Snowmobiles come within the general term of Vehicles; however, such vehicles are neither titled nor licensed by the Office of the Secretary of State under the Illi¬ nois Motor Vehicle Laws.
The reason for this is that they are neither manufactured nor de¬ signed for hi^way use, but are, in fact designed for off-highway use. Consequently, use of Snomo- may be charged when any violation occurs.  Also any-

March of Dimes Measles Vfteene
The National Foundation March of Dimes is supporting the County Health Department Rubella Im- munizatkin program. Rubella — commonly called German measles — caxises birth defects. Pregnant w<Mnen must be protected from this disease through a community program to immunize susceptible children. The protectwn is mainly provided to children in Kinder¬ garten throug third grade.      ,     ,
Ward Duel, county health direc¬ tor, has obtained a commitment of 10,000 does from hte state. The state has a limited supply of this expensive vaccine. The State Heatlh Department has advised Mr. Duel that this product is avail¬ able only for community programs, and due to the limited supply they have already turned down requests from three other   counties.
The program in McHenry County is to be carried out through the schools and is available on a first come first serve basis. At the pres¬ ent time about one half of the counties available vaccine has been committed. All of the feeder elementary schools — public and parochial — in the McHenry High School District and some of the elementary schools in the Cary- Grove High School area are pres¬ ently covered.
The March of Dimes is provid¬ ing information for distribution, the services of oi|e of their staff members from Chicago and an ap¬ propriation from the local chap¬ ters funds. The Nattonal Founda¬ tion has several programs directed towards the elimination of birth defects. At-the present time they are assisting in Rid>ella immuniza¬ tion program in those areas where the vaccine can be obtained.
