McFaum, 48, shouted to his wife Sunday as his five-ton truck ripped through the quiet Winsted main street at 80 miles an hour.

Transmission Breaks McFaum. of Ipswich. Mass.. tried to shift into a lower gear to slacken the speed, but the trans mission broke under the force. He grabbed the emergency brake, but the truck was rolling so fast it quicklv burned out. McFaum, his hand bleeding but still clutching the emergency brake steered the truck up a hill and brought it to a stop against a curb just outside of town. Later McFaum had the truck repaired and started on his trip home again from the Lakeville horse show. The horses, which he valued at more than $15,000, were not visibly shaken by the ride, but the two helpers were. Police Chief Waldo Healh, com mending Mr. and Mrs. McFaum for their "nerve and skill," said no charges would be filed. Water HtiUr Look at tht Ten turn! Complttilr taUml. U. Clttn, moktltiM hMtlni .

One hundred sixty-five persons lost their lives in Oregon traffic during the first six months of 1955. Compared lo the same period of 1954 this represents a saving of 15 lives, according to Secretary of State Newbry. In the first half of 1S34, 180 persons were killed in Oregon traffic. While less people were being killed, drivers on Oregon's high ways drove more miles and there were more registered vehicles in operation. Because of the increas ed mileage and the lowered death toll, the cumulative mileage death rate for the first five months drop ped from 6.1 persons killed par one hundred million miles driven in 1954 to 5.1 for one hundred mil lion miles in 1955. While the rec ord is good for the first half of the, year, the secretary warned that the months of heaviest traffic and worst driving conditions are ahead and if the gains of the first six months are to be maintained it will take increased alertness on the part of drivers of the state.
