There will be exhibition skating by national chmapions. The Boiler Skating Rink Operators Association has grown to a large stature as a national organisation and is doing much to promote the sport as well as instruct young people in the art of skating. The nrst part of the evening will be devoted to instructions by Fred Wickam, nationally known pro. This should be a break for young skaters. Now, don't think this night i& planned for the skaters alone. The management would like to see mothers and fathers especially in attendance'. Not only will you get a better picture of this fine entertainment for young people, but you will see exhibitions by the best skaters in the land. Figure skaters and precision dance teams are sure to please the crowd with their graceful antics on wheels. , We believe this rink means much to our young people and sincerely hope that you parents will interest yourselves in its development. This alleviation has changed its meaning this week to "Veterans' Foolish Whims.", Pauline Pries says, "How about a little build-up in S. I. H.T" Sure glad to, Pauline. This local hell-bent-for-action V. F. W. group and their ladies are sponsoring an entertainment called "Veterans' Foolish Whims" at the high school auditorium Saturday and Sunday nights, Nov. 22 and 23. We have no idea about the play to be presented, but knowing this loci^ group we're betting that it will be a bang-up program full of good laughs. . Time's a-flyin' so, if you haven't looked at your calendar lately, remember that this entertainment is set for this weekend. Hm of flrnam at,. tfca scene of a Arc. MeHenry Township is plenty prowl of thelbcal organisation. They do a great job. OH. DOCTOR!-- Following ftn Mto accident this weak, a nearby newspaper reported die injured aa Dr. Cfcartea B. Adams of McHenry. Investigation reveals that the "Dr." is none* other than Charlie "Bud" Adams, who until recently was" employed in the Plaindealer office. As far aa we know, Bud's operations have all been performed on a line-o-type machine. He may have studied medicine in one of those "H easy lessons" courses.

' We want a r,eatl , BIG DAY-* They_ are_ „ thit big wedding in London on Nov. 20th. We presume they know that little "Pam" Bohr and S. 'I. H. are celebrating their birthdays on the same date. With the line-o-type machine broken down and no time left to run off scores, we are making a last min- {ute switch to get in a little story ion some of the top scores. | The hottest score of the week was j bowled by Shelly of Grayslake at the i Palace, 217-226-223-666, as the Lake i County team beat the Volo Bait Shop i 2823-2686. Gnoit hit 216-578 and i Pete Koob 203-148-275-597. Dick Weber can show Joe McOmber his 222-501 in the Forester lea- Sue. And to add to Joe's post ofce troubles, Winkel can toss out his 224-558 series. That Jones boy had & 210 game, Cristy a 545 series and Downs 206- 526 with the Old Timers. Allen Noonan's 216-600 tops the Tavern league; and we can't miss Repan's 220-575 nor Dean's 201 game. Whoops! Here's V. Adams with 200-576.

Smith | had a 184 game. I Over in ^'Canada," Schaefer's Alloys had a flock of good scores. Well pick as many as we can. John Widen led the Wonder Lakers with a neat 227-593..

Aileen Hogan wouldn't want her 474 series left out. Elsie Winkel is over 400 (426) and gunning for 500 just to keep honors divided in the family. Jim Larkin had a 201-530 mark with the K. of C. group. Eleanor Peterson's 174-451 was best in the Schaeferettes. "Hup" Smith led the Majors with 213-586. Richard Justen was close, 218-578.

Schaefers' Bowling Alleys will be! the scene of a big bowling match ' next Sunday evening at 8 o'clock : when a group of high average keg- i lers will put forth their best efforts ! to benefit the Damon Runyan Cancer Fund. John Gnoit, of the Volo Bait Shop, \ will join four of nis brothers to form i a team that carries an average of j 905 per game or 181 per man. That's ' a pretty sweet average. What's more, < there are two more brothers and the ' Daddy of 'em all who can take over if necessary. | , The regular Bait Shop team, con- j jsistinjar of,local bowlers will form the j .opposition and carry an 890 per j game (178 per man) average into i Ithe match. The match should produce some pretty hot bowlings > ( I Of course, a large crowd is ex-1 Jpected to attend this match and to : make their little contribution toward this much publicized and very worthy ' cause. As a generous contribution to help 1 .swell the fund, Schaefer Brothers will i donate the use of the alleys.--And ; along comes Bob Conway with an I offer to donate a portion of the bar I receipts from his adjoining tavern. I That's co-operation. ! McHenry wants to have some part j in helping this Caricer Fund so now I iis an opportune time to join the j crowd and take at least part in the ! i cause. * • j | These teams won't be fooling as j they line up to give you one of the ' j top bowling attractions of the year.

