Think most of us took care of the spiritual side. Perhaps the material side was overdone. And it's sure as shootin' that we overstuffed the bread-baskets. It all goes with the spirit of Christmas. If handling all that mail wasn't « nightmare, at least it caused Odd dreams in some cases. "Red" Winkel dreamed that he was playing golf with President Eisenhower. His pal "Ike" won the match by two strokes and was so happy that he promised "Red" a' new post office building and all the equipment one could desire. Of course, letting the President win was just & come-on. , Postmaster McGee stuck to the Democrats in his dreams. It seems that Ray had dinner with the late Franklin D. Roosevelt The grapevine hasn't let us in on what went on at the dinner, but Ray was probably offered a cabinet post. That holiday rush must really get the boys in a whirl. They hob-nob wi£h the top men in their dreams. Saw the unveiling of the new AMF automatic pin spotters at Johnsburg last Sunday afternoon. In fact we enjoyed the hospitality of the owners as we sat down to real Italian-cooked meal at noon. With Mrs. "S.I.H.," Mayor and Mrs. George P. Freund and Fred Smith, President of the Johnsburg Community Club, we gathered 'round the table with the Tomasello brothers and their wives for a jolly good time. It*>was in June of 1954 that Samf Louis, Dominic and Tony Tomisello took over the Bowling ft and its eight alleys. Since they have been working to put the place in top with modern equipment. that they have the new pin {spotters, the family hopes to air conditioning to provide sumjner bowling. Lap Freund joined our group in bowling and, rolled «tver 200 while the test * of tta ' struggled along, it was a new sport for our ladies and just as new for Fred, He had never fired a bowling; ball down an alley before, but was a good sport in getting the new system under way. r< Parish Tournament Box Scores PLAY FINALS M PARISH TOURNEY NEXT SUNDAY Johnsburg Defeats " Woodstock 43-38 In Overtime Game if. • j. .$• St. Patrick's (M) (49) J.

St. Thomas of Crystal Lake had to hang on in the last quarter to stave off the St. Peter team of Spring Grove in a 46 to 40 decision. Rooney's 17 points for the winners were matched by the same total by Jim Busch of Spring Grove. Spring Grove outscored the Lakers 16-7 in the last quarter as time ran out on a great comeback try. The only lopsided game. of the day saw St Mary's of McHenry romp to a 68 to 27 win over Wonder Lake's Christ The King team. Let's say that youth and manpower were on the side of the McHenry squad. Much credit goes to the Wonder Lake team for entering the tournament with an undermanned team. Fans hope to see the team back in future years with added strength. Duane Andreas scored 21 points in spite of being in the lineup during only two periods of the game. The red-hot battle of the day saw St. John's Johnsburg team edge out St. Mary's of Woodstock 43 to 38 in overtime. With the score tied at 37-all, Woodstock gained possession and controlled the ball in the final minute. They set up Dick Freund for a*£inal shot, but the plan missed. Lloyd Freund entered the game in the last quarter and sank four free throws to bring about the tie. The winners found themselves in the overtime to, put the game away. Dick Freund did a great job of controlling rebounds for Woodstock and also led his team on offense with 12 points. COUNTY PURCHASES $178,272 IN E AND H BONDS IN NOVEMBER Saw quite a Rusketbali game Sunday night as Johnsburg beat Woodstock in overtime in the Parish Tournament. Somebody wanted to know if Johnsburg ever Jpst in overtime or extrainnings. Dunno. But, they don't make a habit of it Three of the games were close so it looks like some good battles are looming over the horizon for next Sunday. As a preliminary attraction, the grade school teams representing the two McHenry parishes will match their skill in a game starting at 7 o'clock. A large crowd is expected to witness the tournament windup and trophy presentation.

Anonymous Mr, and Mrs. Norbert Yegge attd iron, Jack, and Mrs. Margaret Sullivan enjoyed a reunion of the Sullivan and Benson families at the George Sullivan home in Woodstock on Sunday. nwait* In contrast to the spirit of the past week, which was evident almost everywhere, was the one unbelievably mean act which partially destroyed one of the city's most beautiful Christmas decorations. A lovely setting, consisting of huge Dicken's characters made of plastic-rubber material, was erected in the front yard of the L. W. Kaeuffl residence in Country Club subdivision on Monday evening, after many hours of work. The setting also included several trees which had • been enhanced by huge red lights. Less than two hours after it was attracting admiring glances of passersby, broken tile had been thrown at the figures, which were marred. ., In addition, the bulbs had be^n taken out of one string of lights and thrown some distance away. The Kaeuffls were not so much concerned with the damage as they were the complete lack of spirit which must prompt anyone to desecrate anything erected in honor of Christmas. When one realizes that there are thousands of children who have never even seen a Christmas three, it is hard to believe that anyone more fortunate would deliberately destroy something so beautiful A JOYOUS GREETING FOR THE NEW YEAR FROM THE Id Bridge Tavern DON and KELLEY *-H FOUNDATION PROGRAM IMPROVES YOUTH CITIZENSHIP A grant of $80,000 from the Emil schwarzhaupt foundation to the National 4-H -Club foundation, Washington, D.C., will finance a project for improving the 4-H citizenship program, "fe.
