I PAGE 6-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1973 EARL WALSH' There's a big time coming in Johnsburg June 20. It is a golf day for Johnsburgers and former Johnsburgers. The event will be known as "Joe Frett Memorial". Joe always dreamed of a golf day. Now that he has gone, his many friends remember and will carry out his wishes. The golf outing will be at Chapel Hill Country Club and a dinner will follow in the evening in the Johnsburg Community Club hall.. You Johnsburgers and for­ mer Johnsburgers can call Lloyd Freund, Dick Hiller or Si Meyers for tickets. A very commendable gesture is the plan to donate any profits of the day to the Pioneer Center. Had a nice Easter and the Bunny brought us a green egg. How did he know? When we visit the relatives such as the Ed Blakes, we have to watch the Cub games. Leo Durocher in his hey-day never put on a show like that of Manager Whitey Lockman Sunday afternoon. The umpire gave him the old familiar heave-ho, but the show went into three acts. 1 Maybe Whitey knew what he was doing. It shook his team So I Hear SPORTS EDITORJ into action after a trimming in the first game. The snow tires come off this week and the lawn mower comes out. Had occasion to call on Mrs. David (Mabel) Powers recently and found the youngest near-90-year old girl you will ever imagine. Such Spirit! In calling on several elderly people we found a lot of com­ fortable chairs. Such comfort and & godfl visit make it hard to leave. Took another look at Mrs. Lewis Stoffel's pantry and decided every home should have an old fashioned pantry. Our grandma did. So did our mother. Sports writers are still saying the Chicago Bulls basketball players beat themselves in tournament play out in California. Watching games, it seemed to us that every time we looked up that giant Wilt Chamberlin was in the way. He beat 'em. Looks like the Cubs gave up too much for Lefty LaRoche, a relief pitcher who needs relief. News of the week: Brooks Robinson, Baltimore Oriole, made an error. Weekend Live Entertainment Every Friday & Saturday Night THE BROTHERS IN LAW McHenry Country Club Open to the Public 385-1072 820 N. John, McHenry, Stock Car Racing Bad weather forced the postponement of the second of three scheduled Saturday night races at the Waukegan Speedway Saturday. Racing resumes next Saturday at 8 p.m. Cold weather stopped the track on April 7 moving the opening races back to April 14 when the late model sportsman men made their season's debut. i\ext Saturday's sportsman and hobby stock action will mark the end of single night racing over the weekend as the track races into full schedule starting Saturday and Sunday, May 5 and 6. The sportsman will continue to compete on Saturdays with the late model super stocks returning to a Sunday-night- only slot. Hobby stock cars, sometimes referred to as 'street cars' race both nights. Time trials start at 7:15. The first annual combined Manufacturer's PRO Stock and Funny Car Factory Invitational will be held on Sunday, April 29, at 2 p.m. at the Great Lakes Dragaway. This is our first major event of the 1973 season. Rain date for the above event will be one week later, May 6, Sunday, 2 p.m. Saturday night will be the regular Grudge racing from 5-11 p.m. Pre-Easter rain showers on Saturday, April 21 caused the first race cancellation of the 1973 season at the Lake Geneva Raceway. If the race had been run, it would have been the first race for many new cars ready to make the start. On hand was Johnny Reimer, Caladonia with the Marescalco super- modified. He was the 1972 IRA Lake Geneva Champion but last year drove for Freddie Neilsen of Lake Villa, Illinois. This year that car is being driven by Whitey Harris. Both Reimer and Harris have some catching up to do to overtake the impressive win streak of Roger Otto, Burlington. He has won not only both features for this class but also the heat races. Jerry Straube and Les Peterson have accounted for the Sportsman stock car wins and in the races next Saturday night, they will be hard pressed to stay ahead of Paul Craddock, Round Lake, Illinois driver who has been impressive in time trials only so far. The Lake Geneva Raceway will continue with the four classes of cars each Saturday Public Noticel All Studded Snow Tires Have To Be Removed From Your Automobile By- May 1st, 1973. A Friendly ~\ Reminder From Your Local Skelly Dealer Runneth Over The Fox The Fox River runneth over this past weekend with the heavy rainfall and damaged dams in Wisconsin. While residents along the river took measures to protect their property from the rising Fox, these kids enjoyed their bicycling by running over the Fox. Anyway, they did clean the wheels of their bikes. (STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) Rain Halts High School Sports Activities YMCA Spring Golf Lessons To Begin By Dick Rabbitt The heavy rains of the past week has put a damper on Warrior athletic activities. Track, baseball, tennis and golf all had to be cancelled due to the weather. However, a few activities took place. The Warrior baseball nine took it on the chin at Wauconda by a score of 6 to 5. Four errors led to the Warrior downfall. The