High School Faculty Play Senior Cagers Friday Night PG. 6- PLAINDEALER-WED. APRIL 8,1970 The public is invited to come to West campus this Friday, Ap­ ril 10, to witness a basketball game between the high school faculty and the seniors on this year's varsity basketball team. There will be a small charge for admission and profits will go to a worthy cause. The sen­ iors, after such a successful season, are out for another vic­ tory. But the teachers are in good shape and are eager to rise to the challenge. Call it another battle of the generations if you will. In any event the results should be in­ teresting. Game time: 7:30 p.m. EARL WALSH So I Hear I, SPORTS EDITORJ It pains us to have to men­ tion those Cub fans since their great team beat our White Sox three straight in what is termed the "Spring City Series". They think they are so great in scoring ten runs against our team. The Blackhawks scored that many goals against Montreal to win the hockey No. 1 spot. Many Sportsmen Validate Turkey Hunting Permits Now there are certain fel­ lows who want us to go to Mil­ waukee with them to see the "Sox" play. We may take them up there -- and arrange for them to stay there all summer (Birt, maybe we would be lonesome). So far, 947 sportsmen have pafothe $5 fee required to val- i Ate their turkey hunting per­ mits, a spokesman of the 111- •GOLDEN AGE BOWLING LEAGUE NEWS After several weeks of bowl- apparently for exercise, the McHenry County senior Gol­ den Age Bowling League sud­ denly showed signs of....well, here's what happened last Wed- Recreation. .pAS BEENS, the spoilers, rared up and pasted McHen­ ry I Recreations in 3 straight games. Elkins rolled 533, Pa^ gers 519 and Boesiger 520- 230. With this 230 he earned second place for individual high game. The team rolled 2919, with their handicap, taking first place in team high for three games. CRACKER JACKS walked all over the Hot Shots in three games moving into second place in* league standing. STATE FARMS took two from the lea- ders, Ladds, rolltng up 2856 pihs, placing third in total pins for three games. Other high sdbres were - Nor ling 528-201, Kejnpcke 520, Annis 505, Au- champaugh 505 and Pavlovic 214. There are four more weeks of league bowling and with the race tightening up we can ex­ pect sparks to fly as the los­ ers are aiming to get even. Senior bowlers, old men? inois Department oi conserva­ tion said today. Jack Calhoun, leader of the department's forest game pro­ ject, said that those hunters lucky enough to obtain a per­ mit during the drawing on Feb. 26 must mail it and the fee to the Permit Office, Illinois De­ partment of Conservation, Springfield, 111. 62706. The per­ mit will be validated and re­ turned to the hunter. Anyone who hunts without a valid tur­ key permit will be cited by conservation officers, Calhoun said. Alexander, Union and Jackson counties are open for turkey hunting on Apr. 17, 18 and 19. A permit is good only in the county requested. One gobbler may be taken during the season. "We do not plan on wiping out the wild gobbler popula­ tion of Union, Alexander and Jackson counties," Calhoun said. "If 50 gobblers are bag­ ged we will consider the sea­ son a success. If 100 are bag­ ged, it will be a tremendous harvest as far as we're con­ cerned. In southern and east­ ern states where spring gob­ bler hunting is tradtional, states with a lot of experienced turkey hunters, a success ratio of one gobbler to ten hunters is exceptionally high." *•••?