County College Lose Sixth Str, • . ] iry I Coi Bt their this pi I County College sixth straight McHenry cagers lost contest this past Saturday afternoon On this occasion the conquerors were Waubonsee College of Sugar Grove who turned back the Scots 97 to 78. Rebounding was a big factor in the contest and Waubonsee had the best of it as they grabbed 55 to only 42 for the smaller Scots. The shooting percentages also told part of the story as the visitors hit on 43 of 87 attempts while the local five could connect on only 34 of 87 tries. • The outcome was actually decided very early in the contest as Waubonsee jumped Cagers ht PAG E 9- PLAIN DEALER-FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1972 in front afteyllbout 5 minutes and were never again headed. Larry Lowrey, Wes Witmus and Bruce Hprbecke led the Scots' scoring attack with 16,14 and 13 points respectively. T"he Scots have 2 more chances to break into the win column before the holidays. On Wednesday, December 13, they play host to Harper and then on Saturday, December 16 will travel to Waukegan to take on Lake County. BOXSCORES McHENRY fg ft p} tot.

E. Siemert says he now has enough. "We have received more than enough black walnuts in response to our recent news release appeal," said Siemert, "and we are certainly appreciative to the black walnut owners for their cooperation." U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliaiy Code For Snowmobilers Though the need for black wal­ nuts has been satisfied, the forestry division has added hicJcofy and butternuts to the list of tree seeds it seeks to purchase. The hickory nuts and butternuts will be planted next spring in four state nurseries to produce seedlings which later will be planted to establish seed orchards. Siemert said the Department of Conservation sells more than six million seedlings each year and black walnut is the most popular of 27 species of trees and shrubs available under the program. In fact, demand for black walnut seedlings annually outstrips t h e state's ability to provide them, he added. Siemert said the forestry division still has need for red and white oak acorns and the purchase price of 20 cents per pound on 50-pound minimum amounts is unchanged. Hickory nuts will be bought at the same price in 50-pound lots, but butternuts are worth $3 per 100 pounds in 500-pound minimum amounts. Sellers should deliver the nuts and acorns to their district forestry office after having m^de prior arrangements with the district for­ ester. He is listed in local phone books or can be contacted through county Soil Conservation Districts or Agricultural Extension offices. "People can be divided into,three groups: those who make things hap­ pen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happen­ ed." --John W. Newbtrn from HISTORY'S SCRAPBOOK DATES AND EVENTS FROM YESTERYEARS The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 6-5 offers the following Safety Code for Snowmobile Buffs: 1. First, be sure that your snowmobile is in top-notch mechanical condition,' both at the beginning of the winter season, and throughout the months of its use. 2. Always use the "buddy" system. Never ride off alone or unaccompanied. 3. Wear sensible protective clothing designed for snowmobiling. Remember that in the cold winter weather and at speeds the machine can reach, the chill factor can reach 30 degrees below zero, and cause severe frostbite. 4. Use a helmet, goggles and- or visor to prevent injury from twigs, stones, hail, chips of ice, and flying debris. 5. Avoid wearing long scarves, as they have been known to get caught in the moving parts of the snowmachine. 6. Do not drink when you snowmobile. Alcohol is a factor in over 50 percent of automobile accidents, and there is evidence to believe it can be just as grim a statistic in snowmachine accidents. 7. Familiarize yourself with the snowmobile you are driving. 8. Know the terrain over which you are to ride. If new to you, inquire of someone who has traveled over it before. 9. Know the weather forecast, and especially the ice and snow conditions in the area. 10. Be sure you understand and obey the local laws and ordinances, and that you respect no trespassing signs. 11. For your own protection, acquire a thorough knowledge o f s t a t e l a w s c o n c e r n i n g snowmobiles. 12. Be sure you carry liability and disability insurance. 13. Do not pursue domestic or wild animals. No true sport­ sman will stoop to such con­ duct. If you see a violation of this rule, report it to the nearest authorities. 14. If you must snowmobile at night, be sure you have proper illumination-i.e. so that you can be seen. 15. Always carry a first-aid kit. 16. Drowning is one of the major causes of snowmobile fatalities. When not familiar with the ice thickness or the water currents, avoid ice- covered areas.

The second half of the shotgun "The kill was higher than we season wiH be Dec- 8' 9 and 10" anticipated in northern and cen­ tral Illinois," said Jack Calhoun, leader of the deer project for the Illinois Department of Conserva­ tion. "With the large amounts of standing corn in the upper parts of the state we thought the harvest would be much lower." Calhoun pointed out that bad weather forced many to forego hunting in southern Illinois. Rain and snow fell on the southern third of the state Saturday and Sunday. Pope County in southern Illi-, nois led with a harvest total of 507. JoDaviess recorded 440 deer. Other counties with high harvest figures included Johnson, 298; Carroll, 296; Alexander, 294; and William­ son, 278. The largest deer taken was a 259-pound field-dressed buck in Mercer County. The largest do; was a 207-pound whitetail in Craw­ ford County. Conservation law enforcement officers recorded 326 arrests, most of which were for improper cloth­ ing. Other predominate violations included having uncased guns in vehicles and hunting without per­ mission.
