Her many friends in Lakemoor wish her a very speedy recovery. mirannMMM mill K Mike Vertucci returned to the AJcxian Brothers hospital Sunday for another operation on his eye. Mike wiis injured some time ago when a iiook from a conveyer caught un his eyelid. We sincerely hope \hat this operation will be the last one, and that the injury will be completely repaired. Mrs. Mary Kalemba wan one. of the happiest women ia the World on this Thanksgiving day. Mary had been a little upset (as any mother with a boy in the •fcrvice will understand) because she hadn't had a letter from her son, Walter, for some time. Imagine her surprise to have a phone call from him very early Wednesday morning, saying he Was coming home for the holiday and a few days' furlough. Needless to say, the finest turkey dinner was waiting for him. The Kalemba family had a very lovely Thanksgiving. Pfc. Wayne C. Kr*u» las been discharged from the hospital, where he spent the past .two months receiving treatments ifor a knee injury he received long ago. His family is very ftappy to hear he is recovering *cely. • . -- Mr. and Mrs. Claude F.

And speaking of birthdays, a belated happy birthday to Pauline Kalemba, who - celebrated her twelfth on Dec. I. Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Gustafson and daughters spent a very nice holiday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Johnson of Wheaton. It's a grand feeling to get together with tfee Xawily during the holidays. And here's a bit of news for the kiddies of this town. We have inside information that Santa Claus is going to visit Lalkemoor sometime soon, and he will be at the Lakemoor hardware store to listen to what you want him to bring for Christmas. I believe this is the first tmie he has ever done this in village so watch the Plaindealer for news as to when he Will arrive with his load of toys. The volunteer fire department together with the business men of the town, are all contributing toward a huge Christmas tree which will stand in the area formerly occupied by the annual carnival. This will certainly be a lovely sight when it is lighted from top to bottom. I'd like to remind the parents with children in St. Patrick's school, as well as those who attend the church, that the bake sale, sponsored by the Mothers club, will be held this Frida> from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Carey Electric store. Your donations and patronage will be greatly appreciated. At the rate that stork is doing business in this village, the first thing you know we are going to have to have a maternity hospital erected here. TJie latest member of the stork club is Pamela Gay Phi flips, who arrived Nov. 25, weighing 7 lbs. 02. On hand to welcome her home from the hospital will be her sister, Charlene, a n d her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Nontiand. Her mom and dad are Ruth and Ernest Phillips and her paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Piiiilips of Rochester, Pa. Another new arrival this week was Richard Charles Devereaux wlro arrived at the home of Jennie and Homer Devereaux of Lilymoor on Nov. 24, weighing 7 lbs. 3 oz. Richard will have two brothers to rough it with when he gets older. Bill and Steve. The maternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Kellogg of Conneaut, Ohio. The paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Clair Eagley, of West I Springfield, Pa. The two grandmister... mothers are expected to arrive this week to visit with the family and get acquainted witfe 4he new arrival.

The girls will well be remembered in this community as they attended the local grade school and the McHenry high school. More recently they resided in Los Angeles, Calif., where they attended the L.C.L.A. University. Mrs. Skelly was very pleased to hear the news as the Skellys have cared for them as their own for many yeafs. Ouh C6tn.Tiun.-ty was shocked to hear of the passing of Molly Liesek on Sunday, Nov. 30. Mrs. Liesek had resided at the Booster residence fpr a number of years and will be remembered by many who have seen her at the Charm House. In addition to her daughter, Jean Booster, she is survived by two sons, one living in Detroit and one in Chicago. The body rested at the Matz funeral home prior to burial Tuesday at Concordia cemetery. REFORESTATION The state Department of Conservation still has eigfat kinds of hardwoods and nine varieties of evergreens for sale for reforesting purposes, and will make spring delivery of these seedlings. Farmers and landowners desiring to purchase this stock should place orders promptly, according to E. E. Nuuttila, state forester, who expects the supply of some varieties will be sold out by Christmas. Order blanks and planting suggestions may be obtained from most county agricultural offices and from the Department of Conservation, Room 121 State House, Springfield. Basic Winter Driving Rules Released By Safety Council /. " • *'•» ' ' ' : • • & $ > i however, lower tlfkft fttijfrh&l speeds are a must on snow and ice. 5. Pump your brakes to slow down or stop. Jamming them on can lock the wheels and throw your car into a dangerous skid. 6. Follow at a safe distance. Keep well back of the car ahead so you have room to stop. Remember that without tire chains it takes three to twelve times as far to stop on snow and ice as on dry concrete. Other important findings by the committee, composed of thirty-three experts in fields of automotive engineering, law enforcement and traffic safety education, include the fgllowing: AM tires, except big truck sizes, are now made largely of synthetic rubber. Synthetic tires wear better, perform normally on dry or wet pavements and have other advantages. But on snow and ice they skid about 8 per cent farther and have 14 to* 35 per cent poorer forward traction ability than pre-war natural rubber tires. Special winter tires of twentyfive different types were tested for traction. The tests showed that while some tires gave improved traction under certain conditions over conventional tires, their overall improvement is not great enough to warrant less caution when driving on slippery surfaces. The same tests also demonstrated that special winter tire treads do not Brains plus chains equal iound advice on snow and ice! That is a streamlined summary of the many important recommendations contained in "Basic Wiater Driving Rules," a new booklet just published by the National Safety Council which sets down for the first time the results of eleven years of test research toy the council's committee on winter driving- hazards. The booklet is aimed at reducing the high death and accident rates resulting from inadequate traction and reduced visibility-- the major winter driving problems from November through February. Six basic rules ror safe Winter driving are offered:, 1. Get the feel * of the road. Try . yotir brakes occasionally, while driving slowly aiid away from other traffic, to find out just how slippery the road is. 2. Slow down. Adjust your speed to road and weather conditions so that you can. stop or maneuver safely. 3. Keep windshield clear. You must see danger to avoid it, so be sure your headlights, windshield wiper blades and defrosters are in topnotch condition. 4. Use tire chains on snow and ice. They cut stopping distances about in half, and increase starting and hill-climbing traction by four to seven times. Even with the help of chains, DR. HENRY FREUND _ OPTOMETRIST A1 136 S.

Describing tire chains as the best self-help avaiilable to the driver, the committee said reinforced tire chains reduce braking distances on tooth snow and ice about half, increase forward traction on ice about seven times, and on packed snow out pull conventional tires nearly four times. While most tests have been made on passenger cars, research in the last two years has been concentrated on the jackknife hazard to tractor semitrailer trucks on snow and ice. The report summarizes as follows: "It has become evident from this research that ' the best means of preventing jackknifing is to keep all tires rolling, in order to maintain steering ability and at the same time get maximum grip for slowing or accelerating, Due to increased traction provided, it was found that reinforced tire chains made jackknifing virtually impossible with a tractor semi-trailer combination on level lake ice at 20 miles an hour." The Council's tests were conducted last winter on frozen lakes and winter roads near Clintonville, Wis. They were under the direction of Prof. Ralph A. Moyer, research engineer, Institute of Transportation and Traffic Engineering, Univejl sity of California, who is chai* man of the committee, and T. t, • Carmichael, administrative engineer of the General MotoOB Proving Ground.
