EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIbu
State's Highways Must Be Clear
During a Large Scale Disaster
Tueidey, Jun 34, 1952
Editor'i Note: In coopera
lion with the local civil de
tain organization. The Mail
Tribune presents a series of
articles about Oregon's emer
gency traffic control plan. In
the event of any large-scale
disaster, hundreds of lives will
be saved if roads are kept
open. These articles contain a
message for all motorists.
' Americans are proud of their
automobiles. They enjoy the idea
of being able to drive anywhere,
As much as Oregonians dislike
thinking about any large-scale
disaster occuring in their stale.

the means of survival do not
come through wishful thinking
in this age of global warfare. As
motorists, we must face a real
problem: If an enemy attack
should occur, what happens if
Oregon's 700,000 automobiles
are out on the roads at the same
time?
The answer is simple, of
course. No matter how thorough
the civil defense plans, no mat
ter how many specialists are
trained and ready to help the
stricken area, there would be
chaos. Hundreds who would
have been saved would die
through default. Emergency ve
hides wouldn't get through
when roads are jammed. And
most important, as far as our na
tional survival is concerned, we
wouldn't be able to maintain
production.
How can this picture be
changed? It's up to all drivers.
One of the most Important mes
sages on civil defense is: In the
event of any disaster, especially
if its war-caused, remain at
home and help keep the high
ways clear for high-priority ve
hicles.
There, are many types of ve
hicles that must get through,
such as fire engines, ambulances,
police cars, mobile welfare
teams, medical teams, rescue
teams, utility trucks, and any
number of trucks carrying vital
supplies and equipment.
Article 2 will explain why
you are better off at home dur
ing an extreme emergency.
Hearing Set Today
On Crescent City
Terminal Dispute
Local gasoline distributors re.
ported Monday that a hearing on
the labor dispute which lias tied
up terminal facilities in Crescent
City, Calif., is scheduled for to
day. The dispute has tied up
shipments of gasoline here from
Crescent City since June 18,
The halt in shipments follow
ed an AFL Teamsters union
move to unionize oil terminals
there. Drivers for Asbury and
Acme Trucking companies,
which make most of the deliv
eries to distributors here, have
refused to cross picket lines
maintained by non - terminal
workers in Crescent City.
With the Crescent City supply
of oil products cut off in this
area, shipments are coming into
the Rogue valley over the Sis
kiyou mountains from Martinez,
San Pablo and other points in
the San Francisco bay area. De
liveries to Grants Pass and
points north are being made
from Portland.
One wholesale distributor here
reports shipments are now being
brought in from Eureka. It was
pointed out that, although trans
portation costs from new ship
ping points are higher, distrib
utors are absorbing these in
creases at the present time and
there has been no Increase in re
tail costs.
Dawson on Binge As Water Mains Clog
Dawson, Yukon (U.R) The
lady known as Lou and the rip-
snorting days of her era were
recalled nostalgically Tuesday
as Dawson went on a binge
1952 style.
The Yukon river has been rid
ing its spring thaw crest for
three weeks now, and sewer and
water mains have backed up.
Residents have been able to
obtain only "mud and corrup
tion" from their water taps and
the thirst" has become more
than a Saturday night figure of
speech. Parched throats were be
ing satisfied by the only uncon-
taminated liquids within easy
reach: beer, whisky and home
brew,
Liquor stores and beer parlors
reported sales more than quadru
pled. WEATHER

