The ride was held at the farm of one of their leaders. «%, Girl Scout Troop 320 visited a local antique museum last week.

Oakley, Chicago, played flute for a concert by the Symphonic Wind Ensemble recently at Ripon college The ensemble was directed by Kurt Dietrich, professor of music. Mem­ bership in the ensemble was determined on the basis of audition. Bird Brain A noble bird is the turkey, but very, very dumb, says a poultry scientist . Benjamin Franklin seriously suggested the turkey as the national symbol. Good thing he was rebuffed. For example, some turkeys arc- so amazed by a sudden rain­ storm they will stand stil l and gaze at the sky until they drown. The Carpool Hotline, sponsored by the Chicago Area Transportation Study (CATS), has started its second year of operation with over 14,000 people signed up who are interested in joining a carpool to save money or to find an easier way to get to work. The Carpool Hotline is one of several services provided by the CATS Commuter Computer program. Besides the Hotline, which allows people living and working in the Chicago Metropolitan area to call a special telephone number (312-793- RIDE) to sign up for car- pooling, the Commuter Computer program offers professional ride-sharing services to employers, chambers of commerce, community groups, and local governments. The Carpool Hotline has proven to be very popular with the commuting public. Since September of 1980, over 4,600 people have called in to sign up for carpooling. Of the callers, 31 percent were going to work in the suburbs, 44 percent in the Chicago Loop, and 25 per­ cent to work in areas of Chicago outside the Loop. Among the callers, 34 per­ cent were driving to work alone and are interested in sharing driving respon­ sibilities or sharing costs by driving others. Each person who calls the Hotline receives a com­ puterized list through the mail which contains the names, addresses, work hours, and phone numbers of people who live near the applicant and work near the applicant's worksite during the same hours of the day. This service is provided free of charge. It takes approximately seven days for processing between the date of the initial call and the mailing of the list. After receiving the list, each person calls the other names on the list to form a new carpool by matching up working hours, locations, and vehicles. It is not necessary to have a car to sign up, since a large per­ centage of callers usually indicate that they will drive all or part of the time. The Commuter Computer is able to process ap­ plications for persons living and working in the six- county Chicago area (Cook, DuPage, Lake, Kane, McHenry, and Will coun­ ties). In addition, persons who live in other nearby Illinois counties, Kenosha and Walworth counties in Wisconsin, and Lake and Porter counties in Indiana who work in the six-county area can also apply. Cite Alcohol Factor In Traffic Accidents Driving under the in- of alcohol ts still ft ' >r contributing factor in 1c fatalities. Rationally, over 50 percent ol? fatal vehicle accidents involve alcohol. Illinois is no exception. With 1,994 deaths total, 1,096 were alcohol related during 1960. The Illinois state police continue to make arrests for driving under the influence at an increased rate. Lt. Donald P. Liehr, operations officer for District Two (Lake, McHenry, DeKalb, Kane and DuPage counties) said that officers under his command v^gl continue to put pressure o$ the drinking driver, less death and injury be reduced if motorists wUl refrain from driving uftder the influence. Some drivers are not aware that they had too much to drink when they decide to drive. The word drunk does not necessarily apply, as a person's ability to make judgements and react to dangerous situations 4r eomidMr«d driving under the influence. An experienced drinker does not always look in­ toxicated; however, a few drinks can affect their ability to make clear judgements while driving. Don't let a freind drive after drinking. Cold showers, hot coffee or other home remedies have no affect on the blood alcohol content. Only time will reduce the level of alcohol in the blood. So, get your friends a ride home, or let them spend the night, but don't let them drive. Penalties for conviction of drivfeft.Jtpder the influence are severe, including the lots of your operator's license for a year. The loss could be worse. You could injure or kill yourself or someone else.
