Highway officials and traffic safety experts are urging that, if drivers' eyes can't be improved, the dangers can be made more visible. They are putting up reflective markers and signs that i give better warnings of hazards. after dark. In some areas they are putting in huge lighting, projects, although these are ex-' pensive and limited by highway j budgets. . i < Where possible, they are; enacting legislation that will | require motorists to slow down at night. In brief, they are taking all possible steps to reduce the nighttime fatality rate, which is now the single biggest causi? of deaths on the highways. Night driving danger will be a dead horse when efforts such as these to improve the track for motorists become. standard practices on every course.

Bertha Zekor Mrs. Bertha Zekor, 85, mother- in-law of Ernest Kamholz. formerly of McHenry, died Friday morning; Dec. 19. She had made her home with the Karnholzes in Oak Lawn for the past six months, but previously l i v e d i n K e n o s h a f o r t h i r t y years. She is survived by the one daughter, Anna Kamholz; two sons, Alvin of Kenosha and Edw a r d o f F t . A t k i n s o n ; n i n e grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. The deceased was a member of Faith Evangelical Lutheran church. Oak Lawn Services were held at 1:30 M o n d a y a f t e r n o o n f r o m t h e cemetery.

Only recently have safety organizations, traffic officials and the general public become aware that night driving dangers are probably ™e single biggest highway crash cause of all. Speed violations were a factor in 38 per cent of last year's 38,500 traffic deaths, according to National Safety Council tabulations. A drinking driver was involved in 30 per ,cent of all fatal accidents. Erroneous pedestrian actions such as crossing against signals, cross- ^•g in mid-block, and walking in the roadway accounted for 16 per cent of all traffic deaths last year. But far out in front of the pack is night driving danger. a factor in 54 per cent of all traffic fatalities last year. For every four drivers killed on the highway in daytime, 10 are killed at night. What can be dohe to put this Clark horse out of the running? Speed crackdowns, heavy law enforcement, and public education may suffice for the first three factors, but no one can stop the sun from setting nor make a driver's eyes see better at night.
