"SO I HEAR" ?/.'• EARL WALSH ,jj A1 Barbian was telling the best one ^ajof the week. "Pink" Gorman was ill kliuid at home. "Ma" Kate sent "Mat- J|tis" up with some broth. "Pink" was "^having with* an electric razor. "Mat- ? rushed back to report that the •jjatient must still be pretty sick -- i^'be was taking an electric treatment pM*en rwaatheie.'^ _ » George Bonsall wis #* W tell tft ~^about their trip to Mexico. Very interesting. Most of us get the wrong impression of other countries. They teem to have no unemployment trouble |n Mexico. Hand labor is the answer. Machinery is scarce. About fifteen yean' 6imon iStoffel give a talk in which he jjointed out that we would see the day ; When machinery would play havoc / With labor. We discounted the theory as old fogey. Now, we wonder. r : Tony Freund broke ground for a ^|»nr building on Green Street Tuesday ;||fcfternoi>n and a crowd gathered to C,-Swatch one man, Delphin Preund, clevrly manipulate a big scoop that movmore dirt in an hour than a raft ipf men could move in a day with shovels. --1-- Modern machinery indicates progress in our country--but where are the men today who were the machinery of yesterday ? If you have a good answer, send it to S. I. Hi --!- Bill Spencer is .surprised that the column didn't diacttis ladies' hats at Easter time. --I-- It's this way. We have been trying to design new hats for the gals, but .'And most of the ideas exhausted. -- •-- t A couple of yean ago, we took an imaginary trip into the kitchen and came out with some nifty models designed by the use of pots and pans. Since that time we have seen everything possible in shapes. .• -- »-- Sometimes it seems that a hat must be tip-side-down. Very confusing. 'The other day we gazed at a beautiful fern and wondered. We'd set the flower pot on top of the head, let the graceful branches hang down, encircling the whole head. Then, we wouldn't know if the wearer was coming or going. Still, confusing. --«-- Sometimes a lamp shade or fixture looms up as a possible model for a new hat. Then, we stroll down the street and see that somebody beat us to the idea. --I-- Of course, there are many styles in men's derbies that haven't been Prominent among the gals. Cut, a |lerby up-side-down would catch & lot •f rain. --»-- Or, the gals could follow a custom of changing for every season.' It won't be long now 'till May Basket time. Use spring flowers. Fresh Vegetables come along in early sum- Tlner. Fourth of July firecrackers offer '§i possibility. Harvest time has no mits. Halloween hats could be furer developed. Pilgrim bonnets for . hanksgiving. Wonder what Mrs. fcanta wears at Christmas timet A snowball lid with icicle feathers would l>e a honey.' Oh, well. Sports writers give Johnny Paycheck little or no chance to beat Bomber Louis -- There are people in Johnny's old home town of Johnsburg who have different ideas -- Vern Harrison says to stay close to your radio Friday night--'cause Paycheck cant dodge anything dark -- Vern knows 'cause he threw ink at Johnny one day in McHenry high school -- A headline in the Sentinel describes the Crystal Lake train wreck as the "worse" accident •-- Don't you think it would have been "more better" to say the worstest? -- School officials want it known that George Frisby and fellow Alumni were big factors in the saccess of the boxing shows -- It has been told before on our sport page, but repetition can do no harm -- The boys want lights on our athletic field -- Lights are sure to boost attendance at football games -- 'JOTTINGS" -- of the -- OTC. DANCE f-Rgaa af Spring: , Billy Pries and Felix Unti were seen going to work cn time one day last week. Just getting back into the habit as Spring usually brinfa the folks back from the South. We just finished talking to Mrs. (Southern California) Owen. She informs us that the same couples that had the sleigh ride party last winter are planning »a hay rack party April 3 if weather permits. Just where the party will fide to was not revealed but she assured us that it will end at the K. of C. Dance at the Bridge Ballroom. Some people are going to make sure they have a table for the K. of C. Dance on April 3, and have asked to "have a table saved for their party. Coach Reed just came in and told us* to make way because he's going to see to it that the entire faculty be there. Here's hoping Mr. Schoenholtz ] gets the same idea, and brings the grade faculty. Joe