Thursday, July 8. 1065 DRUM CORPS PARTICIPANT THE McHENRY PLAINDEALEH Section Two -- Page Thre« THE SKOKIE VANGUARDS For the sixth consecutive year, the Skokie Van- Guards will be among participants in the Drum Corps M.i^ic show to he helri at McCracken fieiri the evening of July IS, in conjunction with Fiesla Day festivities. The Drivers Seat Long-distance driving can be deadly. That's a point .to remember with vacations in: the offing. People have died of thirst on highways through the southwestern deserts after their cars broke down. During winter, motorists have frozen to death. Far more common is sore -- and sometimes baclly infected -- feot. caused by walking miles to the nearest service station for a. can of gas after the engine gasped and died. According to Ihe American Automobile Association, 2.25 million drivers among their 8.5 million members run out of gas at least once a year. Nearly 20 per cent of all calls for service on major toll highways are calls for fuel delivery. If you run out of gas on a major, limited-access highway, you're better off than if the tank ran dry somewhere between Hillings, Mont., and Cheyenne, Wyo. Wait long enough on a toll road and someone probably will tell a service station attendant about you. ITe'll come to your rescue --- for n Jcc. Highway patrol cars in Michigan are equipped to pump gasoline through their engines into your car. Patrol cars in many states carry cans of gas. Running out of gas can be only a minor irritant if you have enough money to install a telephone in your car. That's what one man did. When his $6.500-car humped to a halt ho just reached for the phone and called the nearest service st at ion. A cheaper recourse for motorists stranded for any reason was proposed recently in a national magazine. Everybody would carry an inexpensive citizens hand radio. No more walking. Just, ring up the nearest service station, describe your problem, and read the newspaper until help arrives. Before starting on your vacation be sure that your car is in safe condition! Get a vehicle safety check for your car. Make sure you can see, steer and stop. Make certain that your brakes are in good working order. Good tires give you better control. For a safe trip practice defensive driving. Learn to recognize traffic hazards, understand the defense against them, and act in time to prevent an accident. Stay alert at all times and anticipate the actions of other drivers. Expressway driving is different! Pick your lane and stay with it. Weaving and lane wandering is a dangerous practice on high speed highways. Leave plenty of room between you and the car ahead. Signal before passing or changing lanes. Don't overload the family car for that vacation trip! Acceleration is slower, stopping distance longer, sway on curves greater, and many times the driver's view is obstructed. Before your vacation, safety check your car and load it so you can see, steer and stop.

BOUQUETS TO COMMUNITY "To the Editor: "On behalf of our McHenry chapter of the American Field Service, it is. fitting at this time to' recognize the community's ,contribution to its role as host to Antonio Carmona from Madrid. "Beyond Our own membership, everyone in McHenry belongs to AFS, because you have taken a foreign student nto your high school and given him a year of American education. We are particularly fortunate because the high school has treated our foreign student with exceptional consideration and generosity in providing books, lunches, and many ol the other expenses of the senior year. Beyond that, he has been permitted to play an important role in the commencement exercises. We cannot sufficiently acknowledge the many kindnesses and the personal attention of faculty members. We hope that Mr. Buckner, Mr. Martin, Mr. Brooke, many members of the language department, Mrs. Krieger, Mr. Seaton and all the rest will accept this as grateful recognition of their contribution. "The student body expressed friendliness and supported the AFS club at school. "The Plaindealer staff has given our program fine coverage, and many service clubs and individuals have helped to underwrite our expenses. • "A new season is beginning, under new leadership, and the first activity for Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Buch will be the arrival of an AFS bus with thirty- four students and two chaperones, representing twentyfour countries, on Wednesday, July 7. These young people, crossing the continent on their "CAN AMERICA WIN?" SUBJECT A number of people from this area travelled to Elgin recent 1 y to hear Dr. Slobodan M. Draskovitch speak on the topic, "Can America Win?" Dr. Draskovitch is an author, editor, publisher, lecturer and council member of the John Birch society. Dr. Draskovitch explained that Communism is not an ideology, it is not a philosophy, it is not a political party -- it is a criminal conspiracy to enslave the minds of men. The one goal of Communism is to gain enough power to rule the world. No matter what form of government, what form of economy, or what pretense of human rights is used, as long as the Communists maintain power, they will use any means to promote that power. CHANGE LOCATION Monday, .June. 28, the Illinois Heart Association, Service Area III, now located at 606 Dundee Avenue, Elgin moved its offices to Aurora. The new office^- are located at East Now'^York Street, near St. Charles hospital. For the past decade the Elgin office has been serving the Heart Units of DeKalb, Kane. Kendall and McHenry counties. Under the new re-organization. the service area will include Will, LaSalle. and Grundy counties as well as the aforementioned. way home after their AFS year, will stay with us for two nights. Families will open their homes to these students, and we know the whole town will enjoy the encounter. "Next year, our AFS student will be a young lady from Viet Nam, who will live with Mr. and Mrs. Ed Guettler and their daughters for the school term. "Finally our largest orchids and loudest applause must go to Mr. and Mrs. Walter Carlson. Tony's American parents, and to Tom Carlson--the people who did the most, and, we hope, will reap the most from the experience. "To Tony himself we can only say goodbye and good luck. He represented his family and his country with great credit. We hope we meet again.
