Traffic Accidents
Outstanding feature of recent
Orppon traffic accident deaths is
the high proportion of fatalities
occurring on the highway sys
tem rather than in cities and
towns, Secretary of Stale Karl T.
Newhry has reported.
The secretary pointed out that
rural areas in the state now claim
79 per cent of all traffic deaths
while the average for the nation
as a whole is 65 per cent. As re
cently as 1944 Oregon rural area
dpalhs were only 61 per cent of
the total, he said.
"While driver error is the Im
mediate cause of nearly all our
traffic fatalities, it is undoubted-
both more frequent and more fa
tal," Newhry declared.
Another indication of the same
trend is seen in comparative fig
ures on pedestrian fatalities, he
said. "However, pedestrian deaths
are usually due to human error
rather than to lack of proper en
gineering safeguards. Our record
in this respect indicates an im
proved attitude on the part of
our drivers and walkers."
Newhry' asserted that failure to
accomplish construction of mini- i
mum highway facilities tn tne
next few years would send traf
fic losses skyward. Constantly in
creasing traffic loads lend ur
gency to the highway problem,
he said.
J. P. Gaines, manager of the
Eastern Oregon Electric Co-operative,
was conferring with offi-
y true that overburdened and ob-: cials of the Columbia Basin Elec-
solete highways are an under ly-'trie Co-operative in Heppner on;
ing factor, making driver errors Wednesday.

Snow Sports Take
Center of Stage As
Winter Approaches
Increased snow sports activi
ties throughout the state for the
1948-49 winter and early spring
season 'are indicated by reports
currently received from ski ar
eas by the Oregon state highway
commission travel information
department.
More than 20 winter sports ar
eas are to be in operation. Of
these, 17 are in 13 Oregon na
tional forests, one at Crater Lake
National park and another on
non-federal lands on Siskiyou
summit. Other areas are located
in the immediate vicinities of
different towns and cities for
limited use, without prepared fa
cilities.
Improvements are reported in
larger ski areas, several of which
will be scenes of Pacific North
western Ski association jumping
and racing tournaments.
Mt. Hood national forest at the
northern end of Oregon's Cas
cade mountains offers the larg
est number of individual areas,
with seven available for winter
sports fans. The Timberline
Lodge area, 63 miles from Port
land on the south slope of Mt.
Hood, above Government Camp,
U. S. Highway 50, attracts visit
ors from early November to ear
ly June. The lodge itself accom
modates 250 guests. Dormitory
accommodations are also avail
able. The parking area has space
for 700 cars.
Facilities include a chair lift,
5000 feet long with a rise of
1000 feet, and three rope tows of
400, 500 and 600 feet in length.
Problems of operating the chair
lift during heavy snows were
solved during 1948 by building a
tunnel at the lift entrance to
prevent snow piling up. A num
ber of steel towers were raised
where drifts were particularly
high.
Mid-winter timberline snow Is
from 8 to 20 feet deep with tern
peratures averaging around 24
degrees above lero. Ski classes
will be underway throughout the
winter.
University Chorus
To Present Handel's
Famous "Messiah"
More than 500 students, rep
resenting the finest vocal talent
at the University of Oregon, are
preparing for the university's
forthcoming production of Geo.
Frederick Handel's famed "Mes
siah" under the direction of
Dean Theodore Kratt of the
school of music.
Less than three days remain
until the ever-popular Christmas
oratorio is presented in McAr
thur court Sunday night, Decem
ber 5, but rehearsals Indicate
this year's presentation will sur
pass in excellence the school's
last performance in 1941. The
chorus and nine soloists, and the
accompanying 70-piece univers
ity symphony orchestra are sac
rificing nothing in striving for
the perfection demanded by
Handel's work.
The two-hour performance
traces the story of Christ from
the angel's first prophecy, the
