Traffic Deaths In Oregon During 1950 Exceed 1949 Ratio Oregon is entering the final month of 1950 with traffic deaths already exceeding those, of the entire year of 1949, Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry reported today. An estimated 40 persons died in November mishaps to bring the 11-month toll to 373, as com pared with 356 fatalities for the 12-month period ending Decem ber 31, 1949. Traffic death in creases were noted in all but three months of 1950 thus far with "Deadly December" yet to bd accounted for, Newbry said. The secretary reminded that December of last year saw fatal ities jump 60 percent over the month before and the mileage death rate climb from 6.7 to 11.5 making it the worst single month experienced in 1949. Major factors in December ac cidents are heavy travel during the holiday season and wide spread drinking, safety officials pointed out, . with Christmas shoppers adding to the pedest rian hazards in downtown areas. Walkers were reminded that slippery road surfaces make it impossible for a motorist to stop in time even though the pedest rian is seen. "The driver who has had but two or three drinks at the holi day party frequently is more dangerous to himself and others than the one who is definitely intoxicated," Newbry declared. "Such a person is likely to take chances he normally would av oid." Motorists whose holiday plans include drinking were urged to leave their cars at home. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Simas were attending to matters of business in John Day on Monday. Pauline Woiski drove to Pen dleton on Saturday to do some Christmas shopping. the letters start.
