Tracks Summer Travel Calls for Greater Care in Driving Summer travel In Oregon last year claimed a toll of 147 lives. 70 per cent of which were the re sult of rural accidents, Secretary ol Mate rarrell saiu, as lie called on county and city officials to Join state agencies l:i a campaign to reduce traffic casualties during the months of May, June, July and August. "During those four months of 1916, there were 113 fatalities In rural areas in this stale," Farrell said, emphasizing the predomi nance of rural accidents during the summer mouths. "Whereas for the year as a whole, about (ill per cent of all fatalities occur in rural areas, . lor this summer period, 70 per cent involved rural Clashes." The secretary of stale said virtually all the rural traffic fatalities of the 1940 summer period could have been prevented through the exercise of ordinary care, common sense and observ ance of traffic regulations. "Of the 113 fatalities, only two might be described as truly acci dental; that is, incidents over which people involved might be said to have no control. In one case, the lights of a car went out on a dark, j-ainy night, and in the other instance, a wheel came off the vehicle. "The other 111 fatalities were the result of such unsafe driving and walking practices as speed too great for conditions, sueed and inattention on curves, pass ing in the face of approaching traffic, driving off the road as a result of speed or inattention, failure to dim headlights, driving while fatigued and falling asleep, intoxication, driving through stop signs, and walking into the path of approaching vehicles." . . Heavy traffic volumes and high average speeds on the main high ways today are causing conflicts that result in serious accidents, the secretary of state said. Traf fic volumes during the summer months of 1940 increased as much as 12fi per cent in some instances and on the average, was about 80 per cent above the volume counts for the summer months of 1945. "The heavy volumes, with cars moving at higher average speeds, naturally Increases accident haz ards when drivers fail to exercise greater care," Karrell said. "This is shown by the fact that acci dents involving head-on collisions when ears try to pass other vehicles moving in the same direction are on the increase in this stale. During the four sum mer months of 1940, there were 11! fatalilies Involving such dan gerous practices." High speed, particularly on curves, resulted In 24 of the 111 preventable accidents during the four summer months. Speed too great for conditions probably was a factor in many other accidents Maybe you can name these 3 old-timers... but can you name three ways that ''RPM" would keep tham young today? I Those bull-frog lights make this one easy to guess. More of these cars might be around today if RPM Mot or Oil had been invented socner. Your modern car is luck ier, for "RPM" is compounded to rust-proof engines. Siuce internal rust causes 80 of engine woar, rust-busting "RPM" m ikes to day's cars last lots longor. Mojiv-"!d n - This limousine's long hood hid sixteen cylinders and all sixteen of 'em took a terrible beating from "creeping" oil. RPM Motor Oil would have kept this M young because it's compounded to cling to hot spots and guard sizzling upper cylinder walls that "creeping" oils leave bare. Thus, "RPM" cuts wear 'way down. si uomi.w 0 ) They called this speedster a Bearcat, but carbon caused by old-fashioned oil could make it weuk as a kitten. Too bad it didn't have tho "RPM" that ends carbon trouble in your modern car. For premium-quulity "RPM" contains added compounds that prevent carbon and all tho other motor ills just plain oil can't stop. ivajttaa nius "RPM" keeps cars young jy sijjjjJ "DLS?- ' illfi)tlli!q FOR STANDARD OF CALIFORNIA PRODUCTS STOP AT THESE SI0NS Involving such things as going out of ennlrol on rough roads, skidding in gravel or on wet pavement, rear-end collisions, and in many pedestrian accidents. The secretary of state emphasiz ed the fact that speed might be the cause of an accident in such varying degrees as 80 miles an hour or 35 miles an hour. "During those four summer months, there were accidents in volving a vehicle going out of control on a curve at 80 miles an hour, and a vehicle going out of control on a rough, country load at a speed of 35 miles an hour. "It isn't so much the numerical speed factor as it is the rate of speed in relation to conditions. If the pace is suited to existing traflic conditions, accidents will not occur." Karrell urged pedestrians to remember this fact: "Vehicles a block away approaching at speeds of 35 miles an hour or more may be close enough to constitute a hazard before you can take three steps away from the curb. As sure your own safety by waiting mi me upproacning car nas pass ed before slennlne into the street Also remember lhat at night, the Oliver may not see you If you are wearing dark clothing. " So never step into the path of an approaching car, expecting the driver to see you and slow down or stop. He may not and that may be tragic for you."
