Thursday, August 17„ 1961 THE McHENRY PLJUMDEA1£A Page Five The Drivers Sea! When news is made on-the highway, it's generally tragic.- However, the antics of motor-- ists sometimes may have a humorous side. Here are some outstanding examples of humfir «n the highway: A motorist in Houston, Texas, collected 114 parking tickets before the law caught up with him. A man of principle, he requested a separate trial for each of the tickets. The court granted his wish and he will be tried once a week. The final trial -- provided he collects no other tickets in the meantime -- will be held in A {ml, 1963. A Jacksonville,- Fla.. auto dealer kicked off a hig sales campaign with a newspaper ad that read, "Look for it! Something big is going to happen!" A few hours after the ad appeared the entire ceiling of his showroom collapsed on his new cars. « An irate motorist in London ca^d the police to demand they remove an elephant blocking a parking space. Police found \the animal, carrying a sign advertising a circus, in the parking space, all right. But, he was parked correctly. The .meter had the proper currency and time was still left on the dial. The officers decided the animal was parked legally. The REPLACEMENT CATTLE SUPPLY ABOVE LAST YEAR The supply of replacement cattle appears to be slightly larger than it was a year ago. Prices will depend mostly upon what farmers are willing to pay. The total United States calf crop is reported to be up only 1 percent from that of last year. But a smaller share of these calves are out of dairy cows. The number of calves from beef-type cows may be up 2 or 3 percent. Illinois farmers draw most of their feeder cattle from the Great Plains states and from Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Missouri. Kentucky and Tennesee. The calf crops in these states are up about 2 percent from a year ago. Slaughter of calves in the first half of this year was about 1 percent less than it was a year before. This decline probably resulted from the reduction in numbers of milk cows. The number of yearlings available for feedine may not lie much different from whf>l it was a year ago. Most of the r a n g e s t a t e s c a r r i e d o v e r about 2 percent more calves last winter than the year before. Range conditions are mixed. For Family--For Friends Every experienced homemaker builds a < repertoire of satisfying main dishes which can be put together without a special trip to/the grocer for the makings. Some of these substantial and quickly made family favorites (usually casseroles) should also be luxurious enough to set before guests as well.

The most severe drouth has been along the Canadian border. It has burned crops and ranges in North Dakota and Montana and adjoining areas. A less severe drouth plague^ the far southwest -- Utah, Nevada, Arizona and southern California. Conditions in the southern states, sweeping from New Mexico and Texas to the Atlantic Coast, are much better than they were last year. More cattle will be moved out of the Northern Plains this year than in 1960. Reeent prices were down $1 to ¥3 « hundred pounds from a year before. Bui if too many buyers go "looking for bargains," the asking prices will go up. Texas had a nry spring but an abundance of rain later. Texas and (he other southern slates seem likely to be stronger bidders for cattle than they were last year. The feed-grain program may tend to reduce the demand fur feeder cattle.

Illinois taxpayers have experienced a growth in state and local tax which has far exceeded the rise in personal income and the rise in the price consumers index. The following are some of the facts: have increased 130 percent in the ten years since 1950, from $887,167,132 to $2,043,107,350 (1950 local taxes $566,542,132. state taxes $320,925,000. total $887,467,132; 1960 local taxes AVOID "SHOCKING' EXPERIENCES.