* M"It's obviousfrom the inquir­ ies we receive that very few sportsmen who obtained a tur­ key permit know much about the sport," Calhoun continued." We do not have a special area that we will stock with pen-reared toms. The birds that we will be hunting are wary, wild ones that have been running loose in the Shawnee National Forest and on private land it southern Illinois for some time. You do not have to obtain permission to hunt on the National Forest, but you must get permission to hunt on private land." C a l h o u n s u g g e s t e d t h a t sportsmen who plan to hunt tur­ keys do four things: "An un- perienced hunter should read as much about the sport as he can." Calhoun said. "He must learn how to call turkeys. He must obtain dark or camouflaged hunting clothes, and he must figure out some way to cam­ ouflage his face. He must visit the area where he intends to hunt and find woods where turkeys are located before the season begins. "The sportsman who puts out this extra effort increases his chances of killing a gobbler immensely. I seriously advise anyone who thinks he can wan­ der through the timber and kill a gobbler to stay home, because he will be disappointed. A real turkey hunter is one who works hard at the sport and is always optimistic, but he realizes that the chances of killing a gobbler are very remote. A real turkey hunter is a man who considers the season successful if he even sees a turkey or hears one gob­ ble," Calhoun concluded. The seniors cm the Warrior basketball team have talked the old boys (faculty) into a game to be played Friday night. That should draw a crowd. Run 'em ragged, Warriors. PICKUPS: Medical science says whiskey can't cure the common cold. However, neither can medical fiance. A six-year-old was crying in school. i "Whafs the matter?" asked the teacher. "I don't like school," said the child," and I have to stay here until I'm sixteen!'* "Don't let that worry you," said the teacher. "I,have to stay here until Pm sixty-five." If you're looking for the hu­ man race--they went that way. A nice thing about being a man is that you don't ha veto kiss somebody who hasn't shaved for days. Tip to the bride: If yog want a successful marriage, spend as much time mending his clothes as you do his ways. That spring sports schedule we printed on MCHS activities was not complete. We didn't want it to be. The second half will follow soon. Lloyd Munson-JAIins Angling Recognition Fishing in the Metropolitan Fishing Tournament, Lloyd M. Munson, R.F.D. 1, Round Lake, won angling recognition for landing a 72 lb.. Amber jack in the General Division. He fished with Capt. Socko Gorenflo out of Holiday Isle Marina at Isla- morada. He will receive a ci­ tation for his catch. Jim Althoff tells us that Herb Reinhansperger has turned his interest from Cubs to dogs.

Little League Of The Lakes What can Little League do for your child? Little league teaches values of teamwork, fair play, cour­ age, loyalty and discipline. Boys who play Little League are gen­ erally better equipped physi­ cally, mentally and emotionally to face the problems of grow­ ing 19. • What you as a parent can do. BurentS should accept the fact that they must shoulder respon­ sibility and take initiative to make the local program suc­ cessful. Little League is not a club in which membership im­ plies baby-sitting benefits and entertainment privileges. Practically speaking, Little League is an adult, volunteer work project constructed, su­ pervised and assisted by par­ ents who desire to make its benefits extend to their chil­ dren. Each parent should join in the total effort. There is a place and a job to do for all. The bur­ den of operating the league should not fall on a few. The parents who shirks this respon­ sibility cannot, in turn, expect others to assume the burden. OTHERS WHO SERVE Little league has a unique and magnetic attraction for many adults who recognize that the to­ tal community effort often re­ quires the help of these who do not have boys of their own. In many instances these adults are equally dedicated to the program and offer their services and talents to the local league. These men and women often give valued assistance in specialized fields and should be encouraged to participate in the program. There is no substitute for the volunteer in Little League. His understanding of Little League philosophy is contagious and inspires great spirit in the com­ munity. The few parents in our Lit­ tle League have many dynamic plans for the children of the communities which it serves and we are trying to shoulder all the burden ourselves for we few seem to realize the true benefits of Little .League to youth.

