FOOTBALL COACH SO I. HEAR " By Earl Walsh We often repeat stories, but St. Patrick's Day couldn't dawn without our thoughts going back to our father. He came from the old sod. WILLIAM " BILL " DAY Coach "Bill" Day came to McHenry last fall and gave the Warrior football team a big lift in a season filled with excitement. He attended Lyons Township high school in LaGrange, 111., where he participated in football and track and was the mile champion on the track team. Graduating from Coe College in 1956 with a B.A. degree he went on to State U. of Iowa in Iowa City for his M.A. degree. In college 4'Bill" played football in his first two years and was on the track team for 4 years, being named most valuable player in his junior year. His participation as a player continued as follows: Marine Corps - Football 2 years at San Francisco Supply Depot, Basketball 2 years atSan Francisco Supply Depot, Track - 3 years All-Marine Corps Track Meet. Coach Day brought a lot of • coaching experience with him as he came to McHenry: , Woodland at Streator, 111., - ' 1957-1962 Head football - Soph, basketball - Varisty Track. Batavia, 111 - 1962-1967. Head Football - Frosh Basketball - JV Basketball - Varsity Track. McHenry - Head Football - Frosh Basketball - Ass't. Track. Now if he can find a couple of big tackles for the Warriors next fall, his second season as head football coach seems bright. He wasn't much of a singer, but even before a cup of coffee early in the momin', he would burst forth with the likes of "The Hat Me Fa-a-t-h-e-r Wore". When we were real young, he wore a black derby hat and we were sure it was the hat in the song. Our wife (who isn't Irish) thinks we plaster too much green on the 17th of March. Says anybody could tell our ancestry by one look at us. Then she goes outandbuysus a shamrock. The first card came from that bloody Englishman, FredFowles, and Lou -- "Green beer in a solid gold stein." There was a note with the card "you can watch the Sox and Cubs, but save one good eye for this new team (a picture from a Florida paper of bikini girls playing baseball) you may have to use both eyes." Needless to say, it is nice to be remembered by good friends -- and we got a good chuckle out of the card and enclosures. Our Irish eyes are smilin' early this year. A SHAMROCK OF BLESSINGS The blessing of Saint Patrick be--with us in the morning,- To make us strong and valiant for the labours of the day. The blessing of Saint Brigid be with us in the noonday, To give us joy and gladness when we work or when we play. The blessing of Saint Colmcille be with us in the evening, And when we sail-poor exiles - on. sleep's mysterious sea. Through all the years, at every hour, in sunshine and in shadow. May we be blest and guarded by Ireland's glorious Three.

All who wish to donate to this event are asked to bring items to the lodge before Sunday. The public is invited to attend. Eureka The gear train that is the basic mechanism in practically all clocks is thought to have been invented in the 3rd century B.C. by Archimedes. combo is Mike Janik. Reinboldt pitched and played some first base for last years Warrior squad. The squad will be shy some key returning lettermen who are not out this season for personal reasons, so the ball club stacks up basically as one composed of underclassmen. The following athletes reported for the initial meeting, and from this list Pll have to fill the other spots on^the roster. The group conjiiwup from the sophomore team^f last year includes Larry Cristy, Tim Greidanus, Jerry Freund, Dave Sundby, Steve Salter, Dave ckman, Mike Antonicelli,and sophomore Tom Janik. Seniors who are out include Steve Kutnick, Jeff Jensen and Scott Carber. Junior hopefuls who transferred in are Larry Miller and Roy Ingram, along with Mike Neubauer and Phil Owen. The team will once again be aided by student managers MikeMikkelsen and Dan Etten, the two best managers in the conference, bar none. It's much too early to set a lineup or have much of an idea of how much talent Pll have, but I can assure you that we will work hard and give 110% daily. By next week I should have some idea of how the squad is shaping up, and also have a rundown on who to watch in the North Suburban this year.

Today, "artificial" ice, frozen and controlled by steel pipe refrigeration systems, enable youngsters and oldsters to enjoy ice skating the year round. THERE ARE NOW nearly 1,000 refrigerated rinks in this country. Most of them are exposed outdoors, like this Olympic-sized rink in California. Measuring 90 by 180 feet, its ice is made with the help of 16 miles of steel pipe buried in a concrete slab. The steel pipe has no trouble standing up to freezing temperatures as well as to the steam circulated through it to melt ice. ICE SKATING HAS come indoors, too--and often in novel ways. While their mothers shopped during one recent holiday season, 75,000 youngsters enjoyed free skating on a temporary ice rink set up in a Philadelphia department store. The portable rink was made practical by the use of low-cost, longlived, and easy-to-install steel pipe. Committee of Steel Pipe Producers, A.I.S.I. / FAMILY POT LUCK ^5?

