Small Fry Receive Sale Driving Lessons Highland Park, 111. - This Chicago suburb has launched a unique safe driving campaign among the small fry. The "Sidewalk Safety" cam paign, in which youngsters are taught to pedal their toy auto mobiles or velocipedes with due regard for caution, is sponsored jointly by the Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Bank of Highland Park. Children in the five-to-eight age group are enrolled. They drive pedal-propelled cars over a course of miniature street lanes, with small scale traffic signs and signals along the route. Each "graduate" gets a "Safe Sidewalk Driver" emblem. Arthur C. Mammes Jr., safety chairman of the Jay cees, sums up the campaign's goal this way: "Our program is designed to stress safety consciousness to the young, impressionable minds of our children at the very time they are learning to operate their first vehicle, even if it is a kiddie car or tricycle." "The result we look for is that safety consciousness will stick with them the rest of their lives." Japan Students Ak Britain To Halt Test Tokyo U.R The All-Japan Students Federation announced today it has sent an appeal to the British Parliament to call off Britain's scheduled hydrogen bamb tests in the Pacific. The leftists-dominated federa tion said it also has drawn up an appeal to -the United States to stop U.S. efforts to turn Okinawa into a permanent military base." Some 100 students will deliver a copy of the appeal to new U.S. Ambassador Dougles MacArthur II when he arrives in Tokyo Feb. 15, the federation said.

Madford Phono 2-9384 By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist fee one morning before starting out for the big catch. The loud noise of their laugh ter at such an early hour made me curious so I got out of bed and tiptoed downstairs to see what was so funny. There was my Dad sitting around the table with the others, tut somehow his story always ended with the big one that got away. Thinking that he had forgot ten all about our pet, I went to my room and got Big One and I took him down to my Dad. I asked him, how could he forget about Big One especially after he named him and he caught him for me? For some reason those men never finished their coffee. You see, my Daddy didn't need a rod and reel to catch "Big One," be cause he caught him with his own fingers in a big department store in the gold fish department. Jerry Jackson Jr. An Atalanta, Ga., reader writes: "D'you know, even a fish .vould not get in trouble if he kept his mouth shut." Floridan's Story An angler from Florida sub mits this one: "While fishing on a bridge with a friend, 1 hooked into a nice snapper. I reeled him in and then as I jerked my rod up, he sailed clear over my head to the other side of the bridge into someone else's bucket. Plop, just like that, I put my rod down, walked on to the other side of the bridge, scooped my fish up and started to walk back. "Hey," yelled a fellow fur ther up the bridge, running to ward me. "What the heck you doing in my bucket.' Priced as Low as o a Table Model!

He says: 'That's a lot of baloney, it's my fish'' Well one word led to another and before you could count to Jack Piper, he hit me. I threw the fish at him. My friend came over, separated us, and took me home. "Now, every time I go fishing my wife says: "If the fish fly. let them go by!' " Fishing Experience A southern California reader contributes this one: A fisher man was telling about a fishing experience. "It was a beautiful fish," he said, "and I got it right alongside the boat when it took off and got away. But anyway it weighed exactly four pounds and three-and-a-half ounces." "But man, if you didn't land the fish, how the devil did you know what it weighed," de manded the indignant listener "Well, the fish had scales on its back," answered the fisher man. And the final story comes from a minister in Indiana. He writes: "Some time ago. while fishing on the banks of the Ohio river near Derby. Ind., I baited a hook with a small minnow. First thing knew, a 10-pound blue cat swallowed the minnow, then shortly another tug at the line and a 73-pound blue cat had swallowed the 10-pound cat. When the line was pulled in, to my surprise I found I had three in one. A 73-pound blue cat; a 10-pound blue cat, and the hum ble little minnow. Eighty-three pounds of cat, all told! Plenty for a nice big fish fry, which we had."

Nothing But Trouble For First Day in Home Waverly, N.Y. U.R) Mrs. John Vale will long remember the first day in her new home. To start the day off, her daughter, 3-year-old Debbie, let the bird out of the cage. After the excitement died, Mrs. Vale decided to do the family wash ing. She turned on the water and a pipe broke, spraying a back room. Mrs. Vale next decided to go grocery shopping but the car battery was dead. While waiting for the repair man to fix the car, another daughter, Karen, 21 months old, fell down stairs and cut her mouth. She called a doc tor who told her that a dentist was needed.
