I HEAR Earl Walsh * After our line last week about changing plans for a trip to Milwaukee to a tour through Bar revi lie, who should come in but Kathy Blake with a newspaper clipping telling of a hand grenade being found on Barreville Road. Where the heck do we go now? They had straight razors from 36 cents to two bucks, used for shaving and trimming corns. There was no inflation in those days and a dollar was a dollar. We have had great fun looking through an old, old catalogue brought in by Alex Adams, a 1916 Sears Roebuck & Co. of Dallas, Texas number. We had a lot of fun with your book, Alex. Soma young sprouts who saw it just can't believe prices were ever that low. There are no mini-skirts in that 1916 issue. And you should see those hats for ladies! Paul Thennes phoned to ask us to tell you that McHenry has a group who want to start a soccer team. Call 385-0032. That game of soccer is catching on fast in this country. A man could buy a pair of button shoes for $1.45 or fancied up numbers for $1.95. The harness section and horse collars bring back memories of days on the farm. We looked for weeks at a picture of a saddle for our pony before earning enough to send for it. Men could buy detachable collars, rubber, linen or celluloid, 63 cents for 6. You could wash your neck and put on a clean collar* Who changed his shirt every day anyhow? Wonder why people don't sign their names? A card came in, Signs For Sale Cheap "We're Number One." The card continues, Also found out reported "Sonic Booms" were not booms, but the Braves hitting the beautiful vines. Do you suppose that was a Cub fan throwing in the towel? La 1916 you could dress up in a $6.75 overcoat with velvet collar. A real dude could go forth in a $13.75 chinchilla. You could buy a tire for your car and get a red inner tube, guaranteed for 5,000 miles. There has been much more interest in our house concerning the city of Detroit than merely a place for the White Sox to play ball. Our daughter, Patricia, was home the past weekend after weathering the storm of Detroit riots for too long. We would have liked keeping her right here, but her duties as a social worker are calling. Looks like these people have their work cut out for them. Mom and Dad are worried, but proud.

Place in National Competition inri£UA6U£ Kssm- CMOS Founders' Days Boat Regatta At Algonquin From far and wide they will come to participate in the annual Founders' Days Boat Regatta (Mi Sunday, August 20th, so stated Hale Treadwell this past week. According to his latest figures boats will gather at Treadwells Marine in Algonquin from most of the forty marinas and resorts from the Chain of Lakes and the Fox river south to the Algonquin dam to compete for the many trophies and awards. Beginning at noon the flotilla will proceed south to the Algonquin dam. Other events planed for the day in connection with Founders Days will be the water thrill show starting at 11 a.m. just above the dam. Stunt skiing and bathing beauties by the score are all offered free for the viewing. At 2:30 p.m. in the village park the golden anniversary of the Algonquin old timers baseball game featuring stars of the long since past golden era of when baseball was king in the Fox River Valley. Ready to perform on the field of battle will be those stars of the Algonquin Old Timers vs. The Elgin Old Timers. John Santilli of McHenry and Cindy Sue Neeley of Cary competed in the United States Amateur Roller Stating Championship event July 8th at North Ave. Rink in Melrose Park. These young skaters competed in the dance division, representing the McHenry Dance and Figure Club of the Just For Fun Roller Rink. They were taught by Barry Raff of Lombard and qualified for the UJS. Championship by virtue of a third place finish in the state. This year McHenry*s Little League experimented with a play-off patterned after the Stanley Cup play-offs in the National Hockey League, in which the top four teams participate for the championship. The teams were so closely matched that the final game played by each team had a bearing on the standings. These teams ended up in a tie for 4th place and they had to play-off before the play-offs could get underway. In regular season play the Cardinals finished in first place followed by the Owls, Falcons and Bluebirds. In the play-offs the Falcons defeated the Cardinals in two straight while the Bluebirds eliminated the Owls in 2 out of 3. The Bluebirds and Falcons put on a real battle with the Bluebirds winning the play-off championship by taking 2 out of 3. In the minors the Condors finished the season in first place but failed in the play-offs as the minor Bluebirds took the championship. This is only (ha, 2nd time in our 13 year history that a major and minor league team under the saihe sponsor (Tonyan Construction Co.) have won the championship in the same year. In the miniature league, the Indians, managed by George and "Hezzie" Miller combined good pitching with aggressive base running and coasted to the championship. N. Athletes " • Away S. E. John Storzer, whose Ripon College football teams have won or shared the Midwest conference title four straight years and fashioned a dazzling 35 - 4-1 record in the past five seasons, has ample reason to anticipate fielding another contender this fall. McHenry has two lettermen on the squad, John Corso at tackle, and John Fleck at center. Remember the tortoise and the hare? Both would be chumps in today's highway traffic. The Institute for Safer Living says: Don't travel too fast for prevailing road or street conditions. You may lose the race with death. On the other hand, don't be a turtle and obstruct the flow of traffic. Too fast, too slow, somebody's sure to get hurt. low-cost, package policy Ca E0WNERS. AVE $ $ $ $ Dennis Conway 3315 W.
