During March there were 93 deaths as a result of 82 accidents. That is a decrease of 13.9 percent from the 108 provisional deaths in March 1982.

It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with. This is the sixth in a mini-series of articles on the McHenry elementary schools. In the hope that from week to week the public would look forward to these informational efforts, there have been given a number of questions in one article which would be answered in the next article. Last week questions were about the teaching of reading. It is very unlikely that anyone reading these lines can remember when those 'squiggly' lines on a page made no sense.Now, even if the word is not recognized, or how to pronounce it, at least the letters are familiar. There was a time in everyone's young life when the letters of the alphabet could have been hieroglyphics. The requirements of newsprinting limit this article to using the regular alphabet rather than a nonsensical alphabet one could just make up; but let's try a nonsense use of the alphabet to write a sentence. 'K nqxg aqw.' If one had been taught that what was pronounced as 'I' looks like 'K'. one would read the sentence to say 'I love you.' The point is that as a young child one could have been taught one way as easily as the other. The only reason for using a nonsense alphabet or the familiar alphabet jumbled up is to help adults to see those now familiar words somewhat like the squiggly marks on paper that they seem like to a person just learning to read. Teaching reading is a complex and demanding task. Too few have a good appreciation of the training and daily work of primary .level teachers. This is probably because people hear first graders read, in their laborious way, "See Spot; see Spot run". It sounds so simple to adult ears. Do not be deceived; a child will learn more proportionately in first grade than he will learn in any grade thereafter. It is hard work for both pupil and teacher. Now to the questions. Please remember they are not covering here in great detail the process and skills of learning to read. These questions give rise, rather, to a sampler of this fascinating subject. What is a sight vocabulary? All reading for the mature reader is by sight vocabulary. For example, it is unlikely that anyone has had to sound out phonetically any word in this article. One reads the words and understands them by instant recognition. The question, however, generally refers to a short list of high use words a beginning reader is taught to recognize by sight so that little stories may be used for student interest as the teacher begins to take the child through the complex tasks of learning how to decode all those squiggly marks. Just learning about the squiggly marks outside a 'story' is dull, boring work. In time, each child should master all the reading skills and be able, when necessary, to properly decode any word he meets. The second question asks about basal readers. This is a set of reading textbooks that the school has carefully chosen so that the skills of reading are introduced, practiced and practiced again in a scheduled fashion. In this way, one teacher will not cover un­ necessarily the skills previously taught by an earlier teacher; and none of the reading skills are ac­ cidentally omitted. Basal textbooks are generally used throughout the years of schooling for all subjects, not just reading. Basal textbooks ensure the careful adherence to an agreed upon scope of a subject and the sequence of its study, grade by grade. The next question dealt with the skills related to consonant and vowel sounds. Does anyone remember the long and short sounds of vowels? The answer to the question is that con- SAFETY HINTS By Secretary of State Jim Edgar With the winter driving months behind us, it is time to look ahead to the hot sum­ mer months and make sure that all of our vehicles are in safe mechanical condition. Whether you perform routine maintenance on your car, truck or recreational vehicle, or take your vehicle to a dealer or service Station, che<?k Jjj& fdUowi»£ 5ems: 1--Battery: Look for corrosion on cables and terminals, a common cause of starting trouble. If your battery uses water, check the level and add distilled water as needed. When working near a battery, be sure there is no open flame, and do not smoke. Batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas. 0 2--Fluids: check engine oil, transmission oil, power steering fluid and coolant. It is recommended that you keep your radiator full of a mixture of 50 percent antifreeze and 50 percent water for warm weather driving to prevent overheating. 3--Drive belts and hoses: Frayed or worn belts should be replaced. Inspect all hoses for leaks, soft­ ness, cracks or blisters, and replace if necessary. Tighten hose clamps. A bad hose easily can leave you stranded.

Read this vowel-less s e n t e n c e : " M t h r t I d J h n t c m h m " . It says, "Mother told John to come home".It is possible without vowels or considering if they were long or short sounds. One should have marked the fourth question 'true'. (Incidentally, it is more difficult for a teacher to write a logical sounding false statement an exam than a true one.) The statement was "A child must be able to clearly hear a phoneme in words before associating the sound with its grapheme." This statement relates to the famous phonics which'i^ , often publicly debated. Quickly it ^afi.!; be said one can hardly teach reading"'" without teaching phonics!
