Northern llKni Bowmen News May 21st is the date of the outdoor "Spring Fling" archery invitational shoot by Northern mini Bowmen. This 28 field target shoot is 20 pin registered with both State and National Archery Associations. Actual shooting registration will be from 7 am to 1 pm but shooting will continue to 4:30 pm when awards will be presented. Trophies will goto first place winners and medals for second and third place in all classes. Anticipating close to 200 participants from Chicago area as well as locally, Marilyn Gustafson has proposed a noon menu of ham plate and sloppy Joe's with coffee and rolls for the early birds. The American public is presently going through a "Recreation Binge". They are starving for a recreational need which will get them out-ofdoors, and at the same time allow them to enjoy the recreation as a family group. Very few organized sports can fill this desire, and still afford a reasonable cost for the enjoyment plus the ability to travel from place to place for participation. Archery, whether of the target, field or hunting variety happens to be one of the sports which can and does fill the bill. Everyone is invited this coming Sunday, May 21st to the Northern Illini Bowmen outdoor archery range on Draper Road just (me mile west of McHenry off Route 120. Follow the target signs to the range. May Club Shoot registered 44 shooters with the winners being: firsts to Oscar Sommer and Joan Copley; seconds to Cal Houser and Jean Bird; thirds to Chuck Dussman and Ardene Raven. The junior class was won by Paul Bird, 2nd by Beth Houser and 3rd by Billy Copley. imuume 'H ARTIST SHOWS 300 SLIDES FOR FRIENDSHIP CLUB Jim Pearson gave the members and guests of the Friendship club of the Community Methodist church a wonderful tour of a number of European countries with his excellent slides last Saturday evening. Hie slides were noi like the pictures taken by the average tourist but each showed that the artist had composed it. Some of the highlights were the iimmiiai pictures taken in the Capuchin churches in Italy, showing some of their customs. Nearly everyone has shown the leaning Tower of Pisa as in an open field, by itself. He showed the church, as well as the tower, making a complete picture. There were 300 slides in all. Mrs. Velma Douglas and Mrs. Mary Butler are to be congratulated on the fine program. hnfoot MhePark * COMliY * O'QIQQGfiO * RDROA O'RIDStDJ at.WMUWMUO.3.11 mnsshniTsTsirsu : _ A «5K1. 0:1 __r r a le Ttsss. thru hi. _ _ £?cd. 4 Thvf.

MJO ItMtavnnt I Shops Opm At Noon Startta Jm •-- lima trim By Bill Bolger Ron Miller, a Little League graduate and a real baseball enthusiast, has ^agreed to be our official scorer. He will also jot down some of the'highlights of each game and report them to you each week in this column. This year the Little League board decided to hold a play-off at the end of the season with the top four teams participating for the play-off championship. This was done so that all teams would be in the thick of the race over most of the season. It will be interesting to see how it works Out. The season got under way last week end with a ful reschedule of games. The weather was a bit r chilly- but the crowds were large and noisy. The park is beautiful 'this year and even the umpires commented on the improve- < ments at the park. Who said umpires can't see! On Friday night the Cardinals overcame an early lead by the Owls and coasted to victory. Saturday night saw the Orioles jumped off to an early lead, but they failed to hold it as the Hawks overpowered them. On Sunday afternoon the Eagles squared off against the Falcons. The Falcons squeaked by in a close game. On Sunday night the Condors and Bluebirds went eight innings before the Bluebirds pulled it out.

