Field events will get under way at 3:30 p.m. while the running events will start at 5 p.m. Little did Don Seaton realize fifteen years ago, when he suggested that McHenry host its own relays, that it would grow from that initial meet of just three teams, Dundee, Cary Grove and the Warriors into one of the finest events in this part of the state. ("The; Relays are popular with coaches, participants and fans alike as it is one of the few relays that many can take part. All field events Have three participants, with the exception of the pole- vault, which has two entries from each school. The only single or individual event in the running events is the open 100 yd. dash. Including the large number that can participate, the relays are popular because they are held at night, competition is keen, and it is probably one of the best organized meets in the state. Rarely has the meet finished more than 10 minutes late, which shows good organization. This year's event has probably the finest field in the 15 year history. Teams are, Belvidere,Crown, Crystal Lake Central and Crystal Lake South, Dundee, Elk Grove, Hoffman Estates, Kaneland, Lake Forest, Lake Park, Marengo, Naperville North, Rochelle, St. Charles, Woodstock and the host McHenrv. Naperville North, St. Charles, Kaneland, Hoffman Estates and Elk Grove are expected to vie for the top spot. If you have never seen a well organized track meet I suggest you attend one tonight at McCracken Field.

Moraine Hills, located three miles south of McHenry on River Road, offers a variety of op­ portunities for fishermen, bank fishing and non- motorized watercraft are allowed on the three Nor­ thern Lakes. Ten rental boats are available for use on Lake Defiance; however, bank fishing is not allowed due to the unstable shoreline surrounding this glacial lake. Bank fishing and boat rental are offered at the McHenry Dam with a 15 h.p limit enforced on motors in this area. Reservations will no longer be taken for boat rental on Lake Defiance. Site superintendent John Sch- swimmers can participate. Family Activity Membership The YMCA offers a family membership and a young family membership which includes regularly scheduled family program activities. The family membership entitles the whole family to participate as a family or individually. Senior Citizen The YMCA is now taking registration for the senior citizens fitness program. The program began on Friday, April 11 from 12:30 to 2 p.m. and will continue each Friday through June 13. This weekly program will include "Aquanatics" or water resistant exercise, national YMCA progressive swim instruction, length swimming for fun and fit­ ness and exercise classes. weder stated that "The decreased demand for boats at Lake Defiance convinced us to eliminate the reser­ vation system and make these boats available on a first-come, first-served basis." Weekend boat rentals at Lake Defiance and the McHenry Dam began April 19 at 7 a.m. with daily concession hours resuming May 1, at 6 a.m. Although water levels dropped several feet in the Northern Lakes during the winter, fish populations were not affected. Conditions will return to normal within several weeks providing fishermen with an excellent excuse to postpone household chores and sample some of the most diverse fishing the area has to offer.

"Drug Abuse-the 'Now' Problem" is open to all and without charge. ^American Viewpoints Area Church To Show Film About Creation The Church of Christ will sponsor a showing of the color film, "The Great Dinosaur Mystery", Sunday night, April 27, at 6 p.m. The church building is located at 401 N. Oak street, in Crystal Lake (one-half block north of Highway 176). "The Great Dinosaur Mystery" presents material which refutes the evolutionists' belief that dinosaurs have been extinct for 70 million years. Quite the contrary, the film shows that dinosaurs were on the earth as recently as 500 years ago and have close relatives still in existence today. This data contradicts the Geologic Time Table, one of the foundation stones of modern evolutionary theory. All residents of the area are invited to attend this showing. • * • • The optimist believes in luck; the pessimist, in fate.
