Thunday, January S, ItSf 5 MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. ORE. at Piggly IViggly You Always Save Twice In the Day's Hews By FRANK JENKINS 3 This year's death toll on our nation's highway! over the four-day New Year week-end holiday was smaller than ex pected. The all-time record for four-day New Year week end is 409. This grisly total was run up two years ago. . rpHIS year'i drop is a hope A ful sign. It must be as sumed that this year more cars were available to go on the roads than ever before, for car saturation in America is proceeding steadily. In ad dition, this year's weather was universally bad. Theoretically that increases the hazard. But bad weather also increases driver caution. Only a madman can be ex pected to go roaring into, a storm at high speed on slip pery roads. The bulk of our people are sane, so it may be that the bad weather in creased driver caution. . AT ANY rate, it sounds like drivers may have been more cautious this year That's about the only way, short of having a highway cop on the roads every 100 yards, that the highway death toll can be reduced. , . If the roads are to become safer, DRIVERS must become safer. The highway safety problem is largely an INDI VIDUAL problem. TOT unexpectedly, Calif or- nia has the highest death toll among the states, with 'more than 40 Dersons killed in traffic up to the time this is written. . That sounds bad. But it isn't ouite as bad as it sounds. California is the second larg est state. It has more auto mobiles than any other state. Its normal weather at the New Year season is such as to tempt more people to take to the roads. The more cars, the greater the traffic hazard. TUMPING from automobiles to space ships, Russia re ports that its cosmic rocket, which missed the moon, is be ginning to slant off into its orbit around the sun, thus be coming the first MAN-MADE planet. Question: Will it go whirling around the sun FOREVER? In Washington, U.S. space consultant Homer J. Stewart says PROBABLY NOT. He thinks it will return even tually to earth, although it may take HUNDREDS OF YEARS to get back. When (and if) it does get back, he says, its return to earth will be markcT"- a big flash in the sky - just lmt any other big meteorite. ' - Somehow that interests me ery little. fpHE Russians are prouder - than Punch of their achievement as they are '' entitled to be. ' "Sending a rocket into orbit around the sun takes some doing. It also takes some brains. F WASHINGTON, where the congress is beginning to reassemble, there is much talk of what WE must do to keep up with Lizzie, in this case being the U.S.S.R. Most of the talk has to do with SPENDING MONEY. . - Personally, I can't help feel ing that more than throwing money around will be required. Hope Wanes for Chionchio Infant New York -dlPB- Hope wan ed today for the possible re turn of tiny Lisa Rose Chion chio, kidnaped from a hospit al nursery last Friday less than 2i hours after her birth. , . Police, admittedly without i substantial clues or leads, searched sewers, cellars and the Coney Island beachfront in . their intensive hunt for the seven-pound infant. Detectives planned today to question a' New York . City woman, regarded as one of two .suspects in the mystery. The woman, said to match the description of the heavy bleached blonde believed to be the kidnaper, was located Wednesday in an Albany, N. Y., hospital, where she was "taken after allegedly swal lowing an overdose of aspir in. - - ' ". The woman, a former men tal patient, was . reported missing from her home on Sunday by her husband. The only other "suspect" has been identified as Mrs. ; Betty Jean Benedicto, 31, of Stockton, Calif., who is want ed by San Francisco police for parole violation. Mrs. Benedicto served a year in prison for kidnapping a new--born infant in 1955. . California authorities say she, too, resembles the wom an nurses saw surreptitious ly enter and leave St. Peter's, hospital about the time of the I kidnaping, - J Sif fif rf( GREEN I GREEN I V I STAMPS ' STAMPS .