Last Saturday, on the Zion-Benton rock pile, the Warriors meekly succumbed in another double defeat in conference play. The first game was shortened to six innings because of the ten run rule, as the weary Warrior mound staff took a 13-3 drubbing. With two starters absent due to an injury and junior testing, the Warriors committted three errors in assisting the eight Zee- Bee base hits. In the second game Tim Trimble, a Warren Spahn lefty, K*d 15 Warriors and allowed only three singles in continuing the lefty jinx which has haunted the orange and black all season. Bob Funk and Kit Carstens combined to allow only three earned runs in the Zion total of five, but the Warrior lumber was again strangely silent as the McHenry nine once again went into a watching slump and forgot to swing the Louisevilles. Final Score: Zion 5, McHenry 0. Jerry Bakonec, returning all conference selection for Zion, smashed the Warrior slants for five base hits in six official trips to the plate, and the next three men in the order did much the same, even though a couple of long smashes were hit on pitches right off the shoe tops. This Saturday the Warriors will face the slants of iron man Vince Tolpo, who pitches every inning of every game for the Broncos of Barrington. Game time is 10:30 in the last home appearance of the season for McHenry. Let's hope Mr. Weatherman co-operates, and the Warriors come out of their Saturday slumber. WSI THE CLAgi Display Fine A rts At Country Fair Old Fashion Trunk Showing Theme Of '67 Summa? Event Visitors to the eleventh annual McHenry Country Art Fair June 16 to 18 will see some of McHenry County's finest arts displayed, including paintings, drawings, creative ceramics, sculptor, photography, and children's creativeness. What the public will not see are the many hours of work and planning put into the Country Art Fair, This year McHenry county is preparing to assist the state in celebrating Illinois' sesquencentennial and In preparing for this, the eleventh annual Country Art Fair will use a theme of an old fashioned Trunk Showing. A trunk showing in "ye olden days" was just that--the opening of a trunk holding creative art pieces for enjoyment or for sale. McHenry county artists, both the hobbyist and those who make a living through some type of art, will pack their wares into a trunk which will be opened and displayed for three days. Sponsors of the fair, the woman's auxiliary to the McHenry hospital, is headed by Mrs. Claude McDermott, McHenry. A committee of artists and auxiliary members work diligently in the preparations for the fair. To get things underway, chairmen of the fair begin planning it shortly after Christmas. This is just what Mrs. William Strout, Crystal Lake, Mrs. James Kenton and Mrs. Harry Eckland, both McHenry, have done as co-chairman. These three have also planned a weekend of fine arts entertainment of happenings in keeping with the fair atmosphere. McHenry county artists are invited by letter and phone for this year's Fair. Registration instructions and blanks were sent out and are to be returned by May 31 to Mrs. Dwight Wernquist, McHenry, chairman of the registrations. AID HOSPITAL Proceeds from the fair are used for the McHenry hospital and a large part of these are obtained from Datron's purchases. Patrons are businesses, professional people and individuals who pledge a sum of money toward ths purchase of a piece of art work. Then on June 15 the patrons are permitted to make the first selections of an art object before public viewing. Last year patrons purchased $4,240 worth of art. In other preparations for the fair, tickets must be prepared and distributed. Mrs. Elmer Antonson and Mrs. Richard Matt, both of McHenry, have worked this out for the 1967 Fair and tickets have beat distributed to all other committee members. Publicizing the fair is done largely by posters which were designed by Robert Gray, Crystal Lake, and silk screened by Mrs. Matt Woolfe of McHenry. Mrs. Barbara Tade, Crystal Lake, will present a oneman stowing of paintings, stitchery, collages and a number of other creative medium which are not difficult for the average person. Artists will bring their wares to the McHenry Junior high school on June 10 and 11. All pictures, ceramic and sculptor pieces must be handled and numbered. The receiving of these items will be in the hands of Mrs. Richard Wilhelm and Mrs. Lee Cooney both McHenry. The hanging of the show is charged by Gerritt Beverwyk, Crystal Lake. SILENT AUCTION Along with the art pieces to be displayed and possibly sold, artists are providing a number of other donations for the silent auction which will be handled by Mrs. Allan Leibsohn, McHenry. There will be special sales in the gym of the school providing reasonably priced art pieces, all in charge of Mrs. Charles Liebman, McHenry. Also in the gym will be other offerings such as demonstrations of creative know-how by artists, a large children's 'We Would Rather Switch Than Fight"\ MODIFIED STOCK CAR RACING Changed to Friday Nite§ Begining Friday May 19th Kenosli pft.Fairgrounds Spggiway Wilmot, Wis.

