Touchy Subject Our police force has been deluged with' complaints of all kinds from dogs to disturbances on the beach. Complaining is one thing, and backing it up is quite another.

CARPENTIER Sccrctjry of State An added hazard to summertime driving is the. motorist who is. in a hurry to get to or from a vacation spot--regardless of the safety of others. Sometimes, this type of driver will be wantonly reckless. Other times, there will be no malicious thinking on the part of this type of driver, just a thoughtless desire to get ahead of every other driver at any cost. This type of driver is split into & number of categories. The worst iHi 1 I offenders are sometimes known as "in-and-outers." This type swings sharply into the lane of traffic carrying vehicles going in the opposite direction. In doing so, he will almost brush the left rear fender of the car he is passing. After passing, he will again swerve sharply, this time back into the right lane barely missing the left front fender of the vehicle he has just passed. Throughout the entire maneuver, he has neglected to make sure there was ample time in which to pass the other vehicle. Such drivers are either unaware of or neglect to obey the Illinois law which requires a motorist be back in the right hand lane before coming within 100 feet of any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction. (Sec. 58, Uniform Act Regulating Traffic.)

Thought For The Week-- "As long as nations meet on the fields of war -- as long as they sustain the relations of savages to each other --- as long as they put the laurel and the oak on the brows of those who kill -- just so long will citizens resort to violence, and the quarrels be settled by dagger and .revolver." --Robert G. Ingersoll. Along with the cooler weather which arrived this week, the sight of footballs is a timely reminder that the summer season is closing fast.
