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. The presentation of
the first post was made by Roy
Jones, president of the Drain
Lions, to Mayor Sherman Chap
man. The post was planted by Mayor
Chapman and Mayor-elect W. E.
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.

Rep. Frank Van Dyke of Medford
hopes the 1949 legislature will
end within 60 days.
The Southern Oregon legis
lator slated to be speaker of the
lower chamber of the new Legis
lature, said' he hopes all groups
will have law proposals ready for
the first day of the session.
"Our committees are all ar
ranged and the House could start
right to -work," he declared. He
said he wants state boards and
agencies also to be ready with
bills for proposal at the earliest.

days, although pay stopped at the
end of 50 days.
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

RADIOS FOR THE NEEDY Used radios will be distributed to families without radios by the Sal
vation Army this Christmas. Here, Capt. Claude Bowden, left, receives a used model from Free
man Keller, manager of the Firestone Store, who is cooperating in the plan. All radios that the
store takes in as trade-ins on new models during the Christmas season will be turned over to
the Salvation Army for distribution. Capt. Bowden requested that persons who know "of de
serving families notify the Salvation Army. Any necessary repairs will be made by Howard
Kluver, operator of a radio repair service, so that every family will receive a set in good working
order.
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.

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.

Rotary meeting at the notel.

enjoyed the friendly spirit of the
meeting. Everyone shook hands
with him as the only visitor from

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.

at Eugene. Whie he was soung,

lie sxmt his early year's in lod
ging and truck driving. He

ernment survey In Douglas Coun

ley and his wife moved to Rose
burg after U years In Eugene.

Phillips said he had "gotten a
lot of good out of Rotary." When
he came here two years pgo to
go Into partnership with his step

llness" of the people and found
he could always count on reliable
