It is that in-between season for fjports activity. ' , - - ...Through last week we were crowded with basketball box •CoreS and stories. -Tournaments, have come arid gone. Baseball hasn't started except for the big timers who. train in the sunny climates. Maybe we should welcome this rest to catch our breath before the summer sports activity gets Into full swing. PROTECT OUR N ATION'S YOUTH LEAGUE By Bill Bolger -- McHenry Recreation -- D. of A -- - I. Thompson, 442; A. Wilcox, 505; G. Barbian, 177-435; A. Gatilke, 439; M. Thennes, 430. Left Overs-- N.

It won't be long before our desk is cluttered with County League, Little League, Pony League, tennis, golf, Softball and all the sports ' activities that make McHenry area a busy place. Our specialty Columnists have taken over various phases of sport to give you readers what we think you like -- a widespread coverage. That was a great finish to the state basketball tournament after some games that were not too close. We enjoyed watching Oak Park, but once again we saw good big men outdo good little (only 6-footers) men. The bank crew had us confused as usual. Tom Bolger picked Edwardsville. Vern Harrison claims he picked Rockford. We picked Dunbar. Larry Stilling will manage the Shamrocks again this season and hopes to come up with a contender. Haven't talked to Joe Frett lately, but feel sure he will have things all figured out to give Johnsburg another good ball club. Our White Sox may go places if Minoso and Aparicio quit running into each other. We think Stan Hack is a real nice fellow and really hope he has a team to go with that beautiful ball park. - There is a plan, cooking to have Ralph Patzke and the University of Illinois "Gizz Kids" appear in McHenry. These boys play basketball in wheel chairs and are said to be very tricky at shifting around the floor. Getting a date set has been a bit of a problem. We should have definite information next week. The boys hoped to appear here before Easter, but too many conflicts in local schedules have caused a delay. Watch for this treat. It will be something different to watch. Does anybody know where we can get one of those booklets which were printed at the time of McHenry's Centennial? at BOWLING MEETING -- Bowlers, attention! Next Sunday, March 25, 2:30 P. M., all bowlers are going to meet in the V. F. W. club rooms to further the progress of the city bowling association. . Three members of the A.B.C. of Milwaukee will be present to assist with organization operation. Letters have been sent to the president and secretary of each league. Appoint yourself as a committee of one to be present. Bowling must keep rolling. There isn't too much to report on Pony League this week, so I'm jjping to include just a little about each of the other phases of baseball in this column. On Friday of" this week there will be an important meeting of McHenry's Little League officers. This meeting will be to determine the boundary lines of Little League and to fill out the application for a franchise. Crystal Lake and Wauconda are co6perating with us to make sure that we don't overlap boundaries. Sometime in April we are going to have a meeting for all adults interested in setting up a Pony League in this community. Anyone who would like to attend this meeting, please contact me and I will see that you are notified as to the time and place of the Pony League mfeet-, ing. Plans for the Junior Legion team are progressing as per usual. This , team has been playing for a number of years so there is not a big problem of organizing as with some groups. Larry Stilling is going to manage the Shamrocks again this year. He hopes that within a few years there will be enough McHenry boys interested in regulation baseball so that he can1 field a team with all local talent. It might be well to note here that the time and money involved in running a team in the County League is quite an amount. If Larry and the boys will spend the time to keep a team in the league, maybe some of the rest of us can remember to give the team a little financial boost now and then. It is, after all, a commanding duty for all of us to see that the youth of our community have the opportunity to select wholesome activities. Commercial-- V. Adams, 203-562; E. Kroncke, 537.; R.

Music is the satisfying medium thru which every human emotion may be felt. It's fun to make friends, exciting and new, but the best friends of all are those tried and yet true. Better a corner in the sun than a kingdom1 in the shade. CARD OF THANKS I would like to take this means of thanking those who sent me cards and offered prayers in my behalf at the time of my accident and during my stay in the hospital. These kindnesses were very much appreciated. *46 Ella Buss Well, it is just about time to hang up the ice rods and start unlimbering our fly and bait casting equipment, not to mention the spinning outfits. There was still enough good ice left to fish through Tuesday, but we don't think it will be safe this weekend. The weather has been too warm. The fish usually move into the channels as soon as the ice leaves and many anglers are anticipating good fishing this spring and summer. We received a bulletin from the Department of Conservation informing us that trappers do not have to purchase beaver tags any more. All the trapper has to do in marketing his pelts is to give the fur buyer the number of his trapping license. Trappers are requested to send in the^ blank they received telling the number and type of animals trapped last season. If some trappers did not get one of these blanks, the Department of Conservation would appreciate a letter listing the number and type of animals trapped. Charles Schaefer is back with us this week and here are two of his contributions: In Sumatra the macaque monkey is trained to assist in harvesting cocoanuts. < The fastest game fish is the sail fish.

