Pinball Machines
To 3o by Sept. 1 st
Pinball machines in Morrow coun
ty are slated for the discard by Sep
tember 1st, according to announce
ment from the office of Sheriff C. J.
D. Bauman on instructions from Dis
trict Attorney Frank C. Alfred.
A recent test case of pinball ma
chine legality was made in Marion
county where the decision against
their use was given, and following
which the attorney general ruled
that action in the varoius counties
was left in the hands of the district
attorneys. The action here is in line
with that being followed generally
throughout the state. '
The basis of contention for opera
tion of the pinball machines has been
that the opportunity of "beating"
them is a matter of skill and not of
chance. The decision of the Marion
county court, however, placed them
in the realm of strictly gambling
devices such as are prohibited by
state statute.

Deaths
A series of weekly articles on
the problem of Highway Safety
by Earl Snell, Secretary of State.
Do you believe in signs? You don't
have to be superstitious to believe
in the ones placed by the highway
department for your guidance and
the promotion of safety on the high
ways. This belief in signs requires
only common sense.
No one "knows the road" so well
that he can afford to ignore the
warnings scientifically located along
our highways. Each location chosen
for these signs is given careful study.
Each sign is there for a definate pur
pose and that purpose is the safety
of the motoring public
All square signs mean caution.
They cover men at wook, cross
roads, school zone and side road.
All diamond shaped are slow signs
for various types of curves, loose
gravel, tunnels, narrow bridges, etc.
Stop signs are octagon in shape, and
all signs at railroad crossings are
round.
Many thousands of dollars are
spent annually in the placing of
these signs. They cannot be ignored
with impunity. The sensible driver
will take full advantage of the as
sistance they offer in safer driving.
Obey the laws and rules of the
road, follow the directions of the
highway signs and help eliminate
Oregon's traffic deaths.
