Page Four THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, April 26, 1962 ^ so iheaRv.f If we ntg,kethis real short and if we" forget things that should be written, please excuse us this week. ' We are shook up -- shook up with joy after one of the great surprises of our life. On Tuesday night^wS walked into the V.F.W. • spfeious rooms with George imd Mary Freund to attend what we thought was a usual Chamber of Commerce annual dinner-dance meeting:' It turned out to be a "This Is Your Life" event of our life in McHenry to date. To say. it was a complete surprise is putting it mildly. We truly had no idea of the plans. As Fred Meyer carried the program through (as only Fred can) and close friends appeared, we forgot the old standby "I'll cry tomorrow." Tears came. We tried hard to hold them back, but tears of joy are not to be denied. We will live these moments over and over and will never be able to fully express our gratitude to those who joined hands to make the event possible and share our joy. Just briefly our thoughts turn back to sports. Funniest thing -- Herb Reihansperger and Junior Freund found reasons to phone us after the Cubs won two and the Sox lost two last'"f3(uiday.^TftSy' hadn't called us in weeks. And our Assistant Sports Editor, Marie, couldn't 'resist sending us a note to remind us of the horrible weekend we Sox fans had to endure. Just a tip to those who have been damaging property at McHenry (Country . Club. Somebody may be breathing down your heck at this time. Those members are aroused. .

MCHS Golf Team Splits First Two Matches Of 1962 The golf team opened the season with a victory over Grayslake 6-4 in a nine hole golf match. Due to limited practice, scores were not too low. Bob Beckenbaugh shot a 39 for 9 holes and won 2 points. This is Bob's fourth season on the golf team and each year he has improved. This year Bob should be scoring in the low 70's. John Rourke had a little trouble and lost 45-49. John is a iunior and this will be his second year on the team. This score does not indicate his ability; last year John shot an 80 in the conference match and in a few weeks John should be in last year's form. Taking over the No. 3 position is a sophomore, Bill Funk. Bill is consistently in the mid 40's and as the weather improves. so should Bill. Against Grayslake Bill won with a 45 to his opponents 49. Ted Hornby, a senior, is playing in the No. 4 position and won his match 46-49. Ted should get m the low 80's by the time the district tournament^ rolls around. In flhe No. 5 position presently is Another sophomore, Chris Newkmt. Chris lost his first match 49-45, but Chris was not playing to his ability. Within a few weeks Chris should be pushing the other boys out of their positions. Other members of the varsity golf team are Bill Anderson, Allan Kuncl, Tom Antonson, Mike FitzGerald, Mark Lashkowski and Jay Saylor. Last Thursday the MCHS golf team travelled to Crystal Lake and went down in a very close match 6-4. Bob Beckenbaugh lost 46-44 in a close match which was decided on the last hole. John Rourke lost both match and medal play, score 44-40. Bill Funk, the only winner, won 2 points, score 42-46. Chris Newkirk tied his match 47-47, this gaye. McHenry one point. Mark Lashkowski tied match play, but lost medal 49-45. Next varsity and frosh-soph matches are Wednesday and Thursday of this week. This year MCHS will have a sophomore team. Due to wet grounds at the McHenry Country club only nine h61es were open and the sophs could not play against Grayslake. At Crystal Lake the sophomore team lost 9-1. Members of the team are: Bob Mayfield, Craig Adams, Tom. Carlson, Buzz Frett, Jim Johnson, Art Keevil, Paul Liebman, Richard Piatt, feiil S-itamer, Russ Weyland and Gregg Warren. Anonymous COURT BRIEFS ^Justice of the Peace Charles "M.~ Adams heard numerous ^sgs, in court last Saturday, and the biggest fige was imiSed on James E. Cronin of iicago, who paid $30 for illegal transportation of liquor. Little League Notes &&iuot Of interest to women golfe: are the plans of the newly organized Northern Illinois Women's Golf Association to hold an invitational tournament at McHenry Country Club in August. The new group, formed to provide a tournament within commuting range of golfers in towns north and northwest of. Chicago, comprises to date representatives from Orchard Hills and Bonnie Brook in Waukegan, Ranwood C. C. in Round Lake, Deerpath in Lake Forest, and Sunset Vallely in Highland Park. The event, according to Mrs. Albin Ogrin of Waukegan, chairman, will enable more golfers in this area to get acquainted and work together in the interests of better golf in addition to offering a much-needed competition. Board members are confident that a large field will be attracted by the rolling terrain of the challenging McHenry course. The sylvan setting, a haven for wild ducks which placidly ignore even the splash of golf balls joining them in the water, is complemented by a modern and spacious clubhouse overlooking the Fox River. r Committees are at work with Mrs. Ogrin in planning the tourney, which will be 36 holes of stroke play in four flights, with no handicap limit for entry. Players will be grouped by handicap and qualify for flights on Thursday, August 16, and will tee off. according to flight position Friday. Hospitality, rules, and registration committees are being organized by Mrs. Vincent Weyland and Mrs. Paul R. Overton of the McHenry women's golf league. Mrs. H. F. Killinger, 220 Foster Place, Lake Forest, is preparing entries, Which Will- be available in May.

