80 officers gathered together in one

cing completed a busy day.
On Wednesday evening. Dec. 27.

man, will talk on Home Beautifica-
tion. Various granges of the county
will supply entertaining features.

Safety Program is
National in Scope
The campaign for safety on the
highways is not just an effort of Sec
retary of State Earl Snell and the
Oregon state highway commission
but is of national scope, Hugh Ros
son, director of safety for the Ore
gon commission, told an audience
of some 50 men at the Elks temple
last Thursday evening.
Rosson recited numerous causes of
accidents on the highways, all of
which have been called to the atten
tion of car drivers repeatedly but
which must continue to be called to
the public's attention until all are
educated to the safest methods of
handling automobiles and the gen
eral conduct of driver and pedes
trian alike on the highways are bet
ter understood. Changing conditions
he said necessitate more rigid ap
plication of common sense rules.
When automobiles were a novelty
there was little thought given to
their regulation on the roads, but
as their numbers increased and the
demand grew for paved roads it was
realized something must be done.
In 1905 the state of Oregon issued
218 automobile licenses. In 1940
it is epected that the number will
reach 375,000. This growth in a
period of 34 years has been a chal
lenge to the state to keep pace with
highways and the cry is for more
and more paved roads.
Mr. Rosson showed slide pictures
illustrating the work being done
throughout the country along the
lines of safety. One set of slides
had been furnished the safety di
rectors by the American Legion.
Safety on the highways is also fea
tured by the Elks lodge and it was
through the local lodge that Mr.
Rosson was brought to Heppner.
$25 TURNED IN
Residents of the Eight Mile and
Gooseberry sections purchased $25
worth of Christmas seals, according
to V. L. Carlson, chairman of the
district, who turned over the money
to the county chairman of the an
nual health fund campaign in Hepp
ner Tuesday.
