On that day, the Slo-Pokes Motorcycle club of Twin Lakes is sponsoring a Moto-Cross race in memory of the late John "Jack" Hill, Representative f/the 33rd District of the Illinois Legislature. "Jack" Hill was an avid cyclist who combined his enthusiasm for the sport with a determination to make it a safe and publicly accepted recreation. Ironically, Hill lost his life in a freak cycle accident last November 22 at the Hill Nursery in Dundee. The Memorial race will begin at noon (D.S.T.) at a course located at U.S. 12 & 15, north of Elkhorn. W.J.

The Jack Hill Trophy will be presented to the winner by Mrs. Hill, and gate receipts will be contributed to the Hill Memorial Fund at Pas savant hospital. Morgan said, "Contrary to the public image created by movie makers and an irresponsible 1 per cent, most cyclists are hard-working, concientious citizens. Jack Hill was a perfect example of the dedicated, responsible cycle fan." Morgan added, "We hope that all of Jack's friends inthe Legislature, business, cycling will attend and make this tribute a success.

And science has made this mysterious mixture easier to use and more efficient to operate than ever before. Most modern outboards are powered by two-cycle engines and so require a fuel "mixture," that is, gasoline and oil mixed in the fuel tank before it is fed into the engine. In a two-cycle engine, the oil in the fuel lubricates the engine as it passes through the crankcase and combustion chamber, reports the Johnson Motors News Bureau, so it is as important to efficient performance and reliability as the gasoline itself. Speaking of gas, most manufacturers now recommend regular grade automotive gasoline or 80 octane marine white grade gasoline. Premium fuels aren't necessary for top performance, and should only be used when the recommended fuels aren't available. "Tune-up" and "engine tonic" additives should not be used. Outboard and. petroleum engineers have made great strides in the development of two-cycle outboard oils in the past few years, and the oil-rich mixtures of the past are now pretty much marine history. The modern outboard -- from lVSrh.p. mini-motors on up to powerful V-4s -- now gets along quite nicely on a lean 50- to-1 fuel oil mixture (50 parts gasoline to one part oil, or one pint of oil to every six gallons of gas). Be sure to mix it right, though. Too little oil can cause engine damage. Too much oil will result in fouled spark plugs, balky piston rings and a smoky engine exhaust. These new 50/1 oils have benefits far beyond economical operation. They contain ashless detergents, which permit greater lubrication and cleaner motor operation, and harmful pre-ignitions are eliminated through control of the amount and characteristics of combustion chamber deposits. Most 50/1 oils contain a rust-inhibitor to prevent harmful internal corrosion when the engine stands idle for a time. Proper mixing of the gas and oil is as important to efficient motor operation as selecting the proper ingredients. With the three- and six-gallon portable tanks offered by outboard manufacturers, mixing is simple. Just put a couple gallons of gas in the tank, add the oil and agitate (shake) the container for a minute or so, then top off the tank and give it an extra shake or two for good measure. With modern gasolines and oils, the mixture stays mixed. There's no need for periodic shakings any more. A couple of other fueling tips: Make sure the tank is clean, rust-free, without condensation or moisture inside; and be sure to fuel up in a well-ventilated area. Today's outboard fuels are as easy to use as the motors themselves. Just follow manufacturers' recommendations, use a little common sense, and you can be sure your outboard is on its right "diet."

Warriors Whitewash Tigers 4-0; Last Game Saturday B R H The Warrior mound staff ^ threw a whitewash at Crystal Lake this past Tuesday on the home diamond by the margin of 4-0. Don Reinboldt, who hurled the first four frames, picked up the win and allowed the only Tiger hit, an infield dribbler in the first inning. Tom Janik finished up the last three innings stiking out four and allowing one pass. The Warrior bats were potent when they had to be, as we drew first blood in the first frame on a single by Mike Janik, a stolen base, and a run scoring hit by Steve George. Hie orange and black added three more tallies in the third inning on the strength of singles by Reinboldt, Mike Janik, Tom Janik, Steve George, a wild pitch, and a sacrifice by Steve Rohrer. Although we threatened mildly in the bottom of the sixth, this was to be the total of our run production for the day against the Tiger ace, Larry Reimer. The story of the game actually took place on the mound however, as Don Reinboldt hurled three fine innings after a shaky first stanza start. Janik* s job in relief was just as effective, although both hurlers were hampered by four errors committed by the orange and black defensive crew. Tomorrow, Saturday, we venture to the frigid lake front to play the always tough Warhawks who are breathing down our necks, one game behind. We likewise are Still in the running for a conference title, as Zion leads us by one game. First pitch time is an early nine o'clock, hope you can get out for the season finale.

