HABMENINGS DEFEATED BT WATTLES 2979 SERtE8 A comparatively large crowd of bowling enthusiasts assembled at the Palace Recreation alleys to witness the match game between the Harmening five of Elgin and the Wattles Druggists, newly crowned champs of McHenry since their victory over the Pleasure Club five. They were in hopes of watching G. C. Campbell repeat his remarkable feat of bowling 698 the previous match but in this respect they were disappointed as the big boy was slightly off form and could gather but 58» pins. However, they did witness some bowling that was extraordinary for a McHenry team when the Wattles bowled 2979 pins to swamp the Elgin lads. , Bacon led the onslaught of the pins with 666 series, his first three games total of ovef 600 this y«ar, featured by a high game of 256. Kreutzer was right behind with 682 count. Harrison, arising from a sick bed in order to bowl, managed to keep his head up throughout the three games tut couldn't see the pins well enough to help the boys to gather a 200 average. The series compiled by the Wattles Druggists is tho second highest ever bowled on the local alleys, the Frett Brothers team, augumcnted by several Waukegan stars, piled up over 3000 to hold the record in a match game last year. . A challenge has been issued by the Pleasure Club five for a return match with Joe E. Preund and Glenn Wattles managers of the two teams, to take an active part. Joe will replace Hank Schaefer and Glenn will fill in a vacancy caused by drawing a blank.

CROURKK „ B«y, SciDnuii®' Our last Boy Scout meeting ended up our 1932 program with a bang! Twenty-two of the twenty-four members were present to1 take part in fun, fest, game and a scattered present Christmas box. The latter was made up by each boy bringing any kind of present with no one's name on It. These presents were put in a box. At a later period Ray Hughes acted as Santa Claus, except that instead of the customary way of delivering presents, he lined the recipients on a straight line in front of him, and made his deliveries via the air route. The boys in the line could not see the presents until they were m mid-air. At that time each tried to rescue his. If he succeeded he was automatically retarded from further competition, so to speak. The Scouts learned of a test-passing contest that started Dec. 19 and will end on Feb. 27, 1933. The contest is by patrols, so that a group, instead of an individual, will share the priM, which is a trip to Chicago. •The Scouts wish their friends a "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year." " M L.

P. as chief pilot of the expedition, and Lady Houston providing the financial backing, British flying men are plan ning to make an assault on Mt. Everest within the next few months. The highest point on thp globe, 29,- 000 feet above sea level, the giant of the Himalayas hds defied many gal lant Alpine expeditions, most of them retiring while still several thousands of feet from the summit. It would appear that the task before the flyers is fairly easy. The woHd altitude record, established In September by the British flyer Cyril Unwins, is 43,970 feet--nearly three miles above the summit of the mountain. Everest, However, lies remote In the heart of a mighty range of peaks, in a region where a forced landing would meau destruction and where winds of hurricane force prevail. Face Tremendous 8torma, The head of the mountain is the seat of tremendous storms; and vast masses of frozen cloud shroud the summit for many months of the year. The men who take off from a flying field In northern Bengal, at the foot of the great range, will know that they are beginning one of the most perilous adventures in the history of aviation. The British air ministry And the India office are supporting the expedition, and the Maharaja of Nepal, within whose territory the mountain stands, has given permission for the flight over the summit. A period of intensive training and flying trials will precede embarkation for India. Every member of the ex pedition must be physically fit ^o withstand the strain of flying above the mountains. Airplanes and engines must be tuned perfectly for the task; for mechanical failure will mean disaster. Negotiations are being made to secure the high-flying Vlckers Vespa plane with Bristol Pegasus motor which Cyril Unwins used to set . the new altitude record, and another craft of similar powers. a " It is probable that two machines will ascend together, one to make the flight over the summit, the oth-er to photograph the attempt, since an obvious difficulty is the problem of securing adequate evidence that the peak is actually flown over: To Wear Heated Clothing*. Both machines will carry cameras and it is hoped that the record thus obtained will place the success of the venture beyond doubt. The flyers will wear specially heated clothing and will use oxygen apparatus. At the time of the preliminary trials, or perhaps preceding them, Mr. Unwins may attempt to reach an altitude greater than the present record. He is confident that his plane is capable of another 2,000 feet. In a speech to his constituents, when he was asking for leave of absence from his parliamenary duties during the period of the expedition. Lord Clydesdale explained that the chief object which he and his friends have at heart is to promote British world prestige--particularly In India. He added that the flight over Mt. Everest Is the "only one original flight really Worth while"; every other significant part of the world having been flown over. He briefly sketched the danger of the attempt; one great peril being that fifty miles of the flight takes the airplanes over "Impossible" country. He explained, however, that he had given that aspect every consideration and had "no wish to subject this constituency again to the expense and trouble of • by-election.'* PRIZE POLO PONIES PERISH IN FLAMES Twenty prize polo ponies stabled on the Insull Hawthorn farm on the outskirts of Libertyville were burned to death early last Saturday in spite of; the efforts of neighboring farmers and a party of American Legion veterans to lead the animals to safety. The fire, according to reports from Libertyville, started shortly after 11 o'clock in the morning and destroyed ,the large stable and the twenty pon-, ies stabled in it. . Two other ponies ond four colts in; an adjoining stable wore rescued by a party of American Legion members l "burning from a meeting at Antloyh- These men had seen the flames,from their cars as they proceeded. along the Milwaukee road. . j At the big esta*?, now operated by the Northern Trust company, it was reported the ponies were bein< cared for by those in charge of the estate j for independent owners. t OilJ*AS:£ MINIOT -r * "j'."' » , ». > * w , ' - } - •% / 4r jlv Cards and Wrappings | Come to the Agatha Shop "McHenry, Illinois >1 V/J * f « w; • 1 Beware of Cold* Avertige Americans have three colds a year regardless of where they live and what they do about it.
