Lincoln and Douglas, with artillery, cavalry and infantry! The Civil War will come to life once again on July 31 and Aug 1 at Mississippi Palisades State Park near Savanna. "The Illinois Department of Conservation is inviting everyone to participate in a living memory of the Civil War as we hold the Second Annual General Grant Civil War Cantonment," said Henry N. Barkhausen, Director Last year eight reactivated Civil War units were in at­ tendance for the Cantonment. This year the Department expects twice that number. Many more activities will also be included for this year's program. "The units will set up their tents in company streets just as they did in the Civil War days," said Dean Campbell, super­ visor of the Interpretation- Recreation section of the Division of Parks .and Memorials. "Visitors will be invited to tour the streets and observe the regiments. There will be a blacksmith demon­ stration in the company street area. We are inviting all visitors to wear period dress costumes, although it is not necessary. There will be judges present and prizes are to be awarded on Sunday." CAVALRY RACE Following the tour of the camp street there will be a quarter mile cavalry race between members of the 9th Illinois Cavalry and the Carroll County Mounted Police. There will be musket and cannon competition, a Gatling gun demonstration, massed company parades and retreat ceremony, and saber drills. "One of the demonstrations that drew a lot of interest last year was the competition of muskets firing against, a SM I Mile East of McHenry MT+S FW. onRte.120 OPTIONAL CONCESSION TICKETS A Robert Mulligan /Richard A Roth Production JENNIFER O NEILL/\GARY GRIMES • JERRY HOUSER • OLIVER CONANT elia kazi doiigl&s dunaway oanaViSion1 technicolor1 National Guard unit," Camp­ bell said. "The accuracv of these musket shooters is astounding. They gave the National Guard, who were using M-l automatic rifles, a real run for the money." In addition, the National Guard Unit will have an area set aside which will have displays of the new modern weapons in comparison to the weapons of the Civil War era. Campbell also praised the accuracy of the Civil War cannons. "They shoot the balls at a 12-inch circle placed 100 yards away. It isn't uncommon for them to place seven of ten rounds in the circle," he said. LINCOLN-DOUGLAS To lend a more authentic touch to the celebration, several new events are being planned. There will be Lincoln- Douglas debates, with professional actors re-enacting,, the famous debates of 1858. A group named "The Noisy Minority" will tour the grounds in period dress singing folk songs of the Civil War era. There will also be a special attraction, the Camptown Revue. This will be a "Laugh In" type stage show, with the material all coming from the mid-1800s. And everyone should enjoy a old-fashioned greased pig contest with men from the various regiments participating. On Saturday night, visitors will be en­ tertained by a fireworks display and for those wishing t go, a moonlight steamboat ball on the Mississippi River "The kids /haven't been forgotten." Campbell added. "For them there will be various types of races and a pie eating contest." Last vear over 20.000 visitors f 4.1 It was our long time friend, Harold "Bacon's Strip" Bacon, on the other end of the line "™ and did we know his voice? We'd recognize that voice in a boiler factory. And would we like to go Out to lunch with him? We would and we did. There was much to talk about. After all, we covered a lot of ground together in days gone by When lunch was over, it seemed we hadn't scratched the surface. Must plan a return engagement. Bill DeVries was the first to come in and mention we were all smiles the morning ffter the All-Star baseball gar Tom Wiles was a happy fellow. So was Mary Etten (a happy girl). Wow! She must have been near a stroke when the National League went ahead 3-0. EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITORJ In case you haven't heard, the American League won. Too strong. The balance of power has turned. Leo and Luella Braidman stopped at our house Wed­ nesday night and told of their recent visit to the Ed Doyle spread out in Colorado. Leo reported that the Doyles get the Plaindealer and Ed doesn't think we mention the Cubs much since he went away. Who the heck does he think we have been talking about? The Barreville Broncos? Got room for any more Cub fans out there, Ed? Might send ya some -- on a permanent basis. Dear Earl ; I always enjoy your "So I Hear" in the Plaindealer. Not being of Irish descent, after spending a few days at Bull Shoals Lake, I seem to think a "Little Bit of Heaven" must have spilled over into the Peel, Ark., area. Yours truly, Clem Adams And don't forget. They still had those White Sox Stars on the wings if needed. Clem tells us that fishing is very good at Bull Shoals Lake, near Peel, Ark. He and Marge stopped in to see Vern Thomp­ son at his Triple K Resort, and hooked several big ones.

Each mother is asked to bring a dish to pass. The hot dogs and pop will be free but we would like to have enough dishes to go around this year as last year we ran short.

