Butler THE POST PUBLISHES MORE SOUTH POLK COUNTY NEWS THAN AN Y OTHER PAPER THE RACE TO THE CROSSING (From the Portland Oregonian) A Southern Pacific safety speci­ alist figured out the significance of attempting to cross railroad tracks | with a train in sight. A passenger , train approaching a crossing at full j speed and still a quarter of a mile j away will cover the remaining dis­ tance in 18 seconds; if n half a mile away, it will flash past in 36 sec- i onds. It requires a wait of only a j fraction of a minute to permit a | train to pass. On thé other hand J 18 seconds allows too email a mar- j gin to escape an accident if in shift- I ing gears the engine stops or any- I thing goes wrong. Forty-six people were killed, 173 j people were injured and 152 auto­ mobiles were damaged or destroyed at grade crossings during the cal­ endar year just closed. Of these, 73 stalled on the crossing and were struck by trains; 263 attempt­ ed to cross almost immediately in front of an approaching train; 137, or more than 25 per cent of the buy. Cash or trade. Bring in everything you want to sell and I will sell it for you on a commission. M A X GOLDMAN Children’s Sight...

M on Tuesdays and Saturdays During the nine years I have practiced my profession in Salem, I have successfully fitted glasses for over 1500 children from 5 to 16 years of age from Polk and Marion counties. Bring your children to me and I will tell you frankly whether they need glasses or not. Don't let them be retarded in school or handicapped in their work by poor eyesight. Eye defects can be corrected much more readily during childhood than later in life. My prices are very reasonable. I guarantee my work to give perfect satisfaction in every respect. DR. M. P.
