%*£> GOTCHA! MIKE PLAYED COLLEGE BALL AT OHIO STATE. TURN ONS YOU THINK IT IS BETTER TO GIVE THAN TO LEND? SURE. IT USUALLY COSTS THE SAME. WITH NO HARD FEELINGS. We can't afford to lose those good White Sox fans like Ann Rodenkirch. Maybe she can intercede for us up there in heaven. You can bet she will give it a try. A great gal was Ann. THE BEST THING TO GIVE... The best thing to give your enemy is forgiveness: --to an opponent, tolerance: --to a friend, your ear: --to your child, good example; --to a father, reverence; --to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; --to yourself, respect; --to all men, charity. Ben Franklin DON'T LOOK BACK... Go very lightly on the vices such as carrying on in society -- this social ramble, ain't restful. Avoid running at all times. Don't look back. Something may be gaining, on you. Satchel Paige McHeniy Country Club By John Bussener Giving 11 strokes to Joe Sikes was too much of a handicap for Ed (Ace) Oja to overcome and as a result Joe defeated Ed in the finals of Flight E in the President's Tournament played at the club on Sunday, July 24. In the semi-finals of the President's Tournament, in Flight A, Chuck Lynch defeated Bill Gutzmer and Tim Martin beat John Wright. Chuck and Tim played steady golf shooting in the 70s while Bill and John seemingly couldn't do anything right. Flight B winners were Ben Chelini over Mo Domoto, and Geo. Johnson over Dick Tur­ ner. This promises to be a good final match between Ben and George as both play well under pressure. In Flight C Tom Barton defeated Jack Smithson on the 19th hole. Jack had the match all but won, but Tom won the last two holes to send the contest into extra holes. Norm Simon beat Harold Young and K. Waberzeck defeated Harold Beardsley in Flight D. The finals in all matches will be played at the club on Sunday, Aug. 1. TROPHY & MEDAL WINNERS Open Division 1. John Mclnerney, McHenry - 38:07. 2. John Enright, Crystal Lake - 38:30. 3.

The week-long camp stressed the fundamentals and in­ termediate skills necessary for competitive volleyball. Practice sessions were held tl jughout the day and evening in the WIU Women's Athletic facility, Brophy Hall. Interest in girls high school volleyball competition took an upswing during the 1975-76 season when the Illinois High School Association held state cham­ pionship competition for girls volleyball for the first time. The Girls Volleyball Camp was among several camps for youth sponsored throughout the summer at WIU.

L "Service Tip of the Week" I wish to thank the many people who wrote me personally about their auto­ motive problems. And at this time en­ courage those people who have had service problems since my last column to please forward a letter to my attention. Automotive service is a routine. Once an individual becomes aware of the dan­ gers and expense of the "Once every two year tune-up" or the "6,000 mile oil change", he or she demands regula^ safety checks. Don't let summer fun over­ shadow common sense. Check your car's internal system today. IT0RKELS0N LINCOLN-MERCURY W.

Hombre got into trouble when a rattlesnake spooked him and he fell off a cliff. Humane officers called in a Navy helicopter to airlift him off the cliff and he suffered another fall in the attempt. The horse suffered eye and nose in­ juries, swollen legs and cuts from the falls, but no broken bones.

Not much to report, but can say they show up on wash day - - right over the clothesline. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Aeverman told us last week that they attract every species from little wrens to beautiful cardinals. Any eagles, Walter? There is talk of a rematch since the Firemen clobbered the Bimbo Softball team 19 to 5. Wouldn't be surprised to see some ringers in the Bimbo lineup. It has been very gratifying to hear from some good people of our community following our mention that the time is now for anybody who wishes to con­ tribute to the McHenry Library. The library struggled and grew for many years through work and assistance from many people. Card parties and ice cream socials were a part of early efforts. Gifts from $2 to $2,500 saved the taxpayers. Those amounts were given when a dollar was a dollar. Today you could multiply them by four. When the first addition was contemplated, the McHenry Rotary Club volunteered to raise ten thousand dollars. John Looze spearheaded the drive and said the goal would be reached in ten days. (Most of us thought he was dreaming). In one week the goal was reached. Many have contributed since and their names will be entered in a permanent record. It is hard to imagine the amount of work the library staff has been faced with in getting ready for the opening of the "new" library. Our comments will not in­ fringe on a complete report Editor "Brenda" will have before open house is an­ nounced. Want you to know that it isn't too late to do something for your library. Would also like you to know that our dream of a room for historical items of the McHenry area has been provided. If you have books, papers or pictures you would like to donate to this section of the library, don't delay. There aren't too many residents left who remember early McHenry. The records should be preserved for future generations. Mona is back at her old stamping grounds at the Green Pearl, smiling through after a serious injury.
