PEDESTRIANS OVER 85 ARE WARNED 01* V WINTER HAZARDS \ V - " - y Pedestrians who are 65 vea&t older are eleven times as liable to be killed in traffic as persons between the ages of 25 and 44, the Chicago Motor Club warns. The primary reason for this is that wet or icy' streets increase accident hazards ,to elderly pedestrians. Older people should cross streets only when they are sure that they can reach the other side before pp** vehicle approaches. Attenipffk't © ik'Ulk faster than normal may tfesuit,ili a fall. "Elderly pedestrials frequently depend on motorists to slow down or stop for thein," explained President Chas. M. Hayes, "and while most drivers are glad to do this when -J-hev cfi®; it is a dangerous mistake tb count on it. Sometimes automobiles just cannot stop in time" to avoid hitting people who walk in front of them." If you're now over 65 years of age here's how you can continue to enjov the days ahead of you. (1) Lock both ways before crossing a street and be certain that .yog-.-have time enough to get to the other side before approaching automobiles reach you; (2) Never try to cross at faster than your normal pace as you may fall or may not be able to walk as fast as you expected; (3V Choose the safest crossings, preferably one where a traffic officer is stationed or there is a traffic signal or safety island: (4) never depend u pon automobi le drivers to stop for you. • • Waffle Iron a waffle iron is to place a paper napkin soaked with household ammonia between the grids and leave it overnight. The ammonia loosens the brown "cooked on" ac-. cumulation of grease. Then it may be wiped off or rubbed off with steel wool. (This cleaning method may also be used for the inside ot ovens.) . • ' i \ n i l u r n •* "Snow, snow, beautiful snow, slep on a piece and away you go." That was the way we felt as we left McHenry Saturday morning headed for Lake Bluff and Midwinter Institute. But we arrived safely as did some 100 young folks from churches as far west as Woodstock, north as Antioch, and south as Libortyville. Bv 11 o'clock Diane Bacon and Celia Pa^e of our church had registered along with the others and we entered the beautiful new sanctuary of the Lake Bluff Methodjst church. The M^Y. F. cabinet led us in our opening worship and Bishop J. Ralph Magee spoke'on the subject, "What is Faith?". Following this inspiring- service we had lunch. Then those who planned to stay over night were taken to the private homes and were introduced to their hosts. Celia ami Diane will be writing an account of their 'experiences for our own church paper. Be sur6 and get oue and read it. After the free period we again gathered in the sanctuary and after some group singing Dr. Rockwell Smith, professor at Garrett Biblical Institute, Evanston, was introduced and spoke on the subject, "Our Responsibilities to our Friends and J our Enemies^' Everyone wished Dr. Smith had talked another half hour on this subject but there was a schedule and it was closely followed. Then the group was divided into nine sections and under the leadership of a minister and a layman we continued the discussion of this important subject • for another hour. A tour to the Lake Bluff orphanage was the next item of interest. Here we saw their new kitchen and dining room, their newly decorated chapel, and also a movi»of orphanage life. Returning to the church we were ou our own until 6 o'clock, when the ladies of the church served a very lovely dinner. This was followed by group singing and a period of tolk games. Your pastor couldn't stay for these as the roads were a bit icy and he felt it wise to get home early. The girls will have to tell about the evening fun. On Sunday morning the young folks attended the Sunday ^School classes and the worship services of the host church. This wonderful weekend ended by everyone participating in an inspiring Con inuniou service led by Dr. Weldon Bradburn, Rev. Albion Tfrvtafter and the host pastor, Rev. Carlton Rogers. As the young folks Jeft /#e could hear, "I'll see you at <;ainp: this summer," or "I'll see you next winter." ^ , Th« fii-st lenien service will be, history by the time this is outj but we hope that you attended. On March 1, S p.m., Hev. Earl Olson' of Marengo will be our speaker. Your pastor will trade pulpits with him for this evening. After this service there will be a fellowship jhour and the following ladies have ; planned coffee and cake for you, | Mrs. Frank Gans, Mrs. William Green, Mrs. A1 Hirdler, • Mrs. A. I Johnson, Mrs. Wilraa Ditfkow, Mrs. Clyde Bailey, Mrs. Robert Rich- ] ardson, and Mrs. Harry Lock. We ! cordially invite you to worship [with us during the lentea season. ! The ladleb of the W.S.C.S. have tasked that we again announce tlieir family style dinner, to be served Thursday, March 9. Serving will begin at 5:30 p.m. and the prfce of the dinner is $1.50 for adults. Come and bring the family aid your appetites. We made a mistake in announcing Layman's Day for last Sunday -it is this Sunday.
