"D Day" Approaching For IWBA Annual Championship Tourney "D Day" is fast approaching for the over 193,200 members of the Illinois Woman's Bowl­ ing Association: Nov. 21 is the deadline date for reservations for the 41st annualIWBACham- pionship Tournament which will open Jan. 24 in Rockford. Those with reservations must remit fees with the completed entry /orm to the IWBA office. 1917 W. Altorfer drive, Peoria 61614, on or before Nov. 21, or those reservations will be cancelled. IWBA Secretary Helen Mar­ tin reports a heavy influx of mail, so if a specific weekend time is desired, an immediate verification should be made, with the required fees and form to follow quickly. » All entries close Friday, Dec. 5, for teams not making pre­ vious reservations; times will then be assigned on a first- come, first-served basis. The team event is to be held at FairView Lanes, 3620 E. State street, and the doubles and singles events at Don Car­ ter Lanes, 4007 E. State street, Rockford. Rockford is hoping to surpass the 2,000 team mark for the first time, reports IWBA president Mildred White, resident of the hostess city. The record entry of 1950 teams was established last year in Peoria, and the state office reports it looks like an­ other big one. In 1964 when Rockford last held the important event, a new ceiling was reached then of 1,412 teams. Entry forms have been mail­ ed to all city association pres­ idents and secretaries and to bowling establishment si Twelve games of WIBC - sanctioned play as of Friday, Nov. 7, are used for an average. State championships are de­ clared on the high actual scores rolled. All prize money is paid on handicap accumu- lation-70 per cent of the dif­ ference between a player's high average and 200 scratch, the ba­ sis. Defending champions are Brigance Chevrolet of Oak Park, team; Beats Dason and Elaine Schmiegle of Chicago, doubles; Dottle Tyrala of Chi- cage, singles, and Joan Holm of Chicago, all-events. Game Biologists Survey Quail, Pheasant And Rabbit Population Game biologists of the Illinois Department of Conservation be­ lieve that quail populations will be as high this season as they were in 1968, the best quail year since the early 1960s. Southern Illinois, the western part of the state from Hancock County south, especially the rolling country between the Ill­ inois and Mississippi rivers, will provide the best hunting, their reports indicate. Quail, pheasant, Hungarian partridge and rabbit seasons began at noon Saturday, Nov. 15. Birti seasons will end at sun­ set Wednesday, Dec. 31. The closing date of the rabbit sea­ son is Saturday, Jan. 31. Limits are eight quail per day, 16 in possession; two cock pheasants per day, four in pos­ session; two partridge per day, four in possession; five rabbits per day, 10 in possession. On opening day the possession lim­ it is the same as the daily limit for all species. MORE PHEASANTS According to Bill Preno of Normal, biologist in charge of game surveys for the Depart­ ment of Conservation, more pheasants are over most of northeastern and northern Ill­ inois this year than in 1968. The ten best pheasant coun­ ties are Livingston, Logan, Ford, Woodford, Moultrie, Pi­ att, McLean, Champaign, Iro­ quois and DeWitt, in that order. Unusually high concentrations are found in two small areas, between Emden and San Jose in Logan County and in north­ eastern Illinois where Doug­ las, Edgar, Champaign and Ver­ milion counties join. The partridge range extends from the Wisconsin line as far south as Peoria and Bureau counties. Lee County is one of the best for this bird. Few Illinois hunters go afield for partridge. Most of the Huns bagged and killed by pheasant hunters. COTTONTAIL AREAS a The brushy areas of south­ ern and western Illinois are considered the best for rabbit hunting. Population studies in­ dicate that cottontail numbers are slightly lower than last year, except in the northwes­ tern corner and the southern tip of Illinois. John Rebuffoni, the depart­ ment's chief law enforcement officer, said officers assigned to the southern and southeas-i tern areas told him that many of those counties could accom­ modate more hunters. The num­ ber of sportsmen that hunt up­ land game in Hamilton, Saline, Pope, Gallatin, Williamson, Un­ ion, Jackson and Hardin is low, he added. Rebuffoni said there are tracts of the Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois that have good quail and rabbit pop­ ulations but are not hunted to any extent. Information on hunting oppor­ tunities in the forest may be ob­ tained from the Shawnee Na­ tional Forest supervisor in Harrisburg or from