Holmes today urged state-wide support for tiie "Slow Down and Live" traffic safety campaign, which begins Memorial Day, and said the state's goal will be to keep traffic deaths below 100 during the next three months. "If we can achieve this goal," he said, "we will be doing some thing we have managed to do only twice in the past five years." Last year, 115 people died in traffic accidents during June, July and August. Death counts for other recent summers were 123 in 1955; 99 in 1954 ; 98 in 1953; and 141 in 1952. "The mere fact that the traf fic accident problem has become so serious that the best we can realistically hope for is no more than 100 deaths in a three-month period should be enough to stir greater public support for this program," Governor Holmes said. Emphasis this year will again be on enforcement, centering around the campaign's central theme: reduction of violations associated with excess speed, Speed too fast for conditions, improper passing, following too closely and failure to yield the right of way. Oregon's program is headed by the state traffic safety commis sion, an agency composed of nine departments with responsibilities in the traffic safety field.

PHONE 8-7125 m i 1 I IS LrM With the wet conditions this spring a number of livestock men have been having trouble with foot-rot in their livestock. If the weather continues as it has over the past three months the problem of foot-rot might become quite serious even on the dryer pastures in spring and early summer. There are a num ber of remedies for foot-rot for treatment after the animal has been infected. Among these are penicillin and sulfa which have given good results, A relatively new preventative which Is nowl oeing recommended is organic-) lonine medication. Many reed lot operators have been using this for several years, however. the colleges have been reluctant to recommend its use until ex tensive research has been done.
