Some of the gals have new straw bonnets, but don't know whether to string along with the old felt one more Sunday or not. But, the gals must be having fun. Recently we saw 6ne of them sit for ten minutes trying on and. adjusting one little number, then come out with, "But, I wouldn't buy a blue hat anyhow- I want a white one." Ayny salesperson who sells hats or shoes to women for a lifetime should be given a free pass right through the • pearly jjates. We were thinking of a> variation for that popular song about the dog. "How much is that hat in the window--the one with the wacky veil?" ButT^ really, after all is said and done we have more fun than anybody over those funny hats this time each year.

PATRICK'S FIVE CHAMPS Of LEGION LEAGUE Defeat Burton's Bridge 34-30 In Play-Off Monday ••"There's joy in the local Irish camp this week and well there might be. - 'Twas the boys of St. Patrick's, under the able direction of Father McGowan, who won the championship of the American Legion basketball league. They won it Monday night in the spacious MCHS gym with a 34 to 30 victory over the Burton's Bridge teani. And did you see that, crowd? Several hundred persons were on hand with enthusiastic approval of this sports program that kept grade school boys of this area mighty husy during the cage season just closed. As usual, Jim Copsell was the scoring a<£ for Burton's Bridge as he ran up a total of 22. Much credit goes to this team for a fine showing throughout the season. While scoring was better spread for the McGowan Micks, close observers will tell you that some of the boys who do not show up so well in the box score were the boys who actually played a big part in the victory. For that reason,- let's give equal credit to each player for carrying out his assignment , in a wellplanned style of play. In the preliminary "game Monday night, Coach Doran's fifth and sixth grade team of St. Mary's defeated" Johnsburg 23 to 10. 9 / You don't have to go telling everybody; but*' we're picking Jersey Joe Waleott in that ^e&vyweight scrap. • Maybe we should read the yapers, How come, we didn't hear •s much about LaGrange all Season as we did nbout big names that were knocked off early? ---====------ Glad we didn't bet on choices landed out by Tom Bolger and Verne Harrison., Can't ev?n remember the name." of the teams they picked. Guess they've lost their touch. ADDED NOTES -- Commander Herb *Reihansperger, of the American Legion, presented the trophy and made the boys happy with an announcement that the Legion is planning a party for all the players in the league. There will be about 100 players in attendance. Yep, They are going to eat. In addition, the Legion will present individual awards to the players. Guess the White Sox do have McHenry on their list. Wrote a nice letter to Blondie Karls asking her to yisit them opening day. "Muggs" says that's nuthin'. rhe Milwaukee Braves wfpte. to him a month ago. Mayor Freund bowled a 200 game last ,week and we didn't even notice. It may never happen again so we mention it now. DAILY PINUPS: Candor without charity is like « hook without bait.

' FARM QUARANTINED 0; An outbreak of scrapie, a fatal sheep disease, in the breeding flock on a farm near Seneca, LaSalle county, has caused the farm to be quarantined by order of Stillman stanard, director of the state Department of Agriculture. This is -the first known outbreak of scrapie in Illinois, Stanard said. The incubation period of the disease is about two years and there is no known immunization agent. Ohio is the only other state where the disease has been reported at the present time. In the past, outbreaks of scrapie have occurred in Michigan and California. NEW APPOINTMENTS Governor William G. Stratton has appointed Saul A. Epton^ of Chicago, as a member of the state civil service commission. The governor at the same time announced the resignation of Michael Greenebaum, also of Chicago. Epton, an attorney, served as a special assistant attor* ney general' from 1941 to 1945; The Governor reappointed Warren D. Moyer, of Springfield, to the commission. Moyer has been a member since March, 1951,, when he was named to fill an unexpired term."
