V On The Sidelines By Dick Robh tl Two old rivals will meet again tonight at Woodstock, when the Warriors travel to the county seat to take on the Blue Streaks. This rivalry goes back long before my time and in days gone by, it always meant a packed house whenever these teams played on the court. However, we can probably say those days are gone forever. Later in this column you will go down memory lane, with the Warriors and Streaks, and that night there indeed was a packed house plus at East Campus gym, When* Coaches Gib Kurtz of the Streaks and the "Old Warrior" Cliff Fulton battled along with the teams on the floor. Congratulations to Warrior, Junior Rivera. He placed second in the District Wrestling at Mundelein Last week and advances to Rockford Harlem for the Sectional. With a little bit of luck Junior can be raveling to Champaing later in the month for the State Finals. o Crown High school, probably the cream of the crop in this area, has won 17 games this season and lost only two. Jacobs High School is the only team to defeat the Vikings this season and they have accomplished the trick twice. Both games have gone down to the wire. Early in the season the Golden Eagles won 78 to 74, and last Friday night won 48 to 44. Athough Gai7 Collins' Crystal Lake South team is in first place, I'll still pick the Vikings to win the Fox Valley. Jimmy Johnson, center on the Warriors basketball team, is walking around with his right foot in a cast. The young lad fractured a bone in his leg, in a losing cause to Crystal Lake South last Friday night. The young Warrior is lost for the season, and the Warriors can't afford losing a 6'4" center. The old "Mistro" Ken Ludwig will think of something to aid the Warriors down the home stretch of the season. Don't forget the big alumni game tomorrow night. The odd year graduates.a gainst the even year graduates. In the opener the McHenry Htjgfrf acuity will take on the city workers. Some time during the evening there are going to be some great prizes awarded. The whole affair is sponsored by the McHenry High School Booster Club. For a very few active members, this organization does a lot of work. They need your support, so come out tomorrow night and help a good cause. It was during the 1962-63 season at East Campus gym that the Warriors and Streaks put on one of their famous battles. The Warriors jumped out to a 20 to 16 margin at the end of the first period, and hung on to win a thriller 51 to 48. I believe that both coaches were warned several times by the officials to be seated on the bench. As was well known, both Kurtz and Fulton were as active as the players on the floor. McHENRY VS.

FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of February 14, 1929) Eli T. Chase, pioneer and the last of McHenry's Civil War veterans, celebrated his 100 birthday anniversary at his home at Ringwood on. Feb. 10. Mr. Chase spent a pleasant day with his niece, Mrs. Lois~ Robbins of Chicago, as his guest and received the congratulations of his many friends in calls and many Cards of good wishes. Mr. Chase is a remarkable picture of the heroism of the ages as he sits in his rambling, comfortable home with the unusual record of five score years just past in which he has seen the march of time triumphant to the present age. Plans for the annual Boy Scout drive to be put on in McHenry county this week have been completed. Each year an annual drive is made for funds to carry on the work and citizens in McHenry have responded willingly, realizing that the work is one of the most important projects in the county to be carried on. McHenry has a fine troop of twenty-five active Scouts with F.E. Covalt as scoutmaster. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of February 23, 1939) Four aldermanic posts must be filled at the mun­ icipal election to be held April 18. A vacancy in the second ward was caused by the death of Herman Kreutzer, Sr., who had been elected for four-year term. The terms of three aldermen, who were elected for two-year periods, expire this year.They are Edward J. Buss of the second ward, John Bolger of the first ward and Fred Ferwerda of the third ward. Winners in the Valentine contest sponsored by the Agatha shop were announced as follows: Mary Knox, the oldest valentine; Minnie Knox, the sweetest valentine and Mrs. C.W. Klontz, the most historical valentine. Those receiving honorable mention were Mrs. Ethel Holly and Mrs. Dorothy Adams. In Bowling Notes: Marion Krause was mowing 'em down as. the McHenry girls beat Woodstock. The Blackboard at the Palace also showed a 240 game for Marion. Viola Brefeld ran up a neat 209 game in the Ladies League to bring victory to her team. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS (Taken from the files of February 19, 1954) At the meeting of the City Council it was voted to reject all bids submitted for the in­ stallation of new street lights and to re-advertise as per changes in specifications. Inaccuracies in bids caused some confusion and since correct unit prices exceeded available funds, the Council chose the right to act in the best interests of the city rejecting all bids. Voters in the McHenry Township Fire Protection' district very definitely ex­ pressed themselves in favor of the $60,000 special bond issue which was placed before the public at an election held at the city hall. The vote was 432 in favor and 23 against. Family and friends are justly proud of the achievement of Don Freund of McHenry, a Notre Dame student, who has just returned from the first concert tour with the school's famous thirty-six voice chorus. Although there are 250 in the glee club, only this small number are selected to tour. v TEto YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of February 14, 1969) On a motion by Assistant Supervisor Charles Weingart of McHenry, unanimous approval was given to a resolution in which the County board urgently requests that the state of Illinois Department of High­ ways strongly consider granting permission to, establish a four-way stop at the intersection of Chapel Hill and Lincoln roads. The intersection was termed "a very dangerous corner" in the resolution. Sylvia Marie Helm of Wonder Lake and Robert Brennan of Ringwood were notified that they had been advanced to finalist standing in the 1968-69 National Merit program. Nine residents of Holiday Hill's area visited the board meeting of School District 15 to protest busses stopping on the main road for children rather than driving through the subdivision. The dangers of having so many children waiting on this heavily travelled road were pointed oul. When a partial thaw permitted road work to be undertaken, the old route of the busses would be resumed. fAOh 1 -I'LAIMiMLtK -riUUAl, rtbKtAKV 16, I»7S» Upsets Can Alter Driving Fitness When buying lamb chops remember that ribs chops are likely to be more tender than shoulder chops. Are you fit to drive? Before you automatically reply "Of course." take stock of your mental attitude and physical condition. You may be unsafe behind the wheel, b»th to yourself and to others on the road. You may think you are in good health. You may have an excellent safety record. Yet, under certain circumstances,"it can be dangerous for you to be in the driver's seat. The American Medical As­ sociation reminds that the emo­ tional stability of the driver is as important as any single factor in maintaining traffic safety. That's why you owe it toothers -- and to yourself -- not to drive when you have serious problems on your mind. If you're thinking about that ar­ gument you had before you left home or office; if you're in a depressed or angry "I don't care what happens" mood; if you're very worried about a personal problem, you're better off not driving. The sleepy driver causes many accidents. In fact, a sleepy driver is as much of a hazard as a drinking one. Doz­ ing at the wheel can occur in broad daylight as well as at night. When making long trips, rest every two hours and drink coffee or cola to stay alert. Many medicines, not just a few, can affect the way in which you handle the wheel. Certain commonly used drugs such as antihistamines, cold tablets and mild sedatives may dull your re­ flexes or impair your coordina­ tion. Stimulants can make you nervous. Tranquilizing drugs can cloud your judgment and interfere with driving skills Consult vour doctor about the side effects of any drugs you take. Driving calls for clear, healthy eyesight, good side vi­ sion. judgment of distance and the ability to see well at night. Have your eyes tested regularly. If you have glasses for distance vision, don't forget to wear them. If you have a nervous disor­ der or a heart condition, ask your doctor whether you are a safe driver This also applies as you get older Past 65. reflexes and coordination tend to be somewhat slower The Best Of Both Music Worlds!
