WE BAKE OUR OWN PIES To Carry 'Court' IT SEEMS TO ME: There seems, since the fatal accident last week at Sixes, when a man and wife were mstanth killed, sentiment against truckers generally. 1 will admit there is cause for complaint in several instances, but generally 1 do not agree with the sentiment. Reason for making this assertion comes from my trip to Portland over the week-end Except for a lumber truck in the vicinity of Sheridan. I can haw nothing but praise for the truck drivers. I saw plenty of "road courtesies" display<\i One । than the bus. reached his arm I out and signalled the bus to go /sist. The bus driver tooted his horn in a "thank you." Now for a case against the truck drivers, the wreck near Riverton about two weeks ago' has caused much comment in i service stations and among lots of people. Two trucks were rac ing. side-by-side, when on the first curve south of Riverton a traveling man met them face to face, rhe salesman was instant- l\ killed and the* truck driver is out on bail, and driving truck, it is reported. Trucks are here to stay. Wf might as well console ourselves to the fact. Take them away and it n\ uld be crippling to our economy Houvvtr. people of this' ami, where ire do not have those four-lane speedways, must exer cise some caution, probably a lot more than before, if uv c.r- pt ct to stay alive to travel very many roads. 1 notice tourists, plenty of them if you wish, who are gazing at the scenery, and are not paying , too much attention to the big. hazard he was creating.
