Pag* Four THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, August 29. 1963 U/a&Ah- SO I HEAR... The American League race seems to have settled down to a question of which team Will land in second place. If the Yankees do not appear in the World Series, there should be a Senate investigation. As to the Dodgers in the National League, we dunno. Past history tells us not to bet on them, until it is a sure thing. It seems obvipus that both leagues went into the expansion program with their eyelids down. Every team in the big time had weak spots before the expansion. Now we have more weak spots -- and the Mets! Nobody will give up big name stars, but somebody had better get around to putting some fair to middlin' ball players on the available list for those new teams. A press release from the National Rifle Association of America tells us that John Regner (Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Regner's son) is competing this week In the championships held at Camp Perry, Ohio. We have a case of a missing picture that has at last come into our hands. It is a picture of the Junior Golf Tourney. Such a time! Better late than never. See it next week. We keep wishing that our scientists would come up with something besides the atom bomb to prevent or cure common colds and Dutch Elm disease. Had a bard time trying to think of the name of "LandrrfljTk" school the other day. Yoara ago it was the "Old School" and the high school w^s known as the "New School." Now we have schools airovfer the place. A skier-kite soaring over the lake, a four-man jump team in intricate over-and-under maneuvers, and a trio skiing barefoot at 40 miles per hour highlight the eleven-act,, fifth annual Wonder Lake Ski club show presented in an Indian motif. The show, free to the public, is Sunday, Sept. I, at 2:1p.m., at Lookout Point, on the east side of the lake. It can be seen from boats, or from • land through the courtesy of property owners who open their grounds to spectators. Boaters in the area are asked to proceed at reduced speed to avoid accidents and help maintain calm water. Motorists can enter from Wonder Lake road at Nantucket, to Lake Shore drive, and south to parking areas. Demonstrate Skill* Twenty-one members, comprising pretty young ladies and husky lads, on skis and driving the boats, will also demonstrate skills on shoe skis, turnabouts, crossovers, piggy back artistry, ballet, the pyramid and olher feats of skiing agility. The show opens with a colorful flag act ceremony and closes in an eight-skier grand finale. The club was formed in 1955 by eight determined teen-agers whose average age was 15. They had little in the way of equipment, but abounded with determination. The girls will be dressed in specially designed Indian water costumes that each is making -- red suits with fringe, black caps, and for some acts they'll wear the Indian version of the modern shift, white pull-overs fringed. w/m ^i Wonder Lake Ski Club Presents Fifth Annual Show September 1 This year's show is in marked contrast to the first one in 1959 when the club had little equipment and less experience. Since then, through income from refreshments and othei sources, the club has acquired the latest in s|>ecial skis and tow rt»|)os, has built a tournament slz« 'ump, nnd this season added the 14 x 16 foot kite, ("lull CiroWN Through trial and error, bui with remarkably few accidents, the clul) has grown to where its equipment' represents several hundreds of dollars, not to mention the boats and fuel donated over the years. Girl members are Leone Bertany, Laura Bixb>«, Chris Gerhard t, Kathy Heron, Jan Iluck and Jan Riedel. The men are Ron Bintz, Terry Brannberg, Jack Cantillon, Jim Fitzgerald, Steve Harris, "Ginty" Kastys, Scott King, Glenn Riedel, Harry Riedel, Brian Salter, Ron Simczak, Gary Thorspn, Hank Vincent, Larry Zidek and "Tiny" Zidek. Three tow boats will keep the show moving at a rapid pace. The famous "Sin or Swim" 18-foot inboard will be driven by Ron Simczak, and two 15-foot, 75 hp. outboards by Glenn and Harry Riedel and Bob Bode. A new feature of this year's show also is a twenty-fourpage illustrated booklet, prepared by Vernon Gerhardt in cooperation with merchants of Wonder Lake, McHenry and Woodstock, which will be given to spectators. It tells the history of the club and shows pictures of the more dramatic highlights of previous shows. BOWMAN 4* ,/•* "Chuck" Peterson noted that we flidn't have anything to say about the Cubs last week. They were having such a rough time at! that point that we didn't have the heart to add sorrow to' the lives of our dear, dear friaods who love their team so moch.

