Someone had the unm itigated g all to say that the Yankees of Port Orford's L ittle League base- b a l l program closed out the season undefeated. This ia pre m e d ita te d prevarication on the part of p rejud icial bias. The Giants had the supreme pleasure of soundly whipping the Yankees 13 to 4 in the first gam e of the season and In the eyes of most people, Langlois excepted, the Giants were the winners of two protested garnet w ith the Y a n kees because of the Yankee or ganization's d iseg ard of rules. One game was played under pro test because of a Yankee ap pointed bate um pire wearing Ille g a l equipm ent and the other gam e was played under protest because of Yankee coaching's com plete disregard and disdain of Section 6 .0 8 of the L ittle League rule book. v e ith e r la beginning lta second half, la y t» r w ater stgjply lo r Irrigation and other usee <olr< to be Adequate thia year” How xre water rights available on stream a during th e ir record low flow s’ A re these p rio r rights, recently filed rights o r la water used in appropriated, legally?

M otorcycling has become one of the fastest growing form s of transportation and sport In the nation. In Oregon we now have over 32,000 cyclists enjoying the pleasures of cycling on our streets and h ig h w a y s . Un fortunately, the Increase in cy cles also brought an Increase In accidents and fa ta litie s . This Is why the F ederal Government included m otorcycle safety in the highway safety standards handed down to the states. M ore specifically the s t a n dard reads: "States shall have a m otorcycle safety program to Insure that only persons phy sically and mentally qualified be licensed to operate a m otor cycle; t h a t protective safety equipment fo rd riv e rs and pass engers be worn; and that m otor cycles m eet standards fo r safe ty equipm ent.’ ’ Oregon can be proud of Its record because we already have laws in effect which meet most of the m ajo r requirem ents set forth In the M otorcycle Safety Standard. Even b e f o r e the F ed eral Standards came Into being, O re gon took steps to protect the cyclist from him self. In 1964, a motorcycle endorsement law was passed. This law requires cyclists to pass a m otorcycle test In addition to the usual d riv e r’ s examination before re ceiving endorsement to d riv e a motorcycle. This action was taken when It was discovered that most motorcycle crashes i n v o l v e d Inexperienced oper ators. The Oregon Legislature acted on the protective safety equip ment item of the standard in 1967 by passing the law re quiring cyclists and th e irp a s s - engers to w ear helm ets. The need fo r this law was based on the fact that three-fourths of a ll motorcycle deaths are the result of head In ju rie s . To be In total compliance with the standard, however, we s till need legislation requiring mo torcyclists to use eye and face protection, such as goggles o r windshields and to have th eir motorcycles safety checked as p a ri of a periodic m otor vehicle INSPECTIO N PROGRAM. O r e g o n surpassed the Fed era l Government standards by passing a law requiring cyclists to use th eir headlights anytime their vehicle is In motion. The in tjn t of the law is to Increase their v is ib ility to m otorists be cause s i x out of e v e r y ten m otorcycle accidents are the re s u lt of collisions with m otor Special services are to be held a t the Port Crford Assem b ly o f God Church next week beginning Tuesday night at 7:30, Aug. 20, 21, 22, 23, and ending on Sunday night.

Edward See vers of Coos Bay. You can lead the way to safer highways in Oregon by obeying the rules of the road, says the Oregon T ra ffic Safety Comm ission. Nine out of ten accidents occur when the d riv e r is in the process of vio lating one o r more lawsl vehicles. The results of O r e g o n ’ s m otorcycle legislation p r o v e th eir value. During 1967 cycle fa ta litie s took a 33% drop— a decline which is attributed to the endorsement law. During the firs t quarter of 1968, O re gon’s helm et and headlight laws have already helped to reduce motorcycle Injuries and deaths by one third.
