Today, police of Medford will
begin participation in the nation
wide brake check program in an
effort to reduce accidents and
conserve the dwindling supply
of cars, according to Clatous
McCredie, chief of police.
By means of a new and simple
check police hope to locate the
most dangerous brakes in use
and to warn . motorists of the
urgency of getting their brakes
adjusted or repaired. The check
will be applied only to passenger
cars involved in traffic viola
tions, where the car is moving,
and in accidents. Brakes will
also be checked on cars which
ere operated in a manner Indi
cating the brakes are unsafe.
Wood Block Used
"The brake check takes only
a minue to make", according to
Chief McCredie. "In making the
check, the officer will place a
wood block one inch thick on
the floor board under the foot
pedal. He then depresses the
pedel. If it strikes the block be
fore the brakes begin to grip
the brakes will be considered In
adequate and in need of imme
diate attention. If the brakes
grip while the pedal is slightly
more than one inch from the
floor board they are not to be
considered safe and the driver
will be urged to have corrective
measures taken, McCredie said
"The brake check is deter
mined after careful research.
and it is based on the pedal
pressure needed to stop cars
safely. The average car requires
about 130 pounds of pedal pres
sure to permit brakes to do the'
best job of stopping the car.
with only one inch of effective
distance left in applying the
brakes, it is possible to build up
only about 50 pounds of pedal
pressure which is far less than
is needed for proper stopping.
Not Blanket Check
"This brake check does not
blanket all motorists. It applies
only' to conditions cited above.
However, motorists in general,
for their own protection and
safety and to conserve their owa
cars are urged to cooperate. II
motorists have any doubt as to
the safety of their brakes, they
should have them tested imme
diately and have them adjusted
and repaired as soon as pos
sible," said Chief McCredie.
Ministerial Head
Requests Tributes
To Dead President
"In keeping with the spirit of
the passing of our revered Pres
ident and Commander-in-chief,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, lt Is fit
ting that we pay tribute to the
memory of this high ranking
statesman and world leader. We
have been shocked and mourn
fully dispirited over the untime
ly passing of this indomitable
wprld figure, our common
friend and esteemed president,
therefore as president of the
Medford Ministerial Association,
I am issuing a call to all minis
ters of the Association to Include
in your Sunday April fifteenth
church worship period, a fitting
memorial to the passing1 of our
honored president."

residents of Sutherlin, who have
no doctor.
A rotation plan providing for
three visits a week was worked
out by the four doctors. Suther

Even though your electric service
was already your biggest household
bargain, your electricity is now
cheaper than ever. Copco's residen
tial customers get twice as much
electricity for their electrical dollar
as Mr. Average American Citizen
get for his.
While other living costs move up
ward and almost everything else in
your home has increased in cost
your residential electric rates are cut
$165,000 a year.
Your rates have been reduced in
spite of sharp increases in our taxes.
For 1945 our tax bill will be nearly
$1,900,000 thirty-one cents out oi
every dollar you pay us for electric
service will go lor taxes!
It is the constant aim of California
Oregon's employees, by efficient busi
ness management, to give you the
highest standard of electric service
at the lowest possible cost. This sub
stantial reduction in rates is your best
: possible assurance of still lower rates
in the future.
