With the sun shining so brightly one would have thought great golf scores would have been turned in on Tuesday the 8th as the women of McHenry Country Club con­ tinued to ease into the season. Such was not the case, however, due to the continued heavy gusting of the wind. Only one birdie was registered, that of Mil Leisten on no. 16 and two chip-ins - Nell Fidler on no. 10 and Letty Busscher on no. 11. The wind caused many unusual incidents as reported by some of the gals. Bea Pond's putt moved on its own volition on the fourth green, Kitty Ballstaedt's drive on no. 9 landed high up in the bushes (she was accused of hunting for robins' eggs) many of the fairway shots were redirected into sandtraps. Jane Weiss' drive on no. 17 got caught in a gust to land under the firs where she had to backhand it out with her putter. For a moment her com­ panions thought she was in a pool game when Alvina Yopp's shot on no. 16 caught a tree, caromed off to hit a cart and then another tree- never did hear the result of that par­ ticular hole although A1 shot a ^respectable 92 for the entire 18 holes. Good Samaritan Mabel Smith missed the creek by inches as she fell helping her playmates recover a ball. The mystery of the week is why Ann Blaney was seen walking around with a shoehorn sticking out from her left heel. Hopefully, next week will bring better results. 'Til then Happy Golfing! Liz Johnsburg Soft- Ball Girls Beat South Beloit Junior girls' softball ace, Debbie Herdrich, hurled the Johnsburg Skyhawk club to a 12-9 victory over South Beloit Saturday in a Shark Conference game. Kim Grenman smashed three hits in four times at bat for Johnsburg, and Barb Schmitt hit two for five. The girls' softball squad travels to Harvard on Tuesday Pitch, Hit And Run Event Starts Sunday Tod iwice This Sunday at nine in the morning will find a number of nine and ten year old boys and girls gathering in Peterson Park to compete in the annual Pitch, Hit and Run national competition which is in cooperation with the President's Council on Physical Fitness. Under the guidance of some of our local youth leaders these youngsters will be exhibiting their skills in run­ ning a base line and hitting and pitching a ball. The event is open to all youth in the area ages eight and nine with registration remaining open through Saturday, May 12.

This seminar is offered to all church per­ sonnel and families including children sixth grade and up.

Changes in the Social Security law which increased the tax for wage earners on January 1st left the rate for the self- employed unchanged. Nevertheless, self-employ­ ed people pay a higher tax than wage earners. The self-employed were brought into the program in 1951 and started paying 4.25% on the first $3,600 (or $81.). That same year a worker for wages paid $54. on the amount earned. This year, the tax for wage earners went from 6.05% to 6.13% and the taxable amount from $17,000 to $22,900. The rate for self-employed is 8.1%, the same as in 1978. By 1982, it will be 9.35% as compared with 6.7% for the wage earner. The self-employed also must make quarterly payments on estimated annual earnings. If you need to establish an ac­ count for deposits toward meeting your quarterly payments, see any of our officers. When they advise you on saving toward fut' needs . . . you can B/ i it': deprogramming methods. A slide presentation will be of­ fered and a young person formerly involved in a cult and deprogrammed will share his experiences. Lunch will be served at 12:45 p.m., followed by the program from 2 to 5 p.m. Participants may attend both or may attend the program only. For details call Rev. Gene Lackore at Lakeside center in Crystal Lake, phone 455-3363. K Of C Holds Annual Meeting Illinois Knights of Columbus will meet in Springfield-at the Holiday Inn East May 18-20 for what is believed to be the largest out-of-Chicago annual meeting in 82 years. In 'addition to a record number of delegates and their families at the convention, reports will be made an­ nouncing that the Illinois Mentally Retarded drive the K of C staged last fall raised in excess of $750,000; the Newman program. which assists Newman centers on secular campuses throughout Illinois, will exceed $100,000; and the Disaster fund, one that provides emergency funds to churches, school or hospitals damaged by fire of flood-all have set new records. Reflect that life, like every other blessing, Derives its value from its use alone. -Samuel Johnson. FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken frome files of May 9, 1929) The board of local im­ provements held a special meeting at the city hall for the purpose of letting the contract for the completion of the necessary sewer repairs and the installation of the new type of sewer lift pumps to the Jolin Ward Co. of America. A portion of this work is already, com­ pleted by the company and it is expected to complete the work very shortly, the cost is to be little less than $10,000. The laying of the slab from the railroad tracks to Spencer s mill was completed and it won't be long now until the required time for drying has expired and McHenry will have another cement thoroughfare. The street has always been rough and, no doubt, the new pavement will be appreciated. M. H. Merrick had the contract. Those Irish - lads from McHenry simply used the steam roller to crush those Northern Irish bowlers when •he home boys rolled 2,724 to 2,625 for the Harvard lads. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 18, 1939) The City Council met for the purpose of opening bids for the construction of a new water­ works pumping station. The Tonyan Construction company, lone bidder, was awarded the contract, the proposal calling for $1,350. The new gravel packed well was built last year and he foundation for the new structure was completed by the Artificial Stone company. During the last week, the American Well Works installed the new pump. The summer playground under the direction of L.J. McCracken will again be sponsored by the City Council and the Board of Education. Last summer was the first time such an activity was at­ tempted and it proved to be very successful and popular with the children of McHenry. As last year, there will be beach supervision when the weather and water are suitable, as well as the regular playground activities carried on at the high school playground. TWENTY-FIVE YEARSAGO (Taken from the files of May 13. 1954) This is clean-up week in McHenry and it is hoped that all property owners and tenants are rolling up their sleeves to do their part in giving their property in par­ ticular and the city in general an attractive appearance. The purpose of designating this annual clean-up time is not only to improve appearances but also to improve living con­ ditions and health standards. Mayor George P. Freund received the first poppy in McHenry prior to Poppy Day, May 22. The 1954 baseball season got under way for the county league in spite of unfavorable weather. On the McHenry diamond the home team came from behind with a 6-run blast in the eighth to beat the Johnsburg Tigers 11 to 9. Mrs. Eva V. Freund has been notified of her appoontment as postmaster at Spring Grove by Arthur Summerfield post­ master general of Washington, DC. Mrs. Freund has been serving as acting postmaster there since May 17, 1953. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 9. 1969) The spring clean-up program of trash and litter on township roads is nearing completion. Over 300 hours in labor was spent to accomplish the .job, costing taxpayer many hundre­ ds of dollars. A few roads required extra attention, with employees engaged in the clean-up at four different times in the same areas. Township Road Commissioner Clarence Regner suggested that in the interest of saving taxpayer dollars, as well as promoting a more beautiful countryside, everyone should be alert to violations while driving. At * the City Council meeting Sibre Whiting ad­ dressed the Council with a re­ quest to1 improve Center st­ reet with curb and gutter con­ struction, pointing out the drainage problem as the street now exists. It was stated that the condition has been recognized for years, but correcting the drainage was not possible until the recent in­ stallation of storm sewers on John street, James street and Kane avenue. It was agreed to proceed with preliminary engineering on the proposed project and to secure estimates of cost. • » • • No one agrees when you say that he (or she) has a soft job, with good pay.
