Heart Break.* There are heart breaks in boat racing. In the Winnebago race. Bob finished first but was disqualified on a technicality of the motor. The winner in that one was Fred Snyder of Lancaster, Pa. Snyder is 46 years old and has been pounding over the waves for 20 years. During "The Greatest Show on Earth with Betty Hutton, and James was recently called back for another movie. But he contends that wrestling has given him greater fame. The show opens at 8:30* p.m., with Ted Marshall of Detroit against Jack Carter of Columbus, Ohio. It's one of the most spectacular cards brought to Round Lake park this summer by Promoter Fred Kohler. Tickets are priced at $2, $1.25 and a general admission charge of 75 cents for children under 12. They can be secured at Zeman's drug store and Lake County Stadium in Round Lake Park. Patrons are advised to the past two years, he has been ! check up early for advance tickets because of ' the expected onrush, especially by fans who have never seen the midgets in action before. The little guys weigh about 100 pounds each driving a Switzer-Craft boat. But. back to our heart breaks. This time it was Snyder who was disqualified on the same technicality.

JOHNSBURG WALLOPS ELGIN LEGION NINE BY SCORE OF 23*4 The Johnsbuig Tigers went on a rampage on their home diamond last Sunday to trample the Elgin Legion nine, 23 to 4. Willie Klapperich went all the way and had a shut-out until his defense opened the way for Elgin's four runs in the ninth. Howie Katz led the hitters with four safe blows while Tom Huemann got the lone home run in the free-hitting contest.

The advisory council members present were . Jim Curran, Tom Diedrich, Allen Dimon, Albert Oonk, Francis Schmitt, Art Stilling, Charles Weingart and Bill Yung, Jr. Ben Justeh and Bill Pictor, unofficial . members, were present; also. Topics introduced and discussed were the F.F.A. banquet, agricultural enrollment by classes for the coming year, adult classes, selection of new advisory council members and election of officers. On the matter of adult classes for the coming year, the question arose on whether to continue as planned with a third course in dairy management this fall and a second course in swine management next spring or to switch to a generally recognized problem of straight farm management. The question was tabled until the September meeting while the council members took this opportunity to talk to their neighbors about the situation. Any adult courses offered are to meet the need of the farmers in the area. Sometimes this need is not even recognized by the farmers themselves so one of the main functions of an agricultural advisory council is to try to find out what will do the most good. A look at the class enrollment for the past four to five years will show that a few farmers in the community have taken advantage of all opportunities offered. Yet it is a rare farmer at any time who doesn't have some problems. Leaders feel the. lack of interest would that either they haven confidence in the agriculture department's ability to find a solution or else they fail to believe in schooling. Most farmers accept the privilege of paying school taxes. Adult classes offer an opportunity to get hgore for your tax money. . \ t According to thfe govemin|f policies of the advisory council, new members are selected to Stmm ' . -r'i' M •Thursday, August 20, 1953 the local situation will be missed McHENRY FARM at the regular meetings.
