PAGE 6-PLAINDEALER-\!VEDNESDAY, JULY 5, ,1972 f A fX' HW Short week. How did that Fourth of July get around here so soon? The weatherman hasn't been too kind to those who like cookouts and other outs. istening to reports on traffic talities makes a fellow feel like staying home. Seems so unnecessary - all the accidents and lives lost. f Of course, we are watching some ball games and wonder why batters let so many good pitches go by. Often times they will never again see one so good. • Smart baseball peoplp-wfll point out that the coupHs the>> reason. When ^he-first pitch comes down the alley, there is no count. Always said we would like to watch a game where the batter did not have tc get his sign from the third base coach. Hit the good one and to h-- with the count!

There were horse thieves, but all they stole were horses. If we had to pick a batter to win a game for us, we wouldn't look past Harmon "Killer" Killebrew. If we had to pick a pitcher to win a big game for us, we wouldn't pick Fergie Jenkins. Took a White Sox team picture to'1Eddie Pieroni and, Believe It Or Not, he put it on the wall. The picture also has a girls' team in the center. Some real dolls! Of course, Eddie had to dig through a closet and find an old Cub .picture to hang nearby. Wonder how long that Sox picture will stay on the wall? Met Otto Larson and learned that McHenry has a great- grandmother who attends all the Little League games - Mrs. Frank Meyer. She has a great- grandson playing. That's great spirit. We are just reminded by a Cub fan named Linda that we should say something about the Cub's triple play on Sunday. But, they lost the game! We hate to mention that. So - they won the battle and lost the war.

Auxiliary courses are taught by experienced boatmen. In-, structors have been trained in all the latest techniques, and since they are boatmen like yourself, they understand your problems. Todtay boating is a family sport. The wife and children no longer stay at home while the head of the family is out en­ joying the water. For this reason, the Auxiliary believes it's wise for the women and children, as well, to lesrn boating safety. Everyone is welcome at Coast Guard Auxiliary boating courses. Color movies, slides, free boating literature and practical demonstrations are available for your training at the next Coast Guard Auxiliary course, sponsored by 4-5 Flotilla, starting on Sunday, July 9,1972. This is a tree lesson course July 9, 16 and 23, it will last 2 hours from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Korpan's Landing the Boat House, 112 E. Lakeview, Fox . Lake, 111. i Phone Dean Kolthoff (312) 497-3311 for more information. BOATING SAFETY Guy: Hey, you look like a guy who knows a lot about boats Man: Been around them all my life. Guy: Great. Want to plajt/a new game? Man: Sure. What's it called? Guy: Play dead. Man: Play dead? How do you play dead? ^Guy: I ask you three questions about boating safety. If you get one wrong, you lose. Ready? Man: Well, I... , ' Guy: How many life saving devices should you carry? Man: One for every person on board. Guy: What's the meaning of a square red flag with a black square centered on it? Well here we are at the half way pojnt of the season and we have had a lot of thrills and exciting plays to talk about. The Cards lead the league at the half way point and look like the team to beat. They have played very good ball for their coach Mr. Lee Mai, and behind the strong arms of Dave Wickenkafnp and Steve Whitehead they have yet to lose. The Mets are/a very strong team and will be out taking dead aim at (the Cards the second half along with all the other teams. In the games played last week, on Monday night the Cards and Cubs met and the Cubs came up short 11- 1. Dave Wickenkamp started for the Cards and went all the way, getting the win. Mike Winters started for the Cubs and took the loss with relief help from Randy Vauk. Tuesday, the Cubs and Tigers played, with the Cubs coming back after their \joss the night before, winning\ 10-4. Jerry Larkin started and went all the way for the win. His only trouble were two home runs given up to Dennis Choate. Dennis played his last game Tuesday as he is moving out of town and left his mark with 2 hoipe runs. Mike Winters hOmered for the Cubs along with a 3 run shot by Lee Snyder. Byron Nuss was the losing pitcher for the Tigers. Wednesday, the Mets and Giants played, with the Mets winning 6-4. Terry Gough started tor the Mets, going all the way for the win and helping himself by hitting a home run. J. Knox started for the Giants with relief help from R. Stanek. Knox took the loss. Thursday the game between the Braves and Sox was rained out. Friday, the Cards and Orioles played, with the Cards winning 11-4. Steve Whitehead went all the way for the win and Steve Lane went all the way for the Orioles and took the loss. Dave Wickenkamp hit a home rnn for the Cards. Steve Lane hit one for the Orioles. Satur­ day, a game was made up between the Sox and Tigers with the Tigers winning 11-10. G. Gilpin helped the Tigers with a solo home run and a GRAND SLAM. We hope to see you out the second half of the season as we start Thursday the 5th with a game between the Cubs and Giants.

