Reserve that day for a good time with the Griswold Lake Athletic club at their annual dance to be held at Casey's. See any one of the fellas for tickets, but don't irr ss out on a really good time. CUB SCOUT NEWS PACK NO. 458 The monthly pack meeting for Cub Pack 458 was held on Monday, March 25, at the VFW Post 4600 in McHenry. The big event of the evening was the annual Pinewood derby. This is the event the boys look forward to eagerly each year. To those not familiar with the event, it goes as follows: the boys must construct a small car in the fashion of an Indy type racing machine from a block of wood and other small pieces from an official, pinewood derby kit. Due to the fact that not all boys are handy with carving tools, this project is designated as a father and son project. With the father helping his son to come 19 with something other than a plain block of wood, it eliminates a lot of disappointed young men if all these cars are pretty much the same. When the great day arrives, theCubmaster and committeemen set up an inclined track, 32 feet long and with' eight lanes. Through a series of heats, run in each den, and a gradual elimination, the field is narrowed to three cars who will finish up as Grand Champion, second and third place. A prize is also ^warded fty workmanship. There are first,• second and third prizes in each den and each boy who enters receives the official pinewood derby ribbons. The following are the results of the great race:Grand Champion, John Emerson, second champion, Glen Exline and third chanpion, Ricky Connell. Appearance awards went to Glen Exline, Jim Mullins and John Emerson. Den No- 1 first, John Emerson, second, Tim Hughes, third, Jim Mullins. Den No. 2 first John Boettcher, second, Tom Lundelius, and third, Kurt Teuber. Den No. 3 Ricky Connell, second Tom Hughes, and third Derek Christy. Webelos first, Glen Exline, second, Roy Breede and third Keith Teuber. We believe that a fine time was had by all the boys. The only regret is that more young fellows and parents do not take advantage of this fine organization. Lest we forget, two of the most important people there that night were the judges, Dave Hanson and Jim Harper. Awards for scouting were also presented to the following GOVERNMENT BOARD MEETS INROCKFORD The local Government Board Selection commission will hold a meeting April 1$, 10 a.m., City Hall Council chambers of Rockford.

BREEDES SEE HOLIDAY HILLS FROM AIR Had Breede and son, Roy, spent an enjoyable afternoon, recently, seeing Holiday Hills and the surrounding area from a loftier view. A long time friend took them for a ride in his new plane. They left Gait airport and after circling over the area they flew to Rockford. where they had lunch and then returned to Gait again. They tell me it looks beautiful from up there. SUMMERTIME????? Can summer be far away? If you've had the urge to take a walk one of these nice balmy days we've been enjoying, then maybe you too have noticed the new raft at the lake bsach. A lot of work has gone into construction of the raft and as soon as I get a complete list of those responsible, I'll pass it on to you. LAVON'S CALIFORNIA VISIT La Von Dowhin left here on March 24 and flew to Los Angeles where her son, Jimmy and his wife, Rita met her and took her to their home in Downey, Calif. During her 9 day visit she went to Knotts Berry Farm, Disneyland, Beverly Hills, took pictures of Buddy Ebson and had a nice visit with Jim.Sr's., cousin who is stationed at Vandenburg Air Force Base. He has been ijn the JUy ,For^ ior 23 years and it had been at least 20 years since she had seen him. After a most enjoyable and much too short visit with Jimmy and Rita, she" returned 1 The Drivers I Seat I So you think the police waste their time? Or don't catch as many speeders, drunken drivers and road hogs as they should? You're entitled to your opinion, of course, but a recently completed study indicates that the police spend a great deal of time helping you and other drivers solve various highway troubles, according to the December issue of Traffic Digest and Review magazine. Hie three-month study -part of a project called "Operation 66" - was conducted in 1964 along Route 66 from Joliet, 111. to San Bernardino, Calif. The Bureau of Public Roads, International Chiefs of Police and seven states (Arizona, California, Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas) took part in the study to determine the types, volume and amount of time of services performed for motorists by the police. During June, July and August, 1964, officers along the 1,846 miles of Route 66 involved in the study satisfacorily completed 121,842 motorist contact forms - averaging 66 contacts per mile. Police spent a total of 18,- 500 patrol man-hours during the actual contacts (an average of just over nine minutes each) and made an estimated 5.6 contacts per 100,000 vehicle miles of motorist travel. Although about three-fifths of these contacts were for enforcement, nearly one-fourth were for services. Here's a glimpse of the types and percentages of contacts: informational, 6.2; directional, 2.5; tire/failure, 4.6; cooling system failure, 2.7; out of fuel, 1.4; mechanical failure 6.1f ill or injured persons, 0.2; emergency message delivery, 0.1; citation, 21.1; arrest, 3.2; written warning, 31.1; oral warning, 5.1; received crime report, 0.1; removed road debris, 1.3; accident investigation 1.3; and other 13.0. How long did motorists in . trouble wait for assistance? An average of only 7.5 minutes! Does that sound as though the police waste their time? to Holiday Hills on April 3. She and Jim send a special 'Hi' to Jimmy and Rita, who read the column in Downey. WOMEN'S CLUB Don't forget that tonight is the night that the Holiday Hills Women* s club meets at the home of Mary Mahon.

