Thursday, August 22, 1963 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Page Flftee||. Plstakee Highlands FAMILY RETURNS FROM TRIP TO SEVEN STATES MMJ BleDacti HYatt 7-S414 Aug 10 was a eery sad day for Dick and Mary Lou Sabielny and their three sons, Tommy, Jimmy and Danny, for it marked the end of their two week's glorious vacation and back to reality. They toured Indiana, camped in Cumberland Falls, saw the mountain range in Kentucky, and Penny Rile Forest State park in Kentucky. While in the Smoky mountains, they saw twenty-four bears, some of which made their one day real exciting when they surrounded the car and stood up peering in the Sabielny car windows. They toured North and South Carolina, the edges of Georgia and Alabama. They all enjoyed visiting an Cherokee Indian reservation, and enjoyed the ritual dancing and full regalia of their native? dress. The boys were thrilled to shake hands with real Indians. It will be a trip they will all remember. They had recently purchased a camper trailer, and they are eagerly looking forward to another and longer trip next year.

URGE MOTORISTS TO DIM LIGHTS ON MEETING CARS Experts in the field of traffic safety have long urged motorists to dim their lights when approaching other cars. John Weichmann, safety traffic officer, notes that many drivers do not comply with this safety measure. "Not only is this a suggested safety precaution, it is the law" advises officer Weichmann. Illinois law specifies that headlights be dimmed when approaching another vehicle from either direction when the other vehicle becomes within 350 feet. This distance can be more readily interpreted in terms of a city block. When conditions permit it is suggested that lights be dimmed at even a greater distance. What is accomplished by returning your lights to the upper beam when an approaching driver has failed to lower or dim his? "Nothing," say» Weichmann, "you are merefcr compounding an unsafe practice. When this happens, con-( centrate your attention on theright hand side of the road to minimize the effect of the glare.' This is an occasion where courtesy and self-control tends to escape us and could lead to disasterous results."
