MeHSNRY CAGERS BEAT NORTHBROOK IN FIRST GMUU '40 SEASON Coach Reed's high school basketball team stepped out on the home floor and won the first game of the season last (Tuesday) night with a fourth quarter spurt that brought about « 88 to 30 final score. McHenry's starting five placed Joe; Jackson and Don Howard at forward. Donald Meyers was in the center spot. Jtiob Stilling and Dick Conway teamed up at guard and were in the Aril: game. The game was hard-fought, close, rough, exciting . . . and ragged in spots. The ragged part could easily be expected in the first game of the season. > Norxnorook led McHenry 80 to 27 at the end of three quarters, but failed to score a point in the last quarter. Coach "Mac's" second team easily defeated the visiting lightweights, 23 to 3. The visitors failed to register a field goal. Wauconda and Grant Next The teams will travel to Wauconda Friday night, November 22, and will play host to the Grant squad next Tuesday night, November 26. Fans are getting a break on tickets.

Mr. Fyfe then made the National Roll Call. We have four new Boy Scouts in our troop. After the roll call Scoutmaster Schoenholtz conducted a personal inspection. There were twenty Boy Scouts present which is a pretty good representation. Scouts, let's try to do this at every meetirg! All of us Scouts wish to congratulate two of our Scouts. One of these Scouts is Thomas Lawspn. Tom reviewed his Eagle requirements at the Board of Review. The Eagle is the highest rank in Scouting. The second Scout is Eagle Scout Glen Peterson who officially received the title of Senior Patrol Leader. The Scouts who reviewed Merit "Badges at the Board of Review were: Thomas Lawson, Birdstudy, Civics, Camping and Eagle Bjuige; Dean Mc- Cracken, Woodcarving, and Glen Peterson, Bronze Palm. This made a total of 180 points which isn't too much. If we want to keep the banner for this year each of us Scouts had better get two or three merit badges out of the way for the next Board of Review. If we all do this we can get 1,000 points which we have already done this year.

This was a beautifully arranged tray of fruit which consisted of apples, oranges, grapes and bananas. While eating our fruit we talked of the things we were thankful for. Many of the girls said that they were glad because they lived in a free country. I think every American is thankful for this. After this we worked on our pres ents. This week many beautiful designs were put on our gifts. We worked until we had the designs on and then we could go home. It took most of us until about 4:30. The ones who weren't finished stayed and Miss Larkin and Miss Bauer helped them. Betty Lou Kramer's patrol is to have the Christmas party on December 16. 'V Luck to youf . VIRGINIA STRATTON, Scribe.

War Experience • The pretty girl who played the heroine in Gone With the Wind got so much war experience there she is going back to England to put her experience into practice. Winter sports are here again! Harness horse racing, ice boat racing and professional skating will all take place at Pistakee Bay. The veteran horsemen, A1 Severinghaus, William Mertes of the Oak Park hotel and Pegs Behning of the Graysfake Arena, have formed a club to Encourage the above sports which it hoped will be of great interest to the public. I They have the World's champion horse, HaHoway, 201 ft, owned by William Mertes; Hollyroot Hunter, owned by Maple Lane Sfbck farm; Sam Woodford, 206H, owned by Margaret Mallan, who will try for the new record on ice; Bob Axworthy, 203H, owned by the L and L ranch; Royal Forbs, entered by Pegs Behning, and Sizzling Cal Dillon, a green pacer owned by John Spisek. Local sportsmen are tolting him to lead the •stretch. Many horsemen from Wisconsin, sch as Howard Newell, Bartell Bros., Mr. Krippen and others will act as judges, and the well-known stirter, Edwin "Dutch" Vogel, will participate in the greatest ice event ever to be held in this part of the country. The sport committee will meet every Saturday night during the winter at the Oak Park hotel, phone 176. For additional information phone Pegs Behning, Grayslake 5011. Many inquiries have been made concerning entries as valuable trophies will be of interest to contestants. The greatest team of pacers ever hitched on ice will perform, HaHoway, 210V£, and Hollyroot Hunter, 202^4, a real thrill. Races will be held every Sunday at 1:15 p.m., ice permitting.

We quote verbatim: "Average hourly earnings in manufacturing, mining and steam railroads combined increased from 20.7 cents in 1909 to 66.1 cents in 1939. When changes in cost of living are considered, hourly earnings somewhat more than doubled. The average worker in these industries had about 2% hours more leisure per working day in 1939 than in 1909. "At the same time, in terms of things a dollar could buy, for every dollar the average weekly pay envelope contained in 1909, it had $1.47 in 1939." (End of quotation.) This means that for 27 per cent less hours worked in 1939 than in 1980 for manufacturer, mine owner or steam railroad, the worker was able to buy 47 per cent more things. In addition, during this thirty year pfcriod, working conditions for the vast majority of workers were greatly improved. To sum it all up in one sentence, workers now get more pay for less work and do that work in happier and safer surroundings than in 1909. What more convincing testimony can be offered top rove that the Amercan be offered to prove that the Amereach passing decade, is creating more and more wealth for all classes--not said the farmer to a lad |°£y l°T investors and executives but who applied for a job in the poultry 'a,8° for the workers ,n Stories, m yard.

And more, this achievement was accomplished despite the fact that during the last six years of this thirty year period, government gave very little encouragement to Free Enterprise, in fact did much to hamper it. Isn't it high time for government to quit scolding and spanking business? No one maintains that our business "Has she her sofa and chairs decorated with bows?" "Yes, never in my life saw a girl have so many beaus sitting around her." Happiness Old Gotrocks is rich and stingy. In the event of his death his nephew will inherit his property. A friend of the family said to the old man: "I hear your nephew is going to marry. On that occasion you ought to do something to make him happy." "I will," said Old Tightwad, "I'll pretend that I am dangerously ill." and economic system a*1t was up to 1933 wras perfect. No reasonable person can hope that it ever will attain that idealistic state. But we can resume improving it as we did for 166 years prior to 1933. Take the shackels off business, let it be free once again and the gains for all classes of society during the next thirty years will make the progress of the past thirty years look small and trivial by comparison. OPEN ROLLER RINK FOX PAVILION ^ f ^ ON THANKSGIVING ^ ;! McHenry's youth will be happy to learn that there will be a roller skating rink in town for the remainder of the winter. M. C.