CROP REPORT Corn has virtually all tasseled and continues rapid progress. sustained by timely showers in most areas throughout the state, according to a report by the Illinois Cooperative Crop Reporting Service. About two-thirds of the acreage is in the dough stage or beyond and nearly one-quarter has reached the dent stagy The crop is developing about a week to 10 days ahead of average but a day or so later than 1962. Some areas, particularly in the south, show adverse effect from lack of moisture in recent weeks. Nearly Mine-tenths of the soybean acreage is in the podding stage and progressing slightly behind a year ago but is about tin days ahead of the 1957-61 average. The oats harvest was Wrapped up two weeks ago. according tb~ the report. STATE HUNTING AREA PERMITS START SEPT. 1 Springfield, 111..

Lake Region Sport Car Club Rallye Held In This Area August 18 th -- Sunday -- a state of confusion was apparent at Bernie Matchen's Service Station. Twenty five foreign and' sport cars of every description converged on this peaceful community. From 12 Noon to 1 p.m. it was noted that two or three men were under, over and in between these little cars, giving what in sport car terminology is known as a "Tech Check." At 12:01 sharp and every minute thereafter, Rallymaster Al Bianchi sent these little noisy cars on their way. Where? Even the contestants didn't know. They had a set of instructions sending them around the country side. Around farms, in and out, up and down hill and dale. The object! To finish up at a predetermined amount of mileage entered on their odometer. Three hours later, all 25 of these noisy little bugs ended up at LaGreca's for a spaghetti and meatball dinner. After all. the title of this rallye was "Agusto Giorno." Rallymaster Al Bianchi gave beautiful gold trophies to Mr. and Mrs. Ray Anderson of Des- Plaines, 1st place winners. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Tober of Crystal Lake took second and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hinman of Lake Zurich were third. It was noted 'bat in case of a tie, judge's decision was final. Al had a ;et of guns strapped to his waist. A good time was had by all as The Lake Region Sport Car Club hashed over the trials and tribulations encountered b\ everyone.

It will be unlawful for any person to have more than 10 shotgun shells in his nossession while bunting on the two state-operated .goose areas. Many powerboat operators seem to resent the fact that according to the "Rules of the Road," sailboats always have the right of way. These antagonists of the wind fleet apparently feel that the sailors were somehow able to swing a lobby and that the rules came about because the sailboat men got there first and the out boarders with the powered rigs are johnny-comelatelies. But that isn't the reason why powerboat men have to give way, chop their throttles, bow and say, "Sails first." The reason lies in the way a sailboat operates. Boatmen of all sorts engage in their pleasures usually on open expanses of water with no carefully defined routes. Courses can be chosen at random. There are no stop streets, no cloverleafs and no center-land markers. To bring some order to the potential chaos this could create, the Rules of the Road were devised. (I don't know why they weren't called "Rules of the Water!") The powerboat man can usually see all the way around the horizon. The veteran powerboatman takes full advantage of this and doesn't look just straight ahead and to the right or left but checks behind him as well befpre he makes any radical change in course. The sailor by contrast frequently operates partially blind.' You just can't see through sails. And further, a sailing vessel precedes against the wind, or any way but downwind, by tacking. To reach a given point, sailing vessels change course and travel a zigzag rather than straight line. The powerboat man should keep in mind that he may be approaching a sailboat from its blind side, that the sailboat may suddenly come about, creating a "collision possibility. Don't expect the sailboat suddenly to clear the way, for it doesn't have powerboat acceleration. So what this amounts to is when the powerboat man stops a sailboat, he should give it as wide hearth as possible. Pass behind a sailboat, not ahead of it. and in restricted passageways, be constantly on the alert for a sailboat to alter its course. Don't use your signal device as a warning to a sailboat, for under the Rules of the Road, whistles are not exchanged be tween a motorboat and a sail ing vessel or between two sailing vessels. The reason for this again isn't based on any inherent snobbery that sailboats won't speak to motorboats, but rather because a motorboat with its greater flexibility is expected to keep out of the way of boats finder sail. AIR SHOW There will be a fiee air and parachute show by Land of Lincoln Skydivers. featuring parachute jumps from 3,000 ti 12,500 feet Monday, Sept. 2. at the Hebron airport, starting at 1 p.m. The term "bullfrog" denotes genus, not gender.
