F.T In the opener of the Niles Holiday Basketball Tournament the McHenry Warriors defeated Taft of Chicago, 75- j 57. The two teams were even in size but the quintet from Taft lacked the speed necessary to stop the running Warriors. The game was very close the first half because the Warriors failed to take advantage of all their chances and didn't capitalize on the Taft errors. In the second half they came back strong to score the smashing victory. The 75 points scored by ^McHenry tied the record for points in one game of the Niles Tournament.

This is the time of year to make resolutions. There are very few we^haven't made before, but we're off again! 3E RESOLVE. To lose weight (That was easy. We used il every year). To drop in and say hello to friends we have missed. To get Ed Doyle and Larry Nimsgern into Comiskey Park. (That'll be the day!) To order World Series tickets early for games between the White Sox and Giants. Not to smoke a cigarette all year. To take a vacation. (No remarks from the sidelines, please). To go into hiding the next time we try to write a column. (Too many interruptions this "time). Happy New Year! CARD OF THANKS I would like to take this means of thanking everyone for gifts, visits and prayers while I was confined to the hospital, and for the many gifts and cards received at Christmas time.

Lisi PHEASANT HUNTERS SPARED THE BIRDS IN 1959 SEASON • ' ^ Pheasant hunters 15 6 Grimes to be played Sunday, January 3, 1960 at McHenry High School. Semi finals -- Parish Division 1:30 P. M. -- St. Peter, Springy Grove vs. St. Thomas Crystal Lake. 2:45 P.M. -- St. John, Johnsin eastcentral Illinois could have harvested twice as many cocks as they shot in 1959 without hurting prospects for, next year's hunting, reported Ronald F. Labisky, assistant wildlife specialist of the Illinois Natural History Survey, after interviewing hunters on a 37-squaremile area. About 40 per cent of the cocks in the area were shot in the 1959 season. "A kill of 80 per cent would have damaged the 1960 pheasant prospects," Labisky says, "as only one cock to about eight hens is needed to assure good repro- 8 | duction." » The,1959 pheasant season is notable for the lowest rate of crippling that has occurred in the past four hunting seasons on the area studied. To every 100. cocks bagged 18.additional cocks were lost thrbugt^ crippling.

Whiting, 91, %of Crystal Lake, for seventy-eight years a resident of this community, died Dec. 24 following an illness of only a few weeks. Services were held Sunday at 2 o'clock from the Peter Mi Justen "chapel in McHenry, with Rev. George Martin officiating. Burial was in Woodland cemetery. He was born April 17, 1868, the only son of Amos D. and Lois Bassett Whiting, on the Whiting homestead on the Crystal Lake-McHenry blacktop. He attended the Universalist church of McHenry "as a child. % After completing high school, he started a four-term course at Northern Indiana Business college at Valparaiso, graduating June 7, 1887. The next two winters he attended a business college in Chicago, helping his father in his brick yard in the summer. In November, 1891, he was united in marriage with Nona D. Guerin of McHenry and started farming with his father in thg years when oxen were still in use. After twenty-four years of marriage, Mrs. Whiting died, leaving three children, Norma and Charles, now deceased, and Eva. A son, Lloyd, and a daughter, Neva, passed away in infancy. When he took over the farm from his father in 1895, he formed a partnership of Page ;d Whiting, doing custom ork in the surrounding area. This ended only with the untimely death of Charles L. Page in 1923. It was while engaged: in this line of work that Mr. Whiting lost his left hand in a corn shredder in 1914. Ho continued his interest ih progress, -always working for modern , machines and methods of operation. At the age of 21 he was elected to the Clemens school board and served * fifty-four consecutive years, the last sixteen as board president, and with the aid of other school board members kept the school up Jo curriculum requirements. Needless to say, • he served as a^balance wfyeel in community affairs, and Was never too busy to lend a helping hand. It was with real regret that he saw the Clemens school closed only two years after he moved to Crystal Lake after residing for seventy-e i g h t years at the place of his birth. an 'WO IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our beloved mother, Christine Stilling, who passed away seven years ago on Jan. 1, 1953.
