"Thank God For America* "Grassers" Coming AT Union Grove The United Drag Racers Association "gas coupe and sedan circuit" will be featured in Saturday nights races at the Great Lakes Dragaway, Union Grove, Wisconsin. Gas coupes and sedans, commonly known as "gassers" are highly modified stock cars. Late model full race engines are used in light weight cars such as Anglias and Austins, etc. Also many older model cars are used such as 1932 Ford coupes. The engine is located more towards the center of the car in most cases rather than In the front. This transfers the weight towards the rear and giving much greater traction for faster take-off. These cars use gasoline rather than nitro and speeds average around the 140 mph mark. Saturday's races start at 8:30 p.m. Sunday's program, will consist of the usual stock car, modified stock and motorcycle events getting under way at 2:00 p.m.. The Great Lakes Dragaway is located 20 miles south Milwaukee on highway 45 at Union Grove, Wisconsin. by Mrs.^M.G. Ringer of Pell Lake, Wisconsin, should be required reading for every man, woman and child in this good old UJS.A. The Tribune printed a copy of a treasured letter from Nicholas Frett to relatives in Germany, telling of his love for the freedoms found in this country. Of course, times have changed a bit since they bought land for $2.50 per acre in the 18- 40's and the ordinary man hadn't heard of taxes. Those things have changed, but this is still the best country in the world. If you still have last Sunday's Chicago Tribune in your pile of papers, please dig out the editorial page and read 'Thank God for America'.

Mary also wrote: "I felt pretty bad to read on the sports page that another old time great from Notre Dame passed on. I can remember thrilling ( over listening to the radio) at the name of Moon Mullins." Yep, Moon Mullins was a credit to his school. Those who knew him told us so long ago. We hope Moon runs into the great Knute Rockne and "The Gipper" up there. At practice one day, Moon Mullins' fine fullback, Don ttoodyt, messed up a couple of plays and Mullins really began to give him the works. Finally Don spoke up, "Listen, Coach, I know you don't think I'm smart, but after I hit 'em a couple of times, they- 11 be just as dumb as I am". PICKUPS Wisdom comes with age. Too late sometimes to do any good. Busy souls have no time to be busy-bodies. Few of us get dizzy from doing too many good turns. Those school bells will soon be ringing again and people will be saying,, "Where in the world did the summer go?" As far as we are concerned we know where some of those real hot days could go if they hadn't already been there.

Wayne Miller, Rifles' place kicker foiled to make the extra point. A few moments later, Gary Ruder of West Allis ran 57 yads. for a TD on a pitch-out from quarterback Jim Gerke. Art Sota made the extra point which put West Allis ahead 7-6. With 2:50 left in the quarter, the Rifles' second quarterback of the game, Lew Flinn, passed 14 yds. to Eddie Schultis, Rifle flanker-back, for the second Rifle TD. With the score 12-7 Rifles, the West Allis club did not waste any time in the third quarter. After making five first downs, Gary Ruder, West Allis' fine runner, caught a Gerke pass and ran 28 yds. and a TD making the score 14- 12 West Allis after A1 Sota's good extra -point kick. RIFLES RO AR BACK The Rifles roared back, however, in the fourth quarter. Little Eddie Schultis caught a Flinn pass and scored on a 20 yd. run on the first play. The last Rifle score came on a short 3 yd. run by Ron Curry, Rifle half back. The Rifle offensive line, which had been a question mark performed well against West Allis, whose defense last year was the best in the CSFL. "I thought our pass protection and blocking were good", commented Cichowski. He went onto say "This first victory meant a lot to the team psychologically. We'll be ready for the Rockford game next week". Both Bill Bodle and Ron Curry, the Rifle running backs, performed well,, Bodle averaged five yds. per carry. Curry, one of the hardest and elusive runners in the league averaged 5.8 per carry. The Rifles displayed a balanced offense which should improve barring injuries., SHARE QUARTERBACKING Tommy Mayers and Lew Flinn shared the quarterback duties for the game about equally. They completed 12 passes in 28 attempts for a total of 115 yards. Flinn in particular was passing effectively to three outstanding receivers in Angela Dabiero, Eddie Schultis, and Warren Nicholas. Tom Meyers, All American from Northwestern University remarked,"Believe it or not, I was nervous. Those West Allis rushers hit as hard as anybody, but after we got rolling my arm felt good." On Saturday, August 17, the Rifles play at Rockford against the new entry in the C.S.F.L. The Rockford club is anxious to make a good impression in their second game against a C.S.F.L. team and have made it known that they will be ready for the Rifles* The Rockford Rams defeated powerful Manitowac 33-24 in Saturday nighfs tilt. The Rifles' first league game will be at Sheboygan on August 23. Season tickets are still available by writing or calling the Rifle office at 1801 West Washington, Waukegan, Illinois.

