We sent him en his Way and since then have been endeavoring to regain our former, happy outlook on the future. In the week ahead we will be called upon to be generous for at least two causes, both of which are of greater benefit locally than one might realize at first glance. On Friday, both of the area Kiwanis clubs are jointly sponsoring the tenth annual Kids' Day peanut sale by which they hope to raise money, all of >vhich will be spent in this community for young people. During a week lortg drive which starts Sunday, more than 500 Girl Scouts in the McHenry area hope that the generosity of the public will enable them to carry out an increasingly popular and important program of activities for girls of all ages. It's true, the demand seems to increase on our pockbodks, but some, like these, should be close to our hearts as we realize the good that is being accomplished right in uor midst. TWO FATALITIES AMONG SEVERAL AREA ACCIDENTS (Continued from Page 1) Planning Needs In Area Told Continued from Page 1 POSTMASTER ADVISES PUBLIC ON UNWANTED MAIL Postmaster J. W. Hettermann states that one of the mo§t commonly asked questions at the post office is what can be done to prevent receipt of unsolicited and unwanted third-class mail matter, especially advertising circulars. - According to Postmaster Hettermann, patrons may refuse unwanted circular matter, by not opening it, and endorsing it "REFUSED" and handing it back to the carrier box. placing it in a collection box. This would then cause the piece to be returned to the sender, provided the sender has placed a guarantee on the mail stating that return postage will be paid. If this guarantee is not shown on the enyelope, then it would be useless to refuse this type of mail, as the post office destroys all undeliverable third-class matter which does not carry assurance of return postage. Those who wish to refuse third-class rpatter shouk} - note Whether or not the sender has agreed to pay return postage, which is indicated by one of the following endorsements on the left-hand side of the mailing piece; Return Postage Guaranteed, Forwarding Post age Guaranteed or Form 3547 Requested. "Refusal to accept mail matter is not always an assurance that no more will be receiV' ed," cautions Postmaster Hettermann. "Even though you endorse unwanted pieces of third-class mail "Refused" and the sender has guaranteed to pay return postage, you may still toe plagued with this type of mail until your name is removed from the sender's mail ing list." The most direct and most effective action toward stop ping objectionable third-class mail to return the piece to t!he sender with the request that you be taken off his mailing list. Complaints to the postmaster are very important when obscene materials are involved, but only the recipient can do anything to discourage or to eliminate receipt of matter which is not morally or legally offensive. All matter that enters the mails properly prepared and carrying adequate postage must be delivered. The bus had stopped in traffic to permit the passing of another school bus.

Citing what he termed "the tragic passiveness of Chicago" in taking earlier steps in planning, Blount urged leaders of the sx-township area to begin now to plan intelligently for the population growth "that is upon you and is continuing at an accelerated pace". Mistakes are costly and time consuming to correct. He warned that adequate codes are necessary to "nourish the whole body of the community -- homes, educationparks- recreation, and businessindustry".

Camp Far Horizons at Savannah, 111., was rented for five sessions this summer for Scouts who had completed fourth, fifth and sixth grades. Chapman Hills camp was used as an established camp for experienced girls who had completed the seventh grade and older. Long Lake property includes a beautiful tract of 500 acres that will require three to five years to be developed for regular campers. It was available last summer to girls who were senior Scouts and had completed ninth grade.

The Drivers Seat One-third of the nation's school children, those who ride school buses daily, are more exposed to traffic dangers than their fathers or mothers who drive family cars. According to the 1960 Fleet Owners Data Book, magazine for the motor transport industry, each bus load of school children averages 200 more miles on the road per year than the average adult-driven vehicle. School buses average 8,300 miles annually, while the average mileage driven by adults during the same period is 8,100. School children are in greatest danger while entering or alighting from school buses. They often dart across the road without looking to see whether traffic is coming. This careless tendency of youngsters is recognized by all of the states that have legislation that places on motorists the responsibility for avoiding accidents as children get off and on school buses. About half the states require traffic moving in both directions to come to a stop before passing a halted school bus. The other vehicles must remain halted until the school bus has resumed motion or the driver gives the signal to proceed. other state? apply this rule only to traffic moving in the same direction as the bus. Most states require that school buses be clearly marked. In many states the buses are painted orange or yellow for easy visibility. "School bus" signs must be evident to motorists if accidents aire to be avoided. Majjy bus fleets obtain added daytime visibility LOOKING FOR A HOME?
