\ age Four THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday. August 6, 1959; WT I Another sport and recreational attraction comes to the McHenry area as "The Rabbit Track" opens at Fritzshe Estates. We have been • told that six little "ears called track rabbits run around a track, giving both drivers and spectators quite a thrill. Other recreational facilities have been added in McHenry the past week as new equipment was placed in the old "Clay Hole" lot When we were kids, parents warned about going near the "Clay Hole". It was said to be spring fed, 60 feet deep, 90 feet deep, bottomless or reaching China. Only the brave dared go near the spot. We sat on our mother's porch this evening and talked of< the many changes that have occurred in the West Side neighborhood where we grew up. Across the street there was activity as the family gathered at the Bacon home. Their mother had passed away earlier in the day. We had many occasions to visit Mrs. Bacon and each visit gave us some good laughs. It isn't too long ago that we stuck our head in the front door for an exchange of greetings and came away with a smile and the realization that a good old soul was not quite herself. If they have special departments up there in heaven, they can make room for one who never hestitated to tell a joke on herself. The Northern Illini Bowmen's Club held a Safari Shoot recently that drew 418 archers from 25 clubs in Wisconsin and Illinois. This breaks a previous record of 381 set a couple of years ago. Don't tell us there is nothing to do in a small town. If you can't find your sport, just mention it to two other people and they will start a club.
