Money raised will go to a new memorial fund for those killed or still missing in Vietnam. Pledges can be made at the local Legion post or by calling a toll free number: 1-600-426-4400. In earlier years, it commonly called Decoration Day. tt was a day set aside to decorate graves, mostly of deceased relatives. Wars changed the picture. As more wars came and more men gave their lives for their country, the name Memorial Day came into general use. Today relatives are not forgotten as people visit cemeteries to place flowers on graves. Nor are our war dead forgotten as parades, decorations and oratory are the order of the day. Sometimes I repeat. Must have told you how the City Council walked in' parades, leaving the high school East Campus at a brisk pace and bogging down as we climbed the hill in the Green St. business area. After the committee put us back further each year in the parade until we marched behind the horses, the late Mayor Overton decided we should ride in cars. The day is a holiday for many, but it rightfully a day of observance for those who remember. Before our lawmakers changed the day from May 30, kids looked forward to it as the day when school "let out". You can well remember them whooping it up when kids ran like young colts when "freed" from school. It was a day to take off your shoes and go barefoot for three months. Small towns didn't have hot, paved streets to burn your feet. _ Three months seemed like a long time, but It hurried past all too rapidly. We hadn't heard of organized sport so kids planned their own recreation. Choose-up or work-up ball games were a big part of the program. Rules were made up as the game progressed and many a battle broke out.

It would seem fitting to take a short time out of the day to join our veterans in remembering those who died that our country might live. Several Cub fans, like Dan Justen, keep reminding me that I haven't mentioned the horrible fate of their team. Nobody from the Cub front office has asked my advice. If they had, I would suggest bringing up their entire farm club from Iowa and sending the present team out where the tall corn grows. Of course, when the White Sox lost a couple of games, Dan let me know I hadn't mentioned my team either. No .panic button. I expect them to lose a game once in a while / -- "9 When Texas came to town the Sox sluggers plugged the holes in their bats and hit the ball all over the lot.

'Though the morning temperatures registered a decided chill, Tuesday provided blue skies and sunshine as the gals at McHenry Country Club held a one-day Tennessee Dog Fight event. Team No. 2, captained by Carol Coopey, with Eunice Hatch, Gloria Spiess and Mary Lee Thompson, captured first place with a score of 80. Tied for second place with a score of 83 each were teams No. 8 and No. 5. They were Virginia Turner, Micki Becker. Maddy Holmesr Gloria Otth and Alvina Yopp; and Barb Weber, Betty Smith, Patty Smith, respectively. Next in line was team No. 6 with captain Lynn Schmidt, Janet Con­ way, Dot Christiensen and Bernice Dolce with a score of 85. Reports from her team­ mates indicate that captain Cooney wielded a heavy whip over her subjects, forcing them to shoot birdies on No. 3. No. 15 and No. 16. She had corporal Spiess so shaken that said corporal's ball struck the flagstick and dropped on the edge of the cup on No. 8. Then, on No. 14, Irene Kinneman gave her team a birdie all by herself. Hers was the ball used for each shot. Rita Sayler's approach shot on No. 4 dropped smoothly info the cup to give her team a birdie on that hole. Another approach shot on No. 4 was executed by Gloria Otth - a sure helper in giving her team second place. Lynn Schmidt's water problems on No. 10 last week didn't carry over this week, but for one brief moment it appeared that they might. This week her second shot hit the pipe in the water but had so much "oomph" on it that it flew to the top of the hill. Some of these lady golfers have developed just the right touch. Another gal using the right muscles was Mary Mutchinsky, who nearly played No. 10 all by herself. Her first three shots put her team up to the edge of the green, where someone else took over. It is hoped that there isn't going to be a continuing saga PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, MAY 22,1161 Cathy Greer's machine Which promptly tossed our heroine into the air.

Well, this week circumstances were slightly altered and the golf cart struck back.

Tournament play is about all that is left on the schedule Brian Wilson's baseball team is playing at Rockford Jefferson, and if they win will return on Wednesday to meet Rockford Boylan. Mary Osterman's girls softball team finished second in the Fox Valley, and play Marian Central in tourney play this week. Jean Natoli and her badminton team also enter tournament (day this week. Congratulations to Eric Crittenden on qualifying for the state in the discus. He, along with coaches Dan Boland and Joe Schlender, will be heading for Charleston, and here is wishing him luck. Disaster really struck the Warrior track team last week when Aric Akins, star sprinter, was injured in practice. Not only was he the defending district 200 meter champion, but was the anchor on two Warrior relay teams. It had to be a disappointment not only to Aric but to the other three members of the relay team that may have qualified for the stat^ finals. But that is the way it goes in athletics. More injuries occur in practice than in meets or games. Still on the subject of track, the county results are not in as yet, due to the fact that the high wind Monday forced postponement of the pole vault until Tuesday. But according to Dan Boland the Warriors finished third behind Woodstock and Crystal Lake South. I am one of many that is now giving serious thought to abolish the county track meet, or at least bold it earlier in the year. The Fox Valley schools meet one another in dual meets, the conference meet, and in various relays throughout the season. The other county schools do not field complete teams. Richmond sent one freshman, Hebron did not enter, Harvard entered three athletes and Marengo was a little better. Johnsburg did not have a full • squad, and Marian Central kept a lot of its boys home from the meet. Huntley did not enter, so it became a repeat of the conference meet held last week. With the state finals set this week for a few of the athletes, the rest of the group looked as if they wished they were at home. Performances were not outstanding, the boys did not have their heart set on the meet. Tom Boge, the fine Crystal Lake South hurdler who won the district at Rockford in both the high and lows, finished third in the county meet. There are many who will not agree with me on this subject. The county basketball tournament was abolished years ago for almost the same reason. The smaller schools did not have a chance to win, although Richmond came close to defeating Crystal Lake one year. If the powers that be insist that the meet must go on, run the meet earlier in the season before the various conference meets and districts. But with finances the way the are in the schools, can they afford to hold this type of a track meet year after year as a losing proposition? I doubt it. TRUTESS lLUMkM.
