PAGE 7-PLAIND^ALER-FRIDMY, OCTOBER 29, 1971 Snow- Mobile News Bylnga SNOW IS COMING! After months of anxious expectation, the" snowmobile season is almost here. Christmas being only eight weeks away, if we all do our "Snow Dance", and with - the help of "Mathon's Perch", I know we'll have just tons of beautiful snow by then. Since snowmobiling has come into its own, many fine snowmobile clubs have been formed in the area. The pur­ pose of most clubs is to enjoy snowmobiling with a group that have the same interest at heart. Most important though, is that these clubs stress safety, education, and respect for other people's property while snowmobiling, which is an absolute requisite. With the new Illinois Registration Act in force this year, it will be up to the clubs and . the individual snowmobiler's behavior as to how strict these laws will be enforced. It's a good law, and if obeyed, will give us more freedom of travel than we ever had in the past. A snowmobile club has many advantages for its members. Like going on week long trips, securing land for riding, safaring for a day on beautiful wooded trails and ending the ride with a picnic, camp fire and a sing-along. CluJbs usually receive rates and other ad­ vantages that the individual has no way of obtaining. If you are new at the sport or an old timer, I suggest you join a club and see what you may have been missing. There are several snowmobile clubs in the area if you are thinking of joining one. It is best to phone or write to the secretary of the club for in­ formation. The snowmobile clubs in this area are: "The Harmony Snowmobile Club", meets the 1st and 3rd Friday of the month at Pitzen's Resort on Pistakee Bay. Secy: Sharone Adams 509 W. Main St. Barrington, III,.Phone 312-381- 3952. Membership limited to 40. "The Sno Bugs" meet on the 2nd and 4th Friday at the Oak Park Hotel on Pistakee Bay. $ecy: Betty Graham 2726 loquois Tr. McHenry, 385-5663. Membership unlimited. The Sno Bugs started off their season by giving a wonderful buffet dinner for all their members. On Oct. 22 they held their annual election of of­ ficers, voted in were: President Tom McAuliffe; Vice Pres, Dave Granger; Secy. Betty Graham and Treas, Dorie Tonyan. McHenry Police Chief, Kenneth P. Espey, and McHenry County Sheriff, Art Tyrrell, will be the guest speakers at The Sno Bugs special snowmobile meeting to be held on Friday, Oct. 29 at 8 p.m. at the Oak Park Hotel on Pistakee Bay. The Illinois Registration Act and how it will affect us here in McHenry will be discussed. Everyone is welcome. The "Polar Pairs" of Spring Grove meet the 4th Monday of the month. Secy: Harry Mueller 2208 W. Manor, McHenry, 111., 385-4761. This is the club if you recall that holds the annual snowmobile races at the Breezy Lawn Farm on Rte. 176 in Spring Grove the early part of January. Here also is one of the few clubs that have built their own clubhouse, a big achievement for any snowmo­ bile club to do. There are three new clubs forming in the Antioch area. I am sorry I don't have the secretaries' names, but they are: Lupa Lushes, Sequoits Snowchiefs, and Halings Snow Birds. If there are any other snowmobile clubs in the area that I have missed, if their secretary will drop me a line I'll be glad to list them and their activities. In fact, if anyone has any questions or opinions, address them to "Snowmobile News" in care of the Plaindealer. Those that would be of wide interest to everyone I will try and answer .wm PRE HALLOWEEN SHOW FRI. 10/29 FOR 1 WK. 2 CREATURE FEATURES VINCENT PRICE IN "DR.

Bush, 55, superintendent of Johnsburg School District 12, died unex­ pectedly Monday, Oct. 25, in McHenry hospital following a short illness. Mr. Bush was born Jan. 27, 1916, in Hennepin, 111. After attending Illinois State university, where he obtained Bachelor and Master degrees, he taught in the rural Hennepin school system for three years. From 1942 to 1946 Mr. Bush served in the Armed Forces. Before coming to Johnsburg in 1959, he had served as superintendent of the Stanford Community Consolidated grade school for thirteen years. Survivors are his wife, Julia Ann; and two daughters, Karen Windsor of Ottawa, 111., and Janice Boyer of Forest Grove, Ore. His parents, Fred and Loretta Bush, preceded him in death. The body rested at the George R. Justen & Son funeral home until 9:30 Thursday morning, when a Mass was offered at St. John the Baptist Catholic church, Johnsburg. Burial was in St. Hyacinth cemetery, LaSalle, 111. WHOOOO! WHOOOO! - Plaindealer Photographer Wayne Gaylord really shouldn't have been too surprised when he started out on his Halloween assignments this past week. What else would one expect to find but such a creature as this arising from the pumpkin patch near Halloween? Questioning the witch, he learned that she will remain well hidden during the trick or treat hours from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday evening, but may become aroused and rise again if she sees the house-to-house trek starting Friday or extending to Sunday night. The McHenry Police department has asked youngsters to observe Saturday night for trick or treating, although extra patrol will be in effect throughout the weekend.

REGISTRATION Section 5-1 -Paragraph J An owner, lessee or occupant of premises who gives permission to another to snowmobile upon such premises does not thereby extend any assurance that the premises are safe for such purpose, or assume respon­ sibility for or incur liability for any injury to person or property caused by any act of persons to whom the per­ mission is granted. This section shall not apply where per­ mission to snowmobile is given for a valuable consideration other than to this State of any political subdivision or municipality thereof. Note: the above law should be of interest to anyone owning large acres of land that snowmobilers and clubs have asked to ride on. Chairman Theodore P. Fields said cases of three juveniles sentenced as felons on nar­ cotics offenses will be included. New statutes provide reduced sentences for most marijuana convictions, tougher penalties for sale or possession of "hard drugs," and more sentencing discretion by the courts. SNOW RACER . . . Expected to be a big hit in the country's snow areas this winter is a motorless snow borne t vehicle which has sturdy tubular steel controls to provide positive maneuverability without loss of speed. It planes on top of the snow for a smooth, soft ride. •ARE YOU THINKING OF A NEW CAR? 1 I • f LEE LENZ Fleet Manager • If you are, come in and let me show | you our beautiful line of Buicks, lOpels, and Clean one owner used cars OUR'S IS A SERVICE DEALERSHIP FOR YOU Baber si ALL PHONES 587-2555 QUICK JOSEPH McEVOY Funeral services were held Tuesday for Joseph E.
