We did worry about those Cubs when Beckert was injured, but things are looking 19. They lost their utility iufielder, Popovitch, in the expansion. Now they have him back. The name sounds like a Notre Dame football player. We were going to skip this issue, but a couple of items need a mention. After all, when people like Elmer Glosson take time to come to tell us the Sox would be OK if they had a couple of those Cub pitchers, we can't just pass 19 the advice. Northern lllini Bowmen News Luminous targets with unconventional scoring were the hit of the Northern lllini Bowmen Nite Shoot.

From what once was considered an aquatic "stunt" to a thrilling sport now enjoyed "by more than 10-million persons each year, water skiing has come a long way in four decades. Manufacturers estimate that water skis and related accessories accounjt for a whopping $30-million in annual sales in marine and sporting goods stores. / An excellent safety record has accompanied the explosive growth of the sport. Instructors and waiter ski champions say the low accident rate results from general observance of simple, common-sense rules on what1 skiers and their boat drivers should and shouldn't do. . A nationally known water ski star and instructor is 24-year-old Joker Osborn of Winter Haven, Fla. He calls attention to several "guideposts" to safe water skiing, and emphasizes that beginning skiers should not only know Jiow to swim well, but shouldNvear a flotation device such as a ski belt or ski jacket. "Skiers should check their equipment closely0 to see that there are no sharp, protruding objects on skis such as wing nuts, loose runners or splinters, "said Osborn, a member of the Johnson Sea-Horse Sports Advisory Board and winner of the Masters and National championships in 1964. "Beginners should learn to keep their eyes 'straight ahead' and stay away from docks and boats. Good practice is to run parallel to the shore and come in slowly when landing.

