First came Larry Nimsgern. He's one of the worst Hefb Reihansperger crossed the hall at the American Legion Home at a Rotary meeting to sit across from us. He; never did that before. And he was all smiles as he poured it on. Met Bernie Erjavec Thur­ sday night after Wilbur Wood pitched a 2-hitter to give the White Sox a 4-0 win over the Detroit Tigers. "Wilbur got lucky again," said Bernie. No heart. It wasn't until Friday that we met Junior Freund, and we weren't looking for him! They said there would be days like this. Whoops! Let's not forget Joe Wagner, smiling all over. He's another one -- It must have been the largest crowd ever at the band concert in the park Thursday night. Word got around that .Jhe "Andrews Sisters" were a- comin'. With Dennis Conway doing a superb job at introducing the stars and their numbers, the "Sisters" put a lot of action into their routine. In case you don't know, the "Sisters" are Don Howard, Bob Adams and Don Weingart -- each with equal billing. They drew a lot of laughs and big cheers. to determine the person's age. In a small town you knew everybody and who was ailin" When they first started talking about the new 1650 acre state park, a man from some state department called on us to tell how wonderful the new park would be for McHenry.

Using 2 best balls out of 3 in the team effort. LaVerne Harpling captained her team of Nancy Wilkins and Sue Martin to victory, shooting 15 under par for the 18 hole event. Leaving no question as to who the winners were, next in line were two teams at 9 under each. They were Capt. Floss O'Connell,- Maddie Holmes and Evie Guntner; and Capt. Anna Johnson. Dorothy Freund and Betty Leight. They were followed by Capt. Marilyn Reihansperger, Ethel Koehler and Dot Christiansen at 8 un­ der. At 6 under was the team of Capt. Vi Turner, Carla Wright and Carol Seese; while at 5 under were two teams: Capt. Marilyn Bishoff, Maizie Stamer and "Dot Westergaard; and Ethel Conway, Dolores Overton and Fran Weyland. The team of Liz Nolan, Dot Baker and Jackie Victor shot even par while the balance of the teams ran into a few difficulties and were several strokes over par Low net for the day in Class A was shot by Marilyn Bishoff with a 72 while Catherine Bolger did it with a 78 in Class B and Sue Martin in Class C with a 72. Marilyn also had low putts in Class A using only 23 for the 18 holes (WOW!). A tie for low putts in Class B with 31 each went to Myrt Johnson and Mabel Smith, while in Class C once again Evie Guntner took only 30. That Evie is a con­ sistently goodf' putter - must have a putting green in her back yard ! In the Nifty Niners, Darlene Lawlor made a name for herself by winning the Mutt and Jeff tournament. If she con­ tinues in that vein she'll soon be giving her good looking husband some competition! Tied for low putts with 16 each were Carmen Fields and Estelle Sikes, one of our new •young ladies.

Seven McHenry county golfers survived rugged District tournament play last week to advance to the state finals of the Illinois Farm Sports Festival. t First and second-place winners in 11 events advance to the state finals on Aug. 20 at the University of Illinois' courses at Savoy. The McHenry County Farm Bureau first place honors were won by Beverly May, Spring Grove, in the Young Adult female class. She had a 120 for the 18 holes over the hard fairways and fast greens. One other first place was posted by the McHenry county golfers. George and Joyce Jackson won first in husband- and-wife with a combined total of 162. George Jackson had the day's best score with a 74. Second in this class was the other McHenry county entry, Bill and Virginia Hinner. They had a combined total of 177. Seconds were posted by these McHenry County Farm Bureau entries: Joyce Specht, Wonder Lake, with a 110, and Rolland Winn, Spring Grove, with a 40-38 -78. That score came in one of the day's most competititve classes-men, 50-64 years of age. You'd figure a 78 would be low enough for a victory, but Dick Warfield of Lake county fired a 41-36 -77 to earn the honor. One other low score for the day was a 75 in the Young Adult male class by Dennis Meadows, DeKalb golfer who was the class winner last'* year. Meadows had a 37-38 -75. Bill Lundborg, DeKalb, placed second in the class, 79. DeKalb also went one-two in another class, female 17 and under: Kathy Magnuson, 121, and Julie Johnson, 129. One of the day's hard luck golfers was youthful Dave Hutchison. The 14-year-old had an 85 in the male, under 17 class. He had five drives go out- of-bounds and had to accept penalty strokes, too; otherwise, he'd have been the class leader! An 80 won it. ^Norm Specht served as chairman for the McHenry county contingent. Larry Harris, Farm Bureau manager here in McHnery county, was one of the committee members. In addition to being a tennis buff, Betty Waytula, shown above on the new tennis courts at McHenry Country Club, is Prize Chairman for the Inaugural McHenry Women's Invitational to be held Aug. 14 and 15 at McHenry Country Club. Betty has announced that Prizes International is the theme in generalfor this year's newly-formed tournament. Drawing contestants from all over northern Illinois, entries are rapidly filling up, promising to make this one of the most prestigious tournaments of the season. Public spectators are invited, at no cost, to the gallery.
