Huntlev Pencil Collector
In 1956 Irwin Wasserstrass started collecting pencils to see how many he could get. Today, Mr. Wasserstrass has over 2,600 ballpoints, Eversharps, bullet pen¬ cils, carpenters pencils, wooden pencils and novelty pencils. Mr. Wasserstrass started his collection by justt aking wooden pencils, but as his collection progressed, he found that he was taking in many ballpKjint pens and Eversharp pen¬ cils. Thus he broadened his field to encompass all types of writing instruments.
Mr. Wasserstrass will take any type of pencil, long or short. How¬ ever, he prefers full ones that have never been used.
Whenever he gets a chance, he replaces one of his stubs with a long, full pencil. However, he says he will take any kind he can get.
Whenever he gets a duplicate of a pencil he already has, he tries to hand it to another collec¬
tor for a pencil he does not have. Mr. Wasserstrass says that the most unusual pencil he has is one which has a ship which moves in¬ to and out of a dock in a glass tube ato ne end of the pencil. He says that the pencil which is prob¬ ably the most useful in the busi¬ ness world is one which has an electronic testing light in the top of it.
The oldest pencil which Wasser¬ strass has in his collection was handed out by Walton Zimmer¬ man when he had a gas station in town. This pencil is of the bul¬ let type and must be over 25 years old, as Mr. Zimmerman was in the gas station business in the 1930's.
The majority of the pvencils Mr. Wasserstrass gets come from peo¬ ple who know of his collection. Tho others he gets by trading with other collectors. Eventually he hopes to have his collection cov¬ ering every wall of his basement.
Nfeiiv Street Nears Completion
Mill Street Nears Finisk
Work is progressing rapidly and the Mill Street extension between Dean St. and Rt. 47. According to Marc Boniaske, construction work on the extension, weather permit¬ ting, should be completed this fall. The new extension wil enable res¬ idents of the south side of town to have an exit to the highway with¬ out having to double back through, town or driving out by the ceme¬ tery.
When the workmen stop for the winter, the road will have a gravel base, storm sewers and drain tiles. Next spring workmen again will go back to work, this time putting a sealer over the gravel base.
It is hoped by Mayor Moncosky and the village board that in the Juture new hmnes will be erected along the street.

Redskins I^ose 19 to 7
The Huntliey Redskins football team was upset by Central high school last aSturday, 19 to 7. Hunt¬ ley's only touchdown was made on a pass to Lyle Marlowe, end during the opening minutes of the second quarter.. The extra point was made on a pass to Garry Call. Later in the game, Marlowe almost caught a pass to make an¬ other touchdown but missed the ball on a fourth dewm play.
Two of the three Central touch¬ downs were made on intercepted passes. The third was made in the first quarter on a series of drive plays down the field.
In his analysis, Coach Anderson said that boys played a "good de¬ fensive game," but the breaks went against us. He went on to say that Huntley's passing was bad and that "our mistakes con¬ tributed to the thre Central touch- and that "by statistics Huntley should have won the game." Sta¬ tistically Huntley made over 100 yards passing against Central's 4. Huntley also made more ground yardage than did Central.
Many of the spectators did not seem to agree with all of the calls made by the officials. There were many boos and other comments made by fans when the officials made a decision which they felt was incorrect. At one time on a punt return by Webber, an official got in the way. Webber was tac¬ kled after this incident.
