The little boy was on one side of a door, and as he went to open it, on the other side was a man opening the same door. The man was in the direct path of the boy; and as the boy's eyes went from the man's boots to the man's hip on which was draped a belt and holster complete with gun, his mouth dropped open and his eyes traveled slowly up-up-up, and the higher he looked the more his mouth opened in amazement, until his eyes reached the black cowboy hat. The boy stared never moving, with feet stationary as though glued to the floor. When his eyes reached the pinnacle of the man's height, he uttered with anticipation, "Are you a cowboy?" and the man sidestepped a little, replied "Yup", and as he took another , step or two to go by, the boy turned without moving his feet, to watch what must have seemed like a giant to a small boy. Who was this giant of a cowboy that really made the boy's day? He was Lawrence Schuerr, a former resident of Lilymoor, who resides just outside of Kingman, Ariz., with his wife Shirley, son Tom and father. By Alma Hueckstaedt, former columnist.

A two day stay brought back many memories of years spent in Lilymoor. 1 St. Petersburg, Fla., was the next stopover, with a four day visit with Don's aunt and uncle, the Carlls, and Aunt Agnes and Thelma. Especially enjoyed was "Safari Land", a game reserve where even the larger animals run free. Little Jason was thrilled with the animals, and shot every one with a "bang, bang". The ostrich amazed him so much that all he could say was "What a bird!" Throughout the trip, there was no problem getting gas. The closer to Chicago, the higher the cost. Many of the camping areas were almost empty, and traffic ^generally was light. Several stops were made on the trip home to check out molds and materials Marion needs for making her "antique" dolls.

But Sherill and Donald were first in lipe when the next purchaser arrived at 7:30 a.m. What we won't do for pleasure!

AUGUST 8.1»79 CTEP Summer Patrol Ends Captain James Murphy, District Two Commander of the Illinois State Police, Elgin, has released the C.T.E.P. (Con­ centrated Traffic Enforcement program) figures for the month of June. The program utilized 638 patrol hours with 1,132 enforcement contacts being recorded. Most common violations cited were speeding, 342; other moving violations, 173; and equipment and other miscellaneous violations, 601. Additionally, there were 14 motorists assisted, and 1 ac­ cident investigated, and 2 criminal arrests. According to the statistics, 1.77 enforcement contacts were issued every hour of C.T.E.P. patrol. C.T.E.P. was made possible through a grant obtained from federal authorities and the Department of Transportation. State Police officers are asked to participate in this program on their off-duty time and are compensated with the grant funds. C.T.E.P's goal is to reduce the number and severity of traffic accidents at specific locations and times where the Department of Transportation has indicated from the past experience that accidents are most likely to occur. The C.T.E.P. patrol locations in District Two were selected using Department of Tran­ sportation accident statistics in addition to the District Com­ mander and his staff's receommendations. During June, C.T.E.P. patrols in District Two en­ compassed specific problem areas in Lake, McHenry, DeKalb, Kane and DuPage counties. This ends the C.T.E.P. patrols for the summer. In keeping with the policy of the past, ^T.E.P. will probably starCagain in September and that Time the State Police will inform the public as to when and Where the C.T.E.P. patrols will begin.
