Kavanagh Leaves
Forest Region
E. K. Kavanagh, who for the past
twenty years has been assistant re
gional forester in charge of wild life
and range management for the North
Pacific region of the forest service,
will leave about July 1 to accept the
position of assistant regional for
ester in charge of education and in
formation in the Intermountain re
gion, with headquarters at Ogden,
Utah, according to announcement of
regional forester, C. J. Buck. He will
be succeeded by L. H. Douglas, for
men chief of range management for
the Rocky Mountain region, Denver,
Colorado. ,'.
"Kavanagh has contributed to the
sound progress of range and wild
life management in Oregon and
Washington during the years he has
been in this region," said Mr. Buck.
"He has established a wide acquaint
anceship among stockmen of this
region, and has secured their friend
ly cooperation in promoting the or
derly and scientific use of the graz
ing resource, and its coordination
with wild life problems on the na
tional forest range. He leaves a solid
foundation upon which his successor
can build in the wise use of these
important forest resources."
. Kavanagh came to the Portland
office in August. 1918. Prior to that
time he had served .through the va
rious field grades, entering the for
est service as forest guard in the
Rocky Mountain region in August,
1906.
His wide experience admirably fits
him for his new assignment in the
largest national forest region in the
United States, where range livestock

economic life of the local commu

AAA Warns Motorists
Of Summer Hazards
Despite favorable driving condi
tions, most fatal traffic accidents oc
cur during clear dry weather, and
a special warning has been issued to
vacationing motorists by the Oregon
State Motor association.
According to W. R. McDonald, di
rector of the motoring group in
charge of safety, 83 per cent of all
fatal crashes occur when the ele
ments are most suited to the reliable
operation of an automobile.
Here are a few rules for vacation
ists to follow:
1. Simply remember, that if you
are in an accident while traveling
more than 40 miles per hour there is
one chance in only 19 that someone
will be killed. National statistics,
however, show that if you are trav
eling under 40 miles per hour, there
is only one chance in 44 that some
one will be killed. Death, they say,
begins at 40.
2. Turn the wheel over to some
one else if you are very tired or
stop and rest. At least six terrible
fatal crashes were caused by fatigue
last year in Oregon alone.
3. Be as alert on the open road as
you are in the city. An accident oc
curring on an apparently unobstruct
ed highway is much more likely to
be fatal than one in a congested
area. 15,600 out of 40,300 persons
killed in 1937 died on the open road.
A clear, straight highway is often

like an unloaded gun. '
4. Always watch for pedestrians.
Pedestrian traffic increases with the
advent of summer weather and
when you are a pedestrian be on the
lookout for cars. Records show that
nearly 50 of all persons killed are
pedestrians.
5. Before you start on your vaca
tion, be sure that your lights, tires
and brakes are in good condition.
It's easier to avoid accidents if your
car responds properly. -
And finally, the most fundamental
rule of all is courtesy. By playing
fair with the other fellow you will
not only find safe driving more sim
ple but enjoy a pleasant and care
free vacation.