PLAINDEALER PHOTO Two-Wheelers Blossoi Into Homes Outdoors By George Lavrock This year, more than ever before, highway travelers will see vacationing families rolling along with streamlined, colorful little two-wheeled trailers attached to their automobiles. At the end of the day any one of these outfits is likely to be parked beside a scenic lake, a cold, clear trout stream, or in the sand at the ocean's edge. And a few minutes after the towing vehicle has rolled to a halt, the camper trailer will unfold into a tent on wheels -- one of the most popular of all recreational vehicles in the modern campground. These compact ha.lf-tra.iler, half-tent vehicles, owe their success to many features. On the highway, they ride so low the driver can see over them in his rear view mirror. They are easy to tow and handle. Storage space inside them makes it easy to keep the car clean. Tent Trailer Magic And in the campground, the tent-trailer blossoms into a virtual Pandora's box of surprises. Typically, supporting legs drop down to brace the trailer, and sliding out from either side come large drawers containing beds already made up. Then lightweight aluminum bows lift into place and a colorful canvas top balloons out over a shelter that may be 20 feet wide. Here is comfortable living space for an entire family, even on a rainy day. This whole job of setting up camp is often completed in less than 15 minutes after a family arrives at the campground. Some of the newer camper trailers are provided with a crank. Give it a dozen turns and drawers slide out by themselves, and the top opens into position. One manufacturer has gone a step further this year, and for the first time, replaced the qrank with a fractional horsepower electric motor. Press a button >and you make camp. The next morning press the button again, and your camp shelter folds into place. Selection is Wide Depending upon his needs and the limits-of his pocketbook, a camper can choosefrom a wide selection of camper trailers. Prices run from about $600 to about $1600. Such trailers are usually good for at least 10 years of vacation camping. The more costly models are often equipped with wall to wall carpeting, complete kitchen units, built-in ice box, and a dinette with cushioned benches beside a big picture window. Zip-in plastic windows let campers look out but protect them from rain and wind. The beds come equipped with thick foam mattresses. Privacy curtains divide the interior into individual bedrooms. Pull Off Anywhere! Because campground operators still have trouble.figuring out whether to class these plush little vehicles among the trailers or park them with the tents, their owners often take their choice. In many western states, if there is no campground near, they can pull off almost anywhere on government land Because they have everything they need, they can set up camp wherever the setting sun catches them. Campers graduating into camper trailers must wire tail lights and directional signals to the car system. The trailer hitch should be a rugged one, and the type that attaches to the frame of the towing vehicle is far superior to a bumper hitch. A safety chain is essential, and a legal requirement in many states. Those who want to try a camper trailer without the initial investment can rent one from agencies offering camper trailers complete with hitches, licenses and insurance. Rental fees usually run about $45 a week, and some agencies will even apply this toward the purchase price of a trailer later. Campers today are towing folding trailers anywhere. They go i ast for the weekend, Today's Pilots Start Flying At 16 to 66 A girl in Morganville, N.J., recently celebrated her 16th birthday by making her first solo flight in a private air-, plane. On the same day, a 66- year-old Kentucky businessman who started flying just last year, took delivery on a new twin-engine airplane which he will fly himself for both business and pleasure. Although these two people represent extremes in age among pilots, neither is really unusual. A look at the age distribution of active U.S. pilots --now almost 500^000 strong-- shows that they are pretty well divided among the various age groupings. Federal law requires that you be at least 16 before soloing and at least 17 before obtaining a private pilot's license, but there is no upper age limit. About half of all pilots are under age 35, and the remainder range on up into their 70's. The under-25 group is the fastest growing. This age group accounts for 15 per cent of all pilots and more than a third 6f all student pilots, reflecting a rapidly growing interest in flying among young people. A heavy concentration is found in the 30 to 50 age group, but those over 50 account for over 10 per cent of the total. or they go farther from home and see more of America than ever before. . X Two Ohio Families Two Columbus, Ohio, families figured out a plan whereby both could take a cross-country camping trip in spite of the fact that neither family had time enough for the trip both ways. One family owned a new station wagon, the neighboring family a new camper trailer, The first family vacationed to the west coast with car and trailer, later the second family flew out in time to meet them. Family number one flew home, while family number two came home the leisurely and scenic way, living in the camper trailer? MILK DAY QUEEN CANDIDATES AT SPEEDWAY Rockford, 111. - When racing action resumes this Saturday night at the Rockford Speedway, following a two week cancellation due to weather, seven queen candidates for the Harvard Mild Day Queen Title will be on hand.