Nick Miller, owner of the garage will move soon into the new building from the quonset structure where he is now in business. CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Denman of Gurnee recently celebrated their thirtieth wedding anniversary by er'tertaining their family and friends at open house. The Denmans formerly made their home in McHenry where they have many acquaintances. According to A. H. Lauterbach, manager of the Pure Milk association, dairy farmers in the midwest are being pushed into an unsound financial condition despite the fact that housewives are forced to pay high prices for milk and butter. He added that the average dairy farmer is considerably worse off now than he was last year although the consumer is paying as much at retail for a quart of milk today as he did a year ago. It is his opinion that dairy products are some of the few food bargains available to housewives. # , In 1946, at this time, farmers received. $5.10 a hundredweight for their class 1 or fluid milk. It sold in the stores for 20.V4 cents a quart. Today the farmer is getting $4.56 a hundredweight for the milk and housewives are paying the same 20% cents for a store quart, Lauterbach said. ' Consumers should understand the dairyman's plight," Lauterbach said. During the middle twenties when things the farmer bought cost onehalf as much as they do today, and when the wages he paid were less than one-half of what he now pays, butter, for example, averaged 45 cents a pound wholesale. Workers' wages have more than doubled since then. Why should consumers complain when butter is selling at 80 cents wholesale?" Milk distributors state th$t housewives are paying as much for their milk as they did a year ago because rising labor and other operating costs keep the price up despite the fact the farmer is receiving less for the raw product. Milk wagon drivers last year at this time were getting $61 weekly on .retail router and wholesale drivers were getting $69.26. Now the route man get® $67 and the wholesale driver $81. Pay for foreman in one year jum" from $68 to $79 a week. Grain and stock farmers have not been affected as adversely as the dairy farmer. Their products have jumped in price along with everything else. This has helped offset their jising production costs. Even the poultry farmer has had a 25 point rise in the index price of his commodity. The prices farmers pay for goods has increased 42 points in a year. Thus the dairy farmer has been left relatively far behind in the inflationary trend that is bringing good incomes to many farmers- and managers and producers have found that it costs them more to produce a hundred pounds of milk than they can get for it from the distributor. A dairy farmer cannot drop out of business when it becomes unprofitable. He must remain and ta&e his financial drubbing. - HINBTY-EIOHT NEW INDUSTRIAL PLANTS TO LOOATE IN ami Ninety-eight new industrial plants or branch factories will locate in northern Illinois communities served by Public Service Company of Northern Illinois and three associated utilities as a result of arrangements completed in the first nine months of 1947, the territorial information department of the four utility companies reported this week. Of these industries, fifty-five are newly organized concerns, thirty-five are branches of existing firms and! six are shifting their operations to i the area from other sections of the I country. Another thirty-eight i already situated here announced plans. to move to larger sites within the j territory. Although the ninety-eight newly attracted plants represent a reduction of twenty-one from the number reported in the same period last year, they show sharp increases in expected employment and payroll. The firms will hire some 30,300 workers and pay annual stages totaling approximately $76,000,000. This compares with 21,400 workers and $53,000,000 in wages estimated for the 119 industries which completed negotiations to locate here in the first nine months of 1946. TheI increases are largely attributed to! the new Tucker automobile plant, i Included in the widely diversified | list of products to be manufactured by the new industries are brushes, { hosiery, gas meters, paper milk con-! tainers, mattresses, perfumes and i toilet preparations, addressing ma-1 chines, radio parts, electronic equipment, greeting cards, dental tools,' motion picture projector*, , carbon paper, and corn pickers.
