True, the papers ^re full of facts of erring Boys and girls who run in gangs and cajuse mischief and many times, Hjeartaches. It is not our purpose - to generalize. Our chief concern Js with the group of young opie living in our own communy! _ It is mis reporter's opinion that a finer %roup of fads and lasses cannot be found anywhere. At Christmas, they unselfishly voted to donate money for the Yule party for the wee ones, because in the past, they themselves benefitted. We have many young folks who are gainfully employed and earn their own way, while furtherjjpg their education. Several others have had th6 opinion (hat they must serve time in the Armed Forces, and rather than wajt for the draft, they responded immediately. These young boys ar? learning trades which will benefit them and their families when they are mustered out. Still dthers are extremely talented, and are working, hard to make these God-given gifts pay fcff. \ The self-styled critics of our young people seem to fall into one of two categories--- (1) Those who have never raised any of their own, or (2) Have forgotten the peccadillos and escapades in their own youth. If memory serves ijne right, there was a generation 'of 'teen-agers that obtained quite an education Jrom spdakeasys* • The general theory is that our "in-betwieners" have it too easy, with movies, TV and planned recreation. fiy the same token, mother doesn't s<;rub clothes by hand, nor does-dad drive to work in a model-T.

Gene Johnson is well known in the village for his many generous gifts qf time, labor and materials in order to improve our own community.

Assistant Farm Adviser Don Chestnut revealed the number of entries for the 4-H show was the highest in history. For example, there were 293 dairy animals entered. Chestnut offered some suggestions to improve that phase of the fair. Award for the neatest alleyways maintained by a 4-H club was one suggestion. He said the young people didn't always keep the tents looking as neat as they should. Elimination of breeding stock from the auction of 4-H ani-. mals would improve the sale, he declared. Chestnut proposed strict compliance with the entry deadlines, saying it is unfair to those who have complied with the rules to permit a late-comer to exhibit. The safety exhibits at the fair grounds helped the county win a state safety award, he announced.

Waukegan Road McHenry 43J900 Deaths On Highway Is , Outlook For Drivers In '57 Fprty-three thousand deaths on the highway--a rate of nearly 120 killings a day--is the grim outlook for the nation's drivers in 1957. This prediction of the most disastrous year. yet for deaths, injuries and property loss, from automobile accidents is made by Arthur S. Johnson, director of the Institute for Safer Living. "We're heading for;'unbelievable carnage on the roads,'.' he warned, "an intplerable situation that demands ail immediate. mustering of all available fbrcies oif control to stop it." Johnson declared that action must be taken at once' on three "must do's"--widespread expansion and improvement in law enforcement, nation - wide compulsory driver training, and the building of more and safer highways. Only through these means, he said, will we be able to control the three types of drivers who cause the big majority of our accidents, the arrogant, the incompetent and the ignorant. 0 Law enforcement, he said, is one of our most effective, immediate stopgap controls, but is woefully short in manpower. The big stick jhas proved its value in accident control, but there just are not enough big sticks to get the bad drivers off the road before they kill. Every state and community must take immediate steps* to improve the quantity and quality of their policing forces and arrest drivers who disobey the motor vehicle laws. On driver training, there just is not any program now in existence thpt can be considered first cl^ss. Massachusetts has done one of the best jobs of any by controlling the commercial driving schools aftd by pushing the high school driver training program. There is a terrific need, Johnson said, to hurry up and get all motorists, the new and the old. skilled in safe handling of the modern, high-powered high-speed automobile. Tlie program of highway design and construction must be pushed with maximum production and the tax-paying motoring public must not get the idea fhat. there can be an end to the program. New highways do solve safety problems to the extent that know safety features are installed in their location, design and construction. Most disturbing aspect of the whole mess, Johnson declared, is that we can see no let-up in traffic tragedies as long as drivers try'.to match their skill and judgement at speeds too fast for conditions, as long as the pressures of vast movements keep the highways I'M GOING TO COLLI©! ! . . . and my own savings accounf will make sure I DO!