SENIOR DIVISION: Over the years, an Increas­ ing number erf boys graduating from the ranks of Little Lea­ gue and who desired to continue in some form of organized base­ ball activity were denied the op­ portunity to do so because they could not be accommodated. But this is not the situation in our area. This year all boys ages 13-15 will have the QPBprtun- Phttfos: TADDtiK' Baltimore FOR THE RECORD BOOKS: Bora in Little Rock, Arkansas, 32 years ayo. Brooks Robinson has been playing for one of baseball's winningest teams, the Baltimore Orioles, since I9SS. In the most recent complete season. I96S, he set an American League record by lead­ ing third basemen in assists for the sixth year In twelve straight Alt-Star games. Brooks fielded flawlessly. In five 162- Rame seasons, he missed just one game, le is the Orioles' player representative. Married in I960, he and his wife Connie have three sons and a daughter. "In sports or any­ thing else -- it's teamwork that pays off. "I learned to be a team player as a youngster deliv­ ering newspapers It taught me re­ sponsibility and gave me confidence. I wouldn't trade that experience for anything in the world." a I REMEMBER BY THC OLD TIMKR * NEWSPAPERBOYS DELIVER! All of us respond to challenge. Meet­ing the challenge can mean han­ dling a hot grounder or a tough pitch --or delivering newspapers in all kinds of weather. Brooks Robinson, former newspapcrboy, might have become a top star without that early experience, but he learned from it that organized effort makes the difference between winners and losers. As America's newspaperboys enjoy their annual day in the spotlight-- on International Newspaperboy Day-- the Treasury's U. S. Savings Bonds Di­ vision once again salutes them. News- paperboys have helped sell many a Bond in community campaigns through the years. Many of them arc Bond- buyers themselves. And they'll grow to man's estate with a thrift habit that brightens their futures and strengthens their country. Take stock in America Buy U.S. Savings Bonds From Mr*. William Fischer, Hutchingon, Minn.: When I was a child a weekly allowance was almost unheard of. Handouts of money were few and far be­ tween. We kids got to go to town three or four times a year and it was a thrill to be handed a nickel which we could spend as we pleased. How we stood with our noses pressed against the glass of the case which held the various kinds of penny candy trying to decide which to buy and how we could make our money go farthest. In fall we were allowed to make the im­ portant trip to town to buy our school supplies for the coming term. We were given a whole quarter to spend and during the long ride into town in the wagon we schemed and figured and added to make our money reach for the things we needed. Pencils were a penny so if we spent a nickel on them it would just about give us a years supply. A tablet costing a nickel would do the same unless too many of our friends "borrowed" a sheet here and there and forgot to return it. We also needed ink, pen points, eraser and if our finances permitted it a shiny new pencil box. We could hardly wait for school to start to display our treasures. The big event of the year was the County Fair. We took a picnic dinner and took in everything that was free and besides were each given a quarter to spend. Rides were a nickel but with so many to choose from it was hard to make the momentous decision. Besides there was the peanuts salted in the shell, candy floss, cracker jack and ice cream cones. Then too the fascinating games of chances were very enticing. After we had spent all our money we usually ended up seeing some­ thing much more desirable but I guess we learned a good lesson in handling finances.

Otto Mees "When we hit the floor...I don't want to be up there all alone," declared John C. Park- hurst. "Each member willhfeve a piece of the action and will know more about his topic than anyone else." Parkhurst, a Peoria at­ torney, is the. heavy-handed, animated chairman of the lo­ cal government committee of the Illinois Constitutional Convention. "Parky's the finest chair­ man," Donald D. Zeglis, of Momence, voiced committee sentiment. "He does his home­ work well." The other members reflect the spirit of their .top man. They're a rollicking, vocal, ex* tremely talented group of fifteen with a healthy sense of cam­ araderie and great freedom of discussion. Hie committee has decided tentatively to classify local gov­ ernmental units for purposes of home rule power. Cities over 25,000 and coun­ ties over 50,000 population would automatically get home rule. Any city between five and 25-thousand and any county be­ low 50-thousand would have the right to acquire home rule pow­ ers by local referendum. In other words, any area with dense population and all the i- dentifying characteristics of an urban area, such as blight, res­ idential decay, police and fire protection deficiencies, etc., would be allowed home rule powers. \ Under the present consti­ tution, a county can have a township or commission form of government. Ralph A. Dunn, seven- or nine-member com­ mission or a strong executive form with authority to hire a manager. The committee does not plan on striking townships from the constitution. "The only govern­ ments operating today well within their budgets are the small <xies," stressed Zeglis. "Consolidation does net'equal economy." In any event, under commit­ tee plans, periodically-sayev­ ery five years--a planning council would be elected within each county. These civic en­ gineers would (fraw up speci-j fications for the structure ofi government for that county and| submit their results to thepeo-J pie by local referendum. Thus, boundaries, sub-gov-| ernments, types of local ad-» ministrations, special districts' and the consolidation of gov-: ernmental units would always remain within the sphere of local influence. K ' * <! The local government com­ mittee has spent weeks listen­ ing to experts, governmental administrators and private cit-* izens. It has heard testimony bj£ the sponsors of over 50 mem-* ber proposals. "The bulk of our time," said Robert L. Butler,! of Marion, "has been sper concentrating on the various ar­ eas under discussion, bump­ ing heads together, and tryir to see how local governments fits into the scheme of things."* "I am confident we could sit down in a week's time--five un-^ interrupted days--and hammer' out an article," added Butler.
