WARNING' Use Miller's Frigid Cold Fur Storage Free Bonded Messenger! r-m-, Sensational HURRICANE Engine Gives Surging Performance, Record Mileage Rural Roadway Accident Deaths Higher Than City Accidents on rural roadways claimed 77 percent of the lives lost in Oregon traffic last year but ac counted for only 28 percent of all accidents reported throughout the state. Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry said friday. Newbrv said rural traffic acci dents in 1949 were three times more lethal than those taking place inside cities and towns, according to statewide records. The speed at which most open-highway mishaps take place is blamed for the top heavy death percentage. The secretary reminded that a driving error or mistake in judg ment that results in a crumpled fender in city traffic frequently proves fatal at highway speed. "The record makes it clear that long, inviting stretches of open highway call for the same alert ness most drivers display in con gested areas," Newbry said. He pointed out that the impact with which a car may strike a fixed object or another vehicle increases four times when speed is doubled. Sunday Traffic Deaths Leads For Days Of Week Sunday topped all other days of the week in traffic deadliness in Oregon last year with 67 fatal acci dents, the state traffic safety divi sion has reported. Saturday ran a close second with 60 fatal smash-ups, resulting in a combined weekend traffic toll of 127 throughout 1949, the division said. Least fatal accidents were recorded on Tuesday, with a total of 25, and Thursday, with 28. Heavier rural highway traffic volume due to weekend driving is the main underlying factor, offi cials said, which increases the chances of mishaps at high speed. Worst killers in 1949 were accidents in which a car ran off the road- or struck a fixed object, most of them due to loss of control at excessive speed. ' Talking About a Home?