KNOWLEDGE NOOK: Our question (unanswered) in the last issue of "Divot Dolls" dealt with the following -- If you were to possess superiority in these three factors which would you pick (1) Driving Power, (2) Putting accuracy (3) Confidence. The Pros all say they'd like more than anything else in the world to be great putters. So we have to answer the question with (2) Putting Accuracy. A new golf tip - taken from Nieporte's Mind Over Golf, is that we have to face the fact that we do lose our tempers. The first thing you must resolve is to allow the emotion created by a bad shot to subside. The experts tell us not to address tto ball for the next shot until your nerves have settled. i QUINCY, ILLINOIS - James F.

In 1964, during the first refuge hunt, 61 deer were taken. In a nine-day hunt last year, 154 deer were harvested. Bow hunters will need a special refuge permit to participate in the hunt. Eight hundred free permits will be issued for each four-day season. Because of th6 limited number of permits and the great interest in the hunt, a drawing will be made to select permittees. A permit application and instruction sheet for the refuge hunt will be included in every 1968 Illinois Bow Hunting license. Archers interested in participating in the refuge hunt are urged to purchase their 1968 bow license from the Illinois Department of Conservation as soon as possible. The application must be completed according to instructions and mailed to: Mark Twain National Wildlife Refuge, Box 225, Quincy, Illinois6 62301 Permit applications must be in the refuge office by September 15 to be included in the drawing. The refuge division is located 10 miles north of Quincy, Illinois and is comprised of several islands in the Mississippi River and contains about 4,800 acres. Hunters getting permits will be allowed to inspect the refuge area the day prior to the season for which they hold a permit. ' Mr. Gillett reminded hunters that all access to the refuge is by private boat and the State of Illinois boating regulations will apply and be enforced. In addition to state laws governing the taking of deer with bow and arrow the following regulations will apply to the refuge: Hunting will be allowed from one-half hour before sunrise to 4 p.m. daily. All deer taken must be checked through the check station on the east side of Long Island. No boats will be allowed in GOVERNOR SIGNS BILL Five bills passed by the continuing session of the General Assembly were signed into law last week by Gov. Samuel H. Shapiro. Of prime importance was the bi-partisan support of S.B. 2114 which authorized the temporary borrowing of $60 million in idle motor fuel tax funds for gendral state pur- i poses. The funds are to be repaid to the road fund by June of 1970. In other action Gov. Shapiro signed bills that provide for election of a fourth circuit judge in certain circuits. Two companion bills make changes to the proposed $1 billion bond issue on air and water pollution control. The major change was to raise the interest rates on bonds which will be authorized by passage of the referendum. Gov* Shapiro also signed a bill calling for another referendum that would authorize Illinois banks to establish branches in foreign countries. France has initiated a program that will equip more than five million school children in the country with highly reflective dangle tags" to make them more visible to motorists when out walking after dark.

