HAS THE REAL BREAD! - ( i Teen-Agers Endorse Five-Point Plan To Curb Traffic Mishaps Homefronl, U.S.A. - lUPIl -Two youngsters down the street went joy riding after school the other day. Within a block of home, a dog ran in front of the car. The driver swerved to miss man's best friends. The car hit a pole, snapped it One youngster's in a coma i and has multple fractures. His brother, luckier, just has mul tiple fractures. Down the highway in a quiet little town five miles from this typical neighbor hood, teen-agers recently con tributed to a memorial fund "in lieu of flowers" when one of their classmates was kill ed in an auto accident. Last year 2.7 million acci dents involved teen-age driv ers. The figure becomes alarm ing when you note that there are just 6.5 million licensed teen-age drivers. Drivers Interviewed The statistics were cited by Jean Lee, a driving consult ant who recently interview ed 1,300 teen-age drivers in 11 cities. The teen-agers were asked what's wrong? Who's failed? And what can be done to put a dent in the awful statistics. Miss Lee, former head of the American Academy of Safe Driving in New York, sides with the teen - age drivers. "Most of them," she said in an interview, "want to be safe, courteous drivers. Their poor driving record stems from lack of habitual skill, Veterans Receive Compensation Pay Portland Retroactive compensation increases total ing $315,316 were paid last week to 16,560 disabled Ore gon veterans. Manager R. J. Novotny of the Veterans Ad ministration Regional office in Portland announced. The October check was the first to reflect the increased compensation payment voted by the recent session of Con gress. It contains a special ret roactive payment amounting to four times the amount of the increase each veteran will receive each month thereaf ter, according to Novotny. The increased amount each month hereatfer to be re ceived by veterans in Oregon will be $78,829, Novotny said Compensation for peacetime service-connected disabilities is paid at approximately 80 per cent of that paid for war time service-connected disabilities. test v v ' 1 ti V"""-- .

"Teen-age drivers can pro tect their lives and change their reputations as reckless, accident - prone hot rodders if adults, particularly their parents, care enough to help." During "Operation Hotrod as Miss Lee's tour was call ed the teen-agers endorsed the following five-point pro gram aimed at putting acci dents on the skids: -Better parental example. Poor driving habits among the under 20 age group could be mitigated if parents would substitute example for exas peration and guidance for gripes. Parents should drive the way they want offspring to drive, instead of merely telling them how. If parent's don't respect traffic laws and enforcement officers, how can they expect their children to? -Driver education. Every boy and girl who reaches the legal driving age should have driver education in the class room and behind the wheel. There should be a strong em phasis on not combining drinking and driving. (Of 18, 000 public high schools nation wide, 70 per cent provide some driver education.) -Phychological testing. Schools or community safety i agencies should provide tests to determine aptitude and sta bility on the part of would-be teen-age drivers. State driver license bureaus would then decide, on the basis of this testing, which youths should should not be issued li censes. Better parental control. Temporary suspension by pa rents from using the family car after infraction of sale driving rules would lead to more careful teen-age motor ing habits. Self government. Teen agers should be encouraged to help solve their own driv ing problems through setting up "kangaroo courts" where they pass judgment and deal out discipline to their fellow violators, through forming their own traffic safety coun Youngster Killed In Hunting Accident Lebanon - (UPti - Richard Chastme, 12, Sodaville, was accidentally shot and killed while hunting Sunday. Linn county authorities said the victim had been hunting with his brother, Kenneth, 13, and their grand, father. Ron Cordon Manager cils and through joining in community safety programs as a junior division. Miss Lee, driver consultant for Prestone, said the high school trained drivers are the safest of any motor group when you log total miles and accidents in a given period. "But many more should have such training," she said. "Those who don't get it are short-changed." Ditto for the teen-agers who get only bad driving examples from parents and other adults around them. As one teen-age driver, called on the carpet, put it recently: "What do you expect something better than we see? We only have adults to learn from."

