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.

ack of mature judgment, lack
of parental interest, lack of
responsibility and lack of
qualified driver education."
"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

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."

John F. - We're disappoint
ed but would like to get mar
ried now anyway.
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.

With all his big talk, John
must still realize that he's
extremely young. 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

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. Pining lor
each other across a dozen
states, doodling over their
notebooks with hearts and ar
rows and lyrical couplets,
pouring out their missingncss
in long letters, skimping
lunches to pay for long-distance
calls - Where's the per
centage? End the sweet sor
row of it all, Mrs. F. Ratify
the treaty.
Even though John is under
age, he must be a pretty bright
fellow to have been chosen for
a full-expense award towards
a graduate degree. And evi
dently he's found, the female
counterpart every smart man
seeks, the girl who makes him
feel ten feet tall, ready to take
on all comers. So we say.
bring on Violet. Although her
education may be interrupted

Mrs. F. pleads the practical
procedure. John, impatient,
hopes to prove the romantic
up-dating of his marriage
plans is even more practical.

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.
