There are a number of reasons why we believe this should come about, most of them more important than our own, However, from the standpoint of the Plaindea:ler it- •sSTfT we have had good reason to--believe that publishing the names of violators of moving traffic regulations has been at least a deterrent to careless drjying habits in our community.. "Everyone likes to be able to express pride in being part of a city that is safety-conscious. Nevertheless, it is human nature to disregard driving rules OR occasion. • Living as we do in a time of prosperity, a fine will not so often discourage careless driving as the appearance of our name in print. The policy of printing names of offenders Jjas never been meant to embarrass the individual, but rather to encourage safe driving habits. Like the very laws so necps- Sary to this end, we believe the printing of names has served its purpose. It may not solve tlie entire problem, but has accomplished some good if it only makes us stop and think as we drive. The removal of Branch 3 « from our city also removes easy access to the names of violators. We will continue to ask for its return. MtHENRY GIRL NEW "COVER NOR Lynn Krebs, Popular MCHS Senior. Wins Top Office At Girls State ## With the approach of the July Fourth holiday, it is timely to recognize that during the month of June the illegal activities of "bootleggers" of "fireworks begin in Illinois. So profitable is this business that vendors can afford to pay a $50 or $100 fine whenever caught by the police and still continue to sell fireworks. The majority of them sell from a car on a highway or street and can safely drive away if they see a squad car approaching. Some openly set up stands on busy highway intersections. The most dangerous, probably are tffose selling to young teen-agers who fail to realize the danger of fireworks and who often resell to grade school children. Too often these vendors are literally selling blindness or bodily injury and do not seem to care. Public fireworks displays, handled by experts, are legal in Illinois and in the case of McHenry. local residents are provided with one. annually.

Holiday Hills Boy Struck By Bus Dies Of Injuries Saturday BOARD < APPROVES CONTRACTS FOR THREE TEACHERS (Continued on Page 8) Foresee New Hope For Return Of Branch Court The collision of a bicycle and bus just before noon last Friday, resulted in the death of a 10-year-old Holiday Hills youngster, Robert Neubauer.' Contracts were approved for three new teachers in the McHenry high school at the June meeting of the board of education. Mrs. Gaye Roland has been employed to teach English, replacing Miss Kern; Miss Helen Berkhoul is an additional teacher employed in the language department to teach French; and William Godshall is the new reading specialist. Since a specialist was first employed, a faculty member has served both Districts 15 and 156. However, the need became so great that the workload made it necessary for each district to employ its own. Jack Vick was appointed by the board as chairman of the driver training department. The policy of establishing department heads was undertaken for the first time last year, but none was appointed at that time for this particular phase of the educational program. All other department heads remain the same. The board accepted the resignation of Roy WiLlis, who has been employed as principal of District 15. Supt. Carl Buckner reported the first payment in taxes amounting to $459,400, which represents about 35 per cent of the tp.tal payment due. A resolution was passed establishing the fiscal year from July 1 to June 30. and Ray Page was appointed treasurer.

(An Editorial) New hope for the return of Branch 3 court to McHenry came last week with a statement by Judge Glenn Seidenfeld of the 19th Circuit Court that serious consideration was being given the matter. Judge Seidenfeld spoke before a meeting of county police chiefs held in McHenry. Until recently, our interest in its return has centered on the valuable time lost by a violator who fails to plead guilty to the charge against him. There are other repercussions from the new procedure which may well be more serious, and chief among them is a relaxation in apprehension of those who disregard traffic laws. Each time a police officer makes an arrest for the most minor traffic violation, he must travel to another court if that arrest is contested. Most often, because city police departments are limited' as to size, these officers must appear on free time. Or even more serious is the case of villages where police are not employed full time and it is necessary lor them to take several hours from regular work schedules to testify. Municipal officials have conceded that where violations are not serious, it is a temptation to "look the other way" rather than become in-1 r,a>'- Saturday and Sunday at , , j , , r i • • the Junior high school.
