TOURISTS, TRAFFIC, SAFETY
It is not too late, we believe, to comment on the tourist
reception school, which came to a close in Bend last week. In
this undertaking Bend pioneered in Oregon, aa Bend has pio
neered in many enterprises. There is cause for gratification
in this, alone, but it is more satisfying to be able to look back
on the school and to realize that it was also a successful one; .
The interest displayed at the outset was to be expected.
There hi always interest in a new thing. But the interest was
maintained throughout the sessions. It reached its climax in
the final meeting last week when diplomas were awarded to
those wh6 had completed the course. For all of this, it is need
less to say, a degree of cooperation from many persons was
required and willingly given. A special bouquet goes to Gil
bert Moty and his tourist and publicity committee of the
chamber of commerce for their work in organizing and con
ducting the school.
It was entirely fitting that Oregon's secretary of state.
Earl Snell, should close the final session with the presentation
of diploma for, after all, tourist movement is one of the big
factors in highway traffic and highway traffic, in turn, makes
the secretary of state's job the biggest in Oregon, excepting
only that of the governor.
In connection with highway traffic. Earl Snell finds the
subject Of motoring safety the most fascinating. It is part of
his job to promote safety on the highways, it is true, but it is
also his hobby. It might be more accurate to say that it has
become almost a religion with him.
Never does Earl Snell miss an opportunity to spread the
gospel of traffic safety. John Carey, one of his aides, developed
the theme at the last session of the tourist school ; the secre
tary of state included convincing remarks on the same general
subject in his address. Such discussion had a proper place at
such ft meeting. As a matter of fact it would be in keeping in
almost any sort of gathering.
One thing leads to another, and the foregoing reminds us
that Oregon highways are among the safest in the nation. In
the national traffic safety contest which recently ended, Ore
gon had first place for the entire western division. On a mile
age basis its motor vehicle death rate in 1940 decreased 9.3
per cent from the average of the years of 1937, 1938 and 1939,
and three per cent from the rate of 1939. These figures indi
cate steady progress, not merely a sudden spurt.
How has Oregon achieved this record? Not by any spec
tacular means, but by persistent effort in education, in engi
neering study to learn and remedy physical causes for acci
dents, by requiring examinations for vision, knowledge of the
rules of the road and driving ability before the issuance of
operator licenses, by highway patrol and law enforcement
Oregon's driving schools have been of great value in this
program. The first such school in the state, it will be recalled,
was held in Bend.
It must not be thought that Oregon's traffic safety work is
' confined entirely to the open highways, however. Safety com
petition is encouraged among cities. In such a contest two
years ago, Bend won first place in its class, last year earned
an honorable anention. Experts are made available by the
state to conduct traffic studies for municipalities. Such a
study was carried on here some time since. One of the impor
tant recommendations which resulted from this study was
pigeon holed. The futility of seeking expert advice and fail
ing to act in' accordance with it should be at once apparent.

Carolyn talked jerkily as she
literally snatched off pajamas

She paused only to telephone for
