UNION OIL WINS
HUMANE SOCIETY
LINCOLN AWARD
For tlm first time, tho Ahrnlinm

foet'n won by a corporation. This
unique honor po'-s to the lTnion
Oil company of California In reci
procation of Its "lie Careful" enm

fect was made yesterday by I the
Oregon Humane society which
matio the award.
In a telegram to W. 1.. Ptewart.
president of the I'nion Oil com
pany of California, Mrs. F. W.
Swnnton. of the humane society,
stated: "I take (treat plensuro in

The I'nlon's safety campaisn
was Inaugurated some months bko
when Invi aiiitntlon showed tmu
the uulomohllo uecliient situation
was brcomlnB acute. Tho I nlon
officials went on the premise (hat
iUlomobile drivers were not, ns
general rule, deliberately core
less, but rather were victims of the
ur(te for (renter speed, which is
inherent In so many motorists.
It was felt that If some means
:ould be evolved which would
bring home lo the careless motor
ist the folly of his actions, a halt
would be called to the (trowinK to
tul of automobile accidents. The
pnwnt campaign which provided
for the utilisation of I. sun posters
on the raclllc Coast typlfylne. mo-
torlng situations In which careful
IrlvlliK is necessary and wntcn
curry a direct and positive upi"-ai
to observe sarn drtvine; practices
was therefore Inaugurated.
