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.
