Harris said after the win, ••the offer to sell still goes. Pm going to build an even faster and better handling car!" Harris has had astringofbad breaks but everything was his way in the feature race tonight as he caught, raced with and passed Roger Otto of Burlington who had won the last two Kenosha County Speedway Feature races. The attendance for the Fair at the stock car races topped an all time Fair night record and was a new high for the season at Wilmot. A record number of cars were also on hand as 93 of the speed machines took part in the 12 events. Harris missed fast time by just three one hundredths of a second. Roger Otto turned in a time of 17*41 and Harris turned in 17.43. Otto's average speed for the qualifying run was 60.31 MPH. A five car pile up on the first lap of the feature race brought out the red flag and Jr. Dodd was not able to get back in the line up by the time the green flag w^nt out.

Hunters are reminded that the state is on daylight time until Oct. 27. The starting hour until then is 1 p.m., daylight time. Doves must be hunted during the afternoon throughout the season. The daily limit is 12 and the possession limit is 24, except on opening day when hunters may not have more than 12 doves in possession. Populations and hunting prospects are good, according to game technicians. But as every Northern Illinois dove hunter knows, a few cool nights in late August will upset the best laid plans because the bulk of the northern dove population will go south. Frequently, doves will stay in Southern Illinois until early winter and sometimes a few flocks will winter there. The dove is considered one of the most difficult birds to hit on the wing. It is the most popular game bird in the United States and more shotgun shells are fired at it than at any other game bird. In Illinois about one out of five hunting license buyers hunt doves. Sportsmen look for migrating flocks around small farm ponds, in clipped wheat stubble, in silage fields and in harvested crop fields where large amounts of smartweed, foxtail, Indian hemp and other weed seeds are scattered by combines. We used to think we knew what was going to appear on this sport page. Imagine our surprise when we picked up the Friday issue and found they had slipped in that picture of ••Go-Go Cubs!" in our office window. The interesting part about it is that nobody knows a thing about how it could have happened. Everybody is innocent -- the most cheerful bunch of fibbers you ever heard. « Our long time friend, John 2 R.

Flower Street, «gSC McHenry, has been appointed a certified rifle instructor, by the National Rifle Association of America. The new instructor was appointed on the basis of experience and the successful completion of an extensive examina- J tion.

Mr. Koch joins the ranks of selected volunteer instructors throughout the country who donate many hours in the NRA small arms education program. The program has been in operation since 1876; since that time many millions of people have been taught to handle and enjoy firearms safely and effectively. I HEAR Sports Editor Our friend Dick Lemker was in to see us (Hie day last week. We went to Woodstock two days later and Sheriff John Carrol told us that our former Chief of Police had died that morning. The Chief was a police-^ man of the old school and ne-~ ver quite got used to the way culprits have to -be pampered today. He told us one time of frying to help a 12 year old boy who responded by telling him his rights. We can well remember when smart alecks in McHenry got a slap across the mouth for back talk -- and they grew up to be better men for it. Dick Lemker gained respect and made many friends in the community in his comparatively short time here. We will miss his visits. Just for old time sakes Bill and Lila Burfeindt invited S. I. H. and wife out to lunch at the Woodstock Country club last week. 'Twas real pleasant. We then took a tour of the Sentinel plant to see all the new modern equipment. If s a cry from the days when we started with the Moshers and the Renichs. The smell of the printers ink is gone and those old timers wouldn't like it. Harry Anderson, now of Springfield, Mass., his wife and daughter, and sister Anna came in to see us Monday. Of course, we had to talk about McHenry in the days of the Broadway Barbecue which the Anderson family operated. It later changed to "R" place. Basketball fans will never forget the Anderson boys. They were great. Harry was the thin man and used to stand out in the middle of the floor and sing long shots that seemed' impossible. It kept the defense loose. Fred Meyer came in while the conflab was going on and reviewed the days when0 the Andersons used to shoot baskets all year around. Of course, Fred is MUCH older! Harry chose a girl from Spain for his wife. She's a fine girl-- and she can cook! Harry has a waist line to prove it. Bob Freund( Junior's son, not Beef) was on the mound for the Shamrocks Sunday and struck out 17 Elgin batters for a club record. Elgin got a walk and a triple in the first inning for their lone run.

