it Methodist Bishop Tells of Visiting European Nations Today the people of Europe are looking up, Ri. Rev. A. Ray mond Grant, bishop of the Port land area of the Methodist church, told the Medford Rotary club in a luncheon address Tues day at the Jackson hotel. Just back from an extended overseas trip which took him to 13 countries, Rev. Grant ob served that the people of Europe appeared contented, optimistic 'and generally were grateful for U. S. assistance. This fourth trip gave the speaker a basis of com parison, and steady improve ment in the economy and strengthening of the home life of Europeans were noted. The U. S. must continue to bolster the economy of our neigh bors across the seas for this is the best bulwark against pagan communism that flourishes upon misery, despair and poverty, Rev. Grant emphasized. Alliances we make abroad must also be based upon mutual understand ing and respect. Personal interviews with those who live behind the iron curtain in East Berlin gave the speaker renewed hope that Christian re '""ligion is still strong where peo ple may be forced to bow to Communist authority but have not succumbed to it. Despite pressures, these East Berliners retain their faith and personal integrity. Dr. J. Scott Heatherington, Rotary program chairman, intro duced the speaker and Rotary Vice-President Weldon Kline had charge of the meeting in the absence of President Joe Naumes.

Similarity Noted In Farm Price Slump Cleveland U.P.) Jamie L. Whitten (D-Miss.), chairman of the Agricultural Appropriations Subcommittee, said yesterday that slumping farm income of the past two yeaTs bore "alarm ing similarity" to the decline that preceded the crash of 1929. Because of the decline, he told the 89th annual convention of the National Grange, Congress 'may be forced" to withhold agriculture funds until the ad ministration changes its pro gram. He told the Grange that the present agricultural policy "is not a farm program. It is a mid dleman's program." Dixonville Millwright Drowns in Mill Pond Roseburg (U.R) Thomas N.

Wednesday. November 23, 1955 MEDFORD (ORSGON) MAII. TRIBUNE THREE Police Chief Urges Active Part in Safe Driving Day Medford Police Chief Charles j 24-hour period each year. There 1 avoids accidents by anticipating Champlin today urged residents to actively participate in Safe Driving Day, Dec. 1. The day has been designated by President Eisenhower's com mittee for traffic safety to prove that motorists can .be careful on the highway. It is the second S-D Day for a second attempt to keep traffic accidents to an absolute minimum for a 24-hour period. Accidents in City Champlin pointed out that last S-D Day, there were two acci dents within the city limits of Medford, and one of those was not reported to police for inves tigation. He noted also' that sev eral days during the year are accident-free in Medford. Through Nov. 18, this year a total of. 381 accidents were in vestigated by Medford police within the city limitfe, and last year during the same period, some 73 were investigated. The 381 accidents thus far this year have resulted in 57 in juries, and two deaths, compared to 83 injuries and no deaths dur ing the same period last year. The city received two awards for having no fatalities within the city in 1954. Champlin pointed out that the number of accidents investigated by police is not the total num ber. Several accidents have oc curred which were not reported to local authorities, but were reported to the secretary of state. 429 Investigated During 1954, a total of 681 accidents in Medford were re ported to the secretary, of state, but of that total only 429 were investigated by Medford police. Champlin pointed out that safe driving should be practiced j a s r j i ' every uay, msieaa 01 auring uie are several suggestions which should be followed in checking the number of accidents, he said. Among items which have con tributed to fatalities in accidents, and which could have helped prevent accidents, are speed, me chanical condition of vehicle, physical condition of driver, weather conditions, time of day, highway courtesy, and too great a consumption of intoxicating beverages. Drives Defensively Champlin said a "safe driver drives defensively," a term used by professional drivers who tra vel thousands of miles each year without an accident. The defen sive driver, he pointed out, be lieves he "is unde attack" by careless operators, careless pe destrians and unsafe traffic con ditions at all times. "By driving in such, a man ner," Champlin said, "the driver Prisoners Offer Blood Transfusions for Judge Toledo, O. (U.R) Common Pleas Judge Thomas J. O'Con nor, recuperating from a stom ach ulcer operation, was much better today, thanks to volun tary blood transfusions from prisoners he put behind bars. After Judge O'Connor under went surgery Monday, hospital officials issued a plea for blood donations. Sheriff William Hirsch asked for volunteers and 18 trustees at the county jail re sponded. When the word got around to other inmates they also respond ed. The sheriff picked out six donors. . 1 and allowing for hazard condi tions." . Defensive drivers, he said, are not surprised by actions of other motorists or pedestrians, are cau tious at all intersections, and are aware of the amount of traction in stopping the vehicle under ad verse weather conditions.
