Fatal Accidents Four persons, three' of them members of one county family, died in a head-on collision of atitos on Rt. 20, two miles east of Rockford, Saturday afternoon. Victims of the tragedy were Lyle Gregory, 38, an electrician, his wife, Helen L. Gregory, 40, their son, Edward, 13, all of Woodstock, and William I. Pate, 21, of Clear Lake, Iowa, an airman who was enroute home to. spend Easter with his family. Phyllis Gregory, 12, only survivor of the accident, was taken to St; Anthony hospital, Rockford, in critical condition. A witness to the accident, who was following the Gregory car, said she saw Pate's auto swerve into the wrong lane just before the crash. The young lady, Ann Kopen, 21, of Belvidere, escaped injury when her car hit the wreckage of the other machines and landed in a ditch. Other witnesses said the Pate car had left a Belvidere tavern shortly before the accident occurred and that the driver had been swerving along the highway and forcing other autos off the road. The Gregorys had been on a pre-Easter shopping trip and were on their way home when the crash occurred. Services for the three were held at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon in the Woodstock Methodist church. Plane Crash Victim Fred Drummond, Jr., 33, a former Woodstock resident and son of Fred Drummond, Sr., vicepresident of the Electric Auto Lite corporation and general manager of the Woodstock plant, was reported as one of the persons killed in the TWA plane crash in Pittsburgh last weekend.

Industrial Arts Classes Limited PHONE 251 ilSnS. Green St. If#;! Plans are being made for annual Freshman night, which will be held later this month. Since registration for next year, along with the subjects desired, is the purpose of the special meeting, advance information on restrifctions in one of the most popular classess, industrial arts, has been given by the instructor, Virgil Prine. During the past several years the number of freshmen students requesting Industrial Arts (Shop) as one of their Elective subjects has exceeded the quota which the present facilities can accommodate. Student and parental interest in this department is welcomed; however, the tremendous increase in total school enrollment, coupled with the inability to expand the department due to shortage of classroom space, has given rise to this situation. It is needless to say that all concerned are fully aware that the foregoing condition is regrettable, but apparently no immediate solution to the problem can be \ effected until the new high school addition is built. In view of the above restriction, much time aiid discussion has been given to the adoption of a fair method as to what boys may take the course. The evening of freshmen registration, all boys . interested in taking shop will be requested to make a drawing from a box containing slips, which will designate whether or not the course may be taken by the particular individual. This procedure will take place for these boys prior to their registering for other freshmen subjects so that in the event a boy is unable to take shop, he will be able to fill out his subject program with less confusion and time. Unavoidable disappointments will no doubt occur because of the inadequate facilities previously discussed. However, the planned industrial arts department in the new addition will eliminate these restrictions. It is being planned that the industrial arts instructor will visit the schools in our area to give further information on this registration.
