Offer Suggestions For Safe Legal Bicycling driver from keeping both hands upon the handlebars places the driver in immediate danger of losing control, in addition to being against the law. Each year an average of 46.000 people are killed in traffic accidents More than 1,000 of these involved people riding bicycles. How win persons cope with this problem? Accidents don't just happen, they are caused, mostly by a person's disobedience to traffic laws This includes the bicycle rider. In Illinois, the law requires that all bicycles have good brakes. A bicycle shall not be equipped with a siren and must have a headlight and red light or red reflector on the rear, if driven after sunset. The law- states. "The parent or legal guardian of any child shall not authorize or knowingly permit any child to violate any provisions of this act". The law requires a total of ten reflectors on every bicycle. One clear reflex toward the front, two amber reflex - one on each side, forward of center, two red reflex - one on each side toward rear of center, one red reflex on rear, and four amber reflex on rear, and four amber reflex on the front and rear of each pedal. Tires with reflex sidewalls would be an additional safety feature. A question often asked is, "On what side of the street or road must a person ride his bicycle?" The law states that every vehicle and bicycle must obey all traffic laws, therefore, ride the bicycle on the right hand side of the road or street, and as close to the edge as possible. As a motorist, remember to give the person riding a bicycle the right of way that he is en­ titled to. Be especially alert when approaching1 a child on a bicycle. He may not be too skilled in handling the bicycle and he could fall into the path of the auto. The Illinois State Police Safety Education section has for many years been involved in bicycle safety, both with the adults and children. They believe that by teaching young children the bicycle safety rules prior to the time that they reach the proper age to drive a motor vehicle, they will be more knowledgeable of the traffic laws and will be more safety minded, which in turn will result in fewer traffic accidents. In addition to the above considerations, the Illinois State police remind bike riders that the act of clinging to vehicles is not only against the law, its just plain dangerous.

Fish needn't be large to be strong, although size and strength often go together. Most fish can generate 1/500 horsepower per pound of body weight. That may not sound powerful, but in a rainbow trout it means that the fish, when hooked, can burst ahead at speeds up to 10 miles per hour. It's no surprise that fish have a lot of power for their size, say the fishing experts at Mercury outboards, when you consider that they are nothing except muscle from head to tail. Their muscular structure is designed specifically for swimming. Formed of con­ tinuous muscle segments which adt in a sine-wave motion, a fish's body undulates to move the fish forward or backward. In fish with body forms like largemouth bass, these seg­ ments are close together at the tail, and act as one great muscle to provide the strength a bass needs to propel itself Observers of bass feeding habits have seen this work. They report that as the bass ap­ proaches its prey, it glides forward slowly, propelled by a few short strokes of the tail. But when the fish decides to strike, all the muscles on one side of the tail force it into a large sweep which pushes the bass forward at great speed. Other indications of the power fish have are seen in salt­ water species. King mackerel have been known to jump near­ ly 20 feet out of the water when hooked. And tarpon anglers are always wary of their catch; with one sweep of his tail, a large tarpon can break a man's leg. know{^ ± / T H t Wfealficr In climbing, or driving up, mountains in the United States, is it important to allow for lessening oxygen? It's very important to un­ derstand the composition of the atmosphere in ascending mountains--as it is in flying. While most of the gas that surrounds the earth (the at­ mosphere) is not oxygen, the supply of this gas is vital to our breathing and health. As we ascend, the air gets thinner and we do not breathe in the normal supply of vital oxygen. If you reach an alti­ tude of 10,000 or 11,000 feet, climbing or driving, you have reached a dangerous altitude. In a few places in this country our mountains rise this high. Even at 8,000 or 9,000 feet the effects are considerable. Above 9,000 extra oxygen should be used. Vision at night is very poor at this altitude without additional oxygen. If in doubt whether you are suf­ fering from anoxia, look at your finger nails. They should be pink, and if they are turning bluish, you are experiencing anoxia. POET'S CORNER SPRING Spring is near it's almost here. Spring to me is very dear. Spring is yellow Spring is green Spring to me is everything. * Spring is nice and has a, cool breeze the temperature's about 70 degrees. Spring is pleasant Spring is fun Spring is just about begun. By Patty Chapman Kim Romano Karyn Kline WE ALL MAY LIVE.... ...they danced around the golden calf embraced it. adored it - with lust in their mind. .. and Moses on top of the mountain listened in silence to the voice of God. His heart received His voice and his eyes were from the fire, blind. Holding the ten commandments for God's holy church on earth tight in his hand he walked down from the mountain and saw what his people had done... and God opened the earth with wind and fire... He destroyed the people - who had sinned and lived just for their own desire... V Many centuries have passed since that time in history. But men did not learn and lived with God's holy Law he still is dancing around the golden calf and sin is his best freind, near and far With the help of modern science he also found a way to destroy the unborn, helpless child - who never saw the light of the golden morning sun and again Moses would cry out - "My people, what have you done? The ten commandments are by many forgotten, the few who still find their way to His house and listen to His word, their voice can still among the turmoil of sin - be heard... But how long will they withstand the call of Satan and his best freinds? A long time ago God sent fire and wind and the earth opened up - underneath the feet of sinful people when the time should come that there is silence and no bell is ringing any more, from every church's steeple... and no one has time to speak to God the Father in heaven above - then the day is here nd He will turn away from us, His fatherly Love. ...and He will destroy all mankind... the planet is gone - an empty globe in the endless space and destroyed will be the human race... God is merciful and always can forgive but we must learn to obey His holy law and we all will live...
