Admission to the intra-squad contest is a bar of soap, which will be used by the athletes during the coming year. Coach Bill Day reports that the squad morale is still terrific, and he feels that so far it has been the outstanding feature of the three weeks of preliminary practices. Recently the team has spent a great deal of its time working on offensive formations and timing, with Wahl8 Owen, Krepps, Justes, and Thurwell looking exceptionally good on the practice field. One highlight of the practice session recently was the supplying of watermelons to the players after practice, courtesy of the McHenry student council. The quarterbacks for this weeks final tuneup scrimmage will be Fairchild andKnaack, with fullback duties being shared by Owen, George and Hansen. The tailback position in the Day offensive alignment will be handled by Krepps, Miller, Newbaucr and Decker, ^he flankers will be Jost and Tom Janik, with tlghtend being handled by J. Freund and Nitz. The interior^ line will be manned by Wahl and Benoy over the ball, and Antonicelli , Christy, Thurwell, Justes, Oik, and Widen filling in the guard spots. Tackles will be Borchardt, Seese, Pribyl, Wittrock and Shottler and the pass catching split ends will see Mike Janik, K. Freund, Ingram, Nickles, and Hurckes ([ ft Otto Wins Final Wilmot Race And Championship Roger Otto of Burlington, Wis. took the lead on the 15th lap of the 50 lap Championship Race Sept. 2 and went on to a hard fought win and the 1968 Seasons Championship for the IRA Modified stock cars at the Kenosha county speedway. Otto's big battle was against Bill Bohn of Kenosha who was second from the 18th lap on and as the two cars crossed the finish lines they were side by side with Otto only inches ahead of Bohn. Otto had set fast time tonight and Bohn had the second fastest time and that's the way they finished. It was just the reversal of the finish between these two on the only other 50 lap race run in this season at Wilmot. Bohn was the winner of that race with Otto just as close as Bohn had been here. Whitey Harris of Lake Villa, Illinois,, point leader going into race p blew an engine on the third lap and stood dejectedly in the infield and watched his chance for a fourth straight championship go away as Otto and Bohn raced ahead of the field. Each lap led in both the 50 "lap race and the 30 lap semi was worth $5.00 to the leaders. ^Ken Monroe led for four laps and then Roger lies took over and led until Otto took over on titie 15th lap. At the end behind Bohn and in third place was Tom Anderson, then Roger lies; Ron Bergsma; Eddie Loomis; Ken Monroe; A1 Schill; J.W. Jamerson and Denny McKay. The 50 lap race was run from start to finish without a yellow flag following the 1st restart when Jim Sullivan and Paul Cameron tangled in the fourth turn. Sullivan was not able to continue and was the first car out. Modified heats were won by Harris; McKay; Mike Kukla and Dean Kruze. Lauren Lawrence of Kenosha was the semi-feature race for 30 laps. The championship win for Otto marked his third. He won his first at Wilmot in 1964 and won at Lake Geneva last year. Monday, he won $461 in purse and lap prize money. The races were run on the rain date that had to be scheduled when Saturday night's races were rained out. Again Monday rain fell but the officials kept cars circling the track while showers fell and when the rain did stop the track was readyfor racing.

He also won a heat race. Others were won by Bill Trukesbery. The total attendance for these races set a new attendance record for the year with 3827 fans sitting out the showers to seethe final race. Total purse and lap money paid amounted to $3105. Jack Thomas, Janet Andersen T@nnis Winners Jack Thomas and Janet Andersen, both of McHenry, emerged as winners in the singles events of the Labor Day tennis tourney, first to be held in the city in more than a decade. Encouraged by the enthusiasm of Mrs. Peggy Thurlwell Lawfence, an unexpected number of entries were made on Saturday, when the women's singles and doubles were played. In the singles, Mrs. Andersen defeated tl»e steady Darlene Jones ofWonder Lake in straight sets, 6-4„ 6-2. Mrs. Jones and her partner,, Rosalie Doherty, had previously taken the doubles trophies by defeating Barbara Gilpin and Doris Diedrich. Ten women entered the tournament. " Sunday morning found sixteen men engaged in spirited play for the doubles victory. Jim Lightner and Frank Johnson, both of McHenry, came out the winners over BUI Baker of Crystal Lake and Steve Wilkey of McHenry. It was a hard fought match that saw Jack Thomas capture the men's singles crown on Labor Day morning. After losing the first set 2-6 to Bill Baker, he came back to take the trophy with scores of 6-2 and 6-4. LET S LOOK AT THE ^ g RECORDS * * >' BY LINDA NORRIS " HITTING BACK . . .

