PAGE 8-PLAINDEALER- WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1973 EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR J NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK SAFTY TIPS Boating a! night can be fun - and it's sometimes nec- cessary. The committee for National Safe Boating Week July 1 - 7 reminds nocturnal skippers to reduce speed and keep a sharp lookout. Shoals and other fixed obstacles can be dangerous, but so can moving ones - like a string of barges with a light in front, a light in back and 600 feet of darkness in between. Remember: Safe Boating is No Accident. Pilots on instrument flights are required by law to submit flight plans; small boat skip­ pers aren't required to submit "float plans," but they should. The float plan is much simpler than the flight plan: Just tell a neighbor or relative where you're goin| on your boat, what general course you expect to follow, and when you expect to arrive at your destination and return. If you lose your way, the person in charge of your float plan will be able to give search and rescue authorities and accurate "fix" on your location. If your boat should capsize or swamp take this word of advice from boating safety experts: Don't attempt to swim to shore; it is probably much farther than it looks; stay with the boat - most pleasure craft will stay afloat even when capsized or filled with water. Just hang on and wait for help to arrive. ANOTHER FIRST! SPRING HILL FARM RIDING SCHOOL Spring Hill Farm Riding School will present its first two day schooling show on June 23 and 24. The program, which features both jumping and equitation classes for students and boarders, will begin promptly at 9 a.m. on both days. The show offers student riders the opportunity to not only evaluate their own progress but to also be evaluated by another professional member of the American Horse Show association. Spring Hill boarder classes will be judged according to A.H.S.A. rules, another first for a schooling show. Mr. and Mrs. Mike Johnson will judge all events and present a trophy and six rib­ bons for the best efforts in each class. Spectators are invited to see Spring Hill riders in action. No admission will be charged and plenty of refreshments will be available. We'll hope to see you at Spring Hill Farm, Pyott road, Algonquin (658-8911).

ITEM: Ricotta is a rich, creamy, fresh cheese made of ewe's milk or cow's milk or from whey. It's very close to cottage or pot cheese. Window shades conserve energy About 80 percent of the elec­ trical energy used for heating and air conditioning is wasted, according to researchers for a large power company. The re­ searchers found enormous amounts of heat and cold are lost through windows. Depending on the exposure, 15 to 35 percent more energy can be required to heat or cool rooms with unshaded windows. What can families do in the way of energy conservation? For one thing, they can understand the role window shades play. In winter, shades cut down on the energy needed to heat the house. They also serve to cut what archi­ tects call cold-or-heat bounce. It's this "bounce" that causes drafts and makes the house seem colder or hotter than it really is, so that you turn the thermostat or air conditioner up for comfort.

Tom Knaack allowed only 1 run and 2 hits while striking out 9 batters. Kevin Worm had 2 of McHenry's 4 hits. Dave Wickenkamp drove in 2 runs with his single.

