NINE I NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON, TUESDAY. DECEMBER 21, 1948 Drain Street Sign Posts Are Planted By Lions Members Formal presentation of the posts on which are stenciled the names of Drain's streets was made Sunday, Dec. 12, in a cere mony arranged by the Drain Lions Club.

Mcintosh with the assistance of Jones and John Weber chairman of the Lions Club civic betterment comittee. . ' Three months ago it was brought to the attention of the Lions Club that the city needed street markers. It was difficult for residents of-the city, as well as strangers to find certain streets, Through the efforts of Weber and Ed Mattin, a sufficient num ber of 5 x 5 cedar posts were ob tained from a local mill, were surfaced by a planer mill, and stacked in a mill yard to dry. The cost of painting was paid by the ' City of Drain. The posts were painted white with the names of streets stencil ed In black. The work was done by Weber, Mattin, Dick Scott, and 1 Mcintosh. ' Each of the Lions will be as signed certain street intersections, to be held responsible for seeing that the signposts are planted.

Warship Oregon's Hull Retrieved From Lone Cruise GUAM (PI The Navy is keep ing its eye on the old hull of the pride of the fleet In the Spanish American War the battleship Oregon. The "old lady" is given to un attended cruises and the admirals want no more unscheduled trips into the South Pacific. Now back In its berth here, the Oregon recently took off during a typhoon on Nov. 13 and went sailing. It was a week before someone noticed the great hull, stripped of superstructure and engines, was missing. Early this month, a Navy Privateer weather plane crew sighted the Oregon, i drifting far southwest of this Pa cific island. She continued the ghost cruise, reaching almost halfway to the Philippines, before a tug caught up, got a line aboard and towed the hull back here and securely moored It. The Oregon was brought here during World War II after being berthed at Portland, Ore., as a i memorial. The hull was used as a breakwater for Apra harbor, I but later was towed to Santa Rosa reef, 30 miles southwest of Guam, for use as a practice bnmb- ' ing target. That ignomlnous fate was thwarted, however, when some one in the top-drawer Navy brass decided the ancient and ' honor able ship deserved a better end ing. Navy fliers never were per- I mitted to drop their bomb load i 1 on her thick top decks. Truck and Auto Repairing Welding .

Varied Experience, Advantages Related at Meeting of Rotary At Aberdeen, Wash., visitors to the Rotary Club receive a can of crab as a memento. At Portland and Seattle, they step to a micro phone to teil where they come from, with prizes going to those farthest from home. Rotarians are equally friendly from Chili wack, B. C, to Hermosillo, Mexico. These and other Impressions of Rotary fellowship were told by Jackson Beaman, chairman of the fellowship committee, at the Rose burg Rotary Club luncheon at the Umpqua Hotel Thursday neon. While Beaman and his wife were driving through British Co lumbia one day, they passed a Rotarv signboard on the high way, indicating the nearest club to be two miles and five minutes away at Chiliwack. While his wife went to a res- Driving Safety Rules for Winter Traffic Offered "Be a 'winter winner' against traffic accidents!" That's the advice of Chief of Police Calvin Baird when driv ing in rain, sleet, or snow during the heavy storm season. With more vehicles on the street today than ever before, Chief Baird cautions every motorist to be es pecially alert at the wheel and have proper equipment to cope with winter conditions. Accord ing to the National Safety Coun cil, accident rates increase from 24 to 53 per cent during ice and snow months. Chief Baird urges all driving members of this community to study endorsed methods of reduc ing accidents and fatalities caused by poor visibility and other haz ards of winter storms. The National Safety Council, through testing and scientific re search, has prepared the follow ing rules designed to help all of us win the battle against the traf fic hazards of winter: 1. Get the "feel" of the road surface when you start out. Test braking and acceleration ability when no other cars are near and before you are faced with an emergency. 2. Reduce speed when road sur faces are snowy or ley so you can stop In time. Remember at only 20 miles per hour It takes 4 to 12 times more distance to stop on snow or ice than on dry con crete. 3. Keep windshield and win dows clear of snow and ice on the outside, fog and frost inside. Chock your defroster and wipers. 4. Use tire chains when snow or Ice conditions prevail. They reduce braking distances for cars and trucks from 40 to 70 per cent and provide "go" traction often needed to start or climb hills. 5. Carbon monoxide poisoning is dangerous! Never warm your car up in a closed garage. Check exhaust system ana floor boards for leaks. Manifold type heaters should not be used unless fre quently examined for leaks and other defects. 6. Good tire treads are desir able because they improve stop ping on wet pavement, but do not depend on only new treads to help on Ice or packed snow.

When Beaman rejoined his wife, he learned that she had had coffee and a cheese sandwich. It was "meatless Tuesday." Ben man commented. "Those are the im pressions that two people can nave of the same town." Beaman called on Harold Horn and Jim Oakley to tell of their past lives belore joining the Rotary Club, and on Bob Phil lips to tell w hat the Rotary Club means to him.
