In McHenry. the Shamrocks will be hosts to the Crystal Lake Boosters as they start on their way in defense of the championship won last season. The McHenry Merchants will travel to Dundee for tlieir first game in league competition.

It will take a couple of games to get a line on the boys. We are surprised at the large number of local boys who want to play ball. Beems like "Shorty" Long has the idea. He suggests a "B" league to give those fellows a chance. With a chance to play, some of those fellows can develop and move into the "A" bracket. Maybe each county league could have a farm club. Sounds logical. Manager Harold will probably do some substituting nexT Sunday in an effort to find out who's who and what he can do. You can bet that Harold's team will hustle. That's the way he played ball. . Nobody has phoned since the So* won a ball game. But, it was rough for a few days. The Kiwanis and Business Men c&mbined to sponsor a real nice Athletic Banquet last Thursday night at the high school. The meal ami service drew praise. So did this program. Father Baumhofer toastmastered the program through in grand atyle. Bill Barrett, Notre Dame halfback star, took the fancy of the crowd, modestly calling atten tion to the play of his teammates Some guy tried to tell us his flaMe isn't Barrett. Sez he, "Aw-- I know those Notre Dame foot ball players. His name's Barrot altl." m Nope, it's •• Barrett. Bill brought his mother and dad to the ban quet. Fred Rogers used to play high school football with the sen lor Barrett at Oak Park under Bob Zuppke'n watchful eye.

Johnsburg will make Its bid for honors in the coming season. Woodstock will furnish the opposition next Sunday for the season opener. The pitching staff seems sound with Willie Klapperich and the newly acquired Jonny Sanders. After school is oue "Ozzie" Jackson may see some aotion also. With the loss of Howie Freund at second, it will take a lot to fill the spot. Although with some development of the younger set, things shoufH shape up nicely. To size up the Tigers, come out next Sunday and see the action. Remember game time 2:00 P.M. at Johnsburg against Woodstock.

Dipping Paint BiN*H Brushes should not be dipped too deeply into paint--just far enough so that, after tapping or "wiping" lightly against the inner side of the container, they will carry the paint to the job without dripping. Dipping too deep not only wastes paint, but soon makes a brush "lousy" by causing a collection of hardehed paint to accumulate at the "heel" of the brush.

GM watches closely color preferences of car buyers which vary widely from one section of the country to another, so that it may be guided in future color, selections. Dark blues and blacks were most popular in northern zones last yeaT, with greens, greys and reds following in;that order of preference. The extent to which GM goes in testing the national "color pulse" was dramatically revealed in a series of exhibits at its "Mid-Century Motorama" in New York City.

Columbus discovered them playing with rubber balls. It was not until 1770 that Dr. Joseph Priestly gave it the name of 'Jobber." He found that the gum^-emoved pencil marks. But Europeans found rubber too sticky in hot weather and too brittle in cold. Charles Goodyear, Yankee inventor, invented the vulcanizing process in 1839. After that the rubber industry boomed.
