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. Do you think it is necessary that one human life be sacrificed to mod ern traffic every day in the state of Oregon? That thousands must be injured and milliins of dollars in property damage suffered as a part of the price we must pay for the en joyment and convenience afforded us by the use of motor vehicles? Are you willing to pay your part of this tremendous toll? If not, what are you doing to change present conditions? No one can be sure of being exempt from the penalties of reckless or careless driv ing. Its toll will eventually be felt by you, your family and your friends. No group is too small, no family cir cle and its contacts so few in num ber that it can feel secure. Deaths on Oregon highways show ed an increase of more than 18 per cent in 1936 as compared with the previous year. The number of fa talities for this year again is raised. Can this continue indefinitely or will an awakened public conscience put an end to a condition that has become intolerable. You ask what can be done? The answer is: manifest an active inter est. An aroused public sentiment will get results. Discuss the problem with your educators, your police of ficers and your courts. Call it to the attention of your legislators, that they may act if necessary. Remem ber that education, enforcement and engineering must go hand in hand in the ultimate solution of this terri ble and perplexing problem. Every community in Oregon is in terested in bringing about better driving conditions on our streets and highways, and it is my hope that ac tive work will go forward in each of them in the very near future. Do your part to help eliminate Oregon's traffic deaths.
