Let us tell you the thrilling story of Miracle Cookery. Pacific Power & Light Company Always at Your Service Oregon Traffic Deaths A series of weekly articles on the problem of Highway Safety by Earl Snell, Secretary of State. Two out of every five victims of traffic accidents are pedestrians. Of the 37,800 fatalities in 1936, pedes trians made up 15,100. Clearly no safety campaign can be complete that does not include consideration of the pedestrian. This is especially true on account of the fact that such a large number of the pedestrian victims are little children and elderly people. Intelli gent driving and proper care by the motor car operator will naturally solve a considerable part of this problem, but many, many accidents, especially in the cities, can be avoid ed by proper use of the streets by the people "on foot." Most of these fatalities occurred in cities, the greater part at inter sections. The deaths among people walking along the highways in rural sections totaled 2,450, and the toll among children playing on the road ways was a serious matter. These are accidents that are especially tragic on account of the fact that they could be so easily avoided. Schools are doing a fine work in training children to be constantly aware of the hazards of traffic. But it is a work that must be carried on constantly, that requires repeated instruction and warning. Do not walk on the highway at night dressed in dark clothes. Be sure of a clear right of way when crossing the streets. Do not cross between intersections. Obey the rules of common sense at all times, and help eliminate Oregon's traffic deaths.
