Results of the election appeared in the April 4 issue of the Plaindealer. IDENTIFYING SIGNS FOPv SOLICITORS Recently, it was brought to this reporter's attention that youngsters in the community are soliciting funds for worthy causes. No complaint about that, but it was recommended by a reader of the column that such solicitors wear some sort of identification. A case in point was the recent solicitation of funds by the Boy Scouts. How m ich more impact the lads would have made had they appeared in uniform. Certainly the drive was worthy enough to wear the traditional trousers, cap, and scarf. In this manner, residents would be assured that the drive was truly being conducted by bona fide members of the various troops, and not by interlopers or rascals. We hope the point will be well taken in the future. DANCE TICKETS AVAILABLE Mrs. John (Dorothy) Cunningham, 3007 N.

GLEESON, past vice-president and trustee of the Cullom-Knoll association, Expressway driving is the easiest and safest drivingyou'll ever do, providing you knowhow. Without this knowledge, you may soon find out the hard way that driving on our highspeed turnpikes leaves very little room for error. Here are some questions on the subject, with answers from the National Safety Council: Q -- What's the proper way to enter an expressway? A -- Don't ever pull up to the end of the acceleration lane and stop. As you cruise down the entry ramp, keep to the right at moderate speed and check your side mirror for oncoming traffic in the expressway. Then accelerate. Obviously, you should never just blindly lunge out into traffic, but the safest way to enter the expressway traffic lane is at the same speed as the traffic •already in it. ' Q -- What if I don't want to go as jast as the minimum speed limit'.' A -- Then get off the expressway onto a slower road. Slowpoke drivers on an expressway are more dangerous than most speeders. Q -- What should I do if I miss my exit? A -- Go on to the next one. no matter how far this takes seeks a four-year term as village trustee. A five year resident of the community, he lives at 4701 W.

Never stop and back up, whether on the pavement or the shoulder. It's illegal and extremely dangerous . To avoid this problem, plan your trips well and make sure y ou know where you want to leave the expressway. 0 -- What should I do if J have to make an emergency stop' \ -- First.'pull completely off the pavement.Secondly, stay with your car. Help, from the police, road crews, or even a friendly driver, is likely to be there soon and a walk along an expressway can be long, lonely and very dangerous. Also, untended cars are often towed away quite promptly. O -- Do I have to -keep to the right except when passing'": 0'*-- Definitely. On two-lane expressway s it's the law . On three-or-more lane roads, the far-left lane is still for passing only, and you should let your speed relative «to the other traffic determine your place in the other lanes. Q -- Should I stop and give assistance when I see a stalled car? A -- Not unless it's obvious the other driver is in phy sical trouble. In all other cases, take note of a landmark, milepost or your odometer reading and report the car's location at the next toll gate or service area. If the stalled car/s not occupied. forget it.
