All of Adele Froehlich's associates in Ye Olde Plain- dealer are happy as all get out this week since the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce presented her with a beautiful plaque inscribed "IN SPECIAL RECOGNITION FOR YOUR COMMUNITY SERVICE." It happened Thursday night in the City Park as a large crowd gathered for the special band concert as part of Marine- Festival Week. Adele was present through some manipulation by Marie Yegge. Mel Prust, one of the McHenry Chamber's finest, had the honor of presenting the EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR- plaque. As Mel arose to speak, our "Brenda" was busy talking - not listening. Wowie -- was she surprised! So surprised that for the first time in her life she couldn't talk. With typical modesty, she couldn't believe the honor belonged to her. We, in the Plaindealer group, know of Adele's many good deeds and the talent she gives, with unbounded energy, toward the betterment of our com­ munity. Since Adele would not print a story on the front page about her own honors, "So I Hear" snatched the picture. We may pick on our "Brenda" at times, but nobody is happier about the recognition given to her. accepted at the Lake Region YMCA office at 95 N.

Be there! The Marine Day parade drew the largest crowd ever. The weatherman gave us a scare in the morning, but changed his mind. Too many prayers to ignore. We prayed to St. Patrick. Harry Dean as Old Abe was a knockout in the parade. All he needed was an axe and a log to split. Let's run him for president. It's nice to have a good friend like Frank Gans. As we stood on the beach to watch the water show, Frank came over with two lawn chairs. Very thoughtful. Saw two boys riding bikes, with lights on their upper arms. That we liked. Could save an accident. Mary Etten confesses that <? Work stops; bills don't It can happen to anybody--if illness or injury lays you up in the hospital or at home. For weeks, or maybe months. Then what do you do? No income. But all the usual bills--for groceriej, clothing, shelter, etc. Some people don't give it a second thought. Be­ cause they have disability income insurance from Country Life. With a check coming in every month-- for $50 to $1500, depending on the plan they chose. You might be surprised at how inexpensive this kind of peace-of-mind protection really is. And it won't cost you a penny to visit with your Country Companies agent about it. The Country Companies.

PARADE SIDELIGHT - When the GOP elephant arrived in front of Ralph Ott's and Jack Phelan's homes Sunday he became nervous and did what comes naturally. Jack promptly took to cleaning up the street with a garbage bag and shovel and several took ictures. Jack went over to Ralph's and tried hard to convince him that this was the best stuff ever for his prize flowers. Monday morning, two clumps ap­ peared, tied with red ribbon, on the Phelan steps. With that little story, it seeems time to ring off. We hope the Democrats will get into the act next year. Donkeys don't get nervous.

Henry Aaron, graceful, superstar of the Atlanta team, is young enough to play a few more years.

