Dear S.I.H.: Like your winter (old) stories. In the 1920's a pond was close to our home, Norwood Park area. Hard freeze we kids would run over after school to skate. If ice was thin, we called it rubber ice. It would give. First skater on hard ice would yell "I got it", others had to chase and tag him. Then he had it and would be chased. Fun. Good skaters. Regards, BobS. Dear Bob, Why didn't you sign your last name? If it isn't Stoller, correct me. I think you live in an area, Fourth and James Streets, where Mr. and Mrs. Ben Adams had a small farm. There was a skating pond right there. It wasn't uncommon for a family to have only one pair of strap-on skates. That meant glide the best you could on one skate. ThofiMams small farm had cows Hd sold milk on a come and get it basis. I can remember going for milk with our own container and paying ten cents a quart. One time, when Mrs. Adam gave me two pennies, it meant rush to the store to buy candy. The days of real sport. And, regards to you, too. S.IJL BUI Bolger, phoned to remind me of a of a Prairie boy.

The home was built on the north side of Idyl Dell Road at Hilltop Drive. That was long before "Sch­ maltz" and Kinley Ingvalson subdivided what is now McHenry Shores. Uncle John had a snappy horse and buggy and could drive to town without fear of automobiles. He had a beautiful garden, but had to purchase some items at stores. I shopped for him once a week and his fist always started R Special program set to reveal Results of archeological dig the summer of 1964, a of McHenry County participated in an excavation at the Rock SheHer in the River Valley near Muscoda, Wis.

Not getting his OK, I ordered the phone installed. He happy with it. Bill also thought Orchard Heights ar included in the history, remembers when the apple orchard belonged to Clay Baird. It was before my days, but John Gibbs lived down there at one time and referred to the farm as "The Island." Guess that wffl take care of Irish Prairie.

Hie last time we were in the Little Chef restaurant fiftur eyes caught a decorative sign that had thfe message- "Only 46 days til St. Patrick's Day." I'm sure the artist is none other than Marty OTOapperich. This week Crime Stoppers is seeking information on a series of vandalism incidents that have plagued Cary residents since July, 1964.

OLD SAYINGS • Politics make strange fellows. Waste not and want not. Ask me no questions and tell you no lies. Better the "divil" you know than the "divil" you don't know. Dont be like that or people won't like you. (That was a rebuff to those who talked about and knocked others). When people discussed the oddities of a man* and his wife, Grandma said, "God made 'em. He matched 'em".