PUBLIC SPEAKING McHenry county 4-H'ers will participate In a public speaking activity on Thursday, May 3, at the Farm Bureau auditorium. Woodstock. The purpose of this activity is to help 4-H'ers acquire the ability to speak convincingly in public, to learn how to acquire material to completely explain a subject to others, to learn how to organize material and carefully prepare the speech before it is given, and to help 4-H'ers develop a pleasing personal appearance before an audience. Kent Green, 3-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold F. Green of Algonquin, was the county's first drowning victim last week Wednesday when he fell into the Fox river. The lad was playing with his brother and two other children near the Green home and the river's edge when he fell into the, water about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. August Gritmaker, who was fishing in the area, saw the boy's body floating downstream sonip (^stance away. He pulled the lad from the water and summoned firemen, but efforts to revive him were to no avail. Besides his par ents, he leaves a sister and two brothers. Another brother died in 1957. 4-H* ers PLANT TREES ^ April 28 at 9 a.m. will find 4-H'ers planting trees at the McHenry county fairgrounds, Woodstock, selected and financed by their local 4-H clubs. Twenty-nine trees of various species will be planted by 4-H'ers who were selected for this purpose by their club members. Agriculture and home Economics clubs will be participating to help make the McHenry county fairgrounds a more beautiful county attraction to encourage more people to visit the fair in August. McHenry BY JOHN YABESE The 1962 golfing season was officially opened last week and I must say it has been a long time getting here. Saturday was one of those nice days for golfing and although I didn't take the opportunity to play, I did go over to the clubhouse and look around. I saw a big van pull up with golf carts for our club. We'll have electric carts this year. The pro shop is all • set up with our new pro, Vale Adams. As for Vale, we feel that the club could not have made a better choice for its Pro and have no doubt that the McHenry Country club will be well represented wherever he goes. Lots of luck to you, Vale, for the coming season. Our games committee is well staffed this year also. George Rink is chairman, with three capable men, Ed Buss, Tom Evans, and Nicky Freund, as his assistants. I have been on the games committee and know that it is not an easy task, so, any cooperation will be greatly appreciated I'm sure. A fine schedule has been arranged for this coming season and the first one is April 29-r-called the "kick-off breakfast", qualifying for aggregate score, twosome tournament, so let's all give them a big turnout. Read this schedule with care. If you remember the events, you are an old timer.

Fr. F. J. BECK.A A large crowd gathered in the high school auditorium last week to hear an interesting and informative talk by Father Fredrick J. Becka, who for the two and one-half years was under arrest by the Chinese communists. His talk, "China, Communism and Chinatown", was sponsored by* the McHenry Township Republican Women's club. COL1 NTY FAIRS There will be 104 county fairs held in Illinois this coming summer, F. I. Crum, superintendent of state aid to county fairs for the Illinois Department of Agriculture, has announced. In 1961 there were 105 county fairs in the state, but the Lawrence County Fair at Bridgeport will not be held this year. The complete listing of fairs and their scheduled dates were available about April 15. Those wishing copies should write directly to the superintendent of state aid to county fairs, Illinois Dep a r t m e n t o f A g r i c u l t u r e , Springfield. CROP PRODUCTION RESTRICTIONS ON SOIL BANK FARMS Fanners with whole farm conservation reserve contracts are reminded that they are p r o h i b i t e d from p r o d u c i n g grain or hay • crops in 1962, Bert Bridges, chairman of the McHenry county ASC committee, announced this week. Cooperators with part farm contracts cannot exceed the acreage of allotment crops on their farms, and must observe the permitted acres of soil bank base crops. Violation of these limitations will result in the loss of the annual payment, and could result in the assessment of a penalty equal to 50 per cent of the annual payment. Generally speaking, Mr. Bridges said, farmers are well aware of crop production limitations, but the county ASC committee is anxious that no producer lose any of this year's annual payment. Farmers are permitted to pasture land not included in conservation reserve contracts. Home gardens can continue' to be used to produce crops for home use. The chap who is set in his ways seldom hatches any new ideas. Northern lllini Bowmen News by Ray Plucinsld Our range is taking shape little by little. All we need are more club members to show up for work. They enjoy shooting, but so few to do the work. If every club member would show up and put in half as much time working as they do shooting we would have the most beautiful range in the state. Weather being in our favor we should have the first club ;hoot on May 6. The annual N.I.B. safari will be held July 15.
