' ~ £•. Thursday, September 22,1955 THE PLAINDEALER V •;• •• %fthm& 4cAVpr »• f WHO'S FOR "NODDY"? Ask a Navy veteran of World War n to name the card game he played most often in service and there's at good chance he'll answer Cribbage. For years a tradition among seafaring New Englanders, Cribbage received added impetus ' during the war when men in re- 8 t r i c ted quarters on board ship first became £ acquainted with the unusual blending of luck Wand s k i l l that is characteristic of the game. One of the oldest and oddest of all card games, Cribbage stands alone in its method of Scoring and manner of playing. Known as "Noddy" in its original form, Cribbage was invented over 300 years ago by Sir John Suckling. the famous English poet and soldier. The fact that the game makes little demand on the memory but emphasizes judgment and discernment helped to popularize it immediately. When English colonists migrated to the United States, Cribbage came along with them and sprouted wherever two people got together for £ a pleasant evening of cards. Cribbage Is played with a regular 52-card deck and is best for two players. Main object of the game is to form counting combinations (like Pairs. Runs, Fifteen) and register them with wooden pegs until someone gets 61 points. The game has its own time-honored lingo (Muggins!, Go!, His Nobs, His Heels, "left in the lurch," crib) which may sound like double-talk to the average kibitzer. Each of these .expressions, odd though it may sound, has its meaning, A Cribbage player calls "Muggins!" when he scores for himself points earned but not claimed by his opponent. He says "Go!" if he has no playable card. If a Jack is turned up as the "starter" card, it is called His Heels and counts two points. His Nobs refers to a Jack of the same suit as the starter, in the hand or in the crib, and counts one point. In an 12l" point game or double round, a player is "left in the lurch" if he fails to reach 91 before his opponent wins the game. The crib is the extra hand belonging to the dealer that is formed by each player discarding two cards before play begins. Cribbage is admittedly unique but it is a simple game to learn, and fun to play. Long associated with fire stations, country stores and rural kitchens, Cribbage is rapidly becoming a favorite of card players in all walks of life.

McHenry County Through The Years by Marie Schaettgen Chapter 48 -- Nunda Township The physical features of this township are not only pleasing but render it one of Jthe finest farming townships in the county. Dairying also flourishes in this township. Nupda is another McHenry »township that has (he advantage 0, of water attractions. The Fox river, Grifwold Lake and Lake Defiance, as well as part of Lakemoor, lie in this township. For a short time this township was called Brooklyn but later it was changed to Nunda as suggested by Col. Wm. Huffman, in honor of his native town. Geo. Sticlchey was the first -- settler. He came in 1835; A settlement Bprung up and was called Barreville. For a time it was thought Barreville would become a trading center, but this promise was never fulfilled. Another Important date in Nunda township w£s 1856 when •t a .'post: -officev wal established * at Caryl Wm. Nish Was the first postmas^^yr in i>. Cary became postmaster/ It seemB >that Cary, " or Cary . Station, as it was tfeen called, had a serious, wolf problem. Just before 1850, a bounty of $15 was paid for each wolf killed in the county. This proved to be . a bonanza for the hunters and they rid not only McHenry county of wolves but brought scalps of wolves/from other counties. At a tin?,/ when. a church could be built/or $700 and seven school teacherg earned a yearly total of $3,500, a bounty of $15 a head for wolves indicates this must indeed have been a serious problem. The teachers and ministers would have lived more luxuriously had they turned hunters. The first -mention of a sugar refinery plant in the county appears in the" history of Nunda in 1879. - The experimental business of making sugar from sorgo attracted foreign as well as national attention. President Hayes tested this sugar in his own household and found it good. He expressed his opinion and gave his thanks to Waidner and company of Chicago in a letter to them in 1880. In 1879 a clover and fruit drying plant was built by G. H. Clayson. These last two enterprises seem to set Nunda township apart from the rest of the county in the early history.