Mr. G.F. - It's for the best. Now you can each graduate first and then marry. John F. - I'm 20 years old and was graduated from col lege last June. I've been en gaged to Violet for two years. She's 20, too, and a senior at the same college I attended. I was lucky enough to win a scholarship which will cov er all my expenses towards a Master s Degree. So I regis tered at a Western university which offers outstanding in struction in my field. And Violet sent along a transcript of her record, hoping she'd be able to transfer to the univer sity for her last year. We planned to marry in Septem ber and leave for the West to gether. Well, Violet was turned down. So I left alone and we decided to postpone our mar riage for a year. But the sepa ration is torture and we re set ting our wedding date for Thanksgiving. Mrs. G.F. - It was Provi dence that kept Violet East and my son, West. And now John is ready to upset the best break a boy could get. If Violet really loves him, she'll see things my way and agree to stick to the original plan -namely a June graduation for both, from their different col leges. A June wedding can fol low, and that's not too long to wait when the reward is valu able college degrees for both. Eugene Business Leader Found Dead Eugene - IUPI1 - Donald A McDonald, 33, a prominent Eugene businessman, was found dead in his car here Saturday in the garage of a house he owned. He was believed to have been dead at least four days. An autopsy was ordered to confirm the cause of death, apparently carbon monoxide poisoning. The body was found in the garage of a house McDonald was trying to sell. A prospec tive buyer made the discov' ery. McDonald was a former president and leading stock' holder in Liberty Television, Inc., operator of KEZI-TV. He sold his interest several months ago.

In our state he even needs his parents along to get marriage license because he's under 21. And I'm inclined to withhold con sent for his own good. He should apply himself to his studies. So should Violet. In stead she plans to get a job in the local 5-and-10-cent-store to help with expenses, and take a few courses at night The Council: Love laughs at locksmiths, we know, and the 20-year-old variety laughs at obstacles like time, space money. Mrs. F. might as well save her breath, put on her hat for the trip to the license bureau, and prepare to become a mother-in-law in November instead of June. Not that we recommend this sort of haste. Time after time, we see the aftermath of "campus marriages." Ten or fifteen years later it dawns on the young man that he never had a real chance to try his wings, to be "free." He was tethered and domesticated too fast. And the erstwhile co-ed wonders what might have happened if she'd played a wider field than the Seniors at Ole Winsocki. But in this instance, John and Violet have already come so close to the altar that a year's delay, especially when there are alternatives, seems to be a cruel and unusual punishment for Violet's failure to gain admission to the West ern university.

Although her education may be interrupted his wage-earning capacity will be increased by June and en. able her to stop working and sign up for a summer session Mrs. F. pleads the practical procedure. John, impatient, hopes to prove the romantic up-dating of his marriage plans is even more practical. Northwest Vegetables go best (canned or frozen) for TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 13. 19S2 Broker vs.tipster "I've got a hot tip-a chance for a quick killing!" That's the tipster speaking-a strange voice on the phone, or perhaps even a friend, or a broker who doesn't deserve the name. If you're thinking of investing in stocks and bonds, con sider the important differences between the tipster and a repu table broker. ' Tipster: "I've got a sure thing for you. It can't miss." Broker: "No investment is without risk. When someone says he has a sure thing, he means a stock whose price can only go up. There is no such thing. The price of stock fluctuates now down, now up like the price of almost any property. But over the years, the value of a prosperous, expanding company has a good chance of rising. Its dividends may also increase." Tipster: "Buy now-before the price goes up." Broker: "Never act hastily. First, take time to check the facts. What have the company's earnings been over the years? What is ils dividend record? Have sales been going down, holding steady or moving upward? A broker in a Member Firm of the New York Stock Exchange can help you get such information. And he will be happy to give you his opin ion about the company's prospects." Tipster: "Who wants to wait years for a stock to pay off?" Broker: "Set your goals carefully to fit your circumstances. Your goal may be extra income through dividends. Or you may place more emphasis on growth in the value of the stock over the years. Or you might want to consider bonds which usually offer a more stable income with less risk to your principal." Tipster: "Scrape up all the money you can and bet the bundle." Broker: "Living expenses have first call on your income. And provision should be made for emergencies. Then you might consider investing. "One convenient method for investing on a budget is the Monthly Investment Plan which Member Firms olfcr. You can invest systematically with as little as $40 every three months." If you've decided to own your share of American business by investing, choose your broker with care. Not all brokers are alike. In Member Firms of the New York Stock Exchange, for example, Registered Representatives have had to measure up to Exchange standards for knowledge of their business by experience or written test. Their judgment may not always be right, of course, but they can help you evaluate informa tion and start you oil on a sound footing.
