Safety officials again have issued a warning to motor ists to drive to stay alive. The Traffic Safety Division of the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles notes that last Labor Day week-end six people were killed and 220 were injured in 454 traffic accidents recorded during the 78-hour holiday per iod. Safety officials urged drivers to drive defensively to avoid the mistakes of other drivers in the anticipated heavy traffic. Drivers also were reminded that inattention and impatience in heavy traffic can be fatal mistakes. Oregon is experiencing the worst year in traffic bloodletting in its history, and in the face of a decrease, in highway travel. Deaths through late last week were running 28.6 ahead of the same period in 1962. See lis for envelopes of all kinds. The Gazette-Times.

They left here early August 10 heading toward Lostine only to encounter pickup trouble on Emigrant hill and had to flag down a policeman to call back to Pendleton for help and fin ally got into Lostine at 2 a.m. the next morning. They under stood their guide as saying he would have motel rooms for them, but they couldn't find a motel so crawled into a wagon loaded with straw for what was left of the night, only to be awakened at 6 a.m. for break fast. They left with their guide on two horses and pack animals to pack into their camp some 11 miles from Lostine. Here thev camped for the next two weeks with two dogs and two horses, and went over many routes from their "headquarters" to fish in the lakes in the area. And all of the trails led either straight up or straight down on rocky ledges Into this beautiful coun try. As Ernie related later, none of the land was level and Lois said the downhill was something and a bit scary with the horses having to pick their way over rocks and doing some slipping, too. They had wonderful fishing and were thoroughly thrilled with the country. Many other campers and fish ermen passed by their camp coming and going.
