H. M. Hayden of Cave Junction was elected president; Paul Fat tig, vice president; W. J. McLean, secretary-treasurer; Jim Hogue, committeeman. The club went on record as fav oring the closing of Bolan lake to fishermen for two years so as to give the fish a chance to grow larger. They also passed a reso lution requesting the game com mission to allocate this district for trout for re-stocking pur poses. A brief summary of what the Kerby Rod and Gun club has ac complished the last year and some of their plans for the coming year are here presented: Fifty thousand Eastern brook and silver sides were stocked in Bolan, Tannen and Babyfoot lakes . Six hundred and twenty-five pheasants were distributed in the valley; 600 pounds of grain scat tered for our wild bird life dur ing last winter when snow had covered all the natural feeding grounds. The Kerby Rod and Gun club wishes to extend their sincere ‘hanks to the United States For est service, the Oregon State Game commission and to the peo ple of the Illinois valley for the splendid cooperation given our organization. We want to continue our pro gram of restocking both our bird and fish life. Some of the streams we hope to restock are, Deer, Qrayback, Cave and Sucker creeks. We would also like to put additional fish in the above men tioned lakes. If it is possible we want to restock the streams with a specie of lion-migratory trout. The organization is going to sponsor an educational program in our schools in the valley on game conservation. We need the support of every one in the valley. Let us make this county the game paradise it was in the early days. Join our organization.

Oregon's record for traffic ac cidents and deaths for the first five months of this year is truly alarming. Despite the work be ing done over the state by var ious organizations and agencies, the record grows steadily worse, the trail of death longer and bloodier. It becomes more and more apparent that today’s traf fic problem is not being met in our state, and that the problem of an aroused public opinion that will remove this menace still con fronts us. Deaths in this five months per iod increased from 103 in 1936 to 116 this year; injuries from 2285 to 2394, and accidents re ported from 11,056 to 13,981. It is unthinkable that the peo ple of Oregon will allow this toll of life and property to continue unabated—in fact, to grow worse year after year. Practically all motor vehicle accidents are def initely avoidable. Nearly every death, every injury can be traced directly to a careless act on the part of a pedestrian or a driver of a motor vehicle. No one will ingly contributes to disaster, but it would seem that a proper state of mind on the part of the public would have long since been creak ed by the seriousness of the ait- uation. Education and enforcement must go hand in hand to meet this problem. Give it your serious thought, obey the laws that are passed for your protection, and help eliminate Oregon’s traffic deaths.
