iDrivers Warned To
i Watch School Buses
! Complaints that some drivers
'still disregard Oregon's school
J bus stop law have been. reaching
the secretary of state's office
I sH.ooU nt3ned this fall.
The secretary's traffic safety
division said school bus drivers
are plagued by motorists who
merely slow down and then pro
ceed to pass a bus stopped to
load or unload passengers.
Some school bus drivers also
share the blame for confusion
over the law, secretary of state
Earl T. Newbry said. An occa-
icnal school bus operator will
wave a driver past even though
( lakh-en are leaving tha bus.
The law, Newbry said, requires
drivers to stop when meeting or
overtaking a school bus stopped
to load or unload passengers on
n two lane road. Where there are

Diabetes Week is
Being Observed
To find the one million un
known diabetics in the U. S.
is the theme of National Diabetes
week, being observed Nov. 13 to
19, and most physicians in this
area are joining in the cam
paign, it was announced.
The week was started In 1948
under the sponsorship of the
American Diabetes association to
draw the attention of the public
to the need for early diagnosis
and attention to diabetes. The
association is composed of 1000
practicing physicians and uni
quely, it conducts no fund-raising
campaign. The Oregon State
Medical association sponsors the
campaign here.
Most local physicians are of
fering free urine analysis during
the week to aid in the search
for diabetes.
Moving pictures on the diabe
tes story are available to organi
zations through the state board
of health.

October Traffic
Deaths Drop Some
Oregon's October traffic death
count was set tentatively at 38
Thursday, eight fewer than the(
46 fatalities repoited in October
a year ago.
Secretary of State Earl T. New
bry said this pegs the toll for
the year thus far at 327 as com
pared with 332 at the same time
last year. He said the margin
may be narrowed, however, If de
layed fatality reports force an
upward revision of the October
figure.
The state lias an excellent!
chance of completing the year
with a net reduction in traffic
deaths if the November and De
cember totals can be held at or
below 1954' levels, the secretary
said. Thirty-seven Oregonians
died in traffic last November and
December accidents claimed 53,
worst month of the entire year.
o
Even alfalfa seedl'.n
tp.-I hv nrav applications
ulatlons caused no damage to
either alfalfa or clover, but lotus
seedlings showed some damage
at the higher rate. A safe one
pound rate on lotus, however,
controlled more than 90 percent
of broadleaf weeds.
Biggest benefits to Oregon, Fur
tick believes, will come from con
trol of sour (or curly) dock that
county agents list as the worst
pasture problems in central and
southern Oregon, the Willamette
Valley, and especially on the
coast.
H. B. Howell, superintendent of
OSC's John Jacob Astor branch
experiment station at Astoria, re
ports three pounds per acre of the
butyric acid formulation killed
all dock in grass-legume pas
ture trials with only a temporary
set-back to the pasture. Other
main pasture weeds that the re
searchers now hope to control
include thistle and buttercup.
