There were 30 pedestrians killed in
traffic during the first half of this
year, compared to 39 for the same
period a year ago. In the city or
Portland, pedestrian fatalities drop­
ped 31 per cent
While the pedestrian death rate is
being reduced this year, Farrell
pointed out a toll of five persons per
month was still too high. Nearly all
pedestrian deaths are the result of
unsafe walking practices on the part
of the person on foot, so greater care
on the part of the pedestrian would
bring about further decreases In the
pedestrian death toll.
The unsafe practice? of jaywalking,
or crossing in mid-block, still ac­
counts for the greatest number of pe-
; destrian accidents in Oregon, Farrell
‘said. Next comes crossing intersec­
tions against traffic lights, walking
on the right side of the highway rath­
er than on the left, facing approach­
ing traffic, and crossing streets and
highways without looking for ap­
proaching cars.
“Oregon has won several national
awards in pedestrian protection,
Farrell said. “We can maintain the
high standard of pedestrian safety
only through whole-hearted coopera­
tion on the part of the driver and the
pedestrian."

The office of C. E. Mulkey, county
superintendent of schools, is now lo­
cated in the basement of the frame
building, where the county jail for­
merly was located. The change from

venience, not only to himself but to
those who call on him.
I keep their headlights jn good operat­
ing condition in the interests of safe­
ty and vehicle conservation.
“As cars get older, headlights need
increasing attention to keep them
operating at top efficiency,'’ the safe­
ty division declared. “Reflectors get
dirty or rusty and the efficiency of

per cent. Dirt on lenses also can

"Defective wiring, improperly ad
justed generators, old fuses and bulbs
ail contribute to light failures on
older vehicles A vehicle with one
light is a dangerous hazard on busy
highways and on narrow roads Tlx
vehicle with no lights is an even
greater hazard."
The safety division urged drivers
to check their lights regularly, t..
see that they are properly adjusted at
all times and to use the traffic beam
only when meeting cars at night.