Saskatchewan River
Threatens Residences
Edmonton, Alta. (U.R) The
North Saskatchewan river, on
its wildest rampage since 1944,
was rising at the rate of six
inches an hour Tuesday and
threatened the homes of 1,000
persons.
Flood level of 75 feet was ex
pected to be surpassed sometime
Tuesday and residential areas
prepared for the swirling muddy
water that would pour over the
river banks.
The river levelled at 79 feet
in the 1944 flood and at 90 feet
in 1915 when it staged Its worst
spree.
Husband Too Busy;
Wife Gets Divorce
Liverpool, Eng (U.R) Mrs.
Leonard Gabriel, 27, has been
granted a divorce because her
husband claimed he was "too
busy around the house" to con
summate their marriage.
Married in 1945, Gabriel serv
ed in the Royal Navy until a
year later. But even after Gabriel
returned home, Judge Fraser
Harrison said, he "made no at
tempt to approach his wife al
though . . . any man married to
her would be attracted by her
physical appearance.
"It is incredible that the hus
band, rejoining her from the
Navy, should make no normal
approach to her."
As We Live
TEEN-AGERS MAY NOT RATE
PRIVILEGE OF FAMILY CAR
American teen-agers of today
act as if they had no legs. They
want the family car for every
possible occasion and feel
abused when they are told they
cannot have it. Many parents
disapprove of teen-age driving
and hesitate to turn over a car
to a teen-ager whenever he asks
for it. This 17-year-old girl
whose father will not let her
have the family car feels abused:
(Q) "I have a lot of trouble
getting the family car. My dad
Just doesn't trust me with it.
When my brothers were my
age, they used to get the car
to go roller skating. Now my
dad blows his top when I ask
for it. All my girl friends get
US Defeat in Korea
Said Unparalleled
Moscow (U.R) The Soviet
Literary Gazette said Tuesday
the United States had suffered
a military and political defeat
in the Korean war that was un
paralleled in American history.
An article published on the
eve of the war's second anniver
sary claimed that American casu
alties in one year of the war
totalled more than half of the
U. S. losses in World War II.
It placed total United Nations
losses at 600,000 men.

' their dads' cars to go to the
show or whatever else they
want to do. When they ask me
when I am going to get my
dad's car. I lie to ihum be
cause I don't want them to
know my own dad won't trust
me. What can I do to make
him trust me?"
(A) Are you sure that your
father's action Is because he does
not trust you? Isn't it possible i
that he thinks girls of your age
should use
public trans
portation, if
the distance is
too far to
walk? When a
family has
only one car
for the entire
family, it Is
not fair for a .
teen-ager to tie ;
it up so that
the rest of the family is deprived i
of its use. This is especially true ,
if the father uses the car for !
business.
Then, too. you may not have i
shown qualities in your every- i
day behavior that your father ;
feels are essential in a good
driver. It takes more than know
ing the mechanics of a car to
be a good driver. You must have
degree of stability and quick
thinking to be a safe driver.
Age Doesn't Count
Just because a teen-ager
reaches the age where the law
says he or .ihe may drive a car
does not mean that he automat
ically has the privilege of doing
so. Many parents feel that, in
view of the high accident rate
for teenage drivers, they would
rather be safe than sorry so far
as their own teen-age children's
driving is concerned. Further
more, they think young people
should not feel that they en
not go out unless they have
car. How, for example, could ,
they keep up the expenses of a
car if they had to assume thii
responsibility themselves?

ICE CREAM HOLIDAY OFFENDER
Ice Cream that wonderful, tasty stuff Is m real holiday offender.
With summer now on the calendar, many a mother will, for a moment
or two, wish It had never been Invented.
It needn't be too biff a headache, really. Here are a few tlpi on
how to Keep the problem of Johnny-or-Susy-and Screem-Soone to a
minimum.
As soon as the Ice cream has stained the garment, wash off all of
It that you can with a moist cloth.
Use water only. 1
Later, when the garment has beeu taken off, soak It In clear water
prior to washing.
Be sure, of course, that the stain has been completely washed out
before Ironing.
The above applies, of course, only to washable garments.
On dry-cleanable garments, leave the stain completely alone. Do
not wipe or rub In any way. This merely works the stain Into the fibres
and make It much more difficult to remove.
Bring that garment to us to be cleaned as soon after staining as
practical. And, when you do, please tell us about the stain. Some
times a stain Is not easily seen, and unless told about It we might not
employ the special "spot Digesting' technique called for.
In any event, either way whether you wash It out yourself, or
bring It to us to be cleaned you may be sure of complete Ice cream
spot removal as well as good cleaning, always, when you
BRING IT TO
