Richmond road, McHenry. The "before" picture shows her in April, 1964, when she weighed 226. The "^ter" picture was taken in June of 1965 after she had dropped to 160 pounds. Although this isn't the end of the story, the major part has been accomplished. From a trim 125 pounds to a plumpy 226 was quite a jump in the per'od of five years. Using diets and doctors for the following nine years and getting no lighter, the next step was-the Wonder Lake Tops. From April, 106-1, to June, 19G5, sixty-seven pounds were shed. The wonderful success of the clu'l)".method inspired Dolores to start her own club here in McHenry. As many of the present. diet club members can state, "You can't do it by yourseHV'You have to resign yourself and accopt the fact you are1 not the only one in this position and the help of fellow members and the determinatiorif'of the club as a whole is the whole trick." Only the ones who have done it know the'yvonderful feeling of losing that extra poundage that's been so hard to lose or live with. With 24 more pounds yet to go to" reach her goal, she has Vtarted the W.L.S. Club (Weigh kess Soon) in hopes there will ba. .women in the same boat who need and want help. She welcomes anyone who has a true-desire to lose weight and may be reached at 385-0878. SET GOAL OF $33,000 FOR SEAL CAMPAIGN The theme of the 1965 Illinois Christmas Seal campaign, which opened on Nov. 16, is "Sharing to protect the Breath of Life," announced Mrs. Arnold Chesak of Huntley, Christmas Seal campaign chairman of the McHenry County Tuberculosis association. .Over 33,000 letters will be mailed to residents of McHenry county, asking them to share in the year-around effort of tuberculosis prevention and detection. A goal of $33,000 has been set; the statewide goal is $1,100,000, a 2 per cent increase of the 1964 campaign total. "This theme," Mrs. Chesak continued, "was selected because it portrays so vividly what the 1965 Christmas Seal represents, and it also points out that the fight against tuberculosis and respiratory disease is a community effort-- that everyone can share in this all-out war against man's old est disease." The only feller we know of, who got all his work done by Friday, was Robinson Crusoe Large Percentage of Auto Accidents Befall Young Drivers Youthful drivers, those under 25 years of age, represent about 15 percent of all licensed drivers in the country. Yet, they • were involved in more than 29 percent of all highway deaths and more than 25 percent of all non-fiatal mishaps in 1904. J Older drivonC~ThoseNm-er 65, were rfrvolved in 7.7 per ccnt of the l.ital crashes, anh^represent about 7 percent of the diiving population. Excessive speed was the number one killer in 1964, as It hqp, been for the past several years. A survey spokesman1 said that "the young'driver's desire for speed, coupled with a hick of maturity, makes this category the most dangerous on tha,.road." He poinled out that 'highway lunatics' can be found in any nr;o group, but the fact remains that the greatest percentage of them are under 25 years of age. The over-all 1984 highway death toll stands at 48,000, with'.' 3.840,000 persons injured. The survey covers a great number of factors, but as yoT no one has been able to prove statistically that the woman driver is more dangerous than the male. Such things as the number of miles driven by the female or the male are not contained in motor vehicle department reports. •--•Until this factor is decided, the woman driver can hffld her head high, even though her driving ability is criti cijjed by count less male drivers.

The Veterans of World War I of the U.S.A., Inc. are becoming increasingly alarmed over the lack of patriotism exemplified by the American public in general, and the lack of proper respect shown to our "National Anthem and National Flag. National--Commander Herbert M. Tlouser of the Veterans of World War I states that "men and women not only fail to stand at salute as our National Flag passes down the street during parades, which would signify to our foreign guests who might be present that we do not care, and when such events are telecast, are evidence to tfie enemies of our country that our citizens do not show proper respect to the flag of our country. When at assemblies .sports events, etc,, when the National Anthem is played, even though they stand while it is sung or played, many do not stand at attention. They visit among themselves, paying little or no attention, when they should be standing with their hand over their heart, or at salute, quiet and attentive." Houston further states, "The recent movement of draft evasions, draft card destruction, pr&tests against our national policy against Communism are the products of a lack of national patriotic concern." The American auto industry Uses some 460,000 bales of cotton, 2,500,000 bushels of corn, 22 million pounds of wool, 560.000 cattle hides, each year.
