State-Wide "Slow
Down and Live"
Campaign Opens
Governor Robert D. 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.

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.
Washington State college recom
mend its use now and Oregon
State college has found that its
use is effective in many cases.
The recommendations for its use
is to prevent foot-rot rather than
to control it in individual ani
mals after they have had it. This
organic iodine medication is
simple and easy to use as it can
b? mixed in the feed or in the
salt. Range operators like it for
use with salt which is fed free
choice. There is also Indications
that this medication will aid
sterility cases and in some acute
and chronic mastitis.
