IN HALL OF FAME (Continued from pag* 1) Nevada; Ray Woodward, of Montana; Richard Willham, of Iowa; and the late John Letham, formerly of Wisconsin -- brings the Honor Gallery roll to 64. Many of the people included are educators, old-time breeders, researchers, agricultural journalists, etc. Scott said he was one of only three farm managers named to the Honor Gallery. His picture will hang in the same hall as that of the late John Wayne, who was named to the Honor Gallery last year. "Actually, I think it amounts tb a way to tell you you're 6ver4he- hill," he said, with a laugh. Scott said he is still the manager of the Northern Pump farms; however, he does own a pure-bred cattle ranch in Julesburg, Colo., which is managed by his son. "After Northern Pump sold out their end of the cow herd (1978), I started the ranch in Colorado," Scott said. Born in southwestern Wisconsin, Scott attended the University of Wisconsin at Madison. He was working in Colorado when the 3,000-acre Northern Pump farm in McHenry was purchased in 1950. A little of the land has been sold to the Conservation district, but Scott still manages a 2,800-acre operation. CITY PURSUES CHRISTMAS PLANS (Continued from pog* 1) for this movie, simply make a pur­ chase at any participating McHenry store Friday, Nov. 26, or Saturday, Nov. 27. Another feature included in this year's Golden Christmas, is the home decorating contest. Chairman John Greener has announced that this year's prizes will include a Best of Show, awarded a $50 gift certificate to be redeemed in any Chamber of Commerce business, and a trophy, and two honorably mention awards, with gift certificates of $25 each, plus a commemorative plaque for those winners. Deadline for entering the home decorating contest is Friday, Dec. 10. Homes must be decorated no later than Dec. 12. Entry blanks may be obtained at the Chamber office, 1208 N. Green street, or at the McHenry newspaper offices. To be eligible, contestants must reside in McHenry School Districts 15 or 156, or the Johnsburg school district 12. Toys for Tots will again be a wor­ thwhile activity for local families to participate in, with like-new, good condition toys being donated Satur­ day, Dec. 4, from tai,Pvjn.^t the McHenry theatre, and Saturday, Dec. 11, at Pearl street park, from 1 to 3 p.m. The United States Marines will sponsor this annual activity that means underprivileged children will experience Christmas magic through the generosity of those more for­ tunate. Perhaps the newest feature of the "Golden Christmas" will be the community calendar of special events, which includes activities not sponsored by many organizations, and not just the Chamber or City of McHenry. Christmas committee chairman Keith Leathers said, "We want area residents to be aware of the many programs, concerts, bazaars and special events that are produced in McHenry every year during the holidays. A lot of time, talent, and effort go into these activities, but often, only those participating directly with an organization know about them. Many churches sponsor outstanding choral programs. The Choral club concert, and the high school's madrigal dinner, for example, are events that are right at home, very inexpensive, and provide a wonderful evening of entertainment. We want to know what area groups are doing for Christmas, so that the public can see a coordinated effort, and take advantage of these festive occasions." Deadline for contacting the Chamber office to be included in Golden Christmas publicity is Nov. 17. For further information, call 385-4300.

MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) tell her friends and acquaintances. What she learned was that she was not alone the victim of a ticket-happy department. Many others had also received notice to pay for an alleged of Ate lm*. , C- One elderly couple became so frightened they sent a check even though poor health permitted them to drive only in their home community of McHenry. There were other stories, too, and to Mrs. Creamer, a spirited lady, it looked like a shakedown. And so she did what she had to do. She returned the complaint minus the $23. Now it has happened again Helen Creamer has received another bill, this time from the Police department in Carbondale. It charges her $10 for "illegal violation" last July 17. Mrs. Creamer has never visited Carbondale, nor does she intend to. Her diary carried an account of an extremely humid day last July 17 and a detailed report tells of her activities. Since poor health confines her travels to within 20 miles of McHenry, and because no (me else drives her car, Mrs. Creamer was fortified to present her case. Apparently she did a good job of it.
