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.
Speech Defects Clinfe
Topic of McCall's Talk
(Continued from Pago One)
Earl Duane Pattee,
Infant, Taken by Death
Earl Duane Pattee, Infant son
of Mr. and Mrs. Earl W. Pattee
of Uosoburg, died at Mercy Hos
pital Jan. 25. Surviving besides
his parents are a sister, Janelle
Elaine; his paternal grandparents,
Mr. and Mrs. Clement Pattee, and

tian Church officiating. Arrange

and Orr Mortuary.
cases, where the voice has an ab
normal condition or quality.
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.

of America, said it plans a con
ference In Washington Feb. 14
to oppose extension of rent con
trol.
benator Myers (D.-Pa.) Is au
thor of a bill to continue rent
controls 27 months beyond March
31, expiration date of the pres
ent law. At Washington yester
day, Myers called tne plan of
Tulsa landlords to take their
rental properties off the market
a revolt against ordinary decency."
Senators Cain (R.-Wash.) and
Robertson (D.-Va.) also criticized
the proposal to evict from 600 to
1,000 Tulsa tenants in protest
against pending legislation to ex
tend and strengthen rent con
trols. 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.
Cain, lukewarm about extend
ing controls in any form, said in
an interview:
"The thing for them to do Is
to fight out the battle with their
government ana abide by the
rules laid down by Congress. It
Is not proper for them to threaten
the government."
Both Cain and Robertson are
members of the Senate Banking
Committee which will consider
proposals to extend rent controls
up to 27 months.
DENVER, Jan. 27 (Pi The
president of the Denver Property
Owners Association said vester-
day more than 6,000 tenants will
be evicted If federal rent control
Is extended beyond March 31.
James E. Renner said landlords
have no quarrel with tenants but
property owners would be unable
to "survive" under further rent
ceilings.