Life seems to be a mad whirl these days. Efficiency experts say organize your time. Organize -- smorganize! Those experts take all the time in the world to tell others how to do things. Two old friends have taken from our midst this week, Mrs. Gretta Goodell and Ed Tussey. Numbers Best One reason given for converting the world's telephone dialing systems to numbers is that letters cause trouble in overseas calls. The Danes have no "W" on their dial. Englishspeaking users associate the letter "0" with zero, and the french dial includes "Q". Sweden and New Zealand have no letters at all on their telephone dials. ITEM: Hard water means more than hard work for the homemaker. It also spoils the taste of food and reduces the useful life of plumbed-in appliances. The remedy is an automatic water softener. Most of today's models are compact and reliable. Of course, we have known Mrs. Goodell for many years. It was serving with her on the McHenry Library Board that welded our friendship. Her determination that McHenry have a library was so strong that nothing could deter her from reaching the goal. We had good fun at those meetings. When the Tesch home was acquired and it was decided to remove the porch we made quite an issue of it. Mrs. Goodell good naturedly agreed that we should retain the porch and put two rocking chairs out therefor our relaxation. We held Mrs. Goodell in our highest esteem. She had all the qualities of a fine lady. We loved her. Just knowing her and serving with her is one of the greatest rewards in our life. We know that our former Mayor, George P. Freund, and oth- Sports Editors er library board members join ,us. • A policeman of the old school, Ed Tussey, was taken suddenly this week. His life was police work. But, keeping law and order in his day was far different from modern times. We often discussed the changes. Ed tried to retire but couldn't be happy away from his chosen work and had to return to his duties. So long, Ed. We will miss you. When we think of that big disturbance on the streets of Chicago, the thought of those "children" lingers. Children must grow long beards at an early age these days. It is time to wake up and realize that such groups do not represent the youth of our country. If they did, we would say God Help Us. One of England's top new groups (one-man), after having reached the top 10 in the English charts, has made a musical assault on the U.S. scene via Capitol Records. . . No mistake is intended by referring to Don Partridge as a group -- for he is indeed one of England's and the word's top buskers ... So what's a busker, you ask? That's easy ... A busker is a chap (or group of chaps ) who regularly busk the many various queues throughout England and is generally found in the company of one who is equally experienced in bottling. Now for those who are still in the immigrant status and are unfamiliar with the peculiarities of the true English dialect (as we were until Capitol taught us), Capitol has gone to great lengths in obtaining a true and accurate translation ... A busker is a wandering troubadour, minstrel, singer, etc . . . Bottling is making a strategically timed pass through the queue seeking money for the busker's performance and a queue is a line, group or gathering of people generally waiting for cinema or theatre tickets who enjoy the buskers but try to avoid the bottlers. Don Partridge, known as the King of the Street Singers is a 23-year-old busker from London who has performed in almost every major city on the European continent . . . Although a traveler at heart, his regular beat is London and his act includes many original songs which he plays on the drums, kazoo, banjo, mouth organ, tambourine and similar instruments . . . Since his instruments . . . Since his recording of Rosie he has shot to fame in England and is about to experiment with the record in America ... It sounds like it could be a hit. Few Cars The country in the free world with the fewest automobiles is Mauritania on northwest coast of Africa, according to the 1968 World Motor Census published by Automobile International Magazine. As of January 1, 1968, Mauritania had only 1,650 cars registered. from rnsmrs $csmm DATES AND EVENTS FROM YESTERYEARS The first "equal suffrage" vote was cast by Mrs. Eliza Swain, Laramie, Wyoming, September 6, 1870.