district rangers in Jonesboro, Mur- physboro and Vienna. CHILD'S GUIDE TO GARMENTS AND GRATITUDE TUNISIA North African girl clothed in rags vividly portrays the plight of the earth's ill-clad multitudes. But help--in the form of clothes contributed through the American Catho­ lic Thanksgiving Clothing Campaign--is in the offing. INDIA Appealing youth in shred­ ded shirt dramatizes the need for clothing among the w&rld's poor. You can help him and others by contribut­ ing serviceable used clothes duriijfe the month of Novem­ ber at the nearest Catholic church. KOREA Unfortunate boys beckon to America for a better way of life. For them, used and serviceable garments--altered in their own country if nec­ essary -- are always in style. Americans can express thanks for their own well-being by contributing generously. CHILE --Sleeping quarters in fetid slums make uncomfortable accommodations for this Latin American girl whose parents cannot afford better. This year, a successful Thanksgiving Clothing Cam­ paign will help her get up on the right side of a real, clean bed. HONG KONG Ragged young refugees howl in frustration over their pitiful predicament. But re­ lief in the form of better clothing is on the way. The toddlers are among millions of all races and religions throughout the world who benefit from American gen­ erosity. CAMEROONS Beaming exressions of these happy African girls speak for themselves. Grate­ ful for the garments given, the girls typify vast numbers of other youngsters and adults to whom used clothes have been donated. 'SNGfiCGO TRAILER ADDS TO FUN OF SN0WM0BILING I Boaters long ago found out st how valuable a trailer can F Now snowmobilers are joining (lie trailer bandwagon and dis­ covering how many more snow­ mobile areas are within easy leach. I Here are a few tips from one of the local news bureaus {hat will help the average snow- •nobiler enjoy new snow areas. 1 First, make sure the trailer foesn't outweigh the car. Usually there is no problem here. But watch out if you're trying to haul ft large four-sled rig with your ^ompact car. t A car with an automatic trans­ mission, according to the experts, | better for snowmobile trailer- The automatic transmission provides smoother shifting and ^asier grade negotiation. * . A load-leveling hitch, al­ though not always necessary, is a big help because it distributes the hitch load so that the tow car's front wheels and the trail­ er's wheels are sharing the burden. y Ten per cent of the trailer height should be on the trailer tjbngue; Too much weight too mr back causes the trailer to sway ' and results in excessive tire wear. If the weight is too Car forward, the car will "bot­ tom out" on the smallest of bumps. < There are also a few changes you®'have to make in your driv­ ing ^technique. Swing wide on cori$rs4n order to clear curbs. Oiv#yourself extra braking room. Use an outside rear-view mirror. 9 Backing up presents its diffi­ culties too. To make the trailer go right, first turn left, then after the trailer has started its turn, quickly reverse the direc­ tion of the car. The opposite will hold true for backing up to the left. A lot of practice is in order/ here. There are several manufactur­ ers now producing snowmobile trailers and single bed trailers are priced around $150. If you already own a boat trailer with the tilt-bed feature, you may be able to convert it to snowmobile use. Remove the rollers and cradle pads and bolt on a 4-by-8- foot sheet of three-quarter inch plywood for a platform. Use eye- bolts to anchor the machine in front and back with strong manila line or chains for tie- downs. CLOTHING DRIVE CREATES NEW SOCIAL FABRIC America, the bountiful, often seems far removed from the suffering and turmoil af­ flicting millions of impover­ ished people around the world. Yet, as Thanksgiving approaches, citizens of this fortunate ..country* have a unique opportunity to express thanks for their own well- being. By providing the world's "have nots" with clothing, shoes and bedding, the Amer­ ican Catholic Thanksgiving Clothing Campaign is assist­ ing approximately 40 million men, women and children of all races and religions in more than 70 countries. The devas­ tation in Vietnam, the pitiful plight of the refugees of the Nigeria/Biafra civil war and the misery of the many vic­ tims of Middle East conflict are just a few examples of the mmm TtMB M TUESDAY THIRTY-NINERS NOVEMBER 4 Bonnie Amore 454; Bitsy Schaefer 454; Fran Weyland 452; Jan Pieroni 476; Mary Beth Fuchs 220-203-594; DotFreund 482; CathySchlitt208-489;Nan- ci McAuliffe 441; Cammy Gay- lord 202-528; Nancy Rad 156.

