SPRINGFIELD By Jackie Huff Nineteen Scouts from Boy Scout Troop 452, McHenry, along with Mr. and Mrs. Rollo Pratt and family, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Carlson and family, Scoutmaster Bob Schindler and I left Johnsburg recently on the second of three nine-day trips planned for this summer. Our first stop was in Channahon, 111., where we set up camp at Chan­ nahon State Park. Most of the af­ ternoon was spent having water fights to keep cool. The Scouts managed to tie their scoutmaster up in his ham­ mock. I equipped some of them with water balloons with the intention of cooling him off, but a certain tone in his voice made us hesitate just long enough for my son to suggest that I was q safer target So my plan back­ fired, but I don't think anyone minded getting wet that day. After a few of the Scouts decided to join Bob in his hammock, the strings started breaking and it soon became just a big tangle of broken strings. We'll find a new one somewhere in our travels. On Sunday, we hiked along the Illinois and Michigan Canal. Due to the extreme temperature of the day, we cancelled our original plan to hike all the way to Gehbard Woods in Morris and settled on a three-mile hike along the historical trail. While we were hiking, we encountered a large snake sunning itself in the middle of the trail, but we managed to coax him into moving on with the help of some long sticks and alot of noise. After a light lunch and minor car repairs, we headed southward again to the Evening Star campground near Topeka, 111. We took part in the many activities available to us including swimming, fishing, a hayride, miniature golf and everyone's favorite, a water slide. While cam­ ping, Eric Pratt, Jim Wesseling and Kyle Huff were able to complete the Boy Scouts of America requirements for lifeguard, which they had begun on past Camping trips. They also com­ pleted the One Mile Swim along with the campground owner's son, David. Jeff Sima and Roger Brock managed to swim a half mile. A total of 27 merit badges were earned in camping, cooking, American heritage, first aid, personal fitness, wilderness survival, fishing, swimming and environmental science. Many of the badges com­ pleted were started at home or on previous campouts. In addition to the activities enjoyed at camp, we went to Springfield oo< Tuesday, where we toured the Capitol; building, the governor's mansion, and* Lincoln's tomb. Wednesday, we/ visited Dickson Mounds and learned*; about the ancient Indian tribes whof once inhabited the state of Illinois. Thursday was spent working on merit badges and swimming. Mrs. Carlson and the Scouts had a great wates fight. A demonstration on how to make a hammock with a clothesline was given to replace the one broken earlier in the week. Friday, we traveled to New Saleirf State Park to visit the restoration of the village where Abraham Lincoln lived during the 1830's. From New Salem, we continued on to Springfield to tour Lincoln's home and the State' museum. > After a day of swimming and relaxing around camp on Saturday,' we packed up and started for home on Sunday. We encountered a lot of history on this trip. If it hadn't been for the excessive heat, we may have been able to absorb more in­ formation than we did. We're looking forward to milder temperatures for our next trip. Dwindling Lighthouses Of thousands of beacons along our shores, most are on buoys and small station­ ary towers.

RTA Bus Contract Saving The Regional Transportation Authority has renewed contracts with the Worts Transit Company for ser­ vice in McHenry County and the Crystal Lake-Spring Hill area that represents a $15,700 saving. Worts Transit accepted a $446,003 contract for four county routes and a $157,762 contract for Crystal Lake. Both contracts were less than the optional increases that the company's old contracts provided for. As a result of negotiations, 8 percent optional increases for both systems wore reduced. Worts Transit agreed to a 7 percent increase at Crystal Lake and only a 5 percent increase in McHenry County. RTA Chairman Lewis W. Hill complimented the negotiators "for recognizing both the reality of decreased inflation and the lade of funding now plaguing the RTA". Thursday, the hTA board of' directors authorized new contracts for Route 806 in Crystal Lake and Routes 806, 807, 808 and 808 throughout McHenry County.
