Holidays always bring early and some head for ideas. Always said holidays are like garments. They creep up you. Think Frank Gans and Don are steering ducks up way from the river. Can't „ call those feathered friends * wild ducks. All they want to do '"is eat and loaf around. JR* Now they are advertising ^-'winter coats for the ladies and ^that may not be all bad the v» way cool weather persists. The gasoline shortage is * "giving motorists something to think about. In the old days, formers used to worry about the oat bin getting empty before threshing time came again. S' Sometimes a farmer had to Dorrow oats from a neighbor and pay it back after fcthreshing. No government regulations. Recent talk about Bill tpencer's flour mill on Crystal ake Road brings reminders from Old Timers that Bill's ather operated the mill at one ime. Before that time, the Hanlys owned and operated the mill. B Farmers drove teams from •roiles around, hauling wheat .to the mill. They sold some and giad some ground into flour to pake home to the Missus. Homemade bread was the staff of life. Bill spencer was not only a miller, he was known as a master mechanic who could uild or fix any kind of achinery. The Center Street playground as known as the clayhole, a mighty deep hole in the ground. Parents warned children not to fall in that hole because it went down to China. . They hauled loads of clay out of that spot to be used in making bricks. Tommy John, who learned how to pitch while a member of the White Sox staff, has turned in nine victories for the Yankees this season without a loss. Marie Yegge brought me a magazine article that reveals Tommy as a very religious man, a man who defied all odds by coming back to form after a disability that was supposed to end his career. Tommy must have more than a prayer to win nine in a row, but wish he would teach our Sox pitchers a few prayers. The Pittsburg Pirates aren't making my daily predictions look too full of wisdom at this point. Who would have thought the Minnesota Twins would be leading the Western Division of the American League at this stage of the season? As Joe Garagiola wrote, "Baseball Is A Funny Game". Funny, but fun packed for the likes o' us. Had a fresh strawberry sundae at home this week and it brought back memories. Bill Harnody, straight from the Emerald Isle, was the hired man on my uncle's farm and I was his shadow. We joined my aunt and uncle for a ride in the Ford Model T one Sunday to visit relatives in Elgin. Bill decided that he and I should take the long walk into town where he bought me a strawberry sundae. That was a first for me and it was years before I knew there were any other kinds of sundaes. Along about that time, I went down to Whiting, Indiana to spend a few days with other relatives, the Muldoons. Sitting on the front porch one evening with an older counsin, Tommy, I got the notion to wander across the street to a vacant area where a ball game was in progress. One big kid decided a stranger couldn't get in the game and roughed me up a bit. Back to the porch. Tommy let me know that an Irish lad shouldn't take that stuff and offered me a quarter to go back and hit that guy in the nose. The kid looked big, but the quarter looked bigger so back I went and did the necessary. With-a bloody nose, the kid ran home to Mama. When we heard Mama storming up the back steps. Tommy decided it was time for us to take a walk. That's when I ate my second strawberry sundae. Ah. memories!

Coming from a three-way tie for fourth place the first week, the team of Char Zwissler, Evie Castle, Jane Weiss and Toots Gerstad shot a 212, 19 under par, for a total of 448. The team of Nell Fidler, Lynn Schmidt, Kitty Evans and Dot Shadel combined their last week's third place score of 231 with 217 giving them a total of 448 also, creating a tie for first place. Moving out of last week's tie for fourth place, the team of Floss O'Connell, Faye Stewart, Frieda Miller and Jean Napier turned in 213 this week for a total of 449 and claim to second place. Duplicating their last week's score of 227 the team of Letty Busscher, Barb Weber, Ginny Spengel and Gladys Warfield captured third place with a total of 454. With the season now under way the golfing scores and skills of the ladies are im­ proving as evidenced by the number of birdies and chip-ins recorded. Nell Fidler chipped in on no.4 for a bird. No. 10 green found Nancy Wilkins and Betty Smith chipping in; and on no. 15 Nancy and Fran Herr­ mann chipped in. On no.6 Irene Kinneman birdied while on no. 14 three birdies flew up- those of Lynn Schmidt, Carolyn Harger and Laverne Harpling. Driving the green on no. 18, Floss O'Connell dropped her putt for a deuce giving her a birdie also. No strange happenings were reported this week with the exception of Sully Consago's ball bouncing on water to assist her in crossing the creek on no.8. With a grateful heart, Sully thariked the saints that be for the assistance. In their first team event of the season, the McHenry gals, gracious as they are, could not find it in their makeup to lose to their guests, Foss Park. They gave the north Chicago team a lesson in team work by winning 5-and-a-half to 3-and-a-half. With the weather cooperating, Ginny Spengel and her flower committee were able to plant their petunias and geraniums Monday and the golf course now has that extra beauty. Tuesday the 29th will bring the annual Flag Day event, so til then- Happy Golfing!
