Winkel was quite an athlete in his day and still shows some of the young sprouts a trick or two with a bowling ball. Bowl- • ing at the Palace with the Forester group Friday night, he came through with a 692 series with games of 261-211-220. That, my dear readers, is a pile of wood in any league. Our McHenry Dance and Figure and Speed Skating Club will have three couples entered in the 6-stfcte challenge meet at Livonai, Michigan this coming week-end, April 6-7. Couples from the "Just For Fun" rink are: Donna Dowe and John Zucara, Rose Graziano, and Berry Barker, DIarie Hansen and Don Beaman. We wish these young people a lot of luck to combine with their skill and effort. You may hav< noticed a story of Dick Walsh being appointed by the Brooklyn Dodgers as top man of their newly acquired Los Angeles club. Dick is the son of former McHenryites, Mr. and Mrs. Richard B. Walsh. Dick Sr. knew his way around the big leagues and must be very proud of his son's rapid rise with Brooklyn. If we were getting up a bowling team, we would want Nadine Larkin on our side. This week she hits the pins to the tune of 588, including a 212 game. Junior Freund seemed to know a lot about that discouraging story about the White Sox which was mailed to us. Then, along comes Ed Doyle to remind us the envelope was addressed to "Minoso" and delivered to us. This may be a syndicate we are up against. DAILY PINUPS: You seldom get the best for the least, but sometimes pay a lot for the worst. Some folks fail to make history, neither have they- a past, but just count their blessings, while they may last. Meeting others half way is the shortest road to friendship. made a creditable showing in national competition. An Old Timer, Wally Woodburn, wrote the following to our mother following receipt of a recent issue of the Plaindealer sent to him while visiting in Detroit: Received your nice letter this a.m. Am so glad to receive McHenry news. The paper you sent was heaven to me as it had picture of remains of 1895 fire tnat made the Woodburns and a few other poor families homeless. All we had was what was on our" backs. Moved in next to Riverside House and Winfield bought it for $350.00 in a short time. People were so nice to bring in enough stuff in the way of old furniture and food to keep us alive for a time. Doesn't seem possible it was about 62 years ago and I was 16. - I sure have fond memories of McHenry and the grand people that were so nice to me. Mrs. F. K. Granger took me to Worlds Fair in 1893 and I made my home with them for a long time. And Ed used me like a brother. Have heard from Harry Wightman sinc6 we have been here. Am planning on sending Plaindealer to him." 'Tain't funny, but we can't help noting that even Texas tornadoes are on a larger scale. Cartoon: Dad to Mom, "Sure, I remember I was young once-- wadda you think I'lh chasin' him home for?" 0 THE GREAT_ OUTDOORS By Jack Walsh We were talking "fish" to an old friend last week and somehow a fish which is frowned upon by many was mentioned. What Was it? The lowly sucker. He mentioned, that he saw some suckers starting upstream over the dam near Wilmot, Wisconsin. That means they should start their run in this vicinity within two weeks. There are many ways to catch suckers. Spearing and snagging are the most popular. We have come upon sucker fishermen using dynamite, old electric generators, rifles, and all sorts of other methods tnat would cause particular unrest if a game warden happened to see them. The only completely legal way of catching suckers is with spear, nitchfork, gig, and bow and arrow This season is from March 15 to October 15. It also pertains to carp, gar and dogfish. Fried suckers taste somewhat like pike when caught early in the spring, but most folks prefer them smoked. The smelt should start running in Waukegan any night now. We know of quite a few people from McHenry who net smelt and some of them, including yours truly, are champing at the bit. One of the quickest ways we know of to clean smelt is to cut off the head with a scissors, snip open the belly side, make a couple of swipes with a toothbrush and then shake them briskly in a colander under fast running water. This last step washes the fish and removes the scales. Try it. It is really a time saver. C 0. F. State Tournament . 71 # w N ^ ^ >sills?

Little League Monday night of this week, Little League President Fred Meyer called a meeting of officers and managers to discuss plans for the coming season. Here are some of the changes made from last year. A1 Kujack will be vice-president of McHenry Little League. Henry Reese will act as 2nd vice-president and will be in charge of the minor league. LeRoy Ismith will assist Frank J6hnson as player agent. Once again every child that registers to play will be placed on a team. Now, you can see that the problem of supervision is paramount. Several of the managers and coaches have given their time to Little League since its start three years ago. However, we do need more help. Where should this help come from? Primarily it should come from the parents, but anyone interested in the welfare of youngsters is welcome to lend a helping hand. You can volunteer your support by telephoning. Bill Bolger at McHenry No. 4. All boys between the age£ of 8 and 12, who are interested in playing this yeari are asked to register at the V.F.W. club house on April 25th between 7 p.m. and 8 pm.
