\ SECTION 1-PAGE 6-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY. DEC. 15, 1971 I Gib Kurtz demonstrates kick as part ot taraie ucwuutu •••%» tihibWon at Marian Central high school. Marian Central students were recently treated to an exhibition in self defense and the techniques of karate by Mr. Young Hong of Woodstock Hong thoroughly entertained Marian students along with a number of other young men who have studied he art and science of karate. It was ex­ plained to the students that karate is the development of the mental and physical powers combined with various techniques of blocking and kicking. It is a martial art devised to strengthen weaknesses and limitations. It was further explained that any individual between eight and fifty who is willing to engage in regular physical training can learn karate. It is a self defense sport and both young and old, men and women, can enjoy it while losing those difficult pounds. Manan students were also treated to a demonstration of judo by Ed Ciske, a 1962 Marian graduate, who is a black belt. Ciske demonstrated a few basic techniques that were designed to defend one's self and to quickly disarm an opponent. Also involved in the demon­ stration was Gib Kurtz, a beginning karate student, who has seemingly learned his lessons well. Kurtz, in one mighty kick, broke a 14" board. Kurtz has been a student of Hong's for approximately three weeks. Hong, a Master black belt, has had extensive training in karate and has a very im­ pressive background He combined humor with his presentation as well as en­ couraging all students to become more aware in their daily life concerning physical fitness and coordination.

ELM - McHENKY EARL WALSH I Hear SPORTS EDITOR There aren't any dances like most of us had in our day. School dances are just for high school students - so the girls told us. Nice kids that we talked to.* Seems there should be an an­ swer to this problem. Any ideas? After days of dreary weather, the sun shone brightly Saturday morning. To add to our joy of living came a call from Herb Reihansperger - and had we read Dave Condon's column in the Chicago Tribune?

Like Dizzy Dean, when he announced baseball games, "Roundy" gave school marms fits. Dizzy used to say, "He 'slud' into second." Most of these young fellows and gals are OK. It is just the few spoilers who wreck their chances of having wholesome recreation. It's worth thinking about. iWk* X B»l' L % \ * m-ft - J* >7 4 * % "Roundy" Coughlin, famed sports writer for the Wisconsin State Journal of Madison had died. Dave devoted his column to memories of his friend. Nobody can * replace "Roundy" Coughlin. It would be a mistake to try to copy his style. "Roundy" wrote things his own way and paid no attention to sentence structure, spelling or good English. What Herb knew would tickle our funny bone was this portion of the Condon column: Roundy attributed his quaint quotations, in voice and in print, to two things: "First of all, I only went to the sixth grade where I made my home for three years. "Then when I was playing ball in the Illinois-Wisconsin League, I fell on my head and fractured my skull. That ended my hopes of playing for the Chicago White Sox. Of course if I'd wanted to play with the Met a group of young girls at Tomasello's Saturday night - yep - Saturday night and nothing for them to do.

