Ue sincerely hope we are all wet in making such a statement, but there are several indications that lead us to believe that we are correct. In the first place, it is a four-day holiday for many people since the Fourth is on Tuesday. This means motorists will take longer trips away from home. Secondly, it is the first holiday of summer and many will participate in summer activities, such as swimming and boating, for the first time in seven or eight months. Lack of practice easily can cause a leg cramp while swimming or the capsizing of a canoe. Third is the fact that there are more automobiles than ever before on the highways which makes driving that much more hazardous. And our fourth consideration, of course, is the ever-present danger of fireworks. Too many unfortunate aocidents have happened because of negligence with fire- crtickers. This sounds like ol’ Gloomy Gus talking, doesn't it? Well, we don’t want to be too pessimistic and see bad in everything. Actually, we think that the Fourth of July is the best of all our national holidays because of its great significance. But we’re just afraid that Congress will have to vote to do away with it in the interests of self-preservation if the expected mass-destruction continues. During the four days, daily newspapers will tell us the toll of dead and injured throughout the country as compiled by the National Safety Council. Figures from such distant states as New York or Georgia may not be of much signifi cance to us, but remember that Oregon also is entered in the sweepstakes. This is one time we hope we come in last. Be careful this weekend, so YOU don't become a statistic for-the National Safety Council.—K.C. ..» lb» m H «vmcterj «'TV in the VILI Elkton Mr Powell passed away Sunday June 25. at his home at KUH West Main street.
