The theme of the April school safety poster distributed by the Chicago Motor Club is one that children and adults alike should heed. “Ride One on a Bike” is an essential safety message to all cyclists. Bicycles, obviously, were for just one person—the rider. If you carry a passenger you reduce your ability to control the bicycle, especially if an emergency should arise, and this could contribute greatly to your chances of having an accident. The Chicago Motor Club distributes posters for use each month of the school year to more than 45.000 grade school classrooms in Illinois and Indiana.

Chapel Opposes Halleck For Representative Valparaiso businessman Joseph H. Chapel, 45, today announced that he filed by mail March 25 for the Second District Congressional seat with the Secretary of State. Chap 1 will oppose Representative Charles A. Halleck in the Republican primary on May 5. Earlier this week, Chap ’ mdicateed he would not be a candidate for Congress. He said he was induced to reconsider his candidacy after many of his supporters strongly urged him to make the race. Chapel charged, “The Second District needs a Congressman ‘for’ and not ‘from’ the district. He said, “For too long, Second' District voters have been without real representation with Mr. Halleck concentrating on problems outside the district. “We can aH appreciate Mr. Halleck’s concern with national problems, but someone should be concerned with Second District needs as well”, he said. “It is time to return the focus of representation to the district so as to reflect the real views of the people and not sirriply ‘me tooing’ what eastern party brass hats think we should think”, Chapel declared. Chapel and his wife Jean reside at--561 Ravine Drive, Valparaiso. They , have three children, Roger, 18, Elizr abeth Ann, 10. and Nancy Jo, 5. t j A lifelong Republican, Chapel' has i been a grassroots worker for the 11 GOP and has attended state con- »! ventions. r He is a veteran of World War II i and Korea, serving in the Marine Corps. Currently he is a member of . the Marine Corps Reserve in which r j he holds the rank of lieutenant colo- ,: nel. ’ He is a member of the First Methodist church at Valparaiso, Ror tary club. Masonic lodge. Shrine, . i Scottish Rite, and Marine Corps Rej sene Officers Association. He is a graduate of Youngstown university in business administration.
