The extent of these street and [^highway tragedies snuffing out She lives of promising boy* and :*WS of school age or younger, for inflicting injuries that may >cripple them permanently, is something every driver should know and always keep in his heart. In a single year approximately 4,300 school children under fifteen are killed and 215,000 are injured. Well over half of them die and an even greater proportion are hurt when struck by drivers who should be fully prepared ^ for sudden emergencies when children are in tue streets. The burden of caution rests ; squarely upon the shoulders of a driver who is approaching any child or a group cxf children on a street or highway. Children's actions are never predictable, although we have been able to train them in the ways of safety With some success. Usually it is When a flriver is going too fast to stop safely, or thinking of other things rather than the yery important job of driving properly, that he kills or injures One or more children ,of tender years. • The protection of police or adult crossing guards at school intersections has helped greatly In keeping accidents at these places to a minimum. School boy safety patrols also have helped. Most drivers obey the signals o<f these protectors of children and respect the ever-present need for alertness and slower driving in speed zones near schools or play t , * £ •' ** f-i: ' ' ' I * * ' " ? ?

To all drivers we commend the admonition:* "Always give .the kids a break." Red Cross March is Red Cross month in McHenry county and across the nation. The McHenry county chapter, serving more than 50,- 000 people in McHenry county, has volunteers in the field this month seeking contributions for the 1954 campaign. The money these neighbors are asking you to contribute will be used to provide welfare services for three million men in the armed services', for veterans and their families to give help to the victims of disasters, and to continue a training program designed to help prevent accidents and to provide care for disaster victims. "Your money alone could not make the Red Cross go," James J. Irving, Crystal Lake, chairman of the McHenry county fund drive, says, "and yet every dollar you contribute is helping others to help themselves." At present, classes in first aid are being held at the Ringwood Chemical plant, Ringwood, Pure Oil Co., Crystal Lake, Algonquin grade school and Lilymoor. Classes in swimming are active in both the Woodstock Community high school pool and the Harvard high school pool. An average f some ten to fifteen cases a day are being handlted in the Woodstock headquarters, many of them concerned with family problems of servicemen overseas, where illness or need of ihis presence have •been acute in the local communities AMONG THE SICK Henry Tomlinson underwent an appendectomy at the Woodstock hospital Monday morning.

Scientists have made tremendous progress in developing drugs that cure and prevent serious maladies, but they are still trying to solve the mystery of the common cold. The cold, as well as other respiratory diseases such as influenza, ustrep throat" and pneumpnia, is caused by some of the c o u n t l e s s v i - ruses that float in the air. The smallest living c r e a t u r e s known, they are drawn into the, nose, throat and* lungs by the air we breathe, and multiply in the cell linings. Many of the viruses have been isolated and -classified in the laboratories, but the common cold germ, thought to be the smallest of all, cannot be kept alive for study. Statistics show that the average person has two colds a year that cause half of the absences from work, and are responsible for a 120 million dollar annual loss In wages. It is paradoxical that there is no cure for this time-wasting annoying illness while serious respiratory diseases like pneumonia caa be arrested with such new drugs as terramycin. It's reassuring to know, however, that extensive research continues --by the National Institute of Health, universities and pharmaceutical laboratories--so soon the common cold may go the Way of other conquered diseases.
