« ♦ P U B L IS H E D W E E K L Y IN O U R P L A N T O N VOL. 17, NO. 7 Oregon Safety Week M arch 19 to 25 Designated by Snell t 4 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. ALOHA Mr and Mrs. C. W.

T Gerlinger, Republican National Committee woman for Ore­ gon, is inviting Republican men and 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 to the 1944 Convention. If no Young Republicans are elected as delegates 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 Lofton Tatum, 1310 Yeon Building, is 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 the Young Republican Federation of Oregon. Stock Market Awaits Push Babson Sees No M arked Change Until This Comes U . S.
