All of the funds generated by the Increase would go into the Illinois State Fish and Game Fund to be used exclusively to improve and expand hunting and fishing in the State of Illinois. • "The Illinois Department of Conservation, long the step­ child within the Illinois governmental structure, has strongly supported a reasonable increase in the fishing and hunting licenses in the State of Illinois. The Director of the Department, David Kenney, has spelled out in great detail where the funds from the increased licenses will be expended. Fishermen and hunters throughout the State of Illinois will see the benefits generated by this anticipated $3.5 million of new money. One of the major projects ear­ marked for part of the funds will be for the construction of a new warm water and cold water fish hatchery near Virginia, Illinois. Other an­ ticipated projects are the planting of pheasants throughout the state, the ex­ pansion of wildlife and watershed management programs, as well as the planting of fish throughout the state," Rep. Griesheimer explained. The increased license fees will not affect senior citizens EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR Rick Talley, noted sports columnist, was the speaker at the last Rotary Club meeting arid showed that he has a vast knowledge of the goings-on in the world of sports. Bob O'Neal had him primed to toss a shot at me so Rick came out with, "The White Sox may be the worst team in baseball". That made a lot of people happy. Nobody could have been more pleased than Bob Blake. Maybe Rick was right, but wait until September. If things don't change by then, some of us are in for a bad time. Bob Adams, who was deeply pained at Talley's appraisal of the Sox, wants a return engagement when things turn around. The heavy artillery will be in action. Have to agree with Rick that Chicago doesn't have much to crow about in the way of sports. Besides the Sox, he men­ tioned the Cubs (Dave Kingman' in particular), the Bears, the Bulls, and the Sting soccer team. It is about time for a city of the size of Chicago to develop a champion. If really was a short summer. Alvina just showed me a full page of fall fashions for the gals. Always blamed Paris for the goofy and extreme styles. Now they say New York is telling us what to wear. Our mama duck has hatched her little ones. Would you believe -- eleven of them in one nest? The old girl didn't waste any time in waddling toward the river with her flock trailing close behind. ^ Have been wanting to watch our Warrior baseball team in action, but the weatherman has knocked me out of the box every time plans were set. So -- our calendar was marked for last Saturday's scheduled doubleheader at McCracken Field. The rains came! Will have to check with Dick Rabbitt to see how the schedule is now set up. From the record, Coach Ken Swanson must have a real good team this year. If we were putting a baseball team together and considering a first baseman, Cecil Cooper of the Milwaukee Brewers would get a second look. He's classy around the sack and handles bad throws like a magician. Milwaukee deserves a good ball team and it looks like they have a winner in the making. Those players hustle on the field and go up to bat with obvious eagerness. ^ The sun didn't shine for Mothers Day, but nothing can dampen the spirit of the day. To those whose mothers are living let me urge that you never forget that there is no greater word in our language than mother. Fathers' Day will never reach that high pitch, but the time has come for us to do a little promoting.
