PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 3 1982 EARL WALSH' So I Hear Heard a story about people filing a complaint about their neighbor's rooster invading their back yard every morning to lead their hens into his realm to lay their eggs. . That old rooster really had something to crow about. It was good to see Jerry Wakitsch out and around again after a tough spell of illness. We need people like Jerry in our area. There is just nothing to compare with a stop in the cozy wooded spot where Lil Michels dispenses sandwiches and a wash of your choice as you follow golfers around the course. Those hot dogs taste like a banauet and the friendly smile is better than dessert. Let's give credit where credit is due, Lil's husband does help her a little. After spouting off for years about the golden bantam sweet corn of other days, Gene Huff cam^a-callin' with some ears. Man, that's eatin'! ° Telling about the grass tennis court on the lot on Waukegan SC. where the Fenwicks now reside took some explaining. The Walter Vogt home was on Main St. and their extra lot extended to Waukegan. When I told "Brenda" about Margaret Stenger^and I getting out at 5 a.m. to play on that court, she was surprised that I ever played tennis. (I'd like to have whistled a few drives at her feet.) Have often wondered where Hugh Kirk got all that energy. Now, I know. He carries high powered candy around in his pocket and that sugar peps him up. . ,L • V We met in a store and Hugh gave me a piece of that energy. It works! It filled me full of pep for about ten minutes. Always said Ye Olde Plaindealer gets around the country. Here's a letter from a former McHenryite who now lives in California: J "Aug. 22 '82 "Dear Earl, "Due to my husband's love of golf and anything related to it he found this article in the morning Times.

The key to a safe trip, especially when traffic is heavy, is to drive defensively. Expect the unexpected. Be alert for other drivers who might suddenly enter your lane without signaling their intentions. If you are driving on an ex­ pressway, watch for vehicles on entrance ramps and speed- change lanes. At all times, be prepared to take evasive action to avoid accidents and protect y o u r 1 t H , y o u r passengers and others, no matter who is at fault or how badly the other person drives. If a collision is inevitable, don't panic. •Try to steer your way out of it. Do anything to keep from hitting head- on. If you have to hit another vehicle or object, try to do it at an angle. If there is a choice, run into the softest thing available, possibly a ditch. Disaster sometimes can be avoided by deliberately. throwing your vehicle into a skid. Celebrate the holiday, but don't drink and drive. Drunk drivers are the major cause of traffic fatalities. Drive carefully and have a safe and sane holiday weekend.