NEW TROOPERS The Illinois State Police academy graduated 49 new troopers last week. Supt. of Illinois State Police William H. Morris said that a second class began training Jan. 1 and a third class will take the place of today's graduates. A total of 300 new officers will be added to the force under current manpower authorization. Professional studies include criminal investigation, weapons, jurisprudence, traffic law enforcement and subjects such as first-aid and judo. Applications are being received for additional classes by the State Police Merit Board, Ridgely Building, Springfield, 111. 62706. Entrance tests are being held throughout the state on the first Saturday of, each month, at 14 State Police district headquarters offices. Grapefruit often has skin defects, such as scale, scars, thorn scratches or discolorations -- but these Imperfections usually don't effect eating quality. Start off dinner with a tangy, different, appetizer. Just cut a grapefruit in half, top it off with a buttery-syrup and pop it in the broiler until browned. Serve warm, adding a cherry for decoration. A good t o p p i n g for i c e creams and desserts is easy. Try an envelope of dessert topping mix with 1/2 cup of cold milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candy. For a quick chocolate sauce, melt over low heat 2 teaspoons butter, 6 ounces chocolate chips and 1 cup evaporated milk. Blend thoroughly. Meat loaf mixture can be baked in muffin tins with a frosting of chili sauce or catsup for a quick main dish. Helen's Favorite: Chocolate Nut Drops (Makes 36) 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate bits 2/3 cup condensed milk 1 cup oats, quick or regular 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla Melt chocolate, without stirring, in top of double boiler. Turn on heat under double boiler; add remaining ingredients. Stir well. Keep candy over hot water while dropping by teaspoonf u l s onto g r e a s e d c o o k i e sheet Top each with an almond. Refrigerate until firm. Two very important principles are set forth in the recent voluminous report of the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders (The Kerner Commission). First, the Commission urges the American people to adopt "new attitudes, new understanding, and above all, new will," to bridge the gulf which separates citizens on the basis of race. Second, the Commission notes that "violence and destruction must be ended", if we are to build a better society. To some extent these admonitions already have been recognized by the Congress and the legislatures of many of the 50 states in new laws aimed at eliminating discrimination in employment, public accommodations, education, housing, etc. Also, at all levels of Government, steps are being taken to reduce lawlessness and to asisure order and stability in our cities. Many of the Commission's recommendations can be implemented without Federal appropriations or large private expenditures. Indeed, changed attitudes on the part of the public (which would not costa cent) would reap untold economic benefits through the use of talents on the basis of merit and without regard to race or color. Stricter obedience to the law and increased respect for law enforcement officials will follow naturally from improved opportunities in education, housing, and employment. However, a majbr part of the Comfnission's report depends on new and expensive Federal programs reminiscent of many which have failed in the past to improve either race relations or the economic climate of our disadvantaged citizens. Thereport declares that the major demand is to "tax ourselves to the extent necessary to meet the vital needs of the Nation." Not only does the Commission recommend taking immediate action "to create two million jobs over the next three years, one million in the public sector" but it urges Federal appropriations to make outright payments to welfare recipients which will guarantee more than $3,000.00 a year for an urban family of four. The report goes on to urge additional Federal expenditures for public housing, model cities, rent supplements, urban renewal and other Federal programs of questionable value. Although the report fails to mention the price tag, it is reported to be about $32 billion dollars to be financed with increased federal taxes or additions to the National Debt. The emphasis on such Federal undertakings is confusing in view of the Commission's recognition of the deficiencies in the present system of public welfare, job training, and housing. Indeed, the Commission admits quite candidly that "to date Federal programs have been able to do comparatively little to provide housing for the disadvantaged." Accordingly, it is most unfortunate that the Commission was unable to recognize the folly of pursuing Gov- McCLORY REPORTS 7 From Washington ernment spending policies as a means of solving the great national problems which the Commission encountered. - It should be apparent that only through massive involvement of the private sector can the problems of our cities be met. Greater emphasis on providing incentives to private employers would seem to be preferable to a shallow promise "to create hew jobs". The experience of the New Deal and the Fair Deal established conclusively ^that Government can do little toward "creating jobs" in the private enterprisess^Stem. In an apparent effort to satisfy* those who prefer an attack by the private sector on the conditions of our cities, the report offers alternatives borrowed from Republican proposals. The Commission recommends, for instance, "on the job training" with reimbursements to private employers "by tax credits". This seems to be identical to the Republican sponsored "Human Investment Act". The Commission also recommends "creation of a Home Ownership Supplement Program.. .to make home ownership possible for low income families." This recommendation is an out-and-out endorsement of "The Home Ownership Foundation Act" sponsored by Senator Percy of Illinois and many other Republicans including this Member of Congress. Indeed, the Commission appears to realize that Government administered programs to not meet the needs of the poor. In this regard, the report shows that Federal housing programs, if continued, will "concentrate the more impoverished and dependent segment of the population into the central-city ghettos where there is already a critical gap between the needs of the population and the public resources to deal with them". The Commission then concedes quite frankly: "Hieprivate sector must be brought into the population and financing of low and moderate rental housing. . ." Unfortunately, the main emphasis of the Commission's report appears to be to establish more Federal agencies and bureaus, appropriate more Federal funds and drive the National Government deeper into debt. Instead of raising our cities from the grave conditions in which they find themselves, adoption of such policies would surely be the quickest way to further aggravate the problems of the Nation.
