T< ' *1* 1 •• * THE McHENRT PtammwiTiwr- TEBrMtf, Oii61>« 8^1955 t"Air- »w«gin If we hadn't had our ear to the radio, there would have been no question as to the World Series winner. Of course, the phone rang immediately. And, of course, Eddie Doyle timed our mail delivery perfectly. Irish eyeso were smiling ELS he came up the walk. He wanted to be the first to tell us that the Dodgers and the National League had put it over on the Yankees and the American League. Sentiment ran with the Dodgers. The Yankees had been clobbering the opposition too long in the eyes of many sport fans. For our part those Yankees have been whacking our White Sox around too long, but that was forgotten during the series. Now we are back in the groove and telling our tormentors to wait until next year. For White Sox fans, hope never dies. It just fades JtW&y in September air. With Frank Lane out of the picture, the Sox brass will have to do big things just to show the Old Trader that they can get along without him. We douibt if they can out-talk the other teams as did Lane. It Inay be they will have to open purse strings and buy a couple of top-notch ball players. But, time will tell. We have ordered <?ur button, inscribed "Wait 'Till Next Year". Paul Yanda and his- high school band are aglow with pride this week as they await the big foottoll game on Saturday when Minnesota invades Northwestern. McHenry's group will be one of fifty-three bands, consisting of 4300 band members, now tuning up tb make the skies ring over Evanston on Saturday afternoon. The fact that Paul hails from the rugged State of Minnesota has nothing to do with his anxiety, That's g what he says! a t< Our man Zilly was real busy at WOODSTOCK STREAKS BElAT WARRIORS OF McHENRY 26 TO 13 A fleet fellow named Roger Musser showed his heels to the McHenry Warriors l^st Friday night as the invading Woodstock Streaks sprinted to a 26-13 victory. It registered as one of those things when Musser ran back a Kftsk-off 85 years for a touchdown, but when he did it again on an 88 yard gallop it looked like a perfect pattern designed in advance. He's a fast man, tha,t Musser. Woodstock kicked off to McHenry from the east end of the field and everybody took a hand in ripping through for gains. Huemann threw a long pass to the 3 yard line. Schneider took it over, then kicked the point for a 7-0 lead. Then came the first bolt of lightning as Musser stunned everybody with his run across the goal line. After two offside penalties against McHenry, a bad pass from center spoiled the Streaks' chances for the point. Wittenberg kicked off and Huemann needed just one more block on a 40 yard return. The home team got off a poor kick on fourth down. Woodstock recovered its own fumble, but lost 22 yards. A good roll on a quick kick set the Warriors back. McHenry seemed on the way in the third quarter as Huemann passed to Sales for an apparent touchdown. But, the Warrior backfield was in motion. Huemann's purit went straight up and the Streaks rolled to another touchdown as Wittenberg went over from the 2 yard line. Musser passed to Gray for the conversion and a 13-7 advantage that stood at half time. Schneider ran hard in the third quarter and brought the Warriors to a 13-13 tie. But, lightning streaked out of nowhere again and Musser's second long run put his team ahead to stay. Carlson kicked the point for a 20-13 score. Woodstock went on to march for another touchdown, Anderson going over from the 6 for the final score. McHenry gained 177 yards rushing and 77 passing to a total yardage (of 106 for Woodstock. McHenry averaged only 19 yards Starting next week, we will publish the standings in each league. Secretaries are urged to turn the standings in with weekly scores. Please do not hold scores. Turn them in to us as soon as possible. It will give us a chance to have them set up before the deadline rush. Thank you. --McHenry Recreation- Business Men-- F. Schmitt, 213-200-591; H.

