Sign Change
New City Bypass
A petitionfrom 57 Salem ousi
ress firms protesting the listing
signs and markings of the new
- Salem by-pass highway will be
read at Salem City Council meet
ing, Monday night ' S ; .
'The firms, service stations, mo
. lets, eating places and others,
" want the by-pass plainly marked
as a truck route by-pass. The
petition asks the city's aid in re
questing the state highway de
partment to install these signs.? i
t "We are not objecting to the
: by-pass iisetf.H said Mrs. Donald
Real, motel owner, who circulated
the petitions. "But we feel that
existing signs at the by-pass junc
tions at both ends of Salem are
such that travellers are not made
aware of the fact that they are
missing Salem." ;'. i f '. j
Mrs. Rear, who with her hus
band, operates the Castle. Hall
Cottages, near the I South 12th
Street Junction, said sHrs of hr
petition are business firm owners j
on the north and south aradies
.to. Salem plus some downtown
firms. ' ' : j
Letting tourists know that Salem
xists-and yet not destroying' the
effectiveness of the new Salem by
pass highway appears to be the
goal of several groups of, local
businessmen, r ' j I
Early last week spokesmen for
service station, motet and eating
place operators complained that
the recentlyned by-pass, PylSS
diverting a . large share of the
through traffic around Salem, was
seriously hurting their' businesses.
, Purpose of the by-pass route
which begins some five miles south
of the city and at Hayesville about
two miles north and skirts 'the
eastern edge of Salem,, is to take
through traffic away from the
downtown congested zones and
residential areas. ,
And highway officials, after
making traffic counts; say it has
been doing this very effectively.
'"Too effectively," Is the com
plaint of the business groups, i
"We are solidly for the by-pass,"
said a spokesman of the affected
business interests late last week.

"And i we are not interested In
dragging all that traffic through
downtown Salem. And we are not
interested in the traveler (truck
drivers or others) who has no in
tention of stopping. I;
Capitol Visitors 'j I I
"But we believe that the tourist
who is looking for a place to eat
and sleep and to just visit or look
around our state capitol should be
permitted to do so." . .
i After making , their initial com
plaint public early last week, mo
tel and eating place operators have
been holding unofficial discussions
in quiet corners. . T
No official announcement has
been made but it is known that
several 'points of interest are be
ing discussed. i f:
One concerns the possibility of
pointing out to tourists,' either by
signs or other media of informa
tion, the facilities available in Sa
lem for their convenience. t
Teurists Uninformed
"The way it stands now," said a
spokesman, "tourists approaching
Salem by-pass junctions are not
sufficiently told, by signs or any
other method, we think, that Sa
lem is. here and ready to serve
them." I
One representative said' that a
recent i Chamber of Commerc
bulletin showed that many Amer
ican towns, by-passed by high
ily provided they let the traveller
know they are still there. f

Ten Traffic Deaths Recorded
At Single Crossing Since 1940
, By rUVIO AVERTLL j
Staffwriter, The Statesman I
Ten roadside markers border the
pavement at a single Marion Coun
tyintersection, indicating to pass
ing motorists one of the county s
most dangerous highway points.
! Each of the "X-marks-the-spot"
signs represents a highway death
at jthe crossing, located about a
mile north of Central Howell at the
point where the Silverton-Chemawa
Road intersects the road .between
Central Howell and Mt. Angel.
All 10 victims died in crashes
during the past 14 years, half of
them in a 1940 wreck that took
five lives.
One of the victims of a later col
lision was a 19-year-old youth who
had been orphaned by the 1940 ac-

cident. The complete list of victims
includes four teen-age students, a
ZC Tan' tw
Salem brothers, a Salem housewife
and a Scotts Mills couple who were
the parents of four children.
Instant Death f
The first, and most deadly, col
ision recorded at the intersection
occurred about 5 p.m. on a Friday
evening, Dec. 21, 1940. Two auto
mobiles, collided at right angles,
bringing' instant death to Arch
Clayton Winn, 37j Salem; Mrs.
Charlotte Wold, 40 Newport, and
Mrs: Ester Crites, 33, Scotts Mills.
Mrs. Crites husband, Ted Crites,
34-died a few hours, later in Sil
vecton Hospital. William Winn, 38,
a passenger in his brother's car,
died in the hospital the following
Sunday. -
The only living survivor of the
crash as 3-year-old Darline
Crites, ;who sustauied a 'broken
thish. She. a Sister and tWO
brothers were left orphans by the!services uter by.ciough-Barrtck po.
coiusion. i
Orphan Claimed .
One of the girl s brothers was
Earl : Crites, then j 13. Six years
later. Earl was one of four teen
agers who died when the coupe in
which they were riding collided
with a panel delivery truck at the
same intersection.' s
The crash, second fatal accident
recorded at the crossing, occurred
shortly after midnight on Sunday,
July 7, 1946. The victims were
Crites, 19; Helen Mellwain,. 17;
Robert Johnson, 14, and Beatrice
Grast, 16. They were passengers
in a small coupe driven by Ray
mond C- Roth of Central Howell,
who survived the crash.
In the panel delivery truck were
Mr. 'and Mrs. Darcy Drennan of
Salem Route 3, who were seriously
injured. State police said later
that both vehicles had apparently
been! traveling at high speed. They
locked wheels, skidded 130 feet and
crashed into a telephone pole. '
Two-fcar Crash , . .
The intersection's tenth victim
died )on a Sunday morning seven
years later. She was Mrs. Mary
Schrrtidt, 57, or Salem, who was
proneunced dead on .arrival at a
Silverton Hospital after a two-car
crash on June 21, 1953.
Hef nusDana, sieve j. acnmiai,
suffered a fractured skull, jaw
and shoulder in the accident. He
recovered after long hospitaliza
tion. v
In j the second automobile were
Mr. and Mrs. Rienhart E. Werner
of Salem Route 6 and their 7-weeks-old
baby. The two' adults re
ceived non-serious injuries and the
baby was unhurt. . '
; The roadside markers commem
orating the traffic deaths were set
up recently near the intersection
by an insurance company which is
conducting a traffic . safety . pro
gram. I r
Oee estimate indicates that
America will have about five mil
lion college students in 1975 .com
pared to about 2la million in 1953.