Frett and Earl Whiting will be there with their campaign managers passing out cigan. TTieir hats are in the ring for committeemen at the next election. Among our reservations we find the city fathers have a round table reserved for them on the front line. No tfiey won't hold a council meeting. Just out for a good timfe. The only one that will be missing in the line-up is Mayor Overton who is spending the winter in the South. Plans are being made for ft malts contest with Lyle Franzen as chairmen of the judges. The contest is open to couples old and young and will be an elimination contest with a prize for the winners, so let's start practicing right now. • » limi fher Tha Bowling Notes creep into the column again this week. Hie force is ao busy printing ballots this week that «ur sport page may be cut short. --I-- Palace: To Herman Steffes: "How did you tome out ?frith Fox River Grove?" Herman: "Pretty good--4 out of 6." Then--"We lost!" Bill Wirtz went hot and Tough's Tavern split with Crystal Lake 3-3. _ McGee's lost to South Elgin Police Force. Palace beat a good Grayslake team Saturday night--2602 to 2593. Ed Smith's 612 with the Old Timbers looks like old times. Steffes rolled a mighty 648 series With the K. C.'s. (The boy has possibilities.) Darlene Loclcwood's 516 tops the #st of lady bowlers. ** I1 " -flSchaefer'a: Tappan's took two out of three from Meister Brau. Herb Simon's 216 was the best game. Joslyn's 588 best series. The ladies have a "200 club" with names on the blackboard. Gertie Barbian has a St4 game posted this week. _ Pete Koob is out in front for the three dollar prize offered by "Dutch" Bacon, Democratic Candidate for Committeeman, with a 665 series. "Dutch" is offering the prise' at both alleys. Marion Krause rolled that 640 series two weeks ago at the Palace--and what do you suppose? Gus Freund eomes along with 842. Not much more. No need of mentioning Paul Yanda's 85 game. It's going to be a big night fSlks. so mark. th^ date on your calendar rierht now. Here's a few of the activities that will take place. Homer Fitzgerald trying to keep his derby in one piece. Earl Walsh being agreeable with everyone. Mrs. Owen telling how So. Gal will beat N. D. in football next fall. Le- Roy Conway betting her they won't. James Walsh wondering if any one slipped by the gate. Billy Pries betting the giria ha can beat them in bowling. Felix Unti dashing from one end of hall to the other looking for more help. Melvin Whiting trying to enter the Waltz Contest. All the politicians trying to find out how the next election will go. And last, but not least, all the committees working hard as they can so everyone will have a good time. Moonshine History Moonshine has played a part in American history on more than one occasion. Shay's rebellion in 1786- '87 is a case in point. It is held not inappropriate, therefore, that an illicitstill, recently confiscated in one of the hollows of the Blue Ridge mountains, should be exhibited as an interesting relic at Skyland, in Shenandoah National park. The exhibit consists of a 75-gallon still, complete; nine 50-gallon barrels, three six-gallon buckets and one washtub. At the time of its confiscation the still contained 350 gallons of mash. sowuno irons ' PALACB ALLBT»' Schedule: Monday -- Ladiee' League. Tuesday -- City League. Wednesday -- Old Timers.

"You have been on the force for several months now, and never once brought in a case," he said. The constable hung his head. "Now," went on the sergeant, "the squire up at the hall has just phoned to say that somebody is stealing apples from his orchard, Go up there tonight and watch for the thief." After watching nfear the hall for some time the constable saw a man slinking along with a sack on his back. He pounced on him, opened the sack, and emptied a quantity of silver on to the ground. "H'm," he said, after surveying the spoils, "my mistake. You can thank your lucky stars it wasn't apples." . r Worse T%am Disease The old lady entered the butcher's shop with the light of battle in her eyes. "I believe that you sell diseased meat here," she accused the butcher. "We do worse blandly replied the shopkeeper. "What do you iriean 'worse'?" The butcher put a finger to his lips. "The meat we sell is dead," he confided in a stage Whisper. MARKSMANSHIP SCHABFERS ALkBTS Schedule: Monday -- Open Bowling. Tuesday -- K. of C. Tuesday Afternoon--Ladies. Wednesday -- Fox T<nke.

