Woman's Club Flection The second election held was that of the Holiday Hills woman's club. In spite of the fact that it was Valentine's Day and most of the gals had to leave their "Valentines" home baby sitting there ,\yas a pretty' good turnout at St. John's Lutheran church to discuss s^sofrje very important news and " elect new officers. Business for the evening included discussion on a Red Cross instructor for swimming lessons which will begin on or around June 18. Questions brought up were should there be a 6 or 8 week course? ^•Should instruction be held In "he morning or afternoon and should the lessons begin later than June? An instructor has been contacted and a final decision will be made after these problems have been discussed with her. Gerry Breede presented a new project to be worked on for the retarded school in Wonder* Lake. Ladies are asked to ' ^ j e g i n c o l l e c t i n g b e l t s a n d buckles, zippers, buttons and button holes, snaps and gym shoe lacings from used clothing.

She has just been elected to two offices She is the new corresponding secretary of the association and is also the new president of our Woman's club. She's very much interested in her garden and bowling and there are many weeks when I don't know what I'd do without her. She never fails to call me on Wednesday or Thursday to give me the news she has collected from her neighborhood.

Lorraine Bemis is authorized to register you right here in the subdivision, and she lives at 2406 So. Holiday Drive, right near the corner of Holiday and Sunset. Make it a point to get over there, and soon!! Birthday Doings Another party at the Lunde- Although red is the approved color for stop signs recommended • by the U. S. Bureau of Roads, a recent 14,000-mile survey revealed that outmoded yellow-and-black stop signs outnumber red signs by about 50 to 1. In Westchester county, New York, a traffic engineer surveyed the county's signs and found fifty-nine types of stop signs, although only one is legal -- the red,, reflective stop sign with a w|hite "Stop." This lack of uniformity in stop signs is particularly critical in view of their accidentpreventing abilities, particularly at intersections on rural and secondary roads, according to highway officials. j - . - ' The highway department of Howard county, Ind., began in 1958 to install red stop signs at rural road intersections in the county in an effort to reduce rural intersection traffic d e a t h s . F a t a l i t i e s d r o p p e d from four in 1958 to three in 1059. In 1960, one fatality was reported on intersections in the county. This year, to date, there have been no fatalities on Howard county's rural intersections. County Road Commissioner Joseph Harrison credits the red stop signs with the reduction in traffic deaths. The Signs follow state standards, being red with white lettering and coated with reflective material that glows in automobile headlights at night. The state standards, in turn, are based on recommended standards of the U. S. Bureau of Roads. The Indiana legislature recently passed a bill requiring the establishment of through roads in rural areas throughout the state, with red stop signs erected at every intersection along the selected roads. A test similar to the Howard county program is currently being carried out in Cass county, Iowa, with 600 red stop signs being erected at Wonder Lain BISHOP LAKE CONFIRMS 66 BOYS AND GIRLS Jane Ducey The Most Reverend Loras T.
