No statement was taken from viechrebecki at the scene due to lis condition. The reporting ofticer found two lights and one reflector on the bicycle. However, they were destroyed in the accident and the officer was not able to determine whether or not they were operational prior to the collision. Seven-year-old Helen R Kennedy of 1114 N. River road, McHenry, was seriously injured last Thursday evening about 7:40 when she was hit by a car while crossing Route 120 near Charles street, just east of the city limits. She was taken to McHenry hospital by the local Rescue squad, where she was reported in good condition Monday morning. Driver of the car, Leslie Kiss of 4624 N. Central Park avenue, Chicago, was east-bound on the highway when he saw the child attempting to cross from the orth to the south side of the d. Tlie girl proceeded to the center of the road and Kiss stopped to allow her to proceed the rest of the way. However, she didn't move. The driver then started to proceed when suddenly the girl crossed at the same time. Kiss applied his brakes but was unable to stop before hitting her. Witnesses at the scene verified the driver's statements. Three McHenry women were taken to McHenry hospital by the McHenry Rescue squad last "Wednesday morning after the vehicle in which they were riding hit a mail box and utility pole at 1811 N. Riverside drive, just north of the city. Susan A. Wilde, driver of the vehicle, and her mother, Teresa Wilde, both of 3416 W. Fairway drive, McHenry, along with Rose F. Wilde of 2605 Orchard Beach road, McHenry, were all treated at the hospital for minor injuries. The driver told deputies she backed out of a driveway, started to proceed south on Riverside when she stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brakes and lost control of the vehicle. Maria L. Ramirez of 603 S. Second street, Delavan, Wis., was cited for disobeying a traffic control device after she hit a car driven by John Bonder of 306 W. Northlake road, Wonder Lake. The accident occurred Friday afternoon about 12:30 at the intersection of Routes 14 and 176, near Crystal Lake. According to the report in the sheriff's office, Bonder had the green light and was proceeding through the intersection when his car was struck. Ms. Ramirez said the light turned yellow as she neared the intersection. Her daughter called to her to watch the light and she thought she meant for her to proceed. She did so and impact occurred. Her daughter told deputies she meant for her mother to stop. Joseph F. Miazga of 1006 Wood street, McHenry, was ticketed by sheriff's deputies for failure to stop at a stop or yield intersection following a two-car collision Sunday afternoon at 4:15. Randall G. McCann of 10 Meadow Lane, Cary, was east- bound on Crystal Lake avenue when the Miazga car pi oceeded to cross the road directly in front of him.

We reasoned that she must have noted a certain intelligence on our countenance we didn't know existed. Otherwise, why would she have taken the money so soon? We suggested as much, to which the kind lady only smiled again and let us believe the fallacy. Her confidence took a few buckles out of the knees. It was much later we learned that her long experience in the business gave her the same confidence sn everyone. Thai and the fact that the Secretary of State was eager to build up his coffers.' Well, at least it was good to know the big state of Illinois shared our goal, which very simply was to pass the test. Our first mistake was selecting a chair directly in front of the tester. Skipping from one question to the next, we looked his way and felt he was either bored or disgusted with the day's crop of test material. We particularly objected to his habit of telling everybody about their mistakes with a hint of a patronizing tone. We sounded Panic Button No. 1 when we realized none of the first five questions had been answered in our book. They involved common sense, and this was no time for this kind of nonsense. What we wanted were questions for which we had carefully learned specific answers. The second seizure occurred mid-way through when we observed Lady No. 8 at the counter. Out of a subdued conversation we heard only one statement: "CaU I come back tomorrow and take it again?" This was panic in its final stages. Our heart sank to its lowest level and for the first time we confronted the humility of possible failure. Time marched on, and the moment of reckoning was at hand. Still solemn-faced, the tester took our paper, made a mark on the first answer and then proceeded quickly to scan the remainder of them^and check the road signs. "Didn't we know that the driver who is going straight ahead has precedence over the one making a turn at an intersection?" he asked. We assured him we did, but we also knew that the fellow who gets to the intersection first has a right to proceed first. We told him so, but he was unimpressed and informed us that everybody knows that. We suggested that our better judgment told us to mark both answers, since both were correct. Second consideration convinced us we should follow the directions carefully. Therefore, we made our choice. What we really wanted to say was this was a rather stupid question. Realizing, however, that sometimes thoughts are better left unexpressed, we refrained. After all, somebody might have decided that since we were so well informed, perhaps we would like to take the road test also. A quick eye and color test gave our friend no alternative but to pass us. We walked out proudly, recalling that with a bit of luck, we may not have to take another test for nine vears. Back at our office our deputies she was driving south at about 45 miles per hour when she suddenly felt ill and blacked out momentarily A witness said the car was traveling at a slow rate of speed and suddenly left the road for a distance of about 360 feet before overturning. eye caught a sign we had all but forgotten. It read, "So far today I made only one mistake » I got out of bed!'> How true - how true! v K.A.F. Deaths BARBARA A VOGEL Miss Barbara A. Vogel, 37, of 4307 E.

