MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13. 1962 Santa Monica City Court Fines Are Different Routine Santa Monica, Calif. - d'PD - Traffic violators who come before Municipal Judge W. Blair Gibbens get something different than routine fines. Gibbens, who was appoint ed to the bench early this . year to fill a vacancy, has dedicated himself to a per ' sonal campaign to reduce traffic fatalities and injuries. He sentences some viola tors to visit an emergency hospital, making notes on traffic casualties and report on the visit to him in writing. He sentences others to go with a clean-up crew to help mop up debris after an auto wreck. Impact Wrecking Yard Some defendants are or dered to inspect a wrecking yard and see what happens to a vehicle which collides with another at high speed. Gibbens treats all defend ants alike. President Kennedy's sister, Mrs. Pat Lawford, was cited for driving without an opera . tor's license after her car was - Involved in a minor collision. She was ordered to inspect the wrecking yard and also to visit the Kennedy child guidance center at St. John's I hospital. The judge told her to find out how many child victims nf traffic accidents are treated at the center which was founded by her family. When Mrs. Lawford, wife of actor Peter Lawford, came before him, the judge said: Should Know Safety "This defendant, above all others, should know that the President of the United States, in establishment of his traffic commission, strongly supports traffic safety on our streets and highways. I trust this type of sentence will im press this defendant." Gibbens. 61, says he is not Interested in personal publi city and doesn't know now whether he will run for re election when his term ex pires. "I'm doing a job and I'm trying to do a good job," he says. "Conventional sentences by these judges who give two or three days in jail are not accomplishing their purpose. Fines don't accomplish any thing either. I don't consider the purpose of a traffic court is to raise funds. The purpose is to help make the streets safe." - I r tt ssr v -a-? - In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Attitude Control System Simulator Tetcrboro, N. .1. IUPII A small satellite simulator that duplicates some of the critical movements encountered in outer space has been devel oped to test the operation of various attitude control sys tems under space flight con ditions. Maintaining correct alti tude, or position of a satellite in relation to the earth, is critical to insuring proper performance. The simulator, developed by the Eclipse Pio neer Division of the Bcndix Corporation, has been used to test attitude control com ponents lor such space ve hicles as Nimbus, a weather satellite; Orbiting Astronom ical Observatory (OAO), and Orbiting Geophysical Observ atory (OGO), both research Vehicles.

(UPI) Planning Commission to Meet With Josephine County Group he Jackson county plan ning commission last night agreed to meet with the Jose phine county planning com mission to discuss renaming a common road, accepted the resignation of a staff member, referred two matters concern ing roads to the subdivision committee, and approved a schedule of commission mem bers' terms submitted by the county court. The subdivision committee of the commission decided to meet with the Josephine coun ty committee to discuss the name of a county road on the north side of Rogue river. In a letter from the county court, it was pointed out that mail deliveries are delayed at times since the road In Jack son county is North River rd. while in Josephine county it is Foothills blvd. Submits Resignation Mrs. Donna Treadwell, as sistant planning technician, submitted her resignation ef fective Dec. 14. Referred to the subdivision committee for study were re quests to vacate a dedicated road which never was opened in the Fair Oaks Orchards tract, and naming a road which has been called Hall, Edington, Fitzgerald or Hoi comb Springs rd. The rescheduling of com mission members' terms was necessary because of con fusion developing through the appointment of some members for four years, some for three years, and others to fill un expired terms of former mem bers. According to the schedule, the terms of V. F. Birdseye and Gerald Latham will ex pire Dec. 31, making Latham's I term one year shorter. Ex piring in 1963 will be the terms of David Lowry, only original commissioner remain ing, Andrew Hawver, and R. W. Courtright. Scheduled to expire in 1964 will be the terms for Edd Rountree, whose term will be six months longer, and G. I. Peoples, 11 months longer. The terms of two remaining members, C. W. Duggan and C. O. Lovejoy, will expire in 1965, each continuing for an 11 months longer period. Schedule Informal Session The commission agreed to schedule a joint informal ses sion with the Medford city planning commission to re view mall planning and a plan for public building construc tion in Medford. A letter from the district attorney was read regarding the commission's request From Washington: Thomas Jefferson's famous presidential "campaign" por trait-known as his campaign portrait because back in I860 when there were no illustrat ed newspapers, pictorial mag' azines or television, some 50 engravings made from It served to provide for the vot ers of that day what we now call the "image" of a political candidate-has been purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon and presented to the White House. The portrait has been for sale in New York for more than a year. Mrs. Kennedy re portedly saw it and identified it quite some time ago. but only recently was offered the Mellons generosity in arrang ing the purchase. TWE Mellons are neighbors of President and Mrs. Kennedy. Mrs. Mellon is a close friend of Mrs. Kennedy and is a member of her White House restoration committee. Mr. Mellon is the son of Andrew Mellon, prominent industrialist and banker who served as secretary of the treasury under President Harding. In 1937, he gave his remarkable art gallery to the United States, along with funds for the erection of a building in Washington to house it. Paul Mellon, his'son, is the founder of Washington's Na tional Gallery of Art. TPHE Jefferson portrait was campaign painted by Rembrandt Peale, son of Charles Wilson Peale-who as a boy was apprenticed to a saddle-maker, but his leaning was toward art, rather than saddle-making. Eventually he went to London, where he studied with Benjamin West, one of America s most noted early artists. His son Rembrandt Peale government from wasting the labors of the people UNDER THE PRETENSE OF CARING FOR THEM, they will be happy." PERSONALLY, I can t help thinking it will be a good influence to have this famed portrait of President Thomas Jefferson looking down on what goes on in the White House in these recklessly ex travagant days when the pil ing up of debt seems to be a consummation devoutly to be wished and the practice of economy a sin to be avoided at any cost. IVHY is this portrait of Jef " ferson so Interesting now? Well. . . It was Jefferson who said: "I place economy among the most important virtues and public debt among the greatest of dangers to be feared. To preserve our inde pendence, WE MUST NOT LET OUR RULERS LOAD US WITH PERPETUAL DEBT. We must make our choice between economy and liberty and profusion and servitude. "If we run into such debt, we must be taxed in our meat and . drink, in our ne cesities and our comforts, in our labors and in our amuse ments. If we can prevent the Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF 'TWERE WAS ONCE a racehorse, avers George Jessel, who A in three years on the track had never finished better than sixth. Finally the owner told him, "I've stabled and lea you long enough, you no-good palooka. Today I give you your last chance. I've signed a famous jockey to ride you. The other horses in the race are worthless. If you lose this time, I promise you that by five o'clock tomorrow morn ing you'll be pulling an ice wagon." The race began. At the clubhouse turn, our poor horse was dead last. The jockey resorted to nis wnip. ine aggrieved horse turned his head and snapped, "Cut that out, will you? I gotta be up tomorrow morning at five o'clock!" Speaking of memorable laugh lines from old Broadway hits, there was the moment in Frank Craven's "The First Year" where the lady of the house, preparing dinner for an important guest, asked the new maid, "Did you seed the grapefruit?" The maid s answer was, "Oh yes, ma'am, I seed 'em." Two cafe society phonies were discussing ways and means of promoting a loan for a Caribbean fortnight.
