TWO NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1949 Safety Winter Driving Rules Are Listed by Assn. Severe winter driving condl tlons in virtually all parts of the tate necessitate the exercise of great care and the use of sound winter driving techniques, the Oregon State Motor Association said today. Pointing to the fact that traffic accidents increase at rates of from 24 to 53 per cent during ice and snow months, the motor asso ciation urged Oregon drivers to observe these experience-tested rules of safe driving on ice and snow: 1. Carry chains and use them In snow and on ice. (But remem bcr that chains will not always prevent skidding, especially on glare Ice and in wet packed snow that packs around the wheels.) 2. Avoid sudden stops and "Jackrabbit" starts. Use of the brakes nearly always will start a skid on packed snow or ice. 3. In starting, use the second gear on level ground to avoid skids sometimes caused by apply ing too much power to the rear wheels. 4. Reduce speed. Speeds In ex cess of 25 miles an hour may cause skids on ice or on packed snow that has frozen. 5. In stopping on Ice or packed snow, use the brake with an In termittent application, releasing It before a skid starts. A pump ing action Is advisable from low speeds for quicker stops. 6. Always get the feel of the road surface by trying It out in a safe place. I. Keep wind-sliield and win dows clear of frost and fog.

Clinics' Value Demonstrated Dr. McCall cited numerous ex amples of defective speech cases which have been helped or cured In his clinics. He told of one child of almost live, whose father was an engineer, his mother a scholar of the classics. The parents did not provide a normal environ ment for the child and gave him no stimulus for speech. Under guidance of the clinic, the child soon learned to talk. Dr. McCall also told of a doctor who lost the power of speech as result of injuries in an automo bile accident. Called to his home, Dr. McCall read passages to him from a medical volume which the doctor understood very well. He had not lost his intelligence, but he had to learn to speak again with use of first grade primers. Following Dr. McCall's ad dress, L. J. Fullerton, retiring president of the Chamber of Com merce, turned the program over to his successor. John D. Todd. Todd called for the cooperation of members during the coming year. "All of us have many responsi bilities families, homes, churches, lodges," he said. "But If we give a little time to the Chamber of Commerce, it will add weight to the lever that keeps Roseburg on the march." Old and new directors and their wives were introduced. Todd Introduced Mrs. Harold J. Hlckerson, wife of the secretary manager, because It is "almost tradition" that the outgoing presi dent "forgets to introduce some one's wife." Musical numbers on the pro gram were presented by a quar tet of the Roseburg Choral So ciety.

Among other things. Mvers' measure would restore to the fed eral government the power to regulate evictions. He told a re porter the action of Tulsa land lords will assure adoption of that provision.
