JUST ASK I.N' HELLO JUST ASKJV: Oh, I don't believe fishermen intention­ ally lie. They just expand the truth a tad or two. DEAR TOM: "I notice in your literature you tell how to make a lure run a true line. Why can't you make all lures run on cen­ ter?" CURIOUS CAL HELLO CURIOUS: It s called "the human element." No one is perfect, not even lure assemblers, but they do coine close. Just bend the linetie the way you want the lure to run, thassall. HEY TOM: "Do you prefer a hone for keeping an edge on a fisli knife, or a butcher's steel?" KARL KEENE HELLO KARL: When you first net that fish knife, hone the edge. After that, a butcher's steel is great for quickly sharpening it while cleaning fish. DEAR TOM: "I read where keeping worms in an old sock would keep them lively, but I can't stand the sound of their gagging. What's wrong?" BRO­ THER JOSEPH HELLO JOE: I don't know whose sock you used but I'd sug­ gest they change socks more often. P*R*DE-- The human pyramid is one of the most photographed acts in water skiing.

It looked like everybody came out of the woods to gather at the Club for food, the wee drop and good fellowship.We liked it. Herb Reihansperger has been so frustrated with his Cubs that h&wrote a letter to General Manager Bob Kennedy to tell him a thing or two about running a ball club What Herb didn't count on was that he was writing to a tough Irishmen. Kenney replied with no holds barred. Write to Bill Veeck next time, Herb. I have been busy inspecting the work of two great gar­ deners in our neighborhood. Mrs. Hanford has the greenest thumb around. Her flowers and vegetables are a joy to behold. In the other direction we found Lillian Cairns doing her best to follow the footsteps of her mother, Mrs. Unti. Lillian is doing just fine, but it will take years to reach the heights her mother displayed. She was a great one. Forgot to invite those girls back to see our rhubarb and asparagus beds. They come back each year as the Lord and Alvina get all the credit. OVERHEARD "I can see why it is good to have two hands and two feet -- but why do some people have two faces?" A special blessing goes to those who make sweaters and shirts without pockets. Do they expect men to carry handbags? Sorry we don't have names of McHenry Junior High students who performed so ably iq the recent track meet at Cary. The grapevine tells tit that Sis Pinkstaff won first place in the discus event with a distance of 89-2. She also put the shot 30.10 feet. That's mighty good. Wow! Just imagine what Sis will do when she gets her full growth. Rich Sullivan, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Sullivan's son, is a 10 year old Little Leaguer who thinks a big league career would rate right next to heaven. Rich and I met one time a while back -- and what do you know -- he remembered me. Told him he made my day. Replays show up some of the big time hold-out umpires as being less than perfect. It may knock a person's ego for a loop, but nobody is so perfect or important that he or she can't be replaced. Bimbo's was no place for a White Sox fan Sunday night after the Cubs won and the Sox lost. The first Cub fan we met was Mrs. John Stangarone. She's an OK gal, but some of the others! Thinkgs looked up after the Dick Smiths came in. Dick is a Sox fan from way back -- way back to the days of Ted Lyons, "Red" Faber, Bib Falk and the likes. He may have been at a tender age, but his judgment was good. Well, it's all in fun -- and who has more fun than Cubs-Sox rivals. SPORTS EDITOR^--. FISHIN' TIPS from . . . Tom Mann HORSE SHOWS 5SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS? Mushroom Care Mushrooms are perishable, so plan on using them within three days of purchase. Mushrooms are best stored unwashed -- and in the container and special wrap in which they are purchased. Rewrapped mushrooms have a tendency to become soft and dark -- especially if washed first and tightly encased in plastic or other nonporous wrap which permits minimum air circulation. BASEBALL * * • By Pete Fritchie WASHINGTON, D. C. -- How does Gene Mauch do it? As this is written he has the Minnesota Twins on top in the western division of the American League. Year after year, with limited funds and nothing more than a keen in­ telligence and insight about players, he gets amazing results. Of course, it probably can't last but it's almost a miracle how Mauch year after year has a contender-and he manages for Cal Griffith, who can't af­ ford the salaries and bonuses of richer clubs. * The Oakland A's, under Charlie Finley's revolving manager system, also come up surprisingly competitive, at least for the first part of the season. Last year they were near the top for a long spell-a near miracle. In the national League, Montreal is coming on under Dick Williams and Chicago is again surprisingly potent. The Phils seem on their way, nevertheless, and the Dodgers now appear to be getting it all together. So it might be, after all, another World Series with the Yankes, but this time against the Phils, unless the Red Sox, or amazing O's, or Milwaukee derail New York's express. • • * * One tragedy of a col­ lege education is that many graduates won't know what to do for a livelihood after com­ mencement. BACK TO WORK... After nearly two centuries, the gristmill of Squire Boone, brother of Daniel Boone, will again grind corn meal.

Mr There were 9.4 boater deaths * for every 100,000 boats in 1978, ompared to a fatality rate of i.6 in 1977, the previous lowest j^rate. flp' However, total deaths in ('boating accidents increased by ynine last year. In all, 1321 * boaters died in 1978, up from 2<U)e 1.312 who died in boating • mishaps in 1977. This increase ^piay be partly attributable to r^he 450,000 more boats -estimated to be on the water- £*ways in 1978 than in 1977. Some 8,576 boats were in- r'volved in 6,529 reported boating ' accidents throughout the ^•United States. In addition to the • fatalities. 1,761 people were LAKE REGION YMCA NEWS injured and $12,301,200 worth of property damage resulted from these accidents. The injury figure is lower than that recorded for 1977, but the amount of property damage is the highest on record, the Coast Guard said. Sesame Burgers For an interesting burger, try sesame burgers on bread. Com­ bine one-half pound lean ground beef, one-half teaspoon salt, one- eighth teaspoon chili powder and two tablespoons of sesame seeds in a small bowl. Spread the meat mixture evenly over six slices of bread. Broil four inches from heat until the meat is brown; garnish with snipped fresh par­ sley.