Aug. 5 -- Of the forty million boaters getting underway this season, too many of them -- because of their own thoughtlessness -- will never return. The reason? Many will forget to carry lifesaving devices on board. Others, will forget where they stowed them or when to use them. Several examples illustrate what can be the tragic results of what appears to be a small oversight. Earlier this year a 14-foot "pram" capsized in Maine's Saco River. Although the weather posed no threat, only one of the two people aboard survived. Neither used a lifesaving device, even though they were carried on board. Three persons were thrown into Lake Ponchartrain, Louisiana, when their 14 foot boat overturned. Only one occupant was rescued, and he was clinging to a floating outboard fuel tank. Lifesaving devices were not even carried on board. A June sailboat regatta off Cleveland came to an abrupt halt when a freak wind storm cap-" sized and swamped most of the boats. Amazingly, no one was seriously injured, and all 22 of the water-logged boatmen were rescued. Nearly all were wearing Coast-Guard-approved lifesaving devices. The Coast Guard reminds boatmen that carrying the devices in a hard-to-reach area of the boat does not provide sufficient protection. Accidents can happen anytime, and afterward may be too late to go looking for something to keep you afloat. Also, if something happens to your boat, stay with it. Most boats will float when overturned or swamped. By remaining with the boat, you will be easier to find by rescuers. The Coast Guard also advises that all non-swimmers and children should wear approved lifesaving devices at all times when boating. And when weather conditions worsen or danger is imminent, everyone aboard should be wearing his life preserver. sheared off bugger son was back in actii and was up to tenth wi xel broke sending hii fourth turn guard rail Ron Bergsma starte the lead and then was by Bob Ratajczyk on the\ ixth lap.

Seyl was in the back at the start due to his fast time qualifying run and on the second lap. spun into the infield and lost nearly a lap on the leader. He overcame this entire lap and was in the lead with only four laps to go when he spun again and dropped back to sixth and came back to finish second just three laps latter. Third was Ralph Sinnen,who couldn't withstand the final lap surge stagged by Seyl. Heat race winners in the late models were Bill Launderville; Bob Fink; James Green; Seyl and Dave Zilmer. Roll overs were performed by Jerry Schween, Tom Teske, Art Bielkie and Bob Weideman doing a dive ov6r the inside fourth turn rail. The closet finish of the night was in the 15 lap semi-feature race. Twenty-one cars started this race. Deacon Hennley led this race for seven laps and Ken . Monroe took over the lead and stayed there. But Bob Deidrich, got up to second spot and as the cars came off the fourth turn for the finish, each went to a separate side of a slower car and crossed the finish line nearly together. The win for Monroe was as popular as any all evening long. A1 Horton was third then Paul Cameron and Hennley. Modified stock car heat races were won Dick Bentley, Monroe, Paul Cameron and Harris.

This heat race and the feature race win g%ve him breathing room in the tight • chase for the Championship at Wilmot Going into tonighf s race he was only 18 points ahead of Otto and 20 points ahead of Bohn.

After changing to a site this year, he has been shooting his arrows consistently closer to the center. His 380 hunters round score took first place for men. Steve no doubt will be changing to his hunting bow for the rest of the season to be sure his eye is sharp and equipment ready for the hunting season. Steve's game trophies include deer and a bear with the bow. Due to weekend work, Cal Houser has not been able lib participate in many shoots but his bow site is still set on target; his 412 score gave him a second place. C.F. Heffernan (Mick) won third place with a 274. When shooting class, Mick won the Safari shoot in his class C. After losing a sudden death off to Rex at the Safari, Orv Gosse, Jr., took first place at the club shoot, RexSommer second and Jeff Raven third. Handicap women winners were Shirley Heffernan first, Jean Bird second and Rose Eady third. Thursday, August 15that8:15 p.m. Northern Illinois Bowmen meeting will be held at McHenry Legion. All interested sportsmen were invited to attend. The head and some members of the Viscount Drum and Bugle corps will attend to accept a donation from the Northern Illini Bowmen. IREMIMBIR", •Y THE OLD TIMER From Mro. H. H. Stokesbury, Oklahoma City, Okla.: I remember when homesteaders on the Cherokee Strip of Oklahoma gave up after a few years, sold their land and moved out In covered wagons. Owners of covered wagons were always welcome to spend the night withhomesteackers who stayed with ther land. Late afternoons, I climbed the rafters of the barn to the cupola and gazed southward, searching tne road for a covered wagon. If I spotted one, I left the barn shouting, "There's a covered wagon coming!" We children hoped and prayed the wagon would stop at our house and not go further down the road. It was different with mama! She had to fbt a meal for the covered wagon people if they stopped at our homestead. The Indians who camped by our homestead each "green corn" time, when they were traveling to green corn dances, returned each year. My best Indian friend was John Catch the Howling Wolf, named for my father. But we would never again see the people of the covered wagons and this fact rendered these people as something very special. 1 was very young, not more than six years at the time and the covered wagon exodus must h a v e occured around 1908.
