Of cootm, it took terriie urging, we llullj joined «nr Chicago brotherin- law (a Republican named Miller) in a jaunt to South Bend but Saturday where we joined another member of the family (a Republican sometimes referred to as our 8. B. C.) in witnessing tiie ^otre Dame-Northwestern game. Our S. B. C. was in a bad way along about 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon when Northwestern led by a 7 to 6 margin. She had suffered so much in that poll "upset" of the previous week and felt another shellacking would be too much to. take. Well, Notre Dame eaqe (through with a touchdown in the last quarter and our companions were heppy as larks.

Better Lines That election is dying a slow death. Newspapers, radio commentators and Just plain voters keep milling over the Results.. . Why! Balf the local City Council wore red carnations and smiles as big as a sun-flower when they walked into the meeting Monday night. Of course, there had been some friendly ribbing previous to election. | And we never got the real low down idi the lights going out on • the north side of our Main Street district when election results came in. DINNER one eventeg, (fed*!? Bernard Shaw was seated next to a striking burnette who complained to him ! "Mr. Shaw, you are breaking up 'my marriage!" "I beg your pardon?" murmured the playwright. J "I mean it," said the brunette. "Every night when I go to bed, my husband sits up reading one of your books and pays no attention to me." Shaw shook his head in disbelief. "I can't understand it," he said. "It seems to me your ^n4»s are jnore appealing than mine." . .v "'x i Dirty Gertie '" The gentleman stopped to talk to the wee girl who was making mud pies on the sidewalk.

Amazing Improvement A Scotchman visited the United i States and at first he could not un- j derstand the language, but in a few j months it began to sound all right | to him. As his job turned out to be a j .permanent one, he sent to Scotland! for his wife. A few days after her arrival in! this country She said; "Donald, how queer the folks talk here." "Aaaah," said Donald, "they're not so bad now, but you should've heard them when I first came over."

Need Rubber^Stamps? Order at The Plaindeaier, by Ed Murphy We've put our foot in it--both feet It seems that people read* one of the sentences in last week's column with meaning entirely different from the idea intended. We said that two of the fathers of our football players weren't very proud of their sons. That should have been read--aren't VERY proud." It's the way we meant it. The league is in the process of expansion. A central committee will be the nucleus of all the athletic plans. This committee will have representatives from all the communities in the area surrounding McHenry. > As soon as that membership is completed, we j will so inform interested readers. Ed Lay was asked to co-ordinate the ; coming basketball program and accepted to the complete satisfaction of I all concerned. If Ed's duties do not I c o n f l i c t w i t h h i s p r e s e n t p o s i t i o n a t ! Sears' store in Kenosha, he'll be able | to do the league a real service by staying with us. Expectations now have it that fifty to sixty boys will conceivably take part in the basketball schedule. Sixth ! seventh and eighth graders should be | eligible if they qualify physically and, have writtetf parental permission. The league is contacting several men of the community to ask them to coach a team apiece. Equipment will soon be ordered and practice will be called as soon as possible. We stress one faet. No boy will play unless he passes our physical examiua tion and unless his parents give their written consent. The final rules fo» eligibility for players have not been formulated. When they are ready all concerned will know them. No excep- j tions will be made for anyone once the j qualifications are established by the, committee. The qualifications, as in f o o t b a l l , w i l l h e d i r e c t e d p r i m a r i l y a t , the safe and well-balanced type of con- j test. Every precaution will be taken to > protect the boys. Accidents may happen, but many; will be averted bv the regulations now ! being formulated. For example, the wisdom of matching weights was demonstrated by contrast recently. Our football league, thank heaven, had no serious injury- in five hard games. But, in one game, an unsupervised one with i all weights participating, a lad in this; community suffered a fractured leg. We Wv;re certainly sorry to hear that and hope that l>y expanding league activities and guidance in athletics, we will be able to offer eomplet sport schedules to as many' boys as care to participate. In this way we hope to prevent un coached and unprepared-for games offering better games, better equipment, and OTQje sport and excitement for the TPT.TRKMTT DA1TOER IN HUVTIirO 8XA80N . KKVKALKD TO PUBLIC With the hunting season opening Nov. 11, Dr. Roland R. Cross, state director of public health, warned Illi- > nois residents today regarding the dangers of tularemia or so-called rabbit1 fever. • "Although the reported prevalence of tularemia la the state this year is less than one-third of last, the disease is likely to increase sharply during the coming months unless precautions are taken in the handling of wild rabbits, Dr. Cross said. Up to Oct. 23, thirty-one eases of tularemia had been reported to the department as against 105 cases for the comparable period of 1947. One death from tularemia was reported during the first seven months of this year. "While several wild animals, including sqnirrels, field mice and skunks, are known to carry tularemia, wild rabbits are the pnncipal reservoir of the disease >-in Illinois, being responsible for about 95 per cent of the cases in human beings." Dr. Cross said. "The disease is spread to man most often in the skinning and dressing of infected rabbits." Dr. Cross pointed out, however, that persons may also get tularemia by eat-1 ing' undercooked infected meat; by drinking water that has been contaminated by infected wild animals ot through the bite of an infected flea 'of tick. "The control of tularemia," I)r. Cross said, "is dependent primarily on tho precautions each person must take for his own safety." He urged hunters, ,housewives and butchers in particular to use rubber gloves at all times when skinning and dressing wild animals, especially rabbits. < T*Tr*» TVif Uwirm "" Hi-->HIsa v * s will etose at aaea Tkaaks«ftl^ - J - Sobcrita tor Ik» *1 NOTICE City water will be shut off (north of Pearl Street) about 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon, November 20, 1948, and will be shut off for about l'.£ hours.

The assembly, according to Dr. Kramer's translation of the inscription* fn^n^ OB six tablets and fragments, convened while the hero Gilgamesh was king of Erech to make a decision on an issue of war or peace.
