Oo The Sidelines With Dick Rabbltl Coach Ken Swanson is going to want that certain gentlemen to keep kissing that "blarney stone". Once the popular coach could get his boys on the field, there has oeen no stopping the Warriors. They are off to the best start a Warrior team has had in years. Opening the season with a double header win over Lake Forest, and the manner in which they handled the Scouts must have brought a smile to the Coach's face. Playing errorless ball in the first game is also a rare occasion for a high school team. And the way they banged that ball around McCracken field you would think that a trapshoot was taking place. Monday, someone up there likes them. Trailing 6 to 2 against Crystal Lake, the Warriors took advantage of Tiger mistakes, and tied the score. The game was called, and will be continued from that point on when the two teams meet in Crystal Lake later in the season. This is a North Suburban Cohference rule, and it eliminates the travel, and the worry about getting the game played on an off date. Tuesday the Warriors took their bats with them to Dundee. Randy McCafferty hit a long home run. Randy did the same thing Saturday, when he hit a 400 foot blast into deep center field at McCracken field, but neglected to touch first base, and was called out. Tommy Ludwig liked the Cardunal pitching, when he hit a double and a long triple to right center. Dave Wickencamp had three out of four, and looks as if he has shaken off the slump that plagued him last season. So with a 3 and 0 conference record, the Warriors are really the surprise team of the league at this point. Let's hope they can continue their pace throughout the rest of the season. Gary Gray's tennis team really showed the Rockford schools what it was all about last Saturday. Winning the quadrangular has to be a feather in the cap of the netters. This was their first quadrangular win ever, and it should give some of the young players the confidence they need for future matches. Wally Scott's thinclads fared quite well in the Oswego Relays last Saturday. The injury to Ev Klapperich did dampen the day, as the senior speedster pulled up lame in the 100 yd dash. He pulled a hamstring muscle and will be out of action for at least several weeks. The team travels to Batavia tomorrow to participate in the Batavia Relays and next Friday night the McHenry Relays will be held at McCracken Field. , To give more fans an opportunity to see the Relays and athletic department at McHenry high, under the direction of Bill Blankenhorn the Athletic director, has switched from Saturday morning to a Friday night meet. I'm sure all of you track fans will appreciate this gesture. If you like good high school competition, I suggest you set aside next Friday night, and come around to McCracken field for the meet. You won't be sorry. Prelims in the field events will start around 5 o'clock and the finals will get under way around 7. More about this in Wednesday's edition. The National Alliance Football committee has made spearing a disqualifying foul effective for the 1975 season. Spearing is defined as deliberately and maliciously driving the helmet into a player who is down, or is held so that he is going down or his forward progress is stopped, or who is obviously out of the play. I agree with this 100 percent. Any coach who teaches spearing should be barred from coaching. In the past there have been quite a few injuries resulting from spearing, and this type of action has no place in high school athletics. Deaths FRANK J. HOPPE Frank J. Hoppe. 58, 3308 W.

Hospital, Kiwanians Hold "J Quit" Smoking Clinic The American Cancer society's "I Quit" Smoking clinic will be presented May 5-9 by McHenry hospital and the McHenry Kiwanis club, in cooperation with the McHenry unit of the American Cancer society. An intensive five-day course designed to help smokers to discontinue the smoking habit, the clinic will present daily sessions of motivation, in­ struction and support. Lec­ tures, films and literature will comprise the programs, which will be presented Monday through Friday, May 5-9, from 7:45 p.m. until 9:15 p.m. at McHenry hospital. "We are enlisting the aid of Jhree physicians, a psychiatrist, a therapeutic dietitian, and the educational director of the Illinois division of the American Cancer Society," announced Tom Miller, co-chairman of the event. "The Kiwanis club recognizes the importance of helping the really motivated man or woman to 'kick the smoking habit' through the support and encouragement of all resources in the community and in the family. For this reason, we are happy to co- sponsor this clinic." •; More than 100,000 American men and women are now suffering from lung cancer, according to the American Cancer society. During this year, another 91,000 will be stricken with this disease, and 81,000 will die of lung cancer. It is to combat this high in­ cidence of lung cancer that the American Cancer society has designed the "I Quit" Smoking clinic. "If you are a smoker who is sincerely interested in drop­ ping the habit, you are asked to register for the "I Quit" Smoking clinic," said Joan Arden, co-chairman. "You may write to the Public Information department at McHenry hospital or telephone the hospital and ask for the Public Information chairman. We need advance registration and a real commitment from interested men and women." Although ex-smokers in the United States now number about 30 million, the rate of stopping the habit has slowed, according to Mrs. Frank Gregory, public education chairman of the American Cancer society. "The 'I Quit' Smoking clinic offers instruction, motivation and companionship to the person who is concerned about quitting," Mrs. Gregory said. "One of the nightly sessions is a Family night, which will help the smokers' families to be supportive; another feature! will be lectures by surgeons, psychiatrist, and hints on maintaining a sensible diet by a therapeutic dietitian." i e ?

Civil Defense Prepares For April Emergencies PAGE 7 - PLAINDFALER-FRIDAY, APRIL 18- 1975 Service News April has been designated as Disaster Preparedness month by Governor Dan Walker. The McHenry County Civil Defense, under the direction of John J. Shay of McHenry, is making an all-out effort to review the e m e r g e n c y r e a d i n e s s capability of McHenry' county during this month. » Director Shay points out that, "It is the responsibility of the county to prepare for the first massive onslaughter of a disaster. Our community stands alone during those first frightful hours of a major emergency. Other com­ munities surrounding us may also be hit by a major disaster and we might not be able to count on them for assistance. It is during this initial period of time when the good training, the good communications and the good disaster plans pay off damage to over 5.000 homes, ninety-four businesses and over 150 farm buildings destroyed. The Fox river in McHenry county overflowed its banks^ leaving hundreds homeless in February and March of 1974. t Damage was in the millions and culminated with ,a- declaration of McHenry county as a disaster area by President' * Nixon. Become familiar with your local Civil Defense organization and the disaster plans for your community. This will help increase .the e m e r g e n c y r e a d i n e s s capability of McHenry county. Shay said he is most grateful for the help rendered by the 200 Civil Defense volunteers in McHenry county and also noted that the program could not ,continue without the support and encouragement of the McHenry County board/" Shay- citizen dangers of floods, severe storms, high winds and tor­ nadoes.

Not only will con­ tributions be more sparse, but request for aid will increase. This year your help will be more than ever needed and appreciated. Nearly half of the money contributed remains in the local chapter, for servicing individual cases that occcur in McHenry county. The remaining money is used for disaster relief, such as the earthquake in Alaska, or to move closer to home, the tornado that struck Crystal Lake in 1965. The National Red Cross moved in at that time and spent nearly $50,000 in im­ mediate aid in the form of food, clothing, medical help, and temporary housing, etc. *' The local area, includes the city of McHenry, Sunnyside, Holiday Hills, Johnsburg, Lakemoor, McCullom Lake, and the other communities in this corner of the county. This area, per population, has been one of the highest in the number of cases serviced, but one of the lower in contributions. A door-to-door campaign is not being considered since most people will be canvassed by mail.
