Supported All Legislation
Essential to War Effort,
Also Forestry Legislation.
Reporting to the voters of
the Fourth Congressional Dis
t r 1 c t, Representative Harris
Ellsworth today issued a state
ment covering his activities dur
ing the past two years as Con
gressman and reaffirmed his
policies announced in 1942.
Ellsworth mentioned his activi
ties In carrying out these poli
cies and stated that he had sup
ported all appropriations and
legislation essential to the war
effort and resolutions designed
to promote lasting peace.
Referring to the principal in
dustry and source of employ
ment for labor in the district,
buswortn sam, i nave taken a
leading part in the handling of
forestry legislation." The re
port calls specific attention to
three bills enacted 'which pro
vide for more adequate fire pro
tection, the taking of a forest
inventory, and program for sus
tained forest yield to perpetu
ate our forests.
Development Aim
Three big steps have been
taken toward his objective of
developing the resources of the
district, according to Ellsworth.
At Albany has been established
the new Bureau of Mines electro-metallurgical
1 a b o r a t ory
which will be a research center
for devising ways to utilize
northwest mineral deposits. For
the utilization of abundant
aluminum bearing clays such as
those near Cottage Grove, a
plant at Salem will perfect pro
cesses for the production of
alumina. At Springfield is be
tna constructed the first plant
In America for production of al
cohol from wood waste. This
represents the beginning of a
great new Industry using forest
products. Coal and chrome de
posits In the Coos Bay area re
ceived special attention for fu
ture development.
Statementi Renewed
Pointing out the necessity of
dealing directly with the cen
tralized powers in Washington,
Ellsworth mentioned his serv
ices to industry, agriculture,
city, county and local govern
ment subdivisions, and toindi
viduals on problems with the
War Food Administration, War
Production Board, Office of
Price Administration, and other
federal agencies. Aid was given
on numerous questions involv
ing rationing, food distribution,
priorities, price regulations, ma
chinery and equipment, build
ing and road construction, cold
storage and locker facilities
coming from communities
throughout the district.
Discussing his general views
on legislation, Ellsworth re
newed his 1942 statements con
cerning "waste in non-war ex
penditures", "intelligent nation
al old age benefits", "fair deal
for all labor", and "fair prices
and good markets" for agricul
ture. Ellsworth is completing
his term as the first congress
man of the fourth district.

It Pays To Look Backward
Editorial by Charles V. Stanton
in Roseburg News-Review
There is an old adage to the
effect that "foresight is better
than hindsight." But this say
ing is not altogether true when
applied to operation of motor
vehicles, asserts Ward McReyn
olds, license examiner for the
state motor vehicle department.
McReynolds, who has con
ducted tests of many thousands
of applicants for drivers' li
censes, says that lack of alert
ness to rear traffic is the prin
cipal cause of automobile acci
dents. More wrecks occur from
the rear than from frontal traf
fic, he states, basing his state
ment upon a long study of offi
cial reports.
Failure to give proper signals
and improper turning habits are
also contributing factors to
many accidents, both, however,
being related to a disregard of
rear, McReynolds says.
Too much reliance, the ex
aminer declares, is placed upon
the rear view mirror, which af
fords a very limited range of
vision and often fails to show
vehicles which have crawled
up In passing position, iviany
collisions result from automo
biles pulling into traffic from
parking places before drivers
have ascertained that there are
no cars approaching from the
rear, while in many cases no
signal of intention is given.
Drivers preparing to make
a right turn will often pull out
to the center lane to secure a
wider sweep In changing direc
tions, MrReynolds reports. Fol
lowing drivers frequently mis
take the intention of the opera
tor of the car ahead and cut
over to the far ripht thus caus
ing a collision. The examiner
was witness to a fatal accident
which resulted from the same
fault applied to a left turn.
The driver of the leading ve
hicle gave clear signal of his
intention to turn left, but in
stead of pulling out to the cen
ter lane, went to the extreme
right. The following driver,
presuming the signal to nave
been in error, stepped on Jils
accelerator and the resulting
collision killed the driver of
the leading automobile.
Applicants occasionally form
the impression we are unduly
severe when we refuse licenses
because of poor grades in the
written test or because of a
lack of driving ability," the ex
aminer said. "But these people
just don't know what is going
on in the traffic world. They
don't see the people mangled or
killed because of ignorance or
carelessness. We conduct exam
inations because by doing so
we promote traffic safety. We
must insist that drivers be fam
iliar with traffic rules and regu
lations and that they have suffi
cient ability to assure reason
able safety in operating motor
vehicles."
He recommends that every
person planning to take a driv
er's test secure and study the
driver's manual furnished free

will find difficulty with the
written examination unless he
has refreshed his memory by
a careful study of the rules and
regulations set forth in the
manual. This is particularly
true, he reports, in the case of
drivers from other states. He
cites the case of an applicant
who had driven an automobile
for 25 years in another state
and who became very indignant
when refused an Oregon license
because of failure to comply
with state rules.
McReynolds also warned that
driving tests must be refused
applicants who report with un
safe equipment. Drivers often
appear for tests in automobiles
lacking adequate brakes or hav
ing improper headlights, inop
erative windows, or possessing
other defects, he states. Tests
in such cases must be refused.
Oregon has made great strides
in us trattic safety program, i
ine system provided for exam
ining and testing drivers before
permits are granted has been an
important factor in accomplish
ing these most desirable results.
If, at times, the program seems
irksome to those who are re
quired to submit to the exami
nations, or, ii the examiners
may seem unreasonable in
granting requests, it should be
borne in mind that the entire
set-up is one to promote greater
traffic safety and that the lives
of the applicants and other
drivers are affected by the ef
ficiency with which the service
is performed.
