The State of Illinois has a crime study going, but somebody got real sharp after spending ONLY $461,000. They held up payment of $767,000. Now, aren't we the lucky ones? The officials didn't think the study had been made. Jhat's big money. It would go a - long way in solving our educational problems. -- ^Without further study, let's just say there IS crime in Illinois. Everybody says so. i ;And the real crime is in spending that money for a stfcdy to find out. i .... » Maybe we should start an i vestigation to discover what t e State of Indiana has that linois doesn't have. ---Or why do our star high sfthool basketball players step -SPORTS EDITORJ across the border when it is time to go to college? Somewhere along life's way, somebody made us understand how much 100 dollars meant. Time passed and talk of thousands became more common. Now, the news stories tell us of millions and doggone if we know what that means. All we know it that a lady broadcaster is going to get a million a year for five years. She ought to get along on that without food stamps if they throw in fringe benefits. Sometimes we don't believe what we read (or write for that matter), but the story is that a baseball player is holding out for five million for three years work.

Point" out the advantages of being a good athlete. The pay is so much better. Ed and Irene Wittrock send a message from St. Simon's Island off the coast of Georgia. Ed says he stopped off for the opening game of that "North Side Bunch" and ran into Herb Reihansperger. He looked all over for Yours Truly. Thinks we watched the game on T V. at Bimbo's. When the Cubs blew a 13 to 2 lead and then lost 18 to 16 in another game, Ed thought it best to get out of town. Down on the Island and away from it all, they found an old McHenryite, Fred Mueller and his wife Helen, have a room next to theirs. Fred told them he went to school with Adele Froehlich and the late "Huppy" Smith and graduated from MCHS in *30. 1930? That can't be our "Brenda". They must have had quite a visit.
