V ""EARL WALSH' iVtat 1 - ^LAiNDtALEK - FRiDtt i, m, IMi So I Hear As a nice little boy ap­ proached me with a money can, I asked what the tag day was for -- "Helping Pas", was the answer, I knew it was "Paws", but had to hear it again Same answer: "Helping Pas". That is something I have been telling our Brenda was needed for a long time and thought with Dad's Day at hand the idea might have caught on after all. A card from Dick and Marge Rabbitt tells us "Ireland and Dublin not the same since we arrived." Might add, McHenry is not the same since you left. . In spite of rain and cold, Dick and Marge report having a great time and -- "People are just super". On Mother's Day, Frank Cady was telling me, with his wife and daughter in hearing distance, that Dad's Day would bring perfect weather. No way it could bring anything but sunshine. Frank's daughter took him to McHenry Country Club for dinner on his day. As they looked out the window and sunshine blanketed the.are§, Frank was still braggir All of a sudden the skies opened up and torrents of rafon fell " Now Frank has finally learned to never un­ derestimate the power of a woman. He is sure his wife and daughter sent a message up there. Note to Peter Wilt: A visitor came to our house and saw that book you left for me to peruse -- "The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book". The visitor thought I was in my second childhood until I showed him the baseball, information one could glean from the book r There is an old saying, old, old. which warns us never to judge a book by its cover. Sports Fditor Jeff was doing a good job, but was enticed to return to his home town, Burlington, Wis Will have to get acquainted with our new man How did I stand that job for 45 years before they turned me out to pasture. Changes have come so fast it is like the saying in baseball -- "You can't tell a player without a number". Must say these young fellows coming out of college with journalism training do a bang-up job Haldeman A Marathon Man by Jack McCarthy SMAW MIDI A NfWS SfRVICI ' ' M a r a t h o n L o n " Haldeman cycled his way into central Illinois Tuesday, right on schedule in his bid to break the double tran­ scontinental crossing r by bicycle.

The 23-year-old cyclist left New York City last Saturday morning accompanied by a police escort. The officers, driving in front on Haldeman. one in back, ran interference, escorting him through busy city streets and past intersections. "We must have run 75 recTlights," he said.

Tuesday was the "best day" of the trip so far as Haldeman biked into Decatur. "Tuesday was great. It was almost like a free day. But if we had the w'inds (as in previous days) I would have been working to r get here by midnight." The cyclist received a surprise on his arrival at a relatives home in Decatur.
