Ponies Are In Fait: Spotlight Two outstanding attractions at the 1972 McHenry County Fair involve ponies. Both will be presented Saturday, Aug. 5, and judging by the response from last year's pony shows, this should draw a sizab crowd, Mrs. Iris H. Slovace! reports. She is familiar with the fun and excitement that ac companies a pony show, and she revealed this week that the McHenry County Fair All Pony show has tripled in its size in the number of classes offered. The first of the two pony shows will be the halter classes at 10 a.m. Aug. 5 on the east side on the racetrack. The afternoon attraction will be at 4:30 p.m. before the grandstand audience and feature per formance classes. The McHenry County Fair Pony show was granted a point system from the American Shetland Pony club (C point show), Illinois Horse and Pony Breeders and Exhibitors (class B show), and Midwest Welsh Pony Breeders (class A A show). One of the primary purposes is to show the McHenry County Fair grandstand audience that a pony is not just a "kid's" animal but a little equine that should be enjoyed by the whole family from tiny tots to grandparents. Many of the most ardent exhibitors are grand parents. ^ Several of the innovations started at the McHenry County Pony show are now becoming an important part of all large pony shows in the midwest and one of them is the combination class in which the same exhibitor and pony enter the ring in pleasure driving, change tack in the ring and finish the class under saddle. "This shows the versatility of the ponies," Mrs. Slovacek added. This year's show also offers fourteen halter classes for both Shetlands, Welsh and Grade ponies. Anyone interested in getting more information concerning the Pony show should call the chairman, Mrs. Iris Slovacek, Crystal Lake, at 459-4612.

(A little hon esty never hurt anyone. Step #2. Rid yourself of tortuous recrimination and self- doubt. (Many perfectly charming and responsible people make The Silly Little Mistake.) Step #3. Concentrate on this simple fact: you can save up to 56% on station-to-stat ion, out-of-state1 calls just by dialing the number yourself - instead of dialing the Operator. (Who knows? The exercise may do you some good, too.) Steps 4 through 8. Memorize Step #3 by repeating it to yourself at least five times. (Now you're on the brink of success.) Step #9. The final mastery of this secret of saving is good, old-fashioned practice. Sharpen up your direct dial ing skills, just call Mom in Mobile. Or an out-of-state friend - anywhere in the U.S. except Alaska and Hawaii. (What a nice way to save money.)
