* • " ' \ 25 Yr. Boats Historic Illinois Governor James R. Thompson announced last Friday that he has signed legislation allowing boats at least 25 years old to receive recognition as historical watercraft. House Bill 2S9 authorizes the Department of Conservation to issue an "historical watercraft identification plaque" for the boats, which must be powered by their original type of power plant. The plaque, when prominently displayed, also allows the boat owner to participate in parades, shows, and special events. A fee would be levied by the Department to cover administrative costs. The Department estimates that 200 to 300 boats could qualify for the recognition. The legislation was sponsored by Representatives Ellis Levin of Chicago, Senators Gene Johns of Marion, and James Rupp of Decatur.

STAFF PHOTO - CARL MOESCHE EARL WALSH' So 1 Hear The young boy looked like a picket as he marched along in front of a nice looking residence. The sign on his back read "PATIO SALE". Sounds much fancier than the common, ordinary garage sale. Following U.S. Rt. 14 all the way from the north edge of Chicago, we cut over to Crystal lake Road. Alvina remarked it was the best stretch of road we had seen. It brought back memories of when it was a dusty, gravel road. Our own State Representative, Thomas F. Bolger, was instrumentalal in getting the road black topped. 'Twas a big benefit for his district, As I recall, that road was constructed under both State and Federal specifications, costing more than the usual jobs. Seems like it paid to do the job right. Memories of the road construction are of the contractors using mule teams to pull the scrapers. With perhaps ten mules to a team, it took a real mule- skinner to handle the hardy beasts. Lake County was famous for poor roads in the old days. I covered the area in a Model T Runabout and always carried a pair of boots for emergencies. How well I remember a woman having trouble getting her car through some slippery clay after a rain. On with the boots - and to the rescue of the fair damsel. Wow! After she was safely out of the mire, she gave me a tongue-lashing about "my" roads. Another time I pulled on the boots and helped a fellow out of a low spot. When on safe ground, he and his light truck sailed merrily along without looking back to see how I got through. Saw the guy pull up to*a tavern in the next town so stopped to give him a few words. Woodstock got ahead of everybody in the early days. Suppose it was the State of Illinois that constructed a cement road about one- half mile long from the east edge of the city.

It was a survival test to drive from one end of the city to the other. "Biff Meyer phoned and wondered how some of those National League and Cub fans would have acted if they had suffered defeat in the All-Star and City Series games. He thinks S.I.H. held up quite well. (He must know I suffered.) There is no way of telling how they would react toj a loss in the All-Star game. The shock might take its toll. For me it has been a long, long time. Best laugh of the week: Cousin Melvin lying on his back in a hospital bed and telling me his surgeon said that bulge was all muscle. Just when baseball is trying to recover from 4he long,strike, the White Sox Have to blow the season wide open with remarks about throwing games to assure a place in the playoffs. That was dumb. If such thoughts entered their minds, they should have known better than to express their thoughts to the press. Just imagine how far such talk would have gone if the late Judge Landis was at the helm. As Commissioner of Baseball, he ruled the roost with an iron fist. Two fits. By Pete Frltkhie Both sides gave a little in the Magor League settlement. On balance, however, the players may have achieved more. The owners really didn't let the strike go long enough to bring high-paid players down to earth. Perhaps the owners couldn't hold out. But this was the summer when they had insurance to cushion losses, and their best chance. The next chance would have come at the end of the basic agreement.. But the owners added a year to this agree­ ment-extending it through 1984. The question, then, is whether compensation under this agreement will retain a balance in the league, and p r e v e n t r i c h c l u b s f r o m dominating play. Will clubs which get compensation players from a pool get enough talent to be competi­ tive? Only time will answer these questions. The bigger one is whether fans have been turned off. The best paid athletes in the nation, with the best pension plan, liberal allowances and bene­ fits, were prepared to ruin the season in order not to give an inch-though free agent bidding was obviously out of control and threaten­ ing poorer clubs.

OUTDOOR TOPICS by Bob Srewster 'MERCURY OUTDOOR CONSULTANT "BRUSHBUSTIN6" CHAPPIE One of the most unusual kinds of fishing happens in spring on lakes and streams where crappie are abundant. Called "brush- busting," it occurs where weeds and shoreline bushes are flood­ ed: Crappie move into the brush to feed, and when you locate a school of them the action is fast. A dozen fish from one spot is not unusual. Tackle for brushbusting is simp'e. A rig developed by southern anglers is favored by Mercury out boards' fishing experts. They use a stout cane pole to which is tied a two-foot iength of braided nylon line. A longer line will hinder the fish­ ing technique. Preferred baits are minnows, or a small silver spinner and a streamer fly. Slowly motor your boat along the brush. Holding the cane pole at arm's length, drop the bait into the water and swirl it around, then move ahead a few feet and do it again. The fun starts when a crappie strikes. Raise the tip of the pole to get the fish out of the water. Retrieve the fish by pulling the pole to the boat, hand over hand. Work fast but carefully; crappie have weak tissue at the mouth and the hook will tear out if the fish are handled roughly. When you find a school of these shallow water crappie, a couple of anglers in the same boat will soon be scrambling to keep up with the action.
