Shown above are, left to right: Janet Anderson and Barbara Gilpin who played Sandra Bishop and Cathy Bolger for the first place trophy.

Mrs. Bishop is from Crystal Lake. Clearing Off The Sports Desk Extension Comments Each week reams of copy come to the sports desk. Some of the stories have no local interest. Parts of some (not 3 pages) may be of interest. It is our plan to cut down the long reports and bunch the various items in this column. It may be worth a try.

Riverside, Ct.--Johnny Miller, one of the world's premier golfers and an avid hunter and fisherman, has been named Honorary Chairman of National Hunting and Fishing Day, September 25, 1976. "I look forward to waterfowl hunting after the golf tour is over each fall," Miller said. "I've received a great deal of enjoyment from the hours I've spent in a duck blind, and I'm therefore very happy to be able to serve as Honorary Chairman of this year's National Hunting and Fishing Day. I agree totally with what the day is trying to do," he said. "I think it is important to show the conservation side of hunting and fishing. Sportsmen in­ terested in organizing a program or helping in some other way to promote NHF Day can obtain additional in­ formation from National Hunting and Fishing Day, 1075 Post Road, Riverside, Ct. 06878. VohnVbu RG* * • BOYS LEAGUE : FORMAL WEAR RENTALS for ALL OCCASIONS & Stoud tkt 1214 N. Green St., McHenry (By George J. Young, Ex­ tension Adviser, Agriculture, McHenry County, University of Illinois) Congratulations - to all 4-H and FFA exhibitors at the McHenry County Fair. We are very proud of you. Also, recognition to the hundreds of volunteers that helped make the Fair possible. Your support of Young America is truly appreciated. Beef Carcass Results - Congratulations to Floyd Getzelman and John Ryan, Woodstock, for their top placing heifer in the 1976 Livestock Association Beef Carcass show. Their heifer had a whopping 16.4 square inch loin eye. Whoever eats that steak will enjoy it. Gordy Weidner, Harvard, had the top steer carcass. We will be happy to mail you the detailed carcass data on the 28 steers and heifers that were evaluated. Wheat Yield - Bob Benschet's 40 acres of Abe and Oasis wheat near Marengo yielded ap­ proximately 83 bushels per acre. This compares to our 1974 County average of 42 bushel per acre. Plant Fall Vegetable Crops • Start planning for your fall vegetable garden. Cole crops such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage and brussel sprouts should be started from seed, since plants are not readily available in the summer. Seed of beets, carrots, turnips and rutabagas sown now will provide crops this fall. Be sure to keep the ground moist so the seeds can ger­ minate. Since lettuce, radishes and spinach are fast growing, you can wait until early Sep­ tember to plant them. All of these vegetables will tolerate light frost. Keep Flowers Blooming - Continuous flowering can be achieved on many of your annuals and bedding plants by keeping the dead flowers picked off and by not allowing the seeds to form. The small bedding type snapdragons, for example, should be clipped or cut back to produce more flowers this fall. ISU Standing MCC Students Perform At Competitive Level A report on the Spring 1976 performance of twenty-eight former McHenry County college students attending Illinois State university shows them to be performing at a very competitive level with other students groups. According to John Adelmann, assistant dean of instruction at MCC, this latest finding is consistent with the performance records of many other students tran­ sferring from MCC after two years of study. Adelmann stated: "As you may know, the college recently received the highest recom­ mendation for full ac­ creditation possible from a team of leading educators from around the country. An im­ portant concern of such a group when they are evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of a school is the subsequent suc­ cess of its students both on the job and at senior institutions like Illinois State. We monitor the performance of our former students regularly, with the results consistently showing that our graduates are doing quite well. I think these fin­ dings are strong indicators of the high level of instruction provided through MCC." RECIPE PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1976 Avoid Pruning - Summer is not the time to prune most plants. However, if there has been excessive plant growth or a storm has damaged a plant, a light trimming may help to get the plant within bounds or reshapen it for the next growing season. Prepare Geraniums - Now is the time to get geraniums started for next spring. Cut­ tings should be made from existing plants by pinching off three to four inches of a ter­ minal branch. A knife may be used but will increase the chances of disease. Root the cuttings indoors in moist - not soaking wet -- vermiculite, sand or perlite. Transplant them in a potting soil mixture when the roots are about a half-inch long. Keep your geraniums in a suuny window and watch them grow. Remember, pinching back the plant two or three times during the fall and winter will make a more compact one. Additional information contained in the report from Illinois State showed that the former MCC students were performing at close to a "B" average; this is slightly higher than the performance of Illinois State students transferring from all other community colleges around the state and about equal to the performance of upper division students who started their college careers at Illinois State. In concluding, Adelmann went on to state that, "an important goal of McHenry County college, along with providing topflight technical training in a wide variety of career areas, is to provide area residents interested in even­ tually obtaining a bachelor's degree with the first two years of their four-year program; being able to obtain this training close to home at a comparatively low cost and then transfer as a junior to the college or university of their choice gives our students, it seems to me, the best of both worlds; low coSt and high quality." Applications for full-time admission to McHenry County college are still being accepted and registration for Fall credit classes is currently underway in person, or by the new phone method. Further information about enrollment and opportunities available at MCC can be ob­ tained by calling a counselor at the college, Applied Science building. Whether a blouse looks good or not on a person is due to its length. A short person should not wear as long a blouse as a tall woman. It causes an imbal­ ance to the skirt or pants if the top is too long. Don't throw away all of those short dresses. Let out hems and face them with solid colors. Or use them as tunics by cutting them shorter. 3 Day Sale The Goodyear Radial You've Seen On TV!
