State Accident
Board History
Oregon'! Industrial accident
commission started out as "an
ambulance to pick up the injured
and has progressed to being a
force to help prevent accidents,
Robert Evenden, director of ac
cident prevention for the commis
sion told Salem Rotary club mem
bers Wednesday at the Marion
hotel.
The work of the department Is
carried on under three heads,
enforcement, education and en
gineering, the speaker said. En
forcement is a minor point, since
industrial concerns are most co
operative, he said.
Engineering Is concerned with
having machinery designed so
that when installed it will have
the maximum of safety, while
education concerns itself with
informing employers of the ways
in which the various processes
in the plant may be made safe
for workers.
Increased safety in the logging
truck operation depends upon
proper loading and equipment
which is in proper mechanical
condition, Evenden said in re
porting a campaign for safety in
logging truck operation was to
be made.
L. O. Arena, member of the
Oregon industrial accident com
mission, introduced Evenden.
Gardner Knapp, Rotary presid
ent, became so enthusiastic about
calling the meeting to order Wed
nesday that he banged the head
right ort the gavel and out Into
the audience. Later In dismissing
the club members it. was noticed
he used the "heel" of the gavel
although he had recaptured the
head and put it on tempo rarly.
Sleepy Session
In Stock Mart
NEW YORK, Sept. 10-(-th
stock market shifted through ,a
sleepy session during most of to
day s proceedings, as speculation
again centered on heavy commod
ity trading, but a burins: spurt
in the final hour put most leaders
in the plus column for gains of
fractions to S or more points.
Motion pictures came to the fore
at the last on word the British
might reconsider the recent tax on
American films. Rails ran out of
steam but" steels, motors and a
wide assortment of special issues
were well in front at the close.
Bidding generally was based on
the thought that the list had been
pretty well sold out and was
due for a technical revival. Trans
fers of 740,000 shares compared
with 750,000 the day before.

A Street by Any Other Name
Would Be Less Confusing, Say
Officials, Noting Duplications
Proposals to eliminate the duplication of street names within the
Salem area soon will be considered by the Marion county court and
the city councils of Salem and West Salem.
Principal change endorsed by a group of public and utility offi
cials studying the problem would rename North and South High street
Broadway to be consistent with the name of Broadway street which at
present is a continuation of North
High, beginning a few blocks
from the downtown area without
a break.
So many duplications and near-
duplications were found to exist
when the study group met this
week that members decided to
continue their discuasion Monday
night at 8 o'clock in City Manager
J. L. Franzen's office at city hall.
Represented in the group are the
city, county, zoning commission,
postoffice, Portland General Elec
tric Co., Portland Gas and Coke
Co. and Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph Co.
Other changes recommended by
the group:
Chang Garden road to Market street
I far a Swegle school. Garden road
is now a continuation of Market east
of tha city.
Changs name of Madrona street in
Waat Salem to avoid confusion with
Modrooa avenue In south Salem.
Changs either Terrace avenue or
Terrace street in Salem proper.
Chang name of Sunset drive which
is in Kcixer area off Sunset avenue.
Chans Park lan. an extension of
Kappahn road Joining Pacific highway,
to Kappahn.
. Chang nam of Park avenue from
Moody north.
Change Princ street in Kelzer area
to avoid confusion with Prince road.
Chanse Johnson road to avoid coo-
fuaton with Johnson street near school
for deaf.
Change Smith street, located at fair
grounds, to avoid confusion with Smith
avenue at Four Corner.
Chang East Nob Hill to Liberty
treat (which it continues) to avoid
confusion with West Nob Hill.
Change Roberta road to South River
road, to avoid confusion with Roberts
street north of the Sllverton road.
Eliminate name of Peck street which
is already wholly occupied by Shei
ton ditch, to avoid confusion with Peck
avenue.
Chang Bruce s venue to avoid son
fusion with Brace street.
Chang either Eldin avenue or El
don avenue.
Clarify Ratcliff drive and Salem
Heights avenue" by adopting either
nam for the continuing street.
The committeemen discussed possi
bility of changing the nam of Liberty
road, as Salem has a Liberty street, but
decided to make n recommendaUon.
