Thursday, August 5, 19(fi> THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Section Three -- Page fhrei 1 MCCULLOM LAKE NEWS EVE LEVESqUB S85-S191 CULLOM-KNOLL SPONSORS ANNUAL SUMMER FESTIVAL Although the situation looked mighty "iffy" for a bit, meters of the Cullom-Knoll • Association voted to proceed t with plans for a summer fes- . tival to be held Labor Day weekend. The actual date is ' Saturday, Aug. 28, at the beach. The committee in charge • of arrangements includes the three working "R's" -- Ray Laiy, Roger Kinsey and Rich „ Johnsqn. As of this writing, we presume the festival will feature a bike parade, a doll buggy promenade, and the high light of other such events -- the choosing of Miss McCullom Lake (junior variety) in the evening. Action on the- festival was taken at the last meeting of the organization held Sunday, Aug. 1, in the beachhouse. Because of the scant number of members present, the annual election of officers was postponed until the September meeting. Rich Johnson, Roger Kinsey and Walter Patzke form the nominating committee and will present a slate of candidates for members' approval next month. Since the regularly scheduled meeting conflicts with Labor Day (Sept. 5) weekend, it will probably be held the following Sunday on Sept. 12. More details will appear in later columns. Future Bridegroom Congrats and best wishes to young Greg Burg who will take unto himself a wife come Dec. 4. He became formally engaged to Miss Louise Marie Schiller of Crystal Lake on July 20. Other details appear on the society page of the Plaindealer. We think Greg deserves a ing high school to enter the great deal of credit for leav- Navy where he served honorably for three years, three tinued his education and remonths, and six days! He conceived his high school diploma from Uncle Sam! injured in an auto accident on Route 120 last week. Here's hoping he is well on the mend at this writing. Party for Nine Year Old Daddy Bob was home to help mother Clemencia Fernandez when the two gave a birthday party for their nine year old Gloria on July 28. Guests consuming the cake, candy, coke, 'n' ice cream were Christie and Ermie Oberhuber, Daureen Parenti, Lorene and D. G. Vycital, Peggy O'Halleran, Peggy Burg, Janet Whitney and Judy Bingleton.

"I think most stop signs do more harm thpn good, for drivers just slow down instead of stopping and cars on the cross street expect them to stop. Can you bear me out on this?" R. H., Conneutville, Pa. A. You have something there. The U.S. Bureau of Public Roods recommends that a stop control be installed only if an average of more than 500 vehicles an hour for eight hours pass the point where it would be installed. There's apparent consensus aniong traffic engineers that stopping causes "friction" among vehicles--and accidents. Another count against stop signs: It costs a driver from three to ten cents each time h» stops. The amount depends upon how often he races his engine and how much rubber he loses from his tires in a quick take-off. Q.^'How can I beat the radar?" R.S., Montgomery, Ohio. A. We're sorry, but we'd better not answer that. We can tell you, however, that it does you no good to slam on your brakes when you spot a police radar car. By that time it's too late, for the radar unit records your maximum speed the instant it makes contact with your car. Q- "I read ^somewhere that there are aboik 140 million license plates on cars in this country. What happens tp all those plates after people get new ones?" Mrs. C. P., Hammand. La. % • A. Some of them are collected, some patch holes in roofs and light-reflective plates issued in some states often are tacked to trees and posts to ward off vehicles with the light they reflect at night. Once upon a time a h^ppy family, vacationing in a station wagop pulling a camping trailer, searched until midnight for a camp site that apparently wasn't where their map said it was. Finally, t'hey roused a farmer and got his permission to share his pasture with the cows." After many such happy families wrote unhappy letters to the U. S. Forest Service, big signs were erected to guide them to the camp sites. The signs were light-reflective so at night when headlights shined on them they were so bright that they semmed to be painted on the darkness with light. But. then, so many people found the cam)? sites that they became crowded and people from big cities who thought they had escaped to the lap of nature began writing letters again. Here was a crisis. What to do about it was the question. "Eureka"! cried an anonymous hero. 'There are some camp sites that always were almost empty without them. Let's put the signs only at the camp sites that weren't used much -- the ones that are hard to find." And so, last fall the Forest Service placed two signs at each of 800 out-of-the-way camp sites. Each sign features a woodgrain background with "off white" reflective letters that spell out the words: "National Forest Recreation Site Ahead."
