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.

ference yesterday, "I don't know."
Grand Dragon Sam Green said,

didn't know where to find a. copy
of staff appointments.
ine matter of Dr. ureen s staff
membership was brought up by a
reporter after another newspaper
man, earlier in the week. sDotted

commission in Dr. Green's office.
1 his commission, dated Nov. 17,
1948, bore Talmadge's name and
designated Dr. Green as a lieu
tenant colonel and aide-de-camp.
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.

For many years Lucky Strike scientists have
delved into cigarette research on an extensive
scale. Out of this has grown an elaborate system
of quality control. Every step in the making of
Luckies from before the tobacco is bought until
the finished cigarette reaches you comes under
the laboratory's watchful eye. Literally hundreds
of precision tests are conducted daily to make cer
tain that the Lucky Strike you smoke is a finer,
milder, more enjoyable cigarette. As you read this,
a constant stream of tobacco . . . samples from
every tobacco-growing area ... is flowing into the
laboratory in Richmond, Virginia. These samples
are scientifically analyzed, and reports of their
quality go to the men who buy at auction for the
makers of Lucky Strike.
Armed with this confidential, scientific infor
mation and their own sound judgment these
men go after finer, lighter, milder tobacco. This
fine tobacco together with scientifically con
trolled manufacturing methods is your assur
ance that there is no finer cigarette in the world
today than Lucky Strikel
