P0BUC ENEMY ONE ...TH HOLP-UP "ftUS j
werej number twothe Traffic sios!
National Safely Council
Anyone who "holds up" traffic
robs other drivers of time, just as
the bandit who "holds up" a bank
robs the depositors of their cash,
Secretary of State Earl Snell re
marked recently.
Bus drivers who must maintain a
tough schedule day in and day out,
regardless of traffic conditions, are
unanimous in condemning the driver
who crawls along like a snail, forcing
other drivers to remain behind his
car in a long, impatient line. One bus
operator reported following a string
of cars for 50 miles before being able
to pass the leader, who was a young
fellow in a powerful coupe out for
a ride with his girl friend.
There are often good reasons for
driving slowly, but there is never
an excuse for delaying traffic for
those reasons, Snell said. The man
with the poorly-functioning car, or
the man who wishes to gaze at the
scenery, can easily pull off to the
side of the road at no inconvenience
to himself and permit the cars be
hind him to pass.
Truck drivers who must travel
slowly on hills and winding roads
make a regular practice of stopping
at intervals to let faster traffic by.
There is no reason, in Snell's opin
ion, why private operators should
not show equal willingness to assist
traffic and forestall the formation
of a dangerous "line-up" on the
highway.
Crop Insurance
Adjustments to
Be in Counties
State and county agricultural
committees of Oregon are scheduled
to receive special training in Cor
vallis on February 27 and 28 on the
work of adjusting crop losses of
growers who are insured under the
Federal Crop Insurance corporation,
marking the final phase of the 1939
crop insurance program in this state.
Arrangements for the adjustment
and payment of losses are going
forward at the same time that ap
plications are being written for
spring wheat. Closing date for mak
ing applications for spring wheat
crop insurance is March 1.
The state and county AAA com'
mittees will be in full charge of the
insurance adjustments in Oregon,
the state office at Corvallis has been
notified, and farmers who believe
that their wheat has suffered loss
sufficient to warrant a claim will re
port the condition to the county
committee. The insured crop will
then be examined by an inspector
working under the county commit'
tee's direction.
Actual settlement of approved
claims will be made by branch of'
fices of the corporation, and grow
ers may receive indemnity payments
in cash or in the form of warehouse
receipts for actual grain.
The 664 Oregon farmers now hold
ing crop insurance policies are
guaranteed a certain number of
bushels of wheat, and in case some
unavoidable hazard such as drouth,
hail or winter-kill reduces the crop
below the insured amount, the grow'
er is eligible for an indemnity suf
ficient to bring his production up
to the insured amount.
In case of total loss, proof of loss
of the entire insured amount will be
submitted by the grower to obtain
settlement.
In case of substantially total loss
one which makes it impracticable
to care for the crop further proof
of loss will be based on the amount
of loss sustained, taking into ac
count the appraised production which
might be expected from the dam
aged crop. In either total or substan
tially total loss, making it imprac
ticable to care for the crop further,
the grower may put the land to
other use after adjustment.
Where crop losses cannot be de
fined as total or sbstantialluy total,
final adjustment will not be made
until the wheat has been threshed
to determine actual yield.
Herman Green was sufficiently
recovered from his recent appendi
citis operation to return home Sun
day from the hospital. .
