Based upon exhaustive research and investigation, traffic safety engineers estimate that nearly half of those persons killed annually could have lived, had they been wearing properly installed seat belts. hope you enjoy your new home, Don and Elsie. Sports-minded Director Fred W. Wetzel is a very busy man in our community. He not only holds a full time job with the telephone company but also i§ our deputy sheriff for the past five years and became a director this past election. Fred is a member of the American Leyion and the Deputy Sheriff's association. He attended Lane Tech and Wright Junior College and spent the. years 1942 10 1945 as an aviation machinist's mate in the Navy. The Wetzel family moved to McHenry Shores from Chicago in August of 1954 and have loved living here ever since. Fred and Doris TurvK made many fiiends in the Shores as have their children, Michael, Sandra, Terry, and Timo^hyr" Fred sure has reason to be proud of his fine family. Summer sportsmen see a lot of Fred, it would seem, since, he likes fishing, golf, swimming and water-skiing. He loves watching all sports on.

These same persons would not fall to do so in an airplane. There are many examples of drivers who escaped with only slight injuries In collisions which completely demolished the vehicle; yet the pub-, lie- is still not convinced that belts are as necessary on the ground as they are in.the air. The use of seat belts is urged by the American Medical Association, the U. S. Public Health Service and the National Safety Council. The automobile manufacturers have now recognized their value, and all 1962 model cars are equipped with anchors for safe and easy installation of belts. Some drivers argue that belts are. needed only for high speed driving on long trips. This is faulty thinking indeed. Statistics show that half of the serious automobile accidents occur within 10 miles of the driver's home; half of the fatal accidents occur at speeds under 30 mph in urban areas. For safety's sake, have belts installed front and rear and make sure they are fastened before starting the engine. • » • Send your comments on traffic safety to this column.

The happiest of days to Shirley Lamerand and Cathy Musielak who will celebrate on the twenty-sixth. Poor Johnny Korner won't be able to celebrate his birthday until 1964 (Leap Year).

May you all have peaceful and happy birthdays. Thoughts While Closing Everyone has been thinking of the lovely Spring which is always just around the corner. We're all subject to some daydreaming. But as I look out my window I can see the unwanted crystal flakes coming d o w n -- a n d s t i c k i n g -- s h a l l we all close our eyes and get back to this daydreaming? Let's see now, where was I.

Anthony Corcoran, the new administrator, attended. Mr. Corcoran is married, has one child and was educated in Scotland.

However, when his wife arose on Friday morning about 7:30 she found his cold body lying upon the dining room floor. Just how long life had been extinct can not be ascertained.
