Avoid Becoming a Statistic
December is the easiest month in which to get
killed.
It is the darkest month of the year. 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.

Stevenson's Remark
Reveals Problem of
Democratic Leaders
By LYLE C. 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

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. . .

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."

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,

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. . .

Editorial Comment
MORSE AND SILENCE
It has pt been too often in
late years weiave come to the
suJort of our voluble senior
senator, Wayne Morse, but he
gets3 our vote of confidence for
his recent statement, when asked
about the Middle East situation,
that "this is a time for senators
to be silent."
It waPshortly after Pearl Har
borpnot quite l)years ago, when
free nations from France to the
Philippines were being pum
melled by the Axis powers, that
congressmen in several quarters
fftgan shoirtine "where is the
fleet!" o U
That 'as a time, too, when
silence vftmld have been far
more golden than blasts. What
was left of the fleet was doing
plenty. We believe the adminis
tration is "doing plenty" now,
thafe Morse is right in keeping
still because, as he says, "this is
a time to give the administration
support for what is in the best
Lineest and what is necessary.