During the salmon runs it is not uncommon to see businessmen in suits throwing out a line next to those out for a leisurely day of fishing. Because of the avid interest shown in salmon shoreline fishing, the Illinois Department of Conservation has for the past several years been conducting an experimental cold water fish project with coho and chinook salmon to provide a good run of adult salmon for fishermen. The salmon have been raised at the Spring Grove Fish Hatchery and some have been released in various harbors along Lake Michigan. The first return of coho is not expected until this fajl, and the chinook will not rel^frn for another year. The rearing of the salmon has not been easy, and the Illinois project has not been without problems. Or# of the main problems facing the conservation department is that the single stream, the Dead river, which empties into Lake Michigan, is often cut off from the lake by silt. A stream is needed so the salmon can imprint (change colors and leave a scent in the stream bottom) and then move out to sea, mature and return to the stream when they are ready to spawn. Since the natural stream is not usable, biologists have tried imprinting methods in wire cages in the Great Lakes Naval Harbor, Diversey Harbor, Waukegan Harbor, Illinois Beach State Park and at the Winnetka power plant, ac­ cording to A1 Lopinot, chief fisheries biologist. BY PETE FRITCHIE St. Petersburg, Fla. -- This is the w^y the Major Leagu& season in 1972 will turn out, so read carefully: In the National League the Pittsburgh Pirates look too deep for the Cards. The Cubs will also give the Pi­ rates a run for it and per­ haps the Mets .for a time. In the end. however, Pittsburgh seems too thick in talent. So i n t h e w e s t e r n d i v i s i o n , Pittsburgh makes the play­ offs and meets . . . ? Who else but old Walter Alston's Los Angeles Dodg­ ers? The Giants will make a run of it and so will Atlanta and Houston. But the Dodg­ ers feel it coming and ttifey might just edge Pittsburgh in the playoffs. The five- game set looks fifty-fifty. In the American League all think Oakland will win the western division again , and they're probably right. But it won't be as easy this year. The White Sox could win it if Oakland stumbles, a n d t h e A n g e l s m i g h t b e / stronger. Kansas City, second last year, again looks good and Minnesota--whom * •everyone says is weak- looked good to this writer in spring play. • In the east, Baltimore is the favorite but Detroit and Billy Martin are o^,t t^get the Birds and have a good chance. Boston probably gave up too much in the trade with Milwaukee but may be in it again this year. The^-- Sox led for the first part of last season. The Yanks might get into the act but probably don't have the pow­ er and depth to outdothe Ti­ gers and Birds. The hunch RIVER POND ....

During the first year, 81,714 drivers failed the written exam and about 14,900 motorists lost their ^licenses after failing the examination three times. Experts explain - "Some people think that just because they ve beei\driving for 10,20 or 30 years, they don't nave to know the new Rulei of the Road. They figure they jknow it all. Then, when they take 'the tests, they get the shock of their lives." If your license expires within the next year, you may 'be one of the many thou­ sands that will be re-examined. Now there is good news if you're nervous about taking the written examination. You can now pur­ chase your own sample self-scoring test paper, complete with que* tions, answers and road signs to help you pass the State exam on that important day.

