Heppner Ranks
First in Cities'
Traffic Safety Race
State Secretary Snell
Compliments City
on Fine Record
The only city in the contest to go
through the year 1940 without a
traffic death or injury, Heppner
was declared winner in the fourth
division of the 1940 Oregon Cities
Traffic Saefty contest today. The
contest is sponsored by Earl Snell,

ty activity.

fourth division, which includes cities
of from 1,000 to 2,000 population,
was Myrtle Point while honorable
mention went to West Linn, Ontario
and Reedsport.
Cities compete against their own
record in this contest. The average
accident experience for the past
three years is used as a base in
computing each city's standing. The
1940 record is compared to this av
erage and the city is graded accord
ing to the improvement or lack of
improvement in relation to the
three-year average.
In winning first place, Heppner
went through the year without a
traffic fatality or a traffic injury and
the city's traffic accidents were on
a par with the normal accident ex
pectancy of the city, as shown by
the three-year average. The fact
that there were neither deaths nor
injuries as a result of accidents in
the city during the year made Hepp
ner unique in the 56 cities entered
in the four divisions of the ocntest.
Other winners in the ontest were
as follows: First division, cities of
10,000 population or over, Portland,
first; Salem, seond. Second division,

Minnville, first; North Bend, second;

designating the city as a 1940 traffic
safety winner, which will be erected
at the city entrances. In addition; a
handsome, hand-drawn certificate of
.award, framed and ready to be hung
Jn the city offices, will be presented
city officials at an appropriate cer
emony to be arranged in the near
