Coach Gordon Stringer was not able to be present, but all are hoping he will be with them for the October get together. They tell us A1 and Alice Barbian came to join the McHenryites. How nice it would be to meet that fine couple again. Maybe somebody will send us a picture of the group next fall (black and white, not a colored photo). A little bird, through the grapevine, says we goofed in calling Marge Strassheim Dorothy. I didn't do that! Or, did I? Marge or Dorothy, she is one fine hostess at Snug Harbor. I made no mistake on that part. Now that our White Sox are burning up the league, Bob Adams wonders where all those Club fans are who were giving us a hard time a while back. Silence is their middle name. With a tornado threat an­ nounced one recent evening, we headed for the Fox Hole. Met the Larry Nimsgerns who had the same idea -- go to the basement when the storm is brewing. Chuck and Lois Peterson and their group were others who went down under. There were big doings at McHenry Recreation Thursday night when McHenry Rotarians paired off in special com­ petition.

Vi Benrud was in costume, but couldn't bring her boys down the stretch for first place. But, nobody had more fun or spread more cheer than Vi. Ed Samen and Ken Bruce took second place, Denny Conway and Chuck Peterson third, Don Weingart and Bob Adams (a couple of big ones who shook down the timbers for fourth place), Marty Frederick and "Red" Tourville took fifth. Then along came Bob Blake and Ed Cepulis in sixth. Their hooks went straight. Bowling alleys and modern pin setting machines of today are a far cry from the days when boys worked the pits to set up the pins and sometimes play tricks on certain bowlers. An invitation to County Clerk Vernon Kays' retirement dinner Saturday night resulted in one of the best times the Walshes have had in many a moon. Vern was both praised and roasted, but came back with the best talk of the evening. Master of Ceremonies A1 Jourdan was one busy fellow as he moved the program along in good style. He was apparently happy to be handling the program for his close friend. When it comes to public of­ ficials, Vern Kays has to rate with the best. Add to that -- he is a "good egg". Vern was all smiles as he reported a phone call from Bill Veeck last Thursday. Of course, they solved all the White Sox problems.

Qt fjiig MWIVJ rfl IMPROVING FUEL ECONOMY Energy is a valuable resource aadio are your recreation dollars. So Mercury outboard*' test driven have passed along a few fuel- conserving tips that can add up to sizable savings. Start by checking the fuel system in your boat. Make sure that all fuel line fittings are tight and drip-free. The carburetor should be seated firmly and if the casket leaks, have it replaced. The fuel filter should be doing its job ef­ fectively without unduly holding back the supply. Also keep a dean bottom. This lessens the effect of underwater drag on the boat Salt­ water boaters are reminded that a well-brushed bottom surface, free of marine organisms, has more go and handles better besides. And finally, remember that the skipper who maintains a steady hand on the throttle, and charts a true course, sets a shining example for the rest of the boating public.
