According to the Illinois State Bar association, the reexamination as administered by the Illinois Secretary erf State's office consists of (1) an "inside" test of a person's knowledge of traffic laws, his ability to read and under stand traffic signals, and an eye examination, and (2) an "outside** test on the road, of a person's skills behind the wheel. Under Illinois' new driver's license laws, every licensed motor vehicle operator must be re-examined at least once every nine years. The "inside" ternoon.

Who knows, some day we may even develop a fondness for the "thing". During a visit to our office by Clyde Blackwell last Friday, he showed us his driver's license to prove his long-time standing in the ranks of the Senior Citizens. We aren't giving away his secret, but the spirit and energy of this man would do credit to many foils thirty and forty years younger. His visits are a bright spot in qjnr day. ( The death of John L. Lewis last week set us thinking. The very young, who feel that the present era has brought new heights in forceful personalities, particularly in the field of reform, will never have an' opportunity to hear the real leader. Few who heard Lewis, who ruled the United Mine Workers with a mighty hand for EMPLOYMENT SURVEY TO BE CONDUCTED HERE A sample of residents of this area will be included in a nation- wide survey of employment and unemployment to be conducted during the week of June 15 by the Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce, according to Theodore F. Olson, director of the Bureau's regional office in Chicago. The monthly survey is conducted by the Bureau of the Census for the U.S. Department of Labor, and the information is used to calculate the number of persons with jobs, the number of people looking for jobs, and the monthly percentage of unemployment, which is regarded as one of the most important measures of the Nation's economic health. The information is used for statistical purposes only, and facts about each family are kept completely confidential. many years, will never forget those piercing eyes which somehow managed to emerge from beneath the most tremendous eyebrows one might imagine. And the message that he set forth left the listener amazed at the forceful approach of this mostly self-educated man. Hie highly schooled personalities of today would do well to emulate this powerful individual in "how to doP' if not always in "what to do". K.A.F. panies I and n fought the blaze. Earlier that afternoon, Tom Gustafson, of 205 N. Kent, McHenry, reported a car fire which resulted in $50 damage. The call was handled by members of Company I and H. Shop In McHenry ver, the ISBA states, but the "outside" on-the-road test may or may not be required in every case. According to the ISBA, the driver with several traffic violations on his record is more likely to be required to take the complete test--both "inside" and "outside" parts -- than is the driver who has a clean record. There are approximately 6,650,000 licensed drivers in nilnots. In order tore-exlmine all drivers within the retailed nine-year period,-the Secretary of State is scheduling about one-ninth of the total -- or 730,000 drivers -- for reexamination each year, as. licenses empire. Driver's licenses are good for three years, but until the new law was enacted by the 1967 Legislature, renewal was more or less au- . tomatic, and without re-examination except in special cases. Under the new law, drivers 69 years of age or older must be re-examined every time, their licenses expires. They are being required to take thecomplete test. Hie Secretary of State may defer re-examination in order to accommodate a member of the UJS. Armed Forces who is stationed outside of Illinois and who is unable to appear for ra-oxaminatiGn as a condition of his license renewal. Under those conditions, the serviceman may be granted a renewal date. However, a serviceman who plans to return to Illinois on leave, or who is within reasonable distance of an Illinois examining station, could be required to appear for reexamination. The ISBA said any driver who is re-examined normally is allowed three attempts to pass the examination and qualify for renewal. You have one chance in ten of meeting a "fUzzy-wuxzy" -- perhaps head-on -- every time you pass ten cars. A "fuzzy-mazy?" He's the drunk, drugged mentally or physically deficient driver who if becoming more comnMM on today's highways. Here's some data on the sy-wuzzy," as reported in a recent issue of Motor Trend, one of the car-buff magasines: A recent survey estimated that 1,400,000 licensed drivers would foil to pass even the most elementary physical examiniation. About 25 percent of UJS. drivers are gulping down potentially dangerous drugs and medicines that make driving a risky proposition. Another million swallowed five billion illegal sedative or pep pills last year. At least <me million or more Americans have road-disabling mental or emotional ailments, yet many of them are allowed to drive on the roads. Where does the blame belong? On out-of-date state licensing laws and the people forced to administer them, the survey showed. Note these Jar-" ring fects: -- Mail-renewable licenses are available in at least two dozen states -- and the applicant is never seen. Upwards of 10 million U.S. drivers have not taken a driving examination for 20 to 40 years. -- Minimum driver hearing ability is not required by 10 states, and almost no test for hearing. » -- Nearly 30 percent of the highway fatalities occur in noncollision accidents, in which a car runs off th^road without apparent --explanation. A year-long study showed that nine percent of the drivers in one-car accidents died of natural causes whili. .'jiving.