We heard that some go to house parties "and drink." Also heard that some parents tell the kids to get out of the house and "get lost for a few hours." Say it isn't so! Youth Clubs have been tried in many places, but didn't last. The kids said that "outsiders" crashed the parties and broke up the good clean fun. Santa's gift to us was a large tube of something with this printing "How To Thicken Your Hair." We read the directions and plan to follow them right to the letter. This stuff has great possibilities. Plan to have a "Before" picture taken now. Later comes the "after" pic­ ture. Then watch for a testimonial. This is the time of year when a fellow's pocketbook gets flatter and flatter and he remembers somebody saying a year ago, "We are going to cut down next year." Success In 1971 Sports Festival Spurs Farm A zf.XA Bureau Members For '72 With the second place state trophy for 1971 success in the Illinois Farm Sports Festival received and placed on view in the Farm Bureau building, McHenry County Farm Bureau members are looking ahead to the start of the 1972 series of events in about another month. A banquet honoring par­ ticipants last week served as the setting for the presentation of the big second place trophy. Alden Kilian, Illinois Agricultural Association Organization District 1 field- man, made the presentation to Ervin Walters, Hebron farmer who is the McHenry County Farm Bureau president. Immediately ahead for 1972 will be bowling. Ken Reed, bowling chairman, told guests he is planning the county series of local qualifying tourneys in late January. This provides a large number of bowlers with a chance to bowl - in each qualifying tourney with the best score submitted if they like. "Participation is the main reason for the series of recreational events, and the scoring is weighted to em­ phasize people taking part, not winning," said Reed as he invited the golfers, swimmers, Keep them going If anything happens to you, your family is almost sure to have financial problems--unless you have enough life insurance to see them through. How much is enough? That depends on a lot of things--the size of your family, how old your children are, whether you have a mortgage. We can help you figure it out. Let's talk about a policy-tckkeep your family going if you're not around. Give one of us a call soon. Your cT) Country Companies ^ Agent -- softball players and those at the banquet who took part in other sports to join the keglers. He'll have tourneys in several communities to make one easily available to residents throughout the county. Eligible are Farm Bureau members and their dependents and 4-H members. The district meet for bowling will be Feb. 25 at Aurora with the state meet set for March 4 at Springfield. Awards to two outstanding softball players were presented at the banquet. Their success in leading their teams to the state championships helped McHenry County Farm Bureau finish second -- its highest in history since it placed fourth last year, fifth the year before and seventh in 1968. John Hogan won the MVP award for the All-County team. He was an outstanding pitcher. Bill McCannon was the MVP for the 35'ers - a fine catcher and timely hitter. Ray Semro, Country Companies Agency manager, presented each with a trophy. Jim Keefe, general chair­ man, reviewed how the county's points were ac­ cumulated: bowling, 740, trap shooting, 120; golf, 380; swimming, 315; district soft- ball, 855; and state softball, 445. Kilian called attention to McHenry county's willingness to help with district events - the district golf meet was at Plum Tree National Golf Course and the district softball was at Woodstock. Special guest at the banquet was Frank Chambers, IAA assistant secretary and chairman for the state-wide Sports Festival. He recalled how Sports Festival was organized in 1936 to provide rural people with a recreational outlet; it included baseball, husband calling, checkers and chicken calling, and square dancing and folk dance bands, to name some representative events, he said. Ervin Walters, Hebron, president of the McHenry County Farm Bureau (center) dnd Jim Keefe, Woodstock, accept the second place State award in this rural sport classic from Alden Kilian, district organization fieldman. The award was presented at the annual banquet last week. Keefe was general-chairman. DON PEASLEY PHOTO McHenry County Civil Defense Interested In Snowmobiling Safety Snowmobiling has become a tremendously popular sport in the last few years. Not only is it popular in the Northern areas of Illinois, but many families travel to the Northern States of Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota for snowmobiling weekends. Safety precautions should be read and a list of emergency equ pment checked before a snowmobiling trip, especially if you are in completely un­ familiar territory. John J. Shay, Direct' c of Civil Defense for Mc lenry County, points out that the following basic equipment should be snowmobiles: Aid Kit, an supply, a carried on A compact First emergency fuel compass, a COUNTRY Life • COUNTRY MUTUAL • COUNTRY CASUALTY MID-AMER'CA FIRE AND MARINE • INSURANCE COMPANIES ( Richmond, Ph. 678-6691 Lee B.

According to Shay, carrying a lightweight block and tackle with 50 feet of V4 inch nylon rope could mean the dif­ ference between abandoning your machine or continuing your trek if badly stuck. A hand-axe, hunting knife, waterproof container of matches and a small pan or kettle will become handy items if you should be stranded for any length of time. Also, keep some tea bags in the emergency supplies. Black tea is more energizing than coffee for most people. Advise someone where you intend to go and what area you are likely to be in. If an emergency should arise such as a breakdown or becoming lost which requires existence under winter survival conditions, the first rule is - DON'T PANIC! This is vital to survival. Light a fire. This will keep you warm and attract the attention of rescuers on the ground or in the air. If a shelter is needed, it can be made with snow, poles, evergreen boughs or anything that will break the wind. A hundred-foot circle tramped in the snow with paths radiating from the center like spokes in a wheel can be readily seen from a search plane during daylight hours. Evergreen boughs placed upright in the snow beside the paths are helpful. Any person wishing to become part of a search and rescue team in conjunction with McHenry County Civil Defense is requested to send his name and address to the civil defense office at Woodstock. In Hot Water? Though Helsinki, Finland, lies at the same latitude as southern Greenland, winds warmed by Gulf Stream waters blow across the Scandinavia Peninsula to temper the climate. The city has an average winter temperature milder than Duluth, Minnesota. WE USE AND RECOMMEND f RK f PRODUCTS You CAN Tell The Difference... JAHE'S f ~ ^ Styling For Men By Appointment 385-7771
