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. '

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.
Japanese Typhoon
Death Count Soars
To 3,625 Persons
Nagoya, Japan (LTD The
death toll in the worst ty
phoon in modern Japanese
history rose today to 3,625
persons. Another 1,773 were
listed as missing and 9,448 in
jured. Even as residents of Na
goya struggled to count the
dead left by typhoon Vera
and throw up temporary shel
ter for thousands of homeless,
the weather bureau warned
another typhoon may be on
its way.
The meteorological agency
in Tokyo said another devas
tating storm could hit the
Japaneses archipelago during
the first part of October.
Damage Seen Heavy
Officials estimated that ty
phoon Vera left $150 million
in damage. U. S. officials esti
mated damages to military
property at $2 million, half of
it at the huge Tachikawa Air
Base outside Tokyo.
Forty helicopters worked
continuously to rescue thou
sands of cold and starving vic
tims of the typhoon.
The choppers plucked sur
vivors from roofs on which
they took refuge.

More than 250 cases of
dysentery were reported in
Nagoya alone and one news
paper estimated there were as
many as 2,000 cases in the en
tire Ise Bay . area hit by the
rampaging typhoon over the
week end.
Outbreaks Feared
Officials feared large-scale
outbreaks of tetanus, diarrhea
and gas gangrene.
17. S. military and Japanese
defense forces helicopters to
day began flying out surviv
ors from Tobishima, Jushi
yama and Yatomi villages
near Nagoya, An estimated
20,000 persons were trapped
on their roofs by a huge lake
created when the Kiso rievr
went over its banks.
Pilots reported many sur
vivors were reluctant to leave
their roofs despite hunger
and privation, preferring to
stay and guard what few pos
sessions they salvaged from
their homes. Some have had
no food or clean water since
the storm struck.
Break Record
Washington -UPD- Vacation
ing Americans paid a record-
breaking total of 12,100,000
visits to national parks and
other national park system
areas last August.
; The Interior Department
said today that visitors poured
into the parks at the rate of
390,322 a day. The previous
record-high month was last
July when visits totalled 11,
675,000. Visits in August,
1958, totalled 11,661,000.
The 10 most heavily visited
areas in the park system dur
ing August were: Blue Ridge
Parkway, 970,000 visits; Great
Smoky Mountains " National
Park, 817,000; Rocky Moun
tain National Park, 483,000;
Grand Teton National Park,
468,000; Yellowstone National
Park, 412,000; Olympic Na
tional Park, 409,000; Lake
Mead National Recreation
Area, 374,000; Natchez Trace
Parkway, 335,000; Mount
Rainier National Park, 324,
000; and Mount Rushmore Na
tional Memorial, 324,000.
" Only Yellowstone National
Park among the top 10 report
ed fewer visitors than in
August, 1958. The drop was
caused by the series of earth
quakes which rocked - the
crowded park area during the
last two weeks of August.

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.
