Also at the meeting tonight, Fran Fuqiia will be installed as our new treasurer; this vacancy having been created by Bernadine Grist moving out of the community. This, as you know, is an appointed office. Again, may we list the two nominees thus far for the office of a member of the board of directors. They are Herb Rose and Stan Walezynski. Nominations will also be accepted from the floor this evening. We would also like to make mention of the fact that five loads of gravel were spread on our roads last Saturday. This was done to fill what holes we eould on Dennis Boulevard. Grandview Drive and a portion of Oakleaf Drive. The men who again gave so generously of their time and efforts wex-e M e s s e r s . J o h a n s e n , K i m b r c . Jerry Olsen, Magmus Olson, Sabby and Simmons. So, now, don't forget. We'll see you at the meeting tonight at 8:15 p.m. at the public school. Huge Success (e did it before! We did it again! Yes, through the very wonderful co-operation and hard /work of a great number of people, the recent rummage sale w^s the most successful eYer. An orchid to the following: To Verne Jost for the use of her h-irr.e plus all her efforts: tn T,U Davis and Bernice Fry for their planning, organizing. e'<" : to Maree Farlevand LaVerne Noah for their daily efforts, plus all the ladies who donated the articles, plus all the people who purchased them. If we had this sort of co-operation on every pioiect wouldn't the community really be a booming one. /Louisville, Ky., to visit her fiance, David Walitzer, who is stationed at Fort Knox. Judy tells me that the base is just beautiful and the hospitality was the greatest. She also had an opportunity to visit the tnint which is an impressive marble building; but since there is a six foot high fence surrounding it, she didn't bring any samples. Needless, to say she thoroughly enjoyed her visit and I'm sure the best part of it was just seeing Dave again. Weekend Traveller Judy White, daughter of Jean and Harvey Garber of Oakleaf Drive, spent a recent weekend making a trip to Long Planned Trip Dolores and Don Gerstein planned and saved for three years to take their trip. With the children, Kathy and Donnie, in the reliable care of our Mrs. Spindler, they departed on a Saturday morning for Canada. One big stop was in Syracuse, N. Y.. where they visited with Dolores' brother and his family. Dan and Jackie Watson, and son, Michael. From there they went on to Niagara Falls. Thence on to Toronto. From Toronto to Orangeville and on to Brampton where they, for the first time in their lives, tried five pin bowling. Both Dolores and Don being avid bowlers, this seemed like iuite a challenge. I'm told 'hey had a real ball and thoroughly enjoyed the game; howover it wasn't until later that Don learned he had goofed up his standard bowling style and ;s still trying to get it back. From Brampton they proceeded on uo to the Georgian Bay where they visited the scenic raves and saw the tow lifts. They weren't able to ride them though, since they only operite in the summer months and for the skiers in winter. They returned home via Detroit with a stop at Benton Harbor, Mich. With a full week like that, it must certainly have been worthwhile planning ind saving for" so long. Special Visitors The Noah family has long been anticipating the arrival of Kelly's mother and sister, La- ^ance Schulting and Kathryrt Haggard, from San Francisco, Ca'if. This anticipation was fulfilled last Sunday evening when they finally got here. They1 spent all day Monday oatchmg uo on all the news and then on Tuesday LaVerne and Kelly drove them to Ga- 'ena. 111., where they visited La Ranee's brother. Cyril Schulting, and from there on to East Dubuque, to visit her 'ither brother, Mike, on his farm. The children, Debbie, Donm. Diane and David, really lived it up while there. They did everything there is to do on a farm from feeding all the animals to riding all the farm machinery. The Noahs returned home on Wednesday, but Kelly's mother and sister stayed on for the remainder of the week, when they will return to our small- community to spend the remainder of their vacation here in our midst. We are all looking forward to meeting them. Sick List Looks like that darned old flu bug is back again. Ye gads! Looks like I'll be on my usual merry-go-round if it hits here any worse. Stan and I have both been fighting it off, and the kids are all coughing a little. Hope we can keep it down to just that. There are others who weren't so fortunate. My mother, Laura Holtfodt, was mighty sick with it: as was Velma Stephans. Mr. Kimbro was sick in bed with it for three days. Oh, yes, and I heard that Helen Wegner has it too. No doubt there are many more I- don't know about, but here's wishing all of you .the speedy return of your health and a good, healthy winter. Scouts News Alice Bieschke's Troop of Girl Scouts met again this Thursday. This troop has not yet been assigned a number, so until they get one I'll just have to call it Alice's Troop. Alice is leader, with Sylvia Von Obstfelder as her co-leader. They have, as of this date, thirty-two girls. Because of the large troop, they have six committee women instead of the usual three. They are Pat Brennan, Loretta Kern. Betty Lr.kowske, Marie Karstens, Louella Schultz and Joan Stull. At Thursday's meeting the girls elected Linda Hosier as permanent treasurer, and Margaret Moore as permanent scribe. They then set up four patrols of eisrht cirls each and each patrol elected its own patrol leader and assistant leader. The names of the four pa trols are: Daisy Patrol; Eager Beavers; Green Royalties; and Gveeh Fillies, the patrol leaders will take turn being president each week and running their portion of the meeting.

