wm Januaryl9,1956 MR^S^VV * * - MdHENBY PLAINDEALER Pag* Nino Richmond Community News By Phyllis Carlson yr>l :fia .. Rotary News ^rLast week's Rotary meeting was conducted by Dr. Harris, the -Vice-president, in the absence of C. S. .Gordon. Since the president did not ask permission' to leave town, he has a date with the milk pail when he returns from tils trip. The meeting started and fehded on time and our Doc conducted the business session smoothly, as is his custom, r,Harry Anderson, the biggest fan in .Rotary, surprised everyone by attending the meeting. He looked good and said he felt good. Members know he missed coming to the meetings even if he liked the service at Memorial . hospital and the pretty nurses. He did say he felt a little tired. Bud Wendt wondered if the kind of blood he received in the hospital had anything to do with his raving a tired feeling. Pat and Joe Gruenz are taking a trip to Florida. They received a good send-off from their many friends, who wish them a restful Vacation. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Christensen will take care of the business while Pat and Joe are gone. Doc Savage was in charge of the program and since the speaker he had expected to present Wuldn't come, Doc spoke himself. He talked about his native Canada, describing northern Ontario, Alberta, their oil fields, Quebec and the French Canadians. He told of their excellent universities. We wish to congratulate Doc for two things -- his fine program and his now being a citizen of the United States. Jim Mclntee carried the ball, no, rather the milk pail, for Harry Anderson. The club should' have had a picture of Jim. What a hunk of man, doing "service above self" for Rotary. llow much did you collect, Jim, for the milk pail? Don Rawlins, a new addition, was present as Dr. Harris' guest. Don will look forward to his initiation, which includes the . goat. Being a kind of farmer, he 4jtould not have any trouble with u? four-legged animal. The best of luck to you, Don, on your new undertaking in Richmond Rotary. It is something to be proud of. Joe Justen will have charge of the next meeting. Members wonder if his subject will be. the stork -- has he decided to stay south for the winter?

RICHMOND-BURTON SPORTS By Par Ehorn Birthdays Dick Madden celebrated his eleventh birthday a week ago Tuesday. A new basketball was his chief present. Open House A week ago last night, parents of the grade school children had a chance to see. their children's work and meet the teachers. It looked like quite a few parents availed themselves of the privilege, but not everyone was there. 3*he fourth grade mothers served Cbffee and doughnuts in the school lunchroom afterwards. Mother's Club Party Don't forget the Mother's club party next Wednesday at- Hildebrandt's department store in Twin Lakes. All the proceeds from this event will help to pay for the new concert piano at the high school. Here and There The Women's club met a week ago Tuesday at the home of Mrs. Willis Gardner. Mrs. Albert Stewart reviewed a book. The Junior Youth Fellowship met last Thursday at the Lutheran church. They had some square dancing and saw a film, "A Home for Jimmy." The Couples club met last Saturday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Nafziger of Kankakee were at the basketball game last Friday night. They had a chance to meet all the faculty afterward at Mr. and Mrs. Har-_ aldsen's apartment, where they spent the night. Mr. Nafziger used to be the coach at Richmond- Burton high school. He and his family moved into their own home recently. The agricultural advisory council will meet next Monday at the high school. p Next Tuesday is the date for the Royal Neighbors and the American Legion to meet. I'd like to edge this paragraph in black for we regret very much the fact that Mr. Hora is no longer our postmaster. He served us well, and we are more than a little shocked to think that the kind of service he gave should be so illogically rewarded. What can we do to reinstate him? CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank all those who remembered me with cards, visits and other kindnesses during my illness. 37 Betty Madden CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank all of the wonderful people in Richmond for remembering us with such lovely flowers on our opening day. Thank you all very much.

Yes, that's right, last Sunday night at the Richmond high school gymnasium the Richmond town team Zephyrs really caught fire and went over the century mark for the fourth time this season. It was the eleventh consecutive victory, and the twelfth out of fifteen games played for the season. The Zephyrs were playing a good team, too, but every so often a team does everything right and nothing wrong and a good victory turns up. The Zephyrs jumped to an early ' lead, but never really got moving. until the second half, when they scored 68 points. All ten men on the Rockets roster entered in the scoring which helped roll up this high scored The 19 points is the highest score ever made by a Richmond team and most likely is one of the highest ever stored in this section of the state by any team. This represents scoring at a 3-point-a-minute clip and that is a lot of scoring by any team. The young Zephyrs also won' their game from the Doc Rex "seconds" by the score of 61 to 49.

