State Road Deaths Drop During June SALE1I (UPD Traffic on Ore gon highways during June was be low the figure a year ago, when Seattle Worlds Fair visitors streamed through the state, the State Highway Department said this week. June marked the first time in 2'4 years that the state's traffic had failed to keep pace with the previous year. Travel on rural highways, includ ing interstate freeways, was 3.6 per cent below June, 1962, while urban traffic was down 1.7 per cent. The decrease from last year was noted on Interstate 5. Interstate 80N and the Southern half of U.S. 97. I These were the principal routes ; traffic used by 1962 fair traffic. There was an increase of traf fic on U.S. 26, 99W and the north- i ern half of 97 over a year ago. clothing and are now hoping to find some means of livelihood for the head of the family. In Manzanillo, Jose was a man of substance, a successful man who owned and operated an im port and export business, a large car agency and several other ma jor enterprises. These, and the ma terial comforts they afforded, were all given up to the Castro gov ernment so that the Artime fam ily could come to America, away from Communist rule. Artime made his plans well. He sent his four eldest children to America first, and it took six months to make the necessary ar rangements so the rest of the fam ily could follow. In order to get the needed papers, Artime had to turn all his possessions over to the Castro government. It confis cated his home, his businesses, his bank accounts and even his personal possessions. Mrs. Artime was allowed two dresses, and she was permitted to take a change of clothing for Maria, but Jose had nothing but the clothes on his back. The authorities even stripped Mrs. Artime's finger of its wed ding ring, but allowed her hus band to keep his since its value was so small. The Cuban government has to keep its soldiers happy and there are a lot of them. Artime said the ratio is probably eight soldiers to two civilians. So Artime's 40,000 peso bank account will help feed Cistro s army, r is businesses which were confiscated he values at about $250,000. The family home, now under lock and key, was to have been turned into a barracks. The automobile agency is now a shoe store but there are no shoes to sell. The fact is, shoes are so scarce that individuals are pnly allowed one pair every six months. They are rationed, as are all major commodities in the country. Food is scarce in Cuba. One of Artime's friends, worth $3 million, is now in jail because it was found that he had canned 50 pounds of meat. The working classes are in com plete control. The man Artime had employed to wash cars, is now manager of his automobile agency. Because of the scarcity of food, clotning and medicines, the people spend their money for things such as taxi fare, kveryone rides in taxis, and the transpor tation facilities arc strained to the utmost. Employes Help Artime, a personable man who speaks English well considering his short time in this country, says he thinks one of the main reasons he was able to get out of the country at all is because he was on sucn good terms with his em ployes 50 ot them. They are now Communists who were able to help him. The fact that he had never mixed in politics was one of the reasons that the Artime family had been left alone as long as it was. Just the same. Artime saw the handwriting on the wall. With Communist propaganda ev- ai-tMirhm-i, Hut nnnuhnl t,.uci,iin Decame unbearable. His place ot business was boycotted mid his children were subjected to ores sures in .school, where only the Communist concept was taught. "You are either a Communist or you are not," said Artime, "There is no middle ground." He says that at no time were the lives of his family, in danger but their principles were, so flight was the only answer. Families Separated The most tragic thing that is happening, Artime said, is that children are being separated from their parents, and some of them will probably never see one anoth er again. His family was lucky because he and his wife and young est child were able to get out of Cuba and be reunited with the others who had been sent to Amer ica earlier. Now, however, no one leaves the country so the par ents are in Cuba and the chil dren are in the care of relatives and friends elsewhere. Artime's elderly parents and three sisters are still in Cuba Mrs. Artime's mother is still there too, It takes 20 days for letters to get to their destination, so communication is unsatisfactory. The cost of telegrams and tele phones is almost prohibitive. Fellow ftotarians are anxious for Artime and his family to remain in Roseburg and are trying hard to find him some means of em ployment so that will be possible. It is their belief that a man with Artime's capabilities could only be an asset to any community. Hazel Beal Mrs. Forrest (Hazel) Beal of South Pasadena, Calif., former resident of Roseburg, died July 31 in a Huntington, Calif., hospital, according to word received by Roseburg friends. Mrs. Beal was the former Hazel Kuykendall, daughter of an early day Roseburg business man. She attended Roseburg schools and had made many visits to the Roseburg area since moving to California around 1912. No close relatives survive. Funeral services were sched uled to be held today at the Lit tle Church of the Flower at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendalc, Calif. Use Of Animals Planned In AEC Radiation Study ALBUQUERQUE (UPD The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) will spend millions during the next few years to expose 1,000 dogs and 10,000 smaller laboratory animals to radioactive pollution. , The project is designed to de termine how much and what kind of damage is done to mammalian creatures that breathe radiation polluted air. , The AEC said recently it would spend $3 million on kennels, research facilities and equipment for the project. Every effort will be made to keep the dogs happy and comfortable. The AEC did not say whether the experiments might prove fatal to some of the dogs and guinea pigs, rats and mice. But it implied that the dogs, at least, arc expect ed to live to ripe old ages. "The research is expected to re sult in better understanding of the hazards to humans from exposure to airborne radiation in the vicin ity of reactor accidents, from nu clear explosion fallout, in connec tin with industrial manufacture and handling of radio-active ma terials and nuclear fuels, and air pollution generally," the AEC said. Breeding stock will be purchased to produce a special strain of bea glee for the experiments. Beagles were cnosen Because they nave a long life span.
