".. . A lot of water has gone over the dam in those 44 years. Somehow something always happens to keep me from losing enthusiasm for people, sports and a mixture of this and that. Guess they will have to carry me out with my boots on to get rid of me. Had a surprise visit from Grandma Shober, visiting here fr daughter (now Mueller), daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Art Diedrich. brought her to the door and had me guessing. If you ever saw a chipper 88 year old girl, she is Grandma Shober. One recollection was the famous turtle soup served at the Art Shober tavern located at Claremont Hill, 111. Rte. 31 and Johnsburg Road. Grandma met Fred Smith's daughter Marie in Tucson. It was nice to have her call at our house. It is Tuesday. The weatherman said it would be a 95 degree day. Only a cool 90 at our house. Met a fellow who collects old bottles. He wondered where he could find one from the old McHenry Brewery. They must be as scarce as hen's teeth. Anything can happen in baseball. The Pirates swept a series from the Phillies, packed their bags and came to Wrigley Field where the Cubs beat them 15-2. Just asked our dear editor Tuesday morning if she had seep Clyde Blackwell, everybody's favorite 89 year old. She had. To our surprise we ran smack into Clyde as he stepped off the senior citizens' bus in the ternoon. Clyde's only worry is that gets tired. Don't we all? It was a jolly group of girls who played golf at Chapel Hill on "O'Shoot Day" Monday. When we arrived at the club house, the golfing was over and the fun Was just beginning. to a worthy cause, the American Cancer Society. Our Ace Photographer, Wayne Gaylord, was Johnny- on-the-spot to take a picture of the happy group. You will see it in this issue. Karen Funk "paste up" girl at the Plaindealer, visited her uncle and aunt, Alex and Elvera Justen, in Colorado and had a great time. She was also happy to report seeing the Bryan-Sharon Klontz family in Lakewood. Have a letter from Sharon (one of "Earl's Girls") that I must get around to answering. Sharon says they love it in their new home. PICKUPS: The English language is funny. Tell her that time stands still when you look into her eyes, and shell adore you - but try telling her that her face would stop a clock -- O! Boy! --Smiles A flying rumor never has any trouble making a landing. The best things about some of the popular songs is that they are not popular long.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD It was 9a.m. and the sun was shining brightly across Chapel Hill Golf course A happy sight to the 117 women golfers riding carts and walking toward the 18 holes in anticipation of the shot­ gun tee-off "O'Shoot Day" - an exciting day of golf organized by a group of volunteers for the benefit of the American Cancer Crusade of McHenry County - got off to a good start! Shouts of joy were heard all over the course as good drives made their way straight to the greens and long putts slid into Sentinel Mile the hole. A few sad faces were seen as the little white ball hit the sand traps or flew out of bounds. but it was all in fun for the ladies who gathered from all over McHenry County to play golf and give their support to the Cancer Crusade. Two tables of bridge were played by the ladies who were unable to play golf Lunch was served after the nine-hole event. Each par­ ticipant received at least one of the prizes which , were generously donated by the merchants from McHenry -County. Ilavem Gregory, a volunteer for many years with the American Cancer Society, expressed appreciation to11 the hard-working committee for planning and assembling this enthusiastic group. She also introduced David Ewert, Executive Director of the American Cancer Society, he was more than pleased with the generous contribution of $1,400.00 provided by the participants.

The aftermath of Sunday's storm foiuid a number of trees and large\branches still on the course Tuesday. It proved to be a frustration to a number of the gals as their balls were magnetically drawn to the fallen limbs. Fortunately, with the situation being considered an act of God, no penalties were incurred because of unplayable lies. Had it not been so even higher scores would have been reported. Although she did not report in detail, Virginia Spengel did comment that many sad songs sung by the gals. were being One happy song was that of "Happy Birthday" as the Nifty Niners serenaded one of their group, Shirley Smith, on her special day.