It's the perfect daytime distress signal, the Committee says, because it lasts all day long, unlike a flare, which is spent in only minutes. SPLASH PARTY The McHenry County College Student Government will sponsor a splash party, with a rock band, at Fox Trails club, Cary, July 23 from 8 to mid­ night. Anyone of college age is invited to attend. McHENRYl YOUTH V LEAGUE First things first - It was Mike Jablonski of the Cards who hit the homerun with three men on in the 5th inning of the Card-Brave game and Joe Sullivan who started it all with his homerun in the 4th. It's not every day a fellow hits a "Grand Slam" so credit must be given where credit's due -- Our apology. Thursday night's game matched together the Cubs and Sox. Mike Winters of the Cubs pitched his team to a 3-1 vic­ tory allowing only three Sox to get to first base. Randy Jones had to be tops with his teammates as he drove in two of their three runs. Paul Rogers did his usual good job behind the plate and a new boy to the league, Ken Lester, did very well on the mound for the Sox. Bill Stalhman is given an honorable mention for the job he did in the "Hot Corner". The Mets and Braves met on Friday night with the victory going to the Braves 6-2. Ray Buss and Ed Choate went the distance on the hill for their teams. Dave Lawson's homer with a man on in the 5th highlighted this well played game. Sunday's opener saw the Cards unload their bats on the Giants with a final score of 20-1. There were seven homeruns hit by the Cards - one by Russ Grover, two each by Kevin Worm, Scot Belohlavy and Dave Wickenkamp, with one of Dave's a grand slam in the 4th. Some excellent defensive playing was done by Russ Grover and Rich Gilbertson. Kevin Worm went the distance on the mound with a fine team behind him. Bob Hromec of the Giants proved it could be done when he hit it out of the park and became the only Giant to cro8sJ1iome plate. Sunday's second game of the day matched the Tigers and Sox with the Tigers victorious in the 7-4 ball game. Jerry Biederer and Gary Gilpin were the winning battery^~com- bination with Jerry helping his cause with a two run homer. Kurt Rosing and Rich Bradlev both earned doubles. Bob Jenkins did the pitching honors for the Sox and also hit it over the fence. The twilight game of the day saw the Cubs pull together in a team effort to add another victory to their winning column by taking one from the Mets 11- 9. Randy Vauk and Mike Winters were the winning battery combination with Mike Klapperich getting a home run with two men on to make the difference. When the game ended Monday night the Braves were on top of the 10-2 ball game against the Tigers. Bob Staley did an excellent pitching job, allowing only 4 hits. Ray Buss hit a grand slam homer in the 3rd and Scott Strange went 3 for 4 at the plate thus helping their team to another victory. Tuesday's night game saw the Cards beat the Cubs 22-1. Russ "Rusty" Grover did a fine job on the mound going the distance. He was supported firmly by his teammates hit­ ting. Five homeruns were hit by the Cards - one by Russ Grover and two each by Scott Belohlavy and Dave Wickenkamp. Scott's "Grand Slam" in the first inning helped the Cards get an early lead. Cub Randy Vauk doubled off the wall and Mike Klapperich drove him in for the Cubs only tally.

Crull, whose mammouth size commands attention, comes to the Rifles from Chillicothe, Illinois and will be looking for a spot at tackle. He will also be in McHenry Country Club m; In the first round of the Presidents Tournament at the club on Sunday, July 11, the following men won their atches. CLASS"A" R. Waytula^B. Gutzmer, D.

"I think if I lose 50-60 pounds, I'll be down to a good playing weight," Crull said. "The extra weight will only >slow me down, and I now I can lose it." Head Coach Gerry Sandberg was at the train to meet his new prospect, but had no comment to make other than, "After we get him out on the field, then I'll tell you what I think." . Crull wasn't always (^so awesome a spectacle as hel»^ now. For instance, while playing high school ball,, he weighed in at a mere 260. At Chillicothe High School, near Peoria, he played both guard and tackle, and he also had some post high school ex­ perience in Phoenixville, Pa., and with the Peoria Pintos. The Pintos are members of the minor professional Midwest League. His ambition is to enter professional ball, but the most important task facing him now, is gaining experience. "The Rifles offer me a better opportunity to get to where I evenutally want to go," Crull said. The Chicago Bears office was contacted by Crull in reference to the minor professional leagues in this area. They, in turn gave him the names of the Rifles and the Joliet Chargers. After contacting the Rifles, he was asked to come up for a tryout. This is the first week of practice that the Rifles will be suiting up for, so Crull is just in time for some action. He thinks he'll be ready for them by the time the season rolls around, and the Rifles are anxiously waiting. Those who find it diffi­ cult to get down to work in the summer usually find it difficult to get down to work in spring, autumn and fall, too. \ T Sport Quiz Question.
