Now that the boom-boom of fireworks is over, we can look forward to the County Fair. When 1 was big enough to be of help on the farm, I worked all summer and drew the handsome pay of $2 at County Fair time. So I Hear by Earl Walsh Eighth graders author literary publication One year I made the unheard of sum of $36 at the County Fair. My legs were too long for my pony so got a neighbor kid to be my jockey. He and the spirited pony won the race with plenty to spare. Adding to the race, 4-H displays and cattle judging brought more money than I had ever seen. Before pony days when Frank Page and I rode to Woodstock, my father took the family in a surrey. How well l remember the big basket of fried chicken our mother prepared for the trip. About a mile out of town, we wanted to grab a drumstick, but the lunch had to remain intact for a noon spread at the fairgrounds. Mom would head for the baking and fancywork exhibits. Our father didn't stray too far from the race track where "Big George" Vogel always had fast horses. Kids scattered to look for free amusements and nickel cotton candy. When my uncle bought a Model "T", a trip to Woodstock was a breeze compared to the buggy and saddle days. Those trips were well planned. You drove Snyder Road on the way over, then came home over Mason Hill. Down hill all the way. No way those Tinlizzies could make those hills in high gear. After the Fair, summer was really fading away and the cloud of going back to school loomed overhead. Sometimes I wonder about our government spending billions to get to the moon when we knew all the timeit was made of green Nobody asked me, but it would suit me if part of that loot was spent on flood control down here on earth. All-Star voting is a joke. Heard one commentator urge people to vote as many times as they wished. That's stuffing the ballot box. Fans should have a say in the selections, but some smart guy had better come up with an idea to improve the plan. It was "Big John" Busscher at our door and nobody could be more welcome. John and Letty are back in McHenry for the rest of the summer, then will head back to Florida. Last year they were here at Christmas time when the cold weather was wicked. They wont be up here looking for Santa Claus this year. Let old Whiskers find them. John won't be here for the AU- Star game, but our usual bet is on. He beat me in that big game and the World Series so many years that he papered one wall with my dollar bills. Miller had words about my remark about corn being knee-high by the 4th of July. With the noise in Bimbo's, I may have misunderstood, but am quite sure he claimed they have stalks 7-feet high out Knox Hill way. He must have been reading the Jack and The Beanstalk story. Saw a picture of Dick Weber in the middle of a lake in a wash tub. Clad in a swim suit (a model), our daring boatpian was out on the lake without a paddle. FAMOUS LAST WORDS: Come just as you are. By Marion Olsen Plaindealer news service Eighth grade students at Parkland Junior High School became authors this year with the publication of a literary magazine titled "The Final Chapter." Supervised by reading in­ structor Dorothy Kuta, who discovered early in the school year that her eighth grade top readers were mastering regular language arts materials at a rate so rapid it insured im­ pending boredom, Miss Kuta set them to work with creative writing projects. The results, reported by Miss Kuta at the June District 15 board meeting, were a discovery of latent talent and a decision to produce a literary magazine. The project was opened to all Parkland eighth graders as "You don't have to be a top student to be creative," according to the instructor. A variety of student work is represented in the publication from a eulogy to a pet fish by David Rustile-"May he never swim through murkey waters, but glide effortlessly through blue seas for eternity"-to a story of friendship between a lonely young painter and a mouse, whose untimely death by a cat ended the painter's career, written by Brian Nemtusak. Poems, fantasy and essays reflected the eighth grade point of view. Artwork by 17 students illustrated the 32-page booklet. Students assisted with typing, assembly and running off the photocopied publication. Copies were in short supply at the District 15 board meeting and Miss Kuta did not anticipate a second printing.
