FIRE IS THEIR WORST ENEMY -PROTECT THEM I ni It l i (A JJ Death Posted As First Prize In Auto 'Gomes' For Teen-Age Group BY BRUCE BIASSAT Not long ago a Chicago policeman reported this: Some teen agers assembled on a lonely street and drew a white iine down the middle of the pavement for sevral hundrd yards. Then they piled into two cars placed at opposite ends of the chosen section. Suddenly the cars leaped for ward and hurtled toward each other at gathering speed, keep ing close to the white line. At what seemed the last possible in stant, one veered off and avoided a head-on crash. This was no wild, suicidal ges ture of a gang of fugitives from a mental hospital. These were nor mal youngsters and this was a game. Sport 1949 version. First man to turn off the white line, you see, loses the game. This is only one exampleof a fantastic fad that has swept the nation's youth. To be fashionable in the teen-age set these days, a lad needs a souped-up "hot rod" or a friend with one, some nervy pals and a fiendish talent for cook ing up dealh-defying road stunts. Here are a few other popular antics right now: Half a dozen kids pack into a car, get going about 70 as every-1 one hovers as close as possible j to the wheel. 1 hen the driver lets go. The first one to touch the wheel is "chicken." Thirty who wouldn't be chicken died from this little pastime last year. Another trick is to have three boys crouch on the floor of a tar, operating the brake, clutch and accelerator at the driver's com mand. A weird game that might be called "rotation" doiiands a sedan, six youngsters and the inevitable 70 miles an hour. At that speed, the driver suddenly opens the front door of the car. The man next to him takes the wheel, while the first man works his way to the rear seat by the out side route. Meantime, a rear seat occupant has opened a door on the right and, fighting the wind, has man aged to get up into the front seat. This proctss is repeated until all six boys have driven the car or are laid out in the morgue. Needless to say, these crazy Invitations to death and destruc tion contribute heavily to the ab normally high accident rate among teen agers. The situation is so bad that Lumbermen Mutual Casualtv Company, taking a spe cial interest in the problems, has coined the word "teenicide" to describe these youthful dare devils. In 1947. last year with complete figures, 7500 persons under 25 years of age were killed in auto mobile accidents about a fourth of all traffic deaths. That's not the worst of It. When such a youth gets behind the wheel, the record shows he is at least twice as dangerous, as a mature adult. To illustrate from Just one age category, 16-year-olds are Involved in nine times as many accidents as the 45-50 group. James S. Kemper, head of Lum bermens Mutual, says the nation must combat this menace three ways: with sound programs to teach better driving, preferably in schools; with stricter enforce ment of traffic laws and tougher license requirements, and with better guidance and example from parents. The merit in all these seems obvious. We would put special stress on license requirements. They ought to be imposed in the four states that have none ana the age minimum raised in the eight that still license 16-year-olds. The stunter should lose his license for a long period. uy tnese ana other means we may be able to convey to our ad venturous youth that a car is not a gigantic toy to be handled like a kid's wind-up turned loose for a wild, pilotless dash amid the family furniture. Tavern Looted While Owner Is In Hospital PORTLAND, June 29.-WB A woman who beat off an attempt ed hold-up yesterday was con vinced today that you can't win. Vetha M. Howe whacked an armed man over the head with a club yesterday when he entered her tavern and growled, "this is a stickup." In return she braved a bullet that tore a hole in her clothing, but did not harm her. She thought he was bluffing with a blank cartridge at the time. When she learned the truth, they carted her off to a hospital. So the tavern stayed closed the rest of the day. loaay Mrs. Howe learned a prowler h.-id broken in after the closure and taken $150 in cur rency, food and cigarets. G.

Herman Talmadge's personal staff? Talmadge said at his press con ference yesterday, "I don't know." Grand Dragon Sam Green said, "Sure.

Throughout the 1948 euberna- torial campaign at various Klan rallies, Dr. Green plumped for the white supremacy candidate. Talmadge's campaign was Ded icated on maintaining white su premacy at the polls. BUS FARE TO BE UPPED EUGENE, June 29 UP) A straight 10-cent bus fare appears certain for Eugene next month.
