It is usually chilly, and ice on the streets i3 not unusual. Motorists haven't quite got the hang of winter driving yet, after the long spring, summer and fall. Fog, rain, snow and sleet are apt to complicate things further. Crowds are bigger, as people rush to complete their Christmas shopping. In the hustle and bustle, they are apt to be a. bit less careful than usual. . Christmas "cheer" .of the liquid variety flows more freely,' lessening the discretion, and ability of those who partake. .- 'J TF. THERE'S anything, whiclv is almost as bad as -" getting killed, in traffic," it's, killing someone else. It might even be worse, for everyone has to die some time, but living with the knowledge that you were responsible for a death must be almost insufferable. Now- these are things that everyone knows, but don't always realize, on the theory that ."It can't happen to me." ' The theory is comfortable, and untrue. And it is. doubtful if anything anyone' says, edi torially or otherwise, will make much difference. But it might, which is the -reason that safety 6fficials, police officers and editorial writers keep on plugging. - "THERE are" two classes of people who get klled in traffic "accidents: Drivers and pedestrians. " Last December,' four Oregon pedestrians were killed, and 158 were injured. The Oregon Traffic Safety Commission' said that some pedestrians are "asking" for trouble by sloppy walking habits such as .jaywalking, or crossing the street against "wait", signals. Other pedestrian errors listed include : Obscuring vision under an umbrella or behind a mountain of packages, failing to check for turning cars at intersections, or assuming ' that drivers will yield the right-of-way just: because the law says to. a . ACTUALLY, there are some' instances where the. " pedestrian does not have the right of way, despite a father common misconception to the contrary. They do not have it when walking against a signal, nor when outside of a crosswalk. . The point, however,' is that one-can be killed just as dead when one has the right .of way as. when one doesn't, although the chances are. less. A S FOR drivers, anyone with an operator's license' " knows,- or should know, the "dos" and "don'ts" of safe driving. The problem is in getting them to 'follow the rules.' . . There is a hint that, are getting a bit better. The number of traffic ac cidents has, of course, gone up and up in recent years. But the increase has been because of the increased number of vehicles, not because of a higher rate of accidents. In 1955, for instance, there was a rate Of 6.4 deaths per 100 million miles of vehicle travel. In 1941, there were 12 deaths for. the same distance of travel, and in the-first year the statistics were kept, 1927, the rate was 16.3 deaths per" 100. million miles. STATISTICS are interesting enough, as they show trends and percentages and averages and so on. But they do not show the cause- such as the 38,300 persons killed last year, and the thousands more that were injured. Our principal interest in these statistics of death should be to avoid becoming one either as a driver involved in an accident, or a pedestrian victim. Our "best chance to do this .is to be constantly on the defensive to assume that the next car that comes, along .will do some darn fool thing, and to be ready for it. "This may be. hard on the nerves, but you might live longer; E.A. .... ; Highways for People . . Robert 'Moses, the Lord High Everything Else about civic betterment in and around New York, wains of' some potential dangers- in the vast new federal highway system now getting under way. In the current. Harper's magazine, Moses reports that the federal' highway act makes no provision for the control of billboards, and he is afraid that much of the advantage of beautiful new four-lane high ways, .sweeping across-.country, would be lost if they became lined with marching ranks of billboards. . "LIE HAS another warning to-the effect that with A limited aceess and no -roadside business permit ted, the highway, travelers .will have to leave the .highway to find gasoline, oil, coffee, meals or rest rooms. This, he -says, will be an inconvenience, a threat to the highway safety the highways themselves are designed to protect, - and a menace to .orderly development just off the highway rights of way. He thinks that -government-operated, or fran chised, facilities of this -type, carefully regulated, should be incorporated into plans for the highways. (Upstate papers have pointed out that the Baldock free way from south of Salem to Portland has no facilities for : such conveniences, and that one has to go considerably off the main line to find them.) OE SUGGESTS, and we concur, that during the . 13-year life of the big highway construction proj.ect, interested motorists keep tab on how things are going, and work constructively to prevent such hazards as he describes, and others now unforeseen. - The highways belong to the people who use them and pay-for them, and we, as the owners, have every right to make our needs and desires known to the .officials who have the responsibility for putting our wishes into etiect. h.A.

WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) For the most meaningful words in Adlai E. Stevenson's latest political pronouncement you must skip his statement that he will not again seek the presi dency. P r a c t i cal politic ians were count ing Stevenson but of the I960- presi dential picture before half the returns were in election eve. It was evident by then that he was a two-time loser, both by .big margins. The most significant language in Stevenson's statement reveals his intention to have his say in party counsels in the making of party policy, "In my-opinion," he added, "the greatest service the Demo cratic Party can. now render is a strong, searching and con structive opposition." The question, shortly to come up' for decision when Congress meets next month is. just what strong, searching and construc tive opposition means. Another - question is this: In Ms role as elder statesman, will Stevenson go along with the mm, '- 'A Lyie i. wtlsoa Communications Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address .of the writer, although under certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initial for publication is permissible. The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all. letters with a view to clarification and condensation. Letters, submitted for publication must pot exceed 400 words. Gifts and Sharing To the Editor: I do not want to offend anybody or spoil any one's fun, but as another Christ mas season is .ushered in, I find myself wondering if there are other places in the world as ad dicted as is Jackson County to so-called gift exchanges. In past years I've found myself grow; ing increasingly allergic to the idea' of buying a 50-cent gift someone else probably doesn't need or -want, to exchange for one of similar value I don't espe cially' need or want. If the prac tice were limited to children I suppose I might feel differently ' about it,- but. I belong to no. less than four adults groups that tra ditionally hold gift exchanges, and I know there are many more in the county in which the cus tom is observed. .. . ' This year when so much of the world seems to be coming unglued at the seams, and resul tant human, misery has reached such appalling proportions that it defies one s imagination to picture it, I haven't the heart to go through with more of these meaningless Christmas parties, so' I am abstaining-from all of them. Instead I am adding the $2 I would have spent on these un needed gifts, to the sum I am contributing to overseas relief in the hope that others will follow suit. After all, unless our beliefs are wholly pagan, when we keep Christmas we are commemorat ing the birth of One who ex: perienced " the tribulations and sorrows of exile from home and country, for He and His family were once refugees fleeing from the wrath of a dictator who sought His destruction. As we' pause in ' our indecision over whether His birthday this year shall be for us primarily a time for forgetting, or a time fdr' shar ing . our great abundance with those who have nothing, His voice still sounds clearly across the intervening centuries to re mind us that-with what- mea sure we mete, it shall be measur ed to us again in our own hour of -greatest need; .and that inasmuch-as we do it unto one of the least of these, His brethren, even these least, we do it unto Him. . . Name and Address on File Cold Winter Ahead To the Editor; Probably the most unusual phenomenon in local weather history was the first three days of December be ing almost identical in regards to fog and frost. May not occur quite the same again in a cent ury. According to ancient Egyptian lore and tradition, the first three days of December foretell, the three months of winter weather. That may interpret the coming general trend for December, Jan uary and February. That also coincides with the tendency -of the planet Mercury indicating as severe and cold until February, with snow in higher elevations. The new solar year' beginning March 21, 1957 will be ruled by the moon and forecasts a cold damp Spring with fog. "That is what the seer said." Bert Kissinger, 520 Boardman st Medford, Ore. Elvis Presley's Hair-do To the Editor: It is amazing to me that in this land of great freedoms; freedom of speech, press, religion, and many, many rothers, that a boy cant choose Democratic leadership, of Con gress or team up with the Demo cratic left wing which has been critical of Senate Majority Lead er Lyndon B. Johnson and A major problem confronting elder statesman Stevenson was created by the trend toward breakup of the so-called solid South. He and his fellow party leaders probably must decide before 1960 what the Demo cratic Party must do to main tain, its hold on the relatively left-wing, big-city industrial vote without losing support in the relatively conservative South. Returns Jolted Liberals Presidential election returns in 1952 and this year consider ably jolted left-wing Northern leaders. The Republican Eisenhower-Nixon ticket broke sub stantially into' the South in both years. President Eisenhower steadily is moving the Republican Party toward what- FDR gently used to. call' the left of center. This is a political maneuver designed to entice from the Democrats large blocs of Northern voters, union men, Negroes and such who rallied years ago to the Roosevelt New Deal. Democratic leaders must con sider now what to do about that. Shall they lead their party fur ther to the left at the risk of losing Southern support? his own hair style. I am referr ing to the case Of Robert Phernet- ton, of course, champion of the Elvis Presley hair-do. He was expelled from school -just, he cause he wore his hair long. Recently he was accepted back in school because he relented and had his hair cut. Why should he have been the one to relent? Why indeed was there even.a ban on the haircut? The school of ficials said it was a sign of rebel lion. That "rebellion" could not have possibly hurt anyone. Those officials should save their energy for important matters. Many peo ple consider that. type of hair-do attractive, anyway. In the Friday, Nov. 30 paper there was'an article about a-Medford boy being' ordered to make restitution for a rifle and TO HAVE HIS -ELVIS PRESLEY HAIRCUT SHORN! What cori cern is it of the D. A.'s office if ' that boy wants to wear his hajr in that manner? . True, in the laws there is no one law that states a person can choose his own hair Style. Why should there be? There is no law against - it. The petty men who object so strongly to a haircut cannot pos sibly know the meaning of dem ocracy. This question Is bigger than just that of a haircut. This is the beginning of a dictatorship! Indignantly- yours, Carolyn Edwards (Crater High) -' Route 2, Box 332 Central Point, Ore. Haircuts' and "Crazes" . - To the Editor: It's a darn good thing Elvis has a haircut styled so it can be cut when schools or deputy district attorneys ob ject to it. What if 'Our Boy' had gone in for a Mohawk, flattop or butch?' I,- as a young mother, would like to know what physical- or mental hazard a haircut (certain style) has on a teenage boy? I have two ' young boys to raise and I sure wouldn't want to miss the boat. I'm 26, just-right to remember ".The Frankie Rage," "The- Cry Boy '' and a faint recollection of a "Tony Martin Cnish." And I just imagine, if I questioned mom and dadr I could list quite a few others way back when ' who did not-demoralize our or their generation because we liked or respected their type of music. . .

The Committee said that since the danger ol ranroaas i monopolizing tr a n s portationl long since was past, it was time to permit; competition to replace government regulation.
