In cooperation with the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women, many of the parishes of the McHenry area will observe Sunday, May 21, as Traffic Safety Sunday. In this connection, Rev. Fr. • Eugene Baumhofer, pastor of St. Mary's church, McHenry, is shown above blessing a car. Drivers will be admonished to apply Christian principles in theii* driving habits. "Love Thy Neighbor" implies courtesy and respect for the rights and lives of others behind the wheel of an auto as well as in other situations, the Council believes. They say the Fifth commandment, "Thou Shalt Not Kill," may be interpreted to mean, "Thou shalt not travel at such a high rate of speed,' nor disregard posted^ regulatioris which shall cause you to lose control of your vehicle and thereby jeopardize the life and soul of anyone in your path." Christians, because of these1 principles, - have a definite responsibility not only to their neighbors but also to themselves in this regard.-**' Pledges will be taken in many parishes by drivers to , endeavor always to drive carefully,. courteously, never to endanger their own lives nor the lives of others. A prayer for drivers will be distributed and the cars of those present will be blessed with the customary ritual of the church. Anyone desiring further information about Traffic Safety Sunday should contact Mrs. Esther Piner of Algonquin, McHenry deanery traffic safety cliairman of the DCCW.

Training, Obedience, Hunting & H©fel©^ijag Hundreds See Hospital As Fulfillment Of Dream Last Sunday, hundreds of friends of McHenry - hospital attended the dedication, and toured the new structure which opened its doors to the public on May i. --.^-v. • », ' pe* The dedication was the culmination of part of long range plan which promises local residents continued opportunity for hospital care withih their city. Realization of the entire plan will come only when the expansion is completed some years hence. A look at the record of patient care since the hospital's founding in 1956 reveals the need that existed and the part the hospital played in filling it. To many who viewed the attractive, modern hospital with eighteen beds and a maternity department, the task of providing adequate facilities may seem tc0 be solved. However, those who are closest to the effects of a booming population in the area realize that an ever increasing demand for medical care can be expected in the year ahead. Hospital officers have already begun to look ahead to the next three stages of construction, plans for which must be made even as completion of the first stage is accomplished. ' The total bed count of ninety is foreseen now as an1 insufficient number to take care of the great number who will need hospital care in this area by the time the program is completed. ^ CARRYING GLASS When carrying a large pane of glass, slit a piece of garden hose lengthwise and slip over the bottom and top edges to act as a grip.This will help prevent breakage and injury to hands. + F©r Lewest Prices + For Complete Selections + F@f wpisuu ®if!©pp + F@r Qyick S@lf=S©rvle@ Prescription department approved by American Apothecaries Assn.