PARISH PLANS TRIDUUM SPECIAL PRAYER SERVICE Members of St. Mary's parish, McHenry, will engage in three days of special prayer (Triduum) honoring the Virgin Mary. This will be the fourth annual observance of the Devotion, when the Blessed Virgin is honored under, her title of "Our Mother of Perpetual HelDk" It serves as a renewal for the weekly Tue sday evening devotion. Paragraph 69 of the "Constitution on the Church" of Vatican Council n reads: "Let the entire body of the faithful pour forth persevering prayer to the Mother of God and- the Mother of men. Let them implore that she who aided the beginnings of the Church by her prayers may now., intercede with her son in the fellowship of all the saints." The response of McHenry Catholics to the annual Triduum has always been one of enthusiasm in the spirit of age old devotion to the Mother of God. Father Oswald Austin of the Redemptorist fathers will lead the devotions and preach the homily each evening. He is a noted preacher and missionary, a native of Gee long, Victoria, Australia, and presently Rector of the Redemptorist Monastery at Sydney. He made his primary, secondary and seminary studies in Australia and was ordained in 1945 at Ballarat. After two years of graduate work in Rome he returned to the Seminary at Ballarat^ where he was Professor of Philosophy for twelve years. Rectorships at Melbourne and Sydney followed. He is an elected representative to the Redemptorist general chapter in Rome next September. He came to the States in March to attend preparatory meetings of English speaking Redemptorists at Glenview. Father Austin will lead the devotions and preach each evening. Services begin at 7:30 p.m., Sunday through Tuesday.

SCHOOL BILL "Dear Friends: '/I would like to call your attention to Senate Bill 1496 which has been introduced in Springfield by Senator John Graham ofr Barrington, with Senator Karl Berning of the 32nd district fis a co-sponsor. This bill will permit -- not compel -- a school district, to operate on a staggered quarter schedule. I'm sorry that our legislators have limited themselves to the oldest school calendar revision proposal which, although it presents many economies, has two great handicaps: it would send children in the same family tp school different schedules, and only 25 percent of the students would vacation during the summer months, the rest vacationing in the other three quarters. As a mother, I couldn't take my children for all of December, January and February! "As many of you know, Ihave spent ten years trying to develop a better calendar, and I prefer what is usually called a 12-4 plan, which would send children to school for thirty-six weeks, of 180 days, as at present, but gets rid of the long three-month vacation altogether. Instead, the student would have twelve weeks of school, followed by four weeks of vacation, all year 'round -- with an additional two weeks at the end of summer, before the beginning of the next term (or six sumrtfer weeks in all), and the ijsual Christmas holiday. "With one-quarter of the students enrolled in sequence, every four w«eks, only 75 percent of the total enrollment would be in attendance at any time and the capacity of a building would be increased by one-third -- which means a long moratorium on bond issues and more tax dollars available for higher sal- VALLEY ViEW PRESENTS SPRING MUSIC PROGRAM Children of the fourth, fifth and sixth grades at Valley View school will present a spring music program Wednesday, May 24, at 1 o'clock, under the direction of Mrs. Dorothy Hollander. The program theme is "Around the World in Song," featuring music from other lands as well as from the United States. There will be solos, ensembles and folk dances to highlight the progrm. a spiny boat you've got there, Charlie. Was it insured, Charlie? Don ( he .i Cluirlio.

"I cannot lake space here to describe this plan in detail, but some of the advantages are: All the children in one family, and one neighborhood, on the same schedule; less "forgetting time" for students; remedial work if needed, after twelve weeks instead of waiting until the chiid is far behind; better programs for urban children with the school's athletic, social and cultural facilities open all year round; fewer juvenile problems and more job opportunities with only twenty-five out of 100 students at liberty at any time; a one-third increase in tfte annual income of teachers who want forty-eight weeks of employmentLJn their profession, at no additional cost to taxpayers; 36-week contracts for teachers who perfer fewer weeks of work, "Although, the Senate bill mentions only the old staggered quarter plan, there are many proposals we should evaluate. For example, the Education department of the state of New York has developed a calendar which promises annual savings of $140,000,000, and exciting experiments are going on elsewhere. I am asking those of you who are interested in more efficient school operation to write Senator Graham, or Senator Berning immediately, to suggest that their bill should also permit operation on a 12-4 plan if any district chooses to solve its financial problems with a revised calendar. You might also suggest that calendar revision be undertaken as an official function of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Thank you. "Mrs. Charles Liebman "410 S.