And many columns are written by people who employ pen names. That was true of "Dorothy Dix" as well as the clever Jewish twin sisters who write the "Ann Landers" and "Dear Abby" columns. But medical writers usually employ their own By - George W. Crane, Ph. D.,M.D. CASE G-551: Peggy W., Lives in Gary, Indiana. Recently she telephoned me long distance to invite me to an anticancer banquet honoring America's foremost physiologist, Dr. A.C. Ivy. "Dr. Crane, *' she said laughingly, "whenthe long distance operator heard me ask for you, she said: 'Is that the same Dr. Crane who writes for our Gary POST TRIBUNE?' "And when I answered her, she told me she had never believed you were a real person. "Instead, she said she thought the name 'Dr. Crane' was just a pen name, like 'Ann Landers' or 'Dear Abby*. "Do other people ever indicate that they also think you are not a real doctor?" NOM DE PLUMES . Yes, I have often had readers exclaim that they thought the name "Dr. Crane" was just a nom de plume or pen name. And they have some justification for such beliefs, since many writers of novels as well as of newspaper columns, do use such pen names. "Dorothy Dix" pioneered the "advice" column under that pen name and did a magnificent job of humanizing newspapers. After her death, her column was still continued under that Well known "Dorothy Dix" heading, but with ghost writers produicc ing the daily/output of We* In Ann Landers and Abigail Van Buren, we have a pair of unusually clever Jewish girls who have now imitated Dorothy Dix. "Ann" and "Dear Abby" are also twin sisters but highly competitive columnists. Probably most of the female "advice" writers use pen names. But the medical columnists employ their own names, partly because In medical and psychiatric writing, the usuaj person prefers some scientific authority to back up the statements he reads. In case any other readers imagine' me to be a ghost writer, let me remind you that I was born in Chicago and have lived ifciir ever since my marriage. , I have taught the Dixon Bible class for 35 consecutive years at the Chicago TEMPLE. When I mention our children or grandchildren herein, I do so because many of you readers have youngsters of the same means 6r same ages and thus feel reassured to see that child problems are universal. At least 2 days per week I drive down to Indiana to the Home of Office of the newspaper syndicate that distributes this column throughout Canada and the U.S.A. For the letter input runs 1,000 letters daily, but.I don't need to dictate personal replies to more than 3 percent, for the rest ask for the medico-psycholigical booklets offered herewith. However, those 3 percent total at least 150 letters per week that take my time for individual writing. And I personally type all of these Case Records, using 2 fingers on each hand! Would that I had learned the j "touch system" in high school! My wife lived in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, when I met her, so I have a double affection for the Hoosier State. That's why we have a summer home there and 3 of our sons got doctoral degrees from Indiana university. "Back Home Again In Indiana' is thus one of my favorite songs. (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped, addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.) ! the I B rivers Seat % Tips from a Pro Gas, oil and maintenance accounts for the largest portion of the money the average driver spends to operate his car, according to a study made recently by the Federal Highway Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation. Including depreciation, the average cost of driving a car 100,000 miles over a 10-year period (don't you wish your car would last that long?) totals slightly more than $11,- 000 -- about 11 cents permile. Of this 11 cents, gas and oil cost 1.7 cents and maintenance, accessories, parts and tires cost 2.1 cents, for a total of 3.8 cents a mile (35 percent of the operating cost). Figured on a new car costing $2,800, depreciation ranked second as an operating cost factor: 2.8 cents per mile, or 25 percent. The study assumed that, although few motorists drive the same car for 10 years, the average auto, sold or traded three or more times, is on the road that long. The cost per mile of depreciation is higher in the earlier years of ownership, but rising maintenance costs in later years tend to offset this. The balance of operating costs per mile were 1.8 cents for garage, parking and toll fees ( 16 percent), 1.4 cents for insurance (13 percent) and 1.2 cents for state and federal taxes (11 percent). In most states, automotive taxes are used entirely for highways. About 61 percent of the total comes from gasoline taxes D with the rest made up of registration fees, tire taxes, new car excise taxes and oth- Wray Mundy NATIONAL TRUCK DRIVER OF THE YEAR Sky!' the interior waters of Long era Island.

The study noted that the cost figures would vary slightly in different regions of the country. Bad driving habits, tirescreeching stops and starts, and accidents also hike the cost of gasoline, repairs and maintenance, the study concluded, and eventually affect insurance rates. / Mile East of McHenry on Rte. 120 STARTS FRIDAY- 2 BIG HITS DEMO MARTIN MITCHUM 5 Card Stri' ROBERTSHAW on Bald Knob Road Presents Its WATERS SKI SHOW on Pistakeo Lake lay August 18 at 2 p.m 26 CiCAHTif.
