Safety Week
M arch 19 to 25
Designated by Snell

Salem, March 17—Governor Snell
today called attention to the designa
tion of the week March 19 to 25 a?
Oregon Safety Week and urged state
wide participation in this program ot
accident prevention and educational
efforts.
“ Accidents in the home, in the
schools, in traffic and in daily occu
pations take a toll comparable to that
of war itself and yet are in large
measure preventable," said Governor
Snell.
“This year we have added incen
tive.
Even beyond the reasons giv
en by loss of life and unnecessary hu
man suffering, preventable accidents
are hampering our war effort.
Acci
dents disable and in many instances
eliminate manpower.
Accidents are
burdening overworked physicians and
overcrowded
hospitals.
Accidents
discourage whole families, damage
morale and generally disrupt our best
efforts.”
Oregon Safety Week is to be an
accident prevention campaign incor
porating the
united efforts of the
Oregon Safety association, the state
department of traffic safety, the Am
erica Society of Safety Engineers, the
Portland Traffic Safety commission,
the Red Cross and many other or
ganizations on safety activities.
The Oregon Safety Association,
with headquarters in Portland, is ser
ving as a clearinghouse for campaign
activities.

women who care to do so to partici
pate to the extent of not more than
ten dollars each in a fund to send
two young Republicans (age 21 to 36
years old) as delegates or alternates

If no Young

or chosen as alternates, the fund will
pay the travel and hotel expenses of
the Young Republican National Com
mitteeman and the Young Republi
can National Committee woman or
their representatives.
These young
people in order to qualify for the
award must file in the May primaries
by April 4th as unpledged to any
presidential candidate.
They may
run either from their own Congress-
sional district or as delegates at
large.
They must indicate in the Vo
ter's pamphlet that they are Young
Republicans (not over 36 years of
age).
It is earnestly hoped that
several well qualified Young Repub
lican men and women will be chosen
as delegates or alternates.
Attorney

the Chairman of the committee of ar
rangements for this award
Other
members are Mrs. Mildred Pierce and
Adam LeFor.
This fund will be dis
bursed through the state treasurer of
