ACCIDENTS ON RURAL ROADS ARE INCREASING Traffic accidents on rural, county and local roads iri Illinois are on the increase. In 1958, traffic fatalities on these roads increased more than 15 per cent and accounted for 67.4 per cent of all the persons killed on Illinois highways. In contrast, traffic deaths on primary state highways in rural areas decreased more than 22 per cent. Excessive speed o on rural county and local roads is one of the leading causes for their relatively high death rate. Motorists accustomed to driving on expressways and primary highways often forget that the higher speeds possible on the newer and better highways are extremely dangerous on county and secondary roads. Also, secondary roads often are not marked as well as the primary highways. And many county roads have not been adequately speed-zoned. Narrow bridges present another hazard. Although most of the bridges being built today provide for two lanes of traffic, many of the existing hridges in rural areas allow only one of today's wider cars to cross at a time. Another rural driving hazard is brought on by the drivers field of vision being reduced at intersections as the corn approaches maturity. Since rural Illinois highways are dotted with hundreds of intersections, countrv driving becomes increasingly dangerous as crops grow taller. Those who drive on county and local roads must remember to adjust speed to conditions. Allowance must be made for slow moving farm vehicles which travel rural roads in ever increasing numbers at this time of year. While the peace and quiet of the country offers a place of recreation and enjoyment for some folks, that same peace and quiet can masquerade and camouflage numberous unseen dangers. FAMILY REUNITED Joseph English of McHenry entertained his two sisters, Mi*s. Kitty Dodders and Mrs. Theresa Marchini, who were visiting here recently from Ireland and whom he hadn't seen for thirty-two years. Mr. English was born in Armagh, County Armagh, and came to America as a young man. This was the first time his sisters visited America. They left last week for their home in the Emerald Isle.
