Page Four THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Tuesday, December 23, 1958 Another short week is with us and time is shorter than we thought. If there is anything tougher than a newspaper deadline, it is the sound of a train conductor's "All Aboard" when you are a half a block away. We work all year toward this happy holiday season, then have a rough time trying to cope with the rush.

WARRIORS COME THROUGH WITH CLUTCH VICTORY Strong Finish Wins 65 to 61 Game On Zion-Beiilon Floor by Ron Smith North Suburban Standings \V L Pts. Opp. COMING EVENTS December 23 O.E.S. Regular Meeting--Acacia Hall--8 p.m. " ' FATAL TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS ARE NUMEROUS XMAS More fatal traffic accidents, including more pedestrian deaths, happen each Christmas Eve than at any other comparable time of the year., And the National Safety Council, which complies holiday statistics, says that 6 to 7 p.m. on Christmas Eve is the deadliest hour both for drivers and pedestrians. Darkness, bad weather, speed, alcohol and pedestrian errors are the causes of the high toll. Since many persons will have a four-day holiday both at Christmas and New Year's the Council fears the season's high-! way toll may hit an all-timer high unless drivers, pedestrians and enforcement officials take extra precaution. During the 1956 Christmas- New Year holidays, each of four days, traffic claimed 706 lives at Christmas and 409 during New Year's. Last year, when most persons had only a one-day holiday, the traffic toll was 224 for Christmas and 160 for New Year's. Council surveys of last year's toll show that 72 per cent of the fatal accidents involved speed too fast for conditions. Drinking drivers were involved in 55 per cent of the fatal and non-fatal accidents. In an effort to combat holiday drinking and driving, the Council has asked its 8,000 business and industrial members to take a new look at their office parties. "Keep the cork in the bottle or eliminate the parties," the Council asks. Social drinkers--not the obvious drunks--are the big menace on the highway and the Council warns that three hours are needed to eliminate the effect of two cocktails. enough to drive a car on yet., of January 5th Rf)ats hav(?

LIGHT SEER Those remarkable "Warriors" of 1958 came through in beautiful style with another clutch victory in the North Suburban conference race as they defeated Zion 65-61 on the losers' floor. The victory made our record 8-0 and 4-0 in conference play. It kept us a full game in front of Dundee and Libertyville who boast 3-1 conference records. The team itself wasn't as sharp as it should be as we had 21 violations and missed several ,close-in key shots (layups and drive-ins) which could have broken the game wide open. The game was incred- I ibly even in regard to shooting accuracy and percentage. Zion made 26-64 shots good for a i 40.6 percent. Fulton's men shot 40.7 per cent by sinking 24 j of 59 shot attempts. The game i again was won in the freethrow colmun as we outscored the Zee-Bees 17-9 in this allimportant statistic. The team constantly fed in to Mike Creighton in the - keyhole area and Mike drove in for many easy lay-ups. This system of play succeeded on numerous occasions. Creighton had 21 points and Al Cajthamal contributed 19. Tied at Half Time The first quarter started slowly with McHenry holding a 17-12 advantage at the gun. Zion bounced back in the second to outscore us by 5 points and knot the game up at 28-28 at half time intermission. Actually, we should have held a little lead at this point except for some bad mental lapses and poor shooting. We shot only 36.7 in that first half. Our third quarter wasn't as bad as it could have been as Zion-Benton hung up a 21-17 margin in this period. The score at the end of 3 periods stood at: Zion 49, McHenry 45. It appeared as though our victory string would finally be snapped to the many Warrior fans who made the long trip. But, as has happened so many times, we came through with a great final stanza to pull the game out by a 65-61 score. 1 might add that Zion held an 8-point lead in the third quarter when the score reached 44- 36. McHenry bounced right back to crack the barrier, however. Al Cajthaml scored the bucket that gave us a 63-61 lead with a beautiful assist from Eichinger. With 15 seconds left, Mark Vycital put in 2 free throws to put the game on ice. It was truly a great victory and one that we really needed to stay on top in this rugged, balanced league race. Zion's team displayed better basketball than in previous years. I'm not disparaging our victory, but three of Zion's starting five fouled out in the fourth quarter. The only one that was a big loss, however, was Pearson, a forward, who dumped in 20 points and is among the conference's leading scorers. Jim Robenson, a guard, played a terrific game, both on offense and defense. He executed great ball-handling, fine shooting, and outstanding defensive work on the press. It was the Z-B's first loss at home this season and only their second of the season, I believe. (Dundee beat them 67- 42 last week). In individual statistics, Mike Creighton played a tremendous game as he dumped in 21 points (his personal high for the season), grabbed 13 rebotinds (including many tip-ins), and made 9-13 shots for a terrific 69.2 percent. Al Cajthaml accounted for 19 points and hit at a 50 percent clip. Al's shots consisted of some beautiful jump shots from the corner and also some tremendous drive-in shots. Don Bentz played a spectacular game on the boards as he snared 23 rebounds. Matt Eichinger was held to only 8 points, but he accumulated 11 assists, and recovered the ball 6 times. His assists included some sharp passing, especially to Cajthaml when he lofted the ball over the heads of Zion's players and Al sort of half shot-half tipped the ball in. These type of plays caused Zion fans to gasp in amazement. Mark Vycital made 6 of 7 free throws, including the 2 to put the game on ice and a couple of set shots. : John Moss played and turned in a creditable performance. John Steinbach returned to the lineup, but appeared a little rusty, which can be expected after missing 3 games. The starting five--Eichinger, Cajthaml, Bentz, Creighton, and Vycital played the entire second half and turned in a good job. , A very large McHenry following traveled to Zion to encourage the team. It was an excellent representation which helped the team and which should be present at all away games. This four-point victory means that we have won our last 4 games by a total of 9 points- Crystal Lake, 2; Barrington, 2; Harvard, 1; Zion, 4. We'll take them any way we can get them, but this is getting awful hard on a spectator's nerves, I'm sure. The "Warriors" will risk their unbeaten record against two non-conference foes during the holidays. Lake Forest will come here on Tuesday. Dec. 30, and we will travel to Grayslake on Saturday, January 3.