CHARITY ALSO ENDS AT HOME Space, face, pace, grace -- these are but four of the ways in which a homemaker bene­ fits when she contributes sur­ plus clothing to the world's threadbare. Crowded closets become roomier -- while cluttered at­ tics and basements become safer--when you add space by The world's most productive gardens are in the water, mostly composed of plankton, and is invisible to the eye. reducing the inventory of un­ used and unnecessary gar­ ments around the house. Doing the right things in this way gains you not only space, but also face, for chil­ dren and neighbors tend to think even more highly of someone whose ideals are lofty enough to be concerned about the needy. Pace--the rate at which we get things done and seen and enjoyed -- becomes a little faster when we learn to stop being string-savers, and an annual good riddance party can provide an encouraging stimulus to our feeling of get­ ting things done. WED., NOV. 19, 1969 - PLAINDEALER - PG. 7 RAGS TO STICHES The Do-It-Yourself idea applies to destitute people fighting for survival as well as the relatively wealthy Americans seeking the satis­ faction of personal achieve­ ment. And, when it comes to clothing, this concept is tailor-made for those of all races and religions battling indigence around the world. The problems of poverty are far from sewed up. Amer­ icans, by contributing cloth­ ing to citizens of less fortu­ nate lands, are providing ma­ terial ways of helping others to help themselves. Donated through the.Amer- And few acts are more graceful than the donation of sorely needed clothes to the world's less fortunate. A highly effective way of speed­ ing clothing, shoes and bed­ ding to them is through the annual Thanksgiving Cloth­ ing Campaign, which aids the impoverished of all races and religions. Bring your bundles to the nearest Catholic church during November. These are only a few of the ways in which charity helps the giver as well as the re­ ceiver. So search through last year's fashions for serviceable goods that can ease the lot of millions of ill-clothed people to whom wearing apparel is never out of style. You may be more "gifted" as a gift- giver than you think! ican Catholic Thanksgiving Clothing Campaign, dresses, suits and other garments form the fabric of sewing and tailor­ ing classes in many of the 70 countries the campaign bene­ fits. Altering and remodeling American-cut clothes to fit local sizes, vocational trainees learn the basics of their future trades. And clothing, given through your local Catholic church in November, stimu­ lates self-help all year long, as it has in Latin America, where garments are given as prizes for attendance and scholarship in adult educa­ tion classes. The poverty-stricken of the world still need your help, however. You can help pro­ vide the wherewithal by ap­ pearing with apparel at your local Catholic church during November. Last year, 4,189,420 pounds of drugs, medicines and hos­ pital supplies valued at $11,- 765,339 were shipped through Catholic Relief Services to the needy in 62 nations. poverty pervading much of this planet. Long-term refugees from old conflicts and victims of national catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, drought or hurricanes that rob them of their few possessions are among the suffering multi­ tudes. Most, however, are prey to the continuing gap be­ tween the earth's one billion "haves" and two billion "have nots" seemingly destined to die in rags. The campaign is helping to quell their dire needs by sharing the abundance of America. During November, we are urged to bring service­ able used clothes to the near­ est Catholic church. Contri­ butions will be distributed to the overseas poor of all races and religions throughout the year through the global faci­ lities of Catholic Relief Ser­ vices. Such items, often restyled and tailored in sewing co­ operatives in the receiving countries, can mean a new trade and job opportunity for a man in Latin America . . . or a chance for an Asian child to go to school proudly ... or new self-esteem and hope for millions everywhere. You needn't give the shirt off your back. But we suggest that all Americans -- espe­ cially the fashion-conscious who frequently change their clothing styles -- give gener­ ously to the 21st annual Thanksgiving Clothing ram, paign. Transcending national boundaries, the spirit of Thanksgiving can help fash­ ion a new and better social fabric for the world's desti­ tute. NUMBER BUT STILL TRYING HARDER A financial institution has only one product to sell, SERVICE. A Full Service Bank, a department store of finance, such as the McHENRY STATE BANK, has more varied services to of­ fer than other type financial institutions. They must be cons­ tantly alert for new methods to improve each and every one of these services. Because they are constantly aware of the necessity of im­ proving these services, THE McHENRY STATE BANK remains the largest financial institution in not only McHenry County but the entire upper Fox River Valley, from the North Shore to Rockford.
