Thursday, March 18, 1965 THE McHENBY PLAINPEALEB Section Two -- Page Five RINGWOOD NEWS oelores bbennan 653-9045 SCHOOL BOARD MEETS IN BUSY SESSION MARCH 8 The board is contacting the Pacific Boiler Co. to be reimbursed for the cost of repairs on the boiler when the fire box became flooded last month due to faulty welding at the time of construction. The Board has letters from the contractors who made the repairs supporting this 'evidence. Due to the recent burglary at the school, Mr. Smejkal made two recommendations ' to increase the insurance on contents and to have an alarm system installed on the school. Both recommendations were approved by the board. The Board of Directors voted to' join the newly founded . S.E.D.O.M. organization (special educational district of Mc- Henry County). They feel this would help solve one major problem in the E.M.H. program. To have one person tested by the psychologist cost $60. By joining this organization the total cost of the psychologist services are based on the number of students enrolled in the school. This year the cost is $82.50. The cost is the same if we have one student or ten tested. The board voted to increase the teachers salaries a straight $200 across the board. This is the first change in the salary schedule since the 1962-63 salary, schedule went into effect. The bond approved and passed a resolution to comply with the state safety survey. After reviewing several architects' bid, the board voted to have the firm of Robert T. Freund of Crystal Lake to conduct the safety survey.

RULES FOR SAFE PASSING GIVEN BY POLICE SERGEANT Defensive drivers use this simple device tq, determine their speed per second. They multiply their speed, as indicated on the speedometer, by one and a half.. Example: at sixty miles per hour you are travelling 90 feet per second. To get a pass-- ing grade as a defensive driver you must use this information to determine when it is safe to pass on the open highway, Sgt. Espey said. The average time it takes to pass another vehicle at 60 miles per hour is 10 seconds. You will need a\total of 2,300 feet to pass safely at this speed--900 feet for you to pass, 500 feet for a safety margin and 900 feet for the oncoming vehicle. This means, that at normal--driving speeds, (55 to 65) you need at least one half mile of cl/ear road space to accomplish a safe passing maneuver, Sgt. Espey pointed out. He also emphasized that there are certain locations where you should never attempt to pass another vehicle: in all zones posted with a sign reading "do not pass"; railroad crossings, curves; intersections and going uphill where sight distance is limited. He also cautioned drivers to be extremely careful when passing during adverse weather conditions such as snow storms, fog, iey roads-and heavy rain storms. Sgt. Espey emphasized that the lives of pedestrians are placed in jeopardy when drivers pass at intersections where walkers cross or are apt to be crossing. Improper passing is one of the most unsafe acts a driver can commit. Illegal and improper passing has cost the lives of thousands of drivers and passengers as well as pedestrians each year. Passing on curves should be left to the judges of beauty contests, he concluded.
