AJB- BHwtfitrV This department is going to try to line up a new crystal gazer ^to let us know the outcome of jsports contests before they are played. Bob Hendricks, coach, scorekeeper and loyal bopster at JvICriS. picked the winner in ev- £ry basketball game played at Champaign the past week in •which the state championship was decided. Most of the experts picked Collinsville while many in this^area had hopes for Elgin. Along comes Herrin with determination and the cleverest defensive play of the tournament to win the crown. ~ In the college ranks, Bradley jbounced up after a not so hot record to knock off th& field. Sometimes it depends on how the ball bounces. More often it depends on the bounce left in a team at the finish. have Elmer J. Freund and Bert Harrison (Yep.

The entries show y/ teams, 100 double teams, 204 singles and 171 all-event entries. Of course, Fred wouldn't promote anything without added color so you can expect to see some special form of entertainment each Sunday afternoon. The man has ideas! Bill Althoff, State Court Trustee, is president of the bowling tournament and will welcome large crowds from all parts of the state to our community. The local court has added a special award in the form of a diamond ring with C.O.F. emblem to the All-Event Scratch (no handicap). Big events do happen in- McHenry. ' Now, would you look at this. Dan Weber bowled a 245-208-202- 645 series for the Prager boys in the City League at the Palace. We were sorry to hear about Carl Behnke's aqgident and hope fee will be recovered real soon. Governor William G. Stratton signed the bills providing for the increase of hunting and fishing license fees. The increase for hunting licenses goes into effect with the issuance of 1957 licenses The fishing license increase will become effective Feb. 1, 1958. Glen D. Palmer, Director of the Illinois Department of Conservation said that the additional revenue will be spent for permanent improvements in the conservation of Illinois. We sure hope so. Foresters-- F.

The story goes on to say why our favorites will slip from third to fifth place. Just wait 'till we put in our first team! You won't be hearing many finer talks than one delivered by Jesse Owens, former track star, at the Rotary Sports Banquet. Tuesday night. Of course, John Looze, Rotary President, and the future leader. Ernie Useman, are old hands at the "mike". It was the poise shown by our coaches, Cliff Fulton and Jerome Kalk, that made us think they have been practiceing. Oh, that Chuck Peterson! He fined Ernie and yours truly for answering a sports quiz question in which we said it is Mickey Mantle's left ankle that is injured. A couple of little publications like the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Daily News say it is the left ankle. We plan to appeal to a higher court. Bu*"in«»ss Men -- B. Voase, 226; H.

The center hall was used by the Scouts and the south wing by the older boys in the Explorer post and Sea Scout post. The north wing was used by the doctors and the kitchen for recorders. Scouting lives in McHenry because of the many fine adults who are willing to give their time to all the young people actively engaged in constructive programs. A splendid example of this was shown in the following list of adult helpers. Judging were H. E. Meyers, Leo Thompson, Eugene Rode, H. Sherman and William Sniton and assisting were Robert J. Sutton, Robert Seeber, Sr., and Roy Morrison. - Explorer judges were Ed. Thennes and William Pries. Referees were Joe* Murray and Edwprd Thorne for Scouts and George Mitchell tor Explorers. Timekeepers were Adrian Awmit-for Scouts and Fred Wahl, Sr., for Explorers. Acting as doctors were Walter Durrenburg and H. S. Fike for Scouts and William E. Creutz for Explorers. A splendid job of converting and recording was done by Floyd A. Johnson and Ix>uis Spankuch. who handled both records 'of Scouts and Explorers. General floor arrangements and management was done by the neighborhood commissioners, Louis Swedo and Hugh Kirk. The 'following units were represented: T-129 and P-629 sponsored by Pistakee Highlands Improvement association; T-131 of McHanry Methodist church; T- 161 of the V.F.W.; T-162 and P- 662 of the American Legion and T-164 of the Moose.