In 1971 Duane "Whitey" Harris, Lake Villa, was the overall choice of the fans. At that time, Johnny Reimer, Caladonia, Wis., was the point leader just as he is this season. This year however, there are many new faces with a large fan following to be considered. The votes in favor of many rookie drivers is expected to be so heavy that officials have/* decided to single out not wily the most overall popular super modified and sportsman stock car drivers, but the most popular rookie driver as well. MARISH WINS WAUKEGAN FINAL FEATURE Ron Marish, Milwaukee, overcame handling problems in his super modified stock car on the high humidity slick asphalt Waukegan Speedway to win his first IRA feature on Friday night July 21. The race signaled the end of a series at the Waukegan Speedway in which Interstates Racing attempts had been plagued by rain, cold weather and lack of fan support. Initially, IRA had set Thursday nights but switched to Fridays to determine if that would prove better for the fans.. It didn't and now the IRA modifieds will concentrate on just the Kenosha County Speedway in Wilmot and the Lake Geneva Raceway in Lake Geneva. Special dates in which IRA will take part are set for Tuesday night, Aug. 15 at the Capital Speedway in 'Oregon and a series of possible dates at the Grundy County Speedway in Morris. The new track at Wilmot will not be completed for regular season racing and now best guesses are for possible post-season racing. The IRA twin 50 season Championship race has been movedgup to Saturday night Sept. 2^at Wilmot and that will end regular season racing there. DUKE NORTON, McHenry stands ahead of his brother Sid In the pits at Wilmot when this picture was snapped and then thqy finished just this way at the Kenosha County Speedway in the feature race on Saturday night. It not only was the first win fbr Duke, a rookie this season in Sportsman stock car racing on the IRA Circuit, but also a first one, two finish for a brother team. Several brother teams are in competition, but never before have any finished one and two. Other brother teams include IRA super modified stock car point leader, Johnny Reimer and Joel; Paul and Jim Cameron and Ron and Butch Bergsma. With the win Saturday, Duke established himself not only as a favorite to win the "Most Popular Sportsman Rookie Driver Contest", but could emerge as the overall most popular Sportsman driver. The brothers have a large fan following from McHenry. Lescher Joins 500 Mile Club Barry Lescher, became the second member of the 1972 McHenry high school Cross Country team, to join the ex­ clusive 500 mile club by running 509 miles to date. Barry, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Lescher, McHenry, is a senior and is being counted on to bolster the big gaps left by the big three, Sea ton, Diedrich and Gerstein, who were graduated last June. Comments on Conservation F r o m t h e I l l i n o i s D e p a r t m e n t o f C o n s e r v a t i o n DEMO DRAWS WELL FORHATOAT LAKE GENEVA . A record number of fans and cars turned out for the HATO Saturday night racing at the Lake Geneva Raceway Saturday nigjtf and saw Bob Peterson, Lake Geneva win his second race in a row finishing ahead of Gordy Mudlaff, Burlington; Jerry Straube, Burlington and Ron Bauman, Genoa City. _ The Fisherman Pays His Way Each time an angler purchases items peculiar to his sport, he is contributing to improved fishing prospects. Under new federal law, states receive 11 per cent on the sale of fishing rods, creels, reels, artificial lures, baits and flies. The money is applied as a manufac­ turers' excise tax. Thus, through each purchase, the fishing sports­ men of Illinois are contributing in the expansion and continued im­ provement of their sport through­ out the state and in any other state in which they make purchases. And the more he spends, the more the fisherman contributes. The tax was originally a World War II revenue source. After the war the money was allocated to states based on populations and fishing license sales. "States began receiving the money in 1952," said William Harth for the Illinois Department of Conservation. "It may be used for research, acquisition, coordina­ tion and development of>fishery-re- lated properties and activities. "The fisheries division first de­ velops a project and submits it to the U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries Mudlaff took the feature race lead early and hel& it until the fifteenth lap of the 25 lap distance when Peterson took over to win by only a couple of car lengths. _ and Wildlife. Upon approval, the state may begin the project and receive 75 per cent reimbursement on money Illinois has spent." Since the inception of the act Illinois has received $3,809,964.17. This year's allotment for the de­ partment is 5336,251.08. "In Illinois we use most of the money for development," said Harth. "We feel the best way to help the angler in Illinois is to provide more fishing areas. We have bought property,' developed and built 15 lakes. A 16th lake is now being built." The first lake built under this program was Red Hills Lake in Red Hills State Park, in 1953. Other lakes developed through this act * include Lake Murphysboro, Argylc Lake, Siloam Springs Lake, Lincoln Trail Lake, Johnson-Sauk Trail Lake, Randolph County Lake, Pierce Lake, Forbes Lakes, Lake George in Loud Thunder Forest Preserve, Rock Island County, Douglas County Lake, Morrison- Rockwood Lake, Sam Parr Lake and Bullfrog and Papoose Lakes in the Cook County Forest Preserves. Property has been acquired and work is now in progress for Shab- bona Lake. "Fishing is enjoyed by more Illi­ nois residents than is any other outdoor activity," Harth concluded. "Each year over 800,000 licenses are sold to anglers. As they pur­ chase their fishing gear they are helping themselves to better fish­ ing."
