I The minimum age to qualify for a driver's license goes from 16 to 18 years on Jan. 1, Secretary of State Paul Powell pointed out. - Persons 16 and 17 years of age may still obtain drivers licenses, but only if they have passed an approved driver education course, Mr. Powell said. This change in the law was enacted by the 1967 session of the General Assembly. No 16 or 17 year old will be given the driver's license examination unless he presents the official certificate showing that he has passed driver education, Mr. Powell emphasized. The certificates are issued to the approved schools by the office of the Superintendent of> Public Instruction. "Driver education has already proved its worth in Illinois," Secretary Powell said, "but in addition, it is now one of the federal government's recommendations for states'traffic safety programs to qualify them for federal funds for highway construction." Studies of Illinois drivers' records have shown that those young people who have passed driver education are involved in only half as many accidents and are arrested for traffic law violations only half as frequently as those who have not had the benefit of this instruction, Mr. Powell said. Traffic safety experts are agreed that there is a direct relationship between traffic law violations and accidents which can result in injuries and deaths, Secretary Powell said. of Lily Lake, with that community ceasing to exist as an incorporate village with the passing of 1943. ^ TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of D^r. 11. 1958) Miss Karen Schmelzer, Rt. 4, McHenry, was named a national winner in the 4-H beautificatiori of home grounds program at the 37th National 4-H Club Congress held in Chicago.
