Big trouble with primary elections seems to be that many voters do not want to declare their party choice. Some fear the loss cf business. Hitting a man in the pocketbook is the hardest blow. But. all good thinkers know we need more than one party if we are to preserve our rights. Now is the time we feed lawns so we can mow later.

Rainbow a nd brown trout were stocked in Wooster Lake in Lake County as a result of water chemistry checks, made by fishery biologists in 1961, that indicated trout may live through the hot summer months. Biologists will sample the lake with gill nets in July or August to see if the trout survived.

Our friend came back with, "Why not call it Progress Street?" This is Library Week and our thoughts go back to leaner days when McHenry's library was in its cradle stage and being brought along carefully by the Mothers' Club. As expansion of the present library takes place in the near future, we presume the histoid of its growth will be covered by our dear'editor. After serving on the library board for many years, we know that history must first name Mrs. Greta Goodell. What she did for the library and for McHenry must never be forgotten. We think Mrs. Goodpll rates credit for encouraging children to read. Some of the boldest brats were darlings in her eyes. of fools. ward building McHenry on a good foundation.

The big date to remember is Thursday, April 26. That is registration night for all boys in the McHenry Little League area to sign up, if they wish to play baseball this year. Registration will be at the VFW at 7:30 p.m. At least one parent or guardian should accompany their boy on registration night. There will be a short meeting to explain the purpose of Little League and what is expected of the parents. We also ask a three dollar donation with each registration to help pay for insurance and the caps which become the boys' property. All boys who are signing up for the first time must bring their birth certificates with them. This is a requirement of the National Headquarters. Any boy in this league area, who will have reached his eighth birthday, but not his thirteenth birthday by August 1, is eligible to sign up. Tryout day will be Sunday, I April 29, at the Little League field. We will announce the exact time for each age group in next week's paper. The following areas are included in McHenry's Little League franchise --all bf the City of McHenry, Orchard Beach, Shaiimar, Huemann's Subd., Aqua Lane, Hunterville, Woodlawn Park, Fox Street, Mineral Springs, Emerald P a r k , F e r n w o o d , E a s t w o o d Manor, and all of the area west of the Crystal Lake blacktop and south of highway 120 that lies within the grade school district.

Anonymous SCHOOL BOARD SPEAKS OUT ON BOND ISSUES In answer to opponents of the swimming pool bond issue and information appearing in area papers which the board of School District. 156 feels is inaccurate, Superin t e n d e n t Carl Buckner spoke out Wednesday of this week in behalf of board members and stated several facts on the bond issues to be submitted to voters at the annual school election on April 14. One issue he referred to is the amount of $270,000 for the construction of indooroutdoor swimming pool. "This is much too important to the welfare of our students for you to be mislead or misinformed," Mr. Buckner said. "Statements have appeared in area newspapers which are not true." "The city of McHenry, he continued, did not attempt to build a swimming pool and because of failure for plans to be approved, ask the board of education of the high school to consider such a plai%> "A group of private citizens of the McHenry area, recognizing the need for recreational facilities for the community, attempted to raise sufficient funds by i^utitary contributions, and this effort did fail. This group of citizens did not appear before the board of education, or ask the individual members of the board of education, to take over on plafis for a swimming pool. Result of Long Planning "The bond issue for a swimming pool which is being presented to the public on April 14 is the result of months of study and planning by six of the seven board members., The state of Illinois requires all students to participate in a physical education program, and with the present physical education facilities, this cannot be accomplished. With the addition of a swimming pool to accommodate 720 students per day, all students will reeive a better physical education program. Students will not be deprived of any teachers, classrooms, or supplies by the addition of a swimming program -- on the contrary -- this will offer Additional healthful instruction to all young people in the high school. For a nominal additional amount, it was felt the pool should be built to standard^ that, would accommodate the public living in high school district 156 evenings and during the summer months. "A statement has been published concerning library facilities in the high school. Your library is not in a deplorable condition and is one of the facilities in the high schdbf which is continuously being mproved and added to. The present library has 6,500 books for the students' use. The school budget for the year 1961-1962 contained an item of $3,000 for improvement and OBITUARIES WILL PYLES Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Pyles have returned from Paris, Texas, where they attended the funeral of his father, Will Pyles. Mr. Pyles, 76, died March 28 at Paris following a long illness. Survivors include two other sons, Howard, of Liberty, Texas, and Fred of Paris. AUGUSTA HAMMER Rev. C. Bing and Rev. Wm. Jahn of the Apostolic Church of Elgin officiated at last rites at 9 o'clock Sunday evening for Mrs. Augusta Wolff Hammer, 84, of 4711 W. Crystal Lake road, who died early Saturday, April 7, in McHenry hospital, where she had been a patient for only four days. Burial was in Concordia cemetery, Chicago, following services held at the JSeorge R. Justen & Son funeral home. She was born Oct) 1, 1877, in Chicago, and lived for the past fifteen years with her daughter, Helen Huizinga. Other survivors are two grandchildren, a great-grandchild and a sister. lett Rauen. She always made her home in this area, and for the past thirteen years had resided in Richmond. Besides the daughter and brother, she leaves another brother, William, of Kenosha.

Four persons appeared before Justice of the Peace Charles M. Adams last Saturday. James E. Regan of Chicago was fined $15 for fishing without a license. additions to the library. This amount is more than is required to meet the standards set by the North Central Association of High Schools and Colleges. Mr. Buckner continued to say that the impression that a bond issue for the swimmirig pool will deprive students of other educational facilities is completely false. He said, "Provision for supplies, equipment and instructors is made in the annual school budget. There is no connection between the annual tax levy for educational needs or library facilities and a bond issue levy." A $10 fine was imposed on Mario Manzella of Wonder Lake for failure to yield the right-of-way. Fines of^$7 and $10 were charged Larry G. Johnson of McHenry, the first for having illegal mufflers and the second tor speeding. Speeding was also the charge against Robert Hammerstone of Crystal Lake, who paid $10. Police Magistrate Do n a 1 d Howard fined Norbert A. Adams $15 on a speeding charge when he appeared in court last Thursday evening. Ten million houses in U.
