EXCHANGES ON SALE ITEMS art since free swingers got to be millionaires. I can remember in the long ago when kids in pickup games made the rule "over the fence is out". The danger was that a ball hit over the fence into high weeds might be lost and that would be the end of the game. It is sweetcorn time again and some people think the big ears are the best bargain. Maybe so. But, give me that bantam brand -- small ears. It is hard to find. Had some last year called ban- lam 'Twasn't so Won't get so reckless as to say I'd walk a mile for my favorite corn, but would drive a few miles. • * * * Larger debts some­ times force one into larger earnings.

Satoh Beaver A Lot of Little Tractor COMPLETE LIQUIDATION McHENRY Office Supplies From the outset (6«50 pm.) of the seven-mile run on Tuesday. John Mdnerney wos in chorge of things os usuol. As the runners scampered over the Pearl Street Bridge, Dig Mac ran only 10 yards ahead of a mob of competitors. He soon stretched his lead to over 100 yards after conquering Lincoln Road and Chapel Hill Rood. At the half-way mark (Johnsburg Bridge), Mac's time wos a quick 18 minutes and the crowd could feel that a record for the 7-year old marathon might be broken. By 5:25 pm., Moc had already wound his way over Johnsburg rood and Riverside drive. He looked fresh as he pounded his way alongside his police escort ot the intersec­ tion of Riverside and Broad. The earlier prediction nearly came true as Mac crossed the finish line with o time of 36 minutes and 00 seconds - Just .06 seconds off lost year's time of 06.22. The former McHenry cross country star stood at the finish line to greet his op­ ponents as they come across. LAKL WALSH So I Hear And, away we go! Now comes fish stories. "Dear Earl: "Just read in your column that you don't hear any big fish stories any more. I tho't for sure Larry Nimsgern would have told you about this one by now, but I guess he is just jealous! "Morrie Clark, Charlie Corso, Larry Nimsgern and myself were in Canada in June fishing. Morrie doesn't see quite as good as he used to so he didn't cast -- just fished over the edge of the boat. Guess who not only got the most fish but won the prize for biggest fish of the week from the camp - yep Morrie -- a twenty-eight pound northern. "Dick Barrows" No. Larry didn't mention this one. He tells stories, but kept this one quiet. They have big fish in Wisconsin, too. Now, hear this: "Dear S.I.H.: "Read, never hear any big stories any more. On June 18, 1980 daughter Pat, Sophi (Kosty) Fox (87), O'Days and I were in Spooner, Wis. Patsy caught a 32 inch, 10 ' inch girth, about 7 lbs. Took it to measure and weigh. They said it was too small a muskie to enter the contest. "Mm, mm". "Regards, "BobStoller" You can bet those are true fish stories. Fishermen who tell whoppers stretch the measurements out a lot more. Members of the famous "Liars' Club" would say they use such fish for bait. Power shortages bring out the old kerosene lamps if people still have them around. When refrigerators are off 36 hours, people must wish they had an old icebox. There must be some who remember lowering a crock of butter down the well to keep it cool. My parents had a deep cellar with dirt floor that kept perishable food in good shape. They had to call the game at Wrigley Field Monday because of darkness. That is the only ball park in the majors without lights. 'Couldn't every f^n bring a flashlight to meet such emergencies? Twelve innings were played with no score. So they resumed the game on Tuesday and it took three more innings for the Cubs to lose 2 to 0. What breaks my heart is having a batter, who had struck out four limes in a row, come up and hit the ball over the fence for a Giant victory. The Cubs aren't the only team that should learn how to bunt. It seems to be a lost C/teattue ~ Now there's a compact tractor with full-size features. The Satoh Beaver.
