MAY NOT MO BAD
May was not the coldest May
ever. It was the fourth coldest.
The average mean temperature
w as *51.4, a good 3.6 below the 55
degrees that is normal. It was a
little colder 51.3 in 1953, a lot cold
er in 1916 with 49.9 and colder
than that yet in 1933 when it was
49.8.
Warmest day was the 19th
when it was 80 and coldest was
May 14 when it was 30, which
was the last frost. Average date
for last frost is May 10.
For precipitation the month
brought .69 inch and that is .11
below the normal. For the crop
year it now stands at 7 87 which
is 2.55 below normal.
Local Residents
Cause Most Wrecks
Local residents, not out-of-stat-
erg or strangers, contribute most
to Oregon’s traffic accident toll, a
study of statewide accident re
cords shows.
More than 90 per cent of the
drivers involved in traffnc mis
haps last year lived w ithin 25
miles of the scene of occurrence
and about the same percentage
held valid Oregon drivers licenses.
Although some 900,000 out-of-
state cars probably w ill be driv
ing Oregon streets and highways
this year, the division said the
tendency to blame tourists for a
major shaie of vacation-season
accidents is not consistent with
the facts.