P&^|f ' FOOD COMPANY' REPRESENTATIVE TALES TO FARMERS With interest high in the fact that the farmer's share of the consumers' food dollar is ap-' proximately 41 cents, local farmers should welcome a chance to listen to Mr. McCabe, representing a leading food company, talk on "How the Retailer Serves in our Modern Marketing system." Mr. McCabe will attend the adult farmers' class in the McHenry agriculture room next Tuesday night, March 27, at 8 p.m. This spring's adult class on marketing farm products has been studying the national picture in farm prices and economic trends. With an eye toward trying, to help the farmer help himself to greater profits through an understanding of market demands and market cycles, the class has paid particular attention to marketing dairy products, dairy cows, calves,' pigs, beef and grain. The highlight of the grain marketing was a trip to the Chicago Board of Trade building on Tuesday, March 20. For a fine conclusion to the class, arrangement was made for Mr. McCabe's visit. Those people in the community who wish to hear his side of the story or to question the policies of the middleman are cordially invited to attend Tuesday night. It doesn't matter if you have not previously attended -- your interest is your ticket. M.C.H.S.

HOLD TRAINING COURSE TO AID CRIPPLED CHAPTER GIVE SUGGESTIONS FOR SAFETY DURING TORNADO "SEASON" Tornadoes, the most violent and spectacular storms produced by nature, are a menace to life and property, says O. L. Hogsett, extension safety specialist at the University of Illinois College of Agriculture. The zone of maximum frequency lies between the Rockies and the Atlantic. The "season" starts around the first of the year and lasts until late September. s Knowing what to do when yol see a tornado may mean the di ference between life and deathr. Here are a few suggestions from the Illinois Rural Safety Council: Keep , calm. It will not help t6 get excited. Tornadoes usually move in a northeasterly direction at 25 to 40 miles an hour. If one is coming toward you,f move q£ right angles to its path. If there isn't time to escape, lie flat o|' the ground, facing down, in the nearest ditch or ravine. If possible, get into a culvert. f If you are at home and yoy don't have a cyclone cellar," th0 southwest corner of the baselfien£ usually offers the greatest saf4 ty. If time permits, shut£ off electricity and heating Jfjplfc ances. To reduce damage to the building, open doors and window! on the north and east sides o£ the house. A training course for volunteers to assist the McHenry county chapter of the Illinois Association for the Crippled,. Inc., (Easter seal sodiety) in its work, especially in the physical therapy center and the summer speech clinic, will be held in the old V.F.W. building in Woodstock on Monday evenings, April 9 • and 16, from 7:30 to 10 p.m. All volunteers and prospective volunteers will be given an orientation Course of lectures, at least one film and clinical practice covering these phases: Organization of therapy center; purposie of treatments; types of patients; physical therapy; speech clinic; examples of volunteer work and ethics. Services rendered by volunteers in Easter seal facilities has proved invaluable and the purpose of" the course is to better train some who are already assisting and to train others so that none will have to be imposed on too much. Its purpose is also to have substitutes available when needed. Volunteer work will include, caring for equipment and supplies at the center, reception and clerical work and preparation of patient and equipment for treatment, as well as an opportunity to assist in the summer speech clinic. HOUSEHOLD HINTS '"•& '* , -- If you use rubber gloves to protect your hands during spring housecleaning, here's a tip to help slip them on easily . . . blow into them, as you would a balloon,-' then sprinkle the insides with talcum powder and shake the gloves before putting them on. One measuring cup is all you need to prepare even the most complicated recipe . . . just remember to measure all of your dry ingredients before liquids make the cup sticky.

This conclusion was reached by Walter E. Winn of Richmond^ president of the association, who spoke to the group of 2,000. Winn , reported that a questionnaire sent to every member had been returned by around, 20 per cent. "Of the first 2,500 replies, 16 per cent were for no supports; 14 per cent for the present support program; 27 per cent for a small increase and 32 -per cent for high or 90 per c$pt supports," he said. Winn said that since most PMA members also belong to a general farm organization, dairy farmers have "two voices, each demanding separate and opposed dairy programs in tVashihgton today." He indicated that if the remainder of the questionnaires returned continued to show the same trend, the association would support efforts to increase the government dairy support price level. .
