l» \c;E4-PI A1VDKALER WEDNESDAY. JULY 21.1*2 EARL WALSH-- So I Hear The All-Star game is over, but the memory lingers on. It is so touching to get a card from John Busscher with this on the outside "THINKING OF YOU WITH SYM­ PATHY" Now for the inside: Dear Earl, There is so little I can say to ease the sorrow in your heart today. Have a good day. " Regards, John P S. One more year and the room will be papered This time it was "Schmaltz" who pulled up to the curb to make a few comments as I performed the duties of ground man while Alvina climbed the ladder to clear the eaves. Those dear friends of mine don't seem to realize the responsibilities a ground man has in such projects. It is hold the ladder or call the Rescue Squad In spite of offering a free ticket, Herb Reihansperger couldn't find anybody to go to a Cub game last week No further comment. A real nice note from Mr. and Mrs. Daniel McNamara helps my spirits as time comes to knock out another column. . « Happiness for us is having good friends like Ken and Marie Diedrich come a-callin'. Happiness for them is a baby granddaughter to bless their lives. Saw Gaylord Perry, 43 year old pitcher, on the mound one day and thought he looked more like the Chairman of the Board. It hasn't happened for some time, but lately we are hearing the same old story - "Put that in your column".

Homing Instinct A sea turtle's instinct to return to its birthplace to breed may be triggered by hormones reacting to the amount of sunlight received each day, says a Texas A & M University marine biologist. their feelings about City of McHenry going's on. I refer them to the Plaindealer Public Pulse section. Papers won't mess with libelous letters, but good old-fashioned gripes are printed. It seems too early, but names of prospective candidates are being tossed around all the way from the federal level down. Nobody has more fun than people! GRANDMA S SAYINGS: "If you would use your head instead of your heels, you would get farther". And, in telling somebody off - "Put that in your pipe and smoke it". We were asked, "What did you do before you had air-conditioning0 " We opened windows and hoped to catch a cool breeze. Sometimes sleeping upstairs was so unbearably hot we took our pillow, went downstairs and slept on the floor near a window. - Didn't know what an electric fan was in younger days. If you could afford a good one in later years, the air was stirred around even if it was hot air. When a few restaurants put air- conditioned signs in windows, it was a real attraction. The first air conditioning I ever encountered was during a walk from the Chicago loop to the Northwestern station on a scorcher of a day.- I stepped in to get a coke and waited to be served. It was so cold in there I ordered a cup of coffee. It isn't so many years ago that conditioning was installed in cars In the old Model "T" Fords, the windshields were in two pieces and the top half opened out so you could get some air. And some dust! Call no more. I'll explain that sports picture which I gave to our Sports Editor. It showed the McHenry Bums or Locals. Bugs crept in someplace along the production line. BUI Kreutzer was pictured, but his name omitted. - and the name was "Bun" Thurhrell, not "Bum". Manager Ed Wolf and Glenn An­ derson .were not present for this picture. They were shown on a picture run in the Plaindealer Centennial issue. A sentence explaining this was also omitted. Newspaper business, like life, has its problems. I won't use names. It happened as we were leaving McHenry Country Gub one evening. A fellow came up to me and said a girl at his table wanted to know why I carry a cane. Without showing her my legs or dragging out medical history, I ex­ plained the cane was to keep girls away from me. * Her husband said he believed my story. Each season of the year brings problems, plans and resolutions. Right now my plans call for getting a lot of things done as soon as this hot weather comes to an end. ********** WORKSHOP ON RADIATION "Radiation on the Job" will be discussed in detail at a free in­ formational workshop sponsored by Pollution and Environmental Problems, Inc.
