Traffic Deaths Are Unlicensed In Oregon, the traffic of unli censed drivers are nearly three times as likely to be fatal as those of valid license holders. Although licensed drivers are responsible for the lion's share of all accidents and deaths, the rec ord reveals a difference in the le thal quality, of their mishaps when compared with those of unlicensed drivers, according to the secretary of state's office. Using figures for Oregon resi dents only. It is reported that li censed fata drivers numbered 368 in a total of 104,924 involved accidents last year. The ratio of non-fatal to fatal drivers was ap proximately 284 to one. Unlicens' ed death drivers totalled 39 out of 4014 involved in accidents for a ratio of 102 to one. It was pointed out that unlicens ed drivers include those who have allowed their permits to expire as well as those who have never held a valid permit. Those In the first category have been steadily in creasing since the staggered li cense renewal program went into effect in June, 1947, after a war time extension of expiration. Drivers holding licenses with a "5R" numerical prefix are urged to obtain renewal schedules from their police station or driver's ex aminer office. All such licenses will have expired by the end of May. Those who wait too long to renew may be required to pass the original driver's examination be fore receiving a valid permit.

The hardest hurdle was taking the course with a classful of coeds. Lindley, a junior at Idaho State , College, is an art major, ne iuui.u last fall he'd have to take a course in dress designing. I "When I entered the class I was full of enthusiasm," Lindley de clared. "I had hopes of turning out to be a great designer might even shorten the nemimes. But the first day in class, stu dents had to fill out a question naire, listing waist and bust meas urements. Lindley found he was a "perfect 40." Little things like that kept com ing up. Now Lindley thinks he d rather do another bombing mis sion than take any more dress de signing courses. City Attorney 'Just Observer' ASHLAND IP) City Attor ney William M.

Schwarz, resident en gineer on the Dorena Dam project, said Saturday that full operation on an around-the-clock basis is not expected until the first part of June. Foremen for the many crews may be on location during May, he said, and double shifting may oc cur later in that month. Quite a bit of the mechanical equipment is now being installed, he reported, and most of the con crete work is done. Actual filling work cannot be started until weather is more ideal. A. H. Steiner, project superin tendent for the Dorena Construc tion Co., said the dam probably will be in operation by flood sea son next.winter. It will be about seven months ahead of schedule. If so. engineers will be able to hold back 1.1.' feet in the event of a Willamette River flood. With the 3 to 6 feet that can be held back by Fern Ridge and Cot taee Grove dams, the new reser voir will lessen downstream flood damage considerably. eeting Is Set By Progressives The Progressive Party of Ore gon will hold its state convention in Eugene Sunday, March 20.