From The Farm REMARKABLE RECOVERY The severely frozen corn in McHenry county has made a fantastic recovery despite the cold and wet weather. Some of the fields of corn were frozen within three inches of the ground and yet the corn has now produced new growth to where it is seven to eight inches tall. This corn will produce far more in yield than if it would have been replanted. The fields of corn or soybeans that were frozen within one or two inches of the ground were definitely lost and had to be replanted. SOYBEAN VARIETIES Soybeans^ have the ability to greatly shorten their vegetative period and may planted later than com reasonable assurance that will mature before frost. In northern Illinois, where the first killing frost is expected about Oct. 5, you can expect early varieties such as Chip­ pewa 64 and Hark to mature when planted as late as the last of June. And you can plant later varieties, such as Harosy 63 and Corsoy, until the middle of June. Late planted soybeans do better when drilled and when seeded at a heavier that normal rate. MARIJUANA CONTROL Aim Nnarijuana control measures at preventing seed production. Spraying provides a simple, economical, and effective means of control. 2, ^l-D and silvex are economical sprays that give % good control in non-crop areas. Apply about one quart of 2, 4-D or silvex in 50 gallons of water for each acre. Thoroughly wet the plants when spraying. To kill older plants, increase the strength of the spray solution. In non-crop areas where 2,4- D or silvex may affect nearby susceptible plants, increase the strength of the spray solution. In non-crop areas where 2, 4- D or silvex may affect nearby susceptible plants, use^ amitrole-T at a rate of one gallon of amitrole-T to 50 gallons of water per acre. Do not spray this chemical on desirable grasses. In any case, spraying must be done before the marijuana plants produce seed. If new plants grow after the treatment * spray again. CONTROL POISON IVY Spare yourself the "itching and scratching" of poison ivy this summer. Here's how to control poison ivy. The first step in poison ivy control is identification. It may vine on fences, walls or trees, spread along the ground, or even appear as an erect shrub. Each leaf is made up of three leaflets that may be either glossy or dull green and may have a smooth, toothed, or lobed edges. These variations can even occur on the same plant. Use amitrole or amitrole-T for effective herbicide control of poison ivy. Aerosol cans containing amitrole are convenient for spraying small patches, but a small compressed-air sprayer may be best for larger areas. You can apply amitrole any time after the plants have completed efirly spring growth and the leaves have reached full size. Soak the plants thoroughly with spray, but don't let amitrole contact desireable grass or broadleaf plants. You can also eliminate poison ivy by taking a good soapy bath following exposure Vo poison ivy or after hiking trips where poison ivy is present. CALF-STARTER MIXTURES The dry, calf-starter mixture you furnish your calves to supplement whole milk or milk replacer must be high in energy, protein, minerals, and vitamins. The mixture should contain molasses or some other sweetening agent to make it •V. A Injuries From Toys To 700,000 ChUron Annually The United States Public Health Service estimates that 700,000 children are injured each year as a result of ac­ cidents from toys. Many of these toys are especially hazardous to sight, warns the Illinois* Society for the: Prevention of Blindness. "Protective goggles in a toy helmet set will often shatter into jagged pieces^ Noisemakers have a tendency to shatter and send jagged chips flying. Party favors that explode can also be dangerous to vision. Parents are advised to avoid toys that have sharp edges such as a bird with ai pointed beak that could be jabbed into a child's eye. Always select toys with rounded edges and smooth surfaces. Avoid toys that ffre poorly constructed such as rattles that break apart, leaving sharp edges. Select dolls with embroidered or firmly glued eyes. They are safer than button eyes which can be pulled out, exposing sharp spikes. It should be noted that a toy that may be safe fox an eight-year-old may prov< hazardous in the hands of ar^ inquisitive five-year-old. V.A. NEWS mmmtm an antibiotic. it should contain Q. I am the daughter of a veteran killed in Vietnam, and going to college under VA's Dependents' Educational Assistance program. I wonder if the $1,000 I earned last year will prevent me from receiving further educational * allowan­ ces? A. No. There is no limit on the income you may earn while receiving benefits under this program. Q. I am in a VA hospital for treatment of service- connected disability" which is rated as 10 per cent. Will VA give me a permanent increase in my compensation? A. Compensation will be increased permanently only if there is a permanent Increase in the degree of your service- connected disability. If you are hospitalized more than 21 days, a temporary 100 percent rating will be assigned for the whole period of your hospitalization. Q. Some branches of military service have six months active training programs followed by years of weekly drills. Are these persons eligible for educational assistance* under the GI Bill? / A. No. Participation in these six months active duty training programs in the reserves or * National Guard is specifically excepted from the definition of active duty fqr GI Bill pur­ poses. How to use G.I. insurance dividends to buy additional paid up life insurance is ex­ plained in Veterans ad­ ministration pamphlets and forms now being mailed to four million eligible veterans. Veterans who have insurance dividends on deposit with VA were first to receive the in­ formation. Mailers tJO-Jhis group of 650,000 started going out in May ana continued through June. For the additional 3.3 million holders of policies eligible for the _extended coverage, VA mailing started July 1 and will continue for 15 weeks. Most of the policies are for 120,000 before extended coverage is added. Each eligible policy holder will receive a pamphlet on the new insurance and a form on which he can indicate whether he wants the added coverage. Those who do not want the extended coverage should return the forms also, VA stressed, because the agency will use all the replies to verify file numbers and Social Security numbers on its records. The amount of the "paid up addition" a veteran can buy depends on the amount of his dividend and his age at the time the dividend is paid. For example, a 51-year old veteran who received a $70 dividend cap buy $153 in added paid up protection. This is addition^ insurance coverage, above thfe face amount of the policy, that will continue through the life of the policy without an increase in premium. i1̂ "NITE OWLS" _ the ' • LAMPLIGHtER CAFE IS NOW OPEN Up.m; Man. thru SiC Try our Steak & ^eggs BILL'S UMPLIGHTER CAFE 8313 West Elm St. ~~ McHaaryj N " \
