Gregg Schmitt said the dinner prayer and all\ the boys and their families dug into a delicious banquet.

This award goes to the boy in our troop who has done the most in the many phases of scouting during the past year. This honor went to Eagle Scout David Walter who was awarded a beautiful silver trophy. Congratulations, Dave, on the scouting example you have set this past year. The boys «vho will be going to the National Boy Scout Jamboree as contingent members were announced. They are Bill Adams, Bob Decker, Kerry Decker, David Walter, John Cunat, Jim Cole, Gregg Schmitt, Craig Steiner, Neil Roberts and Mike Troka. Scoutmaster Robert Walter will be in charge of a troop of seventyeight boys from the entire Blackhawk council. A surprise announcement was made that this year the beys would be going to summer camp at the Circle K-D Ranch in Washington. In addition to the camping the boys will get a chance to see some of the Jamboree as visitors. This summer trip will depend on the interest shown. At least twerrtyfive boys must sign up for the trip or it will be called off. Parents, if you want your boy to have this opportunity, check with Robert Decker soon so planning can begin. The boys also may go to Camp Lowden, but not with leaders from our troop. Movies were shown of the International Boy Scout Jamboree in 1967, which many of our boys visited. The movies were very good and really helped create an interest in the upcoming Jamboree. John Cunat, assistant Senior patrol leader, gave the closing ceremony and the boys then proceeded to the kitchen for cleanup duties. Feb. 2, the Blackhawk Area council had a reception at the Sherwood lodge in Rockford. This reception was to honor all the young men who reached the rank of Eagle in 1968. Also their scoutmasters are recognized. Eagle Scouts Stan Steiner and David Walter attended this reception with Scoutmaster Robert Walter. We are proud to have two boys in our trOop invited^ to this very special deception. Good work, Stan and Dave. Jim Cole, Public Relations Drivers * Seatback headrests now are required as a safety measure on all new cars sold in this country. However, recent research indicates they may not be adequate. A study conducted by UCLA's Institute of Transportation and Traffic Engineering reveals best protection of the head and neck in a rear-end collision would be provided by higher seatbacks -- several inches higher than they are now -- rather than by attached or adjustable headrest units. The study says "the head restraint in the front seat should be designed as an extension of the seatback . . ."because". . . the entire seat should act as a unit, yielding to impact in the same strength." Obviously, a front seatback 28 inches high -- as recommended in the study report -- would severely reduce a driver's rearward vision, but on this point the study says the seatback could be narrower at the top to facilitate adequate vision without reducing the effectiveness of the head restraint. Is more protection against head and neck injuries important? Yes, according to Dr. Richard E. Mar land, chief of the U. S. Public Health Service Injury Control Program. He says the seatback's size, angle of recline and structure is as important in a rear-end collision as seat belts are in a frgnt-end collision. WED. FEB. 12, 1969 - PLAINDEALER - PG. 5 The study reports 25 inches is enough height for the rear seatback, providing seat padding extends into the window ledge behind the seat. This height still/ allows adequate visibility to the rear. Other aspects of the rf*u>end collision problem examined in the study were performa\ce/if a car's fuel tank under impact, seat structures and anchorage s, lap belts and interior padding for passenger protection. The best protection against rear-end collisions, of course, is still to allow enough room in front of your car so you can stop in time -- and hope the guy behind you does the same.
