Here again the town of McHenry not only produces its' share but it does far better than that. Of all the traffic-ridden little burgs in j this entire midwest, from the stand- I point of these deadly blind corners, McHenry is guilty of maintaining the largest number I've ! ever seei^in nearly a quarter million mif^s of driving. I say maintaining, and this is what makes it so criminal and tragic. For with the exception of one, all the blind corners in this town are caused by parked vehicles. As simple as that! It's not necessarily the guy ;• who can't walk a half a block for | a short snort and who feels he' must park his heap half way out' on the highway next to the corner i tavern, thereby completely block- j ing vision for any motorist ap-1 proaching the intersection, but it's [ the law or' lack of it which per- I mits his parking in this vital field of vision. I den't like the feeling that I'd be safer if, instead of fol- ; lowing orthodox procedure when j approaching a corner, I'd run up a j thirty foot signal flag, ring a sea- i bell, wait thirty seconds, put my ' hands over my eyes, jump the j clutch and scurry out across the speedway in the hope of living j 'till tomorrow so I can experience 1 this exquisite thrill all over again.
