Thursday, September 5, 1963 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Page Nin^ Ringwood Softball Team In Play-Ofis Lor Bremuui 7 WX. M45 Since I am writing this column on Friday this week, I can only tell you that Ringwood can finish no lower than second place in the Championship playoffs. They' defeated the Genoa City Merchants Team on Wednesday by a score of 8 to 3, putting them into the finals. Last Thursday night they played the first game of the playoffs and won by beating Hebron by a score of 5 to 0. The boys played Aug. 30 for the championship, with a possibility of a doubleheader if they lose the first game. This is a two out of three for the title of CHAMPIONSHIP WINNERS. It would be quite a feat if the boys could go on and win, since it would mean that the first place team won the playoffs. You can bet that Ringwood will be represented well for the games. School Days!! School is in session as of Tuesday Sept 3 with a half day for getting bills paid and knowing your teacher. Wednesday was the first day of school for our Ringwood youngsters. The new school hours are as follows: 8:55 a.m. to 3 p.m. Make sure your children get to school on time. It makes us stop and wonder just where the summer did go doesn't it? It seems just like a few weeks ago that they were out for the summer months and now comes September. Keep in mind that these youngsters will be riding bikes to and from school from now on, and when driving by, watch out for their sudden movements. We would like to keep our boys and girls safe. home of Mrs. Ruby Shepard on Thursday. The Pages were returning home after spending aeveral days vacationing at the Wisconsin Dells. On Thursday evening, Loren Harrison was a supper guest in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Brennan and family. Mrs. Louis Hawley attended a party in Chicago last week. She was a guest in the home of Mrs. Eleanor Carlson on Wednesday and Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. James Wegener and son, Freddy, were callers in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Phelphs Saunders on Tuesday afternoon. I'm sorry for such a short column for Ringwood this week, but with the early deadline there just wasn't much news. Keep in mind that your news over the holiday weekend will be good for the coming week. Give me a call, I'll be glad to get any and all news. You might keep in mind that. Sept, 25 is the first community club meeting for the 1963-64 school year. I'll notify you later for full details. 'Bye for now, see you next week? Kenneth R. Popes Vtrittng Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth R. Pope will be' spending a couple of days visiting his parents, the Kenneth Popes. Last Thursday, the Popes left to visit relatives in the southern part of the state and were expected to be in Ringwood on Monday. After visiting with relatives and friends here they will be on their way to Smithville, Mo., where they will be attending school until the week before Christmas. Their address is as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth R. Pope c/o Gospel Missionary Union; Smithville, Mo., in case anyone would like to write the young couple.

Birthday wishes are extended to all three of these girls. Here 'N' There Mr. and Mrs. Ray Page of McHenry were callers in the ROTARY NEWS Out-of-town Rotarians visiting our club meeting last week were Hugh Deneen, past president Harvard; past presidents of the Richmond club, Dr. J. F. Harris and Fred Gunderson; Tom Burgess and Jim Longway of the newly formed Rotary club of Crystal Lake, Oscar Iber, a member of the No. 1 Chicago club, whom we consider as our adopted member, was present also. When Oscar misses one of our meetings it is news as he attends consistently and the quietness of the meeting is always noticeable. Service Above Self -- one of the principles of Rotary -- is being exemplified by one of our members, Larry Fuhrer, and his Rotary Ann Neva. They have accepted the chairmanship for the cystic fibrosis fund drive for McHenry county and have been very busy organizing their committees. Let all of us show we appreciate their efforts in trying to help people less fortunate by greeting the worker that calls at our/home with, a smile and give whatever we think we can afford. "Must I be giving again and again, forever?" "Oh no," said the angel," his glance pierced me through: "Just give 'til the Master stops giving to you." Wonder Lake Hoffmans See Son Graduate Mary Loo Harteg - Harold and Jeanette Hoffman of 5009 E.

One given by friends where she was employed, one at the Parratore home in Greenwood, and one at the home of'Joyce Motulewicz in Wonder Lake. Aunt Mary once said, after a long round of feeding preachers at a protracted meeting -- "I don't have a single chicken left --they've all entered the ministry." news. I know there are a zillion things going on around here but I'm not around all day and I miss out on the coffee-klatchin' so I don't know about what's going on unless you let me in on it. I will accuse you this week because you probably forgot that the deadline was three days early because of Labor Day, but next week let's get in there' with the news, OK? Legion Post News Attention all Boy Scouts. With the beginning of school troop meetings will begin. The Wonder Lake Boy Scout troop will meet on Monday nights at the American Legion Post home.

TEEN-AGE PROBLEM "Dear Editor: "There's a crazy problem 'teen-agers of McHenry have to face every time they go to the theatre. We pay adult prices, yet we are not adults. Still, when an adult movie comes there is always an age limit and that leaves us out 4,I think that there should be an adult price and a price for high school students. "Sandi Miller "816 N. Green St. "McHenry" Johnsburg Brownie Troop Needs Leader Betty Hettermaoa In order to continue, troop 389 urgently needs a woman to lead them. This troop has been together a year and would like to go on. Their former leader has had to quit due to ill health. Dorothy Adams will continue as co-leader if another woman will take over dealership. Please, if you have some time to spare won't you please volunteer for this job. Contact Dorothy if you wpuld like to know more about it. Later Date For Meeting Because of Labor Day, the Johnsburg Community Club will meet on Sept. 9 in place of the regular first Monday of the month. Keep your eye on the new addition--its nearing completion. Rescue Squad Calls Recently the rescue squad answered two calls within one day. One took them to a home in Niesen's subdivision where a visiting relative suffered a fatal attack. In the same neighborhood later that evening, a resident had to be taken to the McHenry hospital. Last week a Chicago visitor suffered a possible heart attack and was taken in the squad ambulance to the hospital. Thursday evening a youth was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. Because of the early deadline this week we are not as yet aware of the success of the dance sponsored by the rescue squad. Can there be any doubt as to why we should back them 100 per cent? Just keep in mind the number of calls they answer, day or night, week in and week out. Hospital Notes Paul Boyk is coming along real well since his recent attack over a week ago. If everything continues as it has, he should be able to return to his Chicago home soon. Change Of Meeting Date A note to all juvenile girl Forester members the next meeting will be held on Sept. 16 instead of Sept. 9. It will begin as usual at 7 p.m., in the Community Club hall. News is real short this week due to the early deadline. Be sure to call next week by noon on Monday. With the children all back in school and things almost back to normal you may have a little more time to call your items into me. I hope so-- you tidbits are what keeps this column interesting.

Otto Kerner, effective Jan. 1, 1964, in which justices of the peace or police magistrates who will become associate judges of the circuit court under the Blue Ballot Judicial articles will receive their salaries from the state rather than the county.

Jan Rades -- 815-385-4694 by Ross Emerson A congenital indifference to pain is a rarity which has intrigued the medical world for some time. Males and females seem to be equally afflicated by this strange immunity which often is discovered only by accident. Little is known about its cause. It is not related to the relative lack of sensation of the mentally retarded and its subjects may also be insensitive to taste and smell. Itching is a nuisance often beyond experience. Family incidence is the exception rather than the rule. In some quarters lefthandedness has been mentioned as an accompaniment of this strange affliction. Come to think of it, we make it a perfectly painless chore to have prescriptions i l l i t s d a t MILLSTRE4M OKIJGS, INC. Service is quick and sure.
