We are told that Alfred Weingart was a member of the 101st Airborne Division about 'which the story is based. From What we have read of the :01st, they were a fighting outfit. Have seen so much basketball fa the past week that whistles are itootin' in our ears. The Regional at Elgin wound up in a great bat- He between Elgin and Dundee. , Dundee put up a good game, but lacked the size necessary to upset the towering Elgin boys. ^ Elgin school officials were very CHeiidly to the press.- Nice fellows. When Dundee beat Crystal Lake we received a letter from a West McHenry "Ditto Duplicating Machines Company" asking, "Would you care to purchase one of our machines to make some duplicate copies of vour column of a few weeks back?" No--thanks! We must not look tack. •" The C. 0. F. basketball tournament brought sports tans from all parts of the .state. Mr. and Mrs. Andy Paluch entertained Senator and Mrs. Thadeus V.

Reports from the training camps add much -ttterest to our daiJy papers. The McHenry five in the senior division defeated Aurora 73 to 47 last Sunday night to win the finals in the C. O. F. State Basketball Tournament. By winning the trophy for the third straight year, the Local Court gained permanent possession. While tht' local five out-classed and out-sized the opposition, it must be recorded that they were extended ill both the semi-finals and finals to earn victory. The Aurora team lacked the size to cope with the McHenry giants, but deserve a world of credit for the manner in which they battled through to the finals. Ralph Shramer, State Vice Chief' Ranger, managed Aurora teams in nice style. The local senior group had their hands full in the semi-finals in beating Chicago Court No. (JS9 by a 79 to 67 score. The home boys started like a house afire as Carl Neiss hit from all points. It looked like a walk-away, but the visitors kept) driving. Mcllenry's guards played an important part in this game. Miller scored 13 points, Neiss 11 ar.d LeRoy " Smith came through with 4 points when they looked big. Joe Jackson scored 11 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter to make sure of victory.---------- On All-State Team Two McHenry Seniors were chosen on tlio All-State team-- Glen Peterson (Capt.t, and Joe Jackson. Bud Miller, of Johnsburg, was also honored on this team. Honorable mention went to Carl Neifig and "Honkey" Miller.

CHICAGO YARDS The, Chicago Stock Yards is out to stop the bruising of livestock Bt market. . T. F. Smith, chief engineer of the Union Siock V>'rd and Transit company, this we^k outlined steps thrt are being taicou lo remove al] hazard# in the marketing process that in years past have caused great ecoroniic loss. Truck unloading ramps are all being rebuilt to incorporate "stairstep" design, since it has been found that all species of livestock move more rapidly and .safely over step ramps whether loading or unloading. Through experiment, company officials have determined dimensions that are most desirable for each type of livestock. Reasonably safe footing is insured if the lamps are kept cleaned. Cattle ramps are of "waffle grid" concrete, rough finished. . New Material Where surfaces are of wood, as in scale platforms or hog house floors, the company is experimenting with new products that offer non-slip surfaces. The development of a new bituminous base product that offers non-slip qualities is in process. A special light-weight ramp of metal is being developed for the safe unloading of livestock from either level of double-decker cars. The entire yards are floodlighted to simulate day light around the clock. The new lighting is a big safety factor during the rush of .unloading livestock here at night. The streets and alleys are kept cloan the. year around with five big pickup sweepers, but winter poses. _ila_ special problems with snow and ice, and Smith feels the Chicago yards has them licked. New Method for Ice Control Ice control in tile past was accomplished by manual spreading of saud or cinders with a small amount of rock . salt. It was expensive both in application and cleaning up afterwards, and many sewers were blocked because of this operation. In four to s;x hours' a salt spreader now distributes eight tons of rock salt along the streets and alleys in controlled width or density. A rust preventitive is mixed in with the salt to control corrosion of equipment. Hourly contact with the weather bureau keeps the company posted of coming storms, and emergency crews can be called out within a few minutes to apply salt at the start of freezing rain or snow. After the thaw, the melted accumulation is picked up with the sweepers. Train Personnel for Handling Experimental metal pens with mangers^ and, troughs constructed of various new materials,' which minimize dangerous projections, sharp edges and corners, are now being tested. The entire force of livestock handlers has been given a training course in bruise-free handling of stock. This program will be extended to commission men and their employees, haulers and even to farm people who ship to the Chicago market. Only canvas flap pers are of stock. B09 SHOW Only a few days remain tor purebred dog owners to register entries for the coming 10th annual International Dog Show. . The deadline for entries is Monday, March 13. Exhibitors should mail their entry forms to show headquarters, 840 Exchange. Ave., Chicago 9. The Bliow is set for March 25 and 26 in the Amphitheatre. Officials are hoping for a turnout of over 2.000 dogs to make it a record snow for Chicago. 1 Many single exhibits from Chicago area people who own purebred dogB for pets are expected to swell the total entrv list this >sar. Nearly a hundred breeds of dogs from coast to coast and Canada fill the giant two wings of the Amphitheatre during the two day show. Generous cash prizes and 161 sterling silver trophies await the winners in the various classes for conformation and obedience. In addition, field and water trials for gun dogs, the only such competition at any dog show in the country; children's handling classes and a Junior Dog Judging Contest for boys and girlg are included on the program.

