SO I' 'r h*' *5 by EARL R. WALSH On "8. a C," who Wss't ton heard from in this space for some time, spent a couple of meki vacation in McHenry- and joined us in a trip to Wrigley Field. We saw seme' "Good "field - No Mt" boys playing for the Cafes. Bat, the park was beautiful and the hot dogs delicious. Since our leanings are toward the White Sox, it behooves us to dose our yap on further discussion. To put it mildly, our Sox are having an off year! Our "S. B.

"Chief," remonstrated the tourist, "why don't you get a job in a factory?" "Why?" grunted the chief. "Well, you could earn a lot of money. Maybe 30 or 40 dollars a week." "Why?" insisted the chief. "Oh, if you worked hard and saved your money, you'd soon have a bank account. Wouldn't you like that?" "Why?" again asked the chief. '"For heaven's sake!" shouted the exasperated tourist. "With a big bank account you could retire, and then you wouldn't have to work any more . . ." . "Not working now," pointed out the chief. WW* 8PUK AUG.

To say that the boys had fun is to put the estimate on the conservative side. Rain fell late in the afternoon, but it's still an 10 wind that blows no good. The fairways ware badly in need of soaking. Besides, A1 Purvey got a night off from sprinkling. Charlie Lasch, one of the woodsmen, got all wet on the outside instead of off the inside. 1 Oh--there were plenty of amusing incidents aside from some serious golf. For instance,' George Klienhans trying to get away with clubs that didn't belong to him. j Then there was Fred Heida trying to shoot on the 14th tee amid showers of tin cans, ice, hotdogs and the noise of about 50 well-wishers.

M likis Orifiaally KMWR by ladlii tiimM Today the names "Lac de St Louis," "Lac du Chat," "Karefnondi," "Lac de Puans" and "Lac Tracy" sound very Strang*. But in the early days when names varied with mapmakers, they were just a few of those given to the five Great Lakes, according to the Lake Carriers' aasociation. When Champlain discovered Lake Ontario in 1615 he named it "Lac de St. Louis." This title remained as late aa 1656, until a map made by Crexius labeled it "Lacua Ontario." In the language of the Iroquois, "Ontara" meant lake, and "Ontario" beautiful lake. Naturally, the name stuck. Both the Erie Indians and the panther or wildcat inhabited the shores of Lake Erie, thus "Lac du Chat" honored the wildcat and the Indians --the early French writera taking "Erie" to mean'cat. Because of Lake Erie's proximity to Ontario, it would seem to be next in line tor discovery. Its shores, however, were ao Aarcefcr guarded by the Iroquois that the French did not gain access until 1868, making Lake Erie the last of the five to be explored. Before the French arrived the Eriea had become involved in war with their related tribe, the Iroquois, and wer* annihilated. Upon being offered some roast chicken, Sam accepted a drumstick. "Now, Sam, would you like some of this nice stuffing?" asked his mother. "No, thank you,*" Ke replied. And after a thoughtful moment added, "And I don't see why the chickens eat it either." WOftLD WISE A old farmer was talking to his hired hand. "I don't hold with all this newfangled stuff they're teaching the kids in school nowadays," he said. "My kid came home the other day and said they taught hfen that the world was round." "But the world is round," said the hired man." "See there!" said the old farmer.
