LAKC ruriLtA ** UiC(V Aw*- " f - *- v v "EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR--J Haven't found anybody ex­ cept George Harker who believes our stories about how much work we do around the house. (And we're not so darned sure about him!) Now comes Mrs. Ben "Aunt Rosie" Tonyan to say she believes our story. She thinks we look tired and thin-- expecially around the chops. Always did like that girl. Turned around to see it was Paul Brefeld hollering, "I see you have a new hat". Explained to him we have two kinds, old and older. This one was just old. Among the important mail we received was a letter ad­ vising it isn't too late to change our life style. And for only a little over a hundred bucks they will tell us how. Now, there's a real offer! Jim Curran phoned to tell us we guessed wrong about his previous call. He just brought a message from the Court House that A1 Jourdan finally came out of the basement after suffering through a dismal season with the White Sox. Huh! We don't believe it. A1 is a White Sox pal of ours. There is always a next year for us. Tom and Kathryn Bolger hive a small grandson who shows a liking for football games. He liked the Cleveland JJrowns. When asked what game he would like to watch, his reply was, "A Brown Bear game". Most kids like a brown bear. Pulling up to the Illinois Bell building in Woodstock Thur­ sday night we saw a block long crowd waiting to see the open house tour of the building. Greeting the crowd was none other than Stan Joswiak looking sharp in a "store bought" new suit. The maze of wires, cables and equipment was too much for our comprehension, but the equipment and workings of the business office was intriguing. Made us realize how much engineering and planning it takes to make our bell ring. Hospitality was in the air. The Zion Zee-Bees football team won the top spot in the North Suburban Conference, then handled a strong Grant (Fox Lake) team with plenty to spare. Grant was the best in the Northwest Suburban loop. Zion then moved on to"* Naperville of the DuPage Valley Conference and didn't have much chance in a 24-14 playoff game. Zion's win over the highly touted Grant team made us realize how tough the North Suburban really is. But, the farther you go in the quest of the state championship the tougher the road. Enjoyed Father Hanner's article on his wanderings through the animal and bird kingdom section of Whispering Oaks. His mention that geese may be attracted to the area brought back memories. When the Raycrafts lived on the Hanley- Kelter farm before it was subdivided, Jerry's Dad (the late Jim Raycraft) invited our family out one evening to watch the geese come in. We had to sprawl in the tall grass a safe distance away and wait. Suddenly hundreds and hundreds more of those big geese swooped down to feed and bed down for the night. It was little Horicon right in our own back yard. A note from "A Reader" recalls some famous sayings: "But, what have you done for me lately?" 'You pay the whole thing. We'll pay you." "For peace of mind, be honest." "If you don't have a sense of humor, you are in trouble in this world." "He who would give advice must also listen." "If you think you are always right, think." "Honor thy father and mother, but not the check a stranger wants you to cash." 1. A flooded engine can be started by 1. Draining the carburetor 2. Shutting off the fuel tank valve 3. Shutting off the ignition. 4. Turning the engine over a few times with gas throttle wide open. 2. If your inboard gas engine skips at high speed, most likely the distributor points are 1. Spaced too wide. 2. Spaced too close. 3. Stuck together. 4. Stuck open. 3. If your outboard engine has excessive vibration and seems to turn over hard when cranked, which of the followling would look for? 1. Missing spark plug. 2. Loose flywheel. 3. Bent or fouled propeller. 4. Any of the above. ANSWERS 1. No. 4 2. No. 1 3. No. 4 Trailers--Know local trailering laws. Each state has its own trailering laws regarding brakes, safety chains, stop lights, turn signals, etc. You should provide some kind of trailer lighting because you cannot always be sure you won't be doing any night driving. Before you start. Check safety chains, lights, brakes, license, tire inflation, tie-downs, hitch. MONTINI STUDENTS BIKE TO HELP A FRIEND On Saturday, October 25th, seventy-seven Montini Middle School students were involved in a Respect Life Bike-a-thon for a fellow student who is quite ill. The Bike-a-thon was a project sponsored by Miss Janega'a 8th grade religion class. It reflected the theme of the Catholic Church's desire to show special concern for the lives of those in need during the Respect Life month of October. With a recognition of their friend's needs during his illness, the 8-1 religion class initiated a plan to help their friend eliminate some of the expenses of his costly illness. With permission from the city Council, the 8th graders plotted a one mile figure 8 behind Montini Middle School. Concern, brotherhood and en­ thusiasm were the qualities exhibited as the bikers pedaled to help their friend in need. As students counted the miles, and spotted for cars, the bikers rode from 9:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. in the crisp autumn air. The results were far beyond .what was expected. For this, we thank the students involved and their sponsors.

Youth Team Bows To "Middle Age Spread" Crew Twenty-two turned out for a vigorous football game Saturday afternoon, as the youth extended a challenge to the adults at The Alliance church in McHenry.

Plans were made for several forthcoming events and activities, including an over­ night youth rally jn Lombard, Nov. 21-22.
