Johnsburg came up with eight runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to wipe out a six run Bakery lead, hejd in the seventh and won 10 to 8. As it stands now. they hold a two game lead over Lakeland and the Bakery, and that should hold up through the last six games. B e s i d e s J o h n s b u r g , Lakeland, and the Bakery, the rest of the league is fairly weak T P Mathews hold down 4th place and the last play-off spot with a 5-4 record. At times, however. T P has played some good soltball Also, with a chance for fourth place is Dee Concrete, but they now have five losses Rounding out the second division is A&W Root beer, the Bath Shop, and .Alexander Lumber, in that order Marine Festival Day and the whole week brought crowds and activity to McHenry. Many people deserve a pat on the back for their efforts. At the risk of forgetting somebody, we won't mention names. It is a Chamber of Commerce promotion. The City of McHenry cooperated to a great extent. The Public Works Department went all out to dress up the city. The Police Department had a busy time and did a bang-up job in planning and handling the crowds. And, we never forget the Fire Department. They are there when needed. can do some research before he gets here The smooth handling of many probjems by many people is not just by accident. Many long and hard hours go into making the big Fiesta a success. A Thank You to all who helped in any way to make an enjoyable time for us. Elmer "Biff" Meyer and his wife, Esther, were here as always. Nobody has more fun meeting old friends than "Biff".

Barbee, Spartanburg, S.C.: I was surprised to read in your column of interest concerning living grandchildren of Civil War veterans I am the DAUGHTER of a Civil War vet­ eran, not yet 53 years old. I have a sister, Naomi W. Rhodes, Whitmire, S.C., who is just 54 years old. Our father, the late John Jackson Williams, a native of southern Georgia, was 70 years old when my sister was born, yet he lived to see both of us grown. I have often wondered if I might be the youngest child of a Civil War veteran, but it is not impossible there could be one younger. My father has seven living grandchildren. My sister and I have many memories of our father's reminis­ cences of Civil War and ante bellum days. Our grandfather was a Baptist minister in southern Georgia, where he openly oppos ed slavery and freed a slave (whom he inherited) before the Civil War. Our mother, Lou Anna Lank- ford Williams, 31 years younger than our father, still lives. She is now 93 years of age and receives a Confederate widow's pension (S«nd cont r ibut ions to th is co lumn to Th« Old T imer , Box 639, Frankfor t , Ken­ tucky 40601 ) We looked up from our desk the other day and was sur­ prised to see "Shorty" Long standing in front of us.

The ski show provided lots of excitement for the thousands of spectators who lined the shores of the Fox River and watched the show from hundreds of boats in the river. The highlight and finale of the show is shown here in a series of photos as the act progresses. The kite used in these photos is a specially designed gull wing shape which can be guided much like a glider. In the large picture, the skier has reached full speed and is over 300 feet in the air with the tow boat going at about 40 m.p.h. In the top right photo he has released the tow line and beginning to glide. The next shot down shows the skier as he banks the kite to his right lining up his landing spot in j| front of the city beach. In the next photo he has landed in the water and is turning toward the shore. The photo across the bottom shows the crowd giving the skier a big hand as he comes to a stop next to the City Beach. Only a few skiers in the world have successfully attempted this trick.

Athletes are to bring the completed physical form to the main office of the school in which they will be enrolled (freshman and sophomores to East campus and juniors and seniors to the West campus office) at which time they will be given a permit slip, i.... slip must be presented to your coach when you are issued equipment. No one will be allowed to get their equipment without this receipt. Football players will also have to pay for their share of the football in­ surance before they can obtain their equipment. This in­ surance is to be paid at the main office when you turn in your physical exam form.

T. Spasavich collected 3 hits including l roundtripper and 4 RBI's. B. Dolan kept his hot hitting up and pounded out 2 hits. In the second game of the evening, the "Big Red" machine had to come from behind in the late innings to defeat Mer's Beach 17 to 13. L. Smith had .three hits for the winners. Wisnieski went 3 for 3 but his hits were rather wasted. On Thursday evening Dog House beat Carl's 17 to 3. B. Harris led Dog House with 3 hits. J. Fino's 2 tyts weren't enough to make up the dif­ ference in the score. The last game of the night was all Harmony Resort, as they got off to a quick start and went on to win 17 to 11. G. Kurtz, and L. Schmitt had 3 hits apiece for the winners. Bergsloff's 3 hits couldn't produce all the needed runs.