William L. Rutherford, director of the Illinois Department of Conservation, said that after that date applications from absentee landowners will be processed without preference. If the quota has been filled in the county where they own land, they will not be able to obtain a deer permit if they apply after June 20. Hunters who do not own rural lands may apply for their deer permits starting June 23. Any application postmarked before June 21 will be returned to the sender. Sportsmen will find permits available at the issuing windows in the State Office Building in Springfield. More than five applications from any one individual will not be accepted, Rutherford said. PG. 4 - PLAINDEALER - FRI. JUNE 13, 1969 Fishing in Calm Waters Requires Greater Care While most fishermen like to fish oh comparatively calm days, it is necessary to fish with greater care and quiet in calm waters. On windy days, some fish bite better but usually will seek the lee side of a lake or pond where the food may be blown toward them. Insect eating fish often feed near the surface at night or in early morning, but the persistent fisherman can find such nocturnal feeders during the day, too, by fishing in deeper waters or special "hiding places." In general, the best time to fish -- according to the real fishermen -- is "every chance you get." "When you fall, clasp both hands overhead to let the driver know you are okay. If you fall in an area that is fairly well-traveled, hold a ski up in the air after the fall so that you will be easily noticed. "Do not ski in shallow water. Five feet is the minimum depth considered safe for adults. Do not wrap the tow rope around any part of the body, or put any part of the body through a socalled bridle, or loop. "Never attempt fast landings toward shore and don't try jump-: ing from a boat while it is moving. Avoid skiing until overtired or near the point of exhaustion, and do not ski in front of another boat. And remember this--- never ski at night." Another person who qualifies fully as an ^xpert is Dick Pope, Jr., onetime water ski champion who now is president of Florida's Cypress Gardens, internationally known as a water ski tournament site and for years the home of many of the sport's greatest stars. "The degree of safety in any sport is related to the precaution and care taken by participants," says Pope. "Respect for conditions and equipment, combined with courtesy, are rules which make water skiing a thrilling yet safe pastime. There is no place in the sport for the show-off type who buzzes swimmers, fishermen, sunbathers or boatmen." REGISTER FOR WATER SAFETY PROGRAM AT LAKE The .Woman's club of Wonder Lake is planning registration toys for the Red Cross Water Safety program swim lessons at Wander Lake July 7-18. Registration will be on Saturday, June 14, and Monday, June 16, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The fee for the ten week days will be collected at time of registration. Only one lifesaving class will be offered. It will be located at the Lookout Point beach. Lifesaving requires a $1.00 book on the theory of lifesaving. Lessons will be 1% hours long and the course requires sixteen hours of training. The class will be held during the afternoon. All other swim classes will be thirty minutes long and scheduled in the morning. Specific times will be given at registration. All classes must be limited to fifteen people. Due to the underwriting of the Kiwanis the cost of the swim lessons has been reduced considerably. Registration for Indian Ridge North Beach, offering only beginner and advanced beginner' classes, will be the True Value Hardware store in Wonder Center. For Lookout Point Beach, beginner, advanced beginner, intermediate, swimmer and advanced swimmer and lifesaving classes, go to the firehouse on E. Wonder Lake road. For the Highland Shores Beach beginners, advanced beginners, intermediate and swimmer classes, go to the Sunset Grocery in Highland Shores. On the west side at Wonder Woods Beach No. 1, located at the end of Howe drive, classes for beginner, advanced beginner, intermediate and swimmer will take registration at the Hilltop Grocery in Wonder Woods. More lifeguards are needed to assist instructors during class time at the four beach locations. Anyone interested should contact Mrs. James Ahem by phoning 653-5315. SPONSOR BAR-B-Q This Sunday, June 15, the Huntley Lion's club will hold its annual chicken Bar-B-Q at the Huntley firebarn. This dinner is the organization's primary money-making project. Serving time is from 11 a.m. through 4 p.m. Money raised by this non-profit organization will be used to promote youth activities throughout the area as well as the purchasing of sight and hearing testing machines, essential to the youth of the community. Jbivot 3>olU Watch Dad Become King Of Cookery There could be nothing more appropriate than borrowing from the late, great Ernest Hemingway, famous author, big game hunter and fisherman, to proclaim outdoor eating "a movable feast." For eating outdoors moves from one fun-filled area to another; from backyard patio to campsite, from trailer to boats. Although keeping the family well fed is mother's job inside the home, watch dad become king of cookery when it comes to eating outdoors. Smart wives encourage this because it gives the men pleasure and the women a change of pace. Modern Picnic Basket Smart outdoor cooks know they can learn from their wives, especially in making preparations for their outdoor cookery. Here are some things women can tell them: Today's version of the oldfashioned picnic basket is the ice chest which serves as a portable refrigerator for campers, picnickers, boatmen ana on the patio. Fit it out with water tight plastic containers to keep food • separated. These plastic containers hold ice cubes well, too. A day or so in advance, fill some milk cartons with fresh water -- and fre&ze! Put them in the chest. This helps keep contents cool and also furnishes a ready supply of fresh water. Outing kits of vacuum bottles help a lot, too. For instance, if cool or rainy weather is anticipated, use one or two for hot soup. New wide mouth vacuums make it possible to carry hot stews and chili -- cold salads, too. Remember pots, and skillets -- the latter for your fresh caught fish, especially. One of the pots can give you hot water for instant coffee, tea or cocoa. No need to take a coffee maker. Moveable Pantries Need for can openers is almost eliminated -- by today's convenient packaging of soft drinks. But such cooking utensils as spatulas (for breakfast bacon, fish, etc.) and utensils for eating have few, if any, substitutes. Paper towels and aluminum foil, just like what mom uses, are always handy in the outdoors. by Carol Cooney The results of thefli-st round MATCH TOURNAMENT are as follows: Class A - A.

Deputies said Craig Toussaint of 3013 W. Emily lane, McHenry, was driving west on Lincoln, and took his eyes from the read until he found his car directly behind another driven by Mary Rhodes of 420 Tla Juana drive, McHenry. She had stopped, with left turn signal ' on, to turn. Unable to stop in time, Toussaint struck the other vehicle. He was ticketed for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. Neither driver was Injured. A passenger in the Toussaint car, Hope Clark, of the Riverside hotel, McHenry, sustained injuries and was treated by the family doctor. Marriage is often cheaper than engagement. - NOTICE - As a result of a Contest in TV-Guide, many people have been receiving Contest Awards of a Free Round Trip to Acapulco by Jet with Hotels for Two.