German 'Reichs* The First Reich was the so-called Holy Roman empire of the German nation, which existed until 1808 when Emperor Francis I abdicated and the nucleus of the Rhine confederation was formed. The Second Reich began in 1871 after the foundation of the new German empire, which was organized under Bismarck through unification of the German states. The Third Reich came into power in 1933 when the Reichstag and the state diets were dissolved and a new election called for the Reichstag alone aa a nationwide vote of confidence. Dr. Roberts' Stock Wattles D^ag1 Store. Remedies at 42-4 Among the Sick Patsy Schmelzer of West McHenry underwent surgery at Sherman hospital, Elgin, last Sunday. Fred Clifford of McHenry was taken to the Woodstock hospital with a sprained ankle. Mrs. Mary May returned to her home near Spring Grove last week from thf Woodstock hospital where she had been a patient for several weeks. Marcellus Thennes, route two, McHenry, is a medical patient at St. Thereae's hospital, Waukegan. ing in another creditable performance of keeping the bouts moving along in clean, sporting fashion. "Wally" Woodburn was also back in a judge's seat casting his trained eye on the fighters and rendering fair and square decisions. ^ In the other judge's chain, Lloyd Whiting ana Johnqy Fairchild divided duties. George Frisby and John Stangaroni were the timen. 1 These various officials are mentioned before going into the report of bouts because their efforts and co-operation are appreciated in giving Mc- Henry's school and community a boost in athletic endeavors. Larry Huck was back in McHenry's corner giving the boys the advantage of his many yean experience in the fight game. liiter-Schoo! Bouts Jimmy Wnterton came in at 91 pounds to earn a draw with Weber of Grant at 109. Difference in weight showed up, but Waterton showed plenty of class. Tommy Lawson out-slugged Robert Richardson in the second bout. Both are local boys. Sorentino won a decision over Diok Doherty in a clean-breaking fight that drew applause from the crowd. George Brda, who has shown to good advantage, failed to cope with Koskie's wicked left jabs and lost the decision. The Fox Lake boy rested his right hand until the third round, continually snapping that left to Brda's nose. Ah! Body Punching in the Bobby Schaefer started whaling a right hand into Wilson, of Grant. These boys were well-matched and put up a nice scrap. Schaefer won the bout, showing marked improvement in his boxing. George Jackson had twenty pounds over Richardson of the vieiting squad, but let an early lead flicker away to a draw. Richardson proved to be one of the best little boxen seen in a McHenry ring. In the early part of the fight, Jackson kept his left hand in Richardson's face so much that the visiting fighter had a hard time getting in a blow. Richardson, at his own weight, would be one heluva boy to beat. Franzen had only five pounds on the barrel-chested Sievert, but had the reach to pile up points. Had Franzen followed up on a couple of occasions, he might have had his opponent in a bad way. White, at 146, was too much for Dowell of McHenry, who gave away ten pounds. Dowell kept well covered in the1 first two rounds, but had trouble warding off blows in the final round. Donnie Howard swarmed all over Hoapidor as the bell rang, but found plenty of trouble before he got the nod over the clever Fox Lake boy. Howard landed harder blows as he switched frequently from a southpaw stance to the conventional. McCannon won over Postian mainly because he carried the fight. Postian showed no willingness to lead, but lashed out with vicious rights and lefts that would have been tough to take had they landed squarely. McCannon throws a lot of leather. "Galento" Weighs 21S Bud Adams at 146 out-boxed Redman at 213 pounds. Redman was the Galento of the crowd carrying a hefty right cross. Adams sprung from the ropes twice to land blows, but ran smack -into a left hand the third time he tried the trick. The big boy sat Bud on his bloomers in the third round just when Adams was piling up a lead. Adams won this decision. Burke, at 157, gave away ten pounds to Shkowski, but won this bout. The fight started as a slow motion affair, but had its moments. Too much clinching. Feature Bouts Bob Dom, McCollum Lake boy, and Emil Simon put on several flurries of action in their no-decision match. Dorn hit fast and carries some dynamite in his right. Might be quite a scrapper in top condition. . Lloyd Whiting and "Tuffy" Justen CANDLE GUESSING CONTEST put on an interesting, good-natured The candle guessing contest spon-! scrap much to the delight of local fol- "You know I would be quite a marksman if it weren't for my husband." "Why how doea he interfere with your marksmanship?" "Well, he ducks every tima." SCOUT HEROES !V<7;VV Johnny, who at that time spelled his surname Pacek, attended the McHenry Community High school from January until June, 1929, of his freshman year. He was a likable chap and held a wide circle of friends. His home during this time was along the Fox river near Johnsburg. Although, even in his wildest dreams, he never thought of reaching the heights he has gained, he was training for thitf big event of tomorrow night even in 1929 as he boxed with his schoolmates at the high school. When he challenged Joe Louis' heavyweight title, Benny Leonard, former lightweight champion, says after watching Paycheck fight: "Johnny is not going to rush the champion. That would be foolish. He's going to me ajl his spe<?d and agility, to give Lonis a moving target, if any. We expect Paycheck to befuddle Louis, to jab and hit and move away." This system would be required to beat Louis. It remains for Paycheck to demonstrate under fire how far he can carry out this prospectus. No one has denied that Paycheck has a stunning punch and although he is knocked down easily, he gets up and fights all the harder. Paycheck is quietly optimistic. He is satisfied that he haa an opportunity to win the heavyweight title. There is no quesion of his honesty and sincerity. ISABELLE FREUND BECOMES THE BB1DE I OF MR. MORRIS HOVEN ?
