EARL WALSH So I Hear order Hill. to go down Snyder's Sitting on the Hanford back porch and having a nice visit when it dawned on me it is time to knock out another column. That time does roll around. Now here's a contribution to get the ball rolling. "Mr. Walsh: "Here's something for next Friday's Plaindearler: "He who goes forth witha fifth on the fourth may not go forth on the fifth "This has been a saying between a friend and I for the last 6 years around the 4th of July. Until last summer when my friend died. Here it is for you to pass on to your friends. "Anonymous!" Dear Anonymous: Thanks for writing. I'm passing it on and hope somebody will pay heed. _ j* S.I.H. Schoolboys of today are the same in some respects as they were in my day. Tney think the summer is half over when the Fourth arrives. Must admit the summer seems to be going down hill after the holiday. Friends are seeing to it that I get enough material to read. irry Seborg, w e than anyexxh who reads more than anybody, sent a real good magazine with interesting baseball articles. Ann Prince, a new friend, mailed a book that is a real prize. It is full of memories. ^ Mary Nolen introduced me to Ann at the farewell party for Rev. and Mrs. Ralph Smith. ' Our reader posed <a problem that had to be referred to Dear Abby or Ann Landers. It is right in their line. The fellow said he has a friend who has the bad habit of slipping in some uncomplimentary remark when somebody says something good about a person. Some people do that to make themselves look good. I call 'em 'TY*-b#"iy Bet" Abby or Ann will advise him to get a new friend. As John Looze would say, "With friends like that, who needs enemies?" The Fourth of July brings back many memories. Five or ten cents would get you packs of small firecrackers. Most boys strapped on a cap gun if they could get 10 cents together, plus another nickel for caps. How well I remember a holiday carnival in Wattles' Driving Park, located at the south end of Center Street Over a period of time, I earned a quarter and had it all in one piece. That piece of change was in my pocket, but squeezed until I finally broke down and bought *5- cent ride on the merry- round. I'll tell you right now -- once you broke a quarter, it was shot. While at Hanford's we drifted into talk of the County Fair, held every year at Woodstock. Before my pony days, my father used to take the whole family in a surrey borrowed from our Uncle Mike. Mom would fry up a big batch of chicken ana pack a picnic lunch to eat when we arrived at the Fair. While the "women Folks" looked over the bakery, home made clothing, canned Roods and all those items entered for prizes, my father took me to see "Big George" Vogel at the horse barns. Vogel horses were always entered in the races. It seemed to me in later years when we took our children to the Fair, one section was full of circus barkers. Never will I forget one long ride we had when I took the children on the ferris wheel. „ Somebody must have bribed the operator to keep us on the ride Way beyond our time. Around and around we went, with me hollering to let us off./ The operator looked the other way and kept us circling. The kids loved it j-s When the Model "T" Fords came along, our trip to Woodstock was well inned. On the way, we jve Bull Valley Road in On the way home we took Mason Hill Road. Noway the Model "T" could go up those hills in high gear. It is readers like Henry Mid Mary Mutschinsky who us encouraged. have the Plaindealer it to diem in Florida during the winter. Harry and Mary shared a table with John and Liz Nolan at Bimbo's Tuesday ive me an Irish to the Divot Dolls At MCC night Liz twfr (0 evening. Sports died some with the baseball strike, but there is still action in the State of Illinois. In this corner of the ring, we have Big Jim Thompson, weighing in at 2S0 pound. Across the ring, slightly outweighed at 105 pounds, is Joltin' Jaynie Byrne. Big Jim packs a punch so Jayme will have to depend on some fancy footwork.

Winning pitcher Colleen Przetacznik aided her own cause going four for four at the [date while also driving in four runs. Jenny Bellon had two singles and a triple driving in four runs, Eileen Douglas had five RBIs, and Wendy Schultz and Kim Amore each contributed two hits and two RBIs. Tammy Klasen had a two- run home run for Dairy Frost. Tami's Juvenile edged Adam's Radiator 0-5 scoring the winning run in the bottom of the sixth inning. Jenny Samen had a home run for the losers. Adam's Radiator bounced back to defeat McHenry Favorite Sport 3-1 behind winning pitcher Cathy Kupstis. McHenry Favorite Sport knocked off McHenry Recreation 7-4. Sport was powered by the hitting of Karen Kessler, Julie Erickson, Stacy Johnson, and Kim Powers. Erickson also led the defense with several fine plays at first base. Reasons for Running Health is clearly the number one reason why so many Americans are run­ ning. Studies have shown that regular, vigorous exercise can improve the body's ability to consume oxygen during exertion, lower the resting heat rate, reduce blood pressure and increase the efficiency of the heart and lungs. It also h e l p s b u r n Toomey ex cess calories. Since obesity and high blood pressure are among the leading risk factors for heart attack and stroke, ex­ ercise can coffer protection against two of our major killers. There are other reasons to run. Some people do it because they enjoy it, or be­ cause it Ijelps them get rid of tensions. Others do it for the competition, or to prove something to themselves. Many run to shed pounds and tone flabby muscles. R u n n i n g a l s o e x e r t s a favorable influence on per­ sonal habits. For example, smokers who begin running often cut down or quit. Other reasons running is one of the best and most popular forms of exercise are: almost everyone can do it. You can do it almost anywhere. You can do it al­ most anytime. It's inexpen­ sive. And, it's fun. In fact, it's even more fun to do it competitively in a Masters Sports program right in your community.

One of those days with a doubtful beginning made way for clear rides and a firm breeze as the ladies at McHenry County Club entered the semi-finals of their annual Match Play tournament on Tuesday the 30th. Spurred on by the briskness of the day, a number of matches were tight nip-and-tuck affairs. In Class A, a birdie on 18 by Carol Cooney gave her the win as she and Carolyn Harger walked off the 17th all tied up. In the same foursome, Dot Freund and Letty Busscher found themselves in the same situation with Dot taking one less stroke than Letty on the last hole for the win. In Class B, Evie Castle downed Char Zwissler and Dot Christiensen succumbed to Georgette Lewis. In Class C's action it was Betty Rode overCard Bolger and Mary Minchinsky over Fran Weyland. In Class D, Toots Gerstad overcame Virginia Spengel while the most tense match had Betty Wayman and Joan Scluoskey going an extra hole before Joanie took the match. Playing concurrently in the Consolation tournament Esi onneU went lerged the winner. In'the same Class - a Wakitsch took first place, Inez Burelli second place and Shirley Nye low putts. With competition being as dose as it was this week little room was left for some of the antics that occasionally occur. However, Virginia Spengel was seen exhibiting a touch of bravado on number 10 shooting out of die creek. Result: muddy garments for die laundry. Next week will bring the Match Play and consolation tournaments to their climax with a Grandmothers' tournament for those no longer in the big events. The following week everything will be just for fun when the gals have their "Hullabaloo". And that should lesd to lots of Happy Golfing!
