Veteran Racer
In Safety Drive
A veteran of 16 Indianapolis
500-mile races and a professional
car wrecker for the movies told a
capacity audience at Allen school
last night that ordinary city and
highway driving scares him. Cliff
Bergere, who looks less like a
race driver than most bankers,
appeared before junior chamber
of commerce members and others
who attended the meeting as a
part of the two-and-a-half year
old highway safety program of
a spark plug company.
Paul Huter, Portland, acted as
master of ceremonies for the
program, which included films
of air, land and water races and
a demonstration of devices used
in checking drivers' reaction-
time, depth perception and width
ot vision. Henry N. Fowler intro
duced J. Wilson Bilyeu, Bend
high school driving instructor,
who spoke on the progress and
results of the local safe-driving
program. Phil Gould, of the ju
nior chamber of commerce, eave
details on the formation of the
new Deschutes county safety
council.
Gives Demonstration
In the afternoon Bergere had
taken Jack Halbrook. whose firm
donated the car used for high
school instruction, Fowler, Bilyeu
and police officer A. O. Pearce
on a demonstration drive in the
safety program's car, a convert
ible. Starting from in front of the
city hall, they twice traveled a
one and three-tenths mile route
through the downtown district.
The first time, Bergere observed
all traffic rules; the second time
he ignored them driving as most
motorists do from time to time.
Net results of this were a loss of
13 seconds, 57 violations of traffic-
laws, and hypothetical minimum
fines totaling $279.
Some of the violations recorded
were weaving from one lane to
another, failing to make boule
vard stops, excessive horn blow
ing, driving through gas stations.
failing to give hand signal, reck
less driving, cutting corners and
making a right turn from the
center lane.
These tests, so far conducted in
about 260 cities, generally show
that time gained by driving fast
and carelessly amounts to a neg
ligible 15 or 20 seconds in travel
ing the usual one to two miles
used. For a longer distance it is
not much greater, according to
Bergere.
Fifty miles an hour Is the
maximum safe speed on high
ways, believes Bergere, who says
that "if we all considered the
other driver, gave proper hand
signals and drove more yith our
heads instead of the horn and ac
celerator, the slrcels and high
ways would be more pleasant, to
say nothing of cutting down our
horrible traffic toll."

Enroute With Truman, Nov. 4 ;U.E) President Truman
began his triumphal return to Washington and four more
years in the White JHouse at 8 a.m. CST., today.
The man from the "show-me" state who showed the world
with his stunning victory at the polls boarded his special train
at Independence, Mo., with his wife, Mrs. Bess Truman, and
daughter, Margaret.
The president was in great form at the railroad station.

told the trackside crowd
He joked with reporters
and photographers and shook
hands with friends, among
them II. R. Burgess, an ex

been decided.
He told a crowd that jammed a
full block of the wide street In
front of the courthouse that it
was "not my victory, but a vic

for the people."
"This celebration is not for
