P * f r Four C E N T R A L POINT AM ER ICAN Sprague Winds Up 1-MINUTE SAFETY TALKS Whirlwind Campaign By Don Herold Portland, Vlay 11 -Coming tiuwn the home stretch apparently w-11 out in the lead, Charles A. Sprague will spend the last week of the pri­ mary campaign in Portland, having already covered a large part of the outlying state W e ' drive m oderately, havi ■and if an acci d en t I IX will be a nicer one How to Have More Trivial Accidents If we are going to have automobile accidents, let s have little ones. It is not such a serious matter when we dent a fender. What we don't want to dent is a skull. How shall we select for ourselves the smaller or more insignificant or skin-deep or grade "C " accidents? I have a book in my lap, compiled by The Travelers Insurance Company on last year's smashes and crashes. It tells us which kind of accidents are the deadliest. Let’s get a line on '*tn and avoid THAT kina? • About the surest way to cinch j our death in an automobile accident is to mix in a little alcohol. With an brtoni- Gated driver (you or somebody else) at the wheel, your chance of death is greater than with a sober man at the wheel. I mean if you take 1,000 drunk accidents and 1,000 sober acci­ dents there'll be more deaths in tee During hi» ;>tay here Sprague will dfcllver two radio addresses The first will be over K01N at it p. m. Friday, May 13, and the second will! be over JCOW at 9:45 Wednesday, | May 18. The Salem editor has a I splendid radio voice and he gets over a real message to those interest-; ed in a revitalised republican party, ready to meet problems of the day In an understanding and business­ like manner. Sprague has completed a swing over the state, during which he met thousands o f voters and left with them an impression that presages his success at the polls Friday of next week. W hile the Sprague campaign did not atari until after the last date for filing, it has been an Intensive one and reports arriving at the office o f Robert Boyd, state manager, in­ dicate it is a winning one. In a re­ markably short space of time the Salem editor has become known over a great state in a manner that means votes. This has come about without flare of drums, for the Sprague campaign has been one to draw support of thinking persons who want energy coupled with a dignity in keeping with the o f fic e being sought. Why Change? V O TE for Judge Hall S. LUSK drunk accidents. Even an intoxicated pedestrian I- TH l'R M D A Y , S U T 13, I 93H CH N TR AL POINT, OREGON a better chance of being killed than a sober pedestrian—per accident. There has been a lot of loose talk about the safety of driving fast. A lot of people think that it is all right to drive fast if they drive ''careful". But the figures show that the rate ol death per accident which involves exceeding the speed limit is much worse than the average death rate for all accidents due to improper driving practices. Places, too, have a lot to do with the violence of your accident. The rate of death per accident on highways and at rural intersections is more than 200 per cent greater than on city streets. Time plays a part, also. The death rate per accident after dark is about 60 per cent worse than during daylight. Slav all your accidents be little ones, and they're more apt to be little if you know about and avoid these deadlier spots and practices.
