^Thursday, August 16, 1962 THE McHENRY PUklNDEALER PageEleven State Acts To Halt Illegal Use Of Go-Kart Type Vehicles Police authorities in cities and counties throughout the State have received special notice from the office of Secretary of State Charles F. Carpentier, reminding that legal operation of motor vehicles on public thoroughfares requires that they be registered with the state and display license plates. At the same time, the driving public was warned th&t *\#nall motor vehicles of the go-kart type cannot, in most cases, be legally operated on public thoroughfares. This is especially true for those under the age of 16 since the Drivers License Law requires that all operators of motor vehicles hold valid driver licenses. With few exceptions the state will not issue license plates to go-karts and similar vehicles because they do not meet the requirements of the law which requires that all motor vehicles be equipped with brakes on all wheels, with front lights visible at least 500 feet and with signal devices for indicating the intention of the driver to turn to the left or to the right. Since most go-kart types of vehicles do not <jj*ave this kind of equipment, their operation on public thoroughfares by anyone, whether or not he holds a valid driver license, is illegal. New Status Symbol Among Few Not For Sale In State In just the last few years the driving public has become rtiore and more aware of green and white signs scattered here them in rural areas. They represent a new status symbol •merging' across Illinois, and it differs from most other' sym- - 0}ols because it cannot be purchased. -- it has to be earned. A tree farm is just what the name suggests -- a place Where trees are grown as crops. The privilege of displaying one of the symbols is reserved to private forest landowers, End before they can put a tree farm sign on their property they must first demonstrate their ability to manage their lands in a way that will assure repeated crops of trees. The American Tree Farm System is coordinated nationally by American Forest Products Industries, Inc., of Washington, D.C., the forestry education arm of the woodusing industry. A number of forest products companies finance AFPI and indirectly bear the cost of managing the Mree farm programs. Their efforts are not without benefit, nowever, for tree farming assures them of a continuous supply of wood for turning out the 5,000 wood products used in every-day life and maintaining jobs for more than 1.3 million full time employees across the nation. Seat Belts Must Meet High Standard For Severe Crack-ups Safety experts are usually in agreement that seat belts in cars are one of the greatest boons to the saving of life ^that have come along in some time. However, they caution motorists that in a severe crack-up the belt had better be one which meets approved standards. A recent testing program on six exact duplicate samples of each of numerous nationally known brands, ranging in price from $4.95 to $12.95, revealed that many belts on the market failed to deliver the protective capacity expected. These tests were designed to explore the potential life saving qualities of the belts by exposing them, to forces that would exceed the stress developed under average crash conditions. In the test to find out if the belts would fail before peaching the accepted standards of strength set by the Society of Automotive Engineers, a minimum loop strength of 4,000 pounds, some broke before reaching the mark. Buckles, also a major source of concern, failed in some cases to meet consistent standards. These tests checked to make sure that a 250-lb. person suspended in an overturned auto could open the buckle with finger pressure not exceeding 45 lbs. It was found that some buckles had poorly made parts and were defectively assembled. The thii'd requirement is that the belt webbing does not stretch more than 25 per cent under 2,500 tensile test load. Some belts failed to meet slippage limits, which according ^to safe standards must not exceed one inch at 4,000 pounds of stress. How can the car owner determine which belt will give him protection in an emergeny? One expert lists a number of .qualities to look for when making a selecion. He says to be sure the original container shows the manufacturer's commitment that the belt assembly meets SAE standards; buy belts made by well known and reputable companies; and buy to exact specification. All models made by the same company may not meet approved safety standards. 4-H King-Queen How Can I ?

First let It dry partially, then press out the creases in the crown. Next turn down the band and place the hat in some eool place away from any heat, and let it dry thoroughly.

If a glass stopper persists in sticking, revolve the neck of the bottle slowly in the heat of a burning match or cigaret lighter.

Test the effect of this treatment first on a hidden place on the furniture. Q. How can I make an emergency ice-pack for a small bruised or inflamed area where a regular ice bag would be too bulky? A.

President Hoover never used any of the money paid him as salary during tenure of public office--he turned it over to charity. DEAR DAN: My parents and I just can't understand why you think it's improper for a girl to invite a boy over when there's no one at home. After all, my parents trust me • Completely and I would never do anything to cause them worry. My boy friend comes over all the time when my parents are out and if we don't watch television, we dance or play cards. What harm is there in that? Sometimes your answers just don't make sense. -- Judy. DEAR JlTDY: There's no harm in you sitting in a tavern and sipping a soft drink either but do your parents allow you that privilege? I'll bet your parents are the type who would scream to * high heaven if you wanted to attend an unchaperoned dance. It isn't proper for a teen-age couple to be alone in a Chouse and that's all there is to it. I, DEAR DAN: I met this boy while I was visiting my aunt last summer and we had a wonderful two weeks. We haven't written in several mpnths but would it be all right to clrop him a note now and tell him I'll be seeing him again this • summer? -- Anxious. DEAR ANXIOUS: You don't know whether or not the boy's going steady or if he even still lives in the same city. Wait until you make your visit and if he wants to see you, he will. DEAR DAN: I don't want you to think I'm bragging but I've got the best figure of any girl at school and I'm t* proud of it. I like to wear nice clothes, especially sweaters and skirts but here lately two of the teachers have been bawling me out because they say I look too advanced for my age. I'm 15, by the way. I can't help it if I'm attractive and to hear the teachers tell it, I'm not a lady. The boys don't seem to mind but some of the other girls are jealous. Do you think the teachers have a right to tell me how to dress? -- Soph. DEAR SOPH: They do if they believe a girl has gone overboard in her styling. Your sweater and your skirt may be just a little too snug for what the teachers consider good taste and if I were you, I'd take their remarks in the ^spirit in which they were given -- constructive criticism. DEAR DAN: My girl says she lost my class ring but two of my friends say they know she gave it to a boy from another school last week. I ddn't want to call her a liar but I would like to get the ring returned because my parents would blow up if they knew the truth. Should I tell her what I've been told and see what she says? -- E. N. DEAR E. N.: Perhaps if you know the name of the boy your girl is supposed to have given the ring to, you can contact him and see what he has to say. If the story is true, your girl isn't a lady. DEAR DAN: Your ideas about girls of 13 not dating Vare all wrong. I know of several girls right here in my neighborhood who are dating with their parents' approval. Their boy friends are 17, 18 and 19 and they're all nice guys. My mother and father think as yoU do and I'm beginning to wish I had never been born. I have to sit at home on weekends when all my friends are out. Won't you change your mind a little? -- Grounded. DEAR GROUNDED: Sorry but where girls of 13 and 14 are concerned, they have no business dating. The parents of your friends will regret their dtcision» ai> Mill their daughters..
