In addition to the classes it offers, the U.S.P.S. cooperates with governmental agencies and the armed forces through annual visits of the educational department to Annapolis and* New London work with the coast ad geodetic survey in the drafting of charts and national consultations with governmental bodies to the end that boating may become a safer recreational activity.

Miss Rosenberger, who has many friends in McHenry, is the last of her small family. A keen sense of humor was characteristic of the petite lady even after her ninetieth birthday, and until recent years she maintained an interest in happenings of her home community. She was born Jan. 12, 1864, and ^as resided in the community for eighty-five years. Her father operated a barber shop in a building on east Elm street for many years.

DRIVER EDUCATION FUNDS Ray Page, state Superintendent of Public Instruction, has released figures showing the amount of funds due to each of the 625. school districts which participated in the 1962-63 driver education training program.. McHenry county schools receive a total of $36,660.34, of which amount McHenry was scheduled to get $7,183.40. and a good, safe engineering project will counteract anything they might do behind the wheel. It is always too late when they learn the truth! If the prediction of a described cosmopolite of the years before World War I had come true, American highways today would resemble a grotesque. pinball machine. Even had this come- true (and it may someday) it is doubtful if the traffic toll would not be high. A man by the name of Raymond Cummings in 1914 suggested and predicted that electric lights would bo built into highways some day, and thai these lights would come on as a car approached and then turn off after the car had passed. His idea has come to pass only to the extent that highways today use overhead lighting and striping of reflective T^aint so that lanes and center tes can be seen at night. However, the experts caution us not to laugh too" hard at Mr. Cummings' forty-year-old idea, for engineers are right now testing lights built into a roadway. Ope--stretch of the New Jersey Turnpike has fog problems, "^nd as a possible answer, airport mnding strip lights are being built into section of the road. A trail of lights will shine green until a vehicle passes over. Upon contact, the lights will turri^red as a warning to following motorists. When th^ first car is far •enojjgh ahead, the lights will turn green again so that another car can follow the trail of lights through the fog. It would seern that Mr. Cummings made orily one mistake -- he was too far ahead of his time. Now sonifii ne has facetiously suggested that in the current test of lighted highway, if there's an accident a great big sign should light up and say "Tilt." of the people taking the classes were from the McHenry vicinity. For this reason, and the fact that McHenry is the scene of a great deal of boating activity, it was decided to hold these classes at the local high school. It is hoped that these classes will become an annual evening course at the high school. Anyone interested in taking this free course should be present Tuesday, Feb. 4, at 8:00 p.m. Not many couples can boast ^f sixty years of married life, and of those who can, not many pass the milestone with the happy outlook and zest for living enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs. Mike Freund -of--- Richmond Road.

A. #5/ COUNTY HEALTH ORDINANCE OF '63 AMENDED (Continued from Page 1): better idea of the functions and work-load of the department. Announcement of permits issued for building in December of 1963 compared to the previous year disclosed a drop from 60 to 56. In connection with Motor Fuel Tax payments, the Department of Public Works and Buildings has issued a statement containing mileage tabulations in the various townships. McHenry lists 68.90 miles, or 9.87 per cent of, the eojinty total. The MFT payment for McHenry township in November totalled $1,191.94, highest in the county. MOTORISTS HURT i*1 IN AREA CRASHES DURING PAST WEEK Edward Samen of 412 LJIy Lake road, McHenry, was treated at McHenry hospital for cuts and bruises sustained when his auto was involved in an accident on Rt. 120, a mile east of the city, about 3:45 Tl. Sheriff's police said Samen was driving east of the highway when the car went out of control as he rounded a curve. The vehicle left the shoulder of the road and rolled over in a ditch. s The driver was charged with possession of open alcoholic liquor in his auto. Axel T. Johnson, Jr., of 2620 W. Sutton Court, McHenry, was taken to McHenry hospital last Thursday morning following an accident in which he was involved, on Griswold Lake road, a mile south of the city. Johnson told authorities the road was icy as he rounded a curve and came to a downgrade. The auto went out of control and began to skid, striking a guard-rail. He was~ taken to the hospital by a passing motorist. The preceding night, Lynn Callender of Pistakee Highlands was injured, but not seriously, when she lost control of her car as she drove on m. 12, a half mile south of Johnsburg road and the Wilblaektopi* The vehicle went into a skid, and as the car went over a hill the-driver struck her head.

SEAL CAMPAIGN IN NEED OF MORE CONTRIBUTIONS Thursday, January / . The Christmas Seal campaign is running somewhat behind last year. "On this date last year, we had received $18,- 607.19, in comparison to $18, 297.01 for 1963," said Mrs Claribel H. Naylor, R..»N., of the McHenry County Tuberculosis association. Several thousand reminders are being sent to contributors this week. The association feel: it will attain the goal of $23,- 000 in view of the fact thai the x-ray program has been enlarged. In December the Mobile X-ray unit visited about half of the county's industrial plants, in addition to the monthly visits to Woodstock. The remaining industries will be done next year. The people of McHenry county seem to appreciate the program of mobile chest x-rays and it is hoped that they can be increased even more. This will only be possible by contributions to the campaign funds. Mrs. Naylor further pointed out that the Christmas Seal campaign is the drity method the association has of raising funds, and receives revenue from no other source. She emphasized that it is not too late to answer the Christmas Seal appeal. The total campaign fund was $21,282.41 last year.