That invasion, plus a larger Russian offensive far to the east, doomed Hitler and Nazi Germany, after the Fuhrer had become the Na­ poleon of the 20th century by conquering practically all of Europe. For Jews, the final assault on June 6th, 1944, was the beginning of triumph on the continent after years of unbelievable horror and persecution. On the beaches of France that morning many men and boys died, from many coun­ tries, but overwhelming Al­ lied air and sea power in­ sured the landings' success. Germany was to fight on for eleven months, striking back at the United States in the Battle of the Bulge that De­ cember, but the 6th of June signaled the end for the Third Reich. Today's big picture windows make this shade protection doub­ ly important. In summer, a drawn shade can cut down on the electrical power needed for cooling as much as 35 to 50 BTU per hour. For example, in a northeast exposure, a win­ dow with an air conditioner and no shade, gains 60 BTU per square foot of glass, but with a shade only 25. On the southern side, the difference is from 75 to 35. Fast Carvers! Eskimo whale hunters in Alas­ ka carve so fast after they cap­ ture their prey that they can re­ duce an eight-ton whale to a spot in the snow in five to six hours. Word of Joe Kuna's sudden death on Sunday was a hard blow to his many McHenry area friends. And, he did have a lot of friends! Joe was the popular owner and operator of McHenry Recreation bowling alleys for some time. Later, he operated a hardware store at Bill Nye's location on Riverside Drive. But, it was in the bowling sport that most people knew Joe. He has been operating a bowling alley in Richmond in late years where malny of his friends stopped in for a visit. So--we say so long to another good friend. We once heard a fellow testify that commercials do not come on any louder than regular programs on TV. Huh! Never saw a person who didn't like to use a garden hose and spray water all over the place--or at somebody. You are an Old Timer if you can remember when your mother sent you to the store for "ten cents worth of baloney." Don't know who to thank for sending in our name and ad­ dress to a firm who will train "a young man" for a great future. Father's Day came and went away. Another year before we can be King For A Day. Even had a nice card from nieces which we treasure. Never knew they made such a card. Battling a cold, we didn't feel like much cuttin' up on Sunday, but did get down to Sib Whiting's lawn to watch the Shamrock-Clowns game. (Had tickets, but found it more comfortable on the lawn). It must have been disap­ pointing to the Shamrocks to have such a small crowd out for the big attraction. The Clowns had a one-arme^ first baseman who was remarkable. The way he could put that mitt up on his left shoulder and throw the ball all in the same motion was something to see. As advertised, Bobo Small was a crowd pleaser. He lined up two or three catchers, put the balls in his left hand and threw directly to each catcher- all at the same time. Cousin Quentin came over to watch part of the game, but disappeared every other in­ ning. Cousin Rose Ann must have had chores for him. Winkel remembered the name of the one-armed pitcher who used to come to McHenry with the Cary team. They called him "One Armed Peterson". That is when games were played in the Wattles Driving Park--south of Kane Ave., near Center St. That was long, long ago. V.A. NEWS EDITOR'S NOTE: Veterans and their families are asking thousands of questions con­ cerning the benefits their Government provides for them through the Veterans *Ad- ministration. Below are 3me representative queries. ditional information mayMe obtained at any VA office. Q -- How many changes of program can a veteran make under the G.I. Bill? A - Under Public Law 92-540, one voluntary change is per­ mitted. VA counseling is required for any additional changes. Q -- Any truth to rumors that VA plans to close some of its hospitals? A -- VA has no plans to close any of its 168 hospital. In fact, new ones are currently under construction and several were completed last year. Also, VA's hospital system is prepared to serve a record number of patients in fiscal year 1974 - 1,108,900 inpatients and 13.5 million outpatient visits. Q - I am taking on job training and I have five children. I am getting an allowance for my wife and one child but nothing for the other four children. Can you explain why? A -- Before a change in the law on Oct. 24, 1972, the allowance could only be ap­ proved for two dependents. However, under the new law, $8 monthly can be approved for dependents in excess of two. Suggest you apply for the ad­ ditional allowances. Q -- I've been honorably discharged from the Army for three months. Now, I'm ready to go to work, but I can't find a decent job. Can you advise me? A - The Veterans ad­ ministration operates 72 ^HHiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinniiiKiniiniimiiimiiiimiiimiiiiiiih Veterans Assistance centers (USVAC) in major cities of the country. Visit or call one of these centers which provide job-finding assistance. Also, register with your State Division of Employment Security because VA works closely with them, as do most business-industrial firms. Q - Is it true that my G.I. insurance diyidend on my World War II term policy is taxable? A - No. Accrued interest on insurance dividends left with VA is taxable, but not the dividends. Q - I'm a 43-year-old veteraa with an honorable discharge. Several months ago I learned I have terminal cancer and I am bedridden with no income for the remainder of my days. Can I get financial assistance from VA? A - If you had wartime military service, you should contact your nearest VA office for assistance in making a determination of your eligibility for a VA pension. Q - My brother got addicted to heroin but came out of the service with a good discharge. His private clinic just went out of business because the methadone was slipping. Would Va put him back on methadone or let him go drug-free? A -- If he appears able to make it in a drug-free program, VA would let him try that. It he failed to remain drug free, he could receive methadone at a VA clinic. Q~ I am a female veteran receiving non-service con­ nected pension. Can I claim my husband as a dependent? A -- Yes. Contact your nearest VA office for proper guidance. Q - My husband has not changed the beneficiary on his National Service Life In­ surance policy since our marriage. He says it is not necessary as the insurance is automatically paid to the wife. Is this so? A - This is not true. In suranee proceeds are paid to the beneficiary last designated in writing by the insured. If none is designated, or no designated beneficiary sur­ vives the insured, proceeds will be paid to the estate.

PHOTO BY DeWANE STUDIO RACING * * * BY PETE FRITCHIE WASHINGTON, D.C.-Tne recent Indianapolis fisaco proves Jackie Stewart was right when he refused to race at Indy, noting that he wasn't crazy in the head. With cars zooming around a walled track (on both sides) loaded with high octane fuel which explodes nicely on impact, attaining speeds of 200 m.p.h., it 's impossible t o a v o i d a c c i d e n t s , o f course. So this year death visited the scene in expected fash­ ion. And only after one driv­ er was killed in the trials, spectators and others fatally b u r n e d i n t w o m a s s i v e crashes during the shortened race, did many writers and race drivers begin to say publicly something should be done. Something should have been done years ago. It 's senseless for cars to race on the Indy speedway at to­ day's speeds. Life is cheap and money seems to be the only God of racing today, and somehow those in charge must clean up auto racing by reducing the dangers in­ volved--even if the crowd doesn't get quite as many cheap thrills.