TRAFFIC FATALITIES Traffic fatalities in Illinois from March 1 through 15 totaled 71, according to provisional reports released by the Division of Highways and the Illinois State Police. This was a decrease of 12 percent from the 81 traffic deaths reported for the same period during 1967. Nellie's case shows the vital need to offer high school students a good course in "Applied Psychology". For teenagers learn the rules of baseball and are even taught how tq drive a car, yet are shoved into social, marital and parental roles with almost no preparation whatsoever! Pity their kiddies, like Nellie! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D...M.D, CASE F-537: Nellie D., aged 4, is a problem case. "Dr. Crane," her worried mother phones me yesterday, "I think I am going to lose my mind because of her. , "For Nellie keeps telling me, 'I hate you, I hate you'. "And recently she started wetting the bed, although she had been broken of that baby habit two years ago. "Her grandparents spoil her rotten and she keeps telling me she wants to leave us and live with them. "My nerves are on edge so badly that my husband and I are now quarreling much of the time. " Would it be possible to ship Nellie away to some home for incorrigible children? I threaten her that I am going to do that." DELINQUENT PARENTS That last comment by Nellie's mother show how disturbed and ignorant she really is of child psychology. And it brings out the need for a good course in "Applied Psychology" at every high school! For most of our girls never go on to college, though they will marry and face childrearing problems. Our teen-agers know that baseball and other sports mv.st But they graduate, marry and then have babies, yet they have not been taught the specific rules for the parent-child game! Nellie's case is duplicated world-wide, for mankind spends billions to land a man on the moon, yet fails to teach high schoolers how to avoid the everyday practical problems down here on this planet. Nellie is the middle child, so she misses the spotlight turned on her older sister and also envies the extra attention that her baby sister obtains. Deflated in her own ego, she thus feels a terrific needto bolster her vanity and rate tops on the family totem pole. If we human beings can't pull ourselves upward by our own bootstraps, as it were, the next common device that we hit upon is to belittle our associates. "I hate you, I hate you," is merely Nellie's attempt to reduce her mother to a lower status than Nellie enjoys. Boy bullies in school also are often bedwetters whose family have "covered up" for them. But they know they are still addicted to the baby habit of enuresis. This rankles and goads them into picking on other kiddies till the latter sheds tears in public. Then the bullies feel better for their companions have publicly advertised, via their tears, that they are more babyish. "At least I don't cry in public", is the thought by which the bully thus salves his vanity and preens his wounded ego. Nellie's mother admits that Nellie wants the toys of her older and younger sister and rejects her own playthings. Which shows she is trying to identify herself with those more"spotlighted" sisters in her craving for attention. Her retufn to bedwetting is another evidence of such identification. So send for my 200-point, "Tests for Good Parents" enclosing a long stamped, return' envelope, plus 20 cents and learn the rules of the parent- . child game! (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped, addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets).
