.^' r.* y . V - : r...- 121 - PLAINDEALER - JANUARY 26, 1968 Eppers Named Herdsman Of Year ( Continued from page 1) by the show association and the Ameripan Hereford association. * . Eppers lis associated with the Lost Valley unit of the farm, located near Richmond, as herdsman and foreman. He has been employed by the farm since 1955 and at the present time has 1,000 cattle under his supervision. Winning first place was a carload of Hereford bulls, whfeh later was judged reserve champion carload in the over-all judging. Third place went to a carload of yearlings entered by the farm. ' The local animals competed with thirty-three loads entered from throughout the country. Eatjh carload is composed of twelve bulls and later they are sold individually. Northern Pump animals were sold to buyers from eight states and Canada. The average price of each bull in the reserve champion carload was $3,000 with a top price of $6,000 for one. The average price for the two loads from McHenry was $1,800. This is the largest bull show of its kind in the world with a total of 783 head showing in sixty- one carloads. Vi®w 50-Acre Park Area Site ( Continued from page 1) FILL NEED Bolger said the completion of the park plans will fulfill a long standing desire of many people who have always considered the Boone Valley an ideal recreation site. "Several years ago, a proposal to form a park land district, which ultimately would have meant buying park land, was put to a vote but the referendum failed," he pointed out. "It looked then as though our chance had been lost. So we're very fortunate that the city not only is being given the land but that the cost of development is being shared also. The site is being donated by Ladd Enterprises, inc. Ladd also is paying half the development cost and is advancing the city its share, estimated to be $20,000. The cily will pay Ladd for its portion of the costs in $4,000 annual installments at no interest. Approximately 25 per cent of the land has already been dedicated to the city. The remaining property ' will be given to the city as the development progresses. Versatile virgin wool--for sweaters, suits, coats, dresses, more. Handy 4-oz. pull skein. "PLAY NOW", PLAN "Frankly, we don't know of any, other cily which has such a favorable arrangement to acquire a park," Bolger declared* "We don't have to make an initial cash outlay and we don't pay interest. We will be able to use and enjoy it-in the very future without worrying about finances to complete it. Development work is scheduled for * completion this spring. David Ladd, in charge of construction for the firm, recently told the City Council, that some area .may be ready for use by summer. Spring-fed ponds will be a major feature of the park. These ponds were excavated last fall and the springs were tapped. According to the plan approved by the city, overflow from the ponds will drain into Boone Creek but the outlets will be screened so that fish cannot travel from the creek to the pond. This will make it practical to stock the ponds witfc panfish and keep out undesirable species. Alongside the ponds will be a gravel walkway through ^ie nature study area. Picnic grounds also will be provided. Closer to the entrance off Route 120, the plan calls for formal gardens and an open area. "We can't say for sure what facilities will be provided," said Bolger, "but the general plan is that it will be a nature area rather than a playground. We hope some of the garden club$. in the area will be interested in assisting with the gardens. Right now, however, we're developing the land physically. It's a little too early to plan the facilities." The park commission's overall objective, Bolger concluded, has been to set up a plan which will insure the orderly growth and development of the city, together with providing a site that will be used by all residents and their friends. Kathy Bolger DAR Winner ( Continued from page 1) tizens. It is not a popularity contest. The original choice of three girls to compete for the title was made by a vote of the senior class. From the three who received the most votes, the faculty selected Miss Bolger as Good Citizen. Kathy will receive a pin and certificate of award for being named M.C.H.S. winner. She will now compete further in the state contest, for which a government bond or scholarship is given to the first place winner. The National society gives a $1,000 scholarship to the National Good Citizen winner.

Harrison Hurricanes. The Harrison Hurricane basketball team enjoyed a productive two weeks although playing an even split. Tuesday night, Jan. 9, they upset Big Hollow by the score of 40-31. The Harrison five were led by the scoring of Captain Mark Decker and center Jon Ducey, who each scored 13 points. Ducey also managed to clear 20 rebounds out of a team total of 46. A strong rebounding game and a lot of hustle turned Big Hollow mistakes into baskets. Guard Bob Habich chipped in with 8 points and Playmaker Roger Hansen played an outstanding floor game. Forwards, Dan Gallas and Jim Bushert continued to show improvement in rebounding and on defense. The following Tuesday night, Jan. 16, the Hurricanes journeyed to Johnsburg and played their best game of the year although in a losing effort. A strong zone defense bottled up ( Continued from page 1) sometimes are little more than strangers. A family feels each member must make a substantial contribution if it is to operate smoothly.

Forward Mark Decker and Guard Roger Hansen contributed 15 and 9 points respectively. Hansen provided the outside Shooting Harrison desperately heeded and Decker the driving baskets under the boards.