At the close of the first half of the season, Anderson's was in last place, but for the start of this half it looks like this team means business. They won two put of three from Hildebrandt's, which they were unable to do the entire first half Andy was top man for his team with a high score of 203 and a 568 series. Harold was high for Hildebrandt's with a 536 series; Spring Grove did like Andy's team, they were unable through the entire first half to win a majority from Village Inn, the first half champs, but last Thursday Lee Lay had top series for the night with a 570 and a high game of 201. "Moon" Olson followed closely with a 210 game and h 530 series. For Village Inn, it was Gene Pickering leading the way with a 203 and a 551 series. Miller's. Corners had their troubles again last week when they dropped thre^ straight to Standard Oil. Three men from the Oil team had series of over 525, iFloyd Zarnstorf had a 211 and a 544 series, R. Swartz had a 539 series and W. Faber had a 201 and a series of 540. There were no 200 games fot Miller's, but Klemstein had the best scores for his team. <s®' Twin Lakes Loses 9th Straight Twin Lakes Recreation lost their ninth straight game and fell into a tie for second place with Ed Dicklin's. Both of these teams are now five games behind Borre's Grocery, who won two out of three for the night. Twin Lakes' three losses for the night came at the hands of the last place Wilmot team, which seems to be on the move and a^e threatening to catch the leaders before the season is over. However, these three wins over the Lakers still has to be classed as the major upset of the season. Wilmot, Ginny, 168-425/ T.L.B.C., E. Wirch, 175-448; E. Meisel, 430. Dicklin's, L.

Bob's efforts resulted in thirty-one points. His rival from Clinton for high point honors for the conference also scored 31 points the* same night when Clinton had trouble at Palmyra but still won. Chris tensen is leading the conference scoring by 18 points over Reede'r. The Rockets against College Hi looked very nigged at times, but still played g&od ball in spurts. Loren Miller had 20 points for a good night and is third in conference scoring. Ever since the Rockets hit 28 of 30 free throws against Huntley, the free throw percentage has been dropping, off, but maybe the boys have had such good leads in games they are forgetting to concentrate on the value of the free throw. . The Young Rockets also came home with a , victory over the Whitewater Frosh-Soph when they had one of their big nights, 52-22., Richmond (66) B F P L.

Bob Christftnsen had 22 points, Leon Miller w|as right behind With 18. The rest of the Rockets, Jarrett, Gunderson and Bob Miller, played a .tremendous defense game and rebounded at their very best^ The Rockets Frosh-Soph team won their ninth straight game in league play and remain in first place.

This recent drouth brought water shortages to 75 Illinois communities. Larger reservoirs would have averted most of these shortages. These findings are given in a year-end report issued by the state water survey division of the Department of Registration and Education. Engineers of the water survey have developed at Peoria a practical way of replenishing ; groundwater supplies. At the Peoria installation, chlorinated Illinois river water is being forced into the ground at a rate of 21 million gallons per acre per day during then operation. Heretofore most operations of this sort have been able to get a rate of only half a million gallons per acre daily. The report points out that its improvedmethod of replenishing groundwater can be used in many other parts of Illinois. Read the Want Ads. DR. HARRY A.

The following story with this theme as a moral has come to our attention: ,, "A man too stingy to subscribe to the hometown paper sent his little boy to Borrow a copy from his neighbor. In haste, the boy ran over a stand of bees and, in ten minutes, looked like a warm summer squash. His father ran to his assistance and failing to notice the barbed wire fence, tore and ruined a $9 pair of pants. "The ; old took advantage of the gap fl|g$ie fence, got into the field and killed herself eating green corn. Hearing the commotion, his wife ran out, upset a f^ur-gallon churn of cream into a basket of little kittens, drown* ing the entire batch. "The baby, being left alone, crawled through the cream into the parlor, ruining a, brand new $50 carpet. During the excitement the oldest daughter eloped with - the hired man, the dog broke up eleven setting hens and the ° calves got out and chewed the tails off four Sunday shirts on the clothes line. "Moral: Don't borrow your neighbor's paper. It's too risky.*!

And there can be no doubt that "good times" have a lot to do with this. But all by itself, it doesn't explain the sudden spurt in sales of the finest of Buicks -- the 1956 ROADMASTER. For it has always been our experience that folks with the wherewithal to buy any car they choose are apt to be the choosiest of all. So it seems quite clear that the marked, and increasing preference for ROADMASTER is in the fineness of the car itself. We can tell you why very simply. ^admaster starts off with all the virtues that have vaulted the full line of Buicks to soaring popular favor -- then caps that acclaim with a worthiness all its own. You sense this especial eminence at once--in the individualized styling of this gracefully'proportioned car. You recognize it again--in the quiet elegance of its custom appointments--and in the good taste of its luxurious fabrics and color harmonies. But you know it for sure in the lift and thrill and spirit of ROADMASTER performance. For here is the obedient might of the highestpowered V8 engine in Buick history --coupled to the flash-fast response and absolute smoothness of an advanced new Variable Pitch D\Tiaflow-- most modem transmission in motoring today. And here is Buick comfort, Buick handling ease, Buick roadabilitv, and the great Buick ride-r-each brought to its peak in this Buick of Buicks. In all truth, no man who puts true merit abtive mere symbol could ask for more than ishis in ROADMASTER. If that applies to you, well be happy to arrange an introduction. Will you phone us--or come in --for a demonstration soon? m JACKK OUASON ON TV O0 O O O WHEN BETTER AUTOMOBILES ARE WILT BUICK WIU BUI10 1HSM R I.
