(Photoassistance courtesy of Photocom) Bv Estelle Atw611 A bill that really has teeth in it to ban the destructive steel jaw trap will soon be in­ troduced to the Illinois legislature. It is House Bill HB 1000 which amends the existing act and outlaws the use of the leghold steel jaw trap. It in­ cludes all sales, manufacture, and distribution of the leghold trap, and for violations, will impose a fine of $300. The steel jaw leghold trap is the barbaric device used to trap furbearing animals for their pelts. It maims, tortures, and kills, often very slowly and agonizingly, any creature that steps on it. Not only do these traps inflict severe injury and torture on animals, the fingers or toes of small children who come in contact with them, could be severed or mutilated. A case was reported of a two- year-old child, barefoot, who walked into a trap camouflaged with leaves and lost two of his toes. Besides those out for com­ mercial gain through the use of these traps, there are the cat haters and dog haters in our communities who feel no compunction about staking these traps in their yards, using the excuse they set them to catch rats or other rodents. Actually they are set out to destroy cats and dogs who unknowingly wander into their precincts. There certainly are more humane ways to deal with this particular problem. Why is it legitimate that trappers have the option to torture and kill wildlife with the use of these barbaric traps? Doesn't America's wildlife belong to all of us? Do we have to condone this senseless and cruel exploitation of furbearing animals, and the more than equivalent numbers of har­ mless non-target animal® (bb-frjmulf/mu) HINT OUR MUSE N VAC--dw i •inaction cwpit dwMi Mckiw d u t t f f . . . • ri-- carpt Wfcwi with I wstst iii ctomini toNrtion i • Immm md lift* til dirt griee eed reetitoes te tiw carpet mfact wtwra CLEjS.TKSH Md DOOR-FREE! ctuncMwm , |»« num . . * - . u in IM cuun IMUK .

Murphy, District commander for the area including Lake, McHenry, Kane, DeKalb and DuPage counties, reports that forty-one persons have been killed in these counties this year. There were thirty-one persons killed during the same period last year, showing increase of ten. A breakdown of the counties shows that in the month of Feb. 1976, Lake county had three fatalities, McHenry county had no fatalities; DuPage county had nine fatalities; Kane county had three fatalities and DeKalb county had no fatalities. For the same period this year, Lake county had five fatalities; McHenry county had no fatalities; DuPage county had nine fatalities; Kane county had five fatalities and DeKalb county had one fatality. Captain Murphy wants to remind the motoring public that the use of headlights is required by law from sunset to sunrise or at any other time when weather conditions warrant their use. This would include the use of headlights on highly overcast days.
