Newspaper Page Text1 A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. u Thursday. Oct. 1, 1959 Drivers Reminded To Use Lights Early Now's the time of year when driven need to be re minded to turn on headlights a little earlier, according to Police Chief Charles Champ lin. Chief Champlin said drivers should make a special effort to turn on lights when dusk approaches as it gives other drivers and pedestrians a bet ter chance to see an approach ing car. The chief also issued the usual fall reminder about driving in fog. He pointed out headlights on low beam are proper for driving in fog day or night. ' 13 - liht.. aijfcjiig xjiiia wiiiv.il lliaujr people use when driving in fog during the day are illegal, he said. In Medford, as in other areas in thp staffs the hiohect number of accidents occur from about 3 to 6 p.m. During fall and winter months, a large part of this period comes just at dusk. From a dollars and cents standpoint, he said, operating headlights cost little and could prevent an accident.

"HOW TO BORROW MONEY Based on new book "Kiplinger's Family Buying Guide You've got a 20- or 30-year mortgage; your wife wants to add a new room for baby; your medical bills are overwhelming. You need money, but from where, from whom? You'll learn the answers to these and other ques tions in a new series appearing in Neuberger Lauds Handling of Termination : Klamath Falls - (UPD - Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) today called handling of Kla math Indian reservation ter mination "a unique example of true democracy at work.' Te told service clubs at a noon luncheon that "the de cision of many of those direct ly involved to set aside parti san politics and business ad vantages in the interests of our state enabled us to save a forest, a tribe of Indians and a wildlife refuge from certain destruction." Neuberger had praise for Republican Agricultural Sec retary-Ezra Taft Benson for his role in insuring the reser vation's Ponderosa timber would be cut under , sustained yield management. "Secretary Benson does not fit the mold: of: a liberal's hero," Neuberger said. "But at the crucial juncture of our efforts to protect; this giant forest . . . when the House of Representatives had elimi nated provisions guaranteeing sustained yield, he sent to the conference committee a letter declaring that the Forest Serv ice could not accept responsi bility for supervising the tim ber effectively -unless it had the legal authority to prevent it from being cut recklessly. This letter, said Neuberger, "swung the balance." . . . Ratio oi Doctors To Drop Sharply Washington -IUPD- The Pub- lie Health Service says the ratio of doctors to the U.S. population will drop sharply by 1975 unless medical schools start graduating substantially more students. The PHS estimated that there would be only 126 doc tors per 100,000 persons by that year if the present trend continues. Based on the 100, 000 figure, the ratio has ranged between 131 to 135 for the past 20 years. In a publication released Wednesday, the service also warned that the ratio of den tists may decline even : more sharply by 1975. That ratio was 62 per 100,000 persons in 1940, 57 in 1958 and is expect ed to decline to about 50. .. The ratio of nurses, how ever, has increased nearly five-fold in the United States since 1910. This ratio, 268 in 1958, is expected to climb to 284 in 1970.

" , Defensive Driving Is Encouraged by Police The first responsibility as a driver is to avoid an accident, Medford Police Chief Charles Champlin said today. Many drivers are so con cerned about who has the right-of-way at uncontrolled intersections that they forget their responsibilities, he ad ded. Intersection accidents, one of the leading types of Oregon accidents, could be re duced if drivers would prac tice a little ' more defensive driving, Champlin said.' "Everyone knows," he said, "that a driver is expected to yield to the car on his right, but in driving a driver nor mally should check to his left first. The first opposing traf fic will be from his left, and if that car fails to give right-of-way he may be struck from the side." . - MARY CHRISTMAS DIES Racine, Wis.-ttJPD - Services were being arranged today for Mrs. Mary Christmas, 72, who made a career out of dispensing yuletide cheer: She died Wednesday. In crossing uncontrolled in tersections with two-way streets, he continued, defin sive drivers never satisfy themselves with one quick look in either direction. "They look left, then right and then for an added mar gin of safety they take an other good look in both direc tions." Oregon motor vehicle acci dent figures indicate that there were 6,531 angle collis ions at intersections in urban areas last year out of a total of 25,176 intersection "mis haps. Eleven of these pro duced fatalities, 4,796 resulted in property damage and 1,724 resulted in injuries.
