Coach Day had some husky, rugged men in the line last year. But, graduation took its toll. It looks like the '68 line will be out-sized, unless strong reserves can be developed. The wear and tear may be too much against the heavier lines. Ray Guzzardo, Merv Schmitt and Loren Thomas are some of the pint-size guards we well remember of years gone by. Nobody pushed those fellows around. But, high school teams are much heavier since vitamins came along. We can look over the team on Friday night in the "Soap Bowl". It should be fun. When the McHenry area was considered a farming and summer resort spot some years baqk, they used to say we rolled up the sidewalks right after Labor Day. We don't roll 'em up these days in spite of a certain change when summer is just a memory. 1 i"torJ^J Oh, Pm sure the family's closer On that first cool night in fall When the flames are dancing gayly . Spelling years of love to all. While families are close, we would never exclude some true friends who have meant so much in our life. Our first editor, "Mose", had no use for poetry so we used to slip one of our efforts in S.I.H. from time to time to get his reaction. It took his mind off the Democrats. He didn't like them either. We lost a big shade^tree in our front yard last week when the Dutch Elm bug took over. Seemed like a big loss at first until reason prevailed. We are all well, thank you. Went out to look over some trees to replace our lost one. It was again established that yours truly doesn't know one tree from another unless apples are hanging on the limbs. Good thing the little woman knows or we might wind up with something rare in the front yard. Shepherd of The Hills Softball Team Wins County League Title Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church Softball team won the county league title with 12 wins and 2 losses. Last Sunday they captured second place in the league tourney. Presentation of the league trophy was made by Edward Guettler. teams participating were, Marengo, Zion, McHenry,C rystal Lake, Harvard, St. John's, Woodstock, Grace, Woodstock, and Algonquin. Team members include; Art Beck, Glen Anerson, Larry Mc- Clure, Bill Blankenhorn, Don Williams, Gunnar Nelson, Broc Olson, Alan Olson, Dick Wilhelm, Pastor Johnson, Carl Bergstrom, Bert Hagemann, John. Huff, Alan Olsen and Jim Boyer. Seems we tried our hand at poetry way back when and wrote a so called poem about the end of summer. A lady has asked us to reprint that poem, but memory fails us. If we can find it in old flies, we may give it space right here. H|re it is dear lady. You asked for it: When you're sitting around together just the family round the hearth. On the first cool night in Autumn After summer days of mirth It sort of gets you thinkin' Of the worthwhile folks you meet And you get a closer feeling Toward your own dear ones and sweet. Whether conversation's lagging Or the room is full of talk Somehow you feel they're with you Through all of life's long walk Other folks are fascinating When the party's gay and loud But, somehow they're never near you When there's a darkness and a cloud.

Northern llini Bowmen News Many bowhunters have begun their annual preseason scouting of the Wisconsin deer area, Ne cedah, C rivets, Black River Falls and the many other areas that have good deer concentrations and public hunting grounds. Deer beds, scat and especially the large deer tracks in the sand raise the bowhunter*s blood pressure in anticipation of possibly outwitting the big buck in his home habitat. Whitetail deer are very habitual and usually live their entire existence within a mile square area that is their back yard. They know each path, hill and ravine for quick safety. They know each area of tender grasses, sweetest choicest acorns, corn fields, the best brouse for their morning and evening feedings. They know each high grassy hillside for comfort in bedding down with the wind to their backs scenting any intruder and facing the valley below for any possible sign of danger. Into this back yard, the bowhunter must try to outwit the wiley whitetail and get to within 35 yards or preferably less. The deer is the professional, depending for survival on his keen senses of smell, hearing, and eyesight. The bowhunter is the amateur - for a few hours he will try to outwit the whitetail in his own back yard. Many bowhunters spend hundreds of hours in the woods enjoying not only the hunt but other creatures of nature. Birds and small animals accept him as part of their environment after only a period of 5 minutes of complete quiet on the part of the hunter. Then he is no longer an intruder in the wildlife world. Good shooting (ractice is an essential for the bowhunter. On Sunday, Sept. 15th, Northern IIlini Bowmen invite all bowhunters to their Broadhead shoot at their range on Draper Road, a mile west of McHenry. Also to enhance the enthusiasm of the bowhunter, Illinois and Wisconsin Conservation Department representatives will speak at the Northern Illini Bowmen's Sept. 19th meeting, 8 p.m. at McHenry Legion. All interested sportsmen are invited. HALF-PINT . . .

Teachers need more time to plan and prepare with new media and methods, such as instructional TV and team teaching. ILLINOIS EDUCATION ASSOCIATION Illinois may well claim the title of nuclear capitol of the world. The newly initiated Western laboratory, combined with the Dresden Nuclear Power station near Morris and the great number of electric power plants throughout the state, pushes Illinois toward the top as a V su-: per charged" area. The benefits generated from these "power • houses" are felt throughout the state and in a multitude of ways. "One of the major reasons that Illinois was chosen as the location for the Accelerator laboratory was the availability of water resources," explains Gene Graves, chairman of the Natural Resources Development board, and Director of the Illinois Department of Business •and Economic Development. "Tjie natural supply of water found" in Illinois is an especially important factor to the growth of industry in the state," Graves pointed out. "Yet, at the same time that we use water resources to build up the economy and general progress of the state, we must be aware of our responsibilities to preserve this mighty natural resource which we have around us." Taking a look at what such facilities as the Accelerator laboratory means to Illinois, Graves reported that the impact will be felt on various levels of economy and education. Some 2,000 top scientists will staff the laboratory, with supporting personnel of at least a thousand more persons such as engineers, chemists and technicians. These 3,000 plus persons, along with their families will enhance the overall economy of Illinois. In addition to the economy, Illinois industry will benefit from the presence of the labor- Tips from a Pro Wray Mundy NATIONAL TRUCK DRIVER OF THE YEAR L0A/6r£-J?

It is also anticipated that new scientifically- oriented industries will locate in the general vicinity of the accelerator,, which will be the .world's largest and most costly scientific instrument. THe new laboratory will be a pioneering facility in the area of high energy physics. When the laboratory is complete, it will house the world's largest atom smasher which will enable the researchers to delve into such questions as the expansion of the universe, gravity and the origin of matter. Their answers may create new sciences, revoluntionize old ones, and perhaps even revolutionize the lives of everyone, Graves reported. Graves emphasized that the purpose of the Accelerator Laboratory will be to search for peaceful uses of nuclear energy. "It will not be an arsenal, but a research center designed to advance mechanical and biological research, diagnosis and therapy, space travel studies and discovery of new economic tools," he said. . " While we are looking forward to reaping many benefits from the Laboratory, we are not overlooking the problems which could easily be caused by such a plant," he explained. Throughout all of the planning for the Laboratory, extreme caution has been observed to meet safe standards and avoid depletion or contamination of the natural water resources of the area. This means that hot water will not be dumped into area waterways which might kill off the fish; nor will contaminated refuge be allowed to pollute nearby streams. By using wells on the site, enough water will be available for the domestic use of the personnel and their families. The Fox River, the<>major source of water for operator of the Laboratory, will be tapped only when it is high and will not be bothered during the drier summer season when top priority will be given>to the recreational value of the river. At the laboratory site, there will be ponds built to store the raw water from the Fox river, to catch rain and to serve as water cooler depositories. This water will be used and reused until it becomes undesirable. Then, it will be treated to meet pure-water standards and released back into adjoining streams. "The Weston project is a good example of how we can utilize our water resources in Illinois without destroying them," Graves said. "With more and more demands being placed upon our water supply, we must make an even greater effortto protect the resources."