As of yet the defense is not completely set, and much experimenting will be done to find the best combination. Coach Day is quite enthusiastic about the teams hard work and spirit so far, and feels that this scrimmage with officials and game conditions will help him answer some questions for the upcoming opener with DeKalb. One worry Bill Day won't have, and that is the student managers, because they are in the capable hands of Terry Burton and Russ Leight, two top notch guys. Hope to see you at the scrimmage, let's start our support of the Warriors tonight. BOND ISSUE OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES The Natural Resources' velopment Bond referendum, going before the Illinois voters in November, offers the first comprehensive statewide attempt to manage the state's water and land resources and overcome water and air pollution* The one billion dollar proposal will meet the needs of Illinois from now to 1980, and set the basic framework for an ongoing program to cover the next 50 years, explains Gene Graves, chairman of the Natural Resources Development Board, and Director of the Illinois department of Business and Economic Development. Various water and air problems are faced by residents throughout the entire state. In some areas, the increasing population and industrialization are placing terrific burdens on existing water supplies. Other a- .reas suffer from chronic flood damage or lack of sufficient outdoor recreation facilities. Still other communities are unable to finance costly sewage treatment plants, and continue to dump untreated sewage into Illinois streams. In some industrial and urban areas, polluted air is an ever increasing problem. While the problems vary from community to community, they, in fact, affect everyone who lives in Illinois since air and water pollution knows no boundaries, Graves pointed out. The sewage dumped by one town may seriously affect a downstream municipality's' drinking water. The pollution which enters the air in one part of the state may cause a health hazard or damage vegetation miles and miles away from its source. The annual $30 million flood damage in the state puts an economic drain mi all residents. Similarly, the lack of sufficient recreation areas means that valuable tourists dollars are lost to other states. While Illinois has lairge water resources in its streams, lakes and reservoirs, these supplies are not uniformly distributed. Future demands for water are highly correlated with population and economic activity. The population is expected to increase from the present 10.5 million to some 13 million by 19- 80. Industry is anticipated to expand and place increasing demands upon the present water supplies. "People are becoming more aware of the hazards posed by water pollution and desire to improve conditions in Illinois waters beyond standards which were tolerated in the past," Graves said. At the present time, annual capital costs for waste treatment facilities to control pollution is a little over $95 million. This cost is expected to increase to about $207 million by 1980, and continue to go up at a fast rate for the next 50 years. Graves also reported that the traditional concept of soil and water conservation, being largely limited to erosion and runoff control on farms, is outdated by rapid urbanization. "The broad program to conserve and develop this vital resource of our state is a concern of all residents," he said. Illinois' ranks almost last in providing adequate water -related recreation space for its residents. Presently, there are approximately only 5.7 acres of public open space per 1,000 population. At the same time, conservation authorities point out that the state has a great potential for development of an outstanding system of recreational centers connected by linear parkways. Despite the expenditures of i more than $125 million in Fed- ~ eral, state and Ideal funds during the past 30 years, Illinois still suffers greatly from annual flood damages. "to the past few years, more than $100 million for flood control projects has been recommended, but no funds were available to carry out the plans,*.' Graves said. Another fector wldch is of great economic importance to Illinois, is the utilization of its waterways for navigational purposes. The potential is great for. future expansion of the waterway systems - including the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, the Illinois Waterway and the St. Lawrence Seaway - to provide both transportation facilities and recreation areas. Most local communities in Illinois are eager to work toward solving their air and water problems, Graves reported. But, for many of these areas, the lack of funds has kept plans for moving ahead. In many cases the local governments are prohibited by constitutional and statutory debt limitations from issuing general obligation bonds to pay for the needed treatment facilities. In other cases, competing demands for education, hospitals, streets, highways, and other facilities have soaked up all available local funds. Often the local governments feeing this situation can seek help from federal funds, but there is always a gap between the amount of assistance needed and the amount of folds available. Unless this gap is filled by another ^source, such as the state government, the money needed just cannot be raised, Graves continued. "The proposed Natural Resources Development bond issue will provide the state with the fends needed to work across the board and meet the needs of the residents," Graves said. "We can't waste any more time since we are already running far behind in fulfilling the demands placed upon out; resources." « •Y THE OLD TIMER From Dorothy S. Chepell, Dinwiddle, Va.; I remember when the orchard was naturally a part of the farm, regardless of whether the fruit was not particularly worm or bug free. You competed with these natural enemies the best . you could because way back then you did not have DDT or parathipn. Now, with all the modern methods of battling the worms and insects, how many modery farms can boast an orchard or grape arbor? My folks had upwards of thirty apple, peach, pear and lum trees. But my favorite grape haunted it whether the grapes laven was the arbor. I were there or not, but especially around the time of my birthday, August 8, when the first blue grapes were ripening. It was always cool under the canopy of leaves and so many dreams could be dreamed there in the quiet and solitude which is important to all growing children. Oh, yes, I remember my childhood with much happiness, b|it the thing I remember most is that wonderful orchard and grape arbor.
