16 MAIL TRIBUNE, Merffon, Oregon, Friday, December 12, 1958 Juveniles Using Midget Racers on Streets Illegal Salem- (UPD -Director James F. Johnson of the State Motor Vehicles Department said to day that parents are apt to be in trouble if they let their children operate home-made or commercially-made quarter-midget racers on public streets. Johnson said he had re ceived reports of children as young as 11 operating such vehicles on streets or side walks without a motor ve hicle registration, operator's license, lights or brakes. The director said parents allowing their youngsters to operate such vehicles are do ing so in violation of the law and may be endangering the lives of the children. He pointed out that no driver's license is issued to anyone younger than 16. Cases in Court The Portland juvenile court of Judge Virgil Langtry has had a half dozen cases involv ing the midget vehicles, most of them involving 12 and 13-year-old youngsters. Cases have involved youngsters op erating on the wrong side of the street, cutting corners or driving on sidewalks. Judge Langtry said "The problem is more extensive than indicated by the number of cases that come before the juvenile court."
