USO Council 3ponso F3 Girl Revue The Salem All-Girl Revue, ami teur talent troupe which has gained wide prominence through its bond selling accomplishments and appearances before service groups, is now operating under the sponsorship of the Portland-Cen tral USO council, Don Black, di rector of the unit, announced Sat urday night following a confer ence earlier in the day with Port land USO officials. The New York office of the USO requested the switchover to the Portland organization without giv ing reasons, but disappointment has been felt at lack of support for. the troupe in Salem. . The less-than-a-year-old show, sponsored by the junior chamber of commerce, sold $729,000 worth ox doc as curing me third war loan drive last summer, and . topped this figure Impressively in the fourth war loan campaign by amassing $2,689,600 in sales on ten-day junket into western Washington at the request of the .'treasury depatrment. Itls estimated that the troupe has appeared before some 50,000 service men within the past 10 months, many of them fresh from the battle zones. Under the Portland council the revue will, "work" all military in stallations within easy traveling -distance of Salem, showing only on weekends. 'A publicity director will be assigned the group, and there will be solid financial back ing. ' . . ' Black states , that the unit, re plete with home-grown talent, is apparently the first amateur out-! fit in the country to be accepted by the national USO as an official I traveling unit.

Up to February 1, a total of 33,153 Americans had been re ported killed In battle and 44,518 were reported wounded. For the same period, traffic deaths had taken a toll of 51,500 Ameircans and 11,800,000 more had; been in jured, many of them permanently. This is no attempt to say that traffic is more dangerous than battle,M Farrell said. "Rather, this comparison is used to dramatize the seriousness of the! accident situation in this country. t'li has been said that wars are won! or lost by that unknown quality, the unknown quality representing the human element. This! nation cannot afford to ' cut into I that important element through preventable traffic acci dents. We must expect casualties on the battlefield, but we certain ly need pot .expect them in traf fic" . i. For the year 1943 alone, traffic accidents claimed a toll! of 23,300 dea4 and 800,000 injured. The to tal accident toll for thet year, in cluding traffic, Industrial, home and f arm accidents, amounted to 94,500 deaths, 9,700,000 injured. The economic loss due id accidents was (set at $5,000,000,000 by the national safety council. I In the state of Oregon alone. the number of man-hours lost due to accidents in 1943 was 'sufficient to build 83 Liberty ships. f Oregon drivers and pedestrians can f prevent traffic accidents by observing traffic regulations, con sidering the rights of others and using common sense to anticipate hazard," Farrell declared. Two" Cities?: -Traffic Record Unmarred! ... . : . k i Only two Oregon cities of 10,000 or more population went through the year 1943 without a traffic fatality, according to figures com piled in the office of Bob Farrell, secretary of. state. These cities were Bend and Klamath. Falls. Bend had no traffic fatalities In 1942 either,, but Klamath Falls re ported two In that year. Five: cities in the 5000-10,000 population group reported no traf fic fatalities in 194J; tTheyJWre Albany, Baker, .CorvaRis; Marsh field and Pendleton.
