Parents and authorities will be glad to that of the 157,603 reported lents in Illinois last year, were only 125 in which •ChOol buses were involved. While thii record is good, the problem of maintaining safe pupil transportation will remain for years ahead and everything possible must be dome to prevent injury to J3>upila. - I The program of transporting I pupils by bus has grown tremen- | dously in the past few years and « will continue to expand. The | motoring public, a few years ago, w*s surprised at the increasing Ifumber of school buses and many motorists had difficulty learning that vehicles must stop for school buses discharging or loading passengers whether . they approach the bus from either the rear or in front. By now, the motoring public is better acquainted with special hazards presented by 3*--achool buses and may be at the point of becoming lax in the use of safety precautions. The sight of school buses on special trips during summer months when everyone knows there is no school, may have caused some drivers to drop safety precautions and they may forget to resame these practices upon the opening of the schools. So far as the school bus accidents in 1951 are concerned, there were no fatalities among occupants of school buses nor the vehicles involved in accidents with them. All but twenty-two of the accidents happened at times when the buses were transporting pupils but only sixty-seven passengers were injured. Of this total, twenty-seven were injured , in one accident and fifteen in an- 1 other. In the remaining accidents, the number of injured passengers was four or less. In other v e h i c l e s , t w e n t y - f o u r p e r s o n s were injured making a total of in which the chilhavte been badly ing vehicles dren must frightened. The best preparation to avoid accidents due to school bus operation is to be fore-warned. When traveling upon any roadway having a sign reading "Unlawful to pass school bus stopped for children" motorists should watch not only for the buses but for any sign of congestion or slowing of vehicles ahead that may hide the bus from view. In this way the speed of vehicles can be regulated so that stops of emergency nature will not be necessary. Spring Grove SANITATION BEST WAY TO GET RID OF FLIES j 1 | pub! ffihe You can spray them and swat them, but the most effective way to get rid of flies is to eliminate their breeding places. Flies as a general rule stay within about a quarter of a mile of the place they hatched, so get rid of open dumps, refuse and manure piles and keep garbage in covered cans. This is the advice of H. B. Petty, entomologist, Illinois College of Agriculture and Illinois Natural History Survey, who reports that flies are particularly numerous -and bothersome this year. In some cases flies have been found to develop a resistance to DDT. However, if the infestation is not heavy, or if the DDT. has not been used in quantities over a period of years, it may still be effective. For outside use, Professor Petty suggests a 2 percent chlordane residual oil spray. Spray screens, doorways, porches or wherever flies gather. The residue stays after the spray dries and kills flies that walk or rest on treated surfaces. Outside surfaces need spraying every two to four weeks. There are several good space sprays on the market for inside use. They contain lindane, pyre- , . . . . . , t h r u m a n d D D T . e i t h e r a l o n e o r in combinations. For best results, close windows and doors before spraying inside. Entomologists advise ordinary \ •' in which school buses were in volved. The greater proportion of school bus accidents were collisions with other vehicles in which there were the familiar circumstances of driving through stop signs, failure to yield right of way and improper passing. The most serious accident, the one in which there were twenty-seven injured, was a colllson with a bridge and it is understood that the matter of maintaining bridon secondary roads in safe condition has given much concern to school authorities. Despite several years of experience with an expanded pupil transportation program, there are still many motorists who do not understand that they must stop when approaching the school bus either from the rear or front, if the semaphore signal board is dropped to horizontal position. In 1951, twenty-six of the school hup a c c i d e n t s h a p p e n e d b e c a u s e motorists disregard this signal This is over 20 per cent of sll school bus accidents. This peculiarity of school bus operation IF one with which motorists mus* be thoroughly familiar and it 1? well to consider that in Addition to the twenty-six accidents there must have been a multitude of instances in which accidents were averted; many near-accidentr with screeching tires and lurchtittle Lady Toiletries precautions in using and storing insecticides. Always keep eating and cooking utensils and food covered when spraying in the kitchen. Store the spray out of reach of children. Wash hands after using it. Never use oil sprays on animals or on delicate plants knd shrubs or near open fires. i; ' ' JX" ' - Watts Klectricltf And ft you've ever run a comb through your hair and then used the comb to attract bits of paper, you'll recognize the principles of static electricity.

Taxes are high enough there right now bu$ will be several times higher if the selfish few win out. They did not win out when they tiled the same stunt while we resided there because several of the old time, year 'round residents like ourselves fought it and won. It was the old timers who lived there year 'round who gaye a big and very successful dance some years ago at the Fox (roller rink now), which paid for the blacktop road from where we lived at the corner all the way up the lake road to where Mrs. Scheubert lived then. The dance could not have been a success if the folks from Knollwood had not cooperated. We were all one happy community then, working hard to make it a better place to live and for our children to grow up and be happy in. We were the ones who got the school bus. That was a hard struggle but with the cooperation of Mr. Duker we finally got one bus. Today they have three. We always worked to improve the community, not to pull it down. Of course, the merchants and all the business places in McHenry and West McHenry cooperated in the success of the dance that made it possible for the blacktop ropd, from our ex-home to the end of McCullom Lake Estates lake road.
