Scliool Safety
The high school chapter of the Courtesy Car Club reminds you that your driver's license doesn't come free. Nor is the price limited to the fee of a few dollars handed over to the Illinois Secretary of State's Office. The greater and more im¬ portant price tag is responsibility for   your  actions  as  a   driver.
As another school year starts, it is more important than ever to obey all traffic regulations because so many youngsters will be on our streets as they travel to and from school. All school zones are clearly marked. Drivers are reminded to drive not only within the speed lim¬ it,   but also  with  care  and  caution.
Teenage drivers will also be on the roads driving to school. They, too, must exercise extreme coution. They are responsible to set an ex¬ ample of courtesy and consider¬ ation  on our streets and highways.
Safety, patrols, adult crossino guards, flashing signals, or signs can't do th» job alone. Saving and protectinn -^ur children's lives is in your hands. ~ f
Celebrate 100 Year at Church
The United Church of Christ, Congregational, is planning a cele¬ bration. It will mark the 100th an¬ niversary of the church building. The congregation celebrated the founding of teh church with a week of activities  in September,  1952.
It is indeed remarkable today for us to vision the tremendous fore¬ sight of the founders of the Congre¬ gational Church. Theirs was the faith that inspired them to build a sanctuary far beyond their means. They borrowed money, donated their labor and skills to build that we today find their work well done. It is ?. house that has stood the ravages of time, with its steeple pointed to Heaven and its bell call¬ ing he people to the house of GocT It is a house that has been filled with the happy occasions of the bap¬ tism of infants the marriage of God's children. We also must re¬ member the equal days of sadness is has witnessed with the passing CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE
