was in February 1945, when sales
were less than half the present
volume. Although seasonal de
clines are normal, no other month
ha failed to show an increase
from year to year, Newbry said.
Any decrease in gasoline sales
is accompanied by a correspond
ing drop in automobile travel
mileaee. the secretary pointed
out. That the decline was sudden
is revealed by the fact that sales
for November were nearly a per
cent hieher,than a vear ago,
while the December figure is two
percent less.
The year-end report lists total
1948 Rales at 468.295.444 gallons
and gross fuel taxes at $23,414,-
772.30. The gain over 1947 is near
ly nine percent, Newbry said.
Monthly fuel tax collections
were above the $2,000,000 figure
in June, July, August and Sep
tember, the reDort shows. Approx
imately 13 percent of gross taxes
are eventually returned to non
highway useis as refunds.

Dimming your headlights

Auto Headlights
jMust Be Turned On
.When Visibility Poor
Oregon law requires automo
bile headlights to be turned on
in daytime whenever there is not
enough light for a driver to see
clearly for a distance of 500 feet,
motorists 'were reminded bv Sec
retary of State Earl T. Newbry
! today,
I lie said complaints are being
received that many drivers are
switching on only parking lights
when encountering dense fog dur
ing daylight hours, a practice
! which improves visibility only
I slightly and does little to reduce
the collision hazard.
i
"The law calls for headlights
under such atmospheric condi
tions, not parking lights," he
pointed out. "Using headlighls
on the lower beam will minim
ize back-reflection into the eyes
of the driver and will greatly im
prove the chances of being seen
I in time to avoid colliding with
: another car or striking a pedes
trian." .
I Records for the first six months
of 1918 show that half of all traf.
fic accidents during that period
happened in rain, snow, fog or
generally cloudy weather, the
secretary reported. Forty-nine of
the crashes were fatal.
Cars often collide witfit In
jury to passengers. But whrh put.

injury or death to the walker,
member that, next time your
thinking of Jaywalking.
j Crossing between intersections
is often the shortest way to get
j where you're going if the hos
pital or cemetery is your destin-
jation. Otherwise, its better to
I walk to the corner.