M eT hi We would like farmers hereabouts to take advantage of these few lines. The Department of Conservation is now filling orders and sending out information on seedlings. Prices of seedlings range from $5.00 per 1000 to $15.00 for red and white pine. Multiflora rose seedlings run about $12.50 per 1000. Species available in lots of 500 or more include black locust, black walnut, cOttonwood, osage orange jack pine, red csdar, red pine white pine, ash, red glim, sycamore, tulip popular, bald cypress lolblolly pine, Scotch pine and shortleaf pine. Cypress, loblolly, and shortleaf are recommended for planting in southern Illinois only, and Scotch pine for Christmas trees only. Trees purchased from the Department are to be planted on rural land for the establishment of a new forest, for the improvement of a forest already existing, or for wildlife habitat and are not to be used' for ornamental or landscaping purposes. Most farmers nowadays like to plow as close to their fence line as possible so as to make more money on crops, but by destroying the nesting places of birds and animals they upset the balance of nature. That's where conservation steps in. A fence corner with some multiflora rose planted in it may harbor as many as 20 pheasants at one time. We cannot explain or even try to explain the importance of cover for animals. Anyone interested in this sort of (thing can obtain information from the State Division of Forestry office at 303 East Monroe Street in Springfield.

Back To School 1$ Problem For All The schools may be for all of the children of all the people but all of the children do not complete high school even after they begin the first grade. In September, 1941, there were 116,481 children enrolled in" the first grade of the public schools of Illinois. Eight years later there were 80,323 enrolled in the eighth grade, while twelve years after enrollment in the first grade there were only 59,625. The data for those entering the public schools in September, 1942, is similar. The first grade enrollment in September, 1942, was 117,060. The eighth grade enrollment eight years later was 83,233.. By the time this class reached, the senior year in high school in September, 1953, the number had dropped to 61,951. These conditions are common. A study of school enrollments over, any period of years will show corresponding losses although the percentage of attendance is showing some improvement. Each community should make a special effopHo see that all Of the cjhildren receive an opportunity to coniplete at least a high school education. The child who does not have a high school diploma today is handicapped more than the person who did not have an eighth grade diploma a few years ago. BETTER PROGRAM NEEDED TO CHECK SKIDDING PRICES Northern Illinois farmers miuft help develop a' ibetter national fawn program that will help check skidding farm prices. That is what Otto Steffey, president of the Illinois. Agricultural association, itold eighty farmers from Lake, Kane, Cook, DuPage, will and McHenry counties who attended a district policy development meeting >near Warrenville earlier this month. "Farm prices have fallen about 25 per cent in the last four years," SJtetffey said.' "A new approach to national farm legislation is needed if we are to halt this decline. Any program developed by the Farm Bureau organisation Must be sound and workable and acceptable to the public and legislators," Steffey said. Earle B. Johnson, Huntley, IAA director, served as 'chairman of the meeting. Farmers . are now receiving about forty-two cents on the dollar consumers spend for foog, a*^ compared to f i f t y - t h r e e cents a'" few years ago, W. B. Peterson, IAA secretary of marketing, bold the group. Farmers must pay more attention to their marketing problems, he said. Peterson also stressed the need for research to find new uses for farm products. U. S. POST OFFIC; CONTRACTS FOR OF NEW BUILDINGS Contracts forMeasing or longterm purchase of neV buildings to be used by the Post Office department have been signed at a rate Of over onex and one-half per working day during the past eighteen' months, Postmaster General^ Arthur E. Summer-field has reported. Through the department's commerciar leasing program and its leaseipufrchase method for obtaining" new' modern buildings, the Pt^t Office department has either occupied or will oceupy, upon completion, approximately 600 new units fit an estimated construction cost of about $49 million dollars. This new construction is not part of a federal public works building' program. As a matter of faot, no appropriations for federal construction of public buildings for postal use have been made since 1938. ^ The commercial leasing program permits the department to make long-term non-cancellable leases. By this means new modern postal facilities erected to the"3 Department's specifications are leased from private enterprises, using funds provided by private investors. This program has created about $35 million dollars in new construction during the last eighteen months. The lease-purchase program, passed by the 83rd Congress, is actually a "buy-otrt-of-rent" method for obtaining new modern postal facilities. Under this program, the department is buying modern, vitally needed facilities substantially like the average prudent American buys his home, in periodic payments like rent. This program is designed to use the financing and construction capacity of American business to provide modern, buildings for post^ office use.
