They come to a legislative body THE HOLIDAY TOLL (An Editorial) Vv Traffic accidents killed more Americans .Idst yfear than ever before and the latest report is that law enforcement officials throughout the nation are turning to get-tough policies to cut down the mounting toll. There was a 5 per cent rise over 1955, and safety {experts estimate the total will run more than 40,000. The previous high was in 1941, when 39,969 were killed. Locally, both the Christmas and New Year holiday weekends were without highway fatality. In the county, .too, not a life was - lost, although a few persons were injured in accidents. _/ In states which had fewer traffic fatalities in 1956 than 1955, credit has beep given largely to rigid enforcement .of safety measures. Where they increased, similar measures are • planned for the future. Among tfie most important of several plans considered for adoption are proposals for increasing the nunjber of police patrols on. highways', new laws or harsher enforcement of existing laws calling for suspension of licenses, or fines and imprisonment, and establishing state speed limits where they are not already in force. The joy of the two holiday weekends was marred by unnecessary death for 1,115 persons and the untold number who were included among their family and friends. Those whose chief worry is future wars might do well to .devote their interests to halting the mounting highway toll --. a problem which is much more within the scope of the average individual and one which is second to none in the number of lives lost. , edwXrd j. knox BURIED IN McHENRY CEMETEHY FRIDAY DIED IfEC. 26 r Last rites were conducted Friday morning at St.' Thomas church, r Crystal Lake for Edward J.

Perhaps elements of the tax set-up has changed, the tax percentage brackets being the same as for the last two years. Any producer who intends to plant corn in 1957 on a farm where there was no corn acreage during the years 1954, 1955 or 1956 must apply for a corn allotment if he wants price support on his farm in 1957, Bert Bridges, chairman of the McHenry county A.S.C. committee, said this week.

Everybody takes them for granted. Same way with playing cards'-- they're part of our everyday life and we don't often -- *-• give them a thought S i n c e ' they're so familiar, it ought to be easy to answer a few s i m p l e questions about them, don't you think? Let's try. 1. Are the center pips (the suit symbols) on the four acei all the same sire? 2. Do all the pips on the 3 of Spades point in the same di- „ rection? The 5 of Clubs? 3. How many one-eyed Queens are there? 4. How many one-eyed Kings? 5. How. does the King of Heart* . differ from the other three "Kings? 6. How man]/ Kings sport mu»- taches? 7. Do all or any of the Queens hold flowers? 8. Are there small pips in all four corners of the face cards? If you want to make a party game.? of this--and it isn't a bad icebreaker- - at that--offer a small prize for thi. i . best set of answers. The likelihood is that nobody will get a perfect jj) score. Or better still, give your guests three minutes in which to;t.- study the face cards before you asli||: ^ the questions. ^ And for the losers; if it's an^fV| consolation, remind them of hovfr M hard it is to get corresponding re-J^Jr ports on a traffic accident from twev ^ or more eye-witnesses! Here are the answers: '• .(•& J. The center pip on the Ace o/£&r Spades is always larger than the others. During the 18th"*1 Century, English government had the card manufacturers submit the Ace of Spades from each deck to the government engraver to insure thit the required tax was paid.' In lieu of' a tax stamp, the engraver created such an elaborate center scroll that this card came to be know as "Old Frizzle." 2. Check this with your own ' deck, if you've never noticed. 3. Tftere are no one-eyed Queens. 4. One-r-the King of Diamonds. 5. The King of Hearts holds his sword behind his head, while the others hold theirs upright. 6. All but the King of Hearts, who is clean-shaven. 1. All hold flowers, but in addition the Queen of Spades holds a kind of sword. 8. No--only two.
