STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD tAKL WALSH " •tlV So I Hear Friday, Sept. 5 "Dear S.I.H.: "Over the years S.I.H. has been in our lives • it has been dedicated to the light and the oleasant. "S.I.H. is the only Vox Populi who will read me, now I am coining with negative and darkness. "Fifty-seven years ago I was as proud as any twenty- one year old over my privilege to vote. "This coming election year this unsavory stew that has been dished up for the helpless voters has taken away some of the pride, made voting an ugly chore. "One of the "Hopefuls" put up for our approval, can't open his big mouth without putting his foot in it. Another has given us four sickening years. The third is "for" ERA and abortion. There is not statesman with stature in the three. "My only recourse is not to vote. I wonder how many other unhappy voters will do the same? "Insorrow, "K. Brown" Dear K.: After all the humorous notes we have received from you over the years, this one shakes me up a bit. Must say there are many people in this country who share your feelings. Some writer mentioned that the best candidates are running for the Vice Presidency. My father always said, "All thing* happen for the best." So, vote. Maybe we will be surprised. Surprises are so much nicer than disappointments. Now that you have spoken your piece about our aspirants to the presidency, write again soon with some of that old time O'Reilly wit. Yours, S.I.H. From Marie Corso (assistant to George Halas comes this note: "We look good so far. Great rookies! Forget baseball, our Bears are on the move." Marie also sent some literature mi the 1980 team that I must study. Wonder if she wrote that note before last Sunday's game at Green Bay? Loyalty is a trait I always admire, Marie. Forflet baseball? It isn't too hard to forget the Chicago teams this year. But, baseball is my first love in the sports world. I will play the old record -- Wait 'til next year. Some men tennis players in the big time act like sassy little brats. Their loudmouth remarks to officials would get them bounced out of the game in some sports events. Recently read a story about bantams and bet most kids of today wouldn't know there are dwarf chickens. Our folks didn't think much of the idea, but we had bantams at our home when we were kids. One time we got a setting of eggs and hatched them out under an old hen. They were all roosters! We had better luck with chickens. Uncle Tom Walsh sent away for a dozen eggs for us and got a bakers dozen--13. Maybe he knew something we didn't know. We got 13 pullets. Anconas. Had never heard of them before. They laid big white eggs and could fly like birds. George "Junior" Freund hasn't given me much trouble this season since his beloved Cubs have been anything but spectacular. Now, "Junior" has gone so far as to say, "I have to give your White Sox credit -- they didn't have 18 batters strike out in one game". With both the Cubs and Sox down this year, it has been too peaceful* in local circles. Hiis rule about a man not wearing a straw hat after Labor Day is a lot of hooey. We are slow in making changes at our house. When Mazie Buss thoughtfully phoned to tell us Chuck Hiller was on a TV program, Alvina explained we didn't have cable TV. It reminded me of a time when a man came to our door and explained how he found our house. Said he met a young boy downtown who said he was our son when he sought directions. He related that the boy told him to drive up Green Street until he saw the only house without a TV antenna and that would be the place. At the time we thought a TV set would take too much Anniversary Htlp us Cmlmbraf* In Smpftmbmrl Wckk Shoes Crystal time from the children's study. The thought had some merit. But, the remark about the only house on the street without an antenna brought action. Don Weingart lived across the street and sold Muntz TVs. They were much cheaper than other makes so it was with our fingers crossed that we made the purchase. Couldn't sidestep our neighbor. As it turned out, that set lasted like the wonderful one-horse shay. Years and years of good service. So. The day may copie when we will go for cable. Right now some of the programs they tried to sell us would be hard to take. Every man to his own fancy. Just returned from an impressive program, the rededication of the John­ sburg Rescue Squad building. They didn't have much to work with when the squad was formed 28 years ago. New members have come along through the years with the same dedication - to help others. Bob Meyer, President of the Squad, did a truly bang- up job as the program rolled along smoothly. It was a tear jerker when Mary Debrecht and the Hetterman family accepted special awards. Mentioning that we haven't missed many events in Johnsburg in the last half century (or more), I forgot to add I was a mere child when it first started. ' The enlarged building is very well planned. Now comes a drive for funds to finish payments. Must congratulate the members and the entire community. Cooperation is the key word. Varsity Runners Take 7th In a Add of 17 schools, the McHenry varsity cross country team came in seventh place in the Wauconda Invitational last Saturday.

FOOTBALL By Pete Fritchie WASHINGTON, D. C. -- The pro football season is underway and once again fans must watch athletes suf­ fer permanent injuries and even paralysis in the violent American game. Europeans who visit this country are invariably appalled at the spectacle of ambulances in waiting, stretchers to carry off the wounded, etc. Pro football is the most exciting of sports, possibly excepting boxing (also ex­ cessively violent). That's be­ cause the danger of serious injury and excessive violence is always present. Spearing is taking a heavy toll, as is the "sand­ wiching" of pass receivers and other forms of brutal physical contact--and these aspects of football must be cleaned up. President Theo­ dore Roosevelt was the first to start cleaning up the game and the process must con­ tinue--until no player is killed or permanently injured in this "sport." All of that not withstand­ ing, the 1980 season prom­ ises to be the best ever. Can the Steelers make it four in a row? Can Dallas, without Roger Staubach, be the team it has been in recent years? Is Miami, or Washington, this year's sleeper? Or San Diego? Or the Jets? Or Oak­ land? Or the Chiefs, or Saints, or Oilers? Etc. And while on the subject, let's see more of the cheer­ leaders. Last year orders went out to minimize the showing of cheerleader charms. Why? That's part of the "fall spectacle. Why penalize the girls for being cute and sexy? a calendar of upcoming events Marty Zeller To Coach Marty Zeller, a 1975 graduate and basketball player at McHenry High School, has been named assistant basketball coach at New Mexico Military In­ stitute in Roswell, New Mexico.