To be known as the "Chicago Fair of 1950," it will use as its site the exposition grounds on the shores of Lake Michigan utilized in 1948 and 1949 by the Railroad Fair that in its two-year run attracted 5,269,471 paying specUttowi. _ from all over the country. In scope of plan the new fair promises to be the most pretentious exposition staged in Chicago since the Century of Progress world's fair in 1933 and i934. Unlike the more recent Railroad Fair, which was confined in theme to a one-industry basis, the 19.r»0 project will go into every phase of commerce, industry, agriculture and science that has contributed to the American way of life. Prime emphasis will be laid on what'their latest developments may . be expected to contribute in even higher standards in American living. The broad gauge of the new fair is indicated in the fact thait more than 300 of 'the country's best known industries and other institutions have been invited as candidates for the thirty major exhibit areas in the fair's plan. To be directed by Crosby M. Kelly, 32-year-old producer who managed the 1949 Ford automobile debut at the Waldorf-Astoria that drew more than 250,000 spectators in six days, 'the Chicago Fair of 1950 will open June 24 and run through Labor Day. According to Kelly, the broad program planned will necessitate a wide number of major additions to the former Railroad Fair facilities. To the twenty-five exhibition buildings and other structures remaining from 1949, it is now proposed to add at least eighteen totally new exposition halls. The majority will be located along an Avenue of Kxpositions situated at the section of the fair's 55-acre tract used during the past two summers for the showing of the world's most modern railroad trains. Another group will be erected at the north end of the fair property, assuring a mile-long series of exposition features along the lake front. Following the same pattern ot balancing educational exhibitions with mammoth features of a spectacular entertainment character that have always marked Chicago fairs, the industrial displays will be separated at frequent intervals by more theatrical attractions. Outstanding will be a pagant depicting the glories of America's heritage. It will be presented in the 6,000-seat outdoor theatre used the last two years for "Wheels ARolling", the pagant that broke all modern records with a collective audience of 2,705,251 in its 175- day, two-year run. The pagant stage, measuring 450 by 120 feet, is said to be the largest in America. As it stands now, before construction of new buildings or the sizeable funds to be alloted for the individual displays of this year's exhibitors, Chicago's 1950 fair represents an investment of more than $2,500,000. Of this, more than $1,500,000 is involved in the exhisting structures and permanent plant improvements inherited from the Railroad Fair. The balance, contributed to get the new exposition into operation, is a cash underwriting fund subscribed by Chicago's leading business concerns. While the fair is beinj: conducted by a special commission appointed by Chicago's Mayor Kennelly, no tax or other public funds are entailed in its production. Anticipating widespread interest from vacationists and other summer visitors to Chicago, the man agement of the Tiew fair is making one of its first "objectives a size able addition to its automobile parking space. This precaution is being taken to guard against a recurrance of those record days last year when crowds of more than 70,000 thronged the grounds making it necessary to turn awav thousands of cars, many of which came from communities hundreds of miles, away.
