The special gifts division, which has been soliciting gifts from Foundations, corporat ions and individuals, bfis received contributions totalling $269,000. Many local community campaigns are continuing throughout the summer months and in localities where no organized campaign is under way, volunteers are seeking leaders to head up drives there for an early fall campaign. Edward L. Ryersbn, president of the Chicago Educational Television association and chairman of the fund campaign, urged everyone to get behind this drive and do everything possible to achieve the goal as early as possible. "We are in need of capable leadership in many of our Chicago communities and suburban towns to insure the estaoushment of this much-needed educational television station on Channel , Volunteers are urgently needed to complete this task, so Jet us have the assistance of everyone in making tWs a success. CAUTION NEEDED BY MOTORISTS FOll ^ SOUTHWEST DRIVING The most useful bit o^ equipment that the motorists visiting the Southwest can bring along is a sizeable supply of caution, urges Chas. M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club. Auto fatalitiy rates in the region are among the highest in the nation. A disproportionate number of victims are people who may have survived extensive and complicated midwestern driving, but who are unfamiliar with the great open spaces. The worst accident factor is distance, combined with terrain, | warns the statement. Long stretches of open country are .conducive t<? "letting her out" to unsafe speeds. often deceptive, causing perienced cross-country to bite off more than they chew. What looks like an saajr straightway day's run of 300, 400, 500 or even 600 miles <m, the map usually produces us** expected hilly country, curry stretches, and other complications that put a motorist behind schedule. Then comes the temptation to race the clock or drive long after fatigue sets in, often dark on unfamiliar roads. Curve-speed warnings in southwestern states mean exactly what they say; there is no inflation of figures to provide a margin. If a curve sign says 29 miles an hour, the motorist who continues at 35 is likely to find himself skidding off the road. will be held at St. Charles on Aug. 16.

Since they've been carrying on a friendly argument for y^prs (over how much fertilizer to use per acre of alfalfa), I had to ask Hap what was going on. "Got my own crop in safely last week," he says. "And since Biff's boy is at the summer ^encampment of the National Guard, I figured the least I could do Was to help him out. After all," liajfcj went on, "there's no argument over how important the Natioiftl Guard is to all of us." « From where I sit, a fellow like me, who's too old to get in the Guard, can still vote, do a turn at jury duty, sad respect others' rights. Even a little thing like respecting a neighbor's right to hsve, say, beer or buttermilk at dinner i6 important if we want to keep America strong.
