I PAGE 4 - PLAIN DEALER - WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 13.1W2 "EARL WALSH So I Hear It isn't so good inside either. Electricity is off and the house is getting cold. Started a fire in the fireplace. It helps, but not enough with the temperature way below zero. iperature HcCullom Lake Dawn Miller 385 4901 As part of several brilliant conversations at White Sox headquarters (Fox Hole) a difference of opinion came to light as to how many games the White Sox won in the 1959 World Series. Somebody also questioned who represented the National League in that series. It was the Los Angeles Dodgers. Seems we should be saying the Brooklyn Dodgers. I saw the first game in which the Sox mauled the Dodgers 11 to 0 and thought the series would be a breeze. Los Angeles won the second game 4-3, the third 3- 1, and the fourth 5-4. Chicago hopes rose when the Sox won the fifth game 1- 0. Then the roof fell in and the L A team beat the Sox 9- 3. So. The Sox won two games in the series. Of course, I remembered all those scores (after looking' into the records). i At the table next to us sat a young couple who have lived in the Johns burg area about a year and a half. He knew the statistics and wanted to info the betting. There wasn't any betting. Just talk. I forgot to write down that young man's name. Hope to meet him again. He had a question about an old foot­ ball team's name. Must look up the list of all the things I planned to do right after the first of the year. Nobody realizes all the sacrifices our city officials have to make. For instance - Aldermen Harker and Datz will miss the Johnsburg baseball banquet because of a council meeting the same night. It is Sunday and one helluva day outside with snow blowing in every direction. It is hard to get out a column in darkness. Oh, well! Abraham Lin­ coln did real well by can­ dlelight. Maybe a fellow ought to put some anti-freeze (like Irish mist) in his stomach to ward off a chill. Alvina brought out a Ikerosene lamp so it seems like the good old days. We do miss the television, but a battery radio comes to the rescue. Just heard that all the roads in McHenry County are closed. That should bring out the snowmobiles. Our good friend Julie Kraus sent in her sub­ scription renewal with kind words for this column. However, she lets us know she is a Cub fan and has been all her life. I won't hold that against her. And Teeth „ One way to save face is to keep the lower half shut. -News, Toronto. as Colutnnist Reminisces This week marks my one- year anniversary for writing this column. I hope you have enjoyed reading it as much I nave enjoyed writing it hings happened this t year.

CONSUMER VCHECKUST FIFTY YEARS AGO , ((Taken from the flies of Janaury 21, 1932) At the tenth annual meeting of McHenry Country club, all the officers were reelected: President Richard B.

FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the flies of January 22, 1942) The band and orchestra from the local high school took up a collection before the holidays and sent it as a gift to the band at Boys Town, Nebraska, together with a picture of both of the« organizations. In return they received a beautiful picture of the Boys Town band, a grateful letter from Father Flannigan founder of this novel institution, which is a n o n - s e c t a r i a n , n o n - proselyting home for abandoned, homeless boys regardless of race or creed.

Block his an­ nounced plans to implement P r e s i d e n t R e a g a n ' s authorization of the release of 30 million pounds\of cheese to states for distribution to non-profit organizations for households in need. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition service regional offices will respond to state requests for commodities through state distribution agents who customarily handle commodities for schools and institutions. "The Food and Nutrition Service distribution network for commodity programs will be used to the maximum extent possible," Block said. T h e A g r i c u l t u r a l Stabilization and Con­ servation Service will ship the cheese in trucks or railroad car lots to central locations serving as delivery points. Charitable, non-profit organizations, including food banks, will make the cheese available at the local level. Churches and other non­ profit groups customarily operate food banks. Agencies will be eligible to participate in the cheese distribution program if they have adequate storage facilities and record-keeping ability as determined by the states. The Food and Nutrition Service has also im­ plemented distribution of cheese and other bonus dairy commodities, non-fat dry milk and butter, to the Title 3 elderly program and child care facilities as called for in the farm bill signed by President Reagan Jan. 6.
