Writing three columns this last week in August may stretch our imagination. But, away we go! Some people tell us they never eat breakfast. They puzzle us We couldn't get percolatin' without a good breakfast to start the day. ;# It isn't until the second cup of toffee that we get sociable. Now we find out that Jerry Miller (Crystal Lake Road) was born a Cub fan. He can't help himself. Yep. Jerry's mother (Mrs. Joe J. Miller of Waukegan St.) sets a radio in the window when she is out in the yard so she can hear the Cub games. Our mother, when in her 80's, used to take an early nap so she could be ready for White Sox and Notre Dame games. A fpllow Hrc to like these mol nights when you wake up enough to reach down and pull a blanket over you. That Cincinnati baseball team is just too much. They are so far ahead that Manager Sparky Adams can play Johnnie Bench in left field and leave the catching to a Plum- mer. And if Bench isn't the best in the game, please let us know whom we have forgotten. Visited a shopping center this week and found a place to sit down while the Little Woman was "just looking around". They used to advertise pre- shrunk clothing so a pre- washed sign aroused our curiosity. Was told that young people today wouldn't be seen in bluejeans that look new. It used to be that our mothers sewed patches on our pants when the knees or seat came out. You could only wear them around home. Now the patch goes on before the pants go out. Coach Bill Day will send forth his mighty Warriors to do battle with the North Chicago football team here Friday night in the opener of the North Suburban conference schedule. Let's hope we have a cool night and a hot team. We didn't know THAT! "Frenchy's" daughter toured all the way out to Oklahoma to bring back that straw hat he has been sporting. Some people always wonder why they call it Labor Day when it is a holiday. Stick around a few years and somebody will introduce a bill to change it.

Rte. 120, McHenry MOW WHCQM KNOW YOUR AREA-ROYAL WELCOME DOES IT BEST SWIMMING IS IMPORTANT Can everyone in your family swim? That's the question asked by the Lake Rfegion YMCA. "No family is fully taking care of its welfare unless every member can learn to swim," says Phillip Baaske, Physical Education Director. "A whole range of tempting and exciting activities is safely open to youngsters as well as adults who can swim" Baaske says. "Boating, water skiing, skin-diving and others. None of these are safe for the youngster who can swim or not. Yet it accounts for most of the national increase in drowning since 1960. Everyone in the family should be able to swim. Ac­ cording to statistics of the National Safety Council and National Center for Health Statistics, two-thirds of all drownings are caused by lack of accidents or during recreational activities, the Council finds. As part of its people business, the YMCA for a long time has been teaching a great many people to swim. Every day in 1974 for example, 2,000 people learned to swim in YMCAs. "The YMCA is teaching not only youngsters but adults to swim particularly as it in­ creases its total family programming," Baaske says. "Why not get every family member drown-proofed by calling the YMCA today at 459- 4455 for information about our swimming groups.

Men's 16" Softball By John Weyland Hettermann's And Old Bridge In Finals Of Playoffs^ Monday Aug. 25 Old Bridge took the second game in the best of three series against Apple Inn to give both teams one win and one loss. The scoring started early with Old Bridge outscoring Apple Inn 7 to 2 in the first 2 innings, and then going on to win 11 to 8. Tom Les had 3 hits for 4 trips to the plate and then scoring 2 runs. Denny Smith of Apple Inn collected 4 hits for 4 at bats including 2 doubles. In the second game Haut- zinger Concrete did almost the impossible by beating Het­ termann's in 5 innings by the score of 16 to 1 and thus winning by the 15 run rule. By doing this, it moved the series into the third game. Everyone on Hautzinger Concrete got at least 1 or 2 hits. Hettermann's came back the next day Aug. 26 and advanced themselves into the finals by beating Hautzinger Concrete 16 to 3. Bill Oeffling, Myron Bentz and Rick Wakitsch all had a fine game and together had a total of 10 hits for 12 at bats. In the second game Old Bridge advanced into the finals by topping Apple Inn 7 to 2. Old Bridge was the 3rd place team this year and Apple Inn was second. Old Bridge played one of its finest games this season. And we wish them luck in the series with Hettermann's in the finals. The finals will be played on Tuesday, Sept. 2 and Wed- CHAMPIONSHIP FLIGHT. This view of the scenic eighth hole at the McHenry Country Club found these gals vying for the club title. L-r are Carol Cooney, who finished second with a final round of 94 for a 72 hole total of 379, Alvina Yopp, finishing fourth with a 98 for a 383, Marilyn Bishoff, the Ladies Club Champion with an 85 for a 364 and Judy Smithson carding a % for a third place finish with a 382. This view was taken with a telephoto lens from the eighth tee. (STAFF PHOTO'-WAYNE GAYLORD) DIVOT DOLLS M.C.C. By Liz Nolan Tuesday's final round of Club and Class Championship tournament found Marilyn Bisshoff shooting a fine round of 85 to give her a total low gross score for the four rounds of 364, making her undisputed Club Champion for 1975. Going into the final round with a total low gross of 285, Carol Cooney carded a 94 for total low gross of 379, giving her a total low net of 315. On the same day Nell Fidler entered with 308, carded a 99 for a t.l g. of 407 and a total low net of 315. Thus a tie for low net over the 72-hole event en­ sued, making a play-off necessary to determine Class Champion in Class A. As this goes to print the play-off has not been shot; consequently, the suspense will remain until next issue. Also, in Class A Judy Smithson ran into a few out of bounds (namely on No. 4, No. 12 and No. 18) to put her just out of the running with a total low gross of 382, netting 318. She was followed by Alvina Yopp with a tl. g. of 383 and a_ net of 341. In Class B Dorothy Freund had a total low gross of 438 to give her the championship in that flight. She was followed closely by Kathryn Bolger who captured low net in the same class with total low net of 331. Class C found Evie Guntner emerging as the low gross winner with 481 while Betty Smith won low net over the four days' play with total low net of 360, followed closely by Jean Napier who netted 361. That was a pretty tight race. While playing under the pressure of a prolonged tour­ nament, a number of the gals did some mighty fine putting. On Monday Nell Fidler took low putts in Class A by using only 28 while in Class B Kathryn Bolger and Mary Mahoney tied for low putts with 32 each. In Class C Eleanor Kreuser, Betty Smith and Esther Jemiola made it a three-way tie with 34 putts each. Then on Tuesday Marilyn Bisshoff in Class A had only 27 putts; in Class B Myrt Johnson and Nancy Wilkins tied with 30 each; and C Class also had a tie between Dot Westergaard and Betty Wayman, each taking 33 putts. Lots of gals flew up to the Birdie Tree this week. On Monday Maizie Samer birdied No. 18 while Letty Busscher birdied No. 9. On Tuesday birdies went to Nell Fidler on No. 9 and Betty Phalen and Floss O'Connell, each on No. 14. Mary Anne Cristy came singing into the clubhouse to announce that she sank her approach on No. 11 Tuesday while "Paradiddle Polly" Faye Stewart had a near fainting spell on No. 6 the same day when she used her 8-iron and sank her approach from 40 yards out. Such are the in­ dividual shots that keep us coming back, I surmise.