Please call me with your news and I'll see you at the meeting tonight. 'Bye now! ENFORCE LAW C. W. Peebles, chief law enforcement officer of the Motor Carrier of Property Section of the Illinois Commerce commission, advised all of his investigators to start arresting forhire carriers who fail to display current •franchise decals on their vehicles. The directive was sent to the section's fifty investigators. The Drivers Seat Switching traffic lanes at the last minute to make a turn can be a terrifying as well as hazardous experience. Often a motorist finds he is in the wrong lane to turn because .he did not know far enough in advance that his intersection was next. If the traffic is heavy he is lucky to avoid a sideswipe or rear-end collision. A common-sense way to avoid such accident-breeding situations is the erection of advance street name signs that tell a motorist 300 to 400 feet ahead of an intersection what the cross street is. Riverside, Calif., has been using such signs since 1957. They are credited by the city traffic engineer, William Fly, with being "greatly responsible for reducing potential accidents at main intersections." The city has erected the signs, which have white letters on a green reflective background, above the median strip of all four-lane highways. For two-lane streets, the signs are mounted on existing light standards or on seven-foot poles that span the sidewalk. Measuring an average of 18 inches by four feet, the signs are large enough to be seen by motorists well in advance of m a j o r i n t e r s e c t i o n s , g i v i n g them plenty of time to get into the proper lane if they want to turn. | Advance street name signs are being Used or tested in scores of communities and counties. St. Louis County, Mo. is one place where they have been erected on an experimental basis. Daniel Hanson, county traffic comm i s s i o n e r, says eventually about 300 might be installed. . The signs, installed in rural areas, are mounted beneath d i a m o n d - s h a p e s y m b o l s i g n s about 300 feet ahead of important intersections to tell the motorist the type of junction he is approaching. We say, "Hoorah!" Such common-sense traffic controls should be praised -- and used.- The state of Washington is going all out to protect its children going to and from school. It has formally adopted a new kind of school sign that stands out "like a sore thumb" and automatically slows down cars. The signs were first used in Seattle. Their impact on motorists so impressed the city's traffic engineer that he gave his support and help in moving the proposal for high visibility signs through the Governor's Safety Conference in the fall of 1960. O t h e r g r o u p s , r e c o g n i z i n g the value of the protection afforded by these signs, also adopted the program. Then W. A. Bugge, director of highways, directed that for school area signs, all cities, counties and highway districts in the state use the markers, which are made of a fluorescent orange color similar to that used on military airplanes to make them visible from tar away. It is estimated that 75 per cent of all school area signs in the state are now coated with the new material. This new type school sign also is being erected throughout the state of Virginia. Ten thousand will be guarding New York - city school children before the end. of the current term. At least 250 other communities around the country -- including twenty-four in the Chicago suburban area -- have installed them. If you're seeking a new look in traffic signs, keep your eyes peeled for orange. It seems to be a sign of communities that want to give future citizens the, best protection from traffic hazards. ® One out of each 10 National Geographic Magazines printed goes to California. •*> The timbers from the Mayflower were used in building a home in England, which is still standing. & RUDY BECKERS fflfe KENNELS 1 Mile East of the Skyline Drive-In V. • Phone EVerqreen 5-2436 STUD SERVICE ...
