Johnson, Jr. Provisional state police reports showed that 1,961 persons were killed in traffic accidents here in 1974 com­ pared to 2,369 deaths reported in 1973. Johnson said that the national 55 m.p.h. speed limit and increased patrol by the State Police both helped reduce the Illinois highway death toll last year.

Dan Walker to conserve energy. As a result, the force consumed 5 million fewer gallons of gasoline and still had a better than one-third increase in all areas of en­ forcement. Five million gallons of gasoline at 40 cents a gallon accounts for a savings of $ 200,000, Johnson said. "It is particularly gratifying to see a reduction in fatalities on the highways with a decrease in expenditures by the Depart­ ment with the cost of energy always increasing," Johnson said. from the Bible And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, He saw his wife's mother laid out and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and ministered to them. Matthew 8. 14-15 For Your Information Dear friends, The death of a realtive or friend away from home, or the fact that interment is to be at a distance from the deceased's home need present no problem. Your local funeral director, thru his associations, can readily make funeral arrangements anywhere in the world. In either case, it will be most expedient and economical to promptly contact your local funeral director to arrange the necessary details.
