Committee In charge includes Helen Ram mln, Beverly Pierson and Irene The Drinking Driver To the editor: Last week we suggested that traffic accidents would be re duced If periodic driving tests were required of young and middle aged drivers similar to those now required after 70. But important as that is, a far darker menace to public safety is the drinking driver. of any age; the man or woman in the first stage of intoxica tion, in which they feel them selves capable of driving their cars safely anywhere, at such speed as they desire; but whose hand and eye and brain are already a little abnormal, off balance. We are confident that the court records will sustain us in calling the drinking driver the star actor In traffic tragedies. Yet the state hands driving li censes to thousands of people known to be patrons of the liquor joints, and asks no ques tions, touching that matter. The examination ignores the whole subject. Such investigations are post poned till after the accident. Was it simply forgotten? Oh no! But you see we need revenue, and we never did like taxes. So we make vast provisions for, and offer strong inducements to, thousands of people to form the drinking habit. Then we hand them their driving li censes. The natural result is a multitude of traffic accidents. just a case of cause and effect. Then we grow stern with them and impose fines, and in that way we hook them for revenue. coming and going. It would be funny if It were not so tragic; and if this trading of public safety for revenue were not so criminally dumb. I The preventive measure that we suggest will be called too drastic. But this staggering toll we pay In wreckage, pain and death Is Intolerable and does not call for mild palliatives. As the drinking habit dis qualifies a man for driving a locomotive, or an air liner, so it should disqualify him for driving a car on our streets and highways. Why should we all be placed In jeopardy by those who make themselves abnormal, off balance, by drink? And as drinking renders a Eugene, Oct. 26.

RED LIGHT "CRASHER" ASSESSED $50 FINE John A. Fuller. 38, of Klam ath Falls "crashed" the red stop light at Main street and Central avenue Tuesday night, an act which cost him a $50 fine In city police court Wednesday on a charge of reckless driving. Fuller, who told police he was a contractor working on a job in Ashland, was driving south on Central avenue when he disre garded the signal. To banish what he termed confusion" in the minds of hunters, Postmaster Frank De- Souza today explained the pro cedure to be followed In the utilization of federal waterfowl stamps. Anyone hunting water fowl is required to purchase and have in his possession one of the government stamps. One stamp covers the hunting season. The stamps expire on June 30 in the year of issuance. The confusing part, Mr. De- Souza said, is what to do with the stamp. The important thing, he said, is that the hunter him self must write his name in ink across the face of the stamp prior to taking any waterfowl. This procedure is reauired. he emphasized. The stamp, after being can celled with the hunter's name. must be carried by the hunter ana a transparent container was suggested by hunters as the most convenient. The federal stamp, it was emphasized, should not be stuck to hunting licenses. Of course, Mr. DeSouza pointed out, a hunter, after pur chasing a federal stamp, must comply with all state and fed eral hunting laws. Receipts from the stamp sale go to maintenance of bird refuges. The stamps may be pro cured at any postoffice. Here they may also be procured at station 1, 129 North Central ave nue. The main office closes at noon Saturday but the sub-sta tion remains open till 8, Mr. DeSouza pointed out. MICHIGAN STAR FACES ALL-AMERICAN TEST IN YALE GAME Fifty percent of the rlrnwn.
