Clean-Up, Traffic Problems
Among Subjects Discussed
At Session Of Toastmasters
Discussion of Roseburg's traffic and clean-up problem! high
lighted the Tuesday evening meeting ot the Roseburg Toastmaster s
. club.
Carl Permln, speaking on the city's traffic problem, recounted
the developments announced recently on relocating highway 99
through Roseburg on a two-street, one-way basis. The need for
such a move cannot be disputed, he said.
However, Permln declared the
highway planners should urge In
stallation of left turn lanes, "at
least every other block." He said
this would assure motorists easy
access to Jackson and Cass
streets, "the heart" of Rose
burg's business district. Permln
also spoke of the need for more
traffic lights Installed on down
town city streets.
Tom Coates, speaking on
"Roseburg's Clean-up Problem",
opened his talk with an anecdote
"Which does not apply to Rose
burg." He said in pne American

city, a city policeman stopped a
constable to give a traffic ticket.
When paper from the policeman's
ticket book fluttered to the street,
the constable retaliated by giv
ing the policeman a ticket for
littering the city's streets.
A general educational cam
paign to make local citizens a
ware of the value of keeping
Roseburg's streets clean was
urged by Coates. He said people
of Roseburg should be urged to
use the paper disposal containers
placed on downtown street cor
ners by service clubs.

Creation", was the subject of a

causes of highway accidents,
Slabaugh said a prime cause was
lack of courtesy.
"How often have you seen
cars crowding so close together,"
he asked, "that others could not
pass; how often have you seen
drivers block side-road entranc
es by jamming up in the inter
sections?"
Lack of courtesy on the part
of sight-seers is another cause
of accident and death on the high
way, he said.
Speed and carelessness are two
more big causes of accidents, he
said. The mania to pass every
thing on the road and attempts
to make up for lost time account
for much of the speeding so pre
valent. Under the carelessness
heading, Slabaugh listed such it
ems as failure of drivers to look
both directions before pulling
away from the curb and what he
termed "mere devilry," an offense
of which the young drivers are es-

However, the greatest single
cause of highway accidental
death is poor judgment, Slabaugh
said. Drivers who are too young,
either in age or in mental devel
opment, account for 45 percent
of the deaths. Poor evesight ac
counts for 30 percent "of the ac
cidents, with drunken drivers re
sponsible for an additional 20 per
cent. Checks to curb the increase of
highway accidents should include
more stringent- driver's license
examinations, a definite code on
highway courtesy and a require
ment for more driving exper
ience, Slabaugh said.
Table Topicmaster Dr. S. L,
De Lapp assigned to all members
