Motorists would not be allowed to turn left from Front street onto Waukegan road to head east. No left turns across the northbound lanes of Front street would be allowed for traffic on Waukegan wanting to go south on Rt. 31. • The Superintendent then added, "A stop-and-go light may be needed at the in­ tersection of Main street and Front street, but a traffic count would have to be taken to determine its necessity." Meyer continued that the city would have to absorb the cost of the traffic count. Alderman Bill Bolger made a motion that the Council readily accepted, authorizing the Public Works department to conduct the traffic count. Meyer said that the count would be taken as soon as the weather would permit it. The City Council voted unanimously to pass a resolution f .pporting the concept proposed by the High­ way department. Superintendent Meyer will present the resolution to high­ way department officials, but Meyer stated that work on the intersection would probably not be able to begin before sum­ mer.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD There's An Answer (by Norman Vincent Peale and Ruth Stafford Peale) Has Life Passed Me By? - Q Pm 21 years old, and I have no idea at all what God wants me to do with my life. I'm worried because maybe it has already passed me by. If you have any advice at all to give me please feel free to give it. I'm open to anything. I'd appreciate it very much if you would please send me a copy of your booklet entitled Try Prayer Power. A. It is not abnormal at age 21 to be uncertain as to your life work. It is, of course, utterly foolish at that young age to even think that life has passed you by. Just keep on praying and asking God for guidance. And don't overpressure Him, but be patient and you will get the guidance as to what direction your life should take and what your goals should be. We are very glad to send you a free copy of our booklet, Try Prayer Power. And any reader of this column who desires this booklet may have a copy at no charge by writing to us in care of Box 500, Pawling, NY 12564. Feels Like A 'Weirdo' Q. I had back surgery and it has left my left hip, leg and foot numb. My doctor tells me it will take three months to a year for it to heal if it does. It has been four months and I am finding it very hard to cope with. I used to be a very active person, doing a lot of things a young person likes to do. I am 28 years old. My husband loves to dance, and I do too, but I can't do this now. I exercise a lot, but it seems like everything is at a standstill. People are always staring at me, and it makes me feel like a weirdo. I am getting to the point where I think my husband deserves someone lese. I hope you can help me. A. Don't be so self-depreciating. Your husband knows you are having physical problems, and it is irrational to assume that because of this fact your husband deserves someone else. He doesn't want anyone else, so don't even entertain the thought. It is foolish to imagine that everybody is staring at you. Actually, that is a form of egotism. Just act naturally and take yourself as you are and believe that you are getting better every day. Who Goes To The Funeral? Q. I married a man four years ago whom I had known all of my life. He was divorced from his first wife after 26 years and three children. He had married another and lived with her until her death. Now I understand his first wife thought that she could get rid of her present husband and they could be married again and all live happily ever after. But I came on the scene too soon. Now my husband has had a light stroke and the doctors have told us it may happen again any time and it may be death the next time. When the time comes the children want their mother to be at the funeral. One says she will not go if her mother can't be there too. Now where do I go from here? If they come where do I sit? With all of them" Is there an answer to my problem? Should we get a divorce and let them go back together? A. In this mixed-up family situation one thing is clear: you are the man's wife and, of course, are the honored widow at the funeral. You must be big enough in the dignified atmosphere of death to welcome your husband's children and their mother and anyone else who gathers in honor of the deceased. But why don't you pray and affirm your husband's health and be happy with him, and don't have him dead too soon? If there is something you would like to ask Dr. and Mrs. Peale to discuss in this column, write to them in care of Box 500, Pawling, NY 12564. If you would like to talk directly with a prayer partner, call Prayer Line (212) 481-1050. Reduced long-distance rates are in effect nights and weekends. SCREENING SLATED IN GRADE SCHOOL (Continued from page 1) address, and phone number. Parents will be asked to note the time, date, and location carefully as there will be no • confirming letters or J questionnaires mailed. The • district pre-school screening staff stated it is imperative the parent accompany his-her own child to the screening Due to lack of school space, the screening location this year will be the Zion Lutheran church Four and five-year-olds who will be entering kindergarten in September. 1978, will be screened at the time of registration for kindergarten Specific dates for these children will be given at a later time. This screening will help to detect any special needs or problems of the preschool child Most children who are screened show no problems, and this is reassuring to parents. However, a child may need help if some problems in talking, behaving, seeing, hearing, or moving are evident, or if the child is not learning as fast as expected. The district s primary goal is to provide early identification and intervention for children with special needs. Services in many cases can help the child prepare for success in a regular classroom. If the child was previously tested. District 15 would ap­ preciate the opportunity to re- test for the purpose of growth measurement MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) on Front, north-bound Front street traffic could fill the in­ tersection and prevent the cross blocking by Waukegan drivers. This would allow a right turn on red for those with the privilege granted by law. Implementation is not ex­ pected before summer. In the meantime, we can continue to express our own ideas on solutions. As we view the state recommendations, they are a help but will not solve the major problem KAF Girl Scout News The cookies are coming, the Girl Scout cookies Between Feb. 24 and March 5 Sybaquay council Girl Scouts will be taking orders for the five varieties of Girl Scout cookies assorted sandwich, golden trefoil, peanut butter round ups, cookies mints and fudge patties. By the April 3, 4 and 5 delivery dates, these Girl Scouts hope to reach their goal of 240,000 boxes. The troop and the council realize a portion of the proceeds The 1978 council proceeds will help build a new program center at Shabbona Hills, near Harvard. This is one of three Sybaquay council camp and activity sites. Troop proceeds help pay for troop activities, special projects, camping trips, ser vice projects or field trips depending on the interests of each troop. The Girl Scouts in Sybaquay council hope that everyone will buy Girl Scout cookies to help them help themselves, their council and their community. Sybaquay Girl Scout council is partially supported by United Funds and Community Chests and provides the Girl Scout program for girls in Cook, Kane, Lake, DuPage, McHenry. DeKalb and LaSalle counties. • • • * If everyone would quit hurrying, life would move along intelligently.
