Affected pigs fail to put on weight. Q: What are the symptoms? A: Pigs sneeze frequently. Later their snouts become 'pushed in' or twisted, due to distortion of the bones of the nose. Scours, Unthriftiness and pneumonia may follow. Q: Is this the same as 'bull nose'? A: No. The two conditions may look alike, but bull nose starts from an injury and barnyard germs. It is not contagious. Q: How is rhinitis spread? A: Careless buying of breeding stock and feeder pigs Is an important _ factor. Unless detected early, the entire herd may have to he sold, to get "rid of the disease. - Q: Is there any cure? A: Not yet. Prevention of losses depends on an immediate veterinary diagnosis at first suspicion of trouble so prompt control measures can be applied. ,» NOTE: Due to space limitations, general questions cannot be handled by this column.

Usually the taker's immediate reaction is to blame the subject for moving. This can be true, but not always i& It can never be used as an excuse for scenic shots or pictures of immovable objects which are not clear. It's easy to forget that one must hold a camera absolutely still while snapping a picture. Some cameras, because of the way the shutter release works are more susceptible to movement than others. If you feel that movement of your camera is due to this, take it to your photo dealer. He can show you how it works and the best method of releasing it smoothly. But, actually, it's more likely to be your fault than the camera's. So the best thing to do is be careful in the way you use it. Work the shtftter release pn your camera slowly and smoothly. If it's a button don't punch'at it, and if it's the lever type, don't pull it. down with a jerk. * There are many ways of steadying your camca. A tripod, of course, is excellent, and quite necessary for time exposures. You can also steady it by bracing your ai ms against your sides instead of having them stuck out at angles. This is sort of a natural tripod and. can be used with cameras which have an eye level.or waist level viewfinder. If you hold your breathy while you release the shutter, you'll have additional steadiness And with eye level finders, pressing the camera against your face is a help. So, while camera movement is a very common mistake among picture takers-- with a little thought it's very easy to avoid. If you follow the above suggestions, you should have no problem with it. --John Van Guilder Public Must Register For Blood Bank Soon Community residents are again reminded that the Blood Bank will visit McHenry on April 29.
