Oldfield Now
-Safety Envoy
Comes to Interest Oregon
in Device to "Warn of
. Highways' Curves 4--
. A daredevil turned safety Tan
gelist Is Barney Oldfield, eirtwo
mile-a-mlnnte man. here yester
day seeking to interest the. state
highway commission in a, .'.'Mas
ter Road Eye." recently perfected
patent to reduce accidents oa
curves.
Oldfield, who spent 16 years on
the race tracks, saya the "eye" is
doing wonders in cutting down
mishaps on turns. The device Is a
small, raised plate, which fastens
to the center of the pavement on
Lcurres. It contains a rejecting
W . a m i
disc at eacn ena; me eyes are
placed from 10 to 50 feet apart
and at night warn a traveler of
the curve by flashing a red streak
of light along the center. Oldfield
says some states have installed as
many as 25,000 of the devices.
They prevent crossing over on a
curve and serve to slow down traf
fic. No Speeder Xow
Oldfield, believe it or not, has
eliminated fa.it driving from his
habit list. "1 don't drive 0 miles
an hour on the highway." Old-
field said yesterday. "I mean that.
I'm spending most of my time
with safety campaigns trying to
teach people how to drive and
how to avoid accidents."
The oldster racer now-58
the first man to drive an auto
more than a mile a mlnuts, has
listed seven rules which he be
lieves would reduce motor acoi-
dents. Here tiey are:
1. Have a definite speed limit
the unlimited speed law is bad.
2. Fut traffic officers In plain
clothes; don't make It so easy for
motorists to "pot" cops.
3. Force all people arrested for
traffic violations to undergo a
physical examination and to take
an examination to determine their
driving ability.
4. Make a systematic checkup
of brakes, steering gear and other
parts affecting safe drirlng.
. Teach young people that
reckless driving is a major wrong.
6. Be courteous on the street
when you drive your car Just as
you would be courteous walking
down a pedestrian walk with hun
dreds of other people.
7. Set up educational rules and
classes for children.
Fastest la 1003
Mr. Oldfield is more interested
now in safety than he is In the
speedy days of 1902-1918. One
has to pry to get the facts from
him that he broke the then world
record with a drive of a mile in
1903 in 69.6 seconds and that he
did it in car "999" manufactured
by Henry Ford although Ford
didn't want his name used with
the auto. That mark was set in
Indianapolis. Seven years later at
Daytona Beach, Florida, Mr. Old
field ran his Blltsen Bens car at
an average clip of 131.72 miles
an hour. That mark for a 200
horse power c-ir seems slow com
pared to the 200 -mile an hour
mark by Sir Malcolm Campbell
but it was a consummate speed a
quarter of a century ago.
"The cars were not so well
built in the warly days," Oldfield
commented yssterday. "I admit I
was scared every time I stepped
into a car for a race. I also
thought it miht be my last. How
ever I escaped from the racing
game with only a few broken col
larbones and ribs.
In recent years Mr. Oldfield
has spent most of his time repre
senting the Chrysler corporation.

Applications Accepted by
Officials Though New
Setup Is Due Soon
The county court here Is con
tinuing to take applications for
old-ige pensions although It ex
pects before another month Is end
ed that the county relief commit
tee will be in full charge of old
age pension payments locally. .
Confusion still exists in he pub
lic mind over the exact provisions
of the pension act now in effect,
members of the court said yester
day. To explain the act the court
pointed out:
1. Only persons 70 years or old
er are eligible to receive pensions..
2. Under the new act, in which
the federal government will parti
cipate, payments can be made up
to S30 a month to an individual
but the a erage payment contem
plated by Elmer Goudy. state re
lief administrator, will not exceed
925 a month.
3. Applications for the pension
must have resided in the state for
at least fhre of the ten years im
mediately preceeding the time the
application is filed and must have
resided in the county for at least
one. year preceeding the time the
application is filed.
4. The entire administration of
the new ict will be under the
county relief committee, not un
der the county coart. Half of the
pension money will come from the
federal government; one fourth
from the county government and
one-fourth from the state gorern
ment. 5. Pensions will be paid only to
persons 'proving that the assist
ance shall provide, "when added
to the income of the aged recip
ient, a reasonable subsistence com
patible with decency and health."
Children of pensions will be re
quired to support them if possi
ble. When pension applicants have
against it to the- amount of the
property they must allow the re