H. Alan Long, district director of Internal Revenue said the old law which ends December 31, 1958, imposes these taj&- es only on devices operated by insertion of a coin, token, or similar object. The new law is one of the provisions of the Excise Tax Technical Changes Act of 1958, (Public Law 85-859). Mr. Long said any so-called "slot machine" will be taxed at the rate of $250 per year for each machine. This includes all machines which may deliver, or entitle the person playing, or operating the machine to receive through chance cash, premiums, merchandise, or tokens. Since the tax year runs from July 1 to the following June 30 and "the new law is effective Jan. 1, 1959, the new tax will be prorated, Mr. Long said. Thus he said, anyone maintaining a gaming machine taxable for the first time on Jan. 1, 1959, must pay $125 tax by Jan. 31, 1959. If he maintains an amusement device which becomes taxable on Jan. 1, 1959, he must pay a tax of $5 by January 31, 1959. Mr. Long said amusement and gaming devices for which taxpayers have already paid the $10 or the $250 tax for the fiscal year 1959 are not affected by the new law He also said the hew law provides that the 10 percent tax on wagers does not apply to amounts paid to operate any amusement or gaming device on which an occupational tax is imposed. However, no refund is allowed on the $50 occupational tax on wagers paid for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1959. Mr. Long advised taxpayers who need forms, further information, or assistance in preparing returns to contact his office at 22 W. Madison street. Corn Price Makes Recovery larger than it was a year ago. The crop is estimated at 3,686 million buAhels, up 8 percent. Carry over of old corn totaled 1,467 million bushels, up 3 recent. Carryover, which increased only 48 million bushels in 1957-58, will swell by perhaps 300 million by next October 1. The price support levels, -1.06 and $1.36, are 4 cents lower than last year. Prices of livestock may follow a downward trend in 1959, whereas they rose this past year. Since the price of corn t"s risen close to the lower loan level, there is now little inducement to tie up non-compliance corn under price support loans. Supplies of- other feeds are much more abundant in many areas than they were a year ago. The East and South, especially, are better fixed for feed than they were last year* They, yvill be less aggressive bu>£s than they were a year ago. Some farmers are holding corn until after the end of 19581 to delay, income tax liability for a year. Some of them will be" selling after the first of the year. Business conditions, often a. price-making factor in grain markets, have improved during the past six months, but may be no better this winter tlQn they were a year before. Price-lifters Hog production is increasing rapidly. Hogs may use 15 percent more corn than they did last year. The laying flock is 3 or 4 perr cent larger than it was a year ago, and broiler production is running 10 to 15 percent greater. Next to hogs, poultry is the biggest user of corn. # Many farmers are in a stronger financial position than they were a year ago. Thus they are able to hold their corn longer and sell later than they did last year. Delay in selling would ad to early strength but make later weakness. Last spring the corn market got a lift when export takings were shifted from CCC stoats to open market supplies. Reports have continued to come from the open market, so early season prices have received support this year. L. H. Simerl Dept. of Ag. Econ. Zion McHenry 12 16 21 12--61 17 11 17 20--65 Christ spent thirty years preparing for three years' work. Corn prices made a quick j recovery from their harvest- ; time low. The price has risen 1 about to the $1.06 price support level. The recovery came more quickly this year than last, probably because harvest I was finished earlier and much more of the corn was storable and thus eligible for'price support. Prices for 1957 crop corn had increased to about $1.25 a bushel by midsummer. Prices of the 1958 crop may rise from recent levels, but prospective bearish forces are heavier than they were a year ago. Price Depressants The supply of corn is much ELM WAUCONDA.
