Page Eight Heppner Enlists to Halt Traffic Blitzkreig Determined to halt the Grim Reap er's blitzkrieg across Oregon's high- ways and streets, Heppner was to day allied with other cities in the state in the battle against traffic accidents when officials entered the city in the 1940 Oegon Cities Traf fic Safety Contest, sponsored by Earl Snell, secretary of state. The city will compete with other municipalitites in its population class in the campaign to show an improvement in the number of traf fic accients involving poperty dam age, injuries and deaths for the year .1940 as compared to the preceding three-year average, according to Mayor Bleakman, who announced the city's entrance into the contest. Other city officials active in the contest are City Recorder E. R. Hus ton and Chief of Police Schenck. At the end of the year, cities with the best record in each of the four population divisions will be awarded large highway plaques, suitable for display at city entrances. In addition, a certificate of award suitable for framing and posting in a prominent place, will be presented. Plaques awarded winners in the 1939 contest may now be seen at city entrances of Medford, Bend, Burns, and Wood burn, winners in the first, second, third an fourth divisions respective ly. This year's plaques will be larger an will be erected at higher eleva tions. Cities are grouped as follows: First Division, 10,000 population and over; second ivision, 5,000 to 10,000 population; third division, 2,000 to 5,000 population; fourth division, 1,000 to 2,000 population. In judging each city's record, the number of accidents involving prop erty damage, injuries and deaths for each month will be compared to the preceding three-year average for that city. Where improvement lsj shown, the city will be ranked high an where no improvement or retro gression is shown, the city will be ranked lower in the standings. "In 1939, the state of Oregon was awarded second place for the eleven western states in the National con test, sponsored by the National Safe ty Council, and I am confident that the state contest for cities can again be a stimulating factor in the effort to improve ou accident record this year," declared the mayor. Urge Safe Driving to Protect Children Motorists should drive carefully in school zones despite the vacation season, because many school play grounds remain open to provide places of recreation for children, it is pointed out by Dr. E. P. McDaniel, president of Oregon State Motor as sociation. "Protection of school children dur ing most of the year by the school safety patrols, with the additional influence fo classroom instruction in traffic safety, impresses upon them the need for caution," the mo torsts organization president said. "These daily remainders are lack ing, however, during the vacation season and children are apt to be come forgetful of safety rules and incline toward carelessness. "This situation clearly places a greater amount of responsibility on the motorist who drives wherever children may be at play." The statement also commented that parents can assist in protecting their children from traffic risks by emphasizing to them these rules: Confine play to playgrunos, yards, or sidewalks, for the street is a anger zone. Look both ways before crossing a street or highway and cross only at intersections. Never use roller skates on that portion of the street used by vehic ular traffic, Stay close to the right side of the road, as near the curb as possible, when riding a bicycle. Never solicit rides from motorists and when walking on highways keep to the left in order to face approach ing traffic. Dr. J. P. Stewart, eye-sight spec ialist of Pendleton will be at the Heppner Hotel on Wednesday, Aug. 7th. fleppner inHiiimtiiHiiinimniHUHiiiinimmi At Heppner CHURCHES CHURCH OF CHRIST 9:45 Bible School 11:00 Communion and preaching. 7:30 P.