In fact, many of us are beginning to feel the presence of mosquitoes in our areas. Unless you and I do something to interfere with the development of this insect, we can expect much discomfort from this pest throughout the summer "If mosquitoes are a problem where you live, the first thing you must do is find and eliminatp their breeding places. Knowing that mosquitoes cannot hatch unless they are in water, we should find any standing water Offirur" premises and eliminate it whenever possible and practical. Towards this end, the following steps should be followed: " R e m o v e u n n e e d e d , temporary water containers. "Flatten and dispose of tin cans. "Place discarded bicycle and automobile tires in places where water cannot get into them. "Fill tree holes with concrete. "See that cisterns, septic tanks, rain barrels and tubs in which water is stored are tightly covered. "Empty and thoroughly wash birdbaths at least once a week. "Clean out rain gutters. "Examine flat roofs after rains and be sure that no Avater remains on them. "Drain or fill in stagnant pools and swampy places. If pools cannot be drained or filled in, remove debris and floating vegetation. "If there is standing water on your premises, and it cannot be eliminated, examine it at least once a week to find out whether larvae (wigglers) are present. Dip out some water with a white enamel pan or cup and you can easily observe the wigglers against the white background. If you find larvae, a small top feeding minnow which will eat about 200 wigglers a day could possible be used to stock your pond. For information about this minnow or other top feeding fish, contact McHenry County Department of Health. "Man made farm ponds or other larger bodies of water on agricultural land should have steep, clean shorelines with little or no vegetation to provide protection for mosquito larvae and so the wigglers are exposed to wave action or fish. * - '^Borrow pits along the highways should be constructed so that they are either self draining to prevent production of the temporary pool mosquito or deep enough so that they will hold at least two feet of water with steep, clean shorelines to minimize breeding qf permanent water mosquitoes. . . "All >bf the 0 above recommendations are based on the mosquito breeding habits. During spring, summer and fall, female mosquitoes 'lay their eggs on water or in places which will later become flooded. They are laid in batches of 50 to 200 and several batches may be laid by one * female. Bloodsucking females usually require a blood meal before producing eggs. ' "In warm weather, the eggs of most species hatch in two or three darys. The eggs of siwie species requirk a drying period: They may remain dormant for many months. then hatch within minutes after being flooded by spring or summer rain. "The larvae or wigglers that hatch from the eggs feed mainly on bits of organic matter in the water. These wigglers change to pupae (tumblers) in about a week and these in turn transform into adults in about two days. In another day or two, the female adults are ready to bite; male mosquitoes do not bite. "If each person in the county would do his utmost to interfere with mosquito development by eliminating all standing water, the niimber of adults can be greatly reduced. If the adult mosquito population is reduced it should mean less irritation, less possibility of disease transmission and less need for the use of insecticides. "The McHenry County Department of Health has the authority to cause abatement of artificially created mosquito breeding places as public nuisances. Property owners will be notified of the existence of these nuisances and failure Discuss Nuclear Energy At Defenders Meeting Nuclear power - marvel or menace? Because there are presently thirty nuclear power plants operating in the United States, and the possible cons|ruction of 500 to 1000 more by the turn of the century - many of them planned for this area - the question has prompted the McHenry County Defenders to sponsor a program to examine the problems arising from generating electricity by splitting the atom. Defenders members, their guests, Xand any interested, concerned citizens, are invited to attend the dinner-program Friday, July 19, at The Timbers, Routes 47 and 14- bypass, Woodstock. Dr. Don L. Manley, associate professor of Physics, University of Wisconsin at Whitewater, and one of the increasing number of scientists expressing doubts about the safety of this form of energy, has been engaged as speaker for the evening. Cocktails will be served at 6, and after a buffet dinner,<Dr. Manley will give his presentation. A discussion period will follow. Reservations may be made by contacting Mrs. Betty D. Hegner, 18810 Route 14, Harvard, preferably by July 12, as reservations are limited to 125. For further information by telephone, call program chairman Anne Carroll, 338- 1865, or Sherry Anderson, 338- 5539. Those unable to be at the to cause abatement of these nuisances by responsible property owners can lead to legal action against those property owners." dinner may attend the program, starting at about 8 p.m., without charge. Continuing their studies of the energy crisis, Defenders will explore alternate - and environmentally safe - sources of power at a public meeting planned for early autumn.

I REMEMBERS! THE M OLD I REMEMBER-- From E. E. Messinger, Grove- land, Fl: It was my chore, after coming home from school, to look for the family cow and drive her home. One evening, in dismal November weather, as it was late and soon to become dark, my sister went with me, but we got lost in the woods. It soon got dark, and my father came to look for us with a lan­ tern; there wasn't much oil in the lantern, and soon the light went out. The cow was stubborn and wouldn't go home So we sat down on a fallen log and spent the cold night right there. For­ tunately, my father had matches wjth him and kept a fire going for our comfort all night and alpo to keep the wolves and bears away. The next day, the cow had a baby calf, and then she went home willingly. I didn't go to school that day but stayed home and recuperated from my night in the woods.
