As the days get longer, the boys "from one to 92' are again coming down with spring fever. During the beautiful weather we had in late January and early February many of the young lads got in a little early spring training. The McHenry Little League officers and managers got in the swing of things with their first meeting of the year last Thursday and much progress was made. The election of officers was held at a fall meeting. so there was no delay in this department. The following officers will serve McHenry's Little League in 1964: President, Ted Pitzen; Vice-President. A1 Olson; Secretary, Bill Bolger; Player Agent, Norm Knaack; Treasurer, Tom Bolger; Minor League President, Jim Lightner; Miniature League President, Ed Doyle; and Field Director, Fred Meyer. Ted Pitzen appointed a committee to check on prices and types of new uniforms for .the coming season. It also looks like we will have a complete new lighting system for the Little League Field. We have purchased some good used poles and lights which should do an excellent job of lighting the field. Registration this year will be at 7:00 p.m. at the V.F.W. on Thursday, April 9th. Every boy in the McHenry Little League area, who wishes to participate in this lead the Hurricanes in their last home game of the season, with Clarence Adams taking second High with 16 points in his final appearance on the Marian home court.

They include Mrs. Jack Thomas, Country Club Estates, and Mrs. Ed. Reid, city of McHenry. Others who will assist at the city hall on Heart Sunday will be Mrs. Anthony Noonan, Mrs. Eugene Miller, Mrs. Glenn Messer, Mrs. George Cina, Mrs. Jack Thomas, Mrs. Edwin Wittrock, Mrs. David Kent and Mrs. Olsen. Envelopes left at each home visited may be returned in person or by mail to the McHenry State bank, headquarters for, the drive fund. Mrs. Olsen stated this week that Mrs. Edwin Eells will be in McHenry on Feb. 23 for annual visitation of key spots. Mrs. Eells is Region 3 campaign coordinator for the 1964 Heart Fund drive in Kane, Kendall, DeKalb and McHenry counties. She is a board members and vice-president of Region 3 and was president of the Illinois Heart association in 1961 and 1962. Dr. B. J. Massouda, county medical adviser for the Heart association and vice-chairman of the McHenry County Heart unit, has released facts concerning the heart which should be of interest to everyone. This week Dr. Massouda said: Cause Of Disease "Heart disease is the most common cause of death in our population and coronary disease is the commonest variety of fatal heart disease. "In 1961 there were 1,701,522 deaths from all causes in the United States, and heart disease deaths numbered 663,391. In general, it is apparent that multiple personal and environmental factors can markedly affect the incidence of coronary disease. "Recently, studies have been made of large groups of people, showing that cigarette smokers in particular, are more prone to die early of certain heart disorders than nonsmokers. "C a r d i o v a s cular disease deaths now total more than 700,000 annually in the United States. "Smoking 1 to 2 cigarettes cause in most persons an increase in resting heart rate of 15 to 25 beats per minute, also a rise of blood pressure. "Men who stop smoking have a lowen death rate from coronacy^ death than those who continue. "Support your heart fund. More will live, the more you give."

If modern automobile engines are a wonder of efficiency compactness and power we can give a hefty share of the thanks to equally modern gasoline that is almost twice as good as it used to be. Compared with 1930 when one ton of car weight wa>< moved about 33 miles per gallon; present-day fuel will move a ton about 50 mil<\s under the same conditions. The improvement is largely accomplished in higher octane ratings that have crept up to the point where most gasolines today are higherrated than fighter aircraft fuel of World War II. What fuel rating is right for your car? About 30 percent of all cars on the road today require a premium fu£l and their owners would sacrifice performance without a corresponding saving in miles-per-gallon by failing to use it. Generally speaking, if the compression ratio of your engine is 8.7 or less, "standard grades are sufficient. Upwards of that ratio you are saving nothing with standard gas and you could do real harm to your engine. Whatever the compression rating of your engine, your ignition timing must be set correctly for best performance and economy. Oil company researchers making spot checks report an average of 86 iwrcent of cars have their ignition timing set imperfectly. Ninety percent of these had advanced timing and the balance retarded. You'd be wise to bring your car in for a timing check and then evaluate it for the right" gas octaine in case your compression is border-line. BI'SS FORD SALES S9S0 \V. M.iin Street
