Split Tickets Seldom has there been so much split-ticket voting, ap parent not only in McHenry and the county but in many places where the gubernatorial candidates made a better showing than the national ticket. This year's county vote was still being canvassed at 1 o'clock Wednesday. A total of 38,840 were cast in 1960, much above 32,227, the previous high total for a presidential year. No totals were available at noon concerning the Blue Ballot proposals. However, statewide it was believed both would be successful when the final tally was completed. DEER KILLED Two deer died in highway accidents in the county this past week. One was killed Wednesday night when the animal ran into the fender of a car driven by James Hughes of 1223 S. Blackhawk, McHenry, as he drove on Rt. 176, neav Burton's Bridge. Neither the driver nor his passenger, Dorothey Hughes, was hurt. Another deer was struck by a car driven by Donald Witt of Crystal Lake the same evening. The accident occurred on Rt. 14, near Memorial Park cemetery, Woodstock. Pclitics may or may not create strange bedfellows--but it does create n lot of bunk. Walter Guse, of .Moose Lodge 1329 in Woodstock, is shown presenting check to Russell Switzer of McHenry, president of the McHenry County Association for Retarded Children. Joining in the presentation ceremony held recently at the lodge were William Pierce, left, from the association; James Thomas, governor of the Woodstock lodge, next to Mr. Switzer; and William Higgins, far right. The Moose, with the help of other service organizations in Woodstock and with donations from merchants, presented an evening of entertainment that opened with the Viscounts of McHenry playing before a large crowd in front of the lodge hall, followed by dinner and dancing. The proceeds will be used for operation of the association's training center in Wonder Lake, where six McHenry county regarded children attend school five days a week under the capable supervision of Mrs.yMaugine Kretzschmer of Harvard.

YOUNG FATHER OF FOUR LOSES LIFE IN CRASH (Continned From Page 1) Three McHenry men learned again what a small world we live in. The three, Bill Dumalski, Ben Francke and Chuck Peterson, visited the University of Illinois during the weekend of Oct. 24 and 25 for Dads Day and Chicago Day. During their visit, when they had occasion to get together, they learned that they attended the same high school, Lane Technical, in Chicago and graduated together. Dumalski and Francke also attended the University of Illinois at the same time. Undoubtedly there are more acts of neglect of animals constantly in our midst that those of us with humane instincts like to admit. Nevertheless, sometimes they come to our attention and we feel compelled to try to give help if possible. A call from Mrs. Raleigh Pulver of 1609 N. Meadow Lane, Lakeland Park, Tuesday afternoon told of a loyal mother cat with six beautiful kittens about 2 months old. They have taken refuge beneath the- porch of a neighboring house. Mrs. Pulver is looking ahead to cold weather and hopes someone will relieve her in her role of providing for the animals by taking them into their home. Pen pals of three years had their first meeting this past week in McHenry. Mi's.

The driver was thrown from the car and was found unconscious. He was taken to McHenry hospital for treatment. Walter Kalemba of 525 N. Elaine Terrace, McHenry, escaped with only minor injuries and abrasions Wednesday evening when he lost control of his car on Chapel Hill road near the Schmitt farm south of Johnsburg.

CHAMPION CALIBRE "Dear i^ditor: "As an exciting and highly successful McHenry high school football season draws to a close I would like to take this opportunity to publicly acknowledge those persons who have made the many sacrifices to the spirited Warrior effort of the fall season. Needless to say, there have been thrills beyond our wildest imaginations and expectations. "Head coach Dean Hargis and his capable assistants, Dick Rabbitt, Cliff Fulton and Bud Murray, have done a remarkable job and should be commended for much of the team's success. It has taken more cooperation and dedication than the average football fan is able to realize to mold the winning combination. Staff meetings are endless and literally hour after hour has been spent viewing films to pin-point the details. "The squad itself has exhibited a keen competitive spirit and sense of determination all season long -- sometimes against adversities such as injuries to key personnel or penalties which have snuffed out touchdowns or long gains. "I am convinced in my own mind that this spirit and determination on the part of the football team as it has been displayed on the gridiron over the past seven weeks has "rubbed off", so to speak, on an unprecedented percentage of our student body. "As supporters of the Wai^ riors and citizens of the community, regardless of the outcome of the approaching game with North Chicago for the conference championship, let us not lose sight of the many contributions of so many personstliat have already made this 1964 season a really memorable one. As far as I am personally concerned, whether we are victorious or very sad dened next \Friday night, the Warriors and| their coaches will be champions in my book. "J. R.

"On Halloween Eve, we experienced such an act. We treated all children who came to our door to goodies. But at 2:20 a.m. a boy who graduates next year thought he was funny when he threw a pumpkin through a bedroom window, just inches away from two sleeping girls. My wife was up at the time and ran out seconds later. She would have caught the boy but cut her foot on glass from the broken window. "She saw who the boy was. Shocked? No, we were not. He has been in and out of trouble before. He has a very warped sense of humor. We are a little puzzled because he threw an American flag in our front yard along with pears his mother was to can. "These are the type of boys who cause street fights because they lack discipline at home. An idle--mind is an evil mind. Onlsp a selfish, self-centered child would do such a radical ing. An emotionally unstable child does such things hoping to be the center of attraction. Had this boy been a second slower in moving he would have been more surprised than we were. "To steal and destroy others' property is a very serious matter. Next time, sonny boy, wear gloves and don't leave fingerprints. Let's hope a word to the wise is sufficient.
