E^iid  of  Peanut E^ra.
On Saturday, Dec. 17, an "era" came to an end in Huntley when the peanut shells were removed from Little America. After two years and 3500 pounds the Leon¬ ards decided the gimmick had lost its apeal as a business getter.
hTe picture shows the team of Kechl, Kahl and Leonard in the process of shoveling the shells.
P.S. Only a few coins, and ear¬ rings and keys were found in the process.
Redskins  In Toiurnament
Huntley is now participating in the invitational holiday tourna¬ ment at Kirkland, 111. Last Tues¬ day night they played Piano and beat them 64 to 52. Wednesday night they played Earlville. The results of this game are not known to use at this time as we went to press last Wednesday night.
With the winning of the Piano game Huntley ensured itself of one of the first four places in the in¬ vitational tournament. If ite beats Earlville tonight, the team wiU compete on Friday night at 9:15 p.m. for first or second place. If the team loses to Earlville, they Friday night for third or fourth will be competing at 7:30 p.m. place. In either case a trophy or an award will be received by the team.
So far this year Huntley has won five out of the ten games she has played. In the uTesday night game Bruce Weber made 31 points. Coach Anderson says that the team is improving in passing and in making baskets. Next week we will run the box scores for the en¬ tire holiday tournament and will try to have some pictures of Fri¬ day night's, we hope, champion¬ ship team.

If necessary cars will be towed away at the owners' ex¬ penses. Chief Fay urges your co- c^ieratkm in \ceepiag streets dear o fvdiides on nights vi^en the snow piow must bi uwd.
New Population Sign Posted
Above is shown one of the new population signs tliat were posted in Huntley  last Tuesday, Dec.  27.
Huntley on T.V.
Many Huntley residents watched the Spirit of Christmas on CBS ,TV, CttfuHJel 2. Ust Friday, ijight, at 7:30 p.m. The part of this hour- long program took place in Hunt¬ ley at the Delwin Borhart farm west of town on the Marengo blacktop. The program started in Chicago and showed many scenes of Christmas life in the city and near-by suburbs. Toward the very end of the program, life in our small town was depicted.
Almost eerybody we have talked to in town watched the program and has some comment on it. The part which Huntley took part in lasted 7 or 8 minutes. The people who participated in the program spent from 7 to 1:30 last Saturday night to prepau"e these seven min¬ utes. The pictures throughout this paper show some of the scenes which took place on television last Friday night.
Perhaps, one of the foremost questions in people's minds, is why Huntley was selected to depict this part of Christmas out of all the other towns around the area. It would have been much easier to take some town close to Chicago from which to build this part of the program. But the people in charge felt that these twons did not have what they were looking for.
Huntley is perhaps the last town
in the area that still has a unique
character of Christmas of the past.

Population Signs    Posted
Huntley's population has risen since 195^^ from' 850 to 1150. This is a jump of 300 people and means that at least 30 people moved into town each year during this ten year period. The population jump was approximately 35 per cent ov¬ er that of 1950. Chief Kenneth Fay and Morris Kiefer are pictured above putting up the new popula¬ tion signs.
According to Chief Fay there are actually more people that this liv¬ ing in Huntley proper. Hmm people have moed in since the cen¬ sus was taken this year. The 1150 people listed on the signs on all the main roads entering Huntley do not indicate any population out¬ side of the boundaries of the town. This is calculated in the county and is put on the county records rather than the town's.
