State Traffic Deaths Exceed Year Ago I Oregon traffic smash-ups have killed 113 persons so far this year, Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry said Friday. I A breakdown by month shows I January with 35 deaths, February 1 23: March. 27: and April, 28. New- hrv said the Aon figure may sun fro hitrher if delayed reports are received, or if persons injured in accidents succumb. The four month toll exceeds that record for the corresponding period last year, when 106 fatali ties were reported. On the basis of these figures Newbrv said he has called on the state traffic safety division to "exert all possible efforts during the summer months to help hold accidents to a minimum". Safety officials said they plan an intensive campaign to famil iarize out-of-state vacationists with Oregon roads and traffic laws and hope to make special appeals to Oregon drivers for in creased courtesy, attention and natience behind the wheel. Most accidents, the division said, could be prevented by com mon sense courtesv and alert ness when driving. The division also figures that some drivers be come too relaxed on vacations or Sundav drives, allowing their minds and their eyes to stray from the hichwav. Other suggestions for cutting the traffic death toll included: avoi A crowding too many miles into a day's drive, abstain from rlrinkinr and driving, and stop frequently while on long trips to break the monotony ol driving. , o Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Fergu son, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Thomp son and Mr. and Mrs. frank An derson are in Portland this week end to attend the Cattlemen's Association meeting.
