As Chief Grobel dragged tho By Jack Walsh We tried our luck at catching bluegills in Lake Geneva last week. The fish were very cooperative and we had our limits by noon. We let out about one hundred feet of line from the spinning rods and drifted with the wind. Bluegills were everywhere. Occasionally we would hit a '"hot spot" and the action would become fast and furious. On light tackle the bluegill is a real scrapper and many anglers claim that pound for pound he will outfight any bass. Nightcrawlers, red worms, and crab meat are good baits. Grubs are also good, if you can find them. : - One fellow asked us to report that his wife got some nice bass the other day. When asked where, he replied, "At the A & P." Writing about something like this hardly seemed ethical, but he insisted. The fellow's name has been withheld to protect him from psychiatrists who are short of business. No other reports have come in about fishing in this area. If anyone has an unusual experience or makes a good catch, we would like to hear about it. There's no news like local news. Here is a list of the counties that will be open for deer hunting this fall: Northwest Illinois--Jo Daviess, Stephenson, Winnebago, Carroll, Ogle, Whiteside and Lee. West Central Illinois--Putnam, Marshall, Mercer, Henderson, Warren, Hancock, Fulton, Adams, Schuzler, Mason, Pike, Cass, Morgan, Scott and Calhoun. Southern Illinois--Jackson, Williamson, Salino, Gallatin, Union, Johnson, Pope, Hardin, Alexander, Pulaski and Massac.

The new commander, Edwin Reid; will preside at his first meeting on Monday, Aug. 12, along with his other elected officers. It is hoped that many members tfill attend this meetihg to give the new commander a proper send-off. By the time this is read, the state convention will be over. Delegates to the convention this year were Past Commander John T. Gray, Past Commander William Green, Past Commander Alt L. Schoenhoitz, Commander Edwin Reid and senior vice-commander Robert Hendricks. Alternates /to the delegates were Jr. Vice-Commander Harry Mueller, Adjutant George Mrachek, Past Commanders Robert Conway, Virgil Pollock and Harold Vycital. Important happenings at the convention will be relayed to the members at the Aug. 12 meeting. Among the many activities of Post 491, there is none that can outshine the Sons of the Legion and their drum and bugle corp, who are under the wing of Harold Vycital. Of course it takes practice to come up with a good bugle corp and Harold Vycital is the man to see that the boys get plenty of it. At the slightest mention of a parade, dedication or public event, Harold is right there to volunteer the services of his Sons of the Legion. It certainly keeps the boys on their toes. The rifle squad of Post 491 ujnder its new president, George Mrachek, is as active as ever." To cement relations throughout the county they have invited the rifle squads from $ach post in MeHenry county to be their guest at an August corn roast.