There is no set speed that can be called a safe speed in an automobile, according to Mauri Rose, three-time winner atythe Indianapolis Speedway. ^fepending on conditions, speeds as high as miles an hour can be considered safe; under other circumstances 25 miles an hour can be much too fast. The expert driver consistently adjusts his speed lo condition. Rose says. He defines a "safe speed" as one that assures him good control of his cawnnd the ability to stop in 1h™ assured clear distance ahead. Some of the conditions that call for reducer! speed ;n-e obvious, according to Rose. Prob- ! ably the best example is dark- j Veterans and widows in reness, he says. When the sun j cejpt 0f a non-service connected pension benefit from the j U.S. government were urged sorghum grain, oats and barley to feed. Furthermore, the cost of these feed grains is almost certain to be higher than it has been this past year. Prospects point to prices for fat cattle about the same in 1962 as in 1961. Market receipts may be a bit larger. Supplies of competitive meats are likely to be a little heavier. These increases in supplies could be just about balanced by an increase in consumer buying power. The market oullook. as we see it, shows a need for buying replacement cattle at prices $3 to $4 a hundred pounds lower than last fall. L. H. Simerl Department of Agricultural Kcononiics RID PROPERTY OF DISCARDED REFRIGERATORS Do you have an old icebox you're using as storage space? How about a discarded refrigerator you've been planning to toss in the dump - but just haven't got around to? Well, it's a -good idea to get rid of such cabinets as soon as they're of no more use as a food preserver. They can be killers of children. Such cabinets, lethal becausr they're airtight and liecausr their doors can'i be opened from the inside, annually snuf! out the lives of about a do/on children. More than .">•) million refrigerators, iceboxes, fiee/.ers and other similar airtight cabine;-: are in use today. At i r.^e (.' about a million a ve;n- they're being carted to junk piles o\ worse yet, kept in the basement or left in the back yam. "The suffocation of children in discarded cabine's," the Council says, "is an especially needless form of accidental deal h." Most states have legislation prohibiting abandoning. discarding or storing the deathdealing devices where they can become coffins for children. A federal law requires that all household refrigerators shipped today be equipped with an inside release latch. "Kven that." the Council says, "rloes not insure the 1 safety of children today. It I will be many years before the I present refrigerators are nt> I longer in use." Meanwhile, the C o u n c i l -- i which, in cooperation with the National Electrical Manufacturers association, is conducting a campaign against discarded cabinets - gives these tips on how the cabinets can be made harmless: 1. Remove the door. Even with the latch removed, many ! freezer cabinets of the chest j type have lids loo heavy for a i trapped child to lift. | 2. Remove latch stops so the I door can't look. Tnis you qan I do. usually, by removing four • screws. i 3. Drill holes in the cabinet and remove ihe rubber gasket , .iround the door. j "Best of all," the '"ouncil says, "destroy the box. "Parents should insure the safety of their children by ! knowing where the children I are playing, by providing safe places for them to play, and by telling them of the dangers j of iceboxes and refrigerators."

Urge Re-Check Of '61 Income goes down, accident hazards go up.i Darkness lowers visibility, and visibility reduces the "assu^ ri clear distance" a safe driver needs in which to stop. One of the main difficulties in determining this "assured clear distance" at night is the inability to determine correctly the size of a vehicle ahead. Taillights often can be deceiving. The danger is particularly prevalent on high-speed expressways where the faster pjAvp makes distance estimat i o n m o r e d i f f i c u l t . T r u c k s especially seem to be in danger of being hit from behind. Many trucking firms use large panels of reflective material to help mot Mists gauge the true size of their trucks This has helped, and motorists are safer as n lvsult. Mauri Rose points out that s?\^ highways and vehicles, pli^ sensible driving speedc. are necessary to safety.

Since pension is payable based on the anticipated income of the individual for the year 1961, a possible over-payment could be created should mis-judgment occur. Pension is pavabie based on income limitations. It an individual's income for the annual period exceeds the income limitation, pension paid maybe subject to recovery by the Government. It was pointed out by Mr. Johnson that a timely notice of excessive or expected excessive income would result in discontinued payments effective as of the last payment. By this method of procedure there would be little chance ot creating an overpayment. All veterans and widows who have a question relative to this regulation or who may feel their income data has changed since anticipated last January, are urged to contact the nearest office of the Illinois Veterans' commission. In McHenry county, veterans should contact the Illinois Veteran's commission office at the court house in Woodstock.