Sophs won 7 to 2 behind the 3 hit pitching of lefthander Terry Gough, and the freshmen won over Wauconda 6 to 3. In the Batavia Relays on Saturday the Warriors managed to score 5 points. Ev Klapperich, the sophomore speedster, took 2nd in the 100 yd. dash in the fine time of 10.6. Rick Freund picked up 1 point as he was 5th in the pole vault. This week is a real full schedule for all Warrior teams. The baseball teams will play every day, there are 4 golf matches, three track meets, finishing off with the Annual McHenry Relays on Saturday, plus the fact that the tennis team is engaged in two mat­ ches this week. It looks as if the old typewriter will be a hum­ ming this week with that schedule. Coast Guard Advises Additional Requirements For Boatmen In 1973 Golf instruction classes for teenagers and adults were announced in the spring schedule that was sent to all Lake Region YMCA members. This spring classes will be held at Arnold Palmer Golf Range at Routes 31 and 14. The response to the spring schedule was excellent and additional classes have been scheduled to assure those who are interested in participating adequate opportunity for registration time. Mr. Tommy Mehan, an ex­ perienced golf professional will teach the classes this spring. Each class is limited to six students. There is opportunity to register for classes that begin on Wednesday, May 2 for teenagers at 5:15 p.m. and for adults who would like more advanced instructions at 8 p.m. Adult beginners may register for the Thursday classes that begin on May 3 at 6:20 p.m. and 7:10 p.m. Each instruction period is 45 minutes in length and is con­ centrated on learning to use one or two different clubs. There are seven lessons in the spring quarter. In the event of rainy weather, classes are re­ scheduled for the next week and the ending session ex­ tended one week: Registration and information for the spring golf classes are available at the Lake Region office at 95 Grant street on Monday through Friday, from 9 a m to 5 p.m. and on Saturday mornings. Recreational boatmen should be aware of recently im­ plemented Coast Guard requirements that apply to virtually all pleasure craft. The new regulations have been drawn up under the authority of the Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971 by which Congress sought to "improve boating safety and to foster greater development, use, and enjoyment of all the waters of the United States." Of the greatest interest to owners of small boats are regulations prescribing the use of lifesaving equipment. Prior to April 17, 1972, only motor- boats were required by the Coast Guard to carry "personal flotation devices" (a term coined by the Coast Guard to serve as a generic description for such items as life preser­ vers, life vests, and buoyant cushions); since April of last night with a healthy increase in numbers indicated for the Sportsman Jr. Class and the P.J. Stocks. Gates open at 6 p.m. with time trials at 7 and the first race at 8 p.m. The track is located one mile south of Lake Geneva, off Old Route 12, 6n Bloomfield road. Fans may call 414-248-3312 for weather in­ formation anytime Saturday. year, however, all recreational vessels including sailboats, canoes, rowboats, rafts, and boats under tow must have one Coast Guard approved personal flotation device (PFD) for each person aboard the boat. When the new requirement was announced, Rear Admiral Austin C. Wagner, chief of the Coast Guard's Office of Boating Safety commented, "It is not just the motorboat that has been involved in fatal mishaps. We find that fatalities occur in every type of craft, motor driven or not. This is why the Coast Guard...has extended the requirements to include non- motorized craft." Since last April, moreover, the coast Guard has been developing more detailed requirements concerning the carriage of personal flotation devices, and in October, 1972, a proposal published in the Federal Register called for the per­ formance classification of lifesaving devices into one of five types describing which types .are acceptable on boats of specified sizes. It „is an­ ticipated that these new PFD requirements will be in effect later this year. Along with the proposed regulations would be the requirement that one Type IV (throwable) device be carried in addition to the other required devices on all boats sixteen feet and longer. Among the few exemptions to the proposed PFD regulations would be white water canoeists who need special lifesaving equipment permitting extreme freedom of movement. For these people, non-Coast Guard approved devices will be permitted until July of 1974, by which time it is expected that new Coast Guard approved flotation items will be available.

Most people on the highways are afraid to stop and help others because it might be a trick. It is not so in boating. Everyone considers it a privilege to help everyone else. It is when you are in trouble in boating that you really find out that most people (especially boating people) are really good, kind, and helpful, and they act (on the water) as if they have read the Boy Scout laws. Too bad we can't carry that same boating spirit into our everyday lives.
